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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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
