PROSPECT HUD BIG CELEBRATION Great Game of Ball Is Played at Lit tle Village In the Timber Sports of Various Kinds Furnish Amuse ment For All. TO DISTRIBUTE FROM MEDORD Tito Electric, hnselmll town left Medford for Prospect nt 4:20 p. m., July 3, for n game with the. Prospoct Construction company's tonm nt that plnce. In tliu party wore: Mr. ntitl Mr. It. K. Ebel, Mr. and Mrs. Dillon. Mr. and Mrs. Whiting, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Hiiffum, Mr. nnd Mrs. Thotn, and Messrs. Hcnstrom, Childers nnd Evans. The trip to Prospect was made in two three-seated rigs and occupied part of the two days, the party stop ping for the night nt Trail, and com plcting the journey on the morning of the Fourth, arriving at Prospect about 12:30 p. in. Tho entire party were amply re paid for the long and arduous trip up tho mountains by the warm nnd hearty welcome- received, nnd the first class etnertainment furnished by tho boys at Prospect. They had everything for the amusement nnd comfort of the visitors, n royal good time was enjoyed by every member of the party, nothing being left undone that would add to the pleasure of the visit. Among the sports on tho program for tho Fourth were: A good old ball camp between the Electric team nnd the team from Prospect, a roek drilling contest, which was something new to most of the party, a 100-yard dash or men, a 50-yard dash for the women (which was a corker- three of the women falling down during the course of the 50 yards); a flag- raising and a big dance on an open platform in the evening, lasting into the wee small hours of the night. This hitter event was hugely en jdyed by all hands, ns the mountain evenings are "just lovely" nnd the moonlight was of just the right qual ity for the enjoyment of dreamy waltzes nnd the tripping of the light fantastic toe. In fact all members of the party had an all-around bnng-up good lime. One needn't go to Switzerland to gaze on Scenery take the trip to Prospect it is the best there is the cool mountain nir is a great relbf from the heat of the city, and the Views one can obtain of the scenery en route will long linger in the mem ory of the members of the party. Of course, the feature of the day was the ball game, which attracted a large and eutljusiastic crowd who were good natured and out for a good time. The Prospect boys cleaned up the Medfords by a score, of 10 to 11, whining a deserved victory. Apropus of a mistaken report cir culated in regard to the composition of the Electric team, it might be said that a full team from the Electric office was planned, but at the last moment, only two or three of the team beinn available, it was necessary to get players from outside to fill the vacancies. Every member of the electric team was seen in regard to making the trip, and nil were taken who signified a willingness to go. The rock drillers drilled 33 inches in 15 minutes, William Peterson nnd E. C. Eggor winning. Hurry Smith nnd Mr. Whiting tied in the 100-yard dash, It. R. Ebel coming in next. Mrs. Lusby won the women's race, Mrs. Daly nnd Miss Hannah, getting sec ond and third.

Hut to quote the gentleman, he says: "I began to hear of Medford's cel ebration, the 3d and 4th down in northern California and wondered that there should be so much talk about an ordinary 4th of July cele bration. I came to Ashland July 3, cnlled on my customers only to learn thnt they were nil in Medford. 1 made up my mind that if 1 were go ing to do business 1 should have to go to Medford where everyone else seemed to be and to say that I was astonished ns to what I saw is put ting it mildly. "You have the town, you have the spirit, you have the men, and from what I can learn you have the re sources back of all this and instead of trying to place an' order I shall Commercial Organization Appoints Committee for Extensive Campaign May Ask Governor to Call Spe cial Session.

Osenbruggo and It. W. arrange to make Medford n distrib uting point for southern Oregon for our lubricating oils. , "Perhaps you don't know that we have the largest oil refinery in the United States at West Berkeley. We are in no way connected with either the Stnndnrd or Union Oil companies. lue growing popularity of the gas engine is furnishing nn immense market for lubricating oils ns well as gasoline. The big companies cer tainly have n comer in the product and are handing the people what might be called nn 'unreasonably' shady deal. Within a few months every motorist in the valley will be demanding our oil."
