Reports thus far received by officers of the war department on the recent country-wide military maneuvers indicate that the militia establishment of the nation is more enthusiastic and of greater force than since 189$ when the war with Spain aroused citizen soldiery. The regular army, observed in the i-ame maneuvers, is regarded as a more effective fighting force because of the Texas mobilization and its participation with the militia in ma neuver camps. Regular army officers attribute the greater interest taken in the militia largly to frequent rumors of trouble with Mexico and the unrest in Cen tral America. In the absence of official reports from the umpires who officiated at the various problem maneuvers, in cluding the attacks on New York and San Francisco, military experts last night were not prepared to comment at length on the lessons learned from the fijJl exercises. It was admitted, however, that the unofficial reports indicated the analysis of the move ments against both cities would dis close defects in their defenses. The maneuvers, which lasted eight lays, cost close to $2,500,000, of which the federal government pro vided $1,350,000. More than 12,000,000 square miles are embraced in the British empire.

ASHLAND LYCEUM COURSE. Every Performance of Approaching Season a (Star Attraction. The preparations for the coming lyceum course are maturing. The attractions are A 1. Every perform ance a star attraction. The local committee will n a few days be cir culating among the good people of the city, making the advance sale. Katharine Ridgway with her con cert company play the opening num ber in November. In all lyceum cir cles the name of Ridgway carries with it "extreme satisfaction." Governor E. W. Hoch of Kansas will bring a message that grips the mind and soul of his hearers. His fellow-townsman of Topeka, speak ing of his lecture at Kansas City, said: "His speech at Kansas City dazzled the natives." 1 Strickland W. Gillilan, humorist, will be the next number. He says In his own inimitable way: "The best thing 1 ever saw in print about my work (that I didn't write myself) was this: 'Gillilan's entertainment makes you love your children better.' That's worth working for." Next, John B. Ratto, impersonator. Character studies from life. It is said of him that he lives every char acter he studies. Has a rare quality of popularizing classics, simplifying them without having to make" apolo gies to their builders. In presenting each number Mr. Ratto "makes up." Next, the Strollers Quartet. Many enjoyed the Whitney Brothers last winter. We are assured this attrac tion will excel the brothers. They are not musical "pick-ups." They are musicians for life. They court no other calling. To be first in mu sic is their one ambition. Last but not least Is Ralph Bing ham', entertainer. The only one in his class. This man will make you laugh in spite of yourself. You sim ply can't help it. Your neighbor will laugh, the woman in front of you will laugh, the man behind you will be bubbling over with laughter. The advice of the committee would be, just buckle up the belt straps a little tighter; you will need extra prepara tion for this entertainment. It will be worth your while. Everybody laughs but the groilch, and he laughs some. Take it all through, we present you a very evenly balanced program for the coming winter. We have confidence in the folks of Ashland that it will be well patronized. Sea son tickets $2. Student tickets $1.50 with reserved seats. We venture the promise that seats will not be sold the second time for this course. Packer Liable for Poisonous Pork. New York. In overruling a de murrer interposed by Armour & Company in a damage suit -brought by Sophie Kelterer, who alleged that she had been poisoned by trichinae infected pork prepared by the de fendant, Judge Noyes, in the United States district court, ruled that the packer, not the middleman or re tailer, is responsible. "The producer should be held re sponsible for the result of negligent acts which he can readily foresee," said the court. "The iron manufac turer who fails to inspect a piece of iron cannot foresee that it will be used in a boiler and cause a ship to sink. But the meat packer who fails to inspect his products for poisonous parasites or ingredients knows that poison will poison and that persons to be poisoned through his neglect will be those who eat his products t-nd no one else." Armour & Company contended that a manufacturer who deals with the middleman and not directly with the consumer, owes the latter no duty whatever, except the duty of re fraining from knowingly and wilfully inflicting injury.

Thirty-two years of honorable service with the Southern Pacific Company in Oregon is the record of James Skelly, sec tion boss of the Lebanon- branch, who will be retired under the pen sion rules- of the company shortly. Skelly not only has a record for hon orable service, but In all of those years he has never missed a single day's work. He went to work for the Southern Pacific known at the time as the Oregon & California in September, 1880. , Shortly after taking employment with the company he was given charge of the Lebanon & Albany branch and he has been the first and only section boss on that branch. Skelly has saved a sufficient sum to enable him to purchase al00-acre fariu two miles west of Jackson and will begin the life of a farmer as soon as the pension board authorizes his pension. The pension system of the South ern Pacific Company is' absolutely voluntary. Employes .are not re quired to contribute to any fund. When they have reached the age of 70, or have been incapacitated for work after an honorable service, they are retired with a pension. On Au gust 31. 1912. there warn R08 non- sioners on the rolls of this railroad. lhese men and women are from all denartments. Some am nffiniaic nH many are from the maintenance of way aepanment. since the estab lishment of the pension department in September, 1903, the Southern Pa cific has disbursed $1,083,822 in pensions. EUTHANASIA URGED. Woman Paralytic Asks to Re Put Out of Misery. New York. The legai and moral issues of euthanasia are presented to the people of New York state by Mrs. Sarah Harris, an incurable paralytic, who asks for the enactment of a law which would permit a physician to end her suffering by death. Mrs. Harris is a patient at the Audubon Sanitarium. Paralysis has stricken her every faculty save brain and speech. Physicians admit their helplessness in Mrs. Harris' case, as serting it may be vears before she dies. i "When a brute of the lowest ani mal kingdom," says Mrs. Harris, in her appeal, "is suffering, it is killed and put out o,f its misery. But a cruel order forces human beings to suffer. I seek a law which would permit physicians to kill any person incurably affected, who prefers death to a life of suffering." Superintendent Lloyd of the Audu bon Sanitarium says he is inclined to favor the law if it could be safe guarded and, restricted. He feared, however, it w:ould open an avenue to make murder easy. Lloyd expressed deep sympathy for Mrs. Harris. LONGEST TUNNEL IN AMERICA. Southern Pacific Will Rore . 30,000 Feet Through Sierras.'. J San Francisco. Chairman .Robert S. Lovett of tha hoard of directors of the Harriman lines 'discussed, Friday, details Af the long tunnel the Southern Pacific plans to bore through the Sierras. To save a pull of about 1,000 feet, the company proposes to build a tunnel 30,000 feet in length and which will cost about $10,000,000. It wjll be cut into the mountains at' a point be tween Blue Canyon, Cal., and Truckee. According to Judge Lov ett, it will be the longest tunnel on the continent. Trains propelled by electric power will be used in the big bore, which is to be for a single track only. Dou ble track Bystems, however, will ex tend from its western portal clear to San Francisco Bay, and from the eastern portal of Omaha, save for stretches of single tracking in iso lated spots. The point selected for the tunnel will necessitate a big change in the present line between Truckee and Blue Canyon. STRANGE FOSSILS SOUGHT. Laltren Tar Bed to Be Explored for Animals of Pliocene Age. Los Angeles, Sept. 7. A thorough excavation of the famous LaBrea tar beds, near Los Angeles, in a system atic search for the skeletons of birds and animals of the pliocene age, will be begun here soon, according to Prof. Reginald C. Stoner, a graduate of the University of California. Prof. Stoner arrived in Los Angeles re cently. "There are few places discovered in any portion of the globe that have produced such perfect specimens of fossil organism as the LaBrea tar beds," said Prof. Stoner. "They may possibly reveal new features in the science of palenontology and give us even more wonderful animals. than the saber-tooth tiger and the mighty sloth, remains of which have been taken from LaBrea with little ef fort." SALMON FRY SUPS AWAY. Recent Rains Enable Little Fellows to Ieave Hatchery. Tillamook, Ore. A large number of young salmon fry have been turned loose and nhintprl In rivers of this comity from the Trask river sal mon hatchery. Some 700,000 young fry were ready to be turned loose when the recent rains came, and, ow ing to the rise in the. Trask river, they made their escape. As they were the largest fish at the hatchery, they had obtained sufficient growth to protect themselves from the sal mon trout, the worst enemy the young fry have to contend with when turned into the rivers Weekly Oregonlan and Ashland Tidings one year, $2.50. THE BURBANK OF THE VALLEY. Gold Hill Man Working Wonders With Four Acres. Wheat straws six feet in length, 65 to 100 springing from one cur rent kernel, with heada Avprspfn? six Inches, presaging a yield of at least iuu Dusneis to the acre, is a possibility for southern Oreirrm that has been exclusively demonstrated by T7 l a w ci . i . . ..... cuucu ai. amua upon nis little brush land farm Just west of Gold Hill. By selective breedine. covering nnlv twn seasons of growth, and by an intui tive Knowledge or gardening and the needs of plant life, Gardener Smith has succeeded in nrodnclntr such wheat as this, which he proposes to distribute among growers really in terested in the imnrovement of whpat yields. Owing to his limited acreage upon the little patch of land which ne .cultivates he has not been in a position to produce seed of this sort in any considerable nuantitv hut- In certain that he could repeat the yield in equal proportion upon any given area. "Gardener" Smith, an h stvlpa himself, is 65 years of age, and for a lifetime has been modestly tinker ing away at tne proDiems or plant growth and breedine. utilizing fnr the most part land thought to be un lit for agricultural purposes, and making several acres of such soil produce what the average eriwer considers to be a good return upon many times the acreage. The little plot near Gold Hill nrnducea such agricultural marvels an seed and seedless squash upon one vine, big yiems or garden truck throughout the entire season upon unirrigated soil, and is the site of . Gardener Smith's laboratorial labors with vari ous, fertilizers of his own devising, the formula of which he secretly pre serves, and which he guarantees to accelerate plant growth at a rate never attained since Jack planted the marvelous bean and went after the giant. Mr. Smith's two sons. John and James,, are well known and prosper ous ranchers of this locality follow ing worthily in the parental furrow I upon tneir quarter section or Tine al falfa land on Sardine creek. Gar. dener Smith, however, professes that four acres of Jackson county brush land is enough to satisfy the most ardent agriculturist, and is planning to assist the southern Oregon climate in producing some really remarkable and novel yields another season. 1 - LUMBER PROBE CONTINUES. Evidence Reveals Control ofWlioIe- salers Over Consumer. Seattle. Further evidence of the pressure brought to bear on the lum ber manufacturers and wholesalers who vicjated the lumber trades code of ethics by selling to mail order houses, Vpoachers" or consumers was given Thursday before Special Commissioner Palmer, who was tak ing testimony in the government's anti-trust suit against the retail lum bermen's association. Louis Schwager, of Schwager & Nettleton, wholesalers of Seattle, told how his company had much cor respondence with some of their large customers and with association sec retaries when they sold lumber to unethical dealers in North Dakota. He said the practice of selling only to legitimate dealers was a long-established custom and was recognized by his company. ' CURE FOR INFANT PARALYSIS. Medical Man Claims He Has Remedy for This Raffling Disease. BoSton. It is confidently expected that a cure for infantile paralysis will soon be given to the world. After four years of study and in vestigation at the Harvard Medical School, Dr. Phillip A. T. Sheppard is convinced that he has isolated the microscopic infectious virus which at tacks the spinal cord, causing infan tile paralysis, with all its hideous symptoms. Now that the virus, a morbid poi son, has been isolated, it will be com paratively easy to find an anti-toxin to combat it. Dr. Shepperd, who is investigator for the state board of health, de clares the house fly and dust in par ticular carry the virus of infantile pa ralysis and play the most important part in its propagation and distribu tion. Progressives Sweep California. San Francisco. Practically a com plete count of returns of yesterday's state primary indicates the progres sives have nominated more than 80 of the 100 republican party candi dates for the legislature as opposed to Taft republicans, that they are victorious in five and possibly Beven of the eleven congressional districts. Phelan of the Wilson wing of the democrats won easily from Bell of the Clark faction throughout the state. As the progressive victory insures the nomination of presidential elect ors pledged to Roosevelt, 'the Taft leaders have begun a discussion of plans for placing their candidates on the November ballot. Their only re course is to launch special petitions each of which must bear the names of 11,000 who did not participate in the primaries. Even then they will not be allowed a party designation. Indian's Word Good. Portland, Ore., Sept. 7.- That he was worthy of the trust reposed in him today is proved by George Gray, a Klamath Indian. When Gray was sentenced to 60 days' imprisonment for giving away liquor on the Klam ath Indian reservation he asked United States District Judge Beau that the sentence be suspended two months so that he might return home and harvest his crops. The court granted his request and Gray re turned at the proper time and gave himself up. Gray's trouble was the result of the birth of an heir. He felt so happy he obtained several gal lons of whiskey and shared it with his neighbors. , PARCELS POST REGULATIONS. Senator Bourne Gives Out Informa tion Concerning New Law.

Disastrous Fire at California Resort. Los Angeles. Fire originating from a defective flue at the Casino cafe on the pleasure pier at Ocean Park at 5 o'clock Tuesday night caused a loss of at least one life and a property damage estimated at $2, 250,000. For a time it threatened to devastate the twin beach resorts of Ocean Park and Venice, 18 miles from Los Angeles. A high wind caused the flames to spread so rapidly that seven men were caught at the end of the Frazer pier, on which the Casino was lo cated, and were forced to jump into the breakers. Six of them were res cud by lifguards, who put out in boats. They were not in time, how ever, to save the life of E. W. Leach, chef. of the Casino cate. The flames, spreading rapidly through the concession district, swept everything from the Dragon Gorge, a huge roller coaster, down toward Venice. The abatement oi the wind gave the fire department, augmented by fire companies from Los Angeles, an opportunity to j?et the fire under control. At the Decatur Hotel, which was destroyed, there were many thrilling rescues, and Special Officer Charles Simpson rescued Mrs. H. C. Lathrop, an invalid, from the top floor. Pa trons lost $10,000 in gems, money and clothing. Nine babies, including one Japan ese infant, were saved from the "baby incubator" on the pier by Frederick House, the babies being taken away in metal cases of the in cubators.
