R' OBSERVE BIRTHDAY OP FATHER OF COUNTRY According to the ruleu-und customs of the Daughters of the American Revolution the birthday of George Washington, the Father of Our Coun try, must be annually observed In somo appropriate maimer. Mount Ashland Chapter, which was organis ed during the past year and Is yet only considered in Its Infancy, took this occasion to Introduce itself be fore the Ashland public and chose the very fitting method of so doing by holding a bauquet in the Hotel Austin last evening, the anniversary of Washington' Birthday. ' Manager A. Austin Chlsholm lent himself most enthusiastically to the observance and turned over the en tire house to the use of the Chapter for the occasion. The large dining room was entirely filled with long tables, while the walls and pillar were artistically draped with flags and bunting. The decorating com mittee was augmented by R. W. Con over, who kindly offered his services for this occuslon, and showed a mas ter skill In work of this sort. The tableB were decorated with bouquets of flowers, among which was a beau tiful bouquet of whlto carnations and asparagus fern, the gift of Madame Tracey to the regent, Mrs. Gordon MacCracken. As the assemblage filed to the ta bles, a vlctrola In the dining mom. operated by Elliott MncCrackon, play ed patriotic airs, and these Multipli ed throughout the banquet. When the company was seated Rev. Father Conaty of the Catholic church' said grace, after which tho company ot whom there were present 125 seated at the same time, enjoyed the sump tuous five-course banquet served by the hotel retinue. By a fortunate co-incidence, M. C. Reed, one-tome president of the Southern Oregon Chautauqua, und at present one of tbe most successful eutitled to Vocational training or ud Chautauqua superintendents and let- Justed compensation. All these things turers, had arrived home from a tour through the south, and as .J matter of course the program com mittee seized upon this popular man to serve as toastuiuster. Mr. Reed responded in bis happiest manner, and his quaint touches of humor did much to promote the nnod fellow ship throughout the evening. After the fish course Rev. Charles A. Edwards was called upon to give a toast to the Pilgrim Fathers. The speaker introduced Ms subject with a witty story in which ho Illustrated his adoption into this lnd establish ed by the Pilgrims In its early his tory, and told briefly tlm manner or pe0I)le and ,he principles of those , ,e.rors ,(i .
