Leo Pockmitz and H. Cohen, mil
lionaires of central California, togeth
er with a party of friends including
G. J. Panario, cashier of the Italian-
American bank of San Fraancisco,
enroute to the Alaska-Yukon exposi
tion, using two 17000 French motor
cars, sojourned a few days in Ash
land stopping at the Hotel Oregon,
They looked over the town and parks
generallly and were delighted with
their stop. When leaving they stat
ed that it was with reluctance, since
during all their travels both in for
eign countries and in America, they
had never found a more delightful
place for recuperation and enjoy
ment. The pure cold water, the in
vigorating atmosphere, properly tern-
pered for comfort, the beautiful park
and scenery did it all.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Reames, Mr?
and Mrs. John Orth, Mrs. Strickfa
den and her neice. Miss Eva Drey
ius of Seattle were guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Staples on a trip to Mt.
Ashland last Saturday and Sunday
The visitors have traveled a very
great deal over the United States
visiting comfort and scenic resorts
and were unanimous in saying that
this trip would be remembered as one
of the most interesting aud pleasant
ever enjoyed by them.
They expect
to go again and take other friends
with them.
In Menioriam
Miss Caroline Frances Carpenter,
oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. C.
Carpenter, Liberty street, died Sun
day morning at 3:30 after a long ill
ness of tuberculosis.
Miss Carpenter was born February
22nd, 1888, at Forest River, North
Dakota, where she grew to woman
hood and was universally loved for
her sweet disposition and helpful
life. At the age of 9 she united with
the First Presbyterian Church of
Forest River and ever since has been
an active worker especially in the
Christian Endeavoj Society, and a
consistent Christian.
As soon as they discovered the
presence of the dread ‘White
Plague,” her parents brought her
West, hoping a change of climate
might beueflt her and they were in
Eastern -?J[ashingtajn a short time,
coming to Ashland last January. In
all her suffering she was very pa
tient and uncomplaining and fell
sweetly asleep, awaking, we are sure,
fn the presence of him whom she
served so faithfully aere. Saturday
she received a box from her old C. E.
friends in North Dakota, containing
many beautiful remembrances and
expressions of the love and apprecia
tion of her life-long companions.
The funeral service was held from
her late home on Liberty street,
Monday, August 2nd, 2:30 p. m.,
conducted by Rev. Ward W. Mac-
Henry, pastor First Presbyterian
church and the interment w’as in
Mountain View Cemetery. A quartet
from the church choir furnished ap
propriate music.

DECLARE REPUBLIC
Wishington, D. C.—The House
Satuday adopted the conference re
port on the tariff bill, 195 to 183
Tweiy Republicans voted against
the eport and two Democrats for It.
The entire Pacific Northwest delega
tion, except Poindexter, of Washing
ton, voted for the bill.
Minn of Illinois, in a sensational
spee-h said he would vote against
the report unless the rates on pulp
and print paper as reduced by the
housq were retained. He declared
that panada would take such action
regarding pulp wood and print paper
as to plac^ an almost prohibitory
price upon paper in this country.
Payue appealed to his Republican
colleagues to stand by the bill, say
ing that if they wanted to drive their
party into chaos they could vote
against it. But he said it would be
a delusion to vote against the bill
upon the idea that the Dingley rates
would be continued.
Payne estimates that the increase
of revenue that, would result from
the enactment of the bill will be
$4O.OUO.OUtt annually.
Don Jaime de Bourbon to Lead the
Revolution.
London, Aug. 2.—Messages re
received here are to the effect that
Spanish troops had been repulsed in
a collision with revolutionaries at
Barcelona and that the insurgents
have proclaimed a republic. A meet
ing of Carlist leaders has been held
at Figueras and the arrival is ex
pected of the pretender. Don Jaime
de Bourbon, tn order to place him
self at the head of the rebellion.
Color is '.ent to the report by
other dispatches emanating from
Cerbere on the Franco-Spanish fron
tier. These tell of a continuance of
fighting between the troops and rev
olutionaries in Barcelona, showing
the government has not gained con
trol of the insurgents, as censored
dispatches stated._ , ■»

favorable to the government. The
revolutionary movement is spreading
to the Basque provinces and is ex

Average Rate Higher.
Champ Clark, the Democratic
leader, said President Taft had been
imposed on by being made to believe
that the conference report was really
a revision downward. Clark sub
mitted a table showing that th - av
erage rate of the report is 1.73 per
cent higher than the average rate
of the Dingley law If scores of new
items In the report, but not in the
Dingley taw. were added, Clark said,
the average increase would be at
least 2 per cent.
The conference report will un
doubtedly be adopted by the senate
Seven or eight of the original “in

opposition to the report, but it is
