On in the house, and the dog turned and went off, still showing the light at its mouth and snapping. "From the safety of the house we called the dog, and after quite a time It came In a glad manner but still frothing and snapping. It want ed to Jump up to the window where we were, and for safety we took a gun and killed it. "The dog was a thoroughbred Aire dale, one year old. Four witnessed the sight, two men and two women. Kindly let us know the cause of tho dog's acting in this way." In "The Hound of the Basker villes" the light that showed from the animal's mouth was due to phos phorescent paint. Two Fords Collide At Wimer Corner One of the Ford cars used on the Lewis jitney line from ABbland to Central Point collided with a Ford car driven by Mr. Carey Saturday evening about 9:15 at the Intersec tion of Wimer and North Main, with 'I results of a broken fender to Carey's Car aD(j a badly bent radius rod to the iitnev. From Investigation made by the police who were on the ground a few minutes after the collision, both parties were conforming to the traffic regulations.

Both par ties stated the collision was accident all, and from all indications shown it was not from speeding or reckless driving.

The Pullman gang put over three touchdowns, two goals and three drop kicks from the field. Pullman played straight football in the main, while O. A. C. fell back on forward and triple passing with ino avail. Pullman now has two big victories to their credit and bid fair to capture the northwest champion ship. The University of Oregon's crushing defeat a week ago when Pullman ran up a score of 28 to 3 does not look so bad in view of the O. A. C. defeat, and the game be tween the two state institutions is looked forward to as the biggest con test of the year in the state. While O. A. C. was receiving their drubbing tbe state university handed out a 19 to 7 dose to Idaho at Eu gene. ' The university's playing was a great improvement over that of last week. Forward passes proved to be the biggest factor in the Oregon vic tory. Captured After Speedy Auto Chase After a 6peedy chase Friday even ing about 5:30, Wr. E. Brown, who is wanted at Roseburg for imperson ating a federal officer and made his get-away from Roseburg Thursday evening, was apprehended by Acting Chief of Police Wimer about two miles south of the business section of Ashland. Brown was making good time toward the California line in a car which he had purchased at Salem and was spotted by Officer Wimer as he passed through the streets of Ash land. Wimer secured a car and gave chase. Bro7n In conversation with Wimer talked a great deal about his trouble but made no effort to escape after being caught.

Says Oregon Women Have Better Feet Oregon women have better feet but inferior teeth and are more slightly built than the women of Illi nois, says Miss Mabel Cummings, physical director of women at the University of Oregon. She draws her conclusions from her physical examination of 140 university wom en and her twelve years at the Illi nois State Normal University. "People here are more homogene ous than they are in the middle west. They are farther developed in our nervous, dynamic American life than in my state," said Miss Cummings. "The girb have Infinitely better feet, which condition is due largely to 1'ie more sensible type of Bhoes worn by the women of the west. "In the matter of teeth they are inferior, although they show no signs of dental neglect. This condi tion is due to a number of causes, the soft water, which furnishes no lime for the teeth, the predominance of" toft, foods in their more lightly developed physiques. ''It Is hard to differentiate be tween the girls of the two sections in matter of posture and carriage. At any rate, the women here do not sur pass those fariher east in this re spect." Wolf's Dog Loves To Attend Fires The fire department was called out about 12:30 Thursday evening. The fire proved to be a grass blaze back of a Fourth street business house and was extinguished before the truck ar rived. The cause of the alarm would not have been located had not Yard master Gillette been on hand to flag the fire truck as it tore down Fourth street. The volunteer members of the department searched all over the depot section but could not find the fire truck until all of the excitement was over. Coming back up town the Tidings reporter met C. B. Wolf, who disconsolately turned home when told of the nature of the blaze. He had his Airdale pup wtih him and stated that the dog loved to go to fires, did not get the chance often and would be greatly disappointed in the failure of this conflagration to materialize. Chaplin Will Reel Through Four Reels Charlie Chaplin will appear in a four-reel picture at the Vining Thea tre tonight. The picture, "Ambi tion," a mirthful combination of side splitting situations with characteris tic Chaplin trimmings. This picture ran to capacity house for a week at the National Theatre In Portland.

Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company announces opening of line between Eugene and Florence. Says Money Ready For Sugar Factory F. S. Bramwell, fit-Id manager of the Utah-Oregon Sugar Company in the Rogue River valley, arrived In Medford Saturday morning and after a conference with W. II. Gore and the Medford committee, announced that $r00,000 v.;is available for tho devel opment of the'beet sugar Industry In the Rogue River valley. Accompany ing Mr. Bramwell was a Japanese contractor, whose force of men will be used to handle tho preliminary work incidental to the cultivation of the beets. White labor will be em ployed largely, Oriental workmen be ing used only In those departments requiring long hours and infinite care at a small wage. Mr. Ilramweil said that the acceptance or rejection of a $600,000 boot sugar factory was entirely up to the people of the Rogue River valley. All they asked of them was 5,000 acres for cultivation, under five-year contracts. Alex Nibley, secretary of the com pany, Is in Portland and will come to the valley for a conference this week. The Utah men state that the fac tory proposition Is not a promotion deal but Is a legitimate business prop osition. The war in Europe has de stroyed a great source of sugar sup ply and the American sugar interests are branching out Into now territory. The beet factory is a Biibject of much favorable discussion around Ashland and the people in this end of the valley seem to be ready to offer their united support to an effort to gain acreage for the proposition. Friday Program Was Best Yet The entertainment given under the auspices of the Auxiliary Club at the Lyric Theatre laBt Friday evening was a grand success from an artistic standpoint and merited a much larger attendance. Prof. MaeKurray was accorded a reception seldom given by an. Ashland audience.. .Mr.. Lawrence, who Is a musician as well as a theatre man, stated that he never heard an Ashland audience applaud so spon taneously and continuously as they did for Mr. MacMurray's songs and encores. Miss CaiUins aeiiverea a reading in her inimitable style, which brought down the house. "Ashland has no need of lyceum courses when talent like this exists In the community," was the tribute paid by one whose opinion is that of one who knows. The ladles will fos ter another entertainment in the near future and hope to have both of these entertainers on the program. The sepcial features are added at no addi tional cost to the regular pictures and Lyric orchestra music at on Auxiliary night. Former Medfordite Was Pinched Here Medford Tribune: J. B. Woods, a former real estate desler of this city, was arrested at Ashland upon a war rant sworn to by R. A. Rawley, for obtaining money under fales pre tenses. Woods came to town secret ly a few days ago, after an extended absence, and was seen by Rawley at the depot as he was boarding a south bound train. He Immediately caused a warrant to be Issued, and a tele phone message to Ashland resulted In his being taken from the train and placed in the custody of the local au thorities. It is alleged that Rawley gave Woods $500 with which to pay debts upon mining property in California. Instead of fulfilling this obligation, Woods is alleged to have gone east. The transaction named in the com plaint occurred a year ago. Ticket Holders May Reserve Seats The floor plan of the M.

This hour is on account of the an nual county Sunday school conven tion which convenes Thursday in the Presbyterian church. Thirty Attend Oregon Banquet Thirty representative business men of Ashland gathered at the Ore gon Hotel this noon and had the pleasure of listening to Judge Wil liam Colvig and C. W. Roblson oC Portland, who are In the city us rep resentatives of the Portland Manu facturers and Land Products Show. The brief talks followed the serving; of a banquet which vi'l win Manager Dobbins of the Oregon Hotel tho united co-operation of every man present. We will predict that Mr. Dobbins will hae trouble In finding; room for the crowds which will at tend future Commercial Club ban quets. President Newcombe of the Com mercial Club introduced Judge Col vig, who told of tho ticope and pur pose of the land show and extended a cordial Invitation to the people ot Ashland to attend. The Portland exposition is to be a monster affair and will bring the products of Ore gon before the people of Oregon and the northwest. Jackson county will be represented by a big exhibit which, lias been given a prominent place. Judge Colvig, who is a former valley resident nnd who says he Is coming; back to the valley when his Portland, duties are finished, made a fine im pression. C. W. Roblson, a young Portland attorney, followed Mr. Colvig and delivered an address which was full of, power and punch. Mr. Roblson la a representative of the young spirit which Is broadening out the old Port land spirit into one of extensive co operation with the rest of the state. and if Portland has, as Mr. Roblson. says, one thousand Chamber of Com merce such as he, Portland will be a good city to tie to. In handling the former Portland spirit Mr. Roblson did not mlnca words and handed out Borne stiff up percuts at the stolid mossback policy which has left Portland bo far be hind the Sound cities and so estrang ed from the Interior sections of the state. He proclaimed a new spirit which was awakening in Portland and Btated that with the recently ef fected reorganization of the Port land Chamber of Commerce the new spirit had come to the front. Mr. Roblson spent the morning In Ashland park and at the high school and was enraptured with the park's beauties. He accused Ashland, and rightfully, of still having some of tho Portland and Oregon mossback spirit left, and offered a9 proof the fact that with the schools and what ha proclaimed to be the prettiest park Ion the const, In the center of the city stood the ruins of an opera house which burned down several years ago. In an appeal for co-operation he Btat ed that Portland could help Ashland and Ashland could help Portland only in so far as those cities helped themselves and gavo concrete In stances of how such help could be effected. Mr. Robison'a talk was one of the liveliest which has ever been handed to an Ashland crowd and was distinctively typical of the new spirit of Oregon which is bound to shove the state out of the mire of mossbacklsin. Mr. Colvig and Y.r. Roblson ad dressed the pupils of the high school this morning. They go to Medford this afternoon, where a meeting has been arranged for tonight. Vining Comedy Will Convulse John Barrymore (you know John, whose inimitable talents as a com edian have bo often convulsed Ash land screen audiences, will appear at the Vining Theatre Tuesday evening In a film version of "The Dictator." The comedy is constant, breezy, en tertaining and well acted by an ex ceptionally competent company. Mr. Barrymore, as "The Dictator," might be described as an inimitable come dian who is genuinely funny in a role that is irresistibly humorous in a farce that Is acknowledged to be the funniest ever produced on the screen.
