From 3 o'clock until 4:n giines of all kinds were indulged in, and every move of the hostesses was watched with eyes shining with anticipation, as the lit tle guests wondered what new treat was in store for them. The fish pond, where all fished for animal cookies, came in for its full share of attention, and the toy watches and whistles which were later drawn from a Mother Goose pie, were greet ed with shouts of Joy by the recipi ents. Marching to the heat of a drum was another pleasure which the lit tle folk enjoyed. The serving of sandwiches and ice cream cones to the fifty guests brought the happy sifterneon to a close.

Rob inson, two prominent, young people of MedTi id, were united in marriage by Rev. W. Theo. Matlock of 'the Christian church. A singular coin eldenee was the fact that the wed ding occurred upon the anniversary of the wedding day of the bride's parents, un4 one day after the annl vervaiy o: the marriage of the Broom's parents. The young couple will reside iu Medford. feated side. Thirty-two pictures of missionaries and mission buildings were placed around the rooms, and to Mrs. C. D. Schell was awarded a beautiful bouquet for being able to name the largest number. A game in which a lunch basket formed an Important part, followed this one. Each guest was asked to write some thing of which the basket reminded him, then to follow that by another reminiscence founded upon the first, and so on, ten minutes being allowed in which to complete the story. The first honors in this amusing contest went to Miss Blanche Salsbury. At a late hour delicious refreshments were served to the following: Messrs. and Mesdames James Beagle, C. R Schell and H. J. Hoyd. Mrs. G. W. Benedict, Mrs. Frank Salsbury, Mrs. G. W. Milam and son Vernon, and Mrs. Guiley, Misses Blanche Salsbury, Grace Milam, Carrie Jones and Mary Guiley. Hicks-McFarlaiid. At 2:30 in the afternoon of Wed nesday, June 12, 1912, at the resi dence of J. M. Hicks on Pennsyl vania avenue, Le Roy V. Hicks and Irene McFarland were united in the bonds of matrimony, Rev. W. T. Van Scoy officiating, the ceremony in cluding the bestowal of the ring by the groom. The wedding in the midst of the varied timings of roses was a pretty one, and so quiet that few people even knew that Mr. Hicks was in town, as he had been at Pitts burgh, Pa., for the past year. He unexpectedly came home on a two months' vacation, but primarily to arrange that he might return accom panied by his chosen life companion. The home of his grandfather and aunt, which had been his own home for a number of years, was selected as the happy place for the wedding. Only the two small families were present. Following the ceremony was a dinner of rare delicacies, prepared by Miss Blanche Hicks, assisted by Miss Marie Martin. The bride and groom are both na tive Oregonians. They finished the eighth grade together in the Ashland public schools and graduated in the same class of the High school, that of 1908. Then Mr. Hicks spent three years in the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, graduating from the electrical engineering course in June, , l! 1 1, and during the past year he has been taking a practical course in electrical engineering in the great shops of the Westlnghouse Electric and Manufac turing Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., and will spend another year there completing the course. Then he ex pects to return to the west to en gage in his chosen occupation. The bride after completing the high school course took special work in the Slate Normal School. She has had charge of her father's house for the past three years, being the only one of the children still at home. This popular young couple are well known by all our young peoplpe. To say that each has made a happy choice for life is putting it mildly. About August 1 they will cross the continent to Pittsburgh and will make their home there until the groom completes his engineering work. Showers of good wishes, not of rice, will be poured upon them as they go to the distant city. S:tm.s-lu;ler. On Wednesday evening, June ', at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Sams at 4t',H Helnian street, their son. Will A. Sams, was united in marriage to Miss Emma Jugier of Lynch, Neb., Rev. J. Little of the Nazaiene church performing the ceremony. The wed ding was a very quiet affair, there licing no guests outside of the Imme diate ffiniHy of the groom, except Mr. and Mrs. Kcitchert of near Ash land and Arthur Townsend of Butte. Neb., a cousin of the groom. At S:."it Marionetto'rt Wedding March was played by Mrs. Readier! , and the young couple inarched into the room, which was profusely decorated with roses. The bride wore a beautiful piwn of white net over white messa llne, and carried a bunch of cream lot-es. The groom is a weil known young man of th'i city, and the bride was a Kiii-cssfiil teacher in the schools of Eynf h, Neb. The young couple have the congratulations and well-wishes of their many friends. After June 20 they will be at home to their friends at 468 Helman street. Clark-Nelson.

The bilde looked charming in . a gown of white silk mull, with which were worn white satin roses. After the ceremony and congratulations, the guests " were ushered into the serving rooms, where a delicious luncheon was served, the guests being seated at a number of small tables. A pretty feature which commanded the atten tion of all was the idea carried out in the decorating, a different color being used in each of the four serv ing rooms. White, pink, yellow and red roses and draperies entwined with green vines transformed the rooms into bowers of beauty. An other pretty and unique feature was found in the decoration of the hall, where an American and a Swedish flag draped together symbolized the union of the two nationalities.

Badger States That Me Had Nothing to Do With Killing of Anderson Ditch. In regard to the Anderson ditch ! controversy, I would like to state my position. The deed I gave to the city for right of way for water main had no reference, in my mind, to road building. It was to accommodate Pellett, Bailey and Pope with a more adequate supply of water. I had all I needed and more below the ditch line. After these deeds were granted and city accepted same, Mr. Pope re quested nie to sign a petition to the council requesting them to cover the water main. I told him I much pre ferred seeing the water run in the ditch. Mr. Pope then stated that his brother-in-law was an attorney and was convinced that supplying water to people outside the city limits, through that ditch, would give them water lights on Ashland creek. On that representation 1 signed the pe tition, hoping, by so doing, to arouse the council to take action against any possible danger to our water rlgirts on Ashland creek. I believe the road could have been built to better ad vantage on grade above the ditch. ' I have had absolutely nothing to do with filling the ditch with boulders or anything else. I kept that part of the ditch running through nry property dean and free from obstruc tions of any kind. I see no reason why waste water or water useless to the city of Ashland should he kept from running through that ditch, un less parties receiving and using same could, by so doing, secure water rights on Ashland .creek. I am op posed to causing the city of Ashland one dollar of unnecessary expense and have not engaged an attorney to make trouble for the city in anv wav. H. E. BADGER." SCORES OF OTHER ATTRACTIONS WATCH FOR COMPLETE PROGRAM DITCH IS CLEANED OUT Water Now Flows Unobstructed in Anderson Ditch Three .Men Worked Full Day. Children's Day. Children's day exercises at the Congregational church last Sunday evening were greeted by a packed house. The church was beautifully decorated with masses of floral of ferings, while cages containing ca nary birds, whose sweet songs gave a tone of cheer and gladness to the evening, added a finishing touch to the general impression of good cheer. The entire program was heartily received, each feature hav ing its own particular merit. Among the most impressive parts was the exercise, "The Four Angels," given by four young ladies attired in flow ing robes. Each represented a period of the day, morning being draped in pink, noon in white, evening in gray and night in black with silver stars. The young ladies taking part In the exercises were Misses Edna Dalmff, Stella Peterson, Ruth Brown and Helen Dickerson. The christening of the Joy twins was an impressive and appropriate part of the service. The following program was given: 1. Voluntary. 2. Opening song by the school, "Everywhere the Father's Praise Resounds." Prayer by the pastor. 4. Greetings by nine boys and . girls. ;i. Recitation, Ethel Patty, fi. Song, Miss Porter's class. 7.

Closing song by the school, "Sing of God's Love." 23. Benediction. 2 4. Postlude. Anderson ditch is once more free from obstructions and outside water users can get water for irrigation purposes. Following the action of property owners last Friday in fill ing up a portion of the ditch with rock while making a fcad above the ditch, the outsiders affected took im mediate action to clear the ditch. On Monday a force of three men worked the entire day and succeeded iu re moving all obstructions. H. B. Warren, one of the outsiders affected, stated to the Tidings repre sentative Tuesday that the ditch would be kept open and that he had assurance from Mayor Neil that wa ter would be furnished them at the agreed rate. He stated that he and his neighbors were accustomed to keep up the ditch at their own ex pense and that as a result the cost of irrigation was far more in excess of the 25 cents per acre paid to the city. He also said that none of them had as yet tendered money to the city for water but had the assurance of Mayor Neil that when tendered it would be accepted, as the city intend ed to carry out its agreement. An other phase of the situation pointed out by Mr. Warren was the fact that the city reserves the right to cut off the supply at will, thus leaving the beneficiaries of the ditch at the mercy of the city.
