DEACON" WALKER STRUCK
by SHELL THEN GASSFD

The Gold Hill News states that
news has reached there relative to
the injuries of l.. o. Walker, former
resident of Ashland, whose name ap-
peared short time ago among the
caspAlties from France. A letter
from Mr.. Walker to his wife in Port
land gives out the fact that he was,
as he claims. tipped over with Il
shell and then gassed."
Since the receipt of his letter and
the news that he was among those
injured on the front, much anxiety
has been manifest by his friends
The meagerness of the information
has led them to think he is more
seriously injured than his cheerful
letters give out. However, those
more intimate with him know his Vi
tality will pull him thru most any
thing and look for him to return
here in perfectly good shape. One
thing sure, he went to France to get
into the thick Of 1t and he certainly
has accomplished his desire with .
vengeance.

ASHLAND MEETS FAVOR

Mr.. and Mrs. Alwine and soldier
son of Laurel, Montana, also Hon. II.
Jorgenson and wife OF Great Falls,
Montano, stopped off in Ashland FRI
day night while on their way to Cali
form. spend the winter. During
the'- stay here they became acquaint-
ed with Mayor C. b. Lamkin, who
persuaded them to remain in this
city another day. In order to make
their sojourn here a memorable one
Mayor Lamkin took them abount III
his car and showed them the various
interesting sights OF Ashland, which
the visitors claimed is the most beau
tiful place they ever saw. The Chan'
tauqua building in particular caugh'
their fancy, and they considered 1t
marvel. Mr.. Jorgcnson is in rather
poor health, and after drinking lithia
water during his stay here he stated
that he felt much better. The visitors
we're so impressed with Ashland that
they declared they would stop OIL
again on their return.

GOLD NINE ROBBER WAS
APPREHENDED In uTAH

X. w. Dewitt, one of the men who
robbed the Boswell mine near Hol-
land of $4,000 in gold last May, was
captured at Salt Lake City last week.
His companion, J. F. Howell, is still
at large and his whereabouts are
unknown. The robbery of this gold
was particularly sensational. Mr..
Boswell and his son. Robert, Jr..,
were at their retort working when
Dewitt and Howell, using handker.
chiefs for masks, suddenly closed in
and with drawn guns ordered the
Boswells to throw up their hands.
They tied their victims to a tree and
proceeded to secure the $4,000 in
gold. The junior Mr.. Boswell has
since died in the service in France.

Government Orders
Salvage Retained

Many inquiries are being made as
to whether the salvage depot will
continue its work now that hostilties
have ceased. This institution has
been demonstrated to be the best
money making arrangement that has
been organized for Red Cross work,
and is so recognized by the govern
ment that notice was sent to the Ash
land Red Cross branch that If a SAL
wage department was not already or
ganized In this city, 1t should be
done Immediately and carried on as
long as Red Cross war work is re-
quired.
The local salvage depot was start
ed in August under the auspices Of
the Civic Improvement Club as
Red Cross measure of that club.
Since that date the management has
made over one thousand dollars
which were turned over to Red Cross
purposes, besides being a happy
means of utilizing cast off garments
and articles that have n habit OF ac-
cumulating in a household waiting
for the time to come when they will
be of use again.
AT first glance the salvage depot
does not appear to have much desir-
able wares, but closer inspection
invariably leads every visitor to find
something that fills long felt want.
The idea that this is only to supply
the needs of those whose means do
not allow them to make purchases
Of new and more expensive articles
Is an erroneous one. There are few
II any housewives in Ashland but
have found exactl, TIE article here
that they have long wanted, but
could not obtain anywhere else at the
present time.
The present needs of the salvage
depot are clothing of all kinds, as
the demand for this Is greater than
ever before. The good fairy who has
always looked after the interests Of
this department is also asked to in
tercede for wood for use in the stors
room, as the present supply is get
ting low. ...tt. t

THIS DISTRICT LOOKS
GOOD TO IDAHOANS

Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney r. Parks, who
came to Ashland some time ago from
Roseberry, Idaho, have decided to
make this section their permanent
residence, and have purchased the C.
B. Haney ranch across Bear creek.
After Mr.. and Mrs. Parks had spent
several weeks here they had shipped
their goods back to Idaho, intending
to return to their former home, but
the mild weather and fine climate
made such favorable impression
that they decided to remain here, and
have sent for their goods to be re-
turned. The deal includes a team,
IA head of cattle, II hogs, all farm
machinery, hay, grain and household
goods belonging to Mr.. Haney.

WOUNDED SOLDIER HAS
RETURNED FROM FRANCE

Ashland was visited by soldier
from the battle fields Of France dur
ing the past week. This was Corpor-
al Burton X. Coder of Company NJ,
111th Infantry, Idaho, who stopped
off while on his way to Camp Lewis
to spend a few days with his father,
Il. II. Coder. This young man gave
his right eye for his country at the
Argonne Forest battle on October T.,
and has been in hospitals ever since
until he was sent home.
Mr.. Coder was a rancher at Noun
tain Home, Idaho, and entered the
government service May 29, after
which he was hurried to the front.
and saw service first for two weeks
in the Verdun sector. Later his reg!-
ment went to the Argonne Forest
where on account Of the excellent
record he had made at Camp Kearny
he was assigned sniper. During the
fiercest battle of the past years cam
paign Mr.. Coder was struck by ex-
ploding shrapnel shell which took
one eye and knocked out two front
teeth. This finished the war so far
as he was concerned, and he was
sent back to the hospitals, from where
later he was sent home on a return
ing transport filled with wounded.
Despite the loss OF his eye, Mr..
Coder Is not at all downcast and takes
his injury simply as one of the for
tunes OF war. II would rather had
my part in the great war;" he re-
marked while in Ashland, than TO
have my right eye back again" The
"reminiscences he brings back with
him are enough to fill book, altho
many OF them are painful to relate.

NEW SECTION OF PACIFIC
HIGHWAY NOW COMPLETED

The state highway unit from Duns-
muir to Sims, a distance of thirteen
miles, has been completed by the con-
tractor, G. w. COnners, tho the road
will not be accepted by the state
highway commission until after n
winters rains have tested out the
fills and drains. The contract price
for the thirteen miles was 100000,
states the Siskiyou News.
To this sum must be added the
cost of three bridges-across Castle,
Flume and Mears creeks, $4,000.
Fills at the approaches to these
bridges will have to be constructed
by the contractor who built the high
way unit, but this will be small job.
1t is now possible to travel from
Dunsmuir to Redding by automobile.
For several weeks cars had to be
shipped between these two points
This condition, however, is likely to
be upset by the first heavy rains. q
tourist made the trip from Dunsmuir
to Redding the other day in four
hours and twenty minutes.
Fitzpatrick has not finished his
contract between Lamoine and Pol
lock, the bridge crossing of the Sac
ramento, but this part Of the road is
passable anyway.
1t is safe to predict that early In
the spring the state highway between
Redding and Dunsmuir will be In
fine condition and will be opened
permanently.
Corners has been eighteen months
on the Dunsmuir-Slme unit.

Fire Damaged -Four
Buildings on Almond

A fire which for a time threatened
to destroy a considerable portion Of
Almond street occurred Thursday
about one o'clock. Only the united
efforts OF the fire department and a
large number Of citizens saved at
least four buildings in that vicinity
from destruction. The blaze started
on the roof of the e. L. Miller prop
erty on the corner OF Church and
Almond streets, presumably from a
spark from the chimney. When dis
covered almost the entire roof was
burning, and while the firemen EN-
deavored to keep down the flames
from communicating to adjacent
residences the neighbors who had
gathered at the scene carried out the
furniture from the burning building
Nearly all the furniture was removed
from the lower floor, but the con-
tents OF the second story was either
burned or ruined with water.
A high wind carried sparks and
bits Of burning shingles towards the
north, and in a short time the rooi
Of vacant house on Mob Hill and
Almond began to blaze. This was

calls and water, but not before con-
siderable damage was done to the

s in Hargadne, making a total OF
1O4 or these interments, 30 were
non-residents who we're brought here

twenty over the year 1917, but is
largely due to the fact that sixteen
more interments OF non-residents

they numbered nineteen. The num-
ber of interments by cemeteries last

SHARE OF
ARMENIAN RELIEF PAID

Jackson county's quota for the Ar
menian Relief Fund has been fixed
at $1,000. The quota for the Ash"
land-Talent-P Phoenix district amounts
to $116.67. Altho the campaign in
the state has not yet opened, Ash
lands quota of $116.67 has already
been fully paid and the draft has
been forwarded to the Portland head
quarters. This prompt measure is
the result of the Ashland Relief Fund
that covers all these war charities
demands and does away with all So
Letting campaigns.
