OVER VISITING TEAM

Ashland girls have proved them
selves to be the coming States

their proficiency in arguing was dem
onstrated at the debate given by a
team from the local high school and
a visiting team from the high school
of Glendale. The question for dis
cussion was Resolved. that there
should be a uniform system of COM
pulsory health insurance for work
ing men," The affirmative side of
the debate was presented by Truman
Sethro and Bert Davis of Glendale,
while the negative was ably handled
by Misses Eleanor Allen and Violet
WOODS. The judges were County
Superintendent Ager, Superintendent
Davenport of Medford, and Principal
Milan of Phoenix, and by their i'm
partial discernment the girls showed
more training in speaking before an
audience, and gave better points on
the question under debate.
Following the debate an interest
ing program was presented, opened
by Leonard Petit, who rendered two
pleasing violin solos, after which the
girls glee vlub sang. Each class
then presented tribute, consisting
of a burlesque orchestra by the
Freshmen. The Sophomores gave a
school. Clyde Gunter and
Stewart Hast represented the Jun
iors with a negro minstrel, while the
Seniors gave CDR. Kill-Cure." A
good sized audience attended the

cry of the First National Bank, re-
ceived telegram from Captain Peter
B. Kyne, the well known magazine
writer and officer in the 14Srd Field
Artillery of California's Grizzly"
Division, stating that he was passing
thru Ashland on train "a for the
north. and would like the opportun-
ity of meeting his old-time friend
and saying "Hullo." Mr.. and Mrs.
Emery accordingly met Captain Kyne
and spent the twenty minutes of the
trains stop here with this distin-
gulshed writer and soldier.
Mr.. Emery and Captain Kyne
served together in the 14th infantry
regiment in the Philippines during
the Spanish-American war, and have
ever since kept up the friendship es-
tablished at that time. The promi-
nence the latter has gained by his
interesting writings has never put
check on his friendships of former
years, and Mr. Emery was pleased
to receive the assurance that Captain
Kyne is going to pay him a visit
some time next July. His mission
this rip was to collect material some
where in the north for story he is
contemplating writing.
Accompanying Captain Kype was
Marcel Dupuys, the little French
boy who has been adopted by Capt
and Mrs. Kyne. The history of this
little waif has been repeated in the

California "Grizzlys." whose masco;
he was. The little lads mother died
when he was baby, and his father
was killed at Verdun. Homeless and
half starved the lad made his way to
the battle front and attached him
self to the soldiers there, living on
the scraps from the mess tents and
the food given him by the men. When
the 14Srd sailed for America little
Marcel was stowaway on the tans-
port, from where he was rescued by
Captain Kyne, who took him-Shome
and adopted him.

JOINT FIELD AND TRACK
MEET OF COUNTY SCHOOLS

Ashland and Medford will hold a
joint field and track meet with a
team Of the best athletes selected
from other schools. II present plans
discussed at meeting Of the Jack
son County High School Teachers AS
sociation held at Ashland on Wash
ington's birthday materialize, some
representatives from this valley will
be sent to the State Athletic Contest
held at Eugene.
The executive committee of the
Southern Oregon Athletic Associa.
tion which is composed of all dis
tricts Of the second and third class
in Jackson county decided to hold
another annual field and track meet
at Talent, probably on the 18th of
May The usual field and track
events will be held, boys and girls
being divided into classes so that
many will be benefited by the phys.-
cal training. Prin. G. r. Robinson
Of Talent was elected president OF
the organization for the present
year, Prin. G. w. Godward of Jack
sonville, Vice President, and Prin
G. w. Milan of Phoenix, Secretary
Treasurer.
This league is composed of repre-
sentatives of all schools of the sec
ond and third class in Jackson coun-
ty and has staged four successful
meets at Talent in past years. The
prize trophy is the silver cup put up
by the Olympic Society of the Talent
schools in 1914 with the understand
ing that it will be held a year by the
school winning the greatest number
Of points at any authorized athletic
meet. The cup can pass into perma-
nent possession of school only after
having been won three times. Gold
Hill held the cup one year in 1914,
Central Point is 1915, Talent in
1916 and Phoenix in 1917. On ac-
count of the innumerable activities
in the spring of 1918 brought about
by the war, no regular annual con-
tests were held last year.
In order that there might be no
conflicts in dates, and rules govern
ing the conduct of the various meets
the High School Teachers Associa-
tion appointed a committee consist
ing of County Supt. G. w. Ager of
Jacksonville, Prin. Peter l.. Spen-
Ger of Ashland, Prin. G. w. Cod
ward of Jacksonville, Miss Rosetta
McGrail and Miss Newland, both Of
Medford, whose duty it will be to

were in Ashland, in time to be the
honor guests Of the gigantic recep-
tion planned for them Monday night.
For this event the Elks generously
opened the doors Of their club rooms,
and an invitation to the public was
given. The response to this was
great, but the management was ready
for them and amusement was pro-
vided for all. An orchestra dispens-
ed music for those who wished to
dance. Card tables were arranged
for any who wanted to pass a social
hour with this diversion and large
assemblage visited with one another,
and greeted the war veterans with
the glad hand Of welcome. The Ash
land band also rendered some delight
ful selections.
Short addresses were made by Hon.
Il. v. Carter and Rev. w. l.. Mel
linger in which they welcomed the
members of the 65th home again in
the name of Ashland and her citi-
zens. Mrs. H. T. Elmore and Mr.. and
Mrs. d. d. Norris sang several fine
selections. A cafeteria luncheon was
served in the dining room, presided
over by the canteen managers. The
reflection was furnished by the citi-
zens of the city, who wished to con-
tribute their bit to the pleasure and
entertainment OF the boys who had
offered their lives for their country.
A host of cakes were contributed by
the housewives Of the city; d. Peroz-
q! furnished the ice cream; the White
House grocery the coffee; Enders &
Sons the sugar; E. N. Norton and
Mrs. A. c. Joy the cream, while the
Elks we're prodigal with cigars, Gig
arettes and other luxuries which
were lavishly bestowed upon the boys
in khaki.
The guests Of honor we're the popu-
lar heroes Of the hour, and altho
they took their honors modestly, the
joy Of being once more with their
loved ones at home away from the
hof.s sors Of the past year could be
seen in the shining eyes and happy
faces as the friends and neighbors
gathered around them with greetings
and fluctuations for their safe re-
turn.

Policeman Lowe
Killed by Train

George NJ. Lowe, night policeman,
was struck by passenger train No.
15 as 1t pulled into the station Sum
day night and was instantly killed.
The tragedy occurred at 1920 and
was not witnessed by any one, altho
the body was identified Immediately
after the accident. 1t Is supposed
that Mr.. Lowe was standing near the
main track, thinking that the train
would come up to the station on the
track nearest the building. On the
contrary the train was sent in on the
second track AS the engine passed
the point where Mr.. loves body was
found the engineer thought he struck
some substance, and called to Mr..
Moody, one OF the switchmen on tho
front of the engine, that he feared
be had struck a man.
AS soon as the train came to a
stop Mr.. Moody hurried back, but in
the meantime Sheriff Terrill and two
deputies, who were at the station,
had walked down the track and dis
covered a man lying by the side OF
the train. A further investigation
revealed the fact that II was Police
man Lowe. He was lying on his
side, having been struck in the back.
Death was instantaneous.
This terrible tragedy is a sad blow
to the family and many friends Of
Mr.. Lowe. He was a popular man
among his business associates and
was we'll known by a large number OF
acquaintances. He is survived by
his wife, two daughters and three
sons. These are Mrs. Clyde Dean
OF Portland; Miss Millie Lowe, who
has been employed in Portland for
the past year. but who had come to
Ashland Saturday to visit her par.
ents; j. E. Lowe of Park City. Utah,
Ralph, at Camp Lewis; and Ronald,
at home.
Owing to the children being sum-
moned from their present abodes
funeral services have not been ar
ranged at this writing.

ASHLAND WINS AGAIN
FROM ROsEBURG TEAM

The Roseburg basketball team
came to Ashland last Thursday with
high spirits and lofty reputation.
After mixing with the red and white
delegation for a couple OF games
their spirits shrunk and their repu-
tation underwent a sudden change
for the worse.
The first game was played Thurs
day night at the high school gym.
The Ashland team was determined to
get Roseburg's goat this year and
played a dashing game from start to
finish, sweeping the northern team
off the map by score Of 81 to IL.
"Deke" Bryant, Ashland's crack
forward, was responsible for 23 Of
the local score, while Jazz" McMil-
Ian succeeded In sending the ball for
six trips thru the basket. Fraser and
Burnett played a smashing defensive
game. the former finally getting
yanked out for mussing up a Rose.
burg pompodour. "v" Young sub
stituted for Fraser.
The second game was patterend
after Waterloo" with Roseburg the
losers. The score was SO to 13 and
the Ashland rooters feel that this
is a pretty swell comeback for the
trimmings that the yellow and black
have handed them in the past. Bry-
ant, Clary and Mcmillan each scored
enough to beat Roseburg single
handed and Bunny" Burnett and
Fraser held the visitors down in
great style. Toward the end of the
game Young substituted for Fraser
and Long for Mcmillan.
"Wappo" Long proved that a bas-
ketball game was not a pink tea
when he accidently collided with an
unfortunate opponent. The Roseburg
man was game, however, and after
wiping the blood from the promi-
nent part of his face, resumed the
game. No other casualties reported
You have got to hand II to Coach
King as being some architect when II
comes to building teams. In the
Fast two years he has develop team
that will stand comparison with any
basketball quintet that has ever worn
the red and white. Next Tuesday tho
local team leaves to invade the North.
We all wish them the best Of luck.
The Thursday night preliminary
between the Roseburg girls and the
Ashland girls was one Of the fastest
girls games Of the season and was
finally won by the yellow and black
with a score Of Is to 10. The pre-
limlnary for Saturday nights game
was between the Talent five and the
Ashland second team, which was won
by the former, 22 to is. Lee Heer
starred for the Ashland second.
The Ashland basketball team will
