ASHLAND MAN IS HELD
IN JAIL AT PORTLAND

Word was received in this city
late last night of the arrest in Port
land of G. M. Cooper, who is wanted
in this city on the charge of writing
a check with no funds in the bank.
Mr.. Cooper sold his place here a
few weeks ago and left for the north,
but not before he had made pur-
chase from the Eastern Supply COM
pany, giving in payment check on
the First National bank. When the
check was presented for payment,
the funds which had been in the
bank were withdrawn, and the bank
refused payment. Chief of Police
Hatcher was notified and cards were
sent out over the country, notifying
the police at different cities that
Cooper was wanted, and the arrest
last night was the result.
Chief Hatcher wired the Portland
officials this morning to hold the
man until he arrived, and he expects
to leave for that city today to bring
him back to answer the charge.

TOURIST SEASON NOW
CLOSED AT CRATER LAKE

Despite the fact that the season at
Crater Lake has closed officially,
cars still continue to make their ap-
pearance at the resort, and people
gaze with pleasure at the beautiful
scene, which, according to those
familiar with the lake at all sea-
sons, is at the height of beauty dur
ing the month of October, when the
atmosphere has cleared and no
smoke is on the horizon to obstruct
the view.
Attendance at the lake the past
season was considerably larger than
ever before, according to official
figures which have been compiled.
Cars to the number of 5691 entered
the park this year, as compared with
4915 last season, while 1876 peo-
pie have viewed this wonderful body
of water in 1922. as compared with
1906 In 1921. 81
The roads to the lake are reported
to be in fine condition, as the rains
have served to level rough places
and lay the dust, making the high
way as good or better than any time
during the summer.

AMERICAN LEGION SETS
ZERO HOUR IN DRIVE FOR
WINTER LYCEUM COURSE

With the zero hour set at o'clock
Thursday morning, and the support
of the Ladies' Auxiliary assured, the
Ashland post of the American LIE.
gion will go over the top in drive
that will carry its representatives to
every house in the city in a whirl-
wind campaign planned to put across
the Midland Lyceum attractions for
the coming season.
Committees from both the Legion
and the Auxiliary met last night to
complete plans and work out the
final details for the drive. Team
captains were appointed, and the
city divided into districts, the cap
tains being held responsible for
personal interview with each house
hold in their sector.
"The lyceum course last year was
excellent and Of nature only found
in the larger cities" Is the word
given out by the Rev. w. Judson
Oldfield. "The course this year,
judging from what I have seen and
heard from the advance copy, will
greatly exceed the talent of the 9th
er attractions.
In its endeavor to place the com
ing attractions within the reach Of
everyone In Ashland, the Legion has
set a very low price upon the season
tickets, feeling II to be better to
have more people present to enjoy
the numbers than to charge a higher
price and have fewer attend the
course.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

FOR ASHLAND'S FUTURE

Suggestions and discussion on
various propositions presented occu-
pied an open meeting of the cham

work of the organization for the
coming months, was also prepared.
"The enlargement and safeguard

reply made by c. F. Koehler in an
swer to the query, what, in your
opinion, is the most important mat
ter for the chamber of commerce to
devote its efforts toward accomplish
ing?" He was on hand to defend
his proposition.
"The one great and vital interest
for Ashland and the chamber Of
commerce, as l view it, is to pro-
mote the signing up of 400 acres in
the Belleview district with the Tai
ent irrigation district, without
which the city cannot get the 400
acres it wishes to sign for, provided
the engineers survey and other con-

garding the query. Mr.. Pierce was

Clyde Young, representing First

matter for the chamber Of commerce
to enter into some plan for develop

importance to Ashland Of maintain

MAJOR MORGAN GIVES
FINE TALK TO G. OF G

The address given by Major Nor
gan to the chamber of commerce
last night was one of the best in a
long time. The subject was "Citi-
zenship," and the principal points
were: First, that our government
is founded on majority rule; that
when the majority speaks, obedience
to laws and authority must follow;
that some consider themselves SUI
perior to law-here the speaker re-
ferred to disregard of speed laws,
and the fact that every 80 minutes
in this land some fatal accident oc-
ours as a result of such disregard.
We are the greatest law-breakers
in the world today. Disregard Of
prohibitory laws, and other instanc-
ces, were alluded to. Second, parti-
sanship leads us to speak unjustly
and unfairly many times Of our pub
lie Officials, because they are not
our choice. We do not support them
and we say mean things about them
many times when they are doing
their best. This is a very bad ex-
ample. particularly for the hordes
of foreigners who are pouring into
the country to observe, and does not
tend to make them law abiding citi-
zens.
Third, failure of citizens to back
up and support officers of the law
in performance of their duty, fire.
quently tends to throw them under
the influence of those whose desire
is to subvert and hinder the rightful
working of the laws.
A man or woman who disregards
his political obligation, who refuses
to serve on a jury, is as much a
Stacker as a man who will not re-
spond to his country for military
service. The speaker made many
strong statements, but convincingly
maintained all his points.

CAR TURNS TURTLE
ON THE WET PAVEMENT

A car bearing a Nevada license
turned over on the highway abou
two miles north of Ashland last ev
ening about $3.50 o'clock. Fortu

the car were injured.
The car was travelling towards
Medford and apparently was goinl
too fast to make the slight turn a.

The car escaped with only few
scratches, the windshield even re

The 9:30 interurban bus out oi

and took him to Medford, thinking
he was injured, but it was found
that he was suffering from intoxica-

FIREPLACE BURNS FLOOR
OF ERICKSON RESIDENCE

The fire department made a run
to the home of Steve Erickson, at
the corner of Iowa and Morton
streets at about 2 o'clock this morn
ing, in answer to hurried telephone
call from the Erickson home, stating
that the house was on fire.
On arriving at the house, the fire
men found the basement filled with
smoke, but hardly any of the smoke
had penetrated to the rooms above.
Investigation showed the fire had
been caused by hearth laid on the
floor of a room the bricks becoming
hot enough to start the wood floor
beneath to burning.
The firemen put out what fire
could be reached from the basement
and were then compelled to cut a
hole through the hearth to make
sure that no fire remained. The
fire damage was practically nothing
but considerable work will be neces-
sary to repair the damage done by
the firemen in getting to the fire.
Contractor A. L. Lamb, who built
the house, has agreed to repair the
damage and see that the fireplace is
put in condition that a fire of this
kind cannot occur again.
