New Type Dredge For Applegate Captain Ennls Dobbins, of Seattle", Is engaged In installing a dredge for S. S. Bullis at the mouth of Sterling creek, on the Little Applegate. It has a capacity of 1000 cubic yards a day and will clean up about 60 acres of placer ground In that loca tion. Captain Dobbins came down from Seattle ome days ago to superin tend its operation. It is a new Inven tion operation In the dredge line and has been passed upon by those familiar with dredge work as not only something new in placer min ing equipment, but as practically the last word in machinery of that type. Its work has been fully demonstrated In successful operation and It Is be lieved that it will enable owners of placer ground to obtain the gold from hundreds of acres in Southern Oregon that could not be profitably handled with the old style dredges. Two building permits the past week at Portland aggregate $75,000. Prof. Henri Deschamps and wife of Paris, France, recently arrived in Ashland and are located at 111 Lau rel Btreet for the remainder of the summer. Prof. Deschamps has lectured In many parts of Europe and the United States on applied psychology and child study. He has recently given some of his lectures in Boise, Spo kane, Seattle, Tacoina, Yakima, Med ford and other places. The professor was attracted to Ashland largely by chance through the kindness of one of our Medford neighbors in showing him over the valley. Immediately upon seeing our city he became de lighted with it and finally abandoned his plans for going to Oakland, Cal., now and decided to stay here for some weeks. Prof. Deschamps has seen many of the beauty spots on both sides of the Atlantic, and is enthusiastic over the possibilities ahead of Ashland if we will come Into a full realization of them and work with unstinted loy- lalty and energy to make our attrac tions known and to afford all visitors ample facilities for their comfort and enjoyment. Any person who is doubtful about what we can do and ought to do will be very wise in fleeking our Prof. Deschamps for a little chat. Ills en ergy and optimism will fill anyone with a vision of a new Ashland ten times bigger, better and more beautl ful even than it is now. S. P.

Celebration Week I At the Vining The Vining theatre has surely se cured attractions fpr celebration week which are real atractions and add greatly to the entertainment which Ashland can offer her visitors. In the Vining theatre Ashland has one of the prettiest show houses on the Coast, and everything which can be done for the comfort of Its patrons Is done. Home people will make no mis take in advising every visitor to in clude a visit to one of the following shows or to all of them In their stay in Ashland. The theatre will run continuous shows.' Tuesday For the Fourth of July Manager Bergner has secured one of the great est screen releases of recent months, Mary Pickford in "Little Pepplna," recognized to be the greatest triumph in the career of the "Sweetheart of America." This picture showed to 40,000 people in one week in New York in a theatre whose seating ca pacity is only 1500. In this seven-reeler, the first over five Mary has ever appeared In, she is a little Italian peasant girl, then a stowaway garbed In a corduroy suit belonging to her foster brother, and, finally, a messenger boy before she dons feminine garb and assumes her place in society as the long-lost-daughter of a wealthy American fam ily. Pepplna was stolen in infancy, reported as drowned, then raised by Italian peasants, to desert them for America to escape marriage with a man she detests. The story is par ticularly rich In atmosphere and Pickford charm. Wednesday, July 5. The Wednesday feature stars Wil liam Duncan and Neil Shipman and Is a magnificent eight-part produc tion of the north woods. The Seat tle Post reviewed the picture and the furore it created in that city as follows: "God's Country and the Woman," now at the Clemmer Theatre and featuring William Duncan and Nell Shipman, with Edgar Keller and Nell Clark Keller as co-stars, is play ing to capacity business, with patrons standing on the sidewalk all evening, This production rightly deserves such a patronage, for without any doubt it is as fine a feature as has been produced, with the most beauti ful scenery that has ever graced a screen. The snow scenes in particu lar are wonderful and the dog teams racing along through the snow cause the red blood to course through one's veins with the real spirit of living In what is called God's country. The story is of the great northwest woods. The picture will continue for the re mainder of the week." Thursday, July 0. The Thursday offering brings Wil liam S. Hart, greatest of all western actors, In '"The Aryan." It is a pic ture with a big dramatic Idea and one which overshadows the typically western features. This theme, which goes down deep into the traditions of the race, is set forth In this sub title: "Oft written in letters of blood, deep carved In the face of destiny, that all men may read, runs the code of the Aryan race, "Our women shall be guarded; '.and a man of the white race may forget much friends, duty, honor but this he will not, he cannot forget." Using this powerful thought as a basis for a story of unusual strength, and presenting an actor whose im- pressiveness reaches genuine power, "The Aryan" Is a film which cannot be forgotten in a day or two. With the great western drama comes a Keystone comedy with Harry McCoy as the headliner. Clif Payne makes lawn seats. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Loslier of Port land are here for the celebration and are vlsting at the home of Mrs. S. E. Miller. Troubles Tell your financial troubles to your banker.
