CROWD LARGER
THAN LAST YEAR

1t is estimated that larger
crowd visited Ashland yesterday
than last year. Notwithstanding
the fact that the roundup, which
was such a drawing card for the
rast four years, was eliminated
this year the people from all the
country round took the time Of
to celebrate anyway, and were here
in force for the last day of the
celebration, and many came the
first day and remained through
the entire celebration. Chief OF
Police Hatcher estimated he
parked upwards of 1000 more
cars yesterday than he did the
Fourth last year. The upper PARK
during the fireworks display was
solid mass of people, while the
drives everywhere within reach OF
that section were parked with cars
as thick as they could get room
ana each car contained anywhere
from four to eight people.

CONTESTS MUCH JOY
TO THE CHILDREN

This celebration, perhaps more
than the most, has been one OF
unalloyed Joy to the children, fol
they have been given a place all
their own on the program OF
sports. Saturday afternoon a
long series OF contests were CIV
en- in the park by children under
l6 years OF age, and any and all
were allowed TO enter. All sorts
OF sports were pulled off under
the direction of John Beeson, and
afforded great delight to the par
ticipants as well as to the specta-
tors.
An insistent demand from the
children that a series of sports be
put on Sunday afternoon caused
Nj Beeson to relent, and all af-
ternoon a big crowd of the young
er celebrators were at the park
taking part in the races and con-
tests. Owing to the great inter-
est taken in these contests Mr..
Beeson made out a larger and
more elaborate program of events
which are being put on this af-
ternoon.

INSTRUCTORS FOR
SUMMER SCHOOL
ARE ARRIVING

As time for the opening of the
Summer School draws near, final
plans are being completed and
ample provision is being made for
the accommodation of the stu
dents. Miss Edith Lindsay Of
Corvallis, recent graduate Of
the Oregon Agricultural College,
has arrived in the city to take
charge of the physical education
for women and girls.
Private lessons in piano, voice
and violin and class lessons in
theoretical subjects as well as
chorus rehearsals will be held in
the Auxiliary room on the second
floor of the same building. For
the use of the department of phys
ical education the Armory has
been secured while the Natator-
iums of the city will be utilized
for the instruction in swimming,
Should there be sufficient demand
for classes in conversational
French and Spanish, a competent
professor can be secured on mo-
ments notice from the Universi-
ty. These would be most profit
able courses and well worth the
time spent.
Inquiries are already coming in
to the director regarding the ad-
vantages offered by the Summer
School and much interest is being
shown. Until further notice head
quarters OF the school will be To-
Gated in the Commercial Club

CAT TAKES COYOTES
FOR HER OWN FAMILY

COTTONWOOD FALLS, KAN
In addition to an already large
family of kittens, a cat which be.
longs to the NJ. Brent family OF
South Fork has adopted two coy.
cte puppies.
Several weeks ago when w. w
Buckbee and X. II. Carter, who
live near the Brent farm, found
the den of coyote on the latter's
place they captured several very
small coyote puppies. When
shown at the Brent farmhouse
some of the children wanted the
little coyotes and paid their cap
tors for two of them.
The little coyotes were placed
among the kittens belonging to
the old family cat and, after a
careful scrutiny and a few shifts,
the old cat began mothering them
the same as her own kittens.
Now the cats family of kittens
and the two adopted coyote pup
pies are nearly two months old
ana all live together happily and
appear to be making the most of
life. The coyotes are getting
much bigger than the kittens and
are playful and mischievous. In
the rough-and-tumble tussles they
are continually staging the coy
otes are the stronger, but the kit
tens are more active, so it is
about an even match as yet. While
the coyotes can easily wallOp the
kittens in straight out fight;
yet the latter. when on the defen-
siye, will curl up on their backs
and keep the coyote puppies at bay
by the rapid kicks OF hind legs and
the scratching of their sharp
claws.

rived we found it pretty wei
crowded and no wonder. Seems
that you have furnished every
conceivable convenience for the
tourist and camper and combined
with its beautiful location maker
it simply ideal.
"And then too, one meets with
such a splendid cordial reception
here. Every one you meet has q
smile and Il friendly word-makes
a fellow feel right at home. We
really intended going right on u
state, but this is tco good a city
to pass up"

ing, in which were featured up
wards of 100 characters. This was
a pantomime of the charming old
legend, "Hiawatha's Wooing,'
portrayed by Longfellow, and read
by Mrs. Ray McAdams, under
direction of the latter and assist
ed by Frances Montgomery, who
staged all the dances. The curtain
was raised on the forest home OF
Hiawatha, represented by DR.. Mox
on, and his old mother, Nokomis
with Indian girls of Hia watha's
people, tLucile Perozzi and Au
dry Roberts,. They consult about
the proper choice of a wife fol

ing a stranger maiden, but the
former remembers the charms OF
MiDnehaha, the lovely daughter
of the ancient arrow maker, I'm

The next scene depicted the
gorgeous picture of the village
and the home of the old arrow
maker CW. ID. MacAdams), who
with his daughter Minnehaha
molly Clary), are seated before
their wigwam. The arrival of Hi
awatha brings joy to the village
and he asks for the hand of
the lovely Laughing Water.
Gathered about their wig
wan home were the other
members of the household, the
young arrow maker (Mr. Judkins)
and Minnchaha's friends, DOR
Cthy and Helen Tinker and Mrs.
Harrison.)
After the betrothal the old ar
row maker. summons the Spirits
of the Woods to celebrate the
festival of joy in honor of the
marriage of his daughter, Min
nehaha. This was beautifully
enacted by pantomime by the
children who were gorgeously
robed to represent the various
features in the festival. The
young planters appear to till the
ground, and were surprised by
tho storm clouds, who following
the north wind, swept over the
fields of corn. The young braves,
called the chasers of the storm
clouds, dispelled the storm spir-
its. Then came the happy Spirit
Of Light, who brought as an Of
feIlng for Minnehaha's happiness
the beautiful flowers of the woods,
the Violets, Wild Roses and Dali
sizes, who bade farewell to Mime
Eaha. as an Indian brave sang
for them his love song. The chill
dren in these features were dressed
to represent their characters, and
in their graceful manner carried
out the scene as depicted. Too
much credit cannot be given to
those who participated in the pa
geant, those who trained the chill
dren and the women of Ashland
who spent much time and skill in
making the costumes and ar
ranging the scenes.
