Mary Pickford in "Poor Little Pepplna" nt Vining, Tuesday, July 4th.
Monster Crowds
Coming Tomorrow
(By Frank H. Hull, Movie Man.)
Portland.
Pleasure seekers of every descrip
tion are planning on visiting Ashland
lor from one day to a week and en
joy the facilities of the parks and
camp grounds as well as attend the
roundup and celebration. Many are
coming in autos, but the greater per
cent will come by rail. One of Port
land's witty newsboys wanted to
know if my six-shooter was loaded,
and called to a "copper" that he
wasn't game to take it away from
me. The Ashland movies were shown
at the Pickford Theatre to a large
and appreciative audience. A lady
who sat in the same section with us
at the show was well versed with
each Ashland scene and seemed to
take great pleasure in telling those
about her something interesting
about the scenes as they appeared on
the screen. I left Portland on the
midnight train for
Roseburg.
In the evening we woke 'em up. My
"get" frightened a few chickens in
one of the leading cafes, but after
our bunch let out a few roundup
yells and the cause of the outburst
was known, they all joined in a
hearty laugh. Our movies were
shown at the Star Theatre to an ap
preciative audience. Many from
here will be at Ashland for the cele
bration and a goodly number of cow
boys and horses will take part in the
roundup attractions.
Dunsmuir
A large crowd of people passed the
streets here all evening and I pre
sented the most of them with one of
our poems and posted a goodly unm
ber of the programs, but on account
of their celebration, the manager of
the local theatre decided it was best
for him not to show our movies until
a later date. We expect to show it
on the last day of their celebration,
the 4th, which will probably bring
us more results and profit him fully
as well.
Medford.
From Dunsmuir I jumped into
Medford (some jump), where our
movie received one grand applaud

the bunch. I left here at 10:30 p. m.
on the Shasta Limited for Ashland,
where I was met by a party of local
rooters and landed at 9 a. m. In
Klamath Falls.
We attended a "buck" meet in the
afternoon and caught a few movies.
friends took delight in searching for
his stately form in each scene as it
was shown. If he was not in sight,
no matter what the scene, someone
would be heard to jest, from some
nook, "Where's Frank?" or "There
he is," etc. So few seemed to take
any real interest in trying to make
this great advertising medium a suc
cess that I feel exceeding grateful

to those who did lend a helping hand,
and wish to take this opportunity of
thanking them on behalf of the pro
gressive Ashland people, the roundup
and celebration committees and my
self. On my return to Ashland
was informed by Chief Porter that
he was in possession of a warrant for
my arrest, due to my shooting up
the quiet little city of Portland, and
I urged him to serve It at once, that
the roundup committee might derive
as much publicity as possible, as it
was publicity we were out after. I
gave him the slip, however, and land
ed in
Grants Pass.
On my arrival at Grants Pass on
train No. 14 I met train No. 13,
which was bringing the Pendleton
Roundup bunch to Ashland. They
informed me that they were bring
ing four carloads of horses, cowboys
and Indians. In spite of a continu
ous day of rain we were favored with
a good turnout and I received many
promises for a good representation
for their city for our celebration.
The manager of the Star Theatre,
where our movies were shown, is de
serving of special comment for the
superior manner in which he projects
his pictures.
Central Point.
The Central Point band turned out
and gave a concert in the opera
house in connection with our local
movie. The manager turned the thea
tre over, free gratis, and the receipts
were divided between the band boys
and the celebration movie fund. Re
gardless of the hard rain, the band
attracted quite a crowd. '
Weed.
At Weed we played to a large and
appreciative audience, and the first
to give an applaud when the G. A. R,
and O. N. G. appeared in the screen
This Is one of the theatres en route
which is showing too large a picture,
it a two-root smaller picture were
shown here, a much better one would
be attained. Weed and all neighbor
ing towns will be well represented at
Ashland during this celebration,
Continual showers all day while
crossing the Siskiyous and at Weed
during the evening, but on the fol
lowing morning the sun shown as
thought it wished to attone for re
cent bashfulness. The mills are
closed down for the week of the
Fourth and autolsts are commencing
to leave today for Ashland.
Yreka.
I was greeted here with a glad
hand and many promises of visits to
our city. Financially Yreka was the
most loyal of all cities on my trip,
aside from our home town. Our
movies were much appreciated here
and some remained to see them the
second time. The manager of the
theatre arranged to have the film left
there for a second day's showing,
and it will probably be shipped from
there to Dunsmuir to be run on the
last day of their celebration.
The'highway over the Siskiyous is
in excellent condition, and with the
dust settled and little danger of fire,
our celebration should be the banner
attraction of the history of the
Rogue River valley..
Practically every station, large and
small, between Roseburg and Duns
muir, Klamath Falls and Weed, also
Yreka and Portland, have , been fa
vored with poems or programs or
both. Lithla Park has been almost
as much spoken of as the roundup.
Ab a whole, the entire trip was a
roaring success. Thank you.

The Roping of the
King of the Range
(For years to come cowboys of the
great plains of southeastern Oregon
will tell of the exploit of a woman,
Mrs. Will Sims, who on her pony,
Telegraph, captured the wild stallion
of Klamath county which for years
had eluded the best of Klamath's
horsemen. Mrs. Sims and the wild
stallion are both in Ashland for the
roundup. Tracy Layne, the Pendle
ton cowboy poet, puts the capture of
the range king into verse.)

There's a place in the West called
Modoc county,
Where the Modocs fought In the
long, long ago,
When Mowlch butte was a roaring
volcano
And spread her hot lava o'er the
valley below.
'Twas then that the antelope slept on
the hillside,
'Twas then that the deer hid in
the bunch grass,
Then cougar and bear and bobcats
were plenty,
But away and goodbye, they all
had to pass.
Then horses were there, yes there
by the thousands,
And they roamed o'er the hills and
lived fat as could be,
But the cowboys came west with
their ropes and their saddles
And took them away from the life
that was free.
But there was one horse which they
never could conquer,
And they never could keep this
horse with the herd;
He would quit the bunch and make
for the mountains
Or down o'er the rocks, and he'd
sail like a bird.
From C'.ar La'.e to the buttes he
Bu:-e knew the country,
From Bowl's Creek in the east to
Mowlch in the west,
And he'd stand in the rocks and
watch for the riders,
Then away he would go and ne'er
stop to rest.
Charley Duncan went out with his
old thirty-thirty,
He said he would get him or he
would know why.
He emptied his gun at the little bay
stallion,
But somehow or other the horse
didn't die.
The Pitchfork boys said they would
get him.
They ran him for days and camped
on his trail,
And time and again they thought
they would get him,
But to bring back the stallion the
boys they did fail.
For five years or more they all tried
to get him,
But he'd look back at the boys and
give them the horse laugh,
Til Mrs. Will Sims, who had heard
of the stallion,
Came out with the horse which she
calls Telegraph.
She ran him for miles and down o'er
the lava,
To Telegraph's running there was
no end.
She took down the rope and tied fast
to tbe saddle,
And roped the bay horse at the Old
Nigger Bend.
Information Bureau
At City Hall
Ribbons have been printed and are
being distributed bearing five words,
"Ask Me, I Live Here." These rib
bons will be distributed as far as they
last to the well-informed men and
women of the city who are willing to
act as bureaus of information for the
benefit of out-of-town visitors.
However, if you do not happen to
get a ribbon, make it your business
to help out the stranger in every
way possible. Greet him with a
cheery "how are you" and make him
feel that everybody in Ashland is his
friend.
Information headquarters have
been established at the city hall with
W. H. Gowdy in charge. This will
be headquarters for information con
cerning auto and team camp grounds,
eating places and sleeping accommo
dations. The phone is number 74

his business to phone in if he has
a cot or bed to spare and also if al
ready listed to phone in as soon as

dresses where no accommodations
are available.
Several thousand programs of the
three day's events have been printed
and are being distributed free. These
may be had by application at inform
ation headquarters.
If you are asked a question which
you can t answer, direct the ques
tioner to the information bureau.
Bandit Hooper
Is Arrested
John Austin Hooper, the Oregon
bandit who escaped from the Grants
Pass jail after a series of sensational
crimes, is said to have been captured
in Joplln, Mo.
Hooper was alleged to have made
a $600 haul of gold dust by robbery
in Hornbrook, Cal., to have robbed
an Oregon City street car near Cane
mah Park, getting $50, and to have
obtained more than $700 by throw
ing amonla in the face of the cashier
of the Rogue River Bank, all within
a few months prior to his arrest. He
was at that time on parole from a
life sentence in Folsom, Cal., for robbery.

His free life Is ended and his head it
hangs low,
He longs for the hills he roamed
o'er so long,
But Mrs. Will Sims still has her rope
on him,
So now he must think. of the days
that are gone.
Stage Coach Race
Will Provide Fun
One of the liveliest events of the
Rogue River Roundup will be the
stagecoach race. Hon. Benton Bow
ers, old-time stagecoach driver, has
consented to drive one of the six
horse stage teams and is lining up
his featherweight friends to swing
on the inside of the coach while
rounding the curves.
The Roundup committee has dug
up a couple of old stagecoaches which
actually saw service before the rail
road days. Just who will drive the
other coach is unknown.
Discovery of zinc in the Black
Eagle group of mines near Albany la
announced.
