i Club Work Is HiinimI on Sound Prin.
! ciplcs. v
1 Club work is the performance of
definite enterprises based upon the
I most economic practices of the farm
and home.
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.

This Year's Apple Crop Smaller Than
Last Year's.
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,

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! If you are not fully
protected by insurance against fire,
NOW is the time to attend to It.
Don't put off until tomorrow what
can be done today. How about that
home, merchandise, automobile, etc.?
v Did you ever stop to think just
how little It will cost you to carry
your Insurance compared to the ben
efits which you receive? A few dol
lars invested today may save you a
thouaand tonight.

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."
