Many Bucks Have
Been Brought In
The first few days of the deer
hunting season yielded small returns
to the huntsman who went out from
Ashland to the famous Southern Ore-
pon wilds. 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.

Record-Breaking
Sunday Crowd
The largest crowd which has visit
ed I.lthla park on Sunday this sum
mer listened to the Medford band
give a most excellent concert from
us street iurnisnea space ior a num-
ber more. "
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

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.

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

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

left the country.

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.

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.

THE PITCHER'S BOX.
In Baseball's Early Days It Was Just
a Line Twelve Feat Long.
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.

engravlncs which was held at 5, a
sum which, be suid, "I could not Just
theu spare or at least did not think 1
ou?bt to spare. 1 took John Forster
down to see the Hogarths, whereupon
he actually said that be would and
must have tbem himself and as he hod
not 5 of loose money at that moment
I should lend that sum to him. I
pointed out the absurdity of the posi

the money; how, then, could I lend It
to blin? It was of no use. He over
ruled me. had the 5 of me and bought
