. Ride and Banquet
Tnj3 hag t)een Boy Scout week all
over the country, and ln Ashland In
particular practically everything has
made way for the boys. This Is one
occasion at least when the old adage
about children being seen and not
heard has been honored ln tby breach
The boys In Ashland have been seen
and heard, and have been encour
aged by their elders who for a time
have been boys with them.
Starting Tuesday afternoon the
Boy Scouts were treated to a dandy
automobile ride over the country by
so mp of the generous hearted citizens
whose Interests In tWe boys will never
wane. The cars belonging to O. F.
Carson, E. V. Carter. Jk W. Hoyt, C.
B. Lamkln, R. P. Nell and T. A.
Schall were filled with memU;rs of
the two troops of Boy Scouts, and at
3 o'clock started out on a 40 mile
Joyrfcle over the county, touching at
Jacksonville, Gold Hill, Central
Point, Medford and on home again.
This was a nevter-to-be-forgotten out
ing that was hugely enjoyed by, the
young boys and the older boys who
accompanied them '
' The Scouts returned in time to par
take of the sumptuous banquet which
-was tendered them by the citizens of
Ashland In the Hotel Austin. Fifty
guests sat down at the tables at 6
o'clock with appetites whetted by
the long ride in the open, and 'after
the first keen edge 'was taken, off.
Rev. C. F. Koehler served as'toast-
master and presented a number of
speakers who gave short interesting
talks. The first of these was Rev.
C. A. Edwards, who spoke on th?
topic, "The True-blue Scout," He
was followed by "What a Scoutmas
ter Expects from a Scout," by Scout
master King. Edwin Mowat, assist
ant scoutmaster, gave an Inspiring
talk to th1? young people on "What
Scouting is Doing for Me," and May
or Lnmkln closed the addresses with
a talk on "What Scouts Can Do for
the City of Ashland." A short busi
ness session followed, and a troop of
tired but happy boys adjourned to
their welcome awaiting beds.
Wednesday's activities consisted
of an exhibit by Troop 1 on the Plaza
at 4 o'clock, followed 1 v a mass
meeting? ln the Clmutauqua audito
rium at which several prominent
speakers delivered addressos to the
boys. Thursday the meni'ie-s of th?
two troops left for. a three days'
camp on the Applegate.

Wednesday evening, June 18, is good
thruout Ashland and the surround
ing country. Sales, are being made
ln Medford, Rogue River, Jackson
ville, Grants Pass, Central Point and
all the Intervening country, and In
dications point to a successful termi
