ATTY GENERAL WHITE
SAYS ORE. NATIONAL.
GUARD PROFITABLE.
(From Mondays Daily

Oregon derived a net profit of
$1I9,077 in the operation of its ma
tional guard during the past year,
according to an annual financial
statement issued by George A.
White, Adjutant General Of the
State. This was accomplished under
the joint Army partnership with the
Federal Government through which
the United States Treasurer distrib-
uted in Armory payrolls and camp
pay among 2400 Oregonians located
in twenty Oregon cities the sum of
$199, ,O52.50, the total cost to the
State of administration and upkeep
being $79,975.
This years profit was nearly four
times as much as was derived from
the Governments payrolls last year,
due to the increase in size of the
State service and success in meeting
all Government requirements for pay
of the Oregon citizen soldiers. In
addition to the $199,O52 received in
cash the State secured the award of
Federal property amounting TO
$257,217.29.
Towns receiving bundles of U. S.
Treasury checks for drill and camp
pay of citizens include Ashland,
Medford, Marshfield, Newport, Toll
edo, Roseburg, Eugene, Albany, Sa-
lem, Portland, Independence, Cor
wallis, Dallas, McMinnylle, Silverton,
Woodburn and Lebanon.
Companies are now being formed
at Cottage Grove, Hood River and
Gresham. Companies are planned
for other Oregon towns as soon as
further Federal appropriations are
made, as follows: Astoria, Tilla-
nook, Hillsporo, Forest Grove, Pen
dleton, LaGrande, Baker, Prineville,
The Dalles, Bend, Grants Pass and
klamath Falls.

fur on. AS many as fifty hides are
sometimes undergoing the tanning
process at one and the same time.
The process requires from two weeks
to month, the skins passing
through seven solutions, all Of which
must be mixed and handled Just
right to obtain best results.
Mr.. Mckinney is an artist in his
chosen trade and thoroughly enjoys
his work. The quality Of his product
is such good advertisement that he
gets all the business he can take
care Of. Skunk and rabbit hides may
be added to those now tanned, and
perhaps calf cattle and horse hides.
In the latter event, tanning would
become a prominent Ashland indus
try. Oak bark, one of the principal
materials used in leather making,
can be obtained here in large guam
titles.
Mr. Mckinney is planning to build
a bungalow on his place across the
highway from frederick. Gloves
made from Mckinney buckskin have
the unusual quality of keeping soft
and pliable after getting wet. Mr..
Mckinney used to run gun store

ALLEN DAVIS
DEATH RECALLS
FRONTIER DAYS
(From Fridays Daily

The death of Allen Davis Tuesday
marked the passing Of one of the
many who braved the dangers in
crossing the plains during the early
settlement of the coast country.
Allen Davis was born in Madison
county, Mo-, September 27, 1884. In
1855, the lure of the gold country
was too strong for him to resist, and
with an OK wagon for transportation,
he crossed the plains, landing at
Bare creek, Shasta county, Calf,
during the same year. He remained
in Shasta county and engaged in
mining until 1866, when he moved
to Trinity county and engaged in
both farming and mining until 1879
when he removed to Siskiyou coun-
ty. There he took up a homestead
and became very successful cattle
man. In 1884 during the Sullivan
excitement on Willow creek, near
Gazelle, the old mining blood called
and he responded, remaining in this
district for many years. In 1898 he
discovered the famous Dewey mine
which proved to be one of the rich
est in Siskiyou county.
In 1900 Davis decided to quit min
ing and moved to Ashland, where he
had continually resided until his
death on January 3. On September
3, 1860, Mr.. Davis was married to
Nancy ]. Akers, who lived until No
vember 16, 1917. BY this union
there were two daughters and one
son still living: Mrs. Will Mason,
Mrs. W. R. Davis, and Grant Davis,
of Talent. There are fifteen grand
children and eighteen great grand
children.

OPEN HIGHWAY
TO CALF. PRIDE
OF ROAD CONN.
(From FRIDAYS Daily)

For the first time this winter,
Ashland residents awoke this morn
ing to look out upon snow covered
world, the first snowfall of any con-
siderable amount experienced after
occasional but brief warnings from
Jack Frost. Snow started to fall
early this morning, measuring a
depth of four and half inches, ac-
cording to the report made by Louis
Dodge, government weather obser-
yer. Although snow to a depth Of
four feet is reported to cover the
Siskiyou mountain summit, Mr..
Dodge believes the report to be ex-
aggerated.
Regardless of snowfalls, the high
way over the Siskiyous will be kept
open throughout the winter by the
use of horses and drags. George
MacVicars. resident state highway
engineer, says. Three men, paid by
the state only at times when their
services are needed, are stationed at
the summit during the winter. Last
year, the first time means were en-
ployed by the state to clear the road
Of snow, the total expense to the
state amounted to 1920.
Up until today very little work in
clearing the road over the Siskiyous
this year has been necessary. Ac-
cording to Engineer MacVicar, the
highway is being put to much great
er use by California bound auto
tourists this year than ever before.
An average of fifteen cars is report
ed to be passing over the summit
daily, as compared with a daily av-

The state highway commission
takes pride in keeping the road open
to the California line, three miles
south Of the Siskiyou summit. Ex-
cept for OCCASIONAL bad storms in CAL
ifornia in the vicinity of Dunsmuir,
the road to southern points is open
at all times of the year. According
to highway officials and local hotel
men, this year has seen tourist ira
vel take a long jump forward as
gauged by the number Of auto par
ties passing through Ashland.
B. F. Leach, proprietor of the Ho-
tel Ashland, states that an average
of three to six touring parties stop
at the hotel every night. Practic-
ally all the parties are southbound.
The average daily registration at the
hotel Is thirty guests.

BLANKET REPRESENT STRANGE
TRIBAL LEGEND

From the Najavo country, embrac-
ing the adjoining corners of Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico,
there has recently been struggled
one of the rarest patterns of Indian
blankets that has been permitted to
fall into the hands of white men.
The pattern, described and illustrat-
ed in the August Popular Mechanics
Magazine, is known as the "Yebitsai
dancers" and involves a tribal trad
ition about which the Navaioes are
decidedly uncommunicative. The
wor d"smuggled" is used advisedly,
for the blanket was removed with ex-
IRENE secrecy, inasmuch as knowled-
ge by the Indians Of it's removal prob
ably would have resulted in unpleas-
antness, to say the least.
Collectors of Indian curious who
have inspected the blanket assert
that they have never seen another
OF the same pattern, although it has
been understood that one of SINH
lar type was obtained some years ago
and sent to the Smithsonian Insti-
tute.

out near Sardis.
The Sunday School was on a picnic
at Powers Ferry, down on the river,

large rock close to the bluff, when
part of the rock crumbled causing
HIM to lose his balance. He fell
about Is feet, sustaining a broken
arm and a few minor bruises on the
body. He was rushed to DR.. Elders
Office where he was given medical at
tention.
