WECOMED ON TUESDAY EVENING
The First Business Session of South
ern Oregon Conference Held Wed
nesday Morning With Bishop
Cooke Presiding.
The Methodist Episcopal clergy
men of Oregon were formally wel
comed to the city of Ashland Tuesday
evening. The reception, if such it
may be termed, was held at the
Methodist Episcopal church, and was
presided over by Rev. Robert E. Dun
lap, district superintendent of this
distrfct.
After singing "I Love to Tell the
Story," prayer was offered by Rev.
C. C. Rarick of Portland.
The choir rendered a beautiful an
them which held the people in rapt
attention:
The presiding officer then called
upon Mayor R. P. Neil, who in well
chosen words, with many happy allu
sions, welcomed the guests on behalf
of the city.
He was followed by Rev. W.. A.
Schwimley, pastor of the Ashland
Congregational church, who extend
ed a hearty welcome in behalf of the
Ministerial Association and the
churches of Ashland. R. P. Camp
bell was then called upon to extend
a welcome in behalf of the layty, who
did so in his usual happy and effect
ive manner.
The next number on the program
was a solo by Miss Gilbert, which
was much enjoyed by the audience.
It had not been expected that
Bishop Cooke would be able to be
present so early in the sessions of
the conference and Rev. Benjamin
Young had been assigned the task of
replying to the addresses of welcome,
which he did in a felicitous manner.
Fortunately, however, the bishop was
able to reach Ashland on Tuesday
afternoon, and he followed Rev. Mr.
Young. His address was an earnest
plea for the work in hand, a eulogy
of the past work of the conference
and a prophecy for its future suc
cess. The meeting closed wtih the bene
diction by Rev. John Flynn of Port
land, aged 95, and introduced as the
youngest clergyfnan in Oregon. Af
ter the formal session some time was
spent in getting acquainted and in
renewing old acquaintances, after
which the assemblage dispersed.
Wednesday Morning Session.
On Wednesday morning the real
business of the conference was taken
up after the sacrament ot tne L,ora s
Supper had been observed, Bishop
Cooke making a brief but earnest
talk preceding the ceremony.
After filling various vacancies in
committees and making some
changes to prevent conflicting duties
on the part of committee members,
the conference got down to business.
One of the first matters before the
meeting was a resolution introduced
by Rev. Delmar H. Trimble of Cen
tenary church, Portland, endorsing
Governor West's anti-vice campaign.
It was unanimously passed.
The rest of the ' forenoon session
was devoted to hearing the reports
of the various district superintend
ents, all of which were ftery encour
aging and showed good, substantial
growth during the past yar.
Wednesday Afternoon.
The main event in the afternoon
was a statistical session which was
heta in the Methodist church, com
mencing at 1:30, with Dr. Young of
Portland in the -chair. The board
of stewards and the conference board
held meetings at the Presbyterian
church and Bishop Cooke met with!ai"n ai me loot or uauey nin, o
the district, sunerintendents at the ; two telephone linemen, suffering
home of A. W. Silsby on North Main
street.

been for nearly if not quite 20 years
at the head of the board, and in
charge of the distribution of the con
ference funds, retired, and is suc

lap Three Months.
The criminal docket of the present
term of the circuit court closed Mon
day with the sentencing of six con
victed prisoners to terms in the coun
ty iail and state prison. Sixteen in
dictments were returned by the !
grand jury. In twelve of these ver- j
diets of guilty were returned, one

CHOW PEA X ITS IX VALLEY.
Gold Hill Man Demonstrates Possi
bilities in That Line.
An experiment in peanut growing
attempted the present season by
Charles Erlwein, of Gold Hill has
resulted so successfully that he will
piant an extensive patch next year
to demonstrate yet another possibil
ity of the Rogue River valley. Mr,
Erlwein cultivated a single row of
the goobers this season and the
plants have done remarkably well,
bearing heavily and producing pea
nuts of large size and excellent qual
ity. The peanut is a legume,- the
foliage closely resembling clover or
alfalfa, and bearing a small orange
colored bloom. Each blossom, as it
matures and falls, sends earthward
a single sprout which enters the soil
and forms a bulb that in due course
of time becomes a peanut holiday
food for elephants or folks. Mr. Erl
wein and his neighbor, George Hol
comb, who has also grown a small
patch, believe that they have proven
the adaptability of the crop to this
locality, and propose to at least sup
ply Gold Hill with its holiday quota
of "fresh roasted" next seasqji. '

The matter of appropriating
$3,000 additional toward the cost of
the proposed state armory was taken
up. a petition signed by about 400 1
voters of the city being presented.
L. L. Mulit presented the peti
tion to the council, speaking briefly
of the situation and stating that if
the additional amount were not ap
propriated, the state being willing
also to appropriate $3,000 out of the
additional $6,000 needed to erect the
building according to the plans of
the state architect, that it would be
necessary to cut out the stage and
other features which would vitally
Impair the value of the building to
the people of Ashland. He stated
that the party who took out the first
copy of the petition, in visiting 100
business men, numbering many of
the heaviest taxpayers of the city,
met with only one refusal, and that

hy unanimous response. Mr. Mulit
also presented to the council a tele
gram just received from Adjutant
General Finzer, in reply to one sent
by Mr. Mulit to the state architect.
It had been rumored upon tne street
that the work on the armory would
not be commenced this year, even if
the city made the appropriation. The
telegram stated that the contract
would be let as 6oon as the council
acted, and construction commenced
at once.
Upon a motion to appropriate the
above amount. Councilman Cunning
ham stated that he did not feel like
throwing cold water on the scheme,
but that the question came up in
such a way that he could not ignore
it. That a local contractor, who
was the lowest bidder, had told him
that he did not expect, when he sub
mitted the bid, to get the contract,
thus giving Mr. Cunningham to un
derstand that he expected there
would be lower bids.
Councilman Butler stated that the
three lowest bids were within a range
of only $200, and that the high bid
was $4 8,000. As to the legality of
the action of the city council, he had
taken the matter up carefully and
was informed that it was strictly le

CLARK FOR U. S. SENATOR
I'a-rty in Assembly at Salem Mailt?
Nomination of Full State Ticket to
Be Voted for in Oregon at the
Coming Election.
Salem, Sept. 17. The progressiye
party of Oregon today made nomi
nations for presidential electors.
United States senator and congress
men, and adopted a resolution to
place a complete ticket in the field
and adopted a platform.
A. E. Clark, a young Portland law
yer, was given the nomination for
United States senator, defeating for
mer Senator Mulkey, who was an
avowed candidate, and Senator
Bourne, who was not a candidate.
The feature of the senatorial nomina
tion was a bitter attack on Bourne
by old political enemies who ques
tioned his progresslveness. At the
time he was nominated Clark was
presiding over the convention.
The convention passed a resolu
tion that no one be nominated who
did not declare his allegiance to the
progressive party. This was forced
over tne objections or tnose wno
wished no other ticket than one for
the presidential electors and who be-
lived that the regular republican
nominee should not generally be em
barrassed. A majority of the dele
gates supported the contention of
several speakers, who declared that
to permit republican nominees to be
unopposed by progressive candidates
was equivalent to fusion with the re
publicans and voted lor the allegi
ance, resolution.
The regular republican candidates
for congressmen in the second and
third districts were considered pro
gressive, and no nominations were
therefore made against them.
Presidential electors D. J. Kella-
her of Portland, W. K. Newell of
Gaston, A. K. Ware of Med ford, Levi
W. Myers- of Portland and L. H. Mc-
Mahon of Salem.
United States senator A. E. Clark
of Portland. The vote on senator
stood: Clark 51, Bourne 39, Mul
key 30.
Congressmen First district, John
W. Campbell of Douglas county; sec
ond district, none; third district,
none.
Secretary of state B.. E. Kennedy.
Supreme judge Geo. W. Joseph
of Portland.
Railroad Commissioner Robert
Service of Baker county.
John Nickle, republican candidate
for state dairy and food commission
er, received the progressive nomina
tion. The platform . adopted was the
"confession of faith" in its entirety
and was not read before adoption.

Effects of Recent Trial Tell On the
Mate of Train Robber.
Speculations as to the continued
absence of Mrs. Wells Lounsberry
ceased Monday wherf she returned to
her home at Central Point. The wife
of the Rogue River valley train rob
ber had been over a week on the way
here from Topeka, and neighbors
had driven to town to meet every"
train for several days, thinking each
day that she was to arrive. The de
lay is explained by the fact that she
stopped over in Montana to visit rel
atives. Mrs. Lounsberry plainly showed
the effects of her recent trials and
has not been bothered by newspaper
interviews. Her two children are ig
norant of the crimes laid at the door
of the father and believe that he is
merely ill and will soon return. As
to future plans, Mrs. Lounsberry Is
not decided, but she has told neigh
bors that she will remain at the farm
for some time. Neighbors have been
caring for the chickens and stock.
MetroHilitau Concert Entertainers.
The concert given at Elks Temple
last evening by the Metropolitan
Concert Entertainers was one ot the
best entertainments given in Ashland
for some time. From the rendition
of the aria from "Spring Maid," with
which the program opened, to the
encore following the rendition of
"Ave Maria," the closing number.,
the closest attention of the audience
was held. Ingvald Wicks is certain
ly one of the rising violinists of the
day and received encores for every
number. Miss Grace Rossaen Is a
dramatic reader of unusual range of
talent, rendering comio, dialect and
tragic selections with equally good
effect. Miss Hazel Folsoni, the lyric
soprano, fully demonstrated her abil
ity to render classic and operatic mu
sic In an artistic manner, yet had the
good judgment to intersperse theni
with the old-time ballads and child
songs which won the hearts of her
hearers. Miss Anna MaeLafferty
proved a most excellent accompanist
as well as a pianist of merit in solo
work.
