ASHLAND Rifle Team Goes to Clackamas Range The rifle team of the first com pany, C. A. R., of 'Ashland left this morning for Clackamas for the an nual competitive match held between the various military organizations of the state. ' The rifle range at Clackamas is one of the best equipped in the west and September 3 will be held the western divisional match between picked teams from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Ne vada, California, Hawaii and the reg ular army and navy. The twelve men making the highest Bcores at the state shoot will bo selected to 'represent Oregon in the western divisional shoot. The Ashland company is at a dis advantage in not having a rifle range near enough to town to be of much use. The range at present is along the top of the hill above the Square Deal Orchards Company on Grizzly Peak. The Ashland team is unusually strong, as all of the boys have been on it at least two years. They ex pect to bring home the bacon. The team is as follows: Sergeant J. Q. Adams, Edmund Hadfield, Charles Crouch, with G. L. Irwin and Fred King as alternates. Hair Goods.

Chairman Greer Back From Frisco Chairman Greer of the springs wa ter commission returned from San Francisco Sunday morning, where he had been for the past week looking after springs matters. The state of the bond market is such, occasioned by the European war, that no bonds are being handled anywhere. The feeling in San Francisco seems to be that within a few weeks finances will loosen up bo that bonds may be han dled. The Southern Pacific Company is taking a lively interest in the Ash land project and is offering its assist ance to the commission in trying to dispose of the bonds. The commls sion has out several lines, any of which may result in a sale of the bonds in the near future, although at this time no definite plans have been arranged. Two Tons of Mail By Parcel Post Two tons of mail In two days is the latest record-breaker of the local postoffice. In one day last week sev enty peach boxes were shipped and seventy-six followed the next day. The mall had to be carted to the de pot in the truck. This shows to what extent the fruit growers of the valley are using the parcel post as a cheap and convenient method of transport ing their fruit. The parcel post has been working out much better than was expected by some skeptical per sons, the rates having been contlnu-j ally lowered since its establishment.

TIDINGS 1 Oregon's Mineral Output Increasing The United States Geological Sur vey at Washington has finished com piling the figures regarding Oregon's yield of gold, Bilver, copper and lead during 1913, and the statement shoe's an increase of more than 100 per cent over the product of the previous year. The total yield was valued at $1,746, 402 in 1913, as compared with $S49, 886 in 1912. Gold, silver and lead showed a marked increase, and cop per an extraordinary falling off, the 1913 production' of the latter metal being only 43,330 pounds as com pared with 260,429 pounds the previ ous year. In the production of gold Baker county led the procession with $1, 373,480, Malheur county was second with $82,041 and Grant county third with $63,032. The gold output in these three counties in 1913 showed an increase of $972, "0G. Josephine county led the state in the production of copper with 32,rr.S pounds, about 80 per cent of the total yield. Lane county produced the most lead, 59, 204 pounds.

Two Anested For Hunting Andrea Blanchini and Tony Marcln were brought before Justice of the Peace Thomas today and fined $25 and costs, as punishment for a viola tion of 'the game laws of Oregon. They had been hunting near Ayeds Spur, where they are at work on the railroad in company with about fifty other of their fellows. Game Warden Hubbard, located them and brought them in. The other men also had been hunting and two guns and a re volver were taken from them. No one laid claim to these for fear of giv ing themselves away. The two who were brought up, however, had the goods on them. A sack partially filled with robins constituted their catch. A twenty-two special was tak en from one. Both had the money with which to pay their fine and were glad to get off so easy. Electrocuted While Fighting Fire k Charles Brown, engineer at the Medford Ice and Storage Company, was electrocuted Sunday evening about 6 o'clock while fighting a fire in a barn across the railroad track from the ice plant. The employes of the ice plant had stretched the company hose across the railroad track in order to fight the fire and were gaining headway when a wire of the Oregon Power Company carrying 2200 volts dropped directly over Mr. Brown. Ho grasped the live wire and it was several uln- utes before he could be released. His second finger was burned entirely off, while the forearm was burned above the elbow. Death was instantaneous, The deceased leaves a wife and child. If it's easier to preach than to practice, ljt must be easier to be a clergyman than a physician.

Main St. HEAL ESTATE GREAT BATTLE NOW RAGING (Continued from Page One.) gium and along the frontier of France. The battle has been raging since Friday last, becoming more and more terrific Saturday and Sunday, while the dispatches which ate filter ing in today indicate fighting is grow ing fiercer with every hour. Reserves are coming in great numbers and it is estimated probably between two and three million soldiers are now facing each other, with the German forces in the majority. All the news comes through the allies, Germany being entirely silent, and for this reason alone more cred ence is give nthe German arms than Is stated in the dispatches. During the past three weeks it has been seen the allies are very slow in giving information against their arms, while the defeats of the Germans ap pear to find no censorship. For this reason it is believed here the Gorman arms are not given full credit by the allies' censorship. Japan Enters War With Kaiser Toklo, Aug. 24. Having declared war against Germany on Sunday, it is stated Japan, before beginning actual military and naval operations against the Gernians at Kiao Chau, will send a note to the governor, advising him to surrender and avoid unnecessary bloodshed. The appointment an nounced Vice Admirals Kato and Sad akishi and Rear Admiral Tschulya as commanders respectively of the Jap anese first, second and third naval squadrons. Washington, Aug. 24. -President Wilson admitted Japan had failed to define intentions beyond the an nouncement she planned to take Klao Chau from Germany. He also admit ted Japan had not assured the United States the conflict would be localized to the province of Klao Chau. Pekin, Aug. 24. Germany has strongly protested against China, it is learned, charging that the latter aided Japan in the violation of neu trality. China replie dthat the Ger mans' warlike naval operations in the Orient were calculated to violate the principles of the Kiao Chau conven tion of 1908. Victor Flint, who resides near the Belleview school, gave a little dance at his home Friday evening. Many of his friends were present and re port a very pleasant time.

Phone 211 War Aids California Mineral Springs San Francisco Chronicle: The war will undoubtedly be a great boon for California mineral waters, because of the shutting down of shipments of water rrom the springs of Europe. California last ear produced fro-n 49 springs and sold 2, S01, 39;; gal lons of mineral water, valued at $531,925. With the exception of New York and Wisconsin, this state has the largest number of commer cial springs in the country. There is a large quantity of for eign waters imported into this coun try, reaching 3,304,675 gallons in 1913, valued at $955, 7SS. More than 1,000,000 gallons ench was imported from France and Germany in 1913 and nearly 400,000 gallons from Austria-Hungary. This supply will now be cut off to the benefit of the Cali fornia mineral and medicinal waters. -Better school shoes at Enders'. Classified Advertisements (Continued from Page Seven.)
