Joyed another of their good times in
Chautauqua park, in the nature of a
picnic supper in honor of Mr. and
Mrs. Marble, who are to leave Tues
day for their old home in Nebraska.
The Marbles will be greatly missed
by this organization socially and
otherwise, as Mrs. Marble has been
captain of the degree staff for a year
or more and her services, so cheerful
ly rendered, have been more than
appreciated by those who had the
pleasure of working with her. After
the well-filled baskets were emptied,
speeches were made by different
ones,, with responses by both Mr. and
Mrs. Marble, and at this time they
presented the lodge with a beautiful
framed picture of one of Ashland's
beauty spots, which shows the real
artistic work of Mrs. Marble. The
painting is to be hung in the rest
room that is now being fitted up in
the remodeled Odd Fellows hall. The
crowd seemed averse to breaking up
and it was nearly 10 o'clock when
they took "the Marbles" home.

All the church societies of the city
enjoyed a fine trip to Mount Ashland
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Most
of the party. left Friday evening and
reached Long's Cabin for the night's
camping place. Then, in the small
hours of the morning, most of them
started on up to the top, with the
intention of reaching it to see the
sunrise. Many reached the top by
4 o'clock in the morning, but the sun
rose behind a haze and the effect was
not as beautiful as might have been
expected after such a hard climb, j dered
However, as soon as the hazy clouds
drifted away the sight was beautiful.
By 6:30 a. m. sixty had registered
in the book on the summit, while by
1:30 p. m. eighty-seven has signed
their names. The afternoon was
spent in having a good time on top
of the mountain, Insliding on the
snow, shooting firecrackers and roll
ing rocks down the slopes.
At night the party camped on top
of the peak, and in the morning one
of the most novel Sunday school
meetings one could imagine was held
on top of the mountain, far above the
surrounding country, and it truly in
spired the speakers to beautiful
thoughts and words. Thirty-five at
tended the session.
ThoBe who took the trip report one
of the finest times they have ever
! enjoyed. Of all those that started,
every one got to the top.
The only accident that happened
during the trip was that which befell
Dale Baughniari, who dislocated his
hip and suffered terribly. However,
he was taken on a horse down to
Long's Cabin and from there was
brought on to town in Rev. Schwim
ley's buggy. During the trip down
his hip slipped back into place, but
the strained ligaments made it very
painful.
It was one of the most successful
Fourth of Julys that has ever been
planned by the churches of the city.
Everything was perfect. No one was
uncomfortable or did not enjoy a
good night's rest.
Those who had reached the top by
6:30 a. m. Saturday morning were
Bill Holmes, LeRoy Ashcraft, Frank
Little Ivan O'Donohue, Edmond Bar

A fine program was given at the
Congregational church Sunday even
ing, when a sacred concert was ren
dered under the direction of Mrs.
Marie Christian Watkins.
The program opened with the vol
untary, by Mrs. Drake and Rev. Strat
ton, the former at the piano and the
latter at the organ. Following this
was a processional and hymn by the
congregation. A fine anthem, much
appreciated, was "Jesus Knows It
All," after which C. H. Willison ren-
a solo, "Peace, Troubled
Heart. A very entertaining number
followed, a duet by Leslie Schwlmley
and Donald Dickerson, which they
sang very nicely. Next was an an
them by the choir, entitled "My Heart
With Love Inflame," a selection writ
ten by Fillmore. Harold Huntley
gave a solo, "Hope Shall Lead Me
On," in his rich bass voice which
pleases the congregation. Following
the solo the male quartet sang
"Savior, Comfort Me," by Gottschalk,
and It was certainly appreciated.
One of the best numbers on the
program was the duet by Lloyd Strat-
ton and Harold Huntley. Mrs. J. H
McGee sang a solo in her fine clear
voice. A duet followed by Mr. and
Mrs. R. G. Walker, after which Lloyd
Stratton gave a selection, a solo en
titled "Morning and Afternoon.'
Mrs. Marie Christian Watkins was the
next on the program, entrancing the
audience wit hone of her delightful
solos.
Before the closing number, which
was a hymn by the congregation and
choir, an anthem was sung, "Hark!
Ten Thousand Harps."
The Congregational church Is to be
congratulated on the fine musical tal
ent which it possesses and the fine
program.
audience with one of her delightfu
The succesp of the church in the
way of music is due largely to the
splendid instruction of Marie ChrlB
tian Watkins, who has spared no ef
fort to accomplish that end.

Freeman Returns
From Green Springs
All who are Interested In the class
of 1914 will be glad to learn that
Charles Freeman is in the city for a
few days, having arrived last Thurs
day. Freeman has been working In
the hay fields at the Banta ranch,
about seventeen miles from here. He
made the trip both ways on his wheel
and found traveling good. He said
he tied a "young tree" on behind his
wheel to "cause a little friction" go
ing down Green Spring mountain. He
plans on returning to Klamath coun
ty this week, where he will secure
another Job In that part of the coun
try haying. He intends to go by way
of Ager, crossing over the Slsklyous.
He Informed the Tidings that he met
Fred Garrett (alias Dingy) over on
Green Spring working on the Holt
ranch. "Dingy" was astride of
bucky broncho and' wore chaps, and
on the whole looked very cattle
puncherlfled, the astounded "Chow"
hardly recognizing his old classmate.
I Freeman worked on the Banta
ranch, owned by C. W. Banta, the
Oregonlan man here. Harry Banta
Is running the ranch now. The Ban
tag are what might be called 'the
"goat kings" of southern Oregon
having some 1,500 head. They are

gon last spring and drove over to pas
ness to its greatest explosion, I will
try to describe yesterday's eruption
which occurred about 11:15 a. m.
We were notified by telephone that
Mount Lassen was in. eruption. On
reaching the street, where we had an
excellent view, a most wonderful py
rotechnic display met our vision. The
black smoke, lava and steam was
shooting upwards to a distance of a
mile or more. There was a series of
explosions of tar-black smoke at in
tervals of every few minutes, num
bering eight or ten in the course of
half an hour. Then the black smoke
drifted away, leaving a clear streak
of steam which shot upward like a
fountain spray about one hundred
feet high.
It was reported to be the heaviest
eruption yet witnessed, and while it
belched forth much lava and smoke
no blaze came from it yesterday, but
there was another, which occurred
about 5 o'clock this morning, which
poured forth fire as well as asheB.
While the people of Red Bluff look
on In awe-stricken wonder, they have
no fear, as it is fifty miles from the
peak and no particle of lava or ashes
has yet made its appearance here.
MR3. E. J. SEXSMITH.
C. D. Wood, his two daughters,
Mr. Anderson and Miss Jean Ander
son went to lithla springs Friday to
camp until after the Fourth. Mr.
Wood and Mr. Anderson left the
springs early Saturday morning for
Grizzly Peak, where they took many
pictures of the surrounding country.
The day being clear, afforded them a
fine view of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Pitt.
At night fireworks were set off from
the peak, which were enjoyed by
many citizens of Ashland.'
Many Picnic in
Canyon Park
Ashland park and canyon were
used and appreciated by many on the
Fourth. Besides there being many
picnickers in the park itself, all the
way up the canyon one could see par

as far as Long's Cabin. It was est!
