Church Starts Year

Good fellowship reigned supreme
at the annual church dinner preced-
ing the congregational meeting OF the
Presbyterian church Wednesday eve
ming which took place in the church
Iparlors at 6 o'clock. Tables were
set to accommodate upwards Of 200
people, and when the guests sat down
to the repast II was evident that the
war was over and the reign Of Her
bert Hoover had been relegated to
the discard. More good things to eat
were placed before the people pres
ent than they could possibly make
way with, altho each and everyone
strove most valiantly to do his or her
duty in sampling the culinary skill OF
THE Ashland cooks. r
The particular reason for the ex-
cessive good humor Of the church
Officials came 10 light after the meal
had progressed sufficiently to allow
those participating to give attention
to other affairs than those before
their immediate notice, when the re-
ports OF the board OF trustees and
various auxiliaries were read. On

been appointed TO make the every
member canvass by which this con-

Few Garments Be-
ing Given Red Cross

The Red Cross rooms are open
daily to receive contributions Of
used and surplus garments that have
been requested for the suffering poor
in Europe. Up to the present very
little has been contributed. Probably
one of the reasons for this ig the fact
that Ashland housewives have ran
sacked their closets repeatedly dur
ing the past two years and have
CLEANED out everything for the vari-
Gus calls that have been made until
nothing Is left but the bare necessi-
ties. However, II during the spring
cleaning garments are found that are
absolutely not required by members

this clothing, is at the Red Cross
rooms every day to receive the con-
tributions.

Rupert Make Escape

Elton Beeson, of Talent, not only
unknowingly aided Red Rupert, the
Portland convict, to make sure his
escape from the convict camp at Gold
Hill last Monday, but slept with Red,
still ignorant of his identity that
night, says the Medford Tribune.
Beeson was about, to ship load
of cattle to Gazelle, CAL, Monday
morning, when Rupert, following his
escape. approached him and asked II
he did not want help to care for the
cattle en- route. Beeson did, and SO
Rupert was hired and got aboard
with Beeson and the cattle. They
slept together in the hotel at Gazelle
that night, and next afternoon Ru-
pert boarded train to the south and
to further liberty.
7 Beeson did not learn until his re-
turn home of Rupert's escape and
when he read his published descrip-
tion at once recognized the erstwhile
cattle helper as Rupert, and so noti-
fled the authorities.

The public service commission has

In Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford,

ed for by the company effective April

First 200 cubic feet, or less, per
month, s1.O5.
Next 1900 cubic feet per month,

All over 5000 cubic feet per month

Next $4,000 cubic feet of gas used

From a full consideration Of the

are unreasonable and unjustly dis
