In the Social Realm
DEPARTMENT EDITORS: Miss
A party of Mefoid people arrived
in Ashland Wednesday morning and
have rented a cottage on First ave
nue, overlooking tbe park. They in
tend .to remain in Ashland until
school begins, and have planned to
spend every available minute of their
vacation in the park or up the can
yon. Those in the group are Mrs. P.
D. Scott. Walter, Willis. lone and
Myrtle Scott, Mrs. J. E. Daniels, Ma
bel, Ruth, Agnes and Joe Daniels.
. Wednesday night the large lawn
at the A. E. Kinney home on Granite
street was taken possession of by
a number of old friends and neigh
bors, who came bringing heavily
laden baskets whose contents were
spread on a long table on the lawn.
Those enjoying the occasion were
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wagner and chil
dren, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wagner and
children, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Peil, Mr.
and Mrs. E. V. Carter and guests,
Mrs. Kidd and son of Oakland, Cal.;
Mr. and Mrs. H. Mattern and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Simpson and
children, Mrs. E. H. Wagner, Mr.
and Mrs. Stewart Sanders and chil
dren. Wednesday witnessed a number of
picnics in the park, but ye scribe ar
rived upon the scene too late to se
cure the names of all. One little
family party was composed of Mr.
and Mrs. R. P. Campbell (known to
Chautauquans as "Dick Posey"),
daughters lsolene and Margaret, and
Miss Irene Barrett. Another group
who spent the day in the grove, serv
ing a picnic lunch at noon and an
other at 5 o clock, were gathered in
compliment to Mr. and Mrs.. James
Bovey, daughter Alice and son Char
lie, who are visiting Ashland friends,
and also in commemoration of the
thirty-seventh wedding anniversary
of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Weisenberger.
The members of the party were Mr.
and Mrs. James Bovey, Alice and
Charlie Bovey of Sacramento, Cal.;
Mrs. Bryant and daughters Helen
and Anna, Mrs. Hathaway, Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Weisenoerger and daugh
ter Mary, Mrs. M. M. Edmunds, Mr.
and Mrs. W. O. Edwards and two
children, Helen and Margaret Hodg
son, John Hodgson and Lester Weis
enberger. About fifteen young people from
Talent came over Wednesday even
ing to attend an egg-fry given in
their honor by the young people of
the Christian church of this city.
The merry crowd journeyed up the
canyon, and after spending some
time in singing, story-telling and
Kames while grouped around the
blazing fire, the crowd returned to
town and took possession of the
Christian church, where the remain
der of the evening was spent. A
bonfire was built on a sandy spot
ItATE PERIOD SHORTENED.
OtloniKta Must Also Pay $." More for
Tickets.
Further steps toward what prob
ably will eventually result in the
abolishment of the low-rate colonist
'season altogether have just been
taken by the' Transcontinental Pas
senger Association which fixes the
rates and dates for this class of busi
ness, has decided that the excursion
rates shall apply for only 15 days
this fall the shortest season ver
fixed for such traftic.
The dates, as announced in private
telegrams to Hill and Harrinian pas
senger officials, will be from Septem
ber 25 to October 10, 'inclusive. In
recent years, both for spring and
fall business, the seasons have ex
tended all tbe way from 30 to 45
and even GO days, while the one-way
fare from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Du
luth, Superior and all Missouri river
common points has been sometimes
$25 and sometimes $30.
This fall the prospective colonist
Sets the worst of it in both rates
and dates, for not only is the season
reduced to the lowest possible limit,
but the minimum rate for tickets will
be advanced to $30.
The present announcement shows
that the railroad lines which have
ew opposed to granting colonist
rates are slowly gaining the upper
liand of the more liberal lines which
have always favored a long season
and the minimum rate of $25. The
opposition to the plan of encourag
ing settlers to take advantage of the
colonist season excursion is due to
the fact that many of the railroads
do not believe it is a desirable busi
ness to go after, that there is no
lMxflt in it, and that a difference
of I or $10 in the rate would not
Veep the eastern or middle western
farmer from coming to the coast if
Tiie really wanted to make his home
oat here.
The short season Is favored be
cause it is held that the prospective
nonieseeker can plan to come during
a 15-day season just as well as In a
4 5-day season, such as existed last
spring, and that the railroads have
plenty of equipment to handle the
rush in any event.

A very pretty wedding was solemn
ized at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
H. F. Pohland, on the Boulevard, on
Monday night, when Miss Olivea
Pohland and Mr. Fred P. Schilling
were united in marriage. 1 Tlfe bridal
party approached a bower of ivy and
roses to the strains of Lohengrin's
Wedding March played by Miss
Norma Minkler. The bride was
gowned in white messaline trimmed
with lace and pearls, and wore the
conventional veil. She carried a
shower bouquet of white roses. The
matron of honor, Mrs. Roy Walker,
wore lavender bordered white voile
and carried lavender sweet peas.
The groom wore the conventional
black. Roy G. Walker acted as best
man. The bride approached the
altar on the arm of her father and
the beautiful and impressive ring
service was read by the Rev. Mr.
Poor of the Methodist church.
The parlors were beautifully deco
rated in roses, ivy and sweet peas.
After the ceremony a dainty lunch
was served by Miss Calla Biegel and
Miss Norma Minkler. The guests
were the near relatives of the bride
and the members of the Alpha Chi
Club, of which the bride was a char
ter member. Miss Mae Beaver caught
the bride's bouquet.

the Frank C. Schilling Wholesale
Produce Company of Green Bay,

WAITE AFTER ROAD.
Offers $50,000 Honus for Line From
Coon Day to Siitherlin.
That an electric line from Suther
lin to Coos bay via the Coos river
route befoie there is any other rail
road in here is the belief and hope
of F. B. Waite of Sutherlin, who is
spending a few weeks on the bay
looking after his extensive interests
here. Mr. Waite is anticipating much
from the electric line project which
Messrs. Doyle and Farren started at
Roseburg some time ago and which,
it is now understood, Messrs. Pierce
and Cox of Boise, builders and oper
ators of the interurban system at the
Idaho state capital, will take over
about August 5.
Mr. Waite says that 60 miles of i
road will connect up the Southern
Pacific at Sutherlin with navigation
on Coos river. There is a good grade
and comparatively easy construction
with the exception of one long tun
nel, something less than a mile, to be
cut through the range. This with
another 50 miles or so of feeders
would bring all the heavy timber in
the region east of Coos bay, the Cala-J
pooia valley and the upper Umpqua
to Coos bay. There is also a rich
dairy, fruit and agricultural section
near Winchester to be tapped.
Mr. Waite has offered a bonus of
$50,000 cash to the road building
from Winchester direct to Coos bay,
and many other large bonuses will
also be offered. It is understood.
Owing to the comparatively easy
construction, it is believed that the
road can be easily built in two years.

A CLEVER STROKE.
Suffrage
Plank in New
Will Draw.
Platform
Chicago. The suffragette element
undeniably win figure prominently
in the coming campaign. TTie pro
gressive leaders think the "votes for
women" plank will prove one of the
best vote getters in the platform.
They assert that the suffragette
movement Is stronger throughout
the country than easterners realize,
and they point out the arty's advo
cacy of suffrage will influence thou
sands of women who will urge hus
bands, sons and fathers to vote the
progressive ticket. -
It Is admitted that the new party
executed a clever stroke in enlisting
the aid of Jane Addams of Hull
House. It is not denied either that
strong pressure has been exerted by
both democrats and republican sup
porters of Hull House to keep the
noted equal suffragist out of the
fight. But the new party leaders de
clare Miss Addams is In the progres
sive party to stay.

ItOSK'BURO SEES COMEDY.
Chinese Family Quarrel Over Funds
on Depot Platform.
Roseburg. Mrs. Quong Hing, wife
of a wealthy Chinese hop grower and
storekeeper of Marion county, and
.their four little children and. Mrs.
Hing's sister started for San Fran
cisco from Salem Wednesday after
noon, but their journey was unex
pectedly interrupted in Roseburg, be
cause they had taken several hun
dred of Mr. Hing's hard-earned dol
lars out of the safe in his store with
out his consent, and Mr. Hing, upon
discovering the loss, had word tele
graphed ahead for the detention of
his spouse.
The climax of this interesting
comedy for the bystanders took
place at the Roseburg depot Friday
morning, after the two women and
the quartet of little Hings had seat
ed themselves in a passenger coach
of southbound train No. 15. They
had come here on Wednesday night's
local, No. 17, with tickets for San
Francisco, and had intended to com
plete their trip on No. 15. The lat
ter train brought from Salem Mr.
Hing in person, and when net con
fronted the surprised women in the
car the fun began.
With Sheriff Quine standing by.
Hing demanded the return or his
money and the children, nothing
more. Mrs. Hing kept her head down
in stubborn silence, but her sister
proved anytthing but quiet and sub
missive. She immediately began to
argue matters with her brother-in-law
in Chinese and for the next five
minutes the passengers and crowd
outside the car were treated to a
deluge of jargon that would have
brought a grin to the face of a mum
my. Finally the women sought j.o
placate the irate husband by hand
ing him back $160 in gold. He
promptly pocketed the coin, but im
mediately insisted on the rest. The
women refused and Hing requested
the sheriff to arrest them, adding
that he would swear out a warrant
at once charging them with theft.
The demeanor of the two women
was reversed wnen Sheriff Quine got
into action. The spunky sister-in-law
stepped off the train quietly,
but Mrs. Hing, aroused from her
sulk, began to screech and fought the
officer when he attempted to get her
out of the car. She continued her
struggles on the depot platform un
til her strength gave out. Instead
of procuring a warrant, the husband
later effected a reconciliation with
the two women and. in the afternoon
the entire party of seven went back
to Salem.
FINDS NEW KERRY.
Corvallis Man Grows Strawberry.
Raspberry on Potato Vine.
The limit has been reached J. A.
Kerr, orchardist and berry grower at
the west end of Monroe street, is now
producing strawberries with a rasp
berry flavor and appearance, and
growing them on potato vines. A
dish full of the fruit in the Gazette
Times window at this time will prove
that this statement is not a matter
of imagination.
The berry in question is what is
known as the "strawberry raspber
ry." It is of the size and general
shape of the strawberry, but is built
like the red raspberry. The flavor is
like neither of them, just as the lo
ganberry does not taste like either
the blackberry or the raspberry. It
is a prolific producer at the Kerr
place, and that experimenter believes
it would be a fine berry for general
growth here, being especially suited
for jams and jellies. Mr. Kerr got
his plants at Beatrice, Neb. They
grow only as high as potato vines,
are very thorny and die to the
ground in the winter time and
spring up anew when the , warm
weather conies again. The plants
bear fruit the year following the
time set out. and propagate from
sprouts like the red raspberry. The
berries produce at a tremendous rate,
are solid, firm and fair to look upon.
The only objection would be the lank
of distinctive flavor and acid. The
fruit appears to be too mild, but Mr.
Kerr vouches for it that familiarity
with the berry has made it a favorite
with several who cared little for it
at first. It is truly attractive in ap
pearance, and would prove a valu
able addition to our small fruit
plantings If It should meet with gen
eral favor. Corvallis Times.
RATTLER IN CELLAR.
Buzz of Snake Warns Hood River
Man of Its Presence.
Hood River, Ore It is only on
rare occasions that rattlesnakes are
found in the Hood River valley. One
of them invaded the basement of the
home of F. E. McCrea in the Oak
Grove district, recently, and when
Fred McCrea was searching in the
darkness for some cans of fruit he
heard the angry buzz of the snake's
rattles within six inches of his hand.
He hastened for his rifle and. while
other members of the family held
candles, he shot off the snake's head,
as it was crawling over a bag of sugar
into a hole in the wall. The snake
had six rattles.

Other problems, such as "What is

laid aside -for research into the
causes of the little winding tunnels
that penetrate a Swiss cheese.
The holes in cheese, say men of
science, are dollars and cents to the
merchant, for they indicate a grade

how they may be encouraged.
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydro

chemistry have to do with making
the holes, and the professors with
retorts and blow pipes hope to find
