Ashland Fruit and Vegetables Are Unsurpassed Anywhere. We wish all those southern Cali fornians who have an idea that sec tion of the country produces wonder ful results in vegetation might 6ee the tomatoes and potatoes produced on Ora Angle's lot on Oak street, or some of the kind of turnips on dis play in the window of G. F. Billings' office, or could see the size and put their tooth over the tomatoes raised by George Eubanks, and they would forever hold their peace in discuss ing the fecundity of southern Cali fornia. What, man has done for that region in transforming a desert into - w. garden God has done for this in originally planting here a soil rich with nature's gifts and enough nat ural moisture to produce the great est vegetation on the face of the earth. The writer has said a hun dred times that the climate at Ash land, for those who have to live in the same house twelve months in the n beHt year, will beat anything that ca found in southern California a thou sand miles, and the soil here with half the tickling will produce all that the human heart can desire in the way of eatables and the flavor of the vegetables and fruits here com pared to the dry crackle and insipid ity of it there is as the pellucid wa ter of Ashland creek is to the mirky opacity of the waters of the Missouri river. HAD A STRENUOUS TRIP Mm. Alnutt Hd Quite an Experi ence in Trip From Crescent City Saturday. Mrs. Hattie Alnutt of this city had a memorable trip coming from Cres cent City to Grants Pass last Satur day. She came over in the auto stage. Two machines were run, the large one being a ?7,000 machine, without a top. She started in that but was shifted to the smaller, cov ered car when it began to rain. When some distance the other side of Kirbyville the large auto broke down and the passengers in the small ma chine were unloaded at Kirbyville, where they had to stay over night, while the machine returned to the assistance of its mate. They finally arrived in Grants Pass just in time to catch No. 13 for Ashland, reach ing here at 11:35 a. m. Her sons, Will Mitchell and Joe Alnutt, went to the motor expecting to meet her, and failing to find her phoned to Grants Pass and were informed that the stage was not yet in nor heard from. Joe Alnutt at once started for Grants Pass, meeting the train on Hvhich his mother was on en route. When he got there he could get no trace for some time of the autos or their drivers and telephoned Cres cent City relatives without result. Meantime Will Mitchell went to the afternoon train to meet Joe and failed to find him. Then, knowing Joe would not be home till midnight, he went to his mother's home and was surprised to find her there. Mr. Alnutt finally got home all right and the comedy of mischances was over. Mrs. Alnutt reports a very pleasant visit with relatives at Crescent City. The stage company at Grants Pass stated, that this would be the last trip over the route wih autos this year. j They had chains on all four wheels and then it was almost impossible to keep them from skidding the ma chine.

TO FACE GRAND JURY Wells Lounslerry, the Train Roblwr, Will Be Held to the Grand Jury at Jjenvenwortli. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 19. Wells Lounsberry, the Medford, Ore., ban dit, who was captured in North To peka on August 22, after holding up a Union Pacific mail car out of Kan sas City, will be held by the grand jury sitting at Leavenworth next week on a charge of train robbery. Lounsberry is not ready for trial in this term of United States district court, which opens in Leavenworth this week, and it is not probable that the prisoner will appear before the grand jury in person. Louns berry will be represented by his at torney, D. C. Tlllot8on. The prison er can be tried during the term of federal court, wihch opens in Topeka on November . 18, but may not be ready for a hearing before the open ing of the January term of federal court at Kansas City, Kan. It is ex pected that insanity will be the plea ! presented by counsel for Lounsberry, who is held in the county jail here. Officers Sanders and Wilt, who arrested Lounsberry early in the morning of August 22, after a des perate hand to hand struggle in a Pullman car in North Topeka, will go to Leavenworth tomorrow and appear as witnesses before the grand jury. Political Equality Needed. "Whatever may be the needs of our system of government, the one that stands out pre-eminently in my estimation is that of political equal ity for men and women. The ideal of democracy is the greatest vision of modern times, but it is a vision only half realized when the political existence of only half of the human race is recognized. It seems to me unjustifiable to pass any alws or in stitute and reforms affecting both men and" women, no matter how carefully the welfare of women may be considered, without allowing them to record their opinion in the same way as men. There is nothing that would raise the standard of the in dividual as quickly as direct respons ibility for, and the power of chang ing the laws which govern them. We who are engaged in the pursuit of 'votes for women' believe that every day that goes by leaving women politically unrecognized marks an arrest In the development of womanhood and a check in the progress of the race."
