CoU... stuted last Sunday that he and, his bride spent their honeymoon fifty two years ago at Dundee's mill, that w:is located Just south of the pres ent Prospect hotel, he raised the question as to how and when Pros pect was named. Jim Grieve came to the rescue by saying that twenty five years ago, when they hu'lt the first school house, the question aros,: as to what the place should be named. Mr. Aiken said. "The place has a bright prospect; let's name It Prospect." And they did. Judge Colvlg said "that reminds me of the miming of Pers'st post office. The people there were o persistent In their efforts to have i. Cords REDUCTION in Fisk . prices does not mean a lowered quality. Every Fisk Tire, large or small, is a standard Fisk Tire. Present low prices are on tires which have made the name Fisk famous for quality and mileage. There is no better tire value in the world than a Fisk Tire at the present price. Sold only by Dealers post office established that it was named Pers'st. James Grieve loruted at Prospect twelve years ago and built the hotel there. He has been adding to the place ever since.

Thirty Out of Six Thousand Teachers Get $3,000 Salary FIFTY-EIOHT HUNDRED TEACH ERS RECEIVE SALARIES LESS THAN UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, July 25.- Although there aro approxi mately OliOO public school touchers In the state of Oregon, only thirty of them receAe annual salaries of Fabrics ARMERS HAVE BIG IIC SATURDAY J 3000 or. more, according to figures brought out during this summer terra of the Cniverslty of Oregon. There are twenty-four teaching positions carrying salaries between $2500 and $3000 a year. School room jobs throughout the state with a com pensation ringing between $2000 and $11500 a year number only 240. These figures Include Portland. All the rest of the thousands ot teach ers, Including hundreds of supervis ors, superintendents and principals, receive less than $2000 a year for their services, though large numbers of them have spent four years in a university, college or normal school. Several superintendents in attend ance at the University summer term from the larger towns of the state report difficulty in completing their staffs for next year. There Is still a shortage of teachers, they say. The number of calls coming In to the ap pointment bureau of the University further confirm this report of u teacher scarcity. While fifty ler cent of those re ceiving the top-notch salaries of $11000 or more are graduutes or former students of the University of Oregon, their compensation does not equal thnt ot alumni of the Uni versity who have spent n like num ber of years In other professions.

The story $ Is set amid the wild scenes of $ "natural bridge" on Rogue river. The tale smacks of bears and "things that move under cover of the darkness." It seems that during their -? t recent camping trip. Mr. and ft Mrs. Harrison decided to camp near the Natural Bridge, and 4 a party of fellow motorists. But the motorists moved away ? and left the Harrisons very $ much alone. During the night they were aroused from sleep by various and sundry noises that came from nearby thlck- ets. In the "wee sma' hours" ? r- Mr. Harrison used a spot light & to good advantage and saw well. It might have been any- thing from a mountain lion down to a common ordinary house tubby. Nevertheless, it Is part of the story that the Harrisons broke camp and moved to Union creek, where, it is related, "they might have ? company and protection." & . ... fj- A- it- i- &- $ -j -ft- GOLD HILL., Or., July 25.. gold strike on Birch creek in the Gal lire district is reported by F.

The most serious tire in the business dis trict of Medford tor many months resulted lit the interior of the huge brick Tumy Garage company build ing on South Front street being gut ted by flames Friday night, entail ing a Iobs on new and used cars of about $23,000, and a loss on the building of about $5000. The fire was discovered about 9 o'clock and drew a great crowd of people from all sections of the city. It is thought that the origin of the fire wus due to some defect In wiring. The building is owned by Scott DuvIb, who roughly estimated his loss at $5000 with insurahce. The building cost $14,000 to erect, and It was Insured from the basement up. Some difficulty was encountered in getting the fire department by phone and before the department could be reached that way, Wuh Kim well known old Chinaman, staggered up almost breathless in front of the engine house shouting as best he could, "Fllah! Fliah!" Walt Kim had started at once for the fire de partment to give the alarm as soon he saw amok coming from Un building, but his progress was much mpeded by people who though he had gone crazy. But the Chinaman with his "Fllah! Fliah!" continued o plug on by degrees.

Roberts, and the same taken undeV advisement by Circuit Judge F. M. Calkins.

LITIIIA PARK OFFERS HAPPV PLAYGROUND TO ASHLAND KIDDIES By LOETTA A. HOMEWOOD It is interesting to note the splen did work being carried on at Lithlu Park play grounds this year, and Is Indeed gratifying to those who have given so much time and money to establish and support a place of this kind, to note the progress that Is! being made. It has grown out of, the efforts of a few progressive worn-: en who would not give up, and now! It Is here to stuy. It would be hard! to Improve upon the present system of management. The co-operation ot the different associations that bring in the summer attractions for the people, have carefully avoided the overlapping of any of the variosu works, and without question, tilts ; year has been more successful than any proceeding one. It has been necessary to make Improvements and add to the present limit ot the ground set apart for the children. It Is not unusual to see 100 chil dren, ranging in age from two to fourteen years, on the ground at one time. The general average for the afternoon Is about sixty-five. All pieces of apparatus are in constant use, and no accident of serious na ture has occurred during the hours the supervisor has been in charge of the grounds. A croquet court is being complet - ed this week, and we note that some of the boys who Indulge In this sport, have a remarkable growth ofj he claimed to be Insufficient. He whiskers on their faces.

Very soon seats will be provided for vis - itors who enjoy watching the chll - dren during their story-telling hour.j which Is a feature of every day be- twetn S and 4 o'clock. All stories are carefully selected and consist of those studied and taught In the pub lic schools. The swimming class has grown in number from fourteen to seventy two, and is too large for two teach ers to conduct at on time, and here after will be divided into two classes respectively called "Can" and "Can't." It is amazing to kuow what the average child under twelve years of age can. do after three or four les sons. The methods used In teach ing have become so popular that the teachers have been asked to conduct classes in the evening tor adults. At the close of the season the swimming pupils will give an exhi bition of their skill at a 'oral plunge WINNERS OP LITIIIA PARK TEXXIS TOIRNAMEXT HAVE SOl'THERX CHAMPION'KHII After three days of lusty racket swinging during the tennis ton run ment, known us the Lithlu Purl; Title Play, held here July 14, 15 und 16, Buckley Leeds, late ot Stan ford university, Culif., raurcked oft with laurels us the open play chain plon of Southern Oregon, according to a statement made by J. D. Bee- son, manager of the tournament. Mr. Beeson states that Ashland is the only city in Southern Oregon to have conducted an open play tennis tournament this year, and because of that fact the title winners of the recent plays have won more than local titles. The only possible con tenders, Mr. Beeson states, for tho title are members of the Medford University club, in case that organiza tion should care to put on a tourna ment. Mr. Beeson points out that if the club did cure to have a tour nament' with the object of establish Ing Southern Oregon titles, it would be necessarily have to be open to all contenders which would enable the local tournament winners to "swing a wicked racket" in compe tition. Fast, scientific games were played throughout the tournament, Mr. Bee j son says. He Is especially lauda tory in reference to the sporting ability of the players to give und take without contention, an att tude displayed to a marked degree by the younger players. Big crowds of on lookers witnessed the games, during ll0 three duya of the touruument. Much credit is given to Mr. Beesuii by local tennis enthusiasts fur the successful staging of the tourney, Mr. Beeson is u veteran at the garni .

"Community Advertising" wus the subject of a talk made to tbe Med lord Chamber oi Commerce yester day noon by Bert Muses, of this city, and well known as tbe syndlcute writer of "Sap and Salt In the Woods," a newspaper feature being sold to various papers throughout the country. "The worst thing that can happen to a community," seld Mr. Moses, "was to contract the 'village habit,' and be satisfied with things as they were when Grandpa was a boy. One result of this habit Is a flock of prominent citizens who arekso busy being prominent they caiv't do any thing else. They also develop the meddler's itch anil split up into cliques, and spread false tales about those who are endeavoring to help the community." Another affliction of the "village habit," Mr. Moses saiil, was the pas sage of innumerable ordinances that mado "life just one don't after an other." He urged community advertising as a means of advancing tho welfare of Jackson county, and stressed the undeveloped asset of scenery. He suggested that small booklets, read able and not bulky with tiresome material, be Issued, and every cltl sen develop the habit of putting one in every letter he wrote. Tho speaker complimented the Forum for Its persistency In having a weekly meeting summer and win ter. His address was received with applause. If this generation does not pro tect forests und replenish them, the next generation will have no forests. Indeed, the present generation Itself will be virtually forestless if there Is not conservation of timber.
