ASHLAND. Or., Oct. 16. (Special.)
Spirit of the new Oregon, -was. the
characterization C. C. Chapman grave
today to the sentiment that pervaded
talks of Ashland business men in
greeting the delegation of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce on the
southern Oregon trade excursion.
There is no longer sectionalism, if one
may judge by the utterances of offi
cial and civic representatives of the
communities. Fifty business men of
the climatic capital of Oregon, as
Postmaster Kiser describes his home
city, were guests of the Portland
Chamber at the noon luncheon.
Mayor C. B. Lamkin portrayed with
broad vision the resources of Jackson
and Klamath counties tributary to
Ashland, gave information as to the
payrolls, fruit pack, mills, dairying,
livestock, also referring to the proj
ect for drilling a deep well in the
vicinity to test the possibility of val
uable deposits of oil, gas, coal or
other mineral wealth. Latent riches
In fertility of soil, deposits of gran
ite and other building materials and
the timbered slopes of the Siskiyous
on one side and Cascades to the east
were called to attention and with deep
earnestness advocated the purpose of
Portland to play a part in transpor
tation and commercial advancement
of the whole of this section of the
Late.
Banquet Well Attended.
The banquet tetidered by the Ash
land commercial club was served In
the Elks' building, which was made
general headquarters for the occa
sion throughout the day. Leonard
Pettitt, violinist, and Mrs. R. G. Card
well, soprano, entertained with music.
Speakers were V. O. N. Smith, cashier
Citizens" bank; William Briggs, rep
resenting bar association; Irving Vin
ing, Chautauqua lecturer; L. F. Fer
guson, merchant, and Bert R. Greer,
president of the commercial club, pre
siding. Of the Portland delegation
A. H. Devers, Edward Boyce, Harry
P. Huntington. Nelson Pike and W. H.
' Beharrell spoke.
Twenty-five automobiles were in
waiting for the arrival of the party
this morning. A tour of beautiful
Lithia park was made and scenic high
ways to heights overlooking city and
orchards were driven over, with a
stop for a brief ceremony that was
staged on the steps of the main build
ing of the old Ashland normal school.
Here the patriarch of the institu
tion that for 29 years trained teach
ers for school work of the state, im
personated by Ed. T. Staples, in the
habiliments of the cloth and adorned
with long hair and whiskers, con
ducted a ceremonial service for the
school which stopped just short
of a burial rite, suspended in
the hope that resuscitation might
come through the good grace of the
great chiefs of the Multnomah tribe.
It was a ceremonial that categorically
conveyed the Ashland aspect of the
abandonment of the school by the
people of the state.
C. C. Chapman called to the atten
tion of the Ashland men that under
the Oregon system there are no great
chiefs who dictate matters of state
affairs and that Portland at the last
opportunity presented gave a ma
jority for the normal, but that it was
defeated by outstate counties. Mr.
Chapman assured Ashland that the
information given to the delegation
was of the nature that it had been
hoped to gain by the trip.
Merchants Are Visited.
The afternoon was given up to get
ting acquainted with business men in
their stores, offices and plants, with
trips to orchards and vineyards of the
valleys. In compliment to the visi
tors, the banquet was followed with a
dance at which the social leaders of
the city were in attendance. Festivi
ties continued to the early morning
hours, the train being scheduled to
leave for Grants Pass at 6 A. M. to
day. Ashland invites the co-operation
and financial help of Portland in the
construction of a great tourist hotel
that will care for the throngs of tour
ists who are coming over the Pacific
highway, loitering to visit Crater
lake, camping spots of the Cascades
and the marble caves of Josephine,
basking in sunshine of the Rogue
river valley and drinking of the lithia
fountain of youth; in promoting fur
therance of the road programme and
helpfulness, in promoting national
publicity for the district, all of which
was promised.

EX-SOLDIER FUND HEEDED
HOW EDTJCATIOXAL DEFICIT
"WILL BE MET, IS ISSUE.
Applications Already . Call for Ex
penditure of $130,000 More
Than Provided.
SALEM, Or., Oct, 16. (Special.)
Whether special provision will be
made to pay the deficit between the
$200,000 provided annually for edu
cational aid for soldiers, sailors and
marines, by act of the 1919 legisla
ture and the $330,000 required by ap
plications now on file or whether
the claims, after the $200,000 fund is
exhausted will be paid from the fund
provided as it becomes available from
year to year in the order of .helr
presentation, is a matter yet to be
determined, according to Deputy Sec
retary of State Sam A. Kozer.
Under the act, which prescribes a
two-tenths mill levy on assessed val
uation of the etate, a fund of sub
stantially $200,000 is created, and this
amount is sufficient to -care for 1000
students on the basis of $25 a month
and not exceeding $200 in any one
year as the law provides. To date,
however, there have been received by
Mr. Kozer, 1650 applications for aid,
practically all of which ask for the
maximum allowed by the law. The
amount thus requested totals $330,000
yearly.
It is thought probable that the
emergency board may be called upon
to devise a method of caring for the
deficit when necessary but go far no
action has been taken.

Elderly Lover Takes Poison, Un
known to Captors Physician
Believes He Will Recover.
HOQUIAM, Wash., Oct. " 16. (Spe
cial.) Charles Collins, 60, of Aloha,
Insanely jealous of attentions paid by
other, mill employes to the woman he
hoped to marry, this morning fired
seven shots from a pistol at Mrs.
Gussie O'Brien, a waitress at the
boarding house of the Aloha Lumber
company.
The fifth shot was the only one
which struck Mrs. O'Brien, passing
through one of her hands. The sixth
or seventh, fired while the two were
struggling in a small bedroom,
pierced Collins' left hand. After Col
lins had been disarmed by other em
ployes of the mill, he drank carbolic
acid, unknown to his captors. The
poison was vomited up a little later
while the couple were being conveyed
to the Hoqulam hospital for sur
gical attention.
The attending physician believes
Collins will recover.
The woman is about 60 years of
age.

PARK MEMORIAL IS URGED
Eugene Blen Propose Improvement
of Spencer's Butte.
KL'GKNE. Or., Oct. 16. (Special.)
Creation of a park on the summit
of Spencer's Butte, a mountain 2000
feet high, six miles south of Eugene,
to be reached by a scenic road, is sug
gested by a number of Eugene men
as a suitable memorial for Lane coun
ty soldiers, sailors and marines who
gave up their lives during the great
w ar.
Varioua memorial proposals have
been suggested, but the Spencer's
Butte park idea seems to have met
with more favor than any of the
others.
Advocates of this project state that
while a suitable driveway to the sum
mit of the butts would cost consider
able money, the advertising which
Eugene would derive from such a
park would be worth the money. A
view of the entire upper valley, sev
eral snow-clad peaks and the Mc
Kenzie and upper Willamette sections
is obtained from this eminence.
