(By H. G. Gilmore.) It has positively been a humiliate lug position for Ashland, with a pop ulation close upon 6,000 poople, to have existed lo! these many years without so much as a single genu ine pipe organ In Its midst when, with the same number of people liv ing in a community east or middle west perhaps as many as four would be found doing yeoman service in the offices of the praise, prayer ana thankseiviner in the churches, and contributing in no small degree to the edification and uplift of the peo pie in convention assembled, whether it be of a religious or secular nature. No better niece of good fortune could fall to the lot of our forthcom ing brand new Chautauqua than to possess an organ the klug of all In struments to furnish backbone ana musical stamina, so to speak, to the arious gatherings arranged for dur ing the 365 days of the year. It is, Ashland High School Notes 93 a nmttnr of fact a rase of now or i CffTlm 1 6 never, of securing a communistic VvlO ministering angel, and It Is up to 1 m I both tho city council and the Chau- J vV& taun.ua trustees to see that the un- f nnrlnnnhla nln nf nmlnfllnn In Tint committed In dealing with so weighty ind indispensable a matter so long desired and prayod for by the com munity at large. At the Methodist church conven tion held hero some three years ago Bishop Cooke was full of enthusiasm for everything ho witnessed In Ashr land, and emphatically pronounced it to he "a city of churches," to ihlch I repllod, good naturedly, of course, that with the recollection that we even had "a church of the Brethren", and "Brethren of the church," Ashland was undeniably a city of too many churchos. All regret the situation, but there can be no remedy until such time as people recognize that denominatlon alism and churchism Is one thing and true reverent and practical religion on common-sense principles quite an other. The organ legitimately used and skillfully played is no moan accession of strength to any" community. A visit to such a church as the First Presbyterian in Seattle the largest denomination In the United States and made so through the extraordi nary efforts of the Rev. M. A. Mat thews will, after listening to a aJ:mtmnmam:mnmmn:i four manual, fully equipped organ with echo and chime attachments, producing tho most charming effects, convince one that not to purchase a pipe organ at this time, and provide a suitable place for it at tho rear of the stage, In the new Chautauqua building, would Indeed be a dire ca lamity ' unconsciously perpetrated, perhaps, by the "powers that be." A little patient waiting Is our pur post Just now, with the belief that on so vital a question the trustees of oar Chautauqua will unanimously declare themselves In favor of the "king of all Instruments." Chinese Gunmen Kept from Portland By officers acting on Information tent out from Ashland, seven Chinese tong gunmen, bound for Portland, for whom federal officers have been looking since Sunday, were foiled at Salem Thursday In an attempt to elude Portland officers. ' The seven men left the Portland Express at Salem with tho evident In tention of taking an automobile to Portland and thus avoid arrest by Tortlartd officials. Deputy United States Marshal Ryan and two assist ant federal officers had been watch ing for tho Chinese at Albany since Sunday. The officors rocelved word from Ashland of the plan of the gun men and met them. They were searched and then put aboard the train again In charge of tho federal officers. Throo Salem gunmen met their countrymen at the train and vero also searched and not allowed to leave the city. No guns were found. Inspect First Company 0. C. A.

Charlotte Chappelle, one of the most prominent members of this year's senior class and one of the school's llvest workers in student body affairs, left for the east Wed nesday evening. Charlotte was one of the three or four present seniors who have completed their entire pre paratory school training In Ashland shcools, she having started in the chart grade In the East school at the same time that Fern Murphy, Fred period. The reason Is that it has become a most popular sport of the high school students to wear high top shoes, most of which are hob nailed, during tho hoavy snow of the past few days. The halls and class rooms are also beginning to show the effect of the nailed shoes, and Is the snow continues futuro high school students can tell of the days when their ancestors wore loggers' boots end six-shooters to school.

Leslio Cunningham, for three years a star member of Ash land high football teams, captain of this last season's brilliant eleven and one of the most prominent men In school, left last Thursday with his parents, brother and sister for Los Angeles. "Les" is going to take a position with a lumber concern In Los Angeles, In the clerking depart ment, and his largo number of local friends feel confident that he will make good in his profession as he did in his school Hfo. "Les" has been a member of Ashland schools for tho past eight years and was a junior In high school. A queer coin cidence Is noticeable In the fact that "Les" was president of the student body and Charlotte Chappelle was secretary of the same organization. School Out Two Pays. The heavy snowfall of Monday night, which damaged the electric service of the city, made It impossi ble to run tho huge dynamos con nected with the school heating sys tem, so that the school bolls remained silent Tuesday.

Sevoral of the teachers took tho holiday as an advantage and vis ited tho Modford schools Tuesday. Sevoral of them expressed their feel ings as being glad that they were connected with the Ashland schools, for after seeing the Medford high school and Its equipment some of them were actually homesick for the halls of Ashland high. We are glad that someone appreciated the school, for we never heard of a student ex pressing homesickness In connection with school. Whispers. The second typewriter speed test of this semester was given Thursday evening. About ten advanced typ ists took the test, but Earl Dahuff was the only successful student to pass the forty-word-pcr-minute test. A new ruling makes tho test some what more difficult. Formerly the test consisted of writing on an arti cle for ten minutes and deducting five words for cvory mistake. The new rule says that ten words shall be deducted for every mistake after the first ten mistakes.
