Sew lug pouliry and camp cookery are among the popular courses this year, February 15 Lloyd A. Moss en- teid on -work In the county as as ,ai?tgnt to C. C. Cate, county agent, and as club worker In connection with the county superintendent's of fice. Mr. Moss Is an 0. A. C. man, and wTIl work especially with live stock clubs and other clubs In arm projects. Local teachers' Institutes, under the name of teachers' councils, are being hold weekly. Talent, Ruch, Trail and Cpld Hill bave each beeu 6oi9i to a group of teachfers. Pa trons and friends have also been In attendance, unci at Ruch and Trail they were accompanied by such bas kets of good things to eat that the memory makes the mouth water. At tendance at Trail developed much heroism, for Bnow two feet deep at Prospect varied to mud one feet deer, at Trail. But indeed teachers were there, and In such group gatherings It is easier to speak out from the abundance of the heart. At each of the sessions held the council was duly organized and a chairman se lected, so making It a teachers' body through which all may speak and work. TUo ufficers elected follow: South eouncll Mrs. Bessie Mur ihr chairman. Applegate council Mrs. Edna B. Allen, chairman. North council Mrs. Inez Wllllts, chairman; Mrs. Winifred Stewart, secretary-treasurer. West council Miss Almeda Ful ler, chairman; Principal W. R. Put nam, secretary-treasurer. Next Saturday, February 25, the Eagle Point session Is to be held. This Includes teachers from Butte Falls to Agate and Lost creek. The county office Is emphasizing standardization of schools, club work In each community, and a lesson plan took on every teacher's desk. As this is the "national week of song," a number of schools are hav ing "community sings," and so do ing their part toward setting all America singing. The boys and girls of the county are being told of the educational and boys' and girls club building to be placed on the county fair grounds for their use next fall. There seems considerable stir in their minds as to what they and their school shall exhibit there. One hundred per cent attendance for January Is reported from the Per 1st, Conley and Long Mountain schools; S8 per cent or above Is the record from Butte Falls, Highland. Little Applegate, Laurelburst, Pilot Rock, Brownsboro and Lake Creek schools. Seventeen schools (includ ing Medford) report 95 per cent or above, and the 22 others report, at the lowest, 12 per cent, which is the requirement for a standard school. The very attractive Arbor day books for April 14, are now In the hands of the teachers. This bock contains illustrated lessons on Ore gon shnibs by Prof. Sweetzer of the University of Oregon; also music and words of "Beautiful Oregon Ross." Tbt latter Is song at scb council session, so the teachers may easily take It to Jheir schools. A uniform county drill Is being introduced under physical training work, with plans (or its use en masse on Jackson County School day. CITY COUNCIL HOLDS REGULAR MEETING The city council held their regular meeting last evening, with Mayor Lamkln presiding, and Councilmen Shinn, Harner and Pierce present. Regular routine business was trans acted. Among other things brought up w.:s a communication from Mr. lo re In regard to putting in a sarn ie filtering plant. Instructions were given the water superintendent to get prices on large water mains that must be replaced In Railroad addi tion In the near future. The city at torney was directed to draw up an ordinance to prevent planting of 'trees having long roots that Inter fere with and grow Into the sewers causing leaks. An ordinance was Introduced, drwn up by the railroad people to renew the franchise to take water through and under the streets of the city to the depot, and granting the privilege to the city by the rail road of crossing Its tracks with wa ter and light mains. An ordinance was also read that would affect all taxi drivers If put on the statute book. The latter two measures were deferred for further discussion at a later meeting. YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETIES HAVE IHQ SOCIAL FETK Stunts Given by Various Young Peo ple's Societies Full of Fun and Provoked Laughter from All Pres ent Punch and .Wafers Served. The Christian Workers Band en tertained the young people's societies of Ashland last evening at the Metho dist Episcopal church parlors. A number of Interesting and comical games were indulged In during the earlier part of the evening, and this was followed by stunts presented by each of the groups from the various churches. The Baptist Young People's Union led off with some "movies" In the o.ni of shadow pictures, featuring several s;ars of the first magnitude. The picture was finished by a suc cessful operation on a patient, and, after several yards of tape (worm) were removed It was thought that the patelent would soon be in nor mal health. The Christian Endeavorers of the Christian church Introduced the Guff quartet (or was It a sackstettT), from we don't know where. The art ists had very entertaining ears as well as beautifully blending voices. The Presbyterians appeared in a two-act comedy entitled, "Columbus Discovering America Up-to-date." The "Pinta" and "Santa Maria" were equipped with wlreles a and sent cheering messages to "Raln-in-tht-Face," the redman whom they were about to discover. It Is said that th coBtumes were Imported especial ly for the occasion. While out in mid ocean, one of the ships ran out of gas end the others had to stand by and give help. Some of the -.Indian squaws were taken on the return trip to Spain. The Congregational young people conducted a Chautauqua course, the manager being Rev. Oldfield, who closed their stunt by singing the modern version of "Annie Laurie." The program closed with the ap pearance of a prima donna, who played a human pipe organ, some thing never heard before Us intro duction by the Methodists. It proved to be a wonderful piece of mechan ism and responded readily to the touch of the trained fingers of the prima donna. Such pieces as "Old Black Joe," "A Pal of Yours," "Mar Jorie," and a German folk song met with the wholesome approval of the audience. Punch and wafers were then en Joyed by all present, and It was close to the witching hour of midnight when the crowd of about 110 reluct antly adjourned. The Christian Workers Band Is representative of all the young peo ple's societies of th. local churches The members are pledged to definite service to Christianity. At present, they are holding an hour of singing and Bible drill each Sunday after noon to which all young people in terested are Invited. The entertainment was undoubted ly one of the largest and best ever held In Ashland, and every one who attended says that for an evening's entertainment tt would be bard to beet. -From the time the first games opened until the refreshments were served, t'jre was never an Idle mom ent, and the laughter could be beard at times for blocks away. More of these good times are planned for the future, and the young people hope that still larger erowd than attended last night, will be present it the next gathering. COUXTY SHERIFF NOT DOING DUTY SAYS GRAND JURY The grand Jury filed its report Sat urday afternoon. The outstanding feature In the report Is the charge that Sheriff Charles E. Terrill "Is far from doing his duty, if not de liberately allowing wrong doers to escape the consequences." The re port sets forth that the governor of Oregon was appealed to for "assist ance as allowed by law" In the probe of the sheriff's office, as the situa tion was not critical, but pointed out that there was "remedy In recall." The Jury states that It was its "In tention of having the sheriff defend h:s action In court." The report also states that "this Jury had considerable difficulty in working harmoniously with the dis trict attorney, In some Instances," and recommends that "the state law be changed so a grand Jury can pro cure such legal assistance as It de sires." The grand Jury exonerates C. M. Ruch, one of the directors of the Jacksonville bank, but maintains si lence on cases pending and announ ces that a report is forthcoming from the state bank examiner. The report commends the work done In the county In the enforce ment of the prohibition laws. The county Is urged to expend $200 In Improving the county jail so as to minimize Jallbreaks and protect the Jailers. Auxiliary Legion Meeting The next meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary will be held In the Armory Tuesday evening, February 28. As this Is the same evening that the Legion meets, we hope that more new members will Join our organiza tion. It is the plan of the social committees of both organizations to have a real social affair at least once a month after the business meeting. We extend a very cordial invitation to all ellglbles of the Auxiliary to be present and come prepared to join the organization. Signed: Chairman Auxiliary Social Committee. MRS. M. S.

Angle was called by death Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, fter an llness of eleven weeks, at the age of 90 years, tino montlis, and nine days. Mr. Angle was born in Herrlck, Bradford county, Pennsylvania, where he lived until he came to the Pacific coast In the early eighties. He was located at various points In Jackson county for a few years after coming to the coast, but final ly moved to Ashland about thirty years ago and has been living here continually since that time. He was a man well versed In timber and had followed the business for many years, having been sent here to locate the A. C. Hopkins timber claim of sev eral thousand acres in this county long before a survey of the land was made. Mr. Angle was a man of temper ate habits and lived a clean and man ly life. Up to the time that he took his bed about eleven weeks ago, he was hale and hearty and able to get about as well as many men years his Junior. Mr. Angle leaves to survive him one son, Orra E. Angle with whom be has made his home since tlio death of his wife In 1908. The funeral services will be held Thursday afternon et two o'clock from the J. P. Dodge and sons under taking parlors and the body will be laid to rest by the side of his wife In Mountain View cemetery. HERMAN GERAVER CALLED BY DEATH Herman GeBeauer died yesterday evening at 6:30 o'clock, after an ill ness of but a few days, having had a paralytic stroke last Saturday and lying In a semi-conscious condition since that time. Previous to that time be bad been In a fair state of health for a man of bis age. Mr. GeBauer was born In the old country and came to America when a young man, first locating at La- Salle, 111., where he lived for several years. Later, he moved to Abilene, Texas, where he resided until the death of his wife a few years ago. Since then he has resided with son. Max OeBaner, first at Eugene and Granite Quarry Will Be Bought by Local People An option hag been obtained by Ashland Investors . on the granite quarry belonging to W. M. Blalr, lo cated seven miles southeast of the city on Neil creek, and a mile and a quarter from the railroad loading point known as Mistletoe. Six years ago Mr. Blalr began to operate a small quarry on his prop erty, at that time not realizing the actual value that was stored away In the hillside on .his ranch. As time went by, Mr. 1 Blalr gradually added equipment until he had a fair amount ot machinery, though not sufficient to fill large orders where Beveral carloads a day were re quired. After having submitted samples to various dealers and hav ing received their opinions in regard to the quality of the granite, Mr. Blalr decided he bad a very valu able property. However, being un able personally to finance the propo sition for the purchase of necessary equipment to enable him promptly to meet any order regardless ot size, and as he did not desire to call in outside capital, the property has never been brought to the notice ot the public to any great extent. About four years ago a prominent citizen of Ashland was asked by Mr. Blalr to go to Portland In his Inter- est, where the First National bank of that city was preparing to erect a new building, the construction of which would be largely granite, j of the amount of the cost of neces Upftn the representative's arrival In'sary equipment to place the quarry Portland he went to Interview the j in a position to take care of all or vlce president of the bank who wasjders promptly is from $25,000 to to manage the construction of the $50,000. now building. The Ashland party j The plan for financing the propo actlng for Mr. Blair, asked what jsltlon has not been completed, but all his intentions were In regard to building stone, and In reply he was asked to accompany the bank official i to the basement where stones from all over the country were assembled for Inspection. At one side of the room were two stones so similar that a person who not an expert along that line would not have been able to distinguish any difference In the quality of the two. One was the Barre granite, quarried In Barre, Vermont, and know the world over as the best granite obtainable. The other was a sample of Ashland gran-j tte from Mr. Blair's quarry. The ; bank official Informed Mr. Blair's . granite Is equal to, If It does not sur representatlve that of the two stones, i pass, the famous Barre granite of he believed the Ashland granite to j Vermont, Ashland has a chance of be the better and stated further that DOMESTIC A rrgular feature department edited by Mrs. Belle DeGraf Domestic Science Director California Prune & Apricot Growers Inc. LOOK AT THE HOST OF GOOD THINGS YOU CAN MAKE FROM PRUNES Prhaps no other dried fruf. Is quite so generally used as the prune; nor Is there any of more value In the diet. But how seldom you find this fruit properly cooked or prepared In tlio various toothsome ways to which It lends Itself. For that reason prunes are not as highly esteemed as they should be. Poorly cooked prunes are certain ly uninviting, and If the fruit has not been soaked In cold water for sev eral hours (over night la best) they will not be satisfactory. Long soak ing and slow cooking bring out the natural sugars and flavor. To pre pare the fruit It should be well washed and soaked in warm water to cover, then cooked slowly in the wa ter In which It was soaked Hintll ten der but not broken. Cooked by this method, sugar will not usually be ne cessary, but If so, add after the prunes are cooked but still hot en ough to dissolve the sugar; or re move the prunes, add sugar to the juice and cook until somewhat thick ened. The cooked prunes may then be served at once, but are much Im proved by standing 24 hours. Pre pared In this way the fruit will be plump and well seasoned to the cen ter. A few slices of lemon, orange later In this city. Mr. GeBauer was a member of the Lutheran church and A. F. A A. M. lodee No. 559 of Abilene, Texas, and the Order of Eastern Star of the same place, having served as treas urer of both Masonic fraternities in j that place for many years previous : to the time he left there. He was an ardent lodge member and was I always present at his home lodge. they would bave decided on the Ash land stone, but they had been in formed that the quarry at Ashland could not take out the stone as fast as the bunk would require It, once the construction was begun. From that time until a short time ago, the quarry was not brought to the attention of the public to any great extent. Two months ago, H, C. Galey endeavored to get local men interested In the quarry, thinking It might be made an Item of Interest and a thing worth while to Ashland. After having talked to various Ash land men whom he thought might be Interested, P. R. Hardy, of Spokane, Wash., arrived to visit his brother, William Hardy, of this city. P. R. Hardy is connected with a concern In Spokane which handles granite and Is himself a competent judge of stone. He visited the quarry and ordered a car of granite for his firm and after having talked with Mr. Galey regarding the quality of the stone, Mr. Galey 'expressed-a desire to get an option on the property. Mr. Hardy returned and talked to Mr. Blair, who finally gave Mr. Hardy an option. This option was then turned over to Mr. Galey, who has Interested local persons to the extent that they have practically guaranteed the fl- ! nnnclng of the proposition. The price to bo paid for the quarry Is 170,000, and a cursory estimate local people will have a chance to buy an interest before It Is offered on the outside market. However, nobody will be solicited to take any stock, for It Is believed that all stock not taken in Ashland will find a ready market elsewhere. The opening of a quarry of the ca pacity planned would create a pay roll of no little consequence to Ash land and should be given all the local assistance possible, for It Is an In dustry that may prove of far greater value than can be seen at present Inasmuch as reports from at least four different persons Btate that this becoming famous as city of granite SCIENCE or a stick of cinnamon offer a pleas ing variety of flavors. The prune Juice Itself provides one of the most healthful syrups. It Is often recom mended for Invalids, and offers one of the most harmless and efficient laxatives that can be given to chil dren. The chief nutritive element In dried frul:s generally Is sugar, while the greatest value to the diet Is derived from their mineral salts. It Is not bo long ago that fruit wan considered more or less an accessory a side Issue, an afterthought, In our scheme of unplanned meals. Science, however, has proved fruit to be an absolute necessity In every well-balanced diet. This explains why phys!clanr dle'Tins and domestic scientists Kir je.u i have been urging the increasing Importance of fruit In the dally fare. Especially Is this true of prunes. For prunes give you something you can get In no other way. Consider this: Prunes are rich in body-building and body-regulaitlng' elements. They contain more digestible natural fruit sugar than any other fruit. And this sugar Is quickly turned into energy for work or study or play. Search where you may, you will not find a better energy food for lively, romping folk than these sugar laden prunes. Besides, they are rich in tonic iron and other mineral and "vltamlne" elements needed for body tone. He leaves to mourn his loss, bis only child, Max, who, while many years his Junior, was ever an agree able companion. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the J. P. Dodge and Sons undertaking parlors, and will be private with the excep tions of the Masons who will have charge of the funeral. Burial will be In the Mountain View cemetery.
