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.

Jim Callahan, millionaire prospec
tor of the Coeur d'AIenes, is enjoying
his first vacation.
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.

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.
