Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT ASHLAND TIDINGS, Monday, September 21, 1014 News of the Klamath Team Army Lieutenant Coaches Football That the football team of the local high school may have a team to play against for practice before its regular schedule of games with outside schools begins, the boys of the alumni of the school are planning formation of a team, says the Klamath Falls Northwestern. A call has been issued to every male member of the alumni living in or near Klamath Falls to be at Modoc Tark next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock prepared to enjoy the j first practice. ! Owing to the isolated location of j Klamath Falls the football team rep-1 resenting the school has no chance for practice against another team be fore the real games of the season commence. As is the custom in near ly all prominent schools, the alumni boys are planning to come to the res cue and help those who now play for their alma mater to experience some good hard games in preparation for the opening struggle with another j school. ! Not all the alumni boys now living in and near Klamath Falls won a "K" in football when attending Klamath high school, but nearly all had some experience at the great col lege game. Those who will turn out for the team are Rinehart Motschen- j hacher, Clarence Motschenbacher, Forrest Peil, Virgil DeLap, Theodore : i ase, wiinain uuguisieiu, iviiuui n-i-ford, Ralph Hum, Will Hum, Leon Boiler, Glenn Garrett, Fritz Mark wardt, Howard Boggs, Harry Mesner, Earl McCoy and possibly Louis Mc Clure. All fears that Klamath high might not have a good football team this season because of graduation of elev en letter men last spring were dis pelled after the first practice of Ath letic Manager Motsehenbacher's pro teges Tuesday evening. Over twenty men were on the field and all are zealous for a place on the eleven. Although only four letter men, Kelhl, L. Motschenbacher, Melhase and Noel, are in the squad, several new men have the weight and the form for good players. Jacob Stieger, a freshman from Wisconsin, shows up well in practice, as does Gus Page, from Fort Klamath, Earl Everett, Bill McMillan, "Slim" Graves. Ira Orem, Lawrence Sanderson and other recruits. Many will remember Thomas W. Hammond, a former Ashland boy, son of A. P. Hammond, deceased, who was postmaster here for three succes sive terms. Tom" is now first lieu tenant of Company H. Sixth Regi ment U. S. Infantry, which has re cently been doing guard duty on the Mexican border. He has just been detailed to coach the army football squad at the National Military Acad emy, preliminary to the big game be tween the army and navy teams later in the season. Undoubtedly he has been called upon to do this by virtue of a reputation as being an all-around athlete, gained during his cadetship days. He graduated from West Point in 1905, and for two years was in structor in mathematics at that insti tution. Since receiving his commis sion he has seen service in Alaska, and has also been stationed at the Presidio, San Francisco, and at other military posts up and down the coast. His regiment is under waiting orders to proceed to the Philippines early in December. Lieutenant Hammond Is a brother of Mrs. J. H. Turner of this city, residing at 5 9 Union street. He paid Ashland a visit two years ago. Camping Sites in National Forest Time for winter underwear? 'See the best line at Enders.

Did you know that you could rent, at a nominal fee per annum, balf an acre of. ground within the national forest of Ashland or Wagner Butte for a summer home and ' live there indefinitely? According to the National Forest Manual, "the fullest use of the na tional forest lands and resources is desired and encouraged." Few peo ple realize what this means. So much has been said of the commercial side of the national forest resources, ot their worth to the nation as a busi ness proposition, that little heed has been given to their value as a peo ple's playground. Where can one find a more delightful recreation spot than in the beautiful forest? Many a "sylvan scene" within the national forest boundary may be per- manently enjoyed almost for the ask ing. Go into the forest and pick out your camping site along some stream or by the side of some lake or in the high mountains; then apply to the nearest supervisor for a permit tp use half an acre or so of land oil which to establish your camp. If your choice of a site does not inter fere with other forest uses or users. he will grant it to you upon the pay ment of the annual rental, which rental runs from 5 to $25, according to the location and the size of the camp site. Xour permit is good in definitely, the only requirement being that you comply with forest service regulations, chiefly In regard to sani tation and fire prevention. Some few people have become wise to the possibilities of national forest ! camp sites and are already enjoying their summer home. There are scattered lots and some surveyed tracts In other national for ests of Washington and Oregon. In fact, there are splendid opportunities for summer camps in such localities as Klamath Lake, Oregon. Several summer hotels have been established within the forests, but there is still room for many indi vidual camps or summer homes. News of the : Fruit market The local fruit association is now shipping much7 fruit 'and vegetables grown in the vicinity of Ashland. Most of these go out by express as shipments of this nature cannot be held long enough to make up a car load. Many peaches were also sent in the Banie way. Three carloads were made up at one time, howevjr, and shipped. Fruit so far has been bringing a fair price. The average at present is about 250 boxes a day. Much celery, tomatoes and other veg etables are being sent. Parcel post Is serving many of the growers well this year. A. C. Joy has made good use of this, shipping hundreds of box es in this manner to all points in the west. The coming apple crop will be quite large, but the fruit will not as an average be as large as usual, on ac count of the extreme dry weather ex perienced this summer. "The apple market is in the air at present," states A. C." Briggs, "and nothing can be predicted as to prices." -John Kelly shoes at En En$efs $2 THE YEHR Strictly in Advance $2 Phoenix silk hose at Enders'.

The eight-hour law, Nos. 320 and 321 upon which the people are to vote in November, is a classic exam ple of half-baked initiation. According to the provisions of this extraordinary measure, no rancher in the Rogue River Valley could hire a picking crew, or packing crew, or harvesting crew for more than eight consecutive hours in the twenty-four. If work should start at 7 a. m., for example, it would have to stop at 4 p. m., with an hour for, "lunch and rest." , No extra time, even at double pay, is allowed1, except in case of acci dent, breakdown, fire, flood or storm. The domestic assistant who arises at 6 a. m. to prepare the family breakfast would be forced to fold her hands at 3 p. m., or go on a joy ride, to save the mistress of the house from the punishment of a fine of "not less than $100 nor more than $1000, or not less- than thirty days nor more than one year in Jail, or both." The passage of this law would put every rancher In southern Oregon out of business, disrupt the Internal man agement of hundreds of homes, and make Oregon the laughing stock of the entire country. Only the miscnievous or feeble minded could he expected to mark this amendment anything but 321 No. Medford Sun. miHIIIIHHIIUmiHIIOIHHIHMUM LASTCflLL ! $20.00 ss $9.95 I One more week to buy a $20 Ladies' Suit for $9.95.

The weather there was exceptionally fine for a celebration. Many stunts were pulled off, in cluding a prize fight. Great piles of salmon and salad were served to the visitors.
