City TO Assume Wild
West Appearance Tonight

/ Ashland is expected to assume a
wild west appearance tonight If all
plans carry out, when w. T. Sims
arrives from Klamath county with
his big array of horses and roundup
parapkernalial The whole outfit is
due to reach here sometime this eve
ming, in order to give the horses a
chance to rest up from the long trip
here and to try them out on the
local grounds. A big array of buck
ing horses, racing horses, wild hors-
es, with their riders, ropers and per-
formers of all the various hair-rais-
ing stunts will spend the remaining
period here before the events take
place next week.
The roundup grounds have been
carefully overhauled and are In
splendid shape for the big show. The
track has been narrowed and smooth
ed over, the grandstand has been
overlooked and made safe and COM
Portable, and by the first Of the

ering will be placed over the seats.
Five new ticket offices are being
installed to accommodate the crowds
at the roundup. o. T. Bergner will
have charge of this business, and is
gathering ticket sellers who have ex-
'perience with this work to look after
each window.
Another new feature Is being ar
ranged at the roundup grounds that
will be of inestimable advantage to
the patrons. This is the establish
ment of regular jitney gate about
100 yards farther down from the
main entrance. On former occas-
ions traffic has been greatly con-
gested on account Of only one en-
trance for private cars and jitneys,
The latter takes much longer to dis
gorge their loads. on account OF pay
ing fares and making change, while
family autoes can unload in much
less time. The use of this jitney en-
trance will be strictly enforced, and
will greatly facilitate matters during
the crush at the roundup shows.

oh Say Folks! Ashland
Has A Real Ball Team

Joe with a broad smile. They look
the world in the face. And with
good cause. A complete shake-up Of

New Burglar Alarm In
Bank Proves Its Value

The sounding Of the new burglar
alarm recently installed in the Citi-
zens Bank aroused the people in the
east side at about IL o'clock Tues
day night, Just as they we're sinking
in their first beauty sleep. The sound
of the big gong jangllng out on the
might air brought out large num-
ber of residents in that vicinity
while visions of regulation bank
robbery with It's attendant excite
ment floated thru the brains of those
who were first on the scene.
Assistant Cashier F. s. Engle was
one OF the first to reach the bank.
and entered the front door, only to
find everything in order from first
Indications, and II was thought that
something had gone wrong with the
mechanism OF the burglar alarm.
A more thoro search the next
morning, however, revealed a clue
that led the bank officials to be cer-
tain that the bank had been entered
by some one at that hour and that
the vault door had been tampered
with. On closing the vault the COM
bination has to be set with absolute
accuracy, and upon close investiga-
tion II was seen that one OF the
knobs had been moved slightly.
Further investigation by Chief
of Police Hatcher found that one OF
the back windows to the bank was
unlocked Close to this window
stands the hot water tank. and in
front of this tank type writer box
had been drawn, while marks OF
greasy fingers were seen on the tank.
Dust had accumulated on the top OF
the tank, and In this was plainly
discernable a footprint, and also a
dusty footprint on the window sill.
II Is thought that the trespasser
had gained entrance to the bank by
this means, and had secured an
easy exit in case of a surprise. That
the surprise came to him when he
moved the knob on the vault door
was evident, as It set off the burglar
alarm and made noise enough to
rouse the whole city.
Another clue that led the police to
think intruders had been about the
bank was the fact that the little dog
belonging to Mrs. Wineland, who
lives In apartments in the bank
building. was aroused at about ii
O'Clock. and set up terrific barking
at the window in the apartment over
that which was later found unlock
ed. II was while the little animal
was so aghated Lhat the burglar
alarm sounded.
The bank officials are confident
that the work was that of an ANA
teur, who had dropped in and hap
pened to choose this bank out of the
three in the city on which to attempt
a robbery, as no professional would
have attempted such a job with the
prominent notices of the burglar
proof alarm staring them in the
faces from all the bank windows.
They congratulate themselves on
the fact that the new alarm proved
so efficacious on its first trial.

ENTERTAINMENT AT HIGH A DIS
TINCT SUCCESS.

A most pleasing entertainment con-
sisting Of songs and dancing was given
at the high school auditorium Friday
evening by Mrs. O. l.. Hoppe Of Min
neapolis, her little daughter, Janice
and Miss Claire Coutant. The auditor.
ium was seated to its capacity and q
neat sum was realized by tho high
school athletic association from the on
tertainment.
Mrs. Hoppe, formerly Miss Nellie
Carley Of this city, gave two groups OF
vocal selections which were very pleas
ing. Mrs. Hoppe has a beautiful So
prano voice and she sings splendidly.
Miss Coutant, aesthetic dancer, pleas
ed the audience with a Chinese dance
and Spanish dance.
A big hit of the program, however,
was the dancing and singing by Mrs
Koppe's little daughter, Janice. Al
though but five years old, she appeared
before the large audience with the ease
and grace of one accustomed to appear
ing in public. Her dancing was grace
full and she performed every number
without miss. She responded repeat.
eddy to encores for both dancing and
singing numbers. Such ability as was
shown by this little miss is seldom
found and bright future is predicted
for her.

PROPOSED
NEW LINE PROPOSED WOULD
PASS THROUGH MORRISON
COUNTY, =. h.:

A communication received by County
Auditor McNairy from a promoter in
dicates that q movement is on foot for
the establishing of a new railway sys'
TEN in Minnesota, which, if it becomes
reality, will pass through part Of
Morrison county.
The promoters communication to the
county auditor asks that in event Of
the railway being buil,, y 1O0-foot
right-of-way be given w.. company
along the route which it pr.t.> to
traverse in this county, also spa $; i.,r
stations, grain elevators and :iock-
yards where sta lions may be G.. ,.Dlish-
ed.
The estimated total mile: <. IF the
proposed railway is 1000 =. 5, and it
will traverse the territory e." cen the
twin cities and Duluth. about eight
miles of the railroad will pass through
Morrison county, the promoter states.
Although the promoter re-, ~; that
it is only when the location " TIC pro-
jected lines would be finally determin-
ed and blue prints furnished showing
the strip of land required that such aid
could be granted, his object in apply
ing for such aid, on behalf of the fu
ture company, before it's incorporation
and before the locating Of its projected
lines of railway, is to mention in the
prospectus that such aid will be granted
by the government of the counties to
be traversed, this proving the -apprecia-
ton of the enterprise by the authorities
and showing a prospective asset which
would induce the investing public to
subscribe to the preferred stock Of the
future company.
County Auditor McNairy will present
the communication to the county board
for consideration at its December
meeting.

WHAT THE RED GROSS HAS DONE.

The Red Cross has been very active
during the last Eve years giving aid
and carrying comfort to millions Of un.
fortunates in foreign lands and in ou1
own country. Belgium and France
are today blessing America and the Red
Cross for the aid given their people in
their greatest need. Serbia and Ar.
menia would have been only a memory
but for the timely aid of the Red
Cross. ~
The queen of Rumania said IT will
bless the American Red Cross every day
Of my life for aid given our poor PEG.

The saddest picture in the history Of
time was the people of Poland, slaugh-
tered, swept back and forth by the
giant armies, homeless, starving, freez-
ing, dying by the thousands Of typhus,
malaria and other hunger diseases.
Thousands of doctors and nurses have
rushed to their aid; thousands, Of tons
Of medicine and material were rushed
to Poland. Ship loads of food and
wearing apparel were distributed among
the people.
Premier Paderewski and acting
President Pilsudzki said in proclaim

tion.' Countess Turczynowicz says
the Red Cross is saving thousands of
lives in Lithuania, Esthonia, Courland,
Finland, America and the Red Cross is
the only hope Of Bolshevik-strangled
Russia.
The Red Cross has aided thousands in
the northern Minnesota forest fires.
The activities of the Red Cross during
the period of the influenza ravages last
fall are still fresh in our memory and
need no comment. The returned SOL

person can describe.
There should be at least ono Red

satisfaction to belong to this great or
