XXXVII ASHLAND, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1912 NUMBER D 2 FALLEN HEROES ARE HONORED GRAVES OF EIGHTY COMRADES DECKED ANEW. FiTTING EXERCISES MARK DAY Prof. Ilrisfim Delivers Stirring Ad dress in Honor of the Boys in Blue Excclent Music a Feature of the Services. As if in hearty endorsement -of the self-sacrifice and past achievements of the old soldiers, both dead and Jiving, Memorial day was one of bright sunshine, heaven smiling down u iion the living members of the Grand Army of the Republic as they decked the graves of their fallen comrades, four score in number. Since the last march, the number has materially decreased, some of the boys who walked steadily upright last year being now numbered with those whose graves received the lov ing ministrations of those who re main. The line of march in the morning started from the Plaza and proceeded to Ashland cemetery, where the rit ual exercises of the G. a. R. were conducted by Post Commander Mat tingley. Mrs. Mattingley, president of the W. R. C, read the W. R. C. service. The ceremonies were im pressive and brought many a lump into the throat. Loving hands dropped flowers and placed colors upon the graves of the heroes, the old soldiers. Relief Corps, national guard and school children participat ing in the services. From the cemetery the line pro ceeded slowly to the Chautauqua building for the exercises of the day. Here a large crowd was gathered, about 1,000 people having come out to hear the words of praise for the country's defenders. Prof. Isaac's well-trained chorus, of thirty voices rendered several appropriate num bers, "True to the Flag" being given by the choir and "Suwanee River" by six little girls and chorus. The latter of these numbers was especial ly enjoyed, the girls singing the stan za and the choir and congregation joining in heartily on the chorus. A mixed quartet sang "Brave Heart, Sleep On," with pleasing effect. Mrs. Perozzi delighted the audience with her reading and . Comrade Hicks stirred the hearts of all with his rec itation of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Prof. George A. Briscoe, as orator of the day, spoke on the cost of peace, giving convincing facts and statistics to show the great advan tage of the peace policy over the war policy. The old soldiers and the. large audience were charmed by 'the patriotic, utterances of Prof. Briscoe, who held them stea.lily from first to last. Prof. Briscoe spoke of the enormous sacrifice entailed in the wars of the past, in other nations as well as our own, pointing with pride to the spirit that prompted the boys of '61 to take up the cause of their country, and praising the fortitude of the women who stayed at home waiting in anxiety for the news of loved ones who often did not return. The speaker touched many a respon sive chord during his address, the full text of which is printed upon an other page. The exercises were fit tingly closed with the singing of "America" by the chorus and audi ence, the thousand voices joining heartily in the national song. Beautiful in its simplicity and as impressive as it was beautiful was the marine service of the Relief Corps, which was held directly after the exercises in Chautauqua build ing. With beautiful roses the ladies of the Relief Corps honored the memory of "those who go down at sea," and as the flowers were borne down Ashland creek the service was completed in a tribute to the un known dead. The basket dinner in the G. A. R. hall at noon was attended by 150, who matched stories of the past and indulged in reminiscences as if the events of the '60s were only yester day. The afternoon was given over to decoration of the graves in Harga- dine and Mountain View cemeteries, the old soldiers going informally to these places and paying their tribute of love and respect to the dead. Members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. are loud in expressions of grat itude for the kindnesses and favors bestowed by all who participated, the Ashland band, Prof. Isaac and his splendid chorus. Prof. Briscoe for his stirring address, Mrs. Perozzi, and all other citizens who lent their efforts to make the celebration of tne national day a success. The old sol diers were well pleased with the ser vices rendered, as were all those who attended. (The address of Prof. Briscoe Is in type but is crowded out of this Issue on account of lack of space. It will appear in Thursday's issue. 1 Eagles Take Not ice. Rogue River Aerie No. 1277 will on next Thursday (June C) teach some fledgelings the use of wings. Your presence is expected.

EXPEDITION' MAKES PROGRESS Parker-Browne Purty Ascending Mt. McKinley by IJoyd Route. Fairbanks, Alaska. William R. Taylor who was with Thomas Lloyd when he climbed Mt. McKinley from the Fairbanks side in the spring of 1910, is here from his claim at Kan tisbna, with news that the Mt. Mc Kinley expedition headed by Profes sor Herschel Parker, of Columbia University, and Belmore Brown of Tacoma was making good progress in the attempt to scale the great Alaska peak. Taylor said the Parker-Brown par ty, consisting cf four men and two dog teams, reached McKinley river Anril 1K. and planned to follow the Lloyd route up the mountain, via Fuldrow glacier. Taylor believes they have a good chance to succeed, as there is little snow, and the ex perience of -the Lloyd expedition shows that this is the right time of the year. Professor Parker visited the Kan tishna miners on a foraging expedi tion, and said thta the members of his party were in good health. He said a straight diet of pemmiean was tiresome, and he visited the miners to obtain some provisions. He was confident that he would reach the top of the mountain. It is probable that the party will come out by way of Fairbanks and take a steamer for the outside early next month. The Parker-Browne expedition left Seward early in Feb ruary and spent much time working around to the north side of the moun tain. Have your garments cleaned and pressed for the Rose Carnival.

AIRSHIP RUNS AMUCK One Man Killed and Several Injured in Seattle When Machine Dashes Into Crowd. Seattle, Wash. George Quimby, a civil engineer, was killed and a score of spectators injured Friday after noon at the Meadows when Aviator I Clifford Turpin, striving to avoid an amateur photographer crossing, the ftu-e .tifick. dashed full tilt into the crowd 'before the grandstand. The left aileron, or rudder wing, of the aeroplane struck an Hron pipe in front of the judges' stand at the edge of the race track, Turpin hav ing tilted the machine to escape cut ting the foolhardy photographer in two. In the twinkling of an eye the i machine swung to the left, pivoting i on the iron pile, and crashed full j into the great crowd massed in front 1 of the grandstand, j Quinby was standing near the judges' stand, where the machine ' first struck. As the wrecked wing j tore loose from the iron pipe the whirling propeller struck him with i such terrific force that he was hurled ; back some ten feet against the j grandstand. Many saved their lives the moment the machine struck by throwing themselves flat on the ground, escaping the moving planes. With the sound of shivering tim bers and snapping steel, the machine brought up with a crash against the front row of boxes in the grand stand, falling directly into the scrambling mass of humanity be neath it. BA Y IS RECORD ONE. North Dakotan Puys $1 1,200 for Or chard Without First Seeing It. I &o impressed was Lir. t;. h. Kisnei oi niayvnie, a. u., witn tne pam phlets sent out disclosing the beau ties and advantages of the Rogue river valley that he secured 28 acres of land in the Griffin creek district from John A. Honey, for $11,200, or $400 an acre, without leaving his home town. As far as known this is the first time that a man has purchased a ranch in this valley without at least looking it over. The property is planted to pears, peaches and alfalfa and has a beautiful view of Mt. Pitt in the valley. Rishel was unable to leave Dakota at this time and when he came into communication with I Mr. Honey had previously been so favorably impressed with what he had heard and read of the valley that he made the offer of $11,200 and it was promptly accepted. Minstrels Make Good. J. M. Busby's Minstrels played to a crowded tent last night. They were by far the finest minstrel troupe that ever visited our city un der canvas. Anyone who likes min strel shows could not help but be pleased at their singing and danc ing, which was greeted with round after round of applause. The show is new, clean and up to date, replete with new songs, and certainly de served the excellent patronage which it received. Alva Dally News. Ashland, Monday, June 10. Income $140 a Minute.

Released Ranker Has Wealth as Well as Health. New York. Charles W. Morse, far from having been made a pauper while he was in a federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., has returned to find that his business was so well admin istered in his absence that he is worth a million. Wall street is al ready looking forward to the shaking up of dry bones that will follow the ex-banker's new advent into the financial world. For Morse before this has made a promise that he will have revenge on his enemies. In the course of his second visit to Wall street Morse visited the of fices of the Assets Realization Com pany, at 25 Broad street. It was here that he met the newspaper men and said: "I have no plans for the future. Indeed, I would not tell what they were if I had." The former inmate of the Atlanta penitentiary, released because the doctors said he was dying, appeared to be in such robust health that someone ventured: "How do you feel, Mr. Morse?" "Fine, fine. I'm fine," was the genial answer. Morse also visited Arthur Braun, his former secretary. Braun now has an office on the fourth floor of 43 Exchange place.

The United States army transport Buford, sent from San Diego on May 10 to the relief of foreigners along the west Mexican coast, arrived here Friday afternoon from Topolobampo and other Mexi can ports and San Diego, en route, to San Francisco, having on board 324 refugees, 41 having left the trans port at San Diego. At this port 159 refugees disem barked, coming from Topolobampo, Altata, Mazatlan, San Bias. Manza nillo. Salina Cruz and interior points. Of this number, 91 were nun, 3ti women and 32 children. None of the passengers was entire- ly destitute, but some- of them had left everything of value behind. They were met upon arrival bv rep resentatives of the Associated Chari ties, the Y. M. C. A. and V. W. C. A. and Rev. Mr. F.razee of the Nazarene church. The minister took charge of 27 missionaries returning from various points. One of the refugees commented upon the situation as follows: "The federal government, is un able to cope with the situation. Bands of brigands numbering from 20 to several hundred men wander at will through the country destroy ing property and looting ram lies aiid towns. Culiacan was cleaned out only a short time ago. "While Americans are treated with respect and consideration, the condi tions relative to the lowest classes of natives are horrible. Scores of native men have been ruthlessly murdered and the women and young girls mistreated. Ninety per cent of the towns attacked by the bands have been taken. Everything is in an uproar and the state of Sinaloa is in the worst condition of any state in the republic."

PEIL BARELY ESCAPES DAMAGE. DELIVERY VAGON IS DEMOLISHED oi-m'k Run Down Baism Crash Into Light pijo S:i-ief Animals Ijimsm On the Jell. Street and on (i-anito Bat Still No little excitement, was caused on Bauni and Granite streets last Friday evening about. 5 o'clock, when a teatii of horses driven by Harold Barney on the local gn.rery dt livery'syst 'in ran ivvny and crashed into' a" light: on Cr,:nite si, cel. The team had been left nt the corner of Church and Almond while the diht r was de livering goods to near-by houses. An inviting whisp of grass furnished tlm original inducement. Once started, the team saw liaimi street stretching; out in front and the memory of for mer escapades of the kind put the thought into action. They tore down Batini street, to Granite, headed straight Tor the residence of E. Pell, and in attempting to round the cor ner crashed into a light pole about a foot in diameter, breaking it off at the base, wheie it was considerably decayed. The pole fell upon the backs of the horses and it was feared for a time that one of them was lu jured. Both were on the job on Saturday, however, and seem none the worse for their encounter. The wagon was badly demolished, while groceries strewed the wake of the flying animals for two blocks. Mr. Pell's beautiful residence was saved from damage by the intervention of the kindly pole, the team being head ed directly for the large plate glass window in the front. With the breaking of the pole, high power wires were severed and there was considerable jumping about in tnat vicinity for a few mo ments to avoid electrocution. The horses were extricated, however, without injury to anyone from the current. SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY. New Time Schedule, Taking; Effect June , 11)12.
