famous health resorts of Europe.
“The people of Ashland, at a
cost of 3176,000, have piped
llthla and other mineral waters
info a natural park of unusual
beauty within the city limits and

ments, establishing Ashland as a

Proc” Klum’s Hawaiian
Teams Yet to Taste De­
feat After Three Years
•' That Otte (Free) Klum, for­
mer coach of the Ashland High
school athletic teams la making
a auccesa of bis work in the same
line at the University of Hawaii
is evidence by a clipping received
by J. D. Mara recently, telling of
the welcome received by the Haw­
aiian footballers upon their re­
turn to the
Islands, following
their defeat of the Occidental
griddera last month.
Klum baa been coaching at the
University of Hawaii for several
years, and has enjoyed wonderful
success, his teams taking every­
thing they have met during the
past three years. In fact, during
that time, they have never been
scored on by a touchdown, the
only points registered against
them being field goals.
Since the Deans returned to the
Islands, they trimmed the Col­
orado eleven, 41-0.
The clipping from the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin follows:
“Leis! Cheers! Music! Kisses!
From 2000 wild eyed football
fans!
That’s how the University of
Hawaii and the football fans of
Honolulu welcomed home today
“The Fighting Deans," fresh from
their victory over the Occidental
Tigers, as the steamer President
Wilson entered the harbor and
docked at Pier 7.
“It was the greatest demonstra­
tion of welcome seen on the
waterfront in many years and
fully 2000 people, hundrejjg—
them cheering studeirts^'oi the
University of Hawaii, were lined
up on the upper floor of the ewa
side of Pier 7, and cheered as the
victorious players trooped down
the-gangplank Into the arms of
their proud parents, sweethearts,
friends and admirers.

PORTLAND, Dec. 24.-A-(8pec-
lal) — The Yule log will burn
brightly on the hearthstones of
Oregon, but nowhere will the
Christmas, tide bring more real
and contentment than in thé-

The Land Settlement Depart­

Commerce reports 67 new settlers

The majority of the new set­
tlers of Clackamas county have
gone Into the’ponltry business and
are making good. Seven families
have located in the Canby dis­
trict alone during the past six
months and each one Is a remark­
able example of what can he ac­

ingly remarked A. L. Dean, presi­

who returned with the players.
‘Well, just ask us.
That’s all.
There's no place like home, you
know.'
“Cries of “Red” and "Oh, you
Deans,” greeted the players, lined
up on the steamer’s rail, aa the
