RECALL PETITION' INAUGURATES A BITTER FIGHT The filing of the recall petition against Sheriff Terrill has stirred up a hornet's nest. The friends of the sheriff are making a searching ex- umlnatlon of the signatures to the petition, with the object of demand ing that a number of them be strick en from the list as not being quali fied voters. On the other hand, it Is claimed by those who are seeking the recall i of the sheriff, that he has employed men to go over the signatures, who are marking as Ineligible many qualified voters on the flimsiest pre texts, and seeking to have their sig natures stricken from the petition. One partlru'ar case Is cited as that of a resident of Ashland for 19 years who Is reported as being disqualified for the reason that In the signature only the initials of the name have!

BLAZE STORIED IN FERN VALLEY SWEPT SOUTH SEVERAL RAXCHES MADE SAFE FROM FLAMES BY BACK. FIRING Damage Reported to be Compi- lively Light, Although Escape of Grain Crops Is Regarded as A I most Miraculous, Iu the neighborhood of 50,000 acres of grass land In the hills north east of Talent and Phoenix, were burned over yesterday. All efforts to stop the blaze were of no avail un lorinea Darners oi green grass, ine comp'ete y burned over, the flames creeping up to the rear of the Sun- crest orchards, burning a good deal of the fence along the boundary of the orchards. The fire then burned across the hills to the edge of the L. H. Gallatin ranch, where it seemed to turn to wards the higher ground again. The Louis Werth ranch, which is near the Gallatin place, was endangered for a while, the fire making rapid progress towards the ranch buildings about 8:30 o'clock, and a back fire wag set to save the bui'dlngs. This strategy saved the buildings by the narowest of margins, as the flames were within 15 feet ot one of the large barns on the place before they were stopped. With the blaae shoot ing up 10 or 15 feet high at times, It was thought the barn would surely be lost despite the hereculean efforts of the fire fighters. Many of the melt engaged In bat tling the flames stayed on the job until after 10 o'clock without stop ping to eat. At 10 o'clock the lire appeared to be under control and the men took time for supper, but most of them returned and kept an outlook until well towards morn ing when It was definitely known that any danger wag past. Reports from the burned-over area today are that excep"t for a few smouldering stumps and fallen trees, the fire Is entirely extinguished. It is not known here just how much damage was done In the Fern Valley d strlct, but it is thought to have been light. Information at hand now falls to show any other damage than the burning ot a few small Isolated shacks. Mr. Werth and Mr. Gallatin consider themselves very fortunate that their grain was untouched, although the fire came to the edge of the fields. There is a good deal of grain on the sidehllls below Talent, but acording to report none of It was Injured. It is said the fire was started by ! children playing with matches. It gained headway so rapidly that the ranchers of Fern Va'ley were help less to stop It, and they restricted their efforts to keeping It out of the. heavily timbered mountains. It is thought this effort was successful. The point where the fire started Is about 12 miles from the Werth ranch where It was finally brought under control. The territory burned over varied in width from five to ten miles. FIRST RADIO INSTALLED AT LAKE OF THE WOODS George Virgil Gll'ette has re turned from a ten days' vacation at Lake of the Woods. He took his radio set with him and reports fine concerts each evening, as well as news of the day from Portland. MACAItEES riCXIC IX HONOR OF GUESTS The local Macabee lodge held a picnic In Llthia park Wednesday at ternoon and evening, having as Its guests ot honor, Mrs. Wilkinson, of i nicago. supreme sentinel ot the na tional organization, and Mrs. O'Brien of Portland, district deputy for the state of Oregon. An exceptlona'ly fine lunch was enjoyed by some 30 members of the lodge at 6 o'clock, and a short busl- ness session was held following the feed. All report an enjoyable time. LITHIAXS REJOICE OVER JULY FOCRTII SUCCESS The Lithlans held a "pop-off" In; the park last night, enjoying a feed and making merry over the fact that their first achievement the Fourth! of Ju'y parade had proved such a J huge success. j A few matters of formal business were d'sposed of, but the rejoicing of the "bubbles" so overshadowed everything else that the business was left for discussion at a later meeting. The picnic given Saturday aftor- noon by Jesse WInburn at Sap-and- Salt-In-the-Woods was highly enter taining to all the children and was thoroughly enjoyed by them as well as those who served on the com mittees, Tho children arrived at the grounds safe and sound and not ev en a scratch was suffered by any ot them and were greeted on their ar rival by some fine music by the boys' hand. The first thing on the program was the baseball match between the boys and the girls, which resulted in a 17 to 8 victory for the boys for which each received a baseball and the captain received a tennis racket. In the absence of Chester Woods, Gordon MacCracken acted as captain and received the tennis racket. The girls asked for a return date on the ball game, believing that they could come back and win from tho boys, so it was agreed that they meet Saturday, July 22, at which time the girls will make an earnest effort to "beat up" the boys. The balloon blowing contest for the younger children was won by Adelia Joy of the girls and Homer I McCoy of the boys. The girls were rewarded with a parasol, and the boys rece'ved the ever-welcome base ball. The baloon bursting contest which was pulled off was won by Robert Hnrndon, Hazel Duncan and1 Eleanor Swedenhurg, there belngj throe sets of children in tho contest. The rewards were baskets for the Kills and a bat for the boy. The girls' ua:k race was won by Genevieve Swedenhurg, with Elea nor Swetlenbiirg In second place. Tho, boys' race was won by Dick llilchcock villi Ro,'.f f Dew second. The reward wera pencils for both hoys and fjrls. The p,fiiinut race was won by Char les Frjncls Murphy with Eleanor CnomH u close second, and the boy was rewarded: with a baseball while iho g'.il was given stockings. Tha boys" boxing match was be tween Stevo Ludlow and Wayno Wentuer, mid both boys proved to be good sIdo-Bteppcrs when in a close place anil both came out without any injuries. The girl boxers were Gen evieve Swede.'nburg and Josephino Barber and ended without any hair being pulled as is sometimes the case in matches of this kind. Miss Velma. Clapp guvn an exhibi tion dance which was enjoyed by all and In turn was given a vanity case for her endeavors. The Tefreslunentn consisted of a wide variety of eats and afler the athletic events there was not a child present that was bashful about help-1 ing themselves or tailing for whatj was in sight to eat. Sandwiches, j strawberry shortcake, ice cream and; heaps of other good things melted liefore tho children but all were fin ally satisfied and started for home about 5:30. Ashland has seldom had in her midst an entertainer the equal of Mr. WInburn and never one who took such good care of the children and gave them such royal times as they have enjoyed at this picnic and the one given--by Mr. WInburn last yeaT. The children are unanimous in giving a vote of thanks and hope tlwt their actions were such as to be assured of another Invitation next year. Y. M. C. A.

Don't offer your driveling sympathy nor plly her lonely life; it Isn't needed by such as she, save It up. for your own dear wife. Just step to the glass there, you gay o'd rake, and lake a squint at yourself. Did she show poor judgment in fal ing to In ke such a contract us you on herself? She took your measure and sized you up, and decided, for better or worse, she would pin her faith to a biindle pup and save this expense of divorce. You say plie Is childless? Not f-:o, old boy, see them cluste' about her chair; her heart is big with u motherly joy, while she welcomes "her children" there And lonely, you say? I reckon nut. Her cup Is fu 1 to tha brim, While she glads full many a lonely spot, Full many an eye that is dim. The bachelor maid is the salt of the earth, The queen of her own destiny; The life she leads is the proof of her worth, And she smiles at your weak sympathy.

He said that when he bestrlded a stool for the purpose of assuaging his thirst with a cool nnd ever-refreshing ice cream I V. : .. . t. . t. Aw isi, hiij-hht m inn imuu im r.. I if the mixer happened to put one of those On to Rlchmon' " cherries on top of It, he always charged a nlckei extra for the drink. "Why," be said, "if you wag to ! M-'t one of these M.ny Ann BIngs or Lamberts with the drink It would be ii d'mo extra, and bes'des, no one would ever bo known to pass a place v. here such drinks were being sold. without taking one, unless he was n front of a cyclone." All of which proves that what must people I now about the cherry business, It v liat they learned from i adiu:; that George Washington and the hatchet story. Let me tell you ' right here, that In my opinion if young George had used his hatchet on a Royal A,.u, Iling or Lambert, l Instead of a May kuke, the paternal side of that story would have had a lot more kick In It. I was up on Scenic D-ire the other day and Tom Hudscn showed me a Royal Ann cherry tree that some ten years ago Mr. Daiinan had thrown out of a lot of trees that he had pur chased, because he d d not consider it worth planting. Tom took that little, knocked kneed, outcast Mary Ann home and planted her, and ho said that during the past three year she had borne on an average of 300 pounds of cherries a year, and that these cherries had brought about 10 (eiiis per pound. When you analyze lliis you will find that this tree Is doing more good to humanity than a $'))( government bond. One acre of ground will furnish ample room for 00 of these trees. It Is a slmp'e mailer for you to figure out wheth er or not tlie cherry business will pay. If we ever get busy putting Iheso cherries up for the south an-I eastern trade Ashland will surely bp much better known than sho Is to day, and her people will have more money. JOHN H. DILL.
