SUDDEN DEATH OF
ASHLAND MAN AT
co COURT HOUSE

A telephone message came to
Ashland about noon today bear
iIs the shocking news that
County Commissioner George
Owen, one of the most prominent
residents OF this section of the
county, had dropped dead this
forenoon while court was in ses-
SIGN. Mr.. owens death occurred
about IL o'clock, and was due to
stroke of apoplexy, it is stated
Mr.. Owen had been home last
evening, where he had been call
ed to attend to the matter oil
making out the deeds relating to
the sale of the Hotel Austin, in
which he had an interest. He
PASSED the night at his home east
OF Ashland, and went down to the
county court in Jacksonville this
morning, arriving at the court
house about 1920 o'clock. Al
his request the business before
the session of court this morning
was called, and it was while this
was in progress that Mr.. Owen
who was sitting at table, fell
forward. Men in the court room
rushed to his assistance, but death
was practically instantaneous.
The news of Mr.. Owens death
came as a great shock to Ash
land, where he was well known
and highly esteemed. He had
been resident of this section fei
the past 25 years, coming from
Klamath county and beginning
life in Jackson county on the farm
east of Ashland which today Is
one OF the finest ranches of the
valley. He married Miss Camilla
Walker, member of one of the
pioneer families of the valley, who
with one daughter, Mrs. Sumner
Parker, survives. Mr.. Owen was
also engaged extensively in stock
raising, and had several ranches
devoted to this business in the
Dead Indian country. He was q
native of California and was
about So years of age.
While Mr.. Owen was affiliated
with the business interests of tht
county he had never sought po-
litical preferment until four years
ago, when he was elected county
commissioner, and was just com
p!eting his term of that office
for which he had refused tC
again become a candidate. He was
member of Ashland lodge, No
S44, B. P. o. E., and was one
OF the past exalted Elks.
The body of the late Mr.. Owen
was brought to Ashland from
Jacksonville this afternoon at
1870, to the Dodge undertaking
rooms, and funeral arrange
ments will be announced later

KALE SHEPHERD
DROWNED IN LAKE

Particulars concerning the death
of Kale Shepherd, the former
Ashland resident who was
drowned near Bend Saturday,
reached Ashland yesterday. Ac-
cording to reports Mr.. Shepherd
was drowned in Suttle's lake, and
two companions, Norval Springer
and Harry Brewer, were rescued
after an hour and a half in the
icy waters of the lake where they
had clung to a capslzed boat. The
body of Mr.. Shepherd was not
found until 8 o'clock the next
morning.
Accompanied by Noryal Springer
Of Bend, it was learned Shepherd
set out by auto Saturday morning
for Square lake. From Suttle lake
the trip had to be made by boat
and on foot and, despite the fact
that high wind was blowing,
they started across the lake, TAX
ing with them 20-year-old Harry
Brewer, who had been left in
charge Of the Suttle lake resort.
Skirting the shore they had been
en- the water for about Is min
utes when the detachable motor
at the rear end OF the boat re-
fused to work and one of the oars
manned by Springer slipped from
the lock and the boat swung
broadside to the wind, shipping
water so rapidly that the occu-
pants, equipped only with hats
fer bailing, were constantly losing
ground.
She's filling" Shepherd called,
and rising from his seat jumped
overheard, and, though ham
pered by rubber hip boots and a
slleepskin coat, struck out strong
ly for shore, a distance of "a little
more than SO yards. When more
than half way to the shore and
cnly 80 feet from a point where he
would have found a gravel beach
underfoot he sank.
In jumping overheard Shep-
herd capsized the craft and twice
in the next hour and a half
Springer's life was saved by young
Brewer, the only one of the two
who was able to swim.
Alternately immersed in the
icy waters of the lake and cling
ing to the bottom of the boat, they
we're finally rescued when WI
liam Young, proprietor of the re-
sort, arrived at the boat landing
with F. +. Howard OF Bend, and,
hearing calls for help, put out on
the lake. Springer was uncon-
scious for three hours after his
rescue.
The fact that the motor slipped
from the boat at the time 1t was
overturned is believed to have
saved the life of at least one of
the survivors, as the craft other
wise would have been unable to
sustain the combined weight OF
Springer and Brewer.
The body of Mr.. Shepherd will
arrive in Ashland Wednesday
morning on train No. 10, and will
be taken to the home of his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Shep-
herd at 65S Boulevard, from
where the funeral under the au-
spices of Ashland Lodge, No. 23,
A. +. & A. NJ, in the afternoon
at 3 o'clock, will be held. Inter-
ment will be made in Mountain
View cemetery. The deceased is
survived by his wife and little
daughter, his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. C. F. Shepherd, and one
brother, Earl Shepherd of Klam-
ath Falls.

The Ashland Fruit and Produce
association is getting ready ioI
the gooseberry crop which will be-
gin to come in next week. Mana
ser A. c. Briggs has contracted
for from Is to is tons,
Which will be shipped to Salem
anG disposed Of to the cannery
there. The price for this berry
is unusually good this year, and
they have found a ready market.
According to Mr., Briggs this
section of the country promises
about a 65 per cent crop of fruit
this season. While at blossom
time indications pointed to a won
de- field yield OF fruit, the cold
r.ins that came on when the fruit
trees we're in bloom retarded the
bees from working in the bios
SONS and kept the pollen from
flying. For this reason the fruit
outook is not so good as the earlier
days Of the season promised

GASOLINE SHORTAGE GROW
ING SERIOUS.

There is real shortage OF gas
oline throughout the whole coun-
try. The demand is simply
greater than the supply. Some
body is going to have to curtail
ON the use of gasoline. 1t is ex-
Ceedingly important that the ne
cessities of the community be con-
tinued, such as heavy trucking in
lumber, road building and the
like, but unless the joy riding is
curtailed it will be impossible to
supply fuel enough to keep the
important industries moving.
This is a real crisis and every
citizen should do his part to avert
real calamity.

JESSE WINBURN
TO GIVE ENTIRE
TIME TO ASHLAND

- ~ -
This morning Prof. Vining re-
ceived from Mr.. Winburn the fol-
lowing telegram which speaks for
itself:
New York, May 25, 1920.
Prof. Irving f. Vining, Ashland,
Oregon.
"You will be glad to know that
sold my advertising interest TO
Barron G. Collier In a satisfactory
way. | will now be entirely free
to give my thought to the Ash
land project. VIII write you fully
not later than this week.
JESSE WINBURN."
This means that Mr.. Winburn
has closed out large interests in
New York which run into the mil
lions and expects to give his time
to the Ashland project. Mr.. Win.
burn is recognized throughout the
United States as the largest sim
/ gle representative OF car adyer-
tising in the country. He was
employed by the city of New York
to plan all the advertising for the
great subway and carried it
through successfully. As presi-
dent Of the Associated Advertisers
of America he directed the free
army advertising campaign in
every large city in the country
during the war. His large busi-
ness connections brought him in
contact with practically every large
concern in the United States.
No other man has larger per-
sonal acquaintance with men of
wealth, influence and business
ability. He was not only big in
the business field of New York
city, but had wide influence in the
politics OF the state of New York
Mr.. Winburn has been a world
traveller and is familiar with for
eign as well as domestic trade
and has the knowledge and ability
to bring to the Ashland project
the best talent to be found in the
country. He is a man of active,
nervous temperament and is ac-
customed to and demands always
the best.
A few days ago f. V. Carter met
a gentleman in Portland from New
York City and incidentally men
toned that Mr.. Winburn was con-
sidering taking hold of the Ash
land project, whereupon the gen.
tlcman responded: "You mean
Jesse Winburn OF the Car Adver-
tising company of New York;"
Yes" replied Mr.. Carter well, -
responded the gentleman, you
will never get that man interest
ed in little community like Ash
land, he is too big a man to inter-
est himself in a small undertake
ing like that"
When Mr.. Winburn visited Ash
land he remarked that he was
growing tired of the drum and
rattle incident to business life in
the great cities and contemplated
disposing of his interests in New
York and interesting himself in
country projects in which a con-
structive man could take joy In
accomplishment while enjoying the
freedom of wide and thrilling ma
ture such as he found in this sec
ton.
II is very likely that Mr.. Win
burn will have residence here
permanently.
Ashland is extremely fortunate
in connecting up with such abil-
ity and spirit and disposition to de-
velop as ii did when Jesse Win
burn became financially interest
ed in her future. Ashland should
and will stand solidly behind Mr..
Winburn in his good work.
