Annual Oregonian Is Feature Number Elks' Smoker Said To Be Best Yet Medford Elks to the number of 100 and a large proportion of the local lodge members gathered at the Elks Temple last Wednesday night and enjoyed one of the best "stag" even ings yet staged by the lodge. A box ing match, wrestling match, minstrel show by the Medford Elks, vaude ville, eatc and many other varied stunts passed the hours In a most hilarious manner until after the chimes had proclaimed the morning to have arrived. The committee in charge was com posed of Messrs. I. E. Vlnlng, E. V. Carter, A. L. Strickland, C. B. Wolf and J. K. Choate. The Tidings Is on sale at Potey' Irug store, 17 East Main street. The Portland Oregonlan's big an nual number, published Saturday, is one of the most artistically gotten up and well arranged annuals which has ever been published in Oregon. Jack son county is given a prominent place In the portion of the paper devoted to counties, and the various Indus tries of the valley given good prominence. Ashland, "The Carlsbad of Amer ica," is treated as one of the great est of Oregon's tourist attractions in the section devoted to the scenic wonders and tourist attractions of the state. Ashland and Ashland's develop ment along resort lines are recog nized throughout the west. The big dallies of Oregon are featuring Ash land whenever Oregon's tourist possi bilities are the subject. While Ash land's scenic wonders, climate and environment alone are sufficient to attract a great deal of notice, it Is the combination of these with the llthla and other mineral waters and the unique and expensive project of mobilizing them which make Ashland one of the big attractions of the state and which have won for Ashland Its constantly Increasing fame as the "Carlsbad of America." The Hornbrook Leader says: While 16 has been late several hours most every day for a week, some oth er passenger trains are on schedule time. The reason is that when the tide is flowing one way the big ferry boat can't land in Port Costa slip, and trains at that time come on via Tracy and Stockton. Other trains like 54 reach Port Costa when the tide Is different and are promptly feT- ried across the strait. Strong Empress Vaudeville Bill The Empress vaudevi'le program for Thursday night of this week promises to be a winner. Tho Vinlng five-piece orchestra will play, and the show is guaranteed to run even more Eirtoothly than last week's. The headline act is LI1 Kerslake's trained pigs, which the Portland pa pers proclaim to be the mo3t Intel lectual pigs In existence. The Btunts which these pigs do are simply mar velous. Martyn and Florence have a Jug gling act which has finish and clever ness which lifts it entirely out of the ordinary rank. Their act includes many new features which are not in cluded in the repertoire of any other jugglers. Marie Dreams, a baritone singer, has a voice which commands admir ation and was given an ovation in Portland. The Hunters have a pretty musical novelty and Walton and Brandt put over a fine line of baseball slang. Eddie Herron and Madge Douglass offer a one-act comedy, "Birds of a Feather," in which the adventures of two high-class crooks is the central plot. All together the show should prove to be a winner. Curtain at 8:15. Prices 25, 35 and 50. 1 VMfiicf Tlaeaf re Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. .4-5 f Lithia Spring Value $75,000 One of the largest transfers of real estate for some months past was re corded at Jacksonville last week when deeds from Harry Silver and wife and James S. Bailey and wife to The Pompadour Mineral Springs Company were put on record. While the deeds are for a nominal consider ation, revenue stamps In the sum of $79 fix the value of the holdings at $79,000. The property consists of the Pompadour Chief, and the Ash land Lithia springs with adjacent real estate, all being taken over by the new company which has been formed by Medford, Grants Pass and Ashland people. Messrs. Silver and Bailey long ago recognized the Immense value of the lithia springs and have done a great deal of development upon their spring which lies between the old Gillette spring and the spring on the Murphy place from which the water is piped to the city. Messrs. Bailey and Silver retain an interest in the Pompadour com pany, their holdings for the greater part going in for stock. r ""nSI PARAMOUNT PRESENTS X - f i L ISE2 FA WC til The celebrated Ameri can Actor who took London by storm, in The Majesty of the Law' rV masterful drama of love, honor and duty in a v Virginia County Seat.

Dry Law Hits the Maraschino Cherry Imagine a chocolate sundae with out a maraschino cherry on top! In all probability you will not be called upon to imagine very hard, as a cherryless sundae bids fair to become a cold, hard fact. We have the Eu gene Register as authority for the statement that the maraschino cherry must go. The Register says: "Such Is the edict of the district attorneys of the state. The canners have' been told that the prepared fruit Is under the ban, but that will have no effect on the output of the local cannery, as the cherries are simply put up In brine in barrels and sent elsewhere to be treated with liquor. "The maraschino cherry Is grown in Oregon, put up at the canneries, sent to California or to the east, and they come back In small bottles, after hav ing been put through an alcoholic process which turns them a deep red. They are then served at soda foun tains and ice cream parlors on sun daes. Few people have imagined that they have been put through an alcoholic process, and the interpre ters of the law Bay they can not be sold henceforth." Despite all this, we have hopes that some genius will discover a way to pickle the cherries in salt brine or do something to them so that we may have the dainty red trimming on top ot our ice cream mixtures. , Last Show At Lyric Tonight Tonight the Lyric Theatre will close Its doors, temporarily at least, and all of the music and picture lov ers of Ashland who have appreciated the class of music and productions put on by Manager Lawrence should attend to bid him farewell. The theatre will be closed during the win- ter months. Mr. Lawrence will go from here to Grants Pass. Ashland loses one of the best musicians and live men who have ever lived here when Mr. LaLwrence goes. Tonight the full Lyric orchestra will appear In a farewell concert. The picture is "The Song of Hate," and the orchestra will play the entire score of "La Tosca" to accompany the great Nan sen production. The Lyric six-piece orchestra is the best organization of Its kind ever gotten together In Ashland. A full house should turn out to hear them in their final appearance. Among the num bers played, will be Chopin's Funeral March, Auld Lang Syne and other fit ting selections. Pendleton will pave streets with bitulithic. two more The Sutherlin Sun had a pretty twenty-page Christmas paper.
