Rains last Friday and tne main nanastana. xne parK drive Saturday which turned into snow was jammed with cars from the Bun in the high mountains, made hunt- j ealow to the tennis courts and Gran- Ine conditions ideal, however, and i reports of kills are coming in from every section. At least 10 parties which went out from this city to pend Sunday hunting, brought back venison. No accidents have been re ported as yet in Southern Oregon. . Among the local huntsmen who have brought in bucks are: Chaun cey Casebeer, who, the first morning out up above Prospect on Rogue river, secured a forked horn and a fine four-pointer. The forked horn he killed on the trail a few miles cut of camp, hung it up and by 10.30 had the four pointer. E. R. Grieve and Walt Frulan es tablished a camp near the Pacific highway at SlBklyou and brought in two fine ones. Tom McEnernery and Bert Bashalan, of the Southern Pa cific forces, secured two bucks the second day out. Claude Saunders left Ashland at 2 o'clock Sunday morning and was back in the city early in the afternoon with a forked horn which he got up on Red moun tain In company with EH Brushwood. Steelhead fishing is also said to be fair at present. Harry Hosier, dean of the Ashland fishermen, displays three fine steelhead which he said 4were worth the hard day In Rogue river necessary to get them Harry i got the only fish secured by his party of whom there were five, R, F. Brown, Duff Harrington, W. F. Taul and Chi Pierson. Trout fishing In all the small streams is reported good and many good catches are brought In daily. The steelhead fishing seems to run .In streaks and Sunday was an off cay. However, Harry says you have to earn any summer steelhead you catch anyway. A week ago he had an old "he-one" get away from him, which is unusual. The big fellow took a good piece of his leader.

" Probably 3000 people gathered under the trees near the bandstand and again the lack of sufficient seat ing facilities was demonstrated. The concert was well balanced and well rendered. Bandmaster Rowland has built up a band of which the city of Medford should be proud and in fact the Medfordltes showed their ap preciation by coming up about 1000 strong to hear their band in Ashland park. The park was full of people all day. At noon every table in the auto camp, picnic grounds and long the creek was filled with picnickers and scores of parties spread their lunch clothes on the grass. All of the regular jitneys and num bers of private cars and auto trucks converted into jitneys for the day, did a laud office business between the park and the lower valley towns. The eating houses of the city did a thriving business yesterday as did also the confectioneries. The nata torlums were crowded all day. Ashland hopes to hear the Med ford band again at a not far dis tant date, the concert was one of the moBt enjoyable given in the park tnlB summer, Shastina Fails To Incorporate The proposition of incorporating Shastina as a city was lost at the special election held last Wednesday in that suburb to Weed, Cal. The vote: For incorporating, 67; against incorporating, 73; majority against incorporating, 6. Shastina is the southern part of what is generally called Weed. It does not Include the sawmills, fac tories, store, bank, warehouses and office buildings of the Weed Lumber Company, but it Includes all privately owned property, Including stores, sa loons, restaurants and many dwell ings. The election was hotly contested Every woman who was entitled to vote went to the ballot box. The vote was smaller than was expected, for many voters registered too late. There are close to 300 registered voters in Shastina. Only 140 voted. A big cooperative cannery is in operation at Wheeler, Ore. Phone 80 fttttttTtTTTTTTTTTT 'iSk' v ILj Buzzard Mine May Be a Winner Klamath Falls Herald: Since Cap tain O. C. Applegate returned from the Rogue River country on Monday last he has received word from Coun ty Commissioner W. C. Leever at Central Point that returns received from the last consignment of ore from the Buzzard mine on Elk creek, near Prospect, went $395 per ton. This ore, on account of the galena which it contains, requires smelting, and is sent to the Selby company in San Francisco for that purpose. The parties who hold the $50,000 option on the mine are maturing plans to drive a 1,500-foot tunnel 500 feet below the present workings, thus hoping to open up the mine at a greater depth and eliminate the troubles they now encounter from water in the vertical shafts where they have heretofore been working Captain Applegate thinks this mine will prove to be one of the most pro ductive on the coast, and It is his opinion from investigations made from time to time during many years that the mineral range in which the Buzzard mine lies crosses the line toward the summit of the Cascades and that other rich ore bodies will yet be opened east of the Buzzard and in Klamath county. ' , Captain Applegate is one of the ten stockholders in the Buzzard mine Company. Each stockholder has 10 per cent of the stock. Band of 1,200 Goats Graze Near Crater A permit ha3 just been issued for the grazing of a band of 1,200 goats on Crater national forest, according to an announcement made by the district forester, Portland. This is the first permit issued for a large band of the animals, and is appar ently the result of the recent study made by the forest service to develop areas suitable for different kinds of stock, especially goats. The service announces that there is room for about 3,000 more head on the Crater forest, 'for two bands on the Umpqua, two bands on the Cascade and about 5,000 on the Sis kiyou and Siuslaw national forests all In Oregon. These areas have been examined by grazing experts and pro nounced suitable for goats. Further more, this range is all easily accessi ble from railroad points. It is stated by forest officers that they are anxious to have these ranges used, but they are not suit able for sheep, as they contain more underbrush than grass. The goats are more agile and courageous, the succulent underbrush is well suited to their needs,' and a rough country is no obstacle to a goat. The damage done by goats to young conifers is slight, and, it is said, they are often a real benefit in keeping down in flammable brush and thus aiding in fire protection. Jitney Drivers Face Big Charge C. L. Dusenbury and Carl Burle son, jitney drivers of Gold Hill, were arrested Friday upon warrants sworn to by Mrs. Barbara DeHorn of Gold Hill, charging them with taking her daughter Lizzie to Medford and ply ing her with intoxicating liquor on the night of August 4. Dusenbury was brought to Medford and placed under $500 bonds to appear at the preliminary hearing to be held today at 2 o'clock. Burleson can not he found and it is rumored that he has left the country. The Standard Oil Company -has built a $10,000 storage plant at Salem. Niaht Twenty-Five Years Ago in Ashland (From the files of the Tidings of August 21, 1891.) Mr. F. Roper has sold the Ashland Holler Mills to Messrs. W. E. Jacobs of Ptiyallup, Wash., and W. J. Virgin of Boardman, Wis. The sale includ ed the mill and water rights and about .two acres of ground, and the price is $12,500. At a meeting held for the purpose of making arrangements for the next annual reunion of the Southern Ore gon Pioneers' Association, A. D, Hel man presided and a committee of three, J. M. McCall, W. N. Luckey and Jacob Thompson, was appointed to secure an orator and music for the occasion. George W. Vaupel wants a first class barber. John Walker and sons have dis covered asbestos in the mountains south of Ashland. There are more than a hundred teachers in Jackson county. The fine young elm tree in the city plaza has a heavy branch on one side which will break down of its own weight and greatly damage or de stroy the .tree if it isn't cut off. The city marshal ought to attend to it and save the, tree. ' E. D. Briggs shot a fine buck up the canyon the first of the week. Four immense engines, each to weigh 123,000, are to arrive from Schenectady soon for the Southern Pacific. Cllf Payne and Ad Graham had an experience in camp life over at Beav er creek last week.

Remits Fine of Medford Man Governor Withycombe has remit ted the fine of Arthur Diltz, who was given a one hundred day sentence and a heavy fine in the circuit court of Jackson county for violating the prohibition law. Diltz and other Medfordltes were arrested for sell ing liquor and found to have several barrels in their possession. The ar rest occurred at tho same time and through the Instrumentality of the "spotters" who made a failure of their attempts to fasten a charge of bootlegging on Ashland residents. More Extracts From State Papers Hood River News. Another delightful feature was the auto ride to Ashland and thence up the SiskiyoU mountains to the Cali fornia line. This mountain road has recently been paved, as has also the link of the Pacific Highway between Medford and Ashland, and Jackson county's splendid roads attracted much favorable comment. Returning from this jaunt, the "moulders of public opinion" were charmingly en tertalned in the city park at Ashland, and here an Impression was received which will long linger as a pleasant recollection. Ashland is proud of her park system and her fountains of bubbling lithia water recently piped into the city from the natural springs. nere a delicious box lunch was served and some "orating" indulged In. Ashland's beautiful Lithla park ranked with Crater Lake In the Im pression made upon the visitors. L. S. Bennett represented the News at the convention and, in common with other members of the fraternity, he pronounced the meeting "the best ever." ItoKue River Areas. Returning over the Sisklyous, we stopped at Ashland's beautiful Lithla park. Right here I wish to repeat what I heard a gentleman from Port land direction say: That he did not think anything in the way of a park in the United States could equal Ash land's park save in our very largest cities, the reason, of course, being the beautiful stream of water which flows through It and which nothing artificial could reproduce. I consid ered that a very fine compliment not only for Ashland but for Jackson county as well. On arriving in Lithia park luncheon was served us, and I believe every editor took his hat off to the Ashland ladles for the moBt unique as well as satisfactory way in which that luncheon was served. We were first given cups and spoons, then conducted to a table piled high with paper boxes. Every person was given one of these boxes. We then found seats at the numerous tables scattered over the park. On opening these boxes we found the following: Three sandwiches, two kinds of cake, pickles, deviled eggs, two peaches and one apple. This with our cup of coffee made a very fine lunch Ana tnis was not all there was: an ice cream cone for every one who wished It. By the means of these boxes 130 people were served In an incredibly short time. After looking the park over and listening to the boys' band of Oakland for a time we wended our way back to the Medford hotels. Woodmen Coining From Many Points Saturday of this week, August 26, is the dale of the Woodmen of the World and Women of Woodcraft pic nic in Lithia park.

Up to 1857, or for eighteen years after the lirst game of baseball wa played, there was no limit to tho num ber of tunings, the Urst side scoring twenty-one runs, or "aces," as they were then called, being the winner. In 1857, however, the gnme was divided iuto nine Innings. The pitcher had a Uue twelve feet long, kept behlDd it and could take a short run before bis delivery, just the same as Is permitted In cricket today. In 18(i3 the old "line" for the pitcher to stand behind wus done away with and the twirler limited to a "box" twelve feet long and four feet wide, but In this area be could roam at will and throw from whatever spot he pleased. A few years later the "box" was made six feet square, and In 187C It ffns again reduced to four feet wide and six feet long. Ten years later It was made a foot longer and a foot wider and in 1887 cut down In length to five and one-half feet These "boxes" being always a source of much chunge and discussion, they were finally abolished altogether and) a rubber slab 12 by 4 inches took their place, the pitcher being required lo keep bis back foot agulnst the slab. This slab was enlarged to two feet by six Inches In 1805 and has remained the same since. Philadelphia Bulletin. GROW, BUT D0N7 SWELL 8ava Exertion of Boasting and Use It In Doing Your Talks.
