I It is founded on sound principles l and has come to stay.. It is support- ed by federal and state aid as a defi ; nite form of agricultural extension I work. Boys and girls on the farm are In this work, and every possible J advantage Is extended to fit them for a better living "to improve country life," thus bettering our government. Its purpose is to enlist the boys and girls of the state in profitable and interesting activities, which will develop them into economic produc ers, thus helping these boys and girls to find themselves in useful training in place of allowing them to drift into useless or harmful occupation. It develops leadership and creates co-operation, it inspires the right at titude towards honest toll, and a spirit of sympathy for some calling, however humble. It teaches the child to learn a few basic facts relating to agriculture, animal husbandry, home economics, and relative topics, which he or she will use many times to advantage in future life. It helps to make the whole con munlty more efficient and creates a deeper respect for the school as an educational center. In Oregon club work is carried on by the Oregon Agricultural College, the United States Department of Ag riculture, and State Department of Education, all working in co-operation. There were last year 127,822 members enrolled in the club work in the United States, and 11,642 in Oregon, in the following projects. Corn growing, potato growing, vege table gardening, poultry raising, pork production, dairy herd record keeping, fruit raising, seed grain se lection, rural home beautlflcatlon, farm and home handicraft, baking, canning, and sewing. which is 17 per cent less than the production estimated last year. In Missouri, which leads In the produc tion of this variety, the present fore cast Is 1,060,000 barrels, a decrease of 41 per cent from last year, while New York forecasts a production of 865,000 barrels, an increase of 61 per cent.

The September forecast of total apple production this year In the United States, as reported by the bu reau of crop estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, is 67,- 679,000 barrels of three bushels each (agricultural and not commer cial basis), as compared with 76,- 670,000 estimated produced last year, of which not quite 65 per cent were sold. In the past ten years estimated production has exceeded the present forecast five times. Taking the country as a whole, it thus appears that the apple crop will be nearly an average, but 12 per cent smaller than last year's crop. The crop is larger than last year in the Atlantic coast states, Including New York and Pennsylvania, and in the Pacific coast states, but smaller In practical ly all the Interior states except Mich igan, wheh has about 84 per cent more than last year. Baldwins appear to be the leading crop this year, with a forecast of 9,302,000 barrels, an increase of 12 per cent over last year's production. New York's forecast is 3,841,000 barrels, an increase of 42 per cent over the estimated production last year; Pennsylvania, 933,000 barrels, an increase of 6 per cent; Massachu setts, 672,000 barrels, an increase of 16 per cent; Ohio, 566,000, a de crease of 51 per cent: Michigan, 561,000, an increase of 59 per cent;' Maine, 469,000, an increase of 108 per cent; all other states, 2,260,000, a decrease of 6 per cent, Ben Davis, which was the leading variety as to quantity last year, falls to second this year, with a forecast production of 9,245,000 barrels, Portland Stock Report, Sept. 25. Cattle Cattle sales were made on a good strong basis Monday. Re ceipts were a little more liberal than Inst week. Feeder buyers were lib eral bidders as well as killer buyers. Steers brought as high as $7, with the bulk around $6.75. Cows were in demand at $5 to $5.50 for the best. Bulls were as high as $4.10. Receipts 1,300. Hogs Hog receipts were liBht, 1,900 being yarded. The market was a brisk one and went to $10.05, with the bulk $9.90 to $10. The market closed stiong. Sheep Sheep receipts were lighter than usual, with prices on a strong basis. City Goes Into Real Estate While city councils and property owners In other Oregon cities are discussing 50-50 plans, rebondlng Issues and other schemes to pay pavement assessments, Ashland is serenely moving along with only the expected annual "holler'' from peo ple who are finding money "a little mite scarce" when the annual pay ment comes due. The reason for the lack of agitation is due to the policy which the city officials have adopted in handling delinquent pave ment taxes in relation to the proper ty owners. The city has taken over five lots in Railroad addition and three other lots because the owners did not feel that they would be able to meet the assessments. Instead of waiting until the ten years of delin quency was up, the property owners in all these cases have deeded the lots to the city. Of the eight lots which have been taken over, the city within the past few days-has sold three. Two of the lots, situated on B street in the Railroad addition, were sold for a trifle over the as sessment against them. The other lot, a triangular shaped lot at the intersection of the Boulevard and Iowa street, was sold for a trifle less than the assessment against it on account of the pavement on both sides, but at the same time for a price which Is conceded to be all the lot is worth. This leaves five lots on the city's hands, but all are worth more than the assessment against them and the city is not worrying. According to Recorder Gillette, the sum total of lots which are liable to come into the' city's hands from now on are four situated at the end of the pavement on B street. As it Is now, times are picking up, real estate values are doing anything but decreasing, and the probability of the city's having to go into the real estate business on a large scale is growing less. W. B. Holmes was the purchaser of the Eoulevard lot belonging to the city and may erect a building upon it. Mrs. Delsman "bought the B street lots ana will erect a resi dence. The lots still in the city's hands are situated on A street at the end of the pavement and on the Boule vard adjacent to the lot sold to Mr. Holmes. Jack Curley, manager of Jess WU llard and promoter of many of the biggest ring battles or recent years, became a great booster for Ashlahd during his two weeks' stay here. Every morning Mr. Curley was up with the sun, walked up to Long's cabin and ran back down again. On some days he varied this trip with hikes in other directions, but Ash land canyon was his favorite stamp ing grounds. While here he wrote letters to the Portland papers which called at tention to Ashland as a resort in not uncertain terms and now that he has continued his journey south he seems to be boosting yet. Mr. Curley Is a professional press agent, at present for the Sells-Ffoto shows, and understands how to get public ity. He took an immense liking to this city and many of the kind of people Ashland needs will hear about the city, park and mineral waters through him. Mr. Curley is, of course, widely traveled, having been around the world and having visited practically every country in the world. He has visited every famous resort of Amer ica and many of those of the Old World and does not hesitate to com pare Ashland's future favorably with any of them. The following letter from Mr. Cur ley indicates some of his regard for Ashland: San Francisco, Sept. 23, 1915. "Mr. H. O. Frohbach. Ashland, Ore. "Dear Sir I would feel ungrate full to the hospitality, of the city of Ashland, were I not permitted to pen you a few words in praise of your beautiful surroundings, your canyons, your water, your baths, your parks and its wonderful main tenance, by an aggressive, progres sive lot of good people. In passing opinion on the beau ties of Ashland. I really feel I can pass as an expert, because I have visited Baden Baden, Homburg, Karlsbad, Lourdes, Hot Springs, Ark., Excelsior Springs and hun dreds of other spots all over the world, not forgetting Yellowstone, Glacier, Banff, Lake Louise, etc., I enjoyed every minute of my stay there and cannot understand why your resort Is not constantly over crowded with tourists, sightseers and those looking for health and rest. You certainly have, plenty of ma terial for the artist in quest of paint ings. Sincerely Yours, ' "JACK CURLEY.' APE YOU INSUCED Yes, that Is a very burning ques tion sometimes!

CAMPS, E.V.JONES, THE PARK GARAGE. Local Granite Co. ' Attacks City Trust Nathan A. Tlbbits, agent for the Blair Granite Company, which is lo cated seven miles south of Ashland, has filed a complaint against seven monument dealers of Portland charg ing them with being organized in re straint of .trade. The action is brought under the Portland anti trust ordinance enacted In 1907. Tlbbits charges that monument makers in May of this year organ ized and agreed to increase the price of their product, and .to drive certain dealers out of business. The follow ing 'twelve are those against whom Tlbbits directs his complaint: Philip Neu Jr., L. L. Jones, H. J. Blacsing, J. Halland, Ernest Schu mann, J. King, Nicholas Schanen, J. M.- Imhoff, Edward Schanen, Earl Perry, "John Doe" Perry and Leon Jones. As members of the Oregon Monu ment Dealers' Asociatlon, these manufacturers adopted Gall's price book and agreed to double all book prices and then use it as the basis for minimum selling prices locally, says Tlbbits. He alleges that they also agreed not to sell any goods to him and other "independents," and furthermore blacklisted the Ashland granite in favor of an eastern prod uct. Since the organization of the "trust" he says he has been unable to do business in Portland. Several of the men named in the complaint have admitted to k Assist ant City Attorney Stanley Myers of Portland that the combination is in existence, according to the Portland Telegram. They also admitted that there had been a price-fixing agree ment, but that it was dropped some time ago. In defense of their organization, they declare It was designed to fur their business and protect the public against "carpetbaggers." Next to the Osages of Oklahoma, the Klamath Indian reservation In dians are the richest in the United States. As a community the Indians rank much higher in wealth than most white communities, the average wealth of each being $25,000. Some interesting Information regarding the Indians on the Klamath reservation, which Is so near to Ashland and yet of which but little is generally known in Ashland, is contained in an article prepared by Agent B. W. Freer of the Klamath reserve and published in the Klamath Falls Her ald. Among the interesting statements are the following "The Klamath Indian reservation, lying in the central part of Klamath county, is bordered on the west by Upper Klamath lake and Wood river and is on the direct route from Klamath Falls to Crater Lake nation al park. The reservation is 51 miles long and 45 miles wide, and contains over one and a quarter million acres, being about the size of the state of Delaware. "The reservation timber, the prop erty of the tribe, covers an area of about 800.000 acres, and has been roughly estimated at 8,000,000,000 feet. It is of good quality and is practically all pine. Stumpage is of fered for sale from time to time to the highest bidder, with a minimum price stated. The Sprague river and the lower reaches of the Williamson river, which empty into Upper Lake, have recently been opened for log ging purposes. "The Indians, who number 1,115, belong to the Klamath, Modoc and Piute tribes. There are also a few Pitt Rivers, who were slaves, or the offsprings of slaves, captured in for mer years by the Klamaths. "The Indians are unusually intelli gent and progressive. They speak English, dress in 'citizen's' clothing, occupy modern dwellings and live in a civilized manner. "The government maintains a boarding school and five day schools for the children. Farmers and stock men are employed to instruct and assist the men in farming and the care of stock; field matrons teach and help the housewives, and phy sicians attend the sick."
