of L. M. and W. VS. Stennett of this
city, was stricken with apoplexy
some time during Wednesday night,
from which death resulted at four
p'olock Saturday morning. During
the Intervening period he never re
gained consciousness. Mr. Stennett
had been a resident of Ashland tor
the past thirteen years where he
made his home with his son, William
on Factory street. His wife preced
ed him to the grave many years ago.
He Is survived by four children, L.
E. : and W, S. Stennett ofL Ashland;

Mpuhtaln View cemetery. , ,
Y. M. C. A. workers overseas that Is!
being extended all over the country
Ashland was visited by two work-,
ers representing the red trlangle'both
at home and abroad, who addressed
an audience In the Methodist church
Wednesday evening. -While the an
nouncement of this meeting had not
been made public for any length of
time, the news that a speaker would
be present from the trenches where
so many of our boys are now, was
sufficient to bring out a large and
Interested audience, "
Frank E. SIckels of Portland, re
cruiting secretary for the Y. M. C. A.,
stated the object of their presence In
the city, which was not to beg for
money but for men to recruit for Y.
M. C. A. work overseas. He pointed
out the fact that an armistice Is not
a declaration of peace, and intil the
treaty Is signed an American army Is
necessary to be maintained In Europe.
For the purpose of looking after the
welfare and comfort of the boys de
tained In those countries abroad 8,
000 men are wanted to enlist for ov
erseas service In the Y. M. C. A.
Accompanying Mr. Sickles on this
recruiting tour Is Rev. James Elvin,
a returned secretary from France,
who gave a most Inspiring address,
relating his personal experiences
with the boys In the trenches. Ac
cording to Mr. Elvln too much can
not be said In praise of the boys for
their courage, generosity, magnanim
ity and humor, which characteristics
have made them the greatest soldiers
In the world. Mr. Elvln enlarged on
the methods taken by the "Y" secre
taries to help the boys in time of
stress and trouble, and to teach and
Inspire them to clean, kindly living.
This, he claims, is the work the Y.
M. C. A. Is doing. In France and other
European countries, and the demand
for men able to teach and lead the
boys who will remain In the army of
occupation Is greater than ever before.
SPECIAL TAX VOTED TO
M ILD SIX MILKS OF ROAD
At the meeting at the taxpayers of
road district No. 1 held at the Belle
view school house November 30, a
proposition was carried for one mill
special tax to be expended for the
construction of a new piece of six
miles of road between Kean and Jen
ny creeks on the Ashland-Klamath
Falls road as according to the engi
neering done during the past summer
by the Oregon State Highway Com
missioner's engineers. This will
raise 17000 special taxes In addition
to the special road tax and the coun
ty court of Jackson county has agreed
to pay half from the general road
fund.
scribing to all her war work has
gained so much prominence that fre
quently Individuals are called upon
to assist 1f work along paYtlotlc
measures from a distance, and. these
calls always meet with a generous
response. This was demonstrated a
few days ago when Mrs. Julia Hocf et
was asked to procure material for
comforts for the reconstruction hos
pital that is being erected in Den
ver, Colo , where 6,000 soldiers will
be treated for Injured lungs when
they return from France, she Imme
diately set to work to gather pieces
to send back for this purpose. Hap
pening In Vaupel's store while en
gaged" in this work she mentioned
her occupation to Miss Gertrude Cox,
one of the efficient clerks there.
Miss Cox Immediately expressed her
sympathies and Interest In this work
and offered a number of pieces of
material to Mrs. Hockett which
could be utilized for this purpose.
Later she telephoned Mrs. Hockett
that she and Miss Emery would make
a comfort, and last Saturday sur
prised and gratified the former by
.presenting her with a beautifully
pieced and tied comiort ready to se,nd
to the hospital.

WELL KNOWN RED CROSS
WORKER PASSED AWAY
m Mrs. A. D. Graham, one of the
prominent residents of Ashland, dlej
at her home on North Main Btreet at
about midnight Saturday night after
an Illness extending over several
weeks. During the time of her Ill
ness a valiant fight for her life was
waged by attending physicians and
nurses, but it proved of no avail, and
her life gradually ebbed away, until
death resulted Saturday.
The death of Mrs. Graham has
caused a lasting sorrow to the lives
of the many friends who knew anJ
appreciated her excellent qualities.
During the past year her energies
had been devoted to Red Cross work,
and In this work she was occupied
until the very last when Illness ov
ertook her.
Funeral services will be held from
the late residence Wednesday after
'noon. The deceased is survived by
one son, Paul Williams, and a step
son Sergeant Arthur Graham, of
Fort Stevens.
Rev. James Elvln, the returned Y.
M. C. A. secretary who spoke In th 3
Methodist church last week on his
experiences overseas with the Ameri
can boys In the trenches, remarked
that generosity was one of the great
characteristics of the soldiers. He re
cited many instances of their kind
ness to one another, and even for the
foe, for whom, he claims, they have
no hatred. They go at the business
of klllliiK Germans about In the samel
manner as a housewife kills vermin,
and that Is the end of It. When It
comes to taking wounded prisoners
their consideration is greater!
for them than it is for their own!
Injuries. "I'm all right," he said'
they would remark to the surgeons'
and nurses. "Fix up Frltzle first and
don't you bother about me." '
Mr. Elvln said that a woman re
marked to him since his return that
she feared the boys would come back
with vicious Instincts acquired that
they could never overcome, caused
by the fact that they had been en
gaged In taking human lives. "Never
let that worry you," Mr. Elvln said
he told her. "You are not vicious
after killing files, are you? And that
Is Just the attitude of our boys In the
business of killing Germans."
McKlnley Pound, a young soldier
from South Dakota and nephew of
E. N. Norton and Mrs. J. P. Halfhill.
met his death on a battlefield in
France a short time ago, according
to tidings which reached these fami
lies last week. This young man wrote
a letter to his sister during a lull In
a battle thru which he had fought
all day, and from which he had es
caped uninjured. That night as he
slept, a German shell exploded near
hltn, killing him InHtantly. The next
morning an officer found the letter
and posted it with the uews of tlio
death of the young man. Peace was
declared before this letter reached
Its destination, and the family were
looking forward to a reunion with
the young soldier abroad, wlie" tho
letter came with Its sad message.
turning their Joy into great sorrow.

ternoon that an airplane leaving
Mather Field, Sacramento, would
would paBi over this city at about 1
o'clock, and a goodly portion of the

would be the most satisfactory aerial
mall route between Seattle and Sacramento.
