F. H. Walker Elected Trustee.
' Progress In the securing of schol
arships for the Polytechnic school
was the substance of a report at
Commercial Club meeting last Mon
day evening. Prof. Van Scoy, who
has the matter in charge, stated that
he had 36 pledges 'and others in
prospect to make the number 45. He
was decidedly optimistic as to addi
tional scholarships and expressed the
belief that at least 60 would be se
cured in this city before the outside
campaign is begun. The report elic
ited much favorable comment and
called forth volunteers of financial
support from various members to
send Prof. Van Scoy into the field
to solicit scholars for the school.
"With the impetus the project now
has, the school will undoubtedly suc
ceed. Prof. Van Scoy has had a wide ex
perience In this work, having can
vassed the field of southern Oregon
and northern California many times
in the Interest of the normal school.
He is well acquainted with people all
over this district and will succeed in
his undertakng. The campaign will
be begun by correspondence and will
be taken up Jy Prof. Van Scoy in
person within a few weeks.
A communication was read from
E. T. Staples, president of the South
ern Oregon District Fair Association,
in which it was stated that the Nata
torium had been secured for the hold
ing of exhibits. This spacious build
ing will afford ample room for the
proper display of fruits and vegeta
bles as well as articles of needle
work, all exhibits coming under the
one roof. The report also stated that
the list of fair premiums would be
in the hands of the state printer this
week and would be available shortly.
J. F. Meikle presented his resigna
tion as truustee and the place was
filled by the election of F. H. Walker.
The matter of the celebration of
the Fourth of July came in for lively
consideration and met with universal
approval. G. F. Billings presented
the matter In connection with com
ments on the coming Chautauqua as
sembly, which opens lu Asnland July
2. The session this year is earlier
than usual and extends over the
Fourth. On this account Mr. Bil
lings thought it expedient that a cel
ebration should be considered. The
suggestion was seconded by others
who expressed themselves as highly
favorable to a celebration of the sane
kind. Mr. Freeburg reported having
had the matter up for consideration
with several of the business men, a.,
of whom he found heartily in favor of
it. His plan was for a barbecue up
the canyon as the big main attrac
tion, with other features, such as a
ball game and races during the day
and a carnival at night. Amos Nln
inger spoke enthusiastically in behaif
of a celebration, offering the sugges
tion that the effort would be well re
paid In the amount of money that
would be well repaid in the amount
of money that would be brought into
the city by visitors. H. G. Enders
also gave his views In favor of the
movement and the general opinion
preailed that the celebration is the
thing we want, as a benefit to Chau
tauqua and to business men. The
Chautauqua association has two su
perb musical attractions scheduled
for that day, the Schumann Quintet
appearing both afternoon and eve-
ning. Messrs. Xininger and Free
burg have the matter iu charge and
have called a meeting for Friday
evening in the club rooms, at which
time the matter will receive full con
sideration. Considerable interest was evinced
in the matter of the deplorable con
dition of our streets all over the city.
Mr. Enders, being a progressive
member of the park board and inter
ested in the cleaning up of the city
generally, called the attention of the
club to the fact that weeds are al
lowed to grow in the principal streets
of the city, to the great discredit of
the property holders and our city in
general. The power of the city coun
cil to cope with the situation was
touched upon and their disposition as
well, Mr. Greer expressing the belief
that the statutes of the state and the
ordinances of the city held sufficient
authority for the enforced cleaning
up of park rows and vacant lots as a
protection to those who desire to
keep their property clean. The opin
ion that the council could do this
and should be criticised if it did not
was freely expressed. The Imminence
of Chautauqua was cited as an im
petus for the work to begin.
In further connection with the
coming Chautauqua assembly, the
president volunteered to appoint
committees to see to it that, promi
nent visitors to our assembly this
bummer have an opportunity to see
the beauties and advantages r this
city and surroundings while here.

ELKS AUK ARRESTED.
Young Men Hiking to Convention
Huve Hare Experiences.
Great excitement! The three Elk
hikers, F. S. Lyon, C. D. Stone and
H. F. Clark, members 6f the Brook
field, Mo., lodge, who are walking
from their home to Portland to be
there for the convention next ninth,
have been arrested! The first word
of this thrilling experience was re
ceived from them in a letter from
Pocatello, Idaho, where the jolly
three were entertained by the local
lodge as guests of ex-Governor
Brady. One arrest was made by
deputy United States marshals of
Wyoming as the boys were counting
ties over the Oregon Short Line. .The
charge placed against them was
complicity in a series of postoffice
robberies. When the hikers showed
the credentials of nearly a dozen Elk
ledges 'U route, the arresting of
ficers acted as hots for the Missouri
piis during their slay. A couple of
days before that the boys were ar
rested on suspicion of being mixed
up in a highway robbery.
So far the long-distanca pilgrims
have not been compelled to sleep a
night in the open and have not had
to carry a luncheon with them. They
have covered more than thre-fourths
of the 2. 200-mile walk and are sev
eral days ahead of schedule. Their
plan now is to reach Troutdale, IS
miles east of Portland, on July 1 and
go into camp there for a few days.
The greatest crop of fruit in its
history and one that will bring $13.
000,000 to $15,000,000 to the or
chardists, is promised in the Pacific
northwest this year.
HOLD BRJff SESSION
City Council Gets Through With
Routine Matters Before Curfew
Kings Street Work Discussed.
The regular session of the city
council last Tuesday evening was a
short one, adjournment being taken
before the hour of 9. Routine mat
ters occupied the attention of the
council for the most part, the only
matters of serious moment seeming
to relate to the assessment of street
grading against abutting property
owners and the alleged menace to the
city's water supply in- the recent fil
ing of petition for water out of Ash
land creek by J. B. Hunter. In the
latter case there seemed a division
of opinion as to the true status of
this filing, it being the opinion of the
mayor and Councilman England that
the filing was for surplus water only,
in which opinion, it was stated. At
torney Moore concurred, while Coun
cilman Butler expressed the belief
that the. filing was iu the nature of
a contest of the city's right, which, if
not cotnbatted, would be a serious
menace to the city's interests. The
mayor stated that he would take the
matter up with Attorney Moore at
once to the end that the city's inter
ests be properly protected.
The question of assessment of
grading expense against abutting
property owners was brought up in
the form of a motion by Cunningham
that the present ordinance on the
subject be repealed. Under this or
dinance the property owner bears the
expense of grading, Mr. Cunningham
contending that the city should bear
that expense. The motion came as
the result of a petition on the part
of several citizens that upper Granite
street be graded for some distance up
the canyon, the matter presenting
some problems as to precedent on the
one hand and justice to the abutting
property owners on the other. The
petition was referred to the street
committee but the motion for repeal
of the ordinance was lost, Butler and
Cunningham voting in the minority.
The resignation of Mrs. Meikle as
a member of the park commission
was accepted and the matter of ap
pointment of a successor taken under
advisement by the mayor. A com
munication was read from Martin
brothers relative to the sale to the
city of 4 0 acres of land at the power
house. A four-inch water main was
ordered to be laid on Laurel and Or
ange streets.
Councilman Gowdy presented the
matter of the condition of the city
streets, calling the attention of the
council to the fact that many of the
streets of the city present excellent
pasturage. Mayor Neil stated that
the street commissioner was under
instructions to see to the matter and
was notifying property owners as rap
idly as possible.. The street commit
tee came in for some criticism at the
hands of Councilman Cunningham at
this stage. Mr. Cunningham citing
the condition of Almond and other
streets that had been promised atten
tion and had not received it. Coun
cilman Sanderson, chairman of the
street committee, promised immedi
ate action in the matter and it is
hoped that the opening of Chautau
qua will see the streets of Ashland
free from weeds and ruts.

IDEAL WEATHER
FIRST DAY OF ANNUAL EVENT FILLED WITH DELIGHT PARADES
WITNESSED BY HUNDREDS OF VISITORS-EXHIBIT
LARGE AND MAGNIFICENT
The third annual Rose and Straw
berry Carnival passed its first day of
celebration with splendor and glory.
Tht streets were packed with hun
dreds of local citizens and visitors
from vaiious points down the valley.
Stores and residences presented gala
attire and the whole city turned out
to greet the queen of the
and her retinue of floats.
carnival
The festivities of the day opened
with the carriage, horseback and hi -
cycle parade, which started from the
east side school at. 11 o clock. The:l!"- 1 IH Miisnine Society lloat, with
approach of the queen in her magnif-
icent float of snowy white was her
alded by strains of music from the
Ashland bund, and as the parade ap
proached, crowds rushed to the curbs
and to office windows to greet the
day's supreme ruler. G. S. Butler
and Mrs. W. W. Dann, mounted on
gayly caparisoned steeds, led the line
and behind them came the Ashland
band in spotless white, immediately
followed by the queen's float, an ar
tistic creation of pure white, trimmed
with pink peach blossoms. In the
center, mounted upon her high scat,
sat Miss Kathryn Shook, queen of
the day, surrounded by her attend
ants and with cupids and butterflys
very much in evidence. The throngs
of people that lined the streets greet
ed her with hearty applause as she
passed each place of business, to
which greeting her gracious smile
gave recognition.
The Conway company excited uni
versal comment by the neat and ar
tistic arrangement of their miniature
bungalow, with Its lawn and shrub
bery, its cobblestone pillars and
chimney, and the fine little touch of
real live rabbits hopping about upon
the green. The bungalow presented
a complete dwelling of the modern
style of construction, a most credit
able creation.
From their gas range, the Oregon
Gas & Electric Company distributed
cookies to the crowds cookies baked
by gas. Roses were seen to form the
main feature of anothgr float carry
ing little girls, whose heads formed
the center of the flowers. Mrs. Aus
tie Brown appeared In a gayly deco
rated chariot, drawn by spirited
horses. The Oasis confectionery par
lors on the Boulevard, owned by
Charles Loomis, was fittingly por
trayed by the representation of cam
els resting and feeding in the desert
oasis. The question, "Who wouldn't
be a camel?" added to the Impres
siveness of the float. Moyer & Van
Natta appeared In the act of erecting
a house, this feature being in the na
ture of a burlesque which caused
much merriment among the onlook
ers. Thirty-two horses and riders
formed this part of the parade, mak
ing a gorgeous cavalcade with their
floral decorations and shining draper
ies. The effect of this feature was
a most pleasing one. Eighteen bicy
cles, with wheels Interwoven with
flowers and bunting, completed the
list of mounts.
Fuller's barrel and the long man
created much merriment. The for
mer revealed a man walking in a
barrel, with portions of union suit
visible above and below, a. gentle re
minder that his clothes are being
cleaned at Fuller's tailoring estab
lishment. The long man, towering
twelve feet above the pavement,
made good use of his bugle and voice
to proclaim the worth of the three
rirms of Good & Danford, Fuller's
and Hosier's. This is without doubt
the longest ever seen in Ashland.
The afternoon parade was made
up entirely of automobiles, led by

f Fourth of July Meeting f
Considerable interest is manifest this week in the promised
celebration of the. Fourth of July in Ashland. It is generally con
ceded that this year is Ashland's year to celebrate, partly because
we have not done so for four
taiiqua season extends over the Fourth.. Plans for the celebration
are already maturing and a meeting has been called for tomor
row (Friday) evening, in the Commercial Club rooms, at which
time the- matter will lie thoroughly gone Into.. Promoters of the
celebration say that if sufficient inteivst is manifest there will
lie a sane celebration. The advantages to Ashland at this Mii1icu
lar time cannot lie overestimated.. Thousands of ieop!e from down
the valley would flock to Ashland to ecae the heat of the lower
altitudes.. The canyon Is the most, inviting spot iu the entire val
ley, and a barbecue, such as is suggested would be a big drawing
card.. Chautauqua has two. of the biggest entertainment of the
course scheduled for that day and tliere would lie plenty of time
for other sports. If business houses would offer prizes for the vari
ous contests and a small subscription given by (.a b one intcrcs-

ers in the decorations is commend
able, the purpose of the carnival be
ing to encourage the cultivation of

amusement. A profusion of Ashland
roses of all hues and varieties marked
the decorations all over the city and
especially in the parades.
The advantages of the beautiful

people from down the valley were in

The ball game between the fats
and the leans resulted iu victory for
the portly gentlemen, captained by
Amos Xininger. The skinnys, under
the leadership of L. J. Orres, started
off with a rush and piled up three
scores In the second inning, the first
having resulted in a blank for both
teams. But the fats came back in
their half and hustled In six tallies,
due, Hum Pracht says, to
poor sup -
port given the pitcher. Phillips, the
high school star, was put on the
mound for the leans In the fifth in
ning, in the vain hope that the tide
of victory might be turned, but the
change was too late and the game
ended with the fats in the lead, 9
to 8.
The umpiring of Winter and Free
burg was the best ever witnessed on
the local diamond, the game being
won and lost many times through the
superior knowledge of the game of
these two knights of the diamond.
Features of the game were the pitch

! The forest service is raising sev
eral acres or nig-tree seedlings on
the Tahoe national forest in Califor
nia, at a more northerly point than
any natural . big-tree grove. While
the giant sequoias are found in the
forests of the Sierras at' various
points throughout a total range of
some 2.10 mlies, in the northern two
thirds of this range there is practi
cally no natural reproduction. It has
been a question wtietlier the species i
would not practically disappear from j
this region when the present mature j
trees die. I
The most northern existing grove!
of big trees is on the Tahoe forest.
j but about .'14 miles southeast of the
i site selected for planting. This site j
is on a moist flat not far from Ne-I
vada City, and is about 2.70ft fi et j
above sea 1. vel. The firs! seeding I
was done in the rail ot 1910, with
very successful results, and last 1;;1I
an iiddilion.il area was seeded.
The method used in planting the
seed was that known to foresters as
"the seed spot, method." Spots about
six feel apart each way were pre
pared by pulverizing the earth with
a garden hoe. Seeds were then
dropped on these spots and lightly
pressed in the soil with the foot.
The flourishing condition of the
i voun
seedlings gives good reason to
expect a future growth of big trees
at this point. With protection of
forests from fire there seems to be
no reason why the big trees should
disappear, even though scientists re
gard them as survivals from a past
age, botanically speaking.

COUNTY COURT
IS DETERMINED
WILL RIILD BRIDGE IX CITY OF
MEDKOKD.
BOWERS THREATENS INJUNCTION
Large Attendance at. Court. Meeting
Tuesday Several Reasons Given
for Stopping Construction of
Bridge Across Bear Creek.
The county court held a special
session Tuesday morning for the pur
pose (if receiving bids for the con
traction of a bridge over Bear creek
ui Medford. The crowd was so largo
that the court adjourned to the cir
cuit court room on the second floor.
I Even this loom was filled, there be
j ing between 75 and 1.00 persons pres
ent. Most of tile citizens at this ses
sion were from Medford. Benton
Bowers and S. A. Carleton of this vi
cinity attended the meeting and ten
dered the county court a nrotest
; against the bridge, rigned by a nuiu
i her of taxpayers.
I Following the opening of the bids.
County Judge Neil announced that
I the bids would be taken under ad
I visement until 1:30 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon.
Judge Neil then announced that
several ersons were present to dis
cuss a protest which had been hand
ed the county court Just previous to
its meeting, lie announced that if
anyone had anything to say, the court
would hear them.
Mr. Bowers was the first man to
speak. He said that he appeared be
fore the court only as a representa
tive of the men who had signed the
protest to the court and that they
would certainly enjoin the court if it
persisted in going ahead with the
matter. It was following Mr. Bow
ers' first talk that Judge Neil told
him that he had better "get busy,"
for the court certainly would let a
contract for the erection or the
bridge, as the court believed the pres
ent one to be Inadequate for the traf
fic over it, and that the county was
required to keep the bridge in proper
condition to accommodate travel.
Judge E. E. Kelly of Medford then
asked Mr. Bowers to state his exact
reasons for opposing the bridge. Mr.
Bowers did so, naming the following
specific reasons:
1. The county debt now exceeds;
Its legal limit.
2. The county could not afford
the bridge at the present time.
3. The bridge was In the nature of
granting Medford a special prlvilegu
j at the expense of the county.
4. That Medford had secured far
I more than her share of the county
funds In the past.
i. 1 hat the present bridge is ade-
I quate for present needs.
6. That the county has paid the
: Medford road district enough In the;
liast for Med fold to build Its own
j bridge.
7. That there Is no demand for
such a structurre outside of the city
of Medford as It is not on a mailt
road.
8. That, the money is needed else
where In the county.
The court met again yesterday
morning and Messrs. Bowers anil
Carlton presented additional names
In protest against the building of the
bridge. The total number of names
protesting now has reached 700, all
of whom are from other points in the
valley than Ashiand. It Is a signifi
cant fact that not a single natuo
conies from this precinct. The con
tract, however, was let by the court
