Policeman Lowe
Killed by Train
' George M, Lowe, night policeman,
was struck by passenger train No.
15 as it pulled Into the station Sun
day night and was instantly killed.
The tragedy occurred at 12:20 and
was not witnessed by any one, altho
the body was Identified immediately
after the accident. It Is supposed
that Mr. Lowe was standing near the
main track, thinking that the train
would come up to the station on the
track nearest the building. On the
contrary the train was sent in on the
second track. As the engine passed
the point where Mr. Lowe's body was
found the engineer thought he struck
come 'substance, and called to Mr.
Moody, one of the switchmen on tho
front of the engine, that he feared
te had struck a man.
As soon as the train came to a
etop Mr. Moody hurried back, but in
live meantime Sheriff Terrill and two
deputies, who were at the station,
had walked down the track and dis
covered a man lying by the side of
the train. A further investigation
revealed the fact that it was Police
man Lowe. He was lying on his
side, having been struck In the back.
Death was instantaneous.
This terrible tragedy Is a sad blow
to the family and many friends of
Mr. Lowe. He was a popular man
among hi business associates and
was well known by a large number of
acquaintances. He Is survived by
bis wife, two daughters and three
sons. These are Mrs. Clyde Dean
of Portland; Misa Millie Lowe, who
has been employed In Portland for
the past year, but who had come to
Ashland Saturday to visit ber par
ents; J. E. Lowe of Park City, Utah;
Ralph, at Camp Lewis; and Ronald,,
at home.

Members ol the 65th Regiment
Accorded a Royal Welcome
Heralded by the blowing of the
whistles, the playing of the Ashland
band and the cheers of a vast multi
tude who had assembled at the train
to bid them' welcome the first con
tingent of Ashland overseas soldiers
reached the city Saturday forenoon
at 10:15 o'clock. Telegrams had
reached relatives from some of the
boys on the way that they would be
on train No. 15, and the glad tidings
were sent abroad by telephone,
bulletins In public places, word' of
mouth and every method devised to
notify the citizens that they would
have an opportunity of greeting Ash
land's heroes.
As was announced earlier in the
Tidings the blowing of the whistles
an hour before the train was due
would be the signal when the boys
come home, and promptly on the
minute the roundhouse and city hall
whistles proclaimed the glad tidings
while every engine la the railroad
yards joined the chorus. By the time
the train was due a large crowd had
assembled to greet once more the
lads who had gone away so bravely
on their great adventure a year ago.
As the train rounded the curve be
low the station the whistles again
took up the welcoming signal, and to
the strains of "When Johnny Cornea
Marching Home Again," by the band,
a bunch of big, husky lads disem
barked and fell into the arms of
frantlo relatives and friends. The
mothers, sisters and sweethearts who
had so bravely met their boys a
year ago and sent - them away on
their dangerous mission with a smile
on their Hps and words of cheer, re
laxed from the fearful strain under
which they had been laboring for the
past year and If tears would come,
they were tears of Joy and thanks
giving to be able once more to wel
come their brave boys home from
the perils of war. '
While only a few of the 65th vet
erans arrived at this time more fol
lowed on the various trains until by
Monday night the greater part of
those who are to come at this time
NOTED MAGAZINE WRITER
PASSED THRU ASHLAND
Thursday afternoon Harry C. Em
ery of the First National Bank, re
ceived a telegram from Captain Petei
B. Kyne, the well known magazine
writer and offlcor In the 143rd Field
Artillery of California's "Grizzly"
Division, stating ihat he was 'passing
thru Ashland on train 54 for the
north, and would like the opportun
lty ot meeting his old-time friend
and saying "Hullo." Mr. and Mrs
Emery accordingly met Captain Kyne
and spent the twenty minutes of the
train's stop here with this distln
gulshed writer and soldier.
Mr. Emery and Captain Kyne
served together In the 14th infantry
regiment in the Philippines during
the Spanish-American war, and have
ever since kept up tho friendship es
tabllshed at that time. The proml
nence the latter has gained by his
interesting writings has never put a
check on his friendships of former
years, and Mr,. Emory was pleased
to receive the assuranco that Captain
Kyne is going to pay him a visit
some time next July. His mission
this rip was to collect material some
where In the north for a story he is
contemplating writing.
Accompanying Captain Kyue was
Morcel Dupuys, the little French
boy who has been adopted by Capt
and Mrs. Kyne. The history Of this
little waif has been repeated In the
newspapers since the return of the
California "Grlzzlys," whose mascot
he was. The little lad's mother died
when he was a baby, and his father
was killed at Verdun. Homeless and
half starved the lad made his way to
the battle front and attached .him
self to the soldiers there, living on
the scraps from the mess tents and
the food given him by the men. When
the 143rd sailed for America 'little
Marcel was a stowaway on the trans
port, from where he was rescind by
Captain Kyne, who took him-lrome
and adopted him. i .
The little French boy seem to
take kindly to America and is thriv
ing under the kind care and Atten
tion bestowed upon him.

pects to spend some time with an old-
time friend,
were In Ashland, In time to be the
honor guests ot the gigantic recep
tion planned for them Monday night.
For this event the Elks generously
opened the doors of their club rooms,
and an Invitation to the public was
given. The response to this was
greut, but the management was ready
for them and amusement was pro
vided for all. An orchestra dispens
ed music for those who wished to
dance. Card tables were arranged
for any who wanted to pass a soclui
hour with this diversion and a large
assemblage visited with one another,
and greeted the war veterans with
the glad hand of welcome. The Ash-
land band also rendered some delight
ful selections.
Short addresses were made by Hon.
K. V. Carter and Rev. W. L. Mel
linger in which tbey welcomed the
members of the 65th home again In
the name of Ashland and her citi
zens. Mrs. H. T. Elmore and Mr. and
Mrs. D, D. Norrls sang several fine
selections. A cafeteria luncheon was
served in the dining room, presided
over by the canteen managers. Tho
refection was furnished by the citi
zens of the city, who wished to con
tribute their bit to the pleasure and
entertainment of the boys who had
offered their lives for their country.
A host of cakes were contributed by
the housewives of the city; D. Peroz

House grocery the coffee; Enders &
Sons the sugar; E. N. Norton and
Mrs. A. C. Joy the cream, while the
Elks were prodigal with cigars, cig
arettes and other luxuries which
wera lavishly bestowed upon the boys
In kbtkl.
Th guests of honor were the popu
lar heroes of the hour, and altho
they took their honors modestly, the
Joy of being once more with their
loved ones at home away from tho
horrors of the past year could be
seen In the shining eyes and happy
faces as the friends and neighbors
gathered around them with greetings
and felicitations for their safe re
turn.

ASHLAND WINS AGAIN f .
FROM ROSEBURG TEAM
The Roseburg basketball team
came to Ashland last Thursday with
high spirits and a lofty reputation.
After mixing with the red and white
delegation for a couple of games
their spirits shrunk and their repu
tation underwent a sudden change
for the worse.
The first game was played Thurs
day night at the high school gym.
The Ashland team was determined to
get Roseburg's goat this year and
played a dashing game from start to
finish, sweeping the northern team
off the map by a score of 37 to 11.
"Deke" Bryant, Ashland's crack
forward, was responsible for 23 of
the local score, while "Jazz" McMil
lan succeeded In sending the hall for
six trips thru the basket. Fraser and
Burnett played a smashing defensive
game, the former finally getting
yanked out for mussing up a Rose
burg pompodour. "V" Young sub
stituted for Fraser.
The second game was patterend
after "Waterloo" with Roseburg the
losers. The score was 59 to 13 and
the Ashland rooters feel that this
is a pretty swell come-back for the
trimmings that the yellow and black
have handed them In the past. Bry
ant, Clary and McMillan each scored
enough to beat Roseburg single
handed and "Bunny" Burnett and
Fraser held the visitors down In
great style. Toward the end of the
game Young substituted for Fraser
and Long for McMillan.
"Wappo" Long proved that a bas
ketball game was not a pink tea
when he accldently collided with an
unfortunate opponent. The Roseburg
man was game, however,, and after
wiping the blood from the promi
nent part of his face, resumed the
game. .No other casualties reported
You have got to hand it to Coach
King as being some architect when It
comes to building teams. In the
r-ast two years he has develop a team
that will stand comparison with any
basketball quintet that has ever worn
the red and white. Next Tuesday the
local team leaves to invade the North
We all wish them the best of luck.
The Thursday nlEht preliminary
between the Roseburg girls and the
Ashland girls was one of the fastest
girls' games of the season and was
finally won by the yellow and black
with a score of 18 to 15. The pre
llmlnary for Saturday night's gam
was lietween the Talent five and tho
Ashland second team, which was won
by the former, 22 to 18. Lee Heer
starred for the Ashland second.
The Ashland basketball team will
go to Roseburg today where they will
play with the team from tho high
school of that city tonight and tomor
row, Tuesday and Wednesday.
EDUCATIONAL TESTS TO
BE GIVEN IN SCHOOLS
The Jackson County High School
Teachers Association held a meeting
at the senior high school building In
Ashland February ' 22 whore plans
were outlined for giving education
al efficiency tests. The tests to bo
given In the schools of this county
include tha subjects of reading
writing, arithmetic, algebra, lan
guage, and spelling.
Prof. C. A. Gregory of the Bureau
of Educational Research, University
of Oregon, gave those present a very
interesting and instructive talk on
the value and necessity of such tests,
and explained the part tho Unlver
slty of Oregon was able to take in
making the work effective and a sue
cess. The school men present agreed
upon a definite date to offer the
tests in the various towns of the val
ley, so there might be no question ro
gardlng the uniformity which Is an
essential thing If the tests are to be
of value as a means of comparison.
Material has been secured for giving
the tests and Prof. Gregory will as
slst Supt.. Ager in giving some of
the tests during the present weekk
The University of Oregon will pub
lish the results of these tests In bul
letin form along with those given
by other counties of the. state, and
with statistics showing what other
schools In many states have accom
plished with the same standard tests.
The plan will enable our school men
to determine where many weak spots
are and just what to concentrate up
on In the future. The standard tests
furnish one of the best measuring
sticks or tools of research to enable
one to tell Just what a system is do
ner. Much good will result from the
tests which will be glvipn In every
school of the county.
