Derby Woman Sees
Light in Dog's Mouth
Eugene Register: The strange
story of a dog that manifested the
same phenomenon as Conan Doyle's
"Hound of tho Haskervilles," In the
Sherlock Holmes mystery stories, has
jm;t come to the University of Ore
gon from a woiran resident of Derby,
Jackson county, Oregon.

asked to examine for traces of rabies.
I house that looked as larjre as a light-
ed lantern in the distance. 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.

Oregon Teams
Win and Lose
The Pullman College football team,
with what is said to be the cleverest
aggregation of years in the north
west, smothered the Oregon Agricul
tural College team by the score of
29 to 0 Saturday. 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.

ing about 5:30, Wr. E. Brown, who

Wimer talked a great deal about his
trouble but made no effort to escape
after being caught. He was turned

arrived from Douglas county Satur
day and left immediately for Rose
burg in Brown's car with Brown as
chauffeur. Tho prisoner will face, a

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.
The manager guarantees this to be
a real Chaplin comedy and will back
the guarantee not only by refunding
the admission at the box office but
will give a week's admission to every
person in the audience should the
attraction prove otherwise. Six-reel
program, 5 and 10 cents.
It is announced that Redmond will
have a new fireproof warehouse for
handling farm products, size 60 by

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.

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.

Will Convulse
John Barrymore (you know John,
whose inimitable talents as a com
edian have bo often convulsed Ash

The comedy is constant, breezy, en
tertaining and well acted by an ex
ceptionally competent company. Mr.

be described as an inimitable come

that is irresistibly humorous in a
