Word was received in Ashland yiesterday morning of the death of Mrs. Fannie Blalock, formerly .. of this city, which had occurred at Madera, Cal. The message was sent here by a sister of Mrs. Blalock, Mrs. Hoslen, with whom she had been llvlns for a few weeks, having gone to that city for tha bene fit of her health. The change had proven unavailing, however, and her many friends in this community were grieved to learn that she had failed rapidly un til death resulted Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Blalock was a well known and popular ' woman of Ashland where she had lived for many years. About three years ago she and her husband, Walter Blalock, moved to Dunsmulr where the latter was In the employ of tho Southern Pacific, A year ago Mr. Blalock was killed on the railroad, and ever since that tragical (event Mrs. Blalock's health has been declining, She spent the past year In Ashland until a short time ago, when she went to Port land for treatment. Finding that her condition was gradually getting worse, Mrs. Hosier took her to h home three weeks ago. While her condition was known by her friends In Ashland to be serious,' her death was unexpected by many at this time and the news came as a great shock.

MAX BIKXKD TRYING TO SAVE HIS MONEY While attempting Co save his mon ey and liberty bonds amounting to $800 from his burning cabin, W. L. Blgham, a former well known Jack son county man, was badly burned last week, at his stock ranch on the Umnqua riter In pouglas coirnty. Mr. Blgham has been absent from the ranch and on returning discov ered the fire. He rushed into tho burning building in an attempt to save his money and bonds, but the fire was so fierce that he barely es caped with bis life. While being badly burned about the face and hands, Mr. Blgham Is suffering from no permanent injury. Pacific & Eastern Hay Again Operate Contingent upon their ability to make financial arrangements and upon the decision of the Portland district freight trafflo committee of the United States railroad adminis tration to grant an attractive rate on lumber for outward shipment, the Pacific & Eastern railway will re sume operations, according to reports from Portland. This road, running 33 miles out of Medford to Butte .Falls, went Into receivership early this year because of Us Inability to earn enough to pay operating charg es, and its renewal of train service will be a source of Joy to lumber producers of Southern Oregon now without means of transporting their product to outside markets. Last leek a delegation of Jackson County business men and lumber pro ducers headed by E. W. Messereau, had a preliminary conference with the Portland district freight traffic committee with a view to obtaining extension of the Coast group rate on lumber from Butte Falls to any point reached by the Southern Pacific and connecting lines. Another conference will be held the coming week and in the meantfme the Southern Oregon men will learn Just what they may be able to do in the direction of ar ranging for resumption of operation of the railway. i Without extension of the Coast group rate to Butte Falls, the rail way is or would be handicapped by a differential of 6U cents a pound freight compared with- competing points situated on branches and feed ers of the Southern Pacific. This amounts to $2 a thousand feet ' on lumber, and It is possible to have it absorbed by the long haul charge, as Is commonly done in like cases. If plans to resume "operations of the Pacific & Eastern line carry, the immediate sacrifice sale and scrap ping of the road will be averted. Shorthorn Cattle Sale Was Success The upper end of the valley was well represented at the auction sale of shorthorn cattle held at Medford Saturday afternoon, when many farmers and stockmen were interest ed spectators and bidders at the first sale of registered cattle conducted in this valley.

The eaitflre consignment of 26 head of cattle brought the total sum of $7,415, the seven bulls averaging $387.43 each, while the 19 cows av eraged $247.89. The highest price paid for any one animal was $850 paid by E. E. Beeson of Talent for the bull Sllverdale. O.D. Lowe was the only representative from this sec tion who secured ffne of the register ed Btock, when he bought the bull Comet. Colonel A. L. Stevenson of Cor- vallis was the auctioneer and Prof. E. L. Potter, head of animal indus try of the Agricultural College and secretary of the Northwest Shorthorn Association, assisted at the sale.

Want War Record of Ashland Soldiers An effort is being made - In the public library to preserve the records of all men from Ashland who have served In the world war In any branch of the service. The librarians have started a loose-leaf . portfolio with the war record and photograph of each soldier, or sailor. Up to tho present, however, only a few have responded to this request for pic tures and history, and out of the hundreds of Ashland men who have Been service, less than fifty have sent In their record. . The public and especially Hiobo who have had members of the fam ily In the war are urged to call at the library in inspect the soldier and sailor history, with the hope that It will arouse more Interest In the pro ject. While the war is fresh in the minds of all, few realize the im portance of keeping a record of the service of those who participated, but for the coming generations this will be of inestimable value and in terest, and should he carried on. .
