Vesuvius Fine The six-act, three-reel feature pic ture on exhibit at the Dreamland this evening is certainly one of the best ever produced and deserves the at tention of every citizen of Ashland who is interested in history. With out doubt the most dramatic event of the world was the .destruction of Pompeii in 79 A. D. by a terrific eruption of the volcano Mt. Vesuvius. Fifteen years previous this delightful cit yon the shore of the Bay of Na ples was rudely shaken and partially destroyed by an earthquake and the inhabitants were Just recovering from the effects of it and rebuilding their public buildings and beautiful homes when the rage of Vesuvius was vented upon them. The volcano for hours poured forth volumes of smoke, hot flames shot up to the heavens and a steady downpour of clouds of hot dust, stone and lava kept falling on the doomed city until it was buried under 28 feet of cin ders, stone and lava, and so com pletely obliterated that all traces of its location even were lost for nearly seventeen centuries. Many of the in habitants escaped, but a larger per centage perished. The eruption was accompanied by frequept earthquakes and to add to the horrors a terrible storm raged for hours. It happened while most of the inhabitants were attending the games at the amphi theatre and came upon them so sud denly they were almost paralyzed with fear. The city was shrouded in darkness and even the sea had re reded, so the thousands who sought escape by means of it in their super stitious fear returned to the city, only to be destroyed by the foul poi son and vapors of the air and a hun dred other agents of death provoked by . the eruption. Lord Bulwer Lytton in his famous novel, "The Last Days of Pompeii," immortalized the event, and, using data obtained from scientific re search and investigation; peopled it with his Imagination. Mr. George Jtlelne with his photo-dramatization of Lord Lytton's novel has done even more to recall it to modern amuse ment lovers. His picture of the erup tion gives a most impressive and vivid Idea of the awful magnitude of this world-famed catastrophe. This picture will be shown tonight, Fri day afternoon and evening. Kenneth Ye Dead. Kenneth Yeo, son of, Mr. and Mrs. Yeo of Williams creek, died at Grants Pass last night at the age of ten years. The remains were brought to Talent today and the funeral will be held there at a date not yet set. The lad is a grandson of George E. Yeo and a nephew of George H. Yeo and James A. Yeo. The bereaved family and relatives have the sympa thy of a large circle of friends. Suggests th Midway. He Have you read about this fight over the Hetch-Hetchy?

Superintendent Briscoe returned from his' northern tour last week ami delivered a talk upon his trip to the students- last Wednesday morninc;. Professor Briscoe visited fourteen schools in all, including several of the most important institutions of learning in the state of Oregon ami Washington, but he say3 that f-v lo cation, advantages in athletic fields an.! gjmiiasiunis, and various equip ments sird furnishings ha has 1'ounO none s uperior to Ashland school :m-1 but few schools that-have hetter buildings. He says that the drainage of the grounds of Ashland schools is far better than any in other Oregon or Washington schools and that stu dents are every bit as intelligent and Industrious as those of other schools. He quoted an instance in Tacoma where there are 1,750 students in one building and he states that the assembly room never has a teacher in charge of it and that there is complete order in that room at all times. This is unusual, of course, but there are a number of other schools that have just as striking qualities as this and Ashland has her share of them, states Mr. Briscoe. There are 300 students in Corvallis high school, 750 In Eugene, and about 2,000 In Lincoln high of Port land and also a Targe number in Se attle, but none can compare in some things with our Ashland school. There are many Japanese and Chi nese students in the northern schools who are being educated, but Mr. Briscoe states that he takes much more interest In educating and teach ing American-born students than he does foreigners. Ashland also of fers about the same course as other schools and if everything goes on well we will have courses in type writing, stenography and bookkeep ing as good as any other school next year. The musical program Wednesday morning was given by "Our Girls," who sang a couple of excellent selec tions for the benefit of the rest of the student body. The boys gave them a selection of rahs and Mr. Bris coe stated that even Tacoma couldn't beat them. The freshies have organized a shin ny team and are thinking of arrang ing games with the Belleview team, Miss Engle's sixth graders and Cap tain Brown's East Side football team. The senior debates were handed in promptly February 20 according to order and now Miss Wagner will be gin picking a class debating league. The Annual material is to be in by Monday, February 23, without fail, since a certain amount must be in the printers' hands at that date. Professor Moore permitted the physics students to correct a few quiz papers last Friday, and it was really remarkable how well the grades aver aged up. Cecil Grlsez has commenced high school duties as a soph and he will be a mighty welcome addition to the present basketball squad. Coach Klum hopes to use him in the Med ford games. Kenneth King missed the greater part of the .week's schooling last week on account of a serious illness. . The baseball season is coming! You can see It on all sides. Bats, gloves, balls are being used with un tiring vigor. The high school team promises to be a good one. The only thing no win doubt is the pitching staff, which is very doubtful with only one pitcher of any degree now In the school. We have a first-class catcher In Gravy Plymate and a good infield ought to be built up with such players as Kenneth Lilly, Cecil Grl sez, Neal Shinn, Ralph Harris and Howard Frame. Other promising material Includes "Babo" Van Dyke, "Chick" Farlow and Milton Fraley. Five veteran's of last year's team are left as a nucleus. Medford plays basketball here Fri day and Saturday nights and a cou ple of good games are promised. Medford is an old-time rival and the two teams are evenly matched. Buy your tickets at Rose Bros.' The senior poems were read in English class last Friday and a great deal of merriment was indulged In. Some of the most promising 'were Harold Merrill's poem on "The Cow" and Dorothy Lennart'a on the "Fac ulty." Charles Freeman read a few very personal limericks in "English class last week and It so happened that Charles was absent Friday afternoon from the same class, all of which was very lucky since three revenge limericks were composed against him and read in class. The literary society held its meet ing Friday with the lower Junior of ficials, Kenneth Lilly and Margaret Hodgson, In charge. The feature of the program was Kenneth Lilly's "Baseball Talk." The program was Ashland Visited.. By Journalist ; David Hicker and wife arrived at Ashland Saturday and remained till Wednesday.

He neglect ed to state his postoffice address, the ad giving the impression that it was probably Portland. The Tidings has been kept busy answering phoue calls, but at last found Mr. Mitchell's address to be Ashland. Small ads pay big dividends. Try and see for yourself.
