McClelland, Fred Spore and "Red" Bush, from as many places. William Matheney, Ross Carml chael, Joe Riddenhour and Roy Jen kins will come with the cattle to night.

Several hundred feet of steel pipe, a pump and numerous other articles used In drilling and pumping by the United States Reclamation Service, now on the bottom of Tule lake on the Ore-(ton-California line south of here, are soon to be raked by the service by means of a powerful magnet. The work of raising them will be super vised by Engineer Shadier of the Reclamation Service. The articles were being used when the Reclamation Service was drilling in Tule lake with the hope of forcing an outlet for the lake into the lava beds, and in that way be able to drain the lake and reclaim its area. Hail Beats Grain Down. Klamath Falls, Sept. 4. Accord ing to Fred C. Collman, Btar route carrier between this city and Swan, Ore., IS miles east of here, three and one-half Inches of rain fell in 20 minutes In Upper Swan Lake val ley yesterday afternoon. Mr. Coll man said he knew this because there was an empty barrel by his house at the time of the rain and that it con tained that amount of water when the downpour stopped. Grain was knocked out of the heads on to the ground by the heavy hail which fell at the same time, and Mr. Collman estimates that he lost perhaps 200 bushels of grain in that manner. The rain and hall were confined to a very small area at the upper end of Swan Lake valley. A house and lot on Vista street belonging to the William Jones es tate has been sold to L. G. Glieve of Vaupel's store. E. W. Wilson, deputy county sher iff, was in Ashland Thursday. J. P. DODGE & SONS Undertakers State Licensed Emfealmer Lady Assistant Deputy County Coroner (By Henry G. Gilmore.) Last Thursday evening furnished unmistakably, one of the most Inter esting occasions that has fallen to the lot of vigorous "little Talent" within tue "memory of man" to use not an entirely hackneyed proc lamation of an interesting fact Chiefly through the strenuous and well-directed efforts of Mrs. John H Fuller and Miss Alice Vander Sluis, a happy throng, not only of listeners but of performers, hailing directly from both Medford and Ashland, as sembled in the M. E. church and made the welkin ring in no uncet tain fashion in the shape of a con cert in which both quality and quantity significantly asserted them selves during the entire perform ance. Ashland was represented and most worthily represented by Mrs. Henry T. Elmore and Mrs. A. L. Strickland and, under the leadership of the veteran George Andrews, Med ford contributed its quota In the per sons of Miss Florence Hazelrlgg (so prano), Mrs. Isaacs (contralto), Mr. Fletcher Fish (tenor) and Mr. Vaw ter (baritone) known far and wide for their uniformly excellent work as a musical quartet, besides the in spiring appearance of Mr. W. Carlton Janes, the violinist, and the added assistance of Mrs. G. Andrews and Mrs. Janes as accompanists. The menu muslcale consisted of a dozen or more well-selected num bers, and so thoroughly appreciative was the audience that insistent en cores became the order of the even ing. Miss C. Vogeli, a promising young artiste, made her appearance both as a solo pianiBte and accom panist, with a success well nigh phe nomenal. She exhibited a well-de- veloye technique, an intelligent com prehension of what were Mr. Men- elssohn able to be present would be demanded of her in his Rondo Capriccloso, and the contrast was well marked between the andante In the first movement and the presto furioso (so to speak) in the second. "The "Miller's Wooing" was splen didly interpreted by the Medford singers; an encore was graciously re sponded to, and the "Barbara Friet chie," declaimed with much dra matic fervor by Mr. George Andrews who has a baritone range extend ing clear from cellar to roof evi denced the possession of a voice rich in mixed qualities, splendidly trained and judiciously used as it would appear at all times during his pro fessional career. Along with Mr. Andrews came another singer from Medford in the person of Mr. Fletch er Fish, who, with his sweet light tenor voice, did admirably in Bart lett's exceedingly melodious "A Dream." He was vociferously en cored and graciously responded with a number equally "taking." Mr. Janes, while he does not, perhaps, draw a tone from the "fiddle de de" the equal of a Fritz Krlstler, Is, nev ertheless, a painstaking artist and a capital teacher, and In his Wlenlaw ski number he gave great pleasure by his clean cut and exceedingly melodious interpretation of an ex acting theme. Mrs. Janes' accom paniments added largely to the unity and finish of a great musical creation. Of Miss Vander Sluis' performance In the "Valse Trlste," by Sibelius, and the Beethoven Minuet, with Mr. Janes, It would be Impossible to speak too highly of her work as an aspiring musician, She Is thorough ly in earnest, painstaking in all she undertakes, and Is not likely to leave the Oregon University, at Eugene (which she ,1s soon to enter), with out being able to give a good account of herself. She secures popular ap preciation wherever she goes, and her services as an accredited corre spondent of the Tidings attest her capability of doing things and al ways well besides making the vio lin talk during sundry hours of the day. One of the most attractive features of the concert was the debut In Tal ent of Mrs. Henry T. Elmore, a new comer from Augusta, Maine, and whose residence amongst us can not but be fraught with the utmost good in the furtherance in the Rogue River valley, and out of It, of all that Is best in music. With .a. so prano voice of by no means limited range and trained by the best Bos ton and European teachers, and a fine discrimination of the propriety of things musical, Mrs. Elmore is, in her self, a tower of strength in any vocation. If proper breath control, singing with an open throat, with a full mastery of llptual service, hav ing a decent regard to correct pro nunciation and enunciation, and "telling the story" in a comprehen sive and intelligent manner stand for anything at all, then indeed the lady from Augusta, Maine, and other parts of the world's dominions, in her travels, renders her a veritable traveler, Indeed. In her Puccini and other bracketed numbers, by Clutsam, Franz and Spross, Mrs. El more's performances were as fin ished as they were soul-stirring to her spellbound and appreciative lis teners. Loud applause and Insistent encores followed Mrs. Elmore's every vocal effort. Not a little of the artiste's success during the evening was due to the admirable accompaniments of Mrs. Strickland, who possesses the dis criminating good sense come what may of never intruding her instru ment into the lawful domain of the vocalist whose singing she Is called upon to sustain, and, with well- trained digitals, to embellish. The really first-class accompanist Is, the world over, a rare bird indeed, and, as such, refrains from seeking the limelight to the discomfort of her companion in song. This article would .indeed, be in complete if we omitted to state three things: (1) The very capital sing ing of the chorus choir In Plnsutl's ever tuneful "Good Night, Good Night, Beloved" under the skillful leadership of Mrs. J. H. Fuller, who stands ready at all tlmi to help for ward every laudable undertaking In Talent; (2) that the piano indebted ness has been reduced by an array of good honest dollars, and (3) that the M. E. church In Talent is especially blessed in having with a consecrat ed helpmeet a spiritual overseer to preside over its destinies in the per son of the Rev. M. C. Reed, who leaves no stone unturned calculated to help forward the religious and so cial betterment of the community.

Main Phone 107 Hunters Warned To Be Careful Forest Service Bulletin: Empha sizing the destruction of property and human life caused by careless hunters, a warning issued by the Forest Service urges all sportsmen on the national forests to use the greatest possible care to prevent for est fires and to avoid such accidents as caused the death of Forest Ranger Clark on the Cabinet national forest In Montana last year. Mr. Clark was mistaken for a bear by a careless hunter, who fired with out waiting to be sure what he was shooting at. To show that such ac cidents are not uncommon, the warn ing quotes an estimate of the Biolog ical Survey that between 150 and 200 persons are annually killed in hunting accidents in this country and that this number Is increasing. Fur thermore, It is stated that 15 per cent of all the forest fires in the national forests are caused by care less hunters and other campers.

Mills May (lose For Lack of Freight Cars. Eugene, Sept. 5. "We will have to close both of our mills If the car, situation does not get any better," said A. C. Dixon, manager of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, last night. "Lumber Is piling up and we can find no place for it. At the present time we are 116 cars short of what we ought to have that is, we have orders and the lumber on hand to fill that many cars for im mediate shipment." There was a rumor on the streets yesterday that the company had de cided to close the Wendling mills at once on account of the car shortage, but Mr. Dixon said last night no or ders have been given to that effect. He said that the railroad company officials tell him they are entirely helpless In the matter and that they are doing the best they can.
