U. S. Engineers
Inspect Harbor
The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors working under direc
tion of the War Department of the
United States Government will prob
ably vi6it Ashland between the twen
tieth and the twenty-fifth of August.
They will at that time be on the Pa
cific Coast to look into the matter of
building a harbor at Crescent City
California that would serve the whole
of Southern Oregon.
These distinguished officials have
been invited to Ashland by the Com
mercial Club but have written Secre
tary Seager that they doubt the possi
bility of making a stop here, owing
to lack of time. Led by Grants Pass,
however, the local club will make an
effort to have them stay over an ex
tra day in order to see this wonderful
valley and ' its principal towns and
rural development in order that they
may be convinced that a harbor is a
necessity.
The War Department and its Board
of Engineers is willing to be shown
and for that reason the engineers are
visiting the coast after having the
commercial importance of this region
laid before them at a meeting in
Washington City last April at which
delegates from this region and Cres
cent City ably presented its claims
to recognition along this line. Grants
Pass is naturally the leader in the
movement from the fact that she has
already projected and Btarted to con
struct a railroad to Crescent City that
will connect Southern Oregon with
the coast and place her in position to
profit by the general uplift which
must come when the Panama Canal
becomes actually a highway of traf
fic.
The Board of Engineers will arrive
at Eureka California on the twentieth.
They will be met there by autos from
Crescent City and shown the proposed
harbor site and the surrounding coun
try. Their next objective point will
be Grants Pass with a view of the in
tervening country and its mineral
and timber and agricultural wealth
together with the railroad now partly
built. Grants Pass citizens will see
to It that they are transported from
Crescent City by auto.
Ashlaud and Medford have been in
vited to assist in this regard by fur
nishing one or more autos each
captained by their best boosters in
order that the engineers may gain a
comprehensive knowledge of the
country which a harbor at Crescent
City would serve. The plan as out
lined by the boosters at Grants Pass
would be to have the engineers use a
different auto from each succeeding
Stop Along the route in order that
all might oecome acquainted with the
boosters from the diftereut sections
and their respective territories. 1
Shrlners of Hillah Temple at Ash
land held a big ceremonial at Marsh
field August eleventh and ninny Ash
land citizens of prominence are
there. An effort will be made to get
some of these to stay over and repre
sent Ashland in the auto train which
will bring the engineers to the Rogue
Valley. The matter of properly repre
senting Southern Oregon and hpr de
velopment needs to these men is one
of great importance which Ashland
fchould certainly promote in every way
possible. An outlet to the coast prac
tically half way between Portland and
San Francisco is one of the biggest
things now projected for the develop
ment of Southern Oregon.

Jacksonville ToBt: Mrs. John
Lawry of Sanborn, North Dakota, but
who has been spending the winter at
Iong Beach, California, and Panaca,
Nevada, stopped over in Ashland to
vhilt her granddaughter, Mrs. Nellie
Morcora, and albo her two great
granddaughters, Etta and Margaret
Morcom. Then came to Jacksonville
to visit a few days with Misses Laura
and Cora Thomas and James Francis,
her granddaughters and grandson.
Mrs. Lawry was accompanied by her
son, Edward Lawry, and daughter,
Miss Rose. Many friends culled on
the grand old lady, who will be
eighty-two years old in September,
but some think she must be mistaken
by twenty years, as Bhe looks no more
than sixty. All were greatly taken
up with our beautiful little town and
regretted the short visit very much
and hope to return sometime in the
near future.
Roseburg Review: J. M. Engle,
one of the best known men in Doug
las county and owner of the beautiful
Englewood ranch near Kellogg, died
at the Good Samaritan. Hospital at
Portland Monday afternoon, follow
ing an operation.
Mr. Engle was about fifty-one
years of age and a native of Pennsyl
vania. He came west in early days
and first located in California, where
he was active in various business pur
suits for a number of years. Leaving
there, he went to Ashland, Oregon,
where he remained until about eight
years ago, when he came to Douglas
county. He later purchased the beau
tiful Englewood ranch, which has
since been highly improved through
hi sefforts. He was a member of the
Ashland lodge of Elks and was very
popular in fraternal circles. Other
than leaving a wife Mr. Engle is sur
vived by four children, who are John
J. Engle of Chlco. California, Mrs.
Hugh Miller of Kellogg and Mrs.
Harry E. George and Miss Margarite
Engle of Berkeley, California. John
Engle arrived here this morning to
be present at his father's funeral.
Mr. Engle had been suffering from
a serious afflicition for about eigh
teen months, and about a year ago
he went to Portland and underwent
an operation. He returned to his
ranch at Kellogg and appeared to be
enjoying good health. About six
months ago he suffered a relapse,
nowever, and since then he has been
feeble. A few days ago he decided
to undergo another operation, and to
that end he left for the Oregon me
tropolis last Friday.
The death of Mr. Engle removes
from Douglas county another man of
sterling character. He was a person
who believed in development of the
resources of his home locality, and
to that end he spent thousands of
dollars during the past few years.
He was a man well met and stood
high in business circles. He was hon
est and UDrieht in hla dpnlinp-a and
was ever bent on helping those who
could not help themselves. Mr. En
gle was a person possessed of high
ideals and was a true frl
whom he met. His death came at a
time when he was about to retire and
enjoy the fruits of nis many years
of strenuous effort. He had a hoist
of close friends throughout the coun
ty, who regret to learn of his sudden
demise.

Grasshoppers In
Klamath County
Grasshoppers have been devastat
ing the crops of certain parts of the
Klamath country. Professor Wilson,
entomologist of the Oregon Agricul
tural College, went to the help of the
farmers. Poisoning, draceing and
hopper dozers are remedial measures.
Bankers, railway officers, business
men and professional men joined
hands in Kansas last vmf ei?ht
the pests and saved millions of dol
lars' worth of crops.
Poisoned bran mash was found the
most satisfactory remedy under
Klamath conditions Tta tyio-ii
" uiai,ci laio
are cheap, easily put together, easily
nppueu unu me poison is quite ef
fective. The only exceptions to the
success of the treatment- la tii v.
hoppers that are in the moulting
stage and refuse to eat much of anything.
AS mOSt SUCCcSSfullv llHod in tha
recent raid, the mash was prepared as
follows: Bran fiftv
green or white arsenic, twn nmmria
salt one pound, syrup one quart, lem
on extract one ounce, water to make
a inorougniy soaked mixture.
The mixture was applied by broad
casting, warning in tne center of a
iweniy or tniriy loot strip and sow
ing both to the rieht nnrl tn the loft
This was done early in the morning,
since the bran retains the moisture
loneer then and th voilne- hnnnern nn
beginning to feed eat the poisoned
Dan greeany. After the bran loses
its moisture ana after the young in
sects have eaten well of plant food
the bran has less attraction. It takes
several hours for the poison to com
plete Its work, but within a day or
two after it has been eaten the grass
hoppers are dead. Only a flake or
so is requirea to Kill tne young nop-
per wnen hungry.
Thursday, August 13, 1914
Oregon timbermen have asked
Governor West to exercise the right
granted him by the legislature of
1911 to close the hunting season on
account of dryness of the woods and
the danger of forest fires. The gov
ernor has taken the matter under
advisement and may close the season
until after the fall rains begin.
Word comes from Grldley Califor
nia of the death from whooping
cough of the little Beven-months-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Oien.
Mr. Oien was formerly chief of police
of Ashland and Mrs. Oien is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Barney on Ohio

city employed man to live in the suburbs or country.

W. C. T. U. Meetings.
Tuesday, the 11th, the local W. C.
T. U. held their first of the season
"open-air" meeting in the park. As
usual, the session was opened with
song, Scripture reading and prayer.
Miss Naomi Wisler favored us with
an appropriate and pleasing selection
as a solo. We are sorry she is so
soon to leave us. So often she has
contributed to the success of our
meetings by the use of her voice and
her pleasing personality,
Mr. Greer was next called upon
and delivered a most helpful address.
He also commentel on the achieve
ments of the W. C. T. U. and ex
pressed appreciation of the good
work accomplished by that organiza
tion, both at home and abroad. The
broad view of the issues of the cam
paign given by Mr. Greer was both
appropriate and instructive, being
especially helpful at this time. The
ladies gave a unanimous vote in fa
vor of having the address published
in full In our city papers, but Mr.
Greer was not altogether agreed.
However, we shall still hope to some
day see it in print, that all the state
may read and be helped thereby.
Watch for announcement of next
W. C. T. U. meeting to be he.J two
