Boost For New
Ceautauqua Building
Boost for a new Chautauqua build
ing! That will be the watchword
from now on. We must not let an
other session go by without having a
new and better auditorium for it to
take place in.
Monday afternoon a booster meet-,
lng was" held in the Chautauqua
building, and about three hundred
attended. G. F. Billings was the first
speaker and brought up the subject,
stating that It would take, as near
as he could find out, about (12,000
to erect a building suitable for the
programs to be held in. He suggest
ed one that would have good dress-
l lng rooms, an up-to-date stage, asbes
tos shingles, and planed lumber in
side, so that it could be freshened
with paint easily and at a scant cost.
Dr. Platenburg, the afternoon's
lecturer, gave a short talk, urging the
construction of a new auditorium, as
it is a great factor in the development
and broadening of th'e ideals of a
city and country.
The real treat of the meeting was
when Dr. Bell of Corvallis made an
address. He used to live in Ashland
forty-one years ago, and later dedi
cated the present building. His dry,
laughter-provoking and straight-to-
the point talk was very impressive.
He brought out what a great factor
the Chautauqua season would be in
connection with the springs. "Hold
on to your Chautauqua grounds. This
can be made the greatest Chautauqua
on the Pacific coast. Borrow every
cent. Build the structure. Bring in
the lithia springs. It will repay you
twenty-fold." Dr. Bell offered him
self to take $4,000 worth of bonds,
showing his faith in the venture. He
thought that it should be started the
first of September, so that the audi
torium could be used for other gath
erings, and as a social center of the
valley and city.
Nothing further was done at the
meeting, as there were very few bus!
ness men present. Talk it up. Dr.
Bell will deliver the dedication ad
dress on its completion.
Man Is Lost
Long in Caves
After being lost in the Marble
Caves for nineteen hours, part of
which time he was unconscious.
George E. Love of Portland reached
Grants Pass apparently little worse
for his experience.
Love, accompanied by Fred L.
Carlton, visited the caves during the
absence of the government guide,
they became separated in a winding
passage and Love wandered into the
grotto of the main trail. His light
blew out and by a misstep he fell
twenty feet into a hole.
Carlton made every attempt to find
him and, falling, made his way out
side, where he got the help of the
guide. Together they searched for
more than eight hours before finding
Love. Aside from a severe lacera
tion of his back, Love is in good con
dition. Carlton is the more worn
out of the two, from long search and
anxiety.
Carlton and Love are making a
trip on foot from Portland to the
Mexican ' border. They went to the
caves on Monday.
Blood Vessel
Bursts In Eyes
Louis Dodge had a near serious
accident last week, when, caused by
the strain of choking on a piece of
meat, the blood vessel burst in his
eyes. It did not hurt much at the
time, in fact he attended to business
for a while In the afternoon before
he knew that the vessel had bursted.
He was delivering some articles to
the Sanitarium and the doctor no
ticed the extreme redness of the eye
and called his attention to it. He is
now under treatment, but is able to
attend to business.
Chief Porter
Has Pneumonia
Chief Porter has been confined to
his bed with a slight attack of pneu
monia since last Tuesday. His con
dition was considered quite serious
for several days, but at the present
time he is on the rapid road to recov
ery. The sickness was caused from
exposure, and came on very sudden.
As a result he is said to have lost
twenty pounds in weight. We join
with many others In wishing him a
speedy recovery.
It is hard for congress to sympa
thize with the unemployed after such
a continuous performance.

Charles Conley is down to Medford
from the Applegate country for a few
days. He says the deer are plentiful
in that section of the country and
old-timers are expecting an extra
good hunting season. They are leav
ing the mountains at this time of the
year and are feeding in the glades
and drinking from the waters of the
larger streams. Mr. Conley says that
occasionally a deer may be seen
swimming the Applegate.
Harvesting Begins
At Jacksonville
The first threshing has begun in
the valley at Jacksonville, with the
Learned machine. They are working
this week with a crew of sixteen men.
The wheat crop all over the valley is
very fine and much heavier than last
year, the heads being long and the
grain yielding much more to the acre.
This year is anticipated to be one of
the greatest in the history of the
country. The railroads are doing
great planning to have plenty of cars
on the coast for grain service.
The Commercial Club is desirous
of obtaining good specimens of grains
and grasses for exhibit purposes. Will
those who have such kindly leave at
the Commercial Club rooms? tf
Phone news items to the Tidings.

Can State Saloons
"- Be Closed?
Assuming that it receives a ma
jority vote at the general election,
will the proposed statewide prohibi
tion constitutional amendment be of
any effect in closing the saloons in
Oregon? , ,
This question is being discussed
in Salem and well-known lawyers say
that it will. Of all the twenty-nine
general measures that will go on the
ballot, none will draw the fire of
clashing forces more than this one
aimed at the liquor business.
It Is pointed out that the proposed
amendment will not be effective be
cause it fails to provide any penalty
for violating the prohibition con
tained in the measure.
This feature was pointed out to
Joseph H. Albert of Salem, one of
the initiators of the measure, some
time before the completed petition
was filed. Mr. Albert took the mat
ter up with members of the commit
tee behind the amendment in Port
land, and it was evidently decided
that the amendment as drafted was
sufficient as no changes were made
The measure adds section 36 to
article 1 of the constitution, which
says: "From and after January 1,
1916, no intoxicating Liquors shall be
manufactured or sold within this
state, except for medicinal purposes
upon prescription of a licensed phy
sician, or for scientific, sacramental
or mechanical purposes."
The next and concluding paragraph
says: "This section is self-executing,
and all provisions of the constitution
and laws of the state and of the
charters and ordinances ' of all cities,
towns and other municipalities there
in, in conflict with the provisions of
this section, -are hereby repealed."
While this paragraph says that
the amendment is "self-execut,ing,"
attorneys say that the self-executing
clause means nothing. They ask wtat
will be done in case saloons continue
to run after the amendment is adopt
ed, as the amendment provides for no
penalties and repeals all other laws
in confyct with it.
On the other hand, other lawyers
contend that the amendment does not
repeal the portions of the local op
tion law providing penalties for the
sale of . liquor in dry territory, and
they 'say that these penalties would
apply in case, the statewide ..prohibl-
Itlon amendment is adopted.
Old "Pioneer

William M. Mathes, one of the old
est pioneers of Oregon, died Sunday

street, at the age of eighty-four years,

around him.
The services will be held from the
family residence, 115 North Main,
Tuesday afternoon at 1:30. . All
friends cordially invited. Interment
will be in the Phoenix cemetery.

Nomenclature of Ashland and Vicin
ity. After reading the numerous able
articles published in the Forum, sug
gesting various romantic and eu
phonious names for the many points
of Interest in and about Ashland, it
would seem not only audacious but
uselss for one with so limited a vo
cabulary as my own to attempt to
stem the rising tide of romanticism
and (shall I sny?) sentlmentalUm;
nevertheless, the feeling within me
is too strong to be resisted, and I
take up my pen in defense of the old
names, the older and more character
istic of the west, the better.
It seems to me that In retaining
the old, rugged names like Ashland
Butte, Wagner Butte, Grizzly Peak
and Roper's Bunion we honor the
pioneers who gave the names, and
who are so fittingly represented by
these grand old peaks.
If we need a few Lovers' Lanes
and Sylvan Dells, by all means let us
have them, but let us not "remove
the old landmarks" nor' discard the
original names.
If there are others with a feeling
similar to mine, please let us boar
from you on this subject.
