PhonB 57. 63-tf FOR SALE OR TRADE lire are some statistical extracts from Reginald L. Foster's "I Am King Auto." On June 1 there were 2,000,000 automobiles in the United States. Eight million Americans rldo in 2,000,000 automobiles every day. Automoblllng costs the United States $1,080,000,000 annually. To run 2,000,000 cars a year takes 1,000,000,000 gallons of gas, worth $130,000,00,0. (Here is where John D. and the Standard Oil company smile expansively!) ' Twenty million additional gallons of lubricating oils cost $8,000,000 a year. . Tires? Twenty million of them wear out In every 12 months, and use up another $12,000,000 figuring tires at only $16 apiece. Automobile accessories, allowing $50 to a car, calls for an outlay of $100,000,000 annually. Garage expense. $50 a year for each car eats up another $100,000, 000 in one year. Figuring $50 for each car (If econ omical repairing Is done) and still another $100,000,000 is spent. Added up it totals some $650,000, 000 doesn't it. Some money! But we have not counted the cost of the cars yet! There were 600,000 new automo biles bought last year, costing all the way from $375 to $10,000, some costing even more. Call the toal roughly $450,000,000. Now add It all up, just $1,080,- 000,000 for automoblllng. A thousand millions spent on King Auto. Two states alone have more chauf feurs than there are soldiers and sailors serving the nation. More money is spent on tires than for a navy. Two millions of cars! One to every 50 people in these United States, 17. for every railway locomo tive, 28 for every passenger coach. Placed end to end these 2,000,000 cars would stretch in double line across the continent. An Investment of a billion and a half of dollars! In 1915 another half billion dollars worth of cars will be made in this country alone. The rich man's plaything a decade Five hundred and twenty-five ve hicle drivers on the Pacific Coast did their best to break Into a rail road crossing accident In the two years ending June 30, 1915, despite the fact that gates were down and warning bells ringing. This Is shown In a report of the Southern Pacific company which reveals that during the period mentioned 523 crossing gates were broken by drivers who risked life and limb for speed and carelessness. The gamble taken by the drivers is obvious. To be broken the gates had to bo down and the gates are down only when trains are approach ing. Tho railroad company spends over $100,00 annually to operate and maintain crossing gates but feels that the active cooperation of motorists and other vehicle drivers Is impera tive if crossing accidents are to be minimized. Recently tho Southern Pacific had observations taken at various cross ings throughout the state to observe how careful drivers were in ap proaching the tracks. Of 17,021 motor vehicles observed, 11,836 driv ers or 69 3A per cent looked neither way before crossing tho tracks; 2.7 por cent looked one way only and but 27.8 per cent looked in both di rections. The almost lncredltable number of 3,301 or 19.3 per cent of the total number of drivers observed ran over the crossing at a reckless rate of speed. But 35 drivers stop ped their machines before crossing the tracks to see that no trains were approaching. Eccentric Miner Takes Vacation jago, today the "jit" the poor man's TO TRADE 32 W.

After 30 years of rigorous living in the hills, years spent In prospect ing and ultimately discovering and developing the second largest zinc mine in the United States, Callahan has gone to Honolulu for the win ter. He has carried hundreds of tons of rock out of the old Callahan tun nel In a wheelbarrow. Single-handed he built a road up the rocky bed of Nine Mile canyon. For weeks he toiled alone up the canyon when the other prospectors had deserted the hills. But these were care free times compared nvith the present. Divi dends on the 70,000 shares of Inter- state-Callahan stock owned by Cal lahan amounted last year to approxi mately $330,000. His holdings could readily be sold for $1,500,000. "Why don't you sell out and enjoy life," he was asked recently at Wal lace Idaho. "What could I do with the money?" was the reply of the mil lionaire who continues to live In his cabin on Nine Mile. Frequently he goes to Spokane, thinking that he will revel In the ex citement of the city. But two or three days out of the Coeur d'AIenes Is the limit of his endurance. At the receipt of the $2.00 dividend in August, Callahan is said to have taken his old associates of project ing days around to the clothing stores and to have fitted them out with new suits. But this did not dispose of a halt day's salary. Unlike the early days of toll and poverty, Callahan is not without proffers of assistance in distributing his riches. He Is re ported to have complained more than once of being driven off the streets of Wallace by the pressure of former acquaintances, who took opportunity to negotiate loans ranging from $5 to $1000. I THE MOVIES f 4 Empress vaudeville tonight at the Vining theatre. The headline feat ure is Tom Powell's famous minstrels with their own band, street parade, orchestra, screamingly ' funny acts centered around a skit, "Hotel do Luxe". Five other acts. Tiirhtwirfl. marinibaphoiies, the singing five, BfJly Clark in sidesplitting mono loguo. The biggest Empress show on tho circuit. The advance sale points toward a sold-out house to- nignt, so get there early. Curtain at 8.30 sharp. A six-plcco orchestra under the di rection of Carl Loveland, will render an orchestral concert beginning at 7:15 every Sunday evening at the Vining and will play during the en tire program of pictures. This added attraction was put on for tho first time last Sunday and was exception ally well received. The Sunday night orchestra should make Sunday one of the biggest nights at tho Vining theatro. John Bnrrymore in "The Incorrig ible Dukane" Tuesday and Wednes day evenings at the Vining presented a type of comedy which was a decided relief from the slapstick stuff and pleased the audience muchly. Skovgaard, the Danish violinist who will appear at the Vining Satur day night, is remembered by many who heard hln In Ashland a couple of years ago as being absolutely the best violinist ever heard here. The prices for the evening, 35 and 50 cents, which are lower than have been offered for this atractlon In any other city in the United States, gives everyone an opportunity to hoar the best music which It will be the privi lege of an Ashland audience to hear. A pinanist of national fame and the Metropolitan singers will round out a program worthy many times the price. Ashland appreciates good at tractions and should give this one a full house. After tonight the Empress vaude ville will be shown on Wednesday instead' of Thursday night every week. Keep this in mind and get your seat reservations early. 1 CLEANLINESS, PERSONAL ATTENTION AND COURTESY COMBINED TO MAKE THE Eagle Meat Market Popular Inspect our market, and your confidence will be behind the pleasure of eating our meats. The knowledge of cleanliness and a sanitary workshop will aid your digestion.- 84N.MataL, SCHWEIN Pbone 107 I Rose Slips For Oregon Schools University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan. 10. Five thousand Frau Karl Dru- schki rose slips set out last summer and now well rooted, await the call of the public and private high schools of Oregon. Upon request a reason able number will be sent free to each. Last year 2500 slips were sent out to schools in lots averaging 20. Re quests numbered about 125, nearly all from high schools. The univer sity has no objection to second re quests from schools that secured slips In 1915, since the offer probably will be made annually so that schools may build up permanent Frau Karl Dru schkl hedges. Last year's slips grew in almost every instance. Mary Pickford at Vining This Week Mary Pickford, the Idol of the screen, comes to Ashland at the Vin ing theatre on Tuesday and Wednes day nights of this week in a screen adaption of the greatest of all of Frances Hodgson Burnett's great dramatic successes, "Esmeralda." ' Whether in Esmeralda's quiet, sim ple little home on the farm, or In the whirl of society life in a large metropolis, she Is the master of every situation with which the appealing drama confronts her. Not only be cause It is much unlike anything else she has ever done before, but also because of Us humanness Its won derful naturalness "Esmeralda" will be remembered as one of Miss Pick ford's foremost character creations. The story is so generally well known that it is perhaps unnecessary to more than briefly indicate Us mo tif. This is based upon the separa tion of the simple little Esmeralda and her sweetheart by the unexpected finding of a fortune in ore on the farm and the suddenly developed am bitions of her mother, who becomes uncontrollably society stricken when she learns of her wealth. Now Esmeralda Is made to believe that her lover Is dead, so that she can consent to marry a designing mar quis and bow the sudden arrival of her sweetheart interrupts the gorge ous wedding forms the climax of a story, forceful with the power of real Ism, but at all times quiet and simple in Its construction as are the lives of the people it depicts themselves. Wonderful Concert At Popular Prices The acme of all that Is the best in music will be offered to Ashland Saturady evening, January 13, when Skovgaard, the great Scandinavian violinist, appears at the Vining the atre with a company of six artists from the Metropolitan opera com pany of Now York. By much persuasion Manager Bergener was able to get the attrac tion for Ashland with lower admis sion prices than at any plate In the United States. Thirty-five and 50 cents will bo tho admission charges and every man, woman and child in Ashland has an opportunity to hear ono of the greatest violinists of the present! ago, and should avail themselves of the opportunity. Fifty and seventy fice cents has been the least ever charged elsewhere, and $2.00 is the big city price. Tho program of selections by the violinist and the singers will cover a wide range from tho most classical to the popular music of today and is sure to delight everyone. Skovgaard has a gonuine Stradl varlus violin for which he paid $13,' 000 and which now would prob ably bring much more if on .the mar ket. Skovgaard never tires his audience with long classical compositions; he chooses his program In such a man ner that he can have an opportunity to show people, both the marvelous tone he can entice from his wonder ful violin, as well as his great tech nique. The past two years have been the most successful in Skovgaard's ca reer. He has not only captured Lon don and Berlin with his preeminent performances of the masterpieces of tho violin, but the British Isle and Germany as well. He was brought directly from Ber lin by Walter Damrosch, of the New York Symphony orchestra, where he played a series of solos and captured the metropolis of America.
