General passenger agents, to the number of 100 or more, of the lead ing railway systems throughout the country, passed through Ashland early Tuesday afternoon, on a special, southbound from a tour which em braced Pacific northwest territory, on an extended itinerary from New New York to San Francisco, coming and returning by various routes in order to include the greatest divers ity of scenic attractions, and at the 6ame time visiting as many as possi ble of the most important terminals. Charles S. Fee, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters at San Francisco, had personal supervision of the com fort of the excursionists, assisted by John M. Scott, general passenger agent of the lines in Oregon) who ac companied the party Into California territory. The genial and omnipres ent W. H. Jenkins, traveling passen ger agent, escorted the bunch south ward as far as the Oregon boundary, at which point Assistant Superinten dent Fitzgerald assumed jurisdiction. Quite a number of the excursionists were accompanied by their families. As guests of the Southern Pacific Company these travelers were shown every attention. The train equip ment was strictly first class, and at San Francisco, where the party sep arated at will to visit various por tions of California, the company ten dered the use of its Overland Limit ed, Golden State Limited, The Owl, The Lark, and Shore Line Limited, in order that the railway agents might be accorded every convenience. Another big excursion passed through yesterday afternoon, also southbound, accommodating about 100 members of the American Geo graphical Society and a number of foreign guests, who have been tour ing the continent and - stopped in southern Oregon a brief season in order to visit Crater Lake. With the exception jot New York Central bag gage cars, this train equipment was entirely Pullman and loaded to the gunwales with scientists exclusively, many of them coming from the four quarters of -the globe. This tour is under the auspices of Raymond & Whitcomb, personally conducted- by Eugene D. Hussey of Boston. With Ben C. Sheldon, George Putnam and Professor O'Gara of Medford, as pilots, the entire party made the trip to Crater Lake without a mishap in i automobiles. Returning, they made the' trip in four hours and 55 minutes from the rim of the lake to their Pullmans f. o. b. Southern Pa cific right-of-way, on which line and connections the party is en route to New York city via San Francisco. These specials the former one particularly were met by citizens with autos, who took the transient visitors out for a spin over the Boul evard and Plaza, a few of the ma chines hitting the scenic drives un der high pressure. Local Agent Kra mer took a hand in perfecting these arrangements, while the Commercial Club saw to It that the usual gifts of fruits and flowers were forthcom ing. The size and quality of fruits In this section were a revelation to the geographers, to -foreigners even more so than to those of the manner born. When gazing upon some ex tra fine specimens of luscious Bart lett pears, the gift ot Ed Estes, a phlegmatic Teuton exclaimed "Mein Gott- An Italian count was speech- ess; a mercurial Frenchman mur mured "Mon Dieu;" while a stalwart Scandinavian capped the climax of the whole polyglot conversation by saying, "Ingen spog da billagiste de vorae al fer salge," or words to that effect. Not less appreciated than the fruits were two huge bouquets of magnificent asters and dahlias, in all the glory of their autumnal foli age, the gift to railway men and scientists respectively of Mrs. J. R. Tozer. PANAMA EXPOSITION PROGRESS. Director of Works Outlines Progress Made So Far. San Francisco, Sept. 18. Harris D. H. Connick, director of works of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, states: Up to the. present time, the activi ties of the buildings and grounds committee have been, In addition to the architectural plans, largely con fined to acquiring the necessary lands and preparing plans and speci fications for tue engineering worn, the construction of sewers, the con struction of water suQply system and of fire protection system and the con struction of underground conduits for carrying the electric light and power ducts. The amount of money expended on that work will be some where in the neighborhood ot $3, 000,000. Practically all of the lands are secured now. There are a few suits pending, but they will probably be closed up within the course of the next few months. The underground work will start immediately. The plans and specifi cations for the sewers to be built in the amusement section are practical ly complete and within the next thir ty days bids will be called for this work. The same is true- of the electric lighting system in the amusement section and the water supply system for the entire grounds. The fresh water supply system is laid out and bids will be called for the materials of pipe, valves and fit tings inside of thirty days, and as soon as that material arrives , the work of putting it in the ground will be taken up. The sewer work is to be cut up into several, small contracts in order to expedite its construction and start them all at once, or all within a week or so of one another. There has to be a system for the distribution of compressed air to be installed and there will be a number of exhibits in the various buildings that will require compressed air for operation. It will also be necessary to install a system for the distribution of steam. In the machinery building, transportation, mines and metallur gy building, it will require steam for the operation of exhibits and also for heating purposes. We have been at work for some time on the planting end of the ex position. At the present time, John McLaren has over forty thousand trees and plants for the exposition. These have been purchased from various nurseries up and down -the coast and a number he has started himself. These are to be immediate ly moved into the exposition and into the nursery, which is to be located in the Presidio. We are going to mark off the areas devoted to parks and immediately Mr. McLaren is to take up the question of planting in these parks. ASHLAND ARMORY NOW SURE (Continued from Page One.) TrmiKt'ewd to Grants Pass. Lawrence B. Rich, the Klamath Falls shoe merchant who is accused of polygamy by Miss Jessie Layton, who has been known as his wife since last February, was taken to Grants Pass, Ore., for trial in Josephine county. Announcement of this was made recently, and coincident with it came the announcement that Rich would drop his ideas of obtaining his re lease on a habeas corpus writ and would not fight his transfer to Grants Pass, where his alleged Ille gal marriage with Miss Layton took place. Rich repeatedly refused to make any comment regarding the so-called wife No. -, or to add in any way to the statement made last week. you Different, "All the world loves a lover know."

Hillman of Hope Villa, La., the discoverer of Crater Lake, in which the writer re calls his trip trip to the lake 59 years ago, and the impressions it gave him at that time. Hillman was one ofa prospecting party hunting for valu able minerals in1852. and happened to be foremost of the party when the lake was found. In those days he was In business In Jacksonville, Ore., which was the principal trading point of the region, there being no white people in the vicinity. Mr. Hillman was at that time in business at Jack sonville with Alexander Martin, Sr., now president of the First National Bank of Klamath Falls, to whom he refers in his letter as "Jerry." Among other things he says in his letter: "I was very much pleased with yours of July 13, as Jerry had men tioned you in one of his letters to me, and the postal cards were re minders of a day long past, only there- was no. hotel at that point when I first saw it. Wizard Island looks very natural to me, as every thing connected with the discovery does. "There is one thing connected with the discovery 1 have never mentioned in writing about it, although I have often spoken of it in telling of the peculiarity of the lake, and others may have Imagined the same thing that all of our party did. We rode past Wizard Island, leaving it on our right, looking for an outlet to the lake. I was In the lead, and although the snow was down to the water in many places on the banks, yet oppo site the island the land was bare, and just after passing the island I thought my mule flinched as though his feet hurt. I placed my hand down below my knee and called to the boys, telling them we were near fire, as perceptible heat was arising from the surface, it might have been imagination on my part, but, if so, the entire party had the same imag ination, for they all agreed with me. "I never mentioned the wact in writing about the lake, for fear or being called a visionary, and it looked so visionary that I hated to write about it, for I knew it must have, been thousands of years since the lake was formed and the.coolinc process should have been complete Dy mat time. i uiao uiinit i was the nrst man who ever dipped water from th head of the canyon on Rouge (evi dently meant for Rogue) river. It was on our return trip. This, think, is the first time I have ever written about it. but I have often told about it, as it had some funny features connected with it. in which J, Loudon, or Rube, as he was gen erally Known, was concerned. If von never knew Rube 1 think Jerry could ten you some or his peculiarities, al though it was while out in the moun tains that he showed to the best ad vantage.

If it is Tidings work It 1b the best, that several of the attorneys of the city had advised him that the pro ceeding was legal. Councilman Irwin stated that he felt for the taxpayers as they had been overburdened, but he did not believe the people should hold the cent so close to the eye that they could not see the dollar. The tax would not cost the average taxpayer more than the cost of a few moving picture show tickets. Upon ron can being ordered. Councilman Cunningham alone voted no, accompanying his vote with an explanation which he wished made a part of the record, stating that in justice to the taxpayers he believed that the armory should be re-advertised; that he had had no chance to know that the petitioners represent ed a majority of the taxpayers, and that he wished further time to ex amine the petition. That while he realized the necessity and importance of the armory to the people of the city of Ashland, that realizing the condition of the city's finances and the question of the legality of the donation be could not see his way clear to support' the motion. Councilmen Butler, Worth, Gowdy and Irwin voted yes and the motion was declared adopted. Mr. Mullit, In his telegram to Ad jutant General Finzer, was asked to state that it was the wish of the council that the contract be let to the local bidder, Charles H. Veghte. The fire and water committee re ported favorably on claims for re fund of water rent to E. E. Cook and T. W. Hudson, and reports were ac cepted and recorder ordered to draw warrant for same. The fire and water committee re ported unfavorably upon the petition for water mains on Beach street and on motion the report was adopted. The same committee recommended that the irrigation contract with W. W. Boyd be annulled. This was a case where the land was not used and no water used, nor had any money been paid on the contract. The fire and water committee also reported recommending that the Stephenson building on East Main street, recently gutted by fire, be condemned and ordered removed within ten days. After some discus sion regarding the situation, the re port was approved and the recorder instructed to prepare the proper no tices. In the matter of a culvert peti tioned for on Oberlin street, the street committee reported favorably and. the street commissioner was in structed to install same. The street committee also reported recommending that curbs and gutters be not constructed on Mountain ave nue this year because of the remon strance of taxpayers. Report' ap proved. A petition had been presented from property owners on -a portion of Auburn street asking that 10 feet be vacated on each side of the street. In view of the fact that that portion of the street was but 10 feet wider than the adjacent portion, the com mittee recommended that but five feet on each side be vacated. The re port was approved and the recorder directed to institute necessary pro ceedings. The street committee asked fur ther time in the matter of the open ing of Bridge street, which was granted. The electric light committee re ported favorably upon the petition of the employes having offered to Jo the work of construction without ad ditional cost to the city it it would furnish the materials to the amount of $55. A lease to Thomas Simpson for a piece of ground on the Goble place for a powder magazine was presented for the approval of the council and was ordered executed by the mayor and recorder. , The usual grist of claims which had been approved by the various committees were ordered paid. The claims of E. G. Owen for $2 for refund of water rent and of Dr. Gregg for $4 for professional ser vices were referred to' the fire and water committee. The official bond of Fred Rose- crans, as supennienaeni or water works, in the amount of $1,000, with Thomas H. Simpson and E. F. Smith as sureties, was approved. Mayor Neil presented the names of Mrs. H. S. Mullit. Mrs. C. W. Nims and Mrs. R. L. Burdic to succeed themselves as members of the library board for three years. On motion the appointments were confirmed. In the matter ot the paving assess ment against the Smith property at Mountain, avenue and B street, which had been hanging fire for some time. it was ordered that the council meet in committee or the wnoie at id o'clock this morning to proceed to the property and try to straighten out the tangle. The fire and water committee was authorized to sell 300 feeor less of damaged water pipe 10 ueorge Stephenson for 25 cents per foot, the pipe to be selected by the water superintendent. The council then adjourned until next regular meeting.

CHINA PHEASANTS INCREASE. Grouse Are Especially Plentiful ' in Northern Linn County. Albany, Ore. With a closed sea son last year, China pheasants have been increasing In number rapidly and farmers report that the birds are becoming plentiful in this part of the state. There is no open season for them this year either and it is ex pected that they will be numerous in 1913. when the ban will be lifted unless the present law is modified by the next legislature.

With a ton of fire works this city has begun a battle against the thousands of blackbirds that have infested the great elms and made the streets 'here dangerous and unsightly. Professor L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden, told the city officials that roman candles would drive them out. Recently four men spent several hours firing the candles singly and by volleys into the trees. As the flying tail" of fire swept through the trees the birds fairly screamed at their disturbers. A few took wing and flew to nearby trees, but most of them had their roosts and chattered noisily. - Finally the firing sqi.ad gave up the effort. Scale receipts at Tidings office.
