While Mine Host Hardy of the Ho

before the contemplated surprise, no
Inkling of it reached him until Hear
ing noon Sunday, when he inquired

ing special attention, and received

for a dinner party. That being noth
ing uncommon, Mr. Hardy dismissed

Canyon Picnics Continue in Favor.
Chautauqua Park and Ashland
Creek canyon continue to be popular
resorts for picnic parties, many peo
ple coming from other places to
spend a restful day in these spots.
A number of little picnic crowds
from out of town were seen in the
park Saturday, most of them being
Medford visitors. One group of' lit
tle people, who seemed to thorough
ly enjoy the hill-climbing and the
wading, was chaperoned by Miss
Wiley of Medford, and was composed
of the following children: Ruth
Akin. Melise Mackay, Marion and
William Brown.
Another group who seemed to ap
preciate the coolness and quiet of the
grove were Mrs. Meckelson of Walla
Walla, Wash., and Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Brooks and son Stanford of
Medford. '
: Farther up the canyon, another
group were merrily celebrating the
eighth birthday of little Georganna
Clift of this city. The wading in the
cool waters of the creek seemed to
particularly appeal, to the little peo
ple in this group, also.- Those in
tnis party were Mrs. H. C. Garnett
and daughters Fay and Ruth, Mrs.
S. A. Van Hardenburg and daughters
Fern and May, Mrs. Lyon and son
Byron, and Christine Berryhill of
Medford, and Mrs. A. E. Hensley and
daughters Georganna and Pauline
Clift and Genevieve Hensley, and
Desda Hadley of this city.
Another party composed of Mr.
and Mrs. D. O. Hurley, W. H. Hurley
and Miss Ethelyn Hurley spent the
noon hour in the pavilion partaking
of a delicious basket dinner, and en
joyed a few hours f rest and quiet
in the park afterward. Mrs. Jennie
Moran and small son and Mrs. James
Clark formed another little group
on Friday, also.
Not a day this summer has the
park been without several of these
little groups, and from the number
of picnic crowds seen there lately,
the idea of spending a few hours on
the banks of Ashland creek seems to
be steadily gaining in favor.
SHEEP ARE VALUABLE
WVIhorn lieeson Advises Every
Farmer to Raise Koine.
According to Welborn Beeson of
Talent, a highly successful rancher
and a pioneer of Jackson county,
any ranch or farm is as incomplete
without a few sheep as would be a
cartoon of Colonel Roosevelt without
a display of molars. Furthermore,
he has the figures to show that from
a financial standpoint nothing could
be more lucrative than a small flock
of sheep, well attended.
Mr. Beeson is not in the sheep
raining business and never has been,
though for the past five years he
has had a few animals about the
ranch. These he has Kept carefully
under his observation that he might
prove his belief that they were prof
itable. A year ago he decided that he had
too large a flock and he disposed of
all save ten choice ewes. These he
valued at $10 each, the amount he
was offered by the butcher. Since
that time he has sold from these ten
ewes and their offspring wool to the
value of $59.1 r and mutton $28 a
total of $S7.ir. He has at this time
28 sheep in his flock, which he val
ues at $140. This gives him a gain
of $177.15 in one' year's time.
Equally as convincing Is his report
for the entire five years. At that
time he started with 13 sheep, valued
at $72. The wool and mutton sold
since that time has brought $522.
In addition to this, they have cleared
for the most part 10 acres of land,
which would have amounted to $620
In time and money If he had accom
plished the work himself or had the
piece cleared by coutract. As before,
the 2 8 sheep still remain at the val
uation of 140. The total revenrte
from the flock in the five years Is
$1,282, or a gain of $1,212 In five
years.
Contrary to the prevalent belief,
Mr. Beeson states that the pasturing
of sheep is not detrimental to the
land. On the other hand, it is very
helpful through the enrichment af
forded by the flock. Another point
of interest, according to Mr. Beeson,
is that fact that there is little or no
care attached to the work and that
the mouey resulting from the flock
Is practically without effort.

TEMPEKAXCE MAX CALLS.
I MenilHT of Prcwbj terian Committee
Confers With IUv. Chlsholm. ,
The Rev. Charles Wadsworth, D.
D., formerly the president of Occi
dental College, and now a member of
the temperance committee of the
Presbyterian church, spent Friday in
Ashland conferring with the pastor
of the local church here in regard to
certain libels which have appeared
in a certain prohibition paper called
the "Advance," which paper has stat
ed that the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church had repudiated
the Anti-Saloon League. Dr. Wads
worth authorizes the following offi
cial announcement to be made:
"At the last general assembly the
body was asked whether any church
Aufl 0 uojiiuSooaj asjB pinoo lanoo
non-ecciesiastical organization, or
appoint officers to same. The as
sembly answered that such action
was contrary to the constitution of
the church. This action applies to
all temperance organizations which
are non-ecclesiastical, such as politi
cal parties, W. C. T. U., leagues, etc.
This does not mean that the general
assembly is not in sympathy with
their work, but only states that the
constitution of the church forbids
any vital connection with such or
ganizations. At the same time the
general assembly commended the
permanent committee for working in
harmony wltn the Anti-Saloon
League. So that, instead of repudi
ating the league, the general assem
bly went as far as its constitution
allows it and commends its work."
Dr. Wadsworth further stated that
the general assembly committee,
while asking a gift from each church
for its own work, believed that the
major portion of the money raised on
any field should go to such local
work as the Anti-Saloon League is
carrying on.
Dr. Wadsworth also confirmed the
sensational exposure of a certain ed
itor of a temperance paper which has
been making violent attacks on the
league. The source of the most of
the attacks on the league have come
from a Mr. Robinson of St. Louis.
William E. Johnson, a member of
the permanent committee, unearthed
certain correspondence, showing that
Mr. Robinson was in the pay of the
liquor interests. This correspond
ence is now on file, and shows be
yond all doubt that said Robinson,
while posing as one of the editors of
a temperance paper which confines
the most of its editorials to attacks
upon the Anti-Saloon League, ic act
ually an agent of certain liquor asso
ciations. On account of these two temper
ance papers being sent free to large
numbers of the members of the Anti
Saloon League, evidently with the
object of injuring the league In this
state, Dr. Wadsworth is visiting the
leading churches of the state to coun
teract the falsehoods' of such Irre
sponsible articles. Dr. Wadsworth
hopes to visit Ashland later and give
a stereoptlcan lecture explaining the
work of the general assembly's com
mittee on temperance.

WANT POLICE MATROX.
Medford Ladies Petition Council for
Woman on Force.
Medford needs a police matron.
Such Is the opinion of the local W.
C. T. U. and Borne of the woman's
clubs of the different churches, and
to that end they have taken active
steps to place the matter before the
council in the near future. A wom
an has been found whom the W. C.
T. U. thinks is worthy to be a cus
todian of the law In the personage
of Miss Harriet Selly of Portland,
Ore., who has have five years' ex
perience In such work in Norfolk,
Va. Her name will be presented to
the mayor, should their request be
granted.
Many reasons why a police ma
tron Is necessary to Medford are
given by the ladies.
"There are many troubles," said
one member of the W. C. T. L, "that
people will not tell to a policeman.
Laws are broken every day and their
consequences quietly borne until
they grow into such abnormal pro
portions that the police attention is
attracted to them. This could be
avoided to a great extent if a woman
was on the force."
"We also believe tnat the possibil
ity of white slavery could to a large
degree be precluded by a woman be
ing on duty on the force. Delin
quency could also be abated and in
general the moral tone of the city
Improved. We do not look for oppo
sition from the mayor or the city
council for we believe that they are
informed as to conditions and that
they appreciate that tne better the
laws are enforced the healthier the
moral tone of the city becomes."

The boys went from Eugene to

There they visited the old battlefield

and there was little talk of the war,
though the customs officials heid
their guns while they went to the
town, returning them when they re
crossed the line into Uncle Sam's do

Clem stopped at Sacramento on the
return journey and may remain for
