EMERY GIRLS RETURN
FROM ALASKAN TRIP

The Misses Nina and Hazel Emery
returned to Ashland last evening af-
ter three weeks vacation trip which
took them to Alaska.
The girls left here in their car,
driving to Seattle in two days. From
that city they embarked on a coast
wise steamer bound for Alaska The
vessel made numerous stops to load
and unload freight at the ports en-
route, giving the passengers suffic-
lent time to see the towns along the
coast.
The most northern town reached
on the trip was Skagway, and desipte
the fact that many alluring things
are said about the wonderful north
land. Miss Hazel says that she was
glad to get back to Ashland.
The land voyage was thoroughly
enjoyed by both, but the ocean trip
was rather rough, and not the most
enjoyable experience.

Jackson County Fair Grounds
Praised By "0regon Farmer"

exhibits the first of August. A basic
prize of $50 is given, for a score of
66, and additional prizes for first
three places. The stock barn Is 75x
rs feet and will hold rs head. Here
convenience seems to be all that
could possibly be secured. Tents
will have to be used this year to
house the overflow and more barns
will be built on regular plan, with
a judging arena within the semi
circle. The grandstand is 124x44.S
feet and is the first unit with pos
sibilities fort extension at either
end. 1t will seat 1000 people. The
auto race track is mile and an
eighth. and was designed by Jack
Prince, who designed the Los An
geles and Tacoma tracks. Inside the
auto track is the horse race track,
one mile long. 1t will not be COM
pleted this year. This year most
of the commercial exhibits will have
to shown in tents, and tent 150x
so will house the auto exhibit.
Use of the county grader and
tractor affected great saving in
getting the grounds ready, and the
tracks built. All material and every
thing used except labor has been
furnished by Medford business men
at cost. A "buy tree" campaign
resulted in the donation of nearly
900 trees, which have been or will
be planted where they will do the
most to beautify the grounds. A fine
spirit has been shown throughout by
Medford business interests. The
same spirit now seems to animate
the farmers, many of whom will ex-
hibit live stock or farm products for
the purpose of helping make the
fair success. Fair dates are Sep
tember 13 to 16.

CALIFORNIAN BUYS
z STOCK RANCHES
KLAMATH COUNTY

KLAMATH FALLS, Sept. RE
cognition of Klamath county as a
stock raising center is seen in the
purchases by Leonard j. Woodruff,
prominent Los Angeles stockman, of
the Henry Gordon ranch of 44O
acres and the Brannon ranch of 100
acres, both located in the Wood
River valley, oar Fort klamath.
The purchase prce is understood to
be approximately $4,000 for both
ranches.
Woodruff, who owns extensive
stock ranches in southern California
plans to use the Wood River valley
ranches for summer range for stock
raised on his California range,
where feed is scarce in summer due
to the dry season. Stock will be
shipped to Klamath county for fat
tening before being marketed.
It was said by those interested
in the transaction that completion
of the deal awaited only examination
of the titles. Woodruff left for the
south yesterday.

Something entirely new in the
laying out of fairgrounds, at least
in the Pacific northwest, has been
attempted and accomplished in the
new Jackson county fair grounds
at Medford, Or, says the Oregon
Farmer. A landscape" plan has
been adopted; and every part of the
ground and every building compose
part of scenic and harmonious
whole.
H. o. Frobach, secretary of the
Medford chamber of commerce, and
of the fair, secured the plans from
an expert at the Oregon Agricultural
college. Jackson county had fair
some years ago, but did not have
grounds. First, then, ample
grounds were procured, the county
and city together purchasing 11S
acres. Plans for the entire grounds,
or at least as much of fit as may be
used for the next few years, were
then adopted and work is now being
rushed with a view to completion
in time for this falls fair. Every
building is thoroughly modern, and
all floors are of concrete, except
that of the stock barn. There it
was deemed better to have natures
flooring. Every building is built on
the unit plan, and can be added to
without marring its beauty.
To the far right is the women's
building, not only well arranged for
exhibiting the art and handiwork Of
women, but with adequate rest
rooms and other arrangements for
comfort and convenience. The main
exhibit building is 109x75 feet 1t
will have SO booths, 12x12, and 12-
foot aisles. Over a dozen commun-
tiles had signed up for Community

though the open season for deer
does not open until today, a number
of hunters left Wednesday for the
distant fields where deer are sup

Deer are pretty close to Redding.
A buck and doe were seen last week

How Was Rruin
Killed? BY Gun
Or BY 0ratory

With the opening of the hunting
season ten days past, stories of bold
and fearless hunters and various
bear" stories are beginning to come
10 light. This, the latest, is credited
10 the klamath Falls Herald.
What the Herald wants to know
is
Did Jud Short shoot the bear or
was 1t talked to death by the Rev.
e. F. Daugherty?
This question was advanced by
the Rev. w. S. Bobbitt, of Wood
land, Calf, who returned recently
from a hunting trip on the headwa-
ters of Cherry creek, together with
Mrs. Bobbitt, the Rev. Daugherty. of
Los Angeles, and J. H. Sims, of Mer-
rill. Short was their guide.

The bear, 1t appears. was brought
to camp by Short, whose story OF
having dubbed it to death, aroused
the suspicious of the Woodland
preacher-suspicions directed against
his Los Angeles contemporary.

Bobbitt, "that Daughertg, few

both ear drums split and the brain
curdled. Recalling my own feelings

brought back from klamath Falls
yesterday by Sheriff Terrill, was ar
raigned in Justice Gowdy's court
during the afternoon, but, owing to

put up the bail set by the court, he
was remanded to jail to await trial.
Childers was a guard at Siskiyou

place, which he failed to pay before
leaving, and upon papers being filed
against him by the boarding house
keeper the sheriff located him at
klamath Falls and went to that
place to get him.
