"Birth of a Nation" Immense Production "The Birth of a Nation," the mas terpiece of the wizard film director, David Wark Griffith, founded on Thomas Dixon's story, "The Clans man," opens a three-day engagement at the Page Theatre, Medford, Thurs day, July 27. This spectacle has bad phenomenal success all over the country. It ran for S00 consecutive performances in New York, thus exceeding by 55 per formances any other consecutive run In the history of the New York stage. Wherever it has been shown It has been with the same remarkable suc--cess. There have been no details left undone to make the production of this picture as remarkable as the plc "ture Itself. A thirty-piece orchestra under the the great Lincoln. West Point en gineers laid out the great battle scene of Petersburg from maps and re ports to the war department at Wash ington. Intimate details ' of the action were supplied by veterans who fought on either side. Night ph t&graphy was perfected for the first time to secure battle scenes in the dark. Prohibition Has Stage for a Day Monday was W. C. T. U. day. ' The lecture in the afternoon was by Wal ter H. Evans, district attorney of Multnomah county. His subject was "Prohibition Law Enforcement." Mrs. Sleeth, one of the state vice presidents, had charge of the meet ing. As a prelude to the lecture, Mrs. Elmore sang a solo, Miss Mc- dlrectlon of George Koehelr, former- Donald read a selection, and Mr. ly conductor of the Minneapolis Sym phony and for years soloist with Sousa's band, is carried with it, to Brooks gave several of his poems. Mr. Evans' lecture was a good talk from every point of view. It was render special music. Every effect the business man's lecture straight shown upon the screen is reproduced to the point. He said that people do by the orchestra. The cannons' not turn to prohibition because of boom, the guns' reports, echo through I duty. They do it because they find the theatre till the spectators feel they are actually in the throes of bat tle. A few facts about "The Birth of a Nation" will disclose the magnifi cence of the production. There are more than 5,000 dlHtlnct scenes In It. Eighteen thousund people and 3,000 liorses were utilized in making the It more economical to do so. The W. C. T. V. women have used statis tics to kill the use of liquor. At first almost everyone used it, then some people began to realize that it was bad, large companies began to con sider It In their hiring and promoting of men, and now almost everyone ad mits that it is bad. One of the hin- Barrymore at Vining Tuesday The incomparable Jack Barrymore has played many roles on the screen, including princes, dictators, gentle men of extremely elegant leisure and other interesting types, but he has never before played a crook. This remarkable characterization he has reserved for his latest Famous Players-Paramount picture, "The Lost Bridegroom," which Is the attraction at the Vining Theatre Tuesday of this week. Of course Barrymore Is not a bona fide crook In the picture. lie has been hit on the head by two thugs while returning from lils bach elor dinner on the eve of his wedding to Dorothy Hardin, and has com pletely lost his memory as a result of the blow. After falling off a dock upon which he elects to take an impromptu nap, Bertie for that is the alias under which Barrymore travels in this film stumbles into a saloon which is the headquarters for an assorted gang of thieves, holdup experts and card sharps."" Bertie's entrance into this hitherto unexplored stratum of so ciety is nothing if not picturesque. His assailants stole his overcoat, dress coat and waistcoat, but left his top hat. So our hero enters the saloon clad in dress trousers, the upper por tion of his B. V. D.'s and his top hat, carrying his white shirt over his arm; having removed that to dry it after his fall Into the river. His adven tures when the habitues of the saloon try to make a gentleman burglar of him are thrilling and laughable. Militia Company At Fort Stevens On Wednesday night at 7:30 Dr. Carnahan will resume the lessons in prophetic teaching which were laid aside during Chautauqua. Picnic. Thursday evening a most congenial group gathered at the Llthla Park picnic grounds and enjoyed a "feed" which must have been worth gather ing around, from the description giv en by one of those who was there. Those In the party were Messrs. and Mesdames P. H. Graves and daughter Frances, J. R. Casey, C. H. Harga dlne and daughter Virginia, B. L. Nichols and Miss Helene Casey. narrative. Mr. Griffith worked forjdrances to making prohibition laws eight months without a let-up to com plete the picture. The approximate cost of the production was $300,000. The women's dresses of the period of 1860 used up 12,000 yards of cloth. Over 25,000 yards of white material was sewed Into the cos tumes of the Ku-Kluk Klans. Two hundred seamstresses worked for two months to make these costumes historically correct and appropriately has been the Interstate commerce laws. The interstate traffic was un der federal jurisdiction, and state laws could not touch the shipments of liquor while in the original pack age. Then came the Webb-Kenyon law, which took the respectability off it and gave the state a chance at it. The time is not ripe for the proposed absolute prohibition amendment. People are not ready for it. It is not It. It Is going to be the same old fight at this election and the people must get behind it. The officers are sometimes on the wrong side, but da not be too suspicious of them. picturesque. Five thousand wonts (needed to duck tne nrewers' amena and reports on the history of the Civil ' ment.

J ' First National Bank ASnLAND, OREGO.V. Olditt National Bank In Jackson County i (By A. Bert Freeman.) Fort Stevens, Ore., July 11. Spec ial to the Tidings. The first com pany, C. A. C, arrived safely in Fort Stevens at 5 p. ra. Sunday evening fter a trip enjoyed by every mem ber of the company. The only draw back was the continuous rainfall, which began shortly after leaving Ashland. For those who had never seen northern Oregon the scenery held much that was of Interest. The time was whiled away by cards, songs that are known only to soldiers going to encampment, and yelling "Let 'lm buck," "Scratch 'im, cowboy," and other cowboy yells at every station. An Interesting item of the journey was the sight of a large barkentlne anchored above Astoria the Ana dolphus Vlnnen, from Bremen, which caused much speculation as to wheth er It was Interned or not. In camp a quaret composed of "Kennle" McWllllams, Don Walker, "Bud" Burdic and "Sleepy" Merrill sing all the old favorite airs and some that are very late (at night). Today (Monday) was filled to over flowing with exciting events. After a good breakfast furnished by Cooks Phillips and Burnett the company fell In for their first instruction on the big coast defense guns. It is an immensely difficult task for the regu lar army Instruction officers to traiu a company of men unused to the guns how to perform their duties without getting in each others' way. . There were several near accidents before everybody found their place. "Sleepy" Merrill, while standing directly be hind the gun, came nearly stopping the rammer as the ramming detail withdrew It from the gun on the run, by getting his head in the way. As the rammer weighs twenty-five or thirty pounds he was very fortunate in dodging it in time. A little later the gun was accidentally tripped and went into battery with the breech open and the breech block projecting to one side of the gun. It tore off one side of the gun pointers' plat form, which is directly beside the gun and about eight or ten feet above the pit. The gun pointer. Sergeant Harry Sayle's, attention was called In time to prevent him being caught between the open breech block and the railing around his platform. In the afternoon during one of the trial loadings the 604-pound projectile slipped back out of the powder cham ber and narrowly missed hitting Earl Withrow's foot. In the evening regimental parade was held on the parade grounds. To morrow morning we go one mile and a half to Battery Russell, on the ! ocean, for practice on the later model guns, with which we expect to make some records later. We are comfortably quartered here, having the best tents in camp, with electric lights, cots with hay mattresses, and a stove. The last mentioned is appreciated here most of the time, where one may see over coats and rubber boots all the year round. Ashland's climate looks good to all the members of the first com pany, who advertised its famous lithla water by taking several can teens full along and sharing It with some of the officers from other companies.

He said some critics likened It to Gray's "Elegy in a Coun try Church Yard." It was really a good poem with much fine sentiment In it. One of his selections was "The Ace." He gave this on his former visit. On Tuesday afternoon he gave "The Whistling Boy," another selec tion given here before by him. This is one of the best of his poems.

A subscription list is being circu lated by Leander Neil and others in the city in an effort to raise $500 with which to open up the Dead In dian road to Lake of the Woods for automobiles. A road crew is work ing out in that region now, and the public-spirited men who are behind the project hope to raise the money so that the crew may work on through on the road. The Dead In dian road is in good shape over the mountain and 'to the forest reserve. Through the reserve the road is In fair shape until within a few miles of the lake. A very small amount of work, comparatively, would open up the road and put the most beautiful camping place in the west within two hours by automobile from Ashland. Lake of the Woods, although accessi ble only by team except to the most intrepid motorists, yearly has hun dreds of campers on its shores, and last year at the height of the huckle- berry season had over 300 people there at one time.
