Refuse Tool Work
When the boys congregated for
their lessons in the vocations they all
refused TO have anything to DO with
tools. They disdained touching any
thing that bore evidence of work.
They refused to use brooms to sweep
out their dormitories They looked at
the chtsel and mallet with repugnant
eyes.
The American teachers met this
puzzling situation in Z practical way
They began using the tools them
selves, freely and naturally, and con-
tinued to dem onstrate the value and
help OF tool to the workers until
finally the passive resistance Of the

BANKER HINES IS
SENTENCED TO
TWO YEARS

In the circuit court this morning
at Jacksonville, r. D. Hines, con-
Victed Of fraudulent bookkeeping in
connection with the wrecking of the
Jacksonville bank, was sentenced to
serve two years in states prison.
Judge Calkins in pronouncing SEN
tence, added the costs of prosecution
but made the reservation of the right
to modify this at latter date, if he
felt that the circumstances warrant
ed such a course.
1t is believed that this reserva-
ton was made in view of the fact
that strenuous efforts are being
made to have Hines admitted to pa
role. Many of those who have been
instrumental in circulating the pc
tition are prominent in business af-
fairs and politics of the county. The
general feeling in the community
appears to be that to very large
extent, Hines was made the "goat"
and did not benefit financially in the
wreck of the bank.

POLICE ON TRAIL OF
BERT MOSES STOLEN FURS

Chief of Police Hatcher has got
ten on the trail of he expensive fur
coats which were olen from The
home of Bert Noses about a month
ago, through q letter received from
Chief of Police O'Brien Of San Fran
cisco, in which he announced that
James L. IIonan, already sentenced
for burglary in that city, HAD been
found in possession ~ handsome
squirrel fur coat, valued at $500,
and that the same would be restored
to the owner upon proper Identified
tion. A description of the stolen
property was forwarded and Mr..
Moses will be able to recover the
coat before he goes on his trim east.
Yesterday morning Chief Hatcher
received the following telegram from
Chief O'Brien:
"A fur coat stolen by HOran
brothers can be found al their mo'h-
er's home, 63 Gresham street, your
city, in a bundle with other clothes
which was to he sent here. (Signod)

Fourth July
Plans Are
Discussed

The second meeting to consider
the question of a Fourth of July
celebration was held at the city hall
last night A representative mum
ber of citizens were present, and
there was general discussion Of
the subject, nearly every one eX-
pressing himself as to the desirable
ity of continuing the celebration and
whether it should he undertaken in
a moderate or more pretentious
manner. Some thought It might be
better If no attempt were made for
celebration, and some other town
in the valley given the opportunity
to nut on the "big show" This was
not the prevailing opinion, however,
for when a show Of hands was called
for, the vote was unanimous for
Ashland to celebrate, and the Opin-
ION expressed that It should be rec
ognized as an annual Ashland event.
The question Of financing the
proposition and the amount of mon
ey required 10 do so was carefully
considered, and 1t was shown that
$4,000 is necessary to make good
celebration. IL was recommended
that the committee ask the Cham
ber of Commerce to endeavor to
raise this amount for the purpose.
Rev. C. A. Edwards strongly
urged that a great national orator
be secured as the speaker of the day.
The secretary was advised 10 tele-
graph the Hon. A. ]. Beveridge, of
Indiana, to ascertain If he could be
secured The names of Senator Hi
ram Johnson, Governor Henry Allen
of Kansas, and Others were suggest
ed. It was felt that big parade
should be one of the main attrac-
tions. and that an athletic program,
band concerts, and a bigger than
ever fireworks display should be
aimed at
When it is considered that the es-
innate of the committee calling for
$4,000 for this purpose only means
per capita assessment of 70 cents
or thereabouts for our population,
and that Ashland's Fourth Of I"lv
is becoming a southern Oregon 'n9ti-
tuition, it would seem that ready
response should be given the Cham
ber of Commerce when the canvass
Is made for the annual budget In
which this amount is included,
