U6e Ashland Tidings VOL. XXXIX ASHLAND. OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1914 NUMBER 37 NGS ii ii ii i High School versus Alumni ( 4 At 2:45 Saturday Afternoon Miss Russell Has Fine Scenic Views Does everybody know what is com ing as a treat to the people of Ash land next Saturday afternoon? That something is going to happen which will tickle the sport lovers of the city? There is going to be the an nual, famous football game Ash landers versus Ashlanders, and a more lively combination couldn't be found. The alumni against the Ash land high school. Doesn't that sound good? All the high school boys and girls think it does, and the towns people might Just as well follow in line, because this is going to be an event which will be remembered in Ashland football history. At 2:43 Saturday the big event is to take place at the high school athletic grounds. Now is your chance to see how the new material is going to pan out. Now is your time to see Captain Spencer dodge down the field, closely pursued by Cummings or Wenner. Spencer was good last year, but this year he happens to be older, and as a natural result of his years has had greater experience, hence he will be able even to outdo his last year's accomplishments. Surmises' that have been expressed by those watching practice have been to the effect that Frame may play center, and it lays between Cunning ham, Young and Wagner for tackles, and Ashcraft, Weeden and Buck as guards. The back field will probably be chosen from Lily, Delsman, Spen cer, Riley and Anderson. Bill Holmes, Brower, Anderson, Plyniate The Supreme Issue in Oregon Miss Russell returned Tuesday evening from Crater Lake, where she has been for the past few weeks tak ing pictures and doing color work for F. H. Kiser, the official photographer for the Crater Lake Company. She has some of the most wonderful views of Crater Lake that have ever been taken. Prior to going to the lake she took photographs of Mount Shasta, and she also has some of these that are wonderful. One of her greatest achievements is a sunset picture taken by Mr. Kiser and colored by her. It is a marvel of soft, harmonious color picturing the soft orange sunset, with the silver lined clouds half obscuring the sun. PO YOU DRYS VANT TO HURT BUSINESS or Gordon are all eligibles for ends.

The spirit of his talk was for the better ment and advancement of the Ash land high school, following with the idea that the only way in which the institution could be bettered was by the individual effort of each and every student. The "just enough to get through" was scorned. The idea, "What a man thinks he can do, he can do," was the dominant note in his lecture. He spoke of what a beautiful school and what exceptional equipment the students had to work with "This is but the husk of the institution; let's see if we can't make the eur or center, yourselves, the real school itself, just as good."

Phone 409-R. 31-8t Two Churches May Be Joined Rev. Schwlmley will leave this week to take a new charge, and again the consolidation of the Con gregational church with the Presby teriun has been revived. It appears to be the consensus of opinion that the two bodies should be gathered under one roof. The Congregatlonal Ists own valuable property at the junction of the Boulevard and East Main street, while the Presbyterian property at the corner of Helman and North Main is one of the fore most locations In the entire city. The Presbyterian Is about twice as great in membership as the Congregational, and If united would make one of the strongest bodies In southern Oregon The consolidation Is devoutly to be sought and Is being pushed with much enthusiasm. That new line of fall patterns at Paulserud & Barrett's Is attracting great attention. A tailored suit Is better, lasts longer and gives more lasting satisfaction.
