Prices 10 and 15 Cents Lyric Tlteafre Stanley Steamer Owners Perturbed Two women whose names are un known, driving a buggy on the Pa- jcific highway near Talent, were I struck by a Stanley steamer auto Tuesday night. The police have the number of the car and a warrant will be issued. It is alleged that the autoist after striking the buggy failed to stop, but increased his speed. The women were driven to Talent by Lunsford Black, who se cured the number of the machine and reported the accident to the po lice. The Stanley steamer was going at a high rate of speed. Guy Oood, who drives the big Stan ley steamer, wants it made plain that It was not his car which hit the buggy. Owing to the fact that the Good car is known as "The Stanley Steamer," many thought this to be the car. The two other owners of steamers' In Ashland disclaim any knowledge of the affair. The police are Investi gating. It is thought possible that the car which did the damage was a tourist car, i MWMHtWMIHtHMMMMtMMm MlimMMmMMMmWtM U?e Sterling!!- Co. Bullet Shaves Railroad Official Raises Money to Develop Mine Ashland Record: Frank Rose, well known as a mining promoter and mine developer in this region and northern California, was in the city last Thursday, accompanied by his secretary, F. H. Clausing, and in less than half a day raised $1,600 in stock subscriptions for the develop ment of a very promising mine that be is preparing to operate on Bullion mountain. Mr. Rose's success Is due to the fine record he has made In developing the Nigger Boy mine on which his work has been eminently satisfactory and profitable to stock holders. The mine Mr. Rose Is now work ing on Ib the Central mine owned by the recently organized Bullion Moun tain Mining Company, of which he Is at 'present the head. This mine lies on the slope of Bullion mountain about twelve miles out of Hilt ap proximately two miles south of west from that town. It Is approximately ten miles due south of Mt. Ashland. It is on the same ledge with the Cor bet t mine now a highly satisfactory producer and adjoins that property on the north. Three-quarters of a mile down the hill from it on the same ledge lies the old Sterling mine property which years ago sold for $30,000 after producing $60,000 in gold. The Sterling mine, like the old Ashland mine, was never worked out, though equipped with a ten stamp mill and other works. Past July a Most Pleasant Month According to the report of Co-operative Observer Dodge for July, Ashland enjoyad an almost ideal summer month. Only two days dur ing the month were cloudy and on only five was It partly cloudy. The total rainfall was .62 inch for the month. The maximum temperature for the month was 9$, while cities all along the coast thought them selves lucky to get off with 100 de grees. Medford was 102, Portland 100 and some of the Sacramento val ley towns as high as 112. Cool nights were evident throughout, the highest minimum temperature being 59. On two days the thermometer registered only 70 at its highest and on only ten days registered over 90. The lowest temperature was 40. This Is the kind of summer weather which makes Ashland a pleasant summer home. A bullet whizzed clear through the special car of General Manager D. W. Campbell of the Pacific coast division of the Southern Pacific Sat urday afternoon, as he was bowling along between Dunsmuir and Sission, bound for Oregon. The bullet whizzed close to the general man ager and his private secretary, J. G. Lord, shattered panes of glass on each side of the car and spread con sternation among all the distin guished railroad officials aboard, In cluding Superintendent Metcalf of the Shasta division. The train was stopped, telephone connections established and sleuths called. The Investigation resulted In the discovery that the shooting was the work of two boys who were hav ing target practice with a rifle and did not know the train was near. The boys thought the bullet must have struck a rock and been deflect ed toward the train. The boys were let go after their father had corrobo rated their story. Paul I.

Freight Business Is Increasing Freight business on the Southern Pacific lines Is increasing daily. The coming of the fruit seasons in Cali fornia and Oregon, the shipment of numbers of cars of mules and horses to Europe and a noticeable increase in the amount of general freight handled has given the freight traffic of the road a considerable impetus. With the monster passenger traffic now being handled, the Increased freight business means the employ ment of all the extra men and possi bly the hiring of new men.

Successors to R. A. MINKLER tWHWttnMltMtHMtflllilHHMHHmtMMMIIIIHtMltHHII(M Gold Hill Autoist Killed By Train While endeavoring to cross the track ahead of train No. 54, the auto driven by Sam Hodges of Gold Hill was struck and thrown about fifty feet, killing the driver instantly. Mr. Hodges had been In the country all day and was returning home about 8 o'clock in the evening, and upon approaching the crossing saw the train coming. He started his car at full speed for the track in an en deavor to cross shead of the swiftly moving passenger train. He mis judged the distance and the speed of his car, however, and the auto was squarely across the track when the train struck. Hodges was thrown from the car and was badly mangled, being killed outright. The auto was thrown a distance of more than fifty feet and utterly demolished. Mr. Hodges is a man about 40 years of age and has spent the great er part of his life In Jackson county. For a number of years he has been the owner of a large livery stable at Gold Hill. He is survived by a wife and three daughters, Millie, Hattle'and Lesty, all of whom reside In Gold Hill. The scene of the accident Is a grade crossing a short distance from the city. The railroad lies directly north and south and the road crosses at a right angle. It is perfectly clear around the crossing so that a train can be seen coming for at least a quarter of a mile. Australian Boys Have Arrived Four Fire Hazards Are Reported Fire Chief Robison and O. E. Die bert reported the finding of four places in the business section which are fire menaces. The empty build ing next to Holmes Bros.' has much Inflammable material and grass at the back. The basement of the Ash land Furniture Company is stored with papers and boards in such shape as to be dangerous. A large amount of paper stored underneath Sayle's billiard parlors are thought to be a menace and trash back of Bates' transfer office should be cleaned up, according to their findings. This is a new departure in the activities of the firemen and is to be highly commended. t m Davis, general manager for the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, passed through Ashland Tuesday in his pri vate car. He was formerly general superintendent on this part of the Southern Pacific lines. The Australian boys arrived last evening and marched to the Plaza, where they were greeted by Superin tendent Briscoe and Mayor Johnson in speeches. One of the members of the company who was here four years ago responded, saying that through out the entire country they1 had failed to find a cleaner town than Ashland and that wonderful Improvements were evident since that visit. The boys were distributed among the homes of the city. Tonight they will entertain at the Chautauqua building. The boys carry a thirty-piece band which all who were fortunate enough to bear proclaim to be a crackerjack. An fine entertainment is anticipated this evening.
