GREER, Chairman Dustin Farnum At Vining Theatre On Tuesday evening of this week Dustin Farnum, In "The Gentleman from Indiana," will be shown on the Vining screen. This Is adapted from the famous noved of the same name by Booth Tarklngton, one of the "best sellers" and also one. of the sweetest love idyls of modern fic tion. ! Dustin Farnum'8 spectacular 105 yard run through a broken field for a touchdown Is one of the exciting scenes in tho coming film production, "The Gentleman from Indiana," the famous Booth Tarklngton novel, pre sented by Pallas Pictures. This live ly episode of varsity football Is but a prologue to a series of thrills fol lowing upon the coming of the uni versity man to be editor of the Platt vllle Herald. His smashing of a vicious political machine, his kidnap ping by Whitecaps during a thunder storm in tho forest at night, his start ling identification in a distant emer gency hospital, and his triumphant homecoming with an election to con gress and the love of a bewitching heroine as his reward make "Tho Gentleman from Indiana" a motion picture that makes you shudder once or twice, but In so doing makes the delight at the ending all the heart ier. Drama and Comedy on Wednesday and Thursday. "The Golden Claw," featuring Bes sie Barriscale, and a comedy scream with the famous vaudeville team of Weber and Fields make up the Tri angle program which will be shown on Wednesday and Thursday even ings at the Vining. In "The Golden Claw" Bessie Bar riscale is the woman of society who lives beyond her means, marries for money and drives her lover to become a money-making machine, awakens to the realization of what she has lost and finally wins back the old love. It Is a strong drama with strong act ing and superb scenic settings. In "The Best of Enemies" the fam ous comedians, Weber and Fields, have opportunity to display some of the Irresistible comedy which took them to the pinnacle of fame on the vaudeville stage. The comedy is full of irresistibly funny situations. Orchestra Concert Thursday. As a special added feature hereaf ter, the Vining orchestra of eight pieces will render a concert, com mencing at J: 15 on Thursday even ings, and will play throughout the first show. The Sunday evening con certs have proven very popular, and Thursday night should soon also be come a red letter night at the Vin 1,58 i The" track has been graded around 59.45 ; the athletic field and the track work j was progressing rapidly until the rain this week, and some went for a run i in spite of the rain. There Is not as much material yet as might be, how lever, and more are urged to come out. Eleven students made the forty-word-per-niinu'te test In typewriting 4-50 j iast week, and one the sixty-word. This U the most that have ever passed 597 the test in one month. The student j who made the sixty-word test was 2.25 i Harold Frohbach. All the commer- 40,50 j cial subjects are doing the finest kind of work this year. Many more are expected to pass this test before the year is over. Some miscreant apparently thought that the caps of some of the students were not clean or did not fit their heads, so he laid them on the drink ing fountain, pressed down on the handle, and did not let up on It until the "aqua pura" had penetrated even to the most outlying districts. For this little deed of kindness the own ers of said caps feel deeply Indebted to the unknown benefactor and will gladly reward him if he will but make his Identity known. As a result of a petition which was circulated among the students on Monday, the baseball suits were dis tributed to some of the lovers of the great American pastime. They will endeavor to work up a team without the help of a coach. The main ef forts of the school this year are to be thrown into track work in order to be able to meet the other schools of the valley. There Is seme pretty good material for baseball, and if those who come out practice, a team might be forthcoming. They say that they can get games. Mr. Allen Eaton, who spoke at the 418.97 16.20 Whenever the council gets stuck, City Engineer Walker and Street Commissioner Fraley are called Into consultation. These two officials are always on the Job on the mourners' bench at the city hall during council meetings. Lieut Bryan, U.S.N, stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval Engineers: "Oils made from the asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves to be much, better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivi ties are concerned, than are paraf-fine-base Pennsylvania oils." Zerolene is scientifically refined from selected California crude asphalt-base. Highest competitive awards, San Francisco and San Diego Expositions.

Borden For District Attorney In the proper column will be read the announcement of Newton W. Bon den as a candidate on the democratic ticket for district attorney. He op poses Mr. Kelly for the nomination. He Is a well-known Medford attor ney. He was born in 1880 and raised on. a farm in the famous Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. His early train ing was received In the public schools, which was afterwards supplemented by courses at the Ohio Northern Uni versity at Ada, Ohio, and at Wash ington, D. C, and Portland law schools, of which he is a graduate. For a number of years he was with the postoffice department at Wash ington, D. C, leaving the government Bervice in 1910 to take up law. He Is a public spirited young man, hav ing always manifested a keen Interest In civic matters and social reforms. Wras the principal organizer and the first president of the Washington Civic Forum, an organization devoted to the civic and social affairs of the national capital. His family consists of Mrs. Borden and their two chil dren. If nominated and elected he promises to al.ways keep the public's Interest in the foreground and to ad minister the affairs of the office hon estly, impartially and without foar or favor. Mr. Borden is a good lawyer and popular with the members of his party, and will no doubt receive the nomination over Mr. Kelly. J. C. Herring For Assessor In another column will be read the announcement of J. C. Herring of Central Point as a candidate for coun ty assessor on the republican ticket. Mr. Herring has been a resident of Jackson county for about Eeven years, has acted as deputy assessor last year and the year before, and his valua tions have been very fair and impar tial. He thinks valuations In Jackson county have been held too'hlgh. The boom times are over and values have settled down to their productive worth. Assessments should be made to conform to these changed condi tions, he thinks. His campaign prom Ise Is economy and efficiency. G. A. Culy, who has been machinist at the Ashland roundhouse for sev eral years, left Thursday morning for MIna, Nev., to accept a similar post tlon. public library Thursday evening on the subject of pottery, addressed the assembly Friday morning. His sub ject was "Legislation in Oregon." Ue has been In the Oregon legislature for a longer consecutive time than any other man. For this reason he would seem to be almost an authority on the subject. Besides this, he has written a book on legislation which Is consid ered an authority not only in Oregon but In the east. He went through the system of law-making in the leglsla- ture and told every step from the : time a bill is made to the time it j becomes a law. He also told some- j thing of the initiative and referen-j d u m. One of his main points was that the legislature was worthy of the j best men and women In the state and that such should pay more attention j to it. His talk was clear and of the kind that students listen to. Every one was well pleased. As has been said before, tho school is to put all its work on track this year. All the teams of the valley are to meet at one meet toward the end I of the year. A meeting was held at j teachers' Institute to decide whether to allow Crescent City to enter the ! meet. It was decided that it should j be admitted. So the towns represent- ed wi'l probably bo Ashland, Med-! ford, Grants Pass, Crescent City and Central Point. Some of the winners of events In smaller schools will prob ably be admitted. The meet will probably be held at Medford because of Its central location and level field. A!l the regular events will be held ex cept the hammer throw. There will be the dashes, distance runs (up to one mile), broad and high Jump, pole vault, high and low hurdles, shot-put, discus and javelin throws, and relay race.

Ashland Sidelights on Official Doings Anyone can now afford a porch light and everyone can have one. Let's make Ashland streets the best lighted in America. The council got rid of several ordi nances which have been cluttering up the table for several months, at the special meeting Thursday night. The proposed anti-coasting and anti-roller skating ordinance, which will come up at the next meeting, premises to raise quite & little hub bub. The attendance at council meeting Tuesday evening was the slimmest of the year. Only two spectators were n the hall when the council con vened. The sign-board discussion took up an hour and five minutes more time than the arrival at the decision to establish a sewer and put In $330 worth of water pipe and hydrants. The work of putting in the Granite street water main is progressing well. The lower portion of Granite street will be finished as soon as house connections are made. The council as a committee' of the whole viewed the property on Park avenue last Thursday. The city has already paid $1,000 on the property and the councilmen deemed it best to keep the property. . R. WlLSON,Agent where the council pegged away until 2 or 3 o'clock In the morning. Coun cilman Cornelius couldn't go that long without a smoke to save his life. Careful vigilance throughout, the open season for council meetings In 1916 has resulted In the compiling of the following symposium of favor ite sayings and phrases by the city fathers: Councilman Root, "I have here a little list"; Mayor Johnson, "While we are waiting there is a lit tle matter"; Recorder Gillette, "Gen tlemen, I have an ordinance here"; Councilman Ashcraft, "I have In my pocket a few statistics." Councilman Lamb and his next door neighbor have as yet failed to exhibit any ten dency tovard overworking any favor ite phrase. Most Infrequent of all comes Councilman Cornelius with "Uh," and most frequent Councilman Banta with "yet and for all." Classified Advertisements TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

NEWTON W. BORDEN. Councilman Banta says that there seems to be a growing sentiment in favor of rteters throughout the city and that in his daily rounds a great many people had inquired concerning the installation of meters, the coun cilman from the second says he Is going to have a meter himself Blnce he has made a study of electric light matters, and believes that, especially in an ordinary residence, a meter will effect a good-sized saving. Some interesting information at least interesting to the morbid was offered by Recorder Gillette Thurs day evening at the special meeting of the council. Whjle discussing the disposal of carcasses the recorder re marked, "Mr. Fraley Is sexton over a private burial grounds for dogs." Horses and cows are burned at the city dump, and cats always crawl off under the house, where no one can find them to bury them. Mr. Farrar, the representative of the bank which will take over $43, 000 worth of Ashland bonds, saving the city 1 per cent Interest, was a visitor at the meeting of the council Tuesday night. His proposition came up clear at the tag end of the meet ing, along toward 11:30 o'clock. When asked how he liked the late hours he replied that this wasn't in it with lots of places he had been w yrr "fern I m$mwnw& McNAIR BROS.
