Walter, Willis. lone and Myrtle Scott, Mrs. J. E. Daniels, Ma bel, Ruth, Agnes and Joe Daniels. . Wednesday night the large lawn at the A. E. Kinney home on Granite street was taken possession of by a number of old friends and neigh bors, who came bringing heavily laden baskets whose contents were spread on a long table on the lawn. Those enjoying the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wagner and chil dren, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wagner and children, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Peil, Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Carter and guests, Mrs. Kidd and son of Oakland, Cal.; Mr. and Mrs. H. Mattern and family, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Simpson and children, Mrs. E. H. Wagner, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Sanders and chil dren. Wednesday witnessed a number of picnics in the park, but ye scribe ar rived upon the scene too late to se cure the names of all. One little family party was composed of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Campbell (known to Chautauquans as "Dick Posey"), daughters lsolene and Margaret, and Miss Irene Barrett. Another group who spent the day in the grove, serv ing a picnic lunch at noon and an other at 5 o clock, were gathered in compliment to Mr. and Mrs.. James Bovey, daughter Alice and son Char lie, who are visiting Ashland friends, and also in commemoration of the thirty-seventh wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Weisenberger. The members of the party were Mr. and Mrs. James Bovey, Alice and Charlie Bovey of Sacramento, Cal.; Mrs. Bryant and daughters Helen and Anna, Mrs. Hathaway, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Weisenoerger and daugh ter Mary, Mrs. M. M. Edmunds, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Edwards and two children, Helen and Margaret Hodg son, John Hodgson and Lester Weis enberger. About fifteen young people from Talent came over Wednesday even ing to attend an egg-fry given in their honor by the young people of the Christian church of this city. The merry crowd journeyed up the canyon, and after spending some time in singing, story-telling and Kames while grouped around the blazing fire, the crowd returned to town and took possession of the Christian church, where the remain der of the evening was spent. A bonfire was built on a sandy spot ItATE PERIOD SHORTENED. OtloniKta Must Also Pay $." More for Tickets. Further steps toward what prob ably will eventually result in the abolishment of the low-rate colonist 'season altogether have just been taken by the' Transcontinental Pas senger Association which fixes the rates and dates for this class of busi ness, has decided that the excursion rates shall apply for only 15 days this fall the shortest season ver fixed for such traftic. The dates, as announced in private telegrams to Hill and Harrinian pas senger officials, will be from Septem ber 25 to October 10, 'inclusive. In recent years, both for spring and fall business, the seasons have ex tended all tbe way from 30 to 45 and even GO days, while the one-way fare from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Du luth, Superior and all Missouri river common points has been sometimes $25 and sometimes $30. This fall the prospective colonist Sets the worst of it in both rates and dates, for not only is the season reduced to the lowest possible limit, but the minimum rate for tickets will be advanced to $30. The present announcement shows that the railroad lines which have ew opposed to granting colonist rates are slowly gaining the upper liand of the more liberal lines which have always favored a long season and the minimum rate of $25. The opposition to the plan of encourag ing settlers to take advantage of the colonist season excursion is due to the fact that many of the railroads do not believe it is a desirable busi ness to go after, that there is no lMxflt in it, and that a difference of I or $10 in the rate would not Veep the eastern or middle western farmer from coming to the coast if Tiie really wanted to make his home oat here. The short season Is favored be cause it is held that the prospective nonieseeker can plan to come during a 15-day season just as well as In a 4 5-day season, such as existed last spring, and that the railroads have plenty of equipment to handle the rush in any event.

That an electric line from Suther lin to Coos bay via the Coos river route befoie there is any other rail road in here is the belief and hope of F. B. Waite of Sutherlin, who is spending a few weeks on the bay looking after his extensive interests here. Mr. Waite is anticipating much from the electric line project which Messrs. Doyle and Farren started at Roseburg some time ago and which, it is now understood, Messrs. Pierce and Cox of Boise, builders and oper ators of the interurban system at the Idaho state capital, will take over about August 5. Mr. Waite says that 60 miles of i road will connect up the Southern Pacific at Sutherlin with navigation on Coos river. There is a good grade and comparatively easy construction with the exception of one long tun nel, something less than a mile, to be cut through the range. This with another 50 miles or so of feeders would bring all the heavy timber in the region east of Coos bay, the Cala-J pooia valley and the upper Umpqua to Coos bay. There is also a rich dairy, fruit and agricultural section near Winchester to be tapped. Mr. Waite has offered a bonus of $50,000 cash to the road building from Winchester direct to Coos bay, and many other large bonuses will also be offered. It is understood. Owing to the comparatively easy construction, it is believed that the road can be easily built in two years. North Bend Harbor. A CLEVER STROKE. Suffrage Plank in New Will Draw. Platform Chicago. The suffragette element undeniably win figure prominently in the coming campaign. TTie pro gressive leaders think the "votes for women" plank will prove one of the best vote getters in the platform. They assert that the suffragette movement Is stronger throughout the country than easterners realize, and they point out the arty's advo cacy of suffrage will influence thou sands of women who will urge hus bands, sons and fathers to vote the progressive ticket. - It Is admitted that the new party executed a clever stroke in enlisting the aid of Jane Addams of Hull House. It is not denied either that strong pressure has been exerted by both democrats and republican sup porters of Hull House to keep the noted equal suffragist out of the fight. But the new party leaders de clare Miss Addams is In the progres sive party to stay. Clearance Sale. For two weeks, in millinery,' all lines, big bargains. Mrs. H. Simons. ItOSK'BURO SEES COMEDY. Chinese Family Quarrel Over Funds on Depot Platform. Roseburg. Mrs. Quong Hing, wife of a wealthy Chinese hop grower and storekeeper of Marion county, and .their four little children and. Mrs. Hing's sister started for San Fran cisco from Salem Wednesday after noon, but their journey was unex pectedly interrupted in Roseburg, be cause they had taken several hun dred of Mr. Hing's hard-earned dol lars out of the safe in his store with out his consent, and Mr. Hing, upon discovering the loss, had word tele graphed ahead for the detention of his spouse. The climax of this interesting comedy for the bystanders took place at the Roseburg depot Friday morning, after the two women and the quartet of little Hings had seat ed themselves in a passenger coach of southbound train No. 15. They had come here on Wednesday night's local, No. 17, with tickets for San Francisco, and had intended to com plete their trip on No. 15. The lat ter train brought from Salem Mr. Hing in person, and when net con fronted the surprised women in the car the fun began. With Sheriff Quine standing by. Hing demanded the return or his money and the children, nothing more. Mrs. Hing kept her head down in stubborn silence, but her sister proved anytthing but quiet and sub missive. She immediately began to argue matters with her brother-in-law in Chinese and for the next five minutes the passengers and crowd outside the car were treated to a deluge of jargon that would have brought a grin to the face of a mum my. Finally the women sought j.o placate the irate husband by hand ing him back $160 in gold. He promptly pocketed the coin, but im mediately insisted on the rest. The women refused and Hing requested the sheriff to arrest them, adding that he would swear out a warrant at once charging them with theft. The demeanor of the two women was reversed wnen Sheriff Quine got into action. The spunky sister-in-law stepped off the train quietly, but Mrs. Hing, aroused from her sulk, began to screech and fought the officer when he attempted to get her out of the car. She continued her struggles on the depot platform un til her strength gave out. Instead of procuring a warrant, the husband later effected a reconciliation with the two women and. in the afternoon the entire party of seven went back to Salem. FINDS NEW KERRY. Corvallis Man Grows Strawberry. Raspberry on Potato Vine. The limit has been reached J. A. Kerr, orchardist and berry grower at the west end of Monroe street, is now producing strawberries with a rasp berry flavor and appearance, and growing them on potato vines. A dish full of the fruit in the Gazette Times window at this time will prove that this statement is not a matter of imagination. The berry in question is what is known as the "strawberry raspber ry." It is of the size and general shape of the strawberry, but is built like the red raspberry. The flavor is like neither of them, just as the lo ganberry does not taste like either the blackberry or the raspberry. It is a prolific producer at the Kerr place, and that experimenter believes it would be a fine berry for general growth here, being especially suited for jams and jellies. Mr. Kerr got his plants at Beatrice, Neb. They grow only as high as potato vines, are very thorny and die to the ground in the winter time and spring up anew when the , warm weather conies again. The plants bear fruit the year following the time set out. and propagate from sprouts like the red raspberry. The berries produce at a tremendous rate, are solid, firm and fair to look upon. The only objection would be the lank of distinctive flavor and acid. The fruit appears to be too mild, but Mr. Kerr vouches for it that familiarity with the berry has made it a favorite with several who cared little for it at first. It is truly attractive in ap pearance, and would prove a valu able addition to our small fruit plantings If It should meet with gen eral favor. Corvallis Times. RATTLER IN CELLAR. Buzz of Snake Warns Hood River Man of Its Presence. Hood River, Ore It is only on rare occasions that rattlesnakes are found in the Hood River valley. One of them invaded the basement of the home of F. E.

Scientists Will Investigate the Tun nels in Swiss Product. Washington. D. C. What makes the holes in cheese? Other problems, such as "What is whiskey?" "What is beer?" and "Is a hen a bird?" over which the gov ernment's learned scientists have ar gued and almost fought, have been laid aside -for research into the causes of the little winding tunnels that penetrate a Swiss cheese. The holes in cheese, say men of science, are dollars and cents to the merchant, for they indicate a grade and value. So they propose to learn how they may be encouraged. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydro gen and some of the other imps of chemistry have to do with making the holes, and the professors with retorts and blow pipes hope to find a way so every little cheese may have some holes all its own ' Don't forget that two-mile1 parade of the Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch Shows Get up town early and get a good place as our streets will be crowded.
