OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1914 NUMBER 41 AND 1 A GS Dr. Withycombe In Ashland Gov. West to Speak Here Friday Mght Dr. Withycombe, republican candi date for governor, spent this week i in southern Oregon, lie arrived in ' Ashland Tuesday evening and spoke I at the armory Tuesday night. Wed- nesday morning he made a trip to j Talent and I'hoenix, returning here ' at noon and holding a reception for : the ladies at the Oregon Hotel at 2 ; o'clock. Tlie situation was unfortu- i nate for his meeting at the. armory. It was a race between his voice and the cracking of the heating pipes, and the heating pipes won. He found j himself unable to talk against them and his speech was reduced in time; to about twenty minutes. He complained all through his talk j about misrepresentation by the press. ' He took up the charge that he had j been corked up and delivered canned 1 speeches and assured the audience i that it was not true. He said he had been charged with dodging the sa loon question, and justified his ac tion by asserting that his party had not taken a stand on the question, therefore he was not privileged to talk, but asked those interested to look up his record, declared the liquor question was a moral and eco nomic issue and not a partisan one, and in earnest voice said he could "treat the dry and the wet in a righteous manner." Dr. Withycombe denied being in favor of abrogating the Chinese ex elusion laws, though he believed what he had said about its being a mistake that Oregon people had lis-! tened to San Francisco agitators, and ! drove the Chinese from their work i in clearing the lands in Clackamas j county for $25 per acre and that this 400.000 acres of fine land was so productive that the owners netted the price from the first crop.

Through the indisposition of tim- ways and means committee had given notice that the house would not agree to a tax on "the poor man's medicine." Action, however, did not include elimination of the proposed tax on shipments of newspapers. This would eliminate bills of lading in the ship ment of news and provide that all bundles included in a general pack age on a single train or other con veyance should be regarded as one shipment. In lieu of bills of lading, the witness would require publishers to issue on the 15th of each month a sworn statement of the number of such shipments made in the preced ing month and attach to these stamps to the value of 1 cent for each ship ment. Shipments of newspapers made within the county of publica tlon would be exempted from tax.

Although news was received from the valley city yesterday stating that Ashlnnd walloped Grants Pass Satur day with a score of 84 to 0, the nervy Klamath Falls boys feel confident of their ability to make the score lop the other way when they get a hand In the game. In weight the Ashland boys are far superior to the local high school players, as well as in experience. Nearly the entire team of Ashland players were with the squad when It visited this city last fall and was held down to a scoreless game. Only two men of last year's local eleven remain to play for their school this year, but despite this fact, Coach Motschenbacher is confident his men can outfight and outclass any bunch of school plgskinsters looking for challenges.

Wages are high and work quite plentiful, he says. One thing he remarks about employ ment is that an employe seldom gets fired, as the managers of most of the concerns live on the American conti nent and know very little of proceed ings over there, except that It pays or doesn't pay. When a proposition doesn't pay, then is the only time that a man gets bounced. Many of the big emporiums, he says, are oper ated by .Chinese and Japanese, and there are special departments for white and dark trade. He believes that the country is a wonderful one for a young man to gain experience in. system of government have been de cisively defeated by the people. The Oregon system has been extensively introduced in many states and is steadily gaining ground and there Is no present limitations to its wide sweep. To consider this In the face of the fact that Mr. U'Ren was an obscure citizen of a state of small population and somewhat isolated from the larger commonwealths shows the power of the people as well as their desire for democratic ideas when they are once Intelligently or ganized and presented. No citizen of Oregon will leave as large an im press upon the history of his time as Mr. U'Ren, a modest and unassuming personality. that there is plenty to meet require ments of the trade until such time ass conditions materially improve.

Mr. Minear. is an orehardist living a few miles out of the metropolis. Some broom corn has been raised this year, and together with what was left over from last year will be sufficient to run the institution a year. The corporation has an au thorized capital of $5000. The of fice of manager will be filled and operations resumed at an early date. J. O. Miller, former manager, has moved to the vicinity of Myrtle Point, in Coos county, where he is operating a big dairy ranch. ' The Vining Theatre Thursday and Friday evening of this week will have a distinct novelty in photoplays, the entire cast being composed of chil dren from 7 to 13 years of age. Dr. Brower and others whose names he is not yet at liberty to di vulge are at work on a scheme whore by the deposits of kaolin which dec orate the bluffs at certain points in the Dend Indian country are expected to be converted Into the body ma terial of a most excellent quality of fireproof and waterproof paint. It I last year is the assertion of the Doctor's asso ciates and his own opinion that the kaolin mixed with other ingredients will form a coating for builders that cannot be beaten by anything now on tho market. In lino with their project the Doc tor has been out to the white cliffs which are in plain view from Ashland and has brought In a quantity of the material for experimenfal purposes. At the Depot Drug Store, of which the Doctor is now in cha 'ge, he hai a quantity of the kaolin ground to powder and experiments with it are under way. It certainly has the ap pearance of a good body 'for exterior coatings. While In the vicinity of the kaoll t deposits the Doctor also secured quantities of two varieties of clay a peculiar variety of brown clay and a blue clay of very remarkable qual ity. The brown clay the Doctor be lieves is hard to beat as a binder or fire clay and the bine he declares Is a rival of "Denver mud," scientifical ly termed antl-phlogistlne. , . j The window at the Eat Side Pharmacy, unveiled Wednesday morning, is attracting a great deal of attention among the grownups as well as the young people.

Malone is making big plans for the recruiting of the local com pany of the Oregon National Guard. For some time past there has been very little discipline, but he believes that this can be readily stopped. The first thing he intends to do its to raise the standard of the guard, and to enlist new members. Mr. Malonw believes that every young man should have had at least three years of mili tary training, as It gives them many advantages, such as erectness, correct walking, and other physical attri butes. Also he thinks that every man should be willing to spend at least this much time in the service of hia flag. The work is very instructive, asi it is practically a branch of civil en gineering. Mr. Malone wishes to get the company up to full strength. Practice will be regular, and every one will be compelled to attend, un less they previously send In their ex cuse.
