Penniston Starts Park Honor Roll An honor roll upon which every man, woman and child In Ashland should be anxious to have his or her ' name will be started as the result of a niiblic-snirited offer upon the part , of S Penniston. Realizing that with the land Is sublrrigated In some man the far from abundant funds avail- ner. Too much water sacrifices the able this year, the park board will be able to do little In the way of plant ing new shrubs and trees, and also that these shrubs and trees Bhould be planted this year. Mr. Penniston originated the Idea of a park beauti fication fund to be contributed to by the citizens of Ashland and to be de voted entirely to the purchase of shrubs and trees. Mr. Penniston has j agreea vo Be - "'"" on shrubs and trees to the cause profits in no way from the proposl-1 tion which he Is backing for the sake of the park which he loves.

To the Citizens of Ashland and Vi cinity: We are in need of shrubs and ornamental trees for the beautlfir cation of our park. Planting Bhrubs and trees enhances the beauty and value of our park. No one feature in beautifying the park will enhance Its beauty more than planting suita ble groups of shrubs and trees, both as single speciments and In groups to hide some objectionable feature in the landscape. I will not go into details of plant ing at the present time, but will ask the citizens of Ashland and vicinity to subscribe as liberally as they can towards a fund for the purpose of ob taining shrubs and trees suitable for this purpose. The shrubs and trees will cost from 50 cents to $5 each. I am representative of a nursery, and will allow my commission for extra shrubs and trees, which will be about 25 per cent, or, in, other words, for every $100 subscribed the park will receive $125 in value. Our several banks have kindly con sented to receive subscriptions and care for the funds. A subscription list will be placed in each bank. Any amount from the widow's mite to the rich man'B abundance will be thank fully received. Personally I am ready to help, aid and assist in every possible way I can.

Mrs. Palmer met Ferguson while In Oregon and was impressed with him. She offered him $150 a month to teach the young men how to ride and shoot."

Many Turn From Turkey to Chicken An unorganized hut very effective boycott on turkey played the deuce for the centerpiece of the Thanksgiv ing dinner, and as a result many dressed turkeys were left hanging In the shops when the stores closed Thanksgiving eve.

Optimistic About OregonYMines Portland Telegram: Through the. apathy of Oregonians the mining In-j dustry of the state is languishing, I when It should be one of the most active industries, declared W (1 j Page, San Francisco mining man, j who is in Portland today, lie prur I diets tint a few years more will find i southern Oregon humming with min I ing activity. I "The slate lias some splendid enp i per properties and should develop a ! great milling district particularly in Jackson, Doughs and Josephine 'counties," said Mr. Page. "The j trouble with Oregon is that Its own citizens do not go Into tho business. They have bought cheap stocks In some Instances nnd then believed that they were mining. Properly handled, the mining business has no risk attached to It other than the risk of money that goes Into prelim inary examination of prospects.( "Eastern capital has Its eye on Oregon's minlngi district and will waste no time In getting hold ot the best prospects unless Oregonians themselves take steps to corral them; "Now that the railroad Is extended through to Marshfleld, I look for de velopment of the coppei lodes, and logically copper ore will be smelted on the coast, probably In the Coos Bay section." Park Superintendent Graves Discharged Superintendent P. II. Graves of the Ashland parks was discharged Satur day by the park board and left Sun day for "an Francisco. According to members of the park board, lack of funds made the laying off of all the men and the discharge of Mr. Graves necessary. Mr. Graves was sent here by John McLaren, the famous land scape artist and park designer of San Francisco, who laid out Lithla park at the request of President Sproule of the Southern Pacific Company. Mr. Graves is regarded by Mr. Mc Laren as a very valuablo man and It is understood that the discharged mnn goes from here to a much better position which has been open to him near San Francisco but which he has refused heretofore owing to his in terest In the creation of Lithla park here. In the time that he has been here Mr. Graves has gnlned some wonder ful effects In Lithla pnrk, as anyone who visits the park can testify. The entrancing perpetual color schemes which his flowers painted against the green backgrounds of the park, all of which were planted less than a year ago, give only a hint of the ef fects which may be gained by system atic planting for future years of pe rennial shrubs, bulbs and plants. Hid Interest In the park has been that of a sculptor In his mnstc-rplece, and Ashland loses a very valuable man In the departure of Mr. Graves. During the past twelve years the annual expenditures on the rural roads and bridges In the United States have Increased from about $80,000,000 to about $282,000,000, or an increase of more than 250 per cent. During this same period the annual expenditures from state funds for road and bridge construction and maintenance have Increased from $2, 550,000 to $53,492,000, or almost 2,00d per cent. Only twenty more days to have Xmas, photos made. Come In now and we will have them, ready when you want them. Stndlo Ashland. It Before a crowd of over 1,500 rabid football fans, with music by two 1) 11 (Is and the enthusiastic cheering of two well-organized rooting sections urging them on, Ashland and Med lord high schools battled for tha championship of southern Oregon at Medford Thanksgiving day, Medford winning by a 10 to 0 score in an evenly contested game. Tho Medford team outplayed the Ashlanders In practically every de partment, but by hucIi a small mar gin as to be hardly noticeable. The Ashland team displayed tho same failing which has been evident in for mer games this year and showed but I line nasi) in uu'U i rue iorin. in uiu third quarter the wearers of the red and white suddenly nwoke to true form and for five minutes were sim ply irresistible, marching over, through and around the Medford Jino with n steam rollerlili' precision which brought the cheering fans up on their toes, for five minutes thi locals played the real football ot which they have shown themselves I ,;lable on several occasions this ' 1 l" " Slumped iiiicK lino uiu state or list li'ssness. lliroui.ni tlm rest of the game the locals fought individually like demons and appear ed to be doing their best, but the psy chological moment for n score wai past. D'td the whistle marking thu end of the third quarter held off a few seconds, Ashland would have un doubtedly have scored. Tho team was working as a unit. Medford's men were trained right down to the minute and showed tlia effects of most conscientious work. Corum and Gentry starred for tlia winners, hitting the line with bullet like speed. Medford's first score came with a drop kick from the twenty-yard line In the first quarter after an ex change of punts had netted them n good gain. Ashland got to the fif teen! yard line In the second quarter1 but failed to make two yards on thd fot-rth down and lost the ball. Ash- land was again dangerous when n J Medford fumble, the only one of the day, was recovered by an Ashlander. but a forward pass was intercepted with disastrous results. Medford came within a few feet of scoring at tills time, hut a stone wall defense stopped them. The Medford touch down came In the Inst quarter nnd with but three and a half minutes left to play. Young ran a punt well back and a forward pass, line plunges and shift plays carried the ball over. Brandon converted goal. The locals came back with another flash of form in the last two minutes and carried the bnll forty yards with a beautiful series of end runs, pnsses and line bucks, hut It cnmetoo late. Cunningham played the star game for Ashland nnd was closely seconded If not equalled by Lowe. The tack ling of these two was terrific and time after time prevented long gains, llarrell played a consistent game and Jones was a whirlwind III the line, playing the best ball he has exhibited this season. Furry was laid out with a cracked rib and collarbone In tha first quarter, leaving a big hole In his side of tho line, which contributed a great deal to Ashland's defeat. Post mprtems are hardly in order, but one or two "ifs" must be in dulged In. If Ashland had played up to the form displayed In brief flashes victory would have hovered over Ash land steeples Thursday. If the Med ford safety had not picked up an onslde kick, calmly and apparently not knowing that llarrell, who was three feet away, was onslde, llarrell would have picked It up and scored. If Buck had turned to the outside In stead of the inside on a forward pass after he had passed the entire Med ford defense, including the safety who was coached to come up on pass es, he would probably have held it and scored. If but what's the use? Walt until next year. Ashland supported her team roy ally, several hundred going down to the game. The students had hired the ebony colored, red-coated min strel band which was in town, and the way those coons put the pep Into "Loyalty Song" was a caution. Med ford had a big band, but the eight coons held their own. It was a good Investment. Suits for Christmas, tailored to your measure.
