Two of the young ladies of the Pasmore trio, who a few years ago were popular Chautauqua attrac tions here while their father, Prof. H. B. Pasmore, conducted the musi cal classes at Chautauqua, are to be married, or rather one Is married and one Is soon to be. The follow ing from the Oakland Enquired will interest the many Ashland friends of the young ladies: "When. Mary Pasmore. the well known violinist, went to Lagunitas yesterday and was quietly wedded to Ray B. Burrell, the man of her choice, she presented a strong con trast to the methods of her sister, Suzanne, pianiste, who formally an nounced her engagement a few weeks ago. Mary did not even announce her plans to her family, though ten tatively she bad their concurrence, for, according to her father, H. B. Pasmore. he had brought up his girls from early youth to eschew the way of rigid conventionality and urged them to go and get married quietly when you get ready.' "Suzanns Pasmore told the public gome weeks ago that she was going to marry Digby S. Brooks, but sister Mary beat her to the altar, Just the same. However, Pasmore, pere, said yesterday. I should not be at all surprised if Suzanne did just the same as Mary has done, In spite of her announcement. She may come in any day and say she is married, and that Is quite all right with us. Even now we only have heard that Mary Is married, and Mrs. Pasmore and 1 are posing here as stricken par ents and waiting to do the forgiving act. "Burrell is a well-known artist of this city, his etchings having received wide recognition. That is his profes sional life, but he is also a 'cellist, and th,elr musical tastes brought him and Miss Pasmore into close sympa thy. Pasmore spoke most highly of his son-in-law, and added: 'No, we are not really surprised at the elope ment. Those two young people have been showing serious symptoms for some time, and we knew there was a marriage in the air.' " Dorcas Society. The Dorcas Society of the Chris tian church met at Mrs. Walker's home on Beach street Thursday. After a business meeting in which the ladles planned a bazaar to be held In December, games were played of a nature to require some good guessing. W. L. Melllnger received the prize for the best guesser, and since all the ladies received a sample of his nice box of candy, no one was disappointed.

Buck, Long, Peachey, Harrington, E. N". Smith, Hattie Smith, Walker, Swingle, Clark, Yokum, Melllnger, Morrison, Dennis, Beebe, Wallen, Dyrude, and Misses May Benedict, Mildred and Lola Walker, Margaret Melllnger, Lorano Smith, Ona Wil der, Mildred Rowley, Vera Wright and W. L. Mellinger. Two Days' Offering At Vining Theatre Tonight. A Famous Players picture with Frank Losee in the leading role Is tonight's Vinins attraction. "The Evil Thereof" is a screen philippic against the evils of money that is spent only for self-gratification, re gardless of the human cost at which It is bought. The photoplay traces the history of three hundred-dollar bills, which are obtained by crime, by suffering and by the sweat of the brow, and which find their way to a gay and reckless member of the idle rich, who gives the bills to some guests at a risque party in the form of souvenirs. As each guest picks up the bill, its history is depicted on the screen. Tuesday. Ann Pennington, famous star, conies Tuesday night in "Susie Snow flake," a story of the musical com edy world which by its uniqueness is bound to attract. Miss Pennington's diminutive stat ure, her tremendous black eyes, her Indescribably appealing personality and her genuine histrionic ability which have already won her the fore most rank among musical comedy stage stars will unquestionably as sure her an equal success on the screen. There Is something Irre sistibly appealing about "Susie," and Miss Pennington has caught the charm of this little dancer who scan dalizes her maidenly aunts and sets a whole town agog when she brings her Broadway ideals into the com munity. Wednesday. On Wednesday Bessie Barrlscale, who needs no introduction, comes In "Brown Eyes and Bullets," an en trancing story of love and war, and also a two-reel comedy scream, Friday at the Nat.

I i Hallow-een Goods at lk 1 5, 10 and 15c Store J MimtiMHtt milium Appeal for Immediate Relief Armenian women and children are eating dogs and dead animals to pre vent starvation in the Arabian desert and have even In some Instances been driven to cannibalism by the lack of food in the districts to which they have been deported by order of the Turkish government. Letters just transmitted through official channels to the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief from the trustworthy ob servers in interior Turkey make this indisputable. Previous letters from these sources, received by Charles R. Crane, treasurer of the committee, No. 70 Fifth avenue, New York, re ported that tens of thousands of the Armenian women and children near Aleppo and Dor el Zor, one of the center of extensive marsh kinds, the other on the fringe ot the Arabian desert, were eating grass to keep from death and that thousands died daily. A letter dated September 3. and just received from Dor el Zor, says, in part: "Tell our missionaries that their college children young and old, are dying of hunger. To look at them breaks one's heart. Many pure young girls are driven by hunger to seek refuge at the hearths of Arab ian men to whom they are sold for bread. Mothers wander about in de spair to find bread for the little ones, young people weakened by hunger, appear like old people, prematurely aged. We must dally buy back at least three or four young girls, else they will be completely lost. "The people kill and eat the street dogs. A short time ago they killed and ate a dying man. A women cut off her hair and sold it for bread. I saw a women in the street eat the clotted blood of an animal. Up till now all fed themselves with grass but that, too, is now dried up. Last night w came to a house, the occu pants of which had eaten nothing for three days. The wife had a child In her arms and tried to give it a crumb of bread to eat. The child could eat no more: it groaned and died in her arms. A mother threw herself Into the Euphrates after she had seen her child die of hunger. A father did the same. The people we meet In the street look hardly like human be ings." A letter from Hamam, Dated Sept. 1, reads: "If It goes on like this, with star vation all about us here in the 1000 Armenian tents, the greater part of the people, perhaps all, will perish of hunger and misery. The people fight for the clotted blood of killed animals. They gnaw the bones which they find: they look for grains of oats in refuse. They also eat the flesh of fallen animals and men. Many who cannot bear It any longer throw themselves In to the Euphrates.-' A third letter received from Sep- ka. and dated August 27, says: "I ask aid of you for a crowd of more than 2500 miserable, hungry people, dried up to skeletons. Many die of hunger every day. The grave diggers are always busy. The groans and lamentations in the market place in the streets and out in the quiet desert, give our hearts no rest." Every citizen Is earnestly request ed to contribute to a fund now being raised for the relief of the Armen ians and Serbians. Contributions may be left at McNair Brothers drug store or with the Beaver Realty com pany. R. R.

The Southland The Administration (From the Chicago Tribune of October 12.) Mr. Vance McCormlck, democratic national chairman, confines his lat est dally effort to be interesting, at whatever cost of accuracy, to a de nial that the south has been espec ially favored In the division of pork by the democracy. He makes the error of specifying too precisely and names the good roads grab as a sam ple of fairness. Opportunely there arrives the Danville Commercial-News, which has made an analysis of the good roads grab, and is aware that Mr. Wilson is soon to make one of his famous r.onpolitical speeches in In dianapolis before a good roads con gress. The Danville paper Is sure that Mr. Wilson will discuss the good roads bill "with real emotion." Accordingly it presents him with ma terial for his speech, pointing out how the initial $5,000,000 Is divid- j ed. "Of this sum Indiana will receive 1135.747." saye the Commercial-i News. "Indiana has a population of 2,700.tn0. Being an enterpris ing state, her total valuation is $5, 194.000,000. Because of her enter prise Indiana has become a shining mark for the democratic taxgather er, and last year she paid into the federal treasury In ordinary Inter nal revenue taxes, in 'emergency' taxes, and in corporation and per uana! Income taxes the not incou- , siderable sum of $30,947,000. "By way of comparison It is inter esting to note that the state of Geor gia has a population of 2,609,000, almost the same as Indiana's. The valuation of Georgia is, however, only $2,382,000,000, a little less than half that of Indiana, because Georgia is not so enterprising by half as Indiana. Georgia also is much more niggardly in her contri butions to the federal treasury, for in the last year she paid only $1, 370,000 to Uncle Sam as against the more than thirty millions paid by Indiana. "Yet Georgia will get from Mr. Wilson's lavish hand $134,329 of federal load money, or only $1,418 less than Indiana gets. Mr. Wilson and his democratic congress have mulcted Indiana about thirty times as hard as they did Georgia, yet they have given Georgia practically the same sum from the public roads money." It is mentioned that Illinois has double Gtorgia's population and a valuation seven times as great. It pays fifty times as much to the gov ernment and obtains less than twice as much. Ohio has twice Georgia's population and four times its valua tion. It pays thirty times as much and In return receives less than twice as much. "We think that the president, with his well known felicity of ex pression, can take these figures and make a mighty interesting speech out of them." continuea the genial Commercial-News. "We are sure that the people of. Indiana, Illinois and Ohio would be Interested in the Too good to think of missing. sermon which Mr. Wilson could preach from bis text. We supply this material and we make this sug gestion to the president wholly out of the goodness of our hearts." Will Sell Timber From Indian Land Klamath Falls Herald: A plan for selling from the Klamath Indian res ervation each year enough timber to yield approximately $200,000 is an nounced by Superintendent William B. Freer. The announcement come followjng the visit here recently of J. P. Kinney, assistant forester, and really the biggest man in the fores try department of the United States Indian service. It is expected that within two months advertisements will be pub lished asking for bids on several unit 8 of Indian timber. The timber is to be sold to provide money for the Indians to use in buy ing breeding stock and implementa and generally Improving their homes. The Klamath Indians now potential ly are very wealthy, but their wealth consists of land and timber. It Is the scheme of the Indian service to sell some of this timber for wealth that can be used now by the Indians. There is no intention of selling any large portion of the timber at once, but enough annually to bring in about $200,000. Another Color 0nGnzzly Hills Another color black has been added to the many famed shifting colors of the Grizzly hills across bear creek from the city. The black is due to the fact that J. Arant is burn ing off vast quantities of foxtail. Green grass will soon spring up and furnish feed for Arant's flock of 300 sheep which he brought over from Klamath county. Mr. Arant Is now living in the Walte bungalow acros th,e creek from the city. Mark V.
