Ruins Found
In Far South
Sea Islands

HONOLULU, 7. H.-Ruins said tt
be the most impressive ever dlscoy'
cred, the famous ones of Central
America not excepted. have recently
been located in the Marquesas
Islands, according to Ralph Linton
member OF one of the expeditionary
parties sent to the South Seas by the
Bishop Museum of Honolulu.
In writing to the museum here OF
his discovery, Linton said that the
4uin in question was that OF a gigan-
tic temple, decorated with sculptured
heads and full figures in a manner
unknown elsewhere in Polynesia, bur
practised by the temple builders of
Indo-China and Central America.
The old temple is on the island Of
Hiva-oa, in the Marquesas group, a
French possession.
The figures with which the temple
Is adorned are from 80 to 40 feet
high and are carved from great logs.
Their age is approximated at 200
years. although it is believed they are
copies of still older carvings.
The Bishop Museum has expedi-
lions exploring in Hawaii, Tonga, the
Austral Islands and the Marquesas,
and their discoveries have been so
they will be kept in the
field for another six months or a
year, according to DR.. II. E. Gregory,
director of the museum.

1919, with the rank of corporal.
On returning to Ashland the young
soldier made valiant effort to take
up his life again as he had laid It
down before entering his eountry's
services. During the past two years
he spent one year in the Oregon Ag-
rlcultural College, and was employed
with the Southern Pacific company
in the local baggage room and also
in the forestry service. Army life,
however, had undermined what had
formerly been strong constitution
In a perfect physique, and during the
past year Jack had undergone thrdee
serious operations, which had left
him in weakened condition to be
prey to the ravages OF disease.
"Jack Jones was the finest fellow
that ever lived" is the verdict Of his
comrades In war and former school
mates. Great-hearted. generous to
fault, steadfast in his friendships,
happy and blessed with the faculty
OF making and keeping friends, there
Is more genuine sorrow expressed
over the death OF this fine young man
than has been felt over the loss OF
many others. He is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George W.
Jones OF Oakland, and two sisters,
Mrs. Walter Hash of Ashland and
Miss Agnes Jones of Oakland.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow, Thursday. afternoon at 2
70 clock from the Dodge undertaking
parlors. These services will be at
tended by the ex-service men and
members Of the American Legion and
will be seml-milltary. Taps will be
sounded over the grave, and q firing

You are wasting time with Paris

from plants and foliage, such as lice,

thrusting their proboscis into the leaf

YOUNG Ex-sERvICE
MAN ANSWERS CALI

Ashland residents were shocked
yesterday when the news went forth
that John Heston Jones, son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. W. Jones, was dead.
While 1t was known that he had been
critically Ill since last Friday, hopes
were entertained that, In spite OF the
fears Of the attending physician, he
would recover, and the word that this
young life was ended was received
with profound sorrow by his many
friends.
Jack" Jones, as he was familiarity
known by his friends and comrades.
was taken seriously Ill Friday after
noon with what was pronounced to
be ptomaine poisoning, and had never
regained consciousness since he was
stricken. He had very recently re-
turned home from a hospital where
he had undergone an operation, and
was making his home with his sister,
Mrs. Walter HASH Up to his last
seizure, however, he had been feeling
quite well. and hopes had been en-
tertained that he would regain his
health, which had been impaired in
his service in the army overseas.
The deceased was born In Ashland
rs years ago. and was reared in this
city. where he attended high school.
graduating with the class OF 1917.
During his high school life he was a
noted football player and also took
great interest in all other student
activities.

where he remained with that COM
pany until January. 1918, at which
time the latter was disbanded, and he
was transferred into the Eighteenth
company, c. A. c.. where he was
later made corporal.
Corporal Jones was again trans
ferred to Battery F. seth Artillery,
c. A. c.. in which organization he
left for overseas in July. 1918. by
way Of England. arriving in France
September S, where he remained in
training until November IL, 1918.
After the armistiee he sailed for
home February 2. 1913, and was dis
