The arrival of four special trains
of Elks in Ashland yesterday herald
ed the approach of the big conven
tion that convenes in Portland this
week. The specials came from Sac
ramento, San i rancisco, the Orange
Belt and Alameda county. With the
exception of the Sacramento train,
each stopped here thirty minutes,
and thirty automobiles were on hand
at the depot to see that the visitors
received a thorough view of this city
and its surroundings. The Sacra
mento train was the first to arrive
and remained in the city the longest,
arriving at 4 and departing at 9.
The Sacramento Elks were enter
tained at the spacious lodge rooms
here and were given a luncheon at
6 o'clock. All the visitors were loud
in their praise of the enterprise man
ifest on every handa nd especially of
the magnificent Elks building. The
New Orleans train arrives this even-
: ing and the visitors will be royally
entertained by the local fraternity.
A large delegation lef last evening
for Portland to attend the conven
tion and others are leaving today.
So bountifully has nature pre
pared for the record fruit crop of the
Rogue river valley that the wail of
the growers for more fruit thinners
rises early and late. Valley orchard

.. A number of cinnabar claims have
been staked out in the Crooked creek
section. An assay of the quartz
shows it to contain considerable gold.
Several specimens have ben sent for

Study of Economics, Litera
ture and Others.
Interest in the various classes of
this season's Chautauqua has been;
greater than usual, every department
reporting large attendance. Profes
sor Laviniore states that he has a
larger class than he has ever had
and the interest is at a high pitch
every day. Boys and girls are work
ing hard for the circus that is tne
crowning feature of the assembly so
far as they are concerned, and if the
spirit with which they have entered.
into the games and exercises means
anything, the-circus will be about the
biggest event of the year. Every j ,
nour oi every day is occupied witn
some form of athletic endeavor and
the boys and girls are in love with
aV.--wi ..it. " . u l mill lUh !'- i
ties in the natatoriums are among 1 4,
tne attractive reatures of this work.
Dr. Wilkinson is receiving wonder
ful encouragement in his Bible worx.
The hour has been changed from the
morning to 1:15 in order to avoid
conflicts. Every day's work has elic
ited greater interest. Dr. Wilkinson
handling the subject in a masterful
manner. The book of Isaiah has
been the subject of consideration.
in the economics department, un
der the guidance of Professor Gil
bert, labor, railroad and industrial
problems have occupied the atten
tion of the class, which has grown
daily. Those who have attended tne
discussions have come away with a
uroa.ler conception of the great prob
lems confronting our nation today,
the meetings proving of great inter
est and of greater profit.
The W. C. T. U. has considered im
portant subjects dally, including the
coming national convention, "Why
am I a White Ribboner?" Good Lit
erature. Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh,
state president of the orianization,
has been present and has added
much interest to the meetings. She
will remain throughout the session.
Tuesday of this week is W. C. T.
U. day at Chautauqua. The lecture
of the afternoon in the auditorium
will be given by Mrs. Florence Ewell
Atkins of Nashville, Tenn., one of the
most popular Chautauquqa speakers
in the country. The subject of her
address will be ' The Twentieth Cen
tury Woman and Reform." She will
also speak at the round table follow
ing the afternoon program, at which
time initiative measure No. 1 will be
discussed. Those who oppose this
measure are urged to bring their
questions.
Mrs. Atkins will also be present
and take part in the morning pro
gram at 10 o'clock. At this hour in
the grove daily meetings are held by
the W. C. T. U. The topic Tuesday
will be "The Modern Woman."
Those who think the present day
woman or the present day girl is not
equal in all particulars to those of
the paBt generation will do well to
come and hear her. , v
Topics of live interest will be pre
sented each day, that on Weunesday
morning being "Equal Suffrage."
Thutsday a "mothers' meetini" will
be held, and Friday the topic dis
cussed will be "Tne White Slave
Trade." The awful increase in this
modern and awful traffic makes this
topic one of unusual interest.
The meetings the past week have
been full of interest, as W. C. T. U.
meetings always are.
The mission tent has had all the
Quests it could accommodate every
afternoon of the session. Much in
terest in the pictures and literature
has been manifest and those in
charge of this tent are highly grati
fied with the results being attained.
The different societies of the city are
in charge.
Round lable, which meets every
afternoon, is proving very profitable.
Every day topics under the efficient
guidance of Professor Briscoe are be
ing discussed. Today Professor Lar
iniore is leading and the subject pre
sented is physical culture. Tomor
row Mrs. Unruh will lead in the dis
cussion of woman suffrage. On
Wednesday Rev. Robert McLain of
Grants Pass will present socialism
from the Bible standpoint. Thurs
day Professor Gilbert will deal with
an economic subject, and Friday will
l)e devoted to the parent-teacher
movement. These meetings are free
to all and open discussion is earnest
ly desired.
Professor Berchtold continues to
interest literature enthusiasts, a
large number of whom meet with
aim dally for consideration of some
of the masterpieces of English and
American Jiterature.
Sunday services were of a hign or

both services. In the afternoon. Miss
