As
"Passed Around the
; Bend in the Road"
Tbe death of Rev. Harmon Jesse
Van Fossen, district superintendent
of tbe Klamath district, which oc
curred suddenly at bis borne n
North Main street Friday evening,
August 22, 1919,' came as a great
shock to the community and district
as well as to tbe Oregon conference.
On Sunday, August 17, he was pres
ent at Ashland at the mornlag ser
vice, and In tbe evening at Medford
with Bishop Matt S. Hughes, who
was visiting the Klamath district.
Monday they went to Grants Pass
and Tuesday on to Roseburg, Dr.
Van Fossen returning home Tuesday
night. Thursday night he took III
end necessitated the services of two
physicians, but Friday be was able
to sit up and rested well during the
day. In tbe evening at 8:20 be went
Into another room and while there
fell to the floor, death being Instan
taneous. During the afternoon he
said: "I think I will get better
from this, but if not, all Is well be
tween me and God."
Tbe funeral was held on Monday
afternoon from tbe Ashland Meth
odist Episcopal church, Rev. Charles
A. Edwards, the pastor, in charge.
Bishop Matt S. Hughes came down
and delivered tbe address. Minis
ters of the district were upon the
platform and took part in the or
t Rev. H. i. Van Fosttf-a.
vice. Tbe flowers were beaatifm
and in profusion, and the service
throughout was a fine tribute to one
who bad spent his life in the service
of God. Tender messages were read
by the pastor from Drs. Ford of Sa
lem, rV. W. Youngson of Portland,
G. F. Billings, who was absent, and
ethers. He leaves to mourn his loss
a wife and two daughters, with other
relatives in various parts of tbe
country.
Rev. H. J. Van Fossen came to
Ashland in November, 1906, and was
the pastor and leader of its Metho
dist Episcopal church for five years.
During that time he was the fore
most spirit In the remodeling of the
church building, which when com.
pleted at a cost of eleven thonsand
dollars, all of which had been paid
r subscribed at the time of its ded
ication. The completed church has
been pronounced by competent
judges, one of the most "workable"
ones In the state, special provision
having been made for Its adaptibll
Ity to Sunday School work.
The menibel-ship and church at
tendance steadily Increased under
his ministry. He was a remarkable
preacher, doubtless the peer of any
denomination on the coast in preach
ing on the principal characters de
scribed in the Old Testament.
His work as district superintend
ent was thoughtful, .helpful, sensible,
In short Christ-like, and many a
preacher and many a father and
mother with their children will miss
the welcome visits to their homes by
this servant of the Most High. Peo
ple of all denominations, and people
who have as yet no definite belief
In Christianity are saying: Well
done, good and faithful servant, en
ter thou into all tbe joys, which the
Blessed conceived for His own." ,

Sugar Embargo in
Local Groceries
Ashland groceries have been no
tified tbls week that a sugar short
age Is threatened on the coast, and
Tuesday they were ordered to onlypteside the usual display of pictures
sell 1 worth at a time. This news I sent In all over the state by profes
came expectedly to the coast retail-jslonals and amateurs which promises
ers tbls week when it was learned
(hat the only two sugar refineries
on the Pacific coast had nsed up all
the raw sugar allotted to them by
the government, It is claimed, and
consequently tbey had withdrawn
from the market until January 14
when their new allotment would be
come available. According to re
ports the government has diverted
200,000 one hundred pound bags of
beet sugar from the Pacific coast
supply to help meet the shortage In
the east and middle west. According
to well ipformed men In the Jrado
the price will not raise, as they claim
that to take advantage of the short
age and raise the price would be
profiteering pure and simple, and
would be risky business.

be hold in tbe city park at Medford

Bureau is expected to attend ami
use his influence towards getting all
his neighbors out to this event. All
the fruit growers and farmers of

County Livestock association co
operating with the Farm Bureau will
hold its second public auction sale

lotter day" for Jackson county.
