July 3, 4 and 5.
"Tho members of the Ashland del
egation wer9 attired In 'buckaroo'
costumes and attracted no little at
tention upon their arrival here. This
afternoon thoy appeared on the busi
ness streets of the city, where they
rendered several songs relating to
the approaching roundup. The ren
ditions of Tracy Layne, who Is
known as one of tho foremost com
posers and vocalists in Oregon, were
especially plcaolng and . were ap
plauded Hbcfally. Thousands of
handbills were distributed here an
nouncing the many features connect
ed with the big event.
"The Ashland men will leave here
lete this afternoon for Portland.
They will stop at Eugene. Cottage
Grove, Albany, Salem and other Ore
gon towns. With the exception of
Mr. Chisholm, all of the members of
the delegation visited hero during the
Strawberry Carnival.
Locals Join With
Medford Songsters
The Ashland Choral Society will
join with the Medford Choral Society
, In giving a joint concert program at
th Pa.ce Theatre in Medford on Fri
day evening. June 15. Both of the
choral- societies have been rehearsing
the same music and will meet togth
er tomorrow evening for a general re
hearsal, including the choral orches
tra of lfi pieces. Both societies haxe
practiced diligently all through the
winter and they promise to render
one of the most finished programs
ever attempted by local organizations.
Arrangements have been made for
the two societies to appear in a Joint
program at the formal opening of the
new Chautauqua building. The two
societies gave the initinl program of
last year's Chautauqua session, which
will be remembered as one of the best
of the season's offerings.
I Co. May Camp in
Park July 3, 4, 5
A request had been made by the
celebration committee to have Com
pany I, now stationed at Medford,
encamped in Litliia park during the
three days of the celebration, and a
request for same is now in the hands
of the federal authorities. Should
these men who are now in the regu
lar service of Uncle Sam be permitted
to come here, they will march from
Medford with their light equipment
and set up their tents In the park, in
regular army stylo. This encamp
ment will be a feature of our cele
bration that a good many have n,ever
witnessed and will add to the spirit
of the occasion. The stay in Ashland
will be so short that no attempt will
he made to bring heavy equipment
or supplies and the men will probably
do their cooking and eating at the
armory.
School Election
Monday, June 18
School District No. 5, which In
cludes the Ashland municipality, will

the Liberty Bond subscription Is
to be fulfilled. Thirty thousand
dollars is yet to be subscribed

Let all who have not yet sub
scribed rally to the cause and
see that tho full amount Is pur
chased and that In addition a

building has been let to IT. J. Hansen,
a scenic artist of St. Paul. Mr. Han
sen has a big reputation as a scenery
artist and will turn out settings
which will be a credit to the magnifi
cent building. A drop curtain and
complete stags settings, Including a
street scene, wood scene, parlor in
terior scene, etc., will be constructed.
Contrary to earlier expectations, It
has been decided to have the scenery
all done Immediately and the fully
equipped stage will probably be
ready for th9 July Chautauqua as
sembly.! The scenery will be built
on a scale equal to that In the largest
city theatres. The stage Is 60 by 30
feet in dimensions and will provide
ample room for the largest attrac

Damages of $1,786
Against Geo. Barron
Damages for $1,786 were awarded
Justin Judy In a suit for damages of
$4,000 against George Barron of
Ashland In the circuit court at Jack
sonville Friday. The case grew out
of a collision on the Pacific Highway
near Talent last summer, when Bar
ron Is alleged to have driven his au
tomobile into a buggy driven by
Judy. Judy claimed to have been
injured in tho smash. Barron struck
the buggy from behind.
Attorneys Neff and Briggs address
ed the jury for the defendant and At
torney A. E. Reames for the plaintiff.
The defense maintained no damage
had beon inflicted upon the complain
ant, that he suffered from physical
ailments before the accident occurred
and that his failure to have lights-on
his outfit and his bolng on the wrong
side of the road disqualified his
claim for damages.
Attorney Reames spent consider
able time attempting to refute the
testimony of Eenton Bowers and Ed
Staples, witnesses for the defense,
and vigorously attacked the state
ment of George Barron on the stand
that he was not exceeding the speed
limit at the time of the smash.
Unregistered Must
Do Without Pills
The young cigarette smoker will
have a hard row to hoe in Oregon,
since registration day has provided a
means of ascertaining Just, who Is 21.
The Oregon law provides that no deal
er shall sell cigarettes to minors. The
registration law provides that all who
register shall carry the small green
card which proves that fact. There
fore all the dealer has to do in order
to safeguard himself Is to demand
that the young man who claims to be
21, but whose looks do not uphold the
contention, shall produce his card. If
unable to produce a card or to prove
that he Is enlisted and did not have to
register, the dealer would have to
refuse to sell cigarettes.
Elks Purchase
Allied Flags
The Elks lodge has voted to pur
chase a big new American flag and
also the flags of the English and
French to fly on the Elks temple.
The flag which at present flies on
the temple hao been hoisted on every
patriotic occasion for years and Is
tattered and torn.

Roundup Assured
Marshfield Record: L. J. Simpson,
who Is home from Portland, said to
day the proposed excursion to towns
In the southern part of Oregon, In
cluding Eugene, Roseburg, Grants
Pass, Medford and Ashland, Is all ar
ranged for with the Southern Pacific,
and th.e special train will have four
or five Pullman sleepers, a dining car
and excellent service wherever It
stops.
The fare Is set at $35, and this In
eludes everything to be had, such as
meals, tips, lodging and, In fact, noth
ing is expected from people who go,
other than the $35. This even In
cludes tickets for the grand stand at
the Ashland roundup. Mr. Simpson
has sufficient assurances from North
Bend and Marshfield to warrant the
excursion being a big success, but
more can easily be accommodated.
There are always desertions In such
affairs at the last moment, but the
manager Is planning to keep the
quota to 100 people If possible. The
train leaves here on July 2 and re
turns July 5.
Much Advertising
Of Roundup in Cal.
B. R. Greer returned Sunday even
ing from San Francisco, where he
spent a few days on business, lie
reports that tho Southern Pacific,
through General Passenger Agent
Batters at San Francisco, is putting
out 10.000 big handbills advertising
the Ashland Hyiu' Hebe and Rogue
Rlve,r Kouu.'up between S.in Fran
cisco anil Ashland. Also that .inbn
M Scott nt Portland Is cooperating
with Mr. Baiters and will practically
duplicate tho advertising between
Portland and Ashland.
Mr. Greer also reported that 0. T.
Bergner was placing the sixteen
slides of tho roundup and celebration
In the San Francisco theatreH. Mr.
r.onrner Is woll known in the city
and through bin wide acquaintance
the slides will be projected on tho
screens or several tneaires. inn
slides show scenes in Mthln pnrk, at
tho camp grounds nnd tennis-courts
and a dozen pictures "of buckers at
last year's roundup.. Tha final slide
contains an invitation to visit tho
Rogue River roundup July 3, 4 and
5 of this yenr.
Register Two
Aliens in City
But two "alien enemies," I. e
Germans who havo not been natural
ized since coming to the United
States, were registered bv Postmaster
Kaiser. Orders from tho government
appointed Postmastor Kaiser deputy
murshal for ten days and required
that all alien enemies bo required to
go through proper registration before
being allowed within one-half mile
of the Ashland armory. As this
would prevent Germans from visiting
the business section, It Is presumed
that all registered.
Cate Says Blight
Is Under Control
The blight Is under better control
this year than It was a year ago, ac
cording to County Pathologist Cate,
and with continued vigilance there
should be little loss from this source
In 1917. There has been a heavier
drop of fruit than anticipated, but not
enough to materially reduce the fruit
crop, which promises to be a record
breaker.
While on your evening stroll
through Mtbla park, if you are ac
costed by a shining creature which
looks like a spark from the kitchen
stove don't make a hnrried retreat
or visit the doctor for medicine for
the nsrves or eyesight, hut stop a
minuto and Investigate our new dis
covery, for more than likely you hava
met with one of tho now inhabitants
of Llthla patk and one which Is a
decided novelty attraction the glow
worm. Recent picnickers np tho canyon
report that they have noticed the lit
tle worms ln many places, and It Is
now oven rumored that parties are
being arranged for the aoie purpose
of visiting the sylvan haunts and to
seek the tiny bail of light in his nap
tlve haunt. Again, It Is said that if
the Insects keep on Increasing, their
heat will warm the waters of Ashland
creek to such an extent that the Ash
land citizens will have hot water for
their baths at night and cold
water for domestic purposes ln th
daytime (the glow-worm Is only no
ticeable at night). And way not cap
ture a group of the tiny creatures
and train them to do stunts which
would make a decided tourist attrac
tion for the auto camp grounds at
night? At any rate, the park com
mission will not have to worry about
their new attraction being carried
away by mischievous young America,
for they are afraid of the new arrival
because of his formidably warm ap
pearance. And why not start an In
dustry of canning the discussed sub
ject and shipping them to nearby cit
ies to adorn the electric chandeliers,
the reading tables and the electrlo
light poles?
But we must return to the news of
our article1. Several parties of pic
nickers report that they have noticed
several glow-worms In the damp
places near Ashland creek up the
canyon.
