SnT Society Ashland 'Ashland Grows While Uthla Flows' . City of Sunshine and Flowers IDINGS Ashland, Oregon, Uthla Springs "The Carlsbad of America" VOL. XL ASHLAND. OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1915 NUMBER 38 Intercepted Pass Defeats Alumni In a game slow on the whole but replete with sensations the Ashland high school defeated a team made up of alumni players by the score of 6 to 2 Saturday afternoon. A fair sized rrowd was in attendance and seemed well please with the promis ing set of youngsters who are being wielded Into a football machine by Coach Hutchinson. The alumni mustered exactly elev en men and were forced to play one of the high school substitutes when Enders went out with a dislocated hip. "Brick" Moody was the main stay for the old-timers, but was ably aided by Henry at center and Ander son at end. The alumni line, made up of Merrill, Ashrraft, Wagner and Sargeant, was a stone wall against even the high school's human batter ing ram, "Climax" Delsman. Holmes on right end pulled about seven for ward passes out of the air for the biggest gains of the day. Hayiies, Young and Enders helped out Moody in the backfleld. The schoolboys played a consistent game on defense but were weak on breaking up forward passes. Dels- man and Cunningham did the bulk of the defensive work. On offense the youngBters showed lack of pre cision, but the backfleld gives prom ise of developing Into a good fighting machine when the details of interfer ence are matstered and a little more speed in starting injected. Only two forward passes worked out for the schoolboys, the trouble being mainly on the receiving end. The high school received the kick off and marched down to the field for what looked like a touchdown with a series of line bucks, but lost the ball on a fumble. The first quar ter ended with the ball still in the defenders' end of the field. In the second half the alumni took the of fensive and with a series of end runs iod well-executed passes got the ball well out of danger. A few minutes after the kiekoff in the second half the trusty left pedal extremity of "Brick" bloody lifted the ball for a good forty-yard punt Claims Farmers Shoot on Preserves O. Winter was among the early risers last Friday morning and re turned with a limit bag of quail. Harry Hosier and Chi Pearson came back with well-filled bags, and Chi brazenly admits having secured the limit. None of these gentlemen found many pheasants and are scoffing at the heralded plentifulness of the Chi nese birds. Many complaints are heard that the farmers keep hunters away with game preserve signs and then shoot the birds themselves. While the hunters do not object to a farmer keeping off hunters if he has' Established a preserve, they do ob ject to paying license money and hav ing the money used to plant birds on the so-called preserves only to be shot by the owners. On Sunday hundreds of hunters were out and the entire country side was scoured in pursuit of the elusive game birds. . The Medford Mail Tribune says of the opening of the pheasant season: "Between 500 and 700 Chinese pheasants were killed by hunters In the Rogue River valley the opening of the season Friday, and Sunday will jsee further slaughtering of the birds. Oue of nearly one hundred motor ! cars checked by Game Wardens Walker and Drlscoll, the largest num ber of birds found was 11, out of a party of six. They were entitled to 30."

On the next play the school's to depends primarily on tne direct center passed the ball over Fraley's head and the goal line and Fraley was downed behind the line for a safety counting two points, which looked big to the long-enders. In the last quarter the alumni again threatened the school goal but were held. After the ball jad zig zagged back and forward for several minutes in the center of the field, Art Long intercepted a forward pass and trotted down the field for a touchdown with most of the old war horses too out of wind to even at tempt pursuit. The quarter ended with no further scoring. The field was about six inches deep in dust and contributed greatly to the slowness of the play. The saddest part of the affair in the eyes of the old-timers was that "Hun gry" Ed Dews, who has not missed a game for several seasons, couldn't prevail upon the Southern Pacific Company to let him off for the game. Several other of the old guard, such aa Perry and Elmer Ashcraft and "Blondy" Sayles, were also kept away by their work. Harry Sayles, who has been in training for the game for a week, suffered a broken collarbone when the Ford in which he was riding ran over a pig Thurs day, and had to be contented with a headlinesman job. ford of California, accompanied by the Del Norte, California, board of supervisors, co-operated recently in an inspection of the contemplated new north and south coast highway, which will branch from the Pacific highway at Grants Pass, if plans are carried to perfection. The engineers took records of ele vations, distances, etc., and estimate that the route will require 25 miles of new construction In Del Norte county, at an expense of $150,000. Officials of the California county are, needless to explain, strongly In favor of construction and will act if funds can be made available. Linked with the plan will be an effort to Induce the forestry depart ment's aid, where the route passes through the Siskiyou, California, re serve. Apple Harvest At its Height through Ashland early one morning last week. Last reports from Port land were that the party had passed over the railway bridge by special permit, to Washington, and were still traveling. The trip presented many difficulties, and even should the party fail to make the Canadian bor der without a stop, the trip to Port land stands as an unequaled record. The party are obliged to take on sup plies, food, gasoline and oil while in motion, and in some cases have run around in circles ror nours on ac count of. obstacles. South of Rose- burg a wagon blocked the road and the driver of the car was obliged to wallow around in the ditch, but the car kept moving. At another place the party got into a farm yard and dl not have room to turn aroundd, so threw on full speed and went through a fence wlthont accident. The tires still have Mexican air in them and necessarily a puncture would terminate the attempt.

She experiences a dress goods Bectlon in a New York department store; a chorous girl's tryout after a perform ance at the Gaiety; an after-theatre fight over her at a cabaret; and finally a far too thrilling pursuit by the police, who mistake her for an escaped criminal.

So she settles down fully con tent at lant with her position as one of the girls of New York's 400, and the long-sought glamor of life finally dawns for her in the person of the handsome, manly young clubman, Jim Denning.

While it la growing late in the sea son, the late peaches are still at their best, and Ashland has a chance to establish a reputation for Ashland peaches at the Sun Francisco exposi tion second to none, according to II. 0. Frohbach. .Mr. Frohbach says: "There have been no peaches en tered from Oregon outside of Jack son county, and for that matter all but two entries came from Ashland. There Is no reason why the Ashland peach should not be to Ashland grow ers what the Hood River apple is to the Hood River grower. They de mand a better price for their product. Why should not the Ashland growers get a better price for their peaches? They have the reputation, and I hopo that before loin; will be able to re port to you that our peaches were given some good awards by the P. P. 1. K. people." Every peach grower Is urged to send in a few sitmples of his best. The opportunity is there and must be grasped now. Some wonderful specimens havo been sent to San Francisco and have created a furore anions easterners and even CallfornlanB. Ashland grows the biggest peaches in the world and peaches which are not sur passed in any way by any grown else where. Lack of exploitation has pre vented tho Ashalnd peach from be coming famous. Let every grower do his part by sending a carefully selected and packed exhibit of hid best peaches to the exposition. Mr. Frohbach sends the following word of warning to shippers of peaches: "To the Peach Growers of Jackson County. "Dear Sirs: Just a word of warn Ing. Be very careful In 'your selec tion of the late varieties of peaches which you will enter for awards at the Panama exposition, that there are no peaches in the lot that have even the appearance of having a split pit. Split pits thiB year seem to be very plentiful and our entries have had their share of them the same as Cali fornia. Yours very truly, "II. O. FROHBACH."

A number of Ashland Ohioans Journeyed to Medford last Thursday evening and heard Governor Willis of Ohio speak in the Medford park and Bhook hands with that famous gentleman. In his speech he steered clear of any direct political state ments and would make no forecast of presidential possibilities.

The Ohio executive was anxious to visit Crater Lake and stated that he was coming back some time to see Oregon's greatest scenic wonder. The party left Friday morning for San Francisco and were met with flowers and other remembrances at the depot by local Ohioans.
