Ashland Citizens Take v Joy Mdes In The Air Ashland residents enjoyed the pleasures of flying thru tire air Fri day and Saturday when the plane belonging to the M'?dford Aircraft company spent the two days In mak ing passenger flights from the lo cal landing field across Bear creek. That is, some of the Inhabitants enjoyed flights,' while others looked on with envy or apprehension, ac cording to their temperament Fly Is a trifle too new an accomplish ment to the majority of Ashland ptople, and while they enjoyed watching the graceful maneuvers of the Hg ship of the air as It skimmed thru the blue ether, a great manv felt with Darius Green that flying was all right, but that thsre might not be so much fun when they came to light. However, no accidents of any sort marred the pleasures of the new attraction, and the consensus of of opinion among those who made . ' The trial flight Is that airplane trav- el Is the most delightful way ever experienced. , The plane arrived in Ashland Frl , . day morning on schedule time, hav 1 Ing come from Crants Pass where 11 had been making passenger flights for two days previously. The run . was made, according to reports, from Grants Pass to Ashland in 23 min utes. A number of people were on the field when the plane arrived, anxious to make the flight,, and th? aircraft was kept biiBy all forenoon taking up the passengers on their aerial Journey. The plane circled over the city and made short ex curslons up and down the valley, thus affording the passengers ' a ' most delightful view of Ashland, and the Immediate vicinity. Flights wen alco made at various times Friday afternoon and all day Saturday.

This super-production will be shown at the Vlnlng next Wed nesday and Thursday, August 6th and 7th. . .Berlin Dentist Back To Own Land " Some of "Ashland's citizens have .been entertaining the fore 'part' of this week a relative and 'old-time frtend In the person of Da George Martin, son of the late "Jerry" Mar tin, one of the pioneers of Jackson county. Dr. Martin has been a resi dent dentist of Berlin, Gerni'any; fr ' the past fifteen years, and Was held up in that country practically thru ont the war. At the cloee of hos tilities he was allowed to' miirn to his native country and has "been ir the United States since' January T. In relating some of his experienc es in Germany during the world War Dr. Martin stated that he always had enough to eat, as he was fortunate in having a number of patients' from the country who would smuggle in provisions to pay their dental bills, hut that prices were most ,'ex'orbi taut. Ag soon as affairs are' somewhat 'settled in Germany Dr. '"Martin ex fpects to go back and see lr he can i secure his property there. "' If 'he' sue Jceeds in that he will return, as h 'thinks United States Is a big enough country in which' te live.' He-" has been In Oakland since returning to this country, and has been. looking over the coast country, ;but 'thinks the Rogue River valley is about the best place for a location he can find: I,. Mrs. O. R. D. Jones has gone to San Francisco to spend ' couple of days In that city. .'' '. eral days. ; -' " "i: ' One of the Interesting features of the airplane flights here wait the fact that the pilot was a former Ash land boy. This was Delbert Jones, who had come to Medford a few days before as relief pilot and who Is an experienced aviator. Mrv Jones tool; a great deal of pleasure In piloting the residents over his natlvs city. Among the Ashland people who made flights during the two days were; V. 0. N. Smith, Miss Harriet TraskMlke JIorKan. Mrs. J. P. Wolf Miss Edith Herrln. Chester Phillips, F. W Herrln, Claude Saun ders, James Boyd, Robert Herrln, J. H. McGee, and several others whoso names could not be learned. One of the most enthusiastic devo tees to alrplan'a travel In this city Is James Boyd, 77 years of age. Mr. Boyd has always evinced a great In terest in aerial travel, and is an in ventor of note. Many years ago he began drawing designs of flying ma chines, In the hope that some day this method of travel would become of use to the public. When airplanes finally became an established fact Mr. Boyd had been 'anxious to ride In one, and always stated that., he would do so when the opportunity came his waft This chance came at last and the aged man was on the field ready to make the flight. When be landed after taking, hi trip around the valley and over Ash land his first expression was, "Well. I am perfectly happy. I have had my desires grattlfied at last." He experienced no bad et.'ects from his trip Into the air and claims that flying is exactly the sensation he had expected. The only feature to pujile him is how such a small af fair as the propeller can do so much work. . . Noted Actress Can Speak Good English On hearing now tha perfect Eng lish spoken by Mme. Alia Kazlmova, the sensational Jtussisn actress now appearing in the Red Lantern, which will be shown at the Vinlng Theatre Wednesday and Thursday, one would not believe that this star had when she came to America but three words of the language she now speaks so easlly She accomplished one of the most remarkable linguistic feats ever re corded. She had attracted the no tice of managers and critics by her histrionic power, when playing in New Tork with a Russian company. But she knew no English. Contracts were offered her if she would learn English. - This she did in five months. - ' . A Critic said at the timet ."She employed a teachter who talked English to her five hours a day. In six weeks she had learned to think in English. After- that progress was rapid.- j Within five months she faced a critical New York audience she didn't even have a chance to play outjof town first and In English; She has an accent, it Is rue, a very delightful accent, but she pronounces with ,8UCn clear ness, such perfect enunciation that It Is not the slightest effort to fol low hen. Indeed, It is easier to un derstand what she says on the stage than It Is three-fourths of our native born actresses. , Recruiting Party After Enlistments ,"An army recruiting party consist ing pf Lieutenant J D.

' ' : Deer Season Will Open September! .'i Four weeks from last Monday, tho deer season will open, both In dis trict 1 and district 2, into which the state Is divided by the State Fish and Game commission. The only exception to this rule Is in district '2, where In. Union and Wallowa counties the season opens September 10 and closes Noverabor 10. This gives hunters in these counties the same length of open sea son as In the rest of the state, where the season closes October 31. Outlook for a good ceason is mOHt promising. This Is due mainly to two reasons. . First, tho last three winters huve been exceptionally mild which have permitted th-3 deer to feed on higher levels, and few have perished from excessive cold weath er, s Perhaps a more Important reason Is that the United States govern ment has had 20 professional hunt ers In the state, who have been spending their time In killing preda tory animals which are natural ene mies of the deer, and have killed thousands of them during the last few years.. Reports from all the districts where deer are to be found are op timistic A good many local hunt ers are aware of this fact, and are al ready planning trips. The limit on deer with horns Is two in ir.y one season. Female deer and does, or young deer of the firs: year, or. any portion thereof, are protected at' all times. DO IT FOR Ashland must furnish twenty-live cars to assist In taking the Xational Editorial Association party to Crater Lake.

Any one of tha several hundred fans who Journeyed out to the High school grounds last Sunday after noon will tell you so. The score it- north showing his wares to Mister McCredle of the Portland Coast Leaguers, didn't quite have enough of the ball however. He had plenty for most of the boys but when Lilly wg over ASWana weni glllUUiei 1U. Outside of that one little mistake ho did very well, however, holding Ash land to six scattered hits and strik ing out ten men. Chief Wilson, frh from llronzlne lairor In the harvest fields, was In top form and scattered tho seven hits gleaned oft his delivery oVsr six Innings. He also struck out ten men, most of them in the pinches when strike outs were needed. . Next to the pitching thq Ashland Infield work was tho feature of s game full of features Ruddy Scholts and Kenneth Lilly speeded around the keystone bag like a couple of world's champions. Three times Grants Pass seemed, to have started a rally only to have a lightning-like double play by the two California college boys nip their aspirations In th's bud. Three double plays In a Soutthern Oregon game is about two more than ordinarily occur and gives an Idea of the strength and speed of the infield the locals have built up. Ted Hill of Medford Is a tower of strength behind the bat for the lo cals and Injects a world of pep Into the team. His accurate practice throws down to second where Scholtz would sit on the bag to re celve them, completely buffaloed the Passltes and nary a man tried to steal. Wilson comes In for much of that credit, however; he kept them hugging first like a boy sticking to a bob-sled.. Fruit Crop to be . a Record Breaker In a recent ' Bumming up of tha crop outlook of the Rogue River val ley County Agricultural Agent Catc says: "The fruit crop, Including pears, apples, peaches, apricots, prunes will break the record, being far in ex cess of 1913, which was the banner year heretofore. The pears,' espec ially, are the best In quality and size for years. r- "The present outlook Is that be tween 700 and 800 carloads of pears will be shipped from the valley, and from 500 to 600 carloads of apples The bean crop In the Rogue River and Wlmer sections looks fine and the outlook for a fine and heavy crop of tomatoes Is good. The fall grain Is the best In years, but the spring grain Is only fair," Aged T.Ian Died of Chronic Gastritis George W. Vanderpool, an aged man who made his home with Ben ton Bowers, to whom he was distant ly related, died at. the latter'a home last Friday after an extended illness due to chronlo gastritis. The, de ceased was 79 years of age. Funer al services were hold from the Dodge undertaking parlors Saturday and the burial was made In Mountain View cemetery. ass Sunday Lilly and his speckled bat did tho main end of tho hitting buslnes. First man up In the second innliur h'j disturbed tho peaco of the cow as heretofore mentioned. Then again In the eighth ho hit ono over tho 1',-rt field wall but to the left of tho pole which distinguishes two bag gers from homo runs on account ot the short field. In the fifth wltlt two men on Frye wisely gave tlu ABhland slugger a walk, Wilson started off by striking out the first three men up. Ted Hill go:, a hit but was thrown out at second. Pernoll, who got two of the Pus:u hits, got a bingle In the second in ning hut was caught in a fast doubl play. Lilly got his homer In th third, Wilson got on by an error ami was scorod by hits from Vance and Gearhart. Th rest of the ganus was mostly one, two, three but th healthy aggregation ot visiting team rootors did not lose heart., In th.! last half of the ninth, if anyone haf their money on Ashland, they must have felt faint. Pernoll got a tilt., advanced on a fielder's choice ami went to third on Berless' hit Berl ess went to second and It began t look bad. Rlggs knocked a scream ing gravel scorcher down the third" base, line which luckily went foul by about a foot. Had It gone fair thft game might have bean going on yet.. Wilson came thru as usual, however. and struck out Rlggs, ending tbA- gam 1. ' This Rlggs, by the way, Is wortIV going miles to watch. His right arm is missing but he plays better ball than any two armed man Grants Pass;. has got. He electrified the crowa in.' the fifth when he speeded Into short left field and nabbed a liner, flipped"' the ball into tho air, stuck his giuvc- under the stump of his gone armi and had the ball In home so quickly Veale couldn't get started from third. He hits 'em hard, also. The crowd was the, largest ot thw season, about thirty-five automobiles and a stand full of people. speaking well for jt.Ho gradually awakening interest in goou oaseiuui piuyeu uj. -clean young fellows. Tho management announced .that ." a portion of the stand would posi tively be covered by next' game, ma terial having failed to arrive In time to keep off the sun's rays Sunday. But then It was cool, "anyway,, amfc there was too much going oa to pay, any attention to the sun. The management Is telegraphing to Weed and Yreka and will hart one of those fast nortborn Califor nia teams over hlere next Sunday. If you like good sport come out. Thu boys need the support. Bursting Olive Can , Prevented a Fire If It hadn't been for an olive cair becoming so heated that It burst and the pickle put out the fire tho Plata grocery would probably have gone uu In smoke last night. As it was very- little damage was done. The fire re sulted from an over-heated eloctrle , Iron which Mrs. C. E Bams had been: ( using n the evening ana naa ior gotten to pull out the plug. .. At about 6 o clock this mominjt , the men In the fire station were awakened by an alarm, which stated that a volume of smoke was coming: from the Plaza grocery building. Tho men went over and forced the front door, but could find no fire within the building. An Investigation - of the back room, howevor, revealed tli fact that the curront had been leeft. on in an electric Iron, which had so heated the board that it was badly; charred, and an olive can staudlng near had burst with the heat. Tho explosion of the, can had blown ttu iron from the board and disconnect ed the wire, so that the Iron hatf cooled off by tho time the depart ment arrived. , . . . . . . ..- ; , ''.WEATHER .FORECAST v .
