Tito Electric, hnselmll town left
Medford for Prospect nt 4:20 p. m.,
July 3, for n game with the. Prospoct
Construction company's tonm nt that
plnce.
In tliu party wore: Mr. ntitl Mr.
It. K. Ebel, Mr. and Mrs. Dillon. Mr.
and Mrs. Whiting, Mr. and Mrs. F.
A. Hiiffum, Mr. nnd Mrs. Thotn, and
Messrs. Hcnstrom, Childers nnd
Evans.
The trip to Prospect was made in
two three-seated rigs and occupied
part of the two days, the party stop
ping for the night nt Trail, and com
plcting the journey on the morning
of the Fourth, arriving at Prospect
about 12:30 p. in.
Tho entire party were amply re
paid for the long and arduous trip
up tho mountains by the warm nnd
hearty welcome- received, nnd the
first class etnertainment furnished
by tho boys at Prospect. They had
everything for the amusement nnd
comfort of the visitors, n royal good
time was enjoyed by every member of
the party, nothing being left undone
that would add to the pleasure of the
visit.
Among the sports on tho program
for tho Fourth were: A good old
ball camp between the Electric team
nnd the team from Prospect, a roek
drilling contest, which was something
new to most of the party, a 100-yard
dash or men, a 50-yard dash for the
women (which was a corker- three
of the women falling down during the
course of the 50 yards); a flag-
raising and a big dance on an open
platform in the evening, lasting into
the wee small hours of the night.
This hitter event was hugely en
jdyed by all hands, ns the mountain
evenings are "just lovely" nnd the
moonlight was of just the right qual
ity for the enjoyment of dreamy
waltzes nnd the tripping of the light
fantastic toe. In fact all members
of the party had an all-around
bnng-up good lime.
One needn't go to Switzerland to
gaze on Scenery take the trip to
Prospect it is the best there is
the cool mountain nir is a great relbf
from the heat of the city, and the
Views one can obtain of the scenery
en route will long linger in the mem
ory of the members of the party.
Of course, the feature of the day
was the ball game, which attracted
a large and eutljusiastic crowd who
were good natured and out for a good
time. The Prospect boys cleaned up
the Medfords by a score, of 10 to 11,
whining a deserved victory.
Apropus of a mistaken report cir
culated in regard to the composition
of the Electric team, it might be said
that a full team from the Electric
office was planned, but at the last
moment, only two or three of the
team beinn available, it was necessary
to get players from outside to fill the
vacancies. Every member of the
electric team was seen in regard to
making the trip, and nil were taken
who signified a willingness to go.
The rock drillers drilled 33 inches
in 15 minutes, William Peterson nnd
E. C. Eggor winning. Hurry Smith
nnd Mr. Whiting tied in the 100-yard
dash, It. R. Ebel coming in next. Mrs.
Lusby won the women's race, Mrs.
Daly nnd Miss Hannah, getting sec
ond and third.

San Francisco to Market Diamond

CLUB MOVES
FOR
QHWAYS
Eugene Smith of the Monarch Oil
refining company of San Francisco,
makers of the Diamond lubricating
oil for automobiles, onme to town
July :t with tho idea of probably
placing n modest order for his goods.
Instead he will make Medford n dis
tributing point for his products.
Mr. Smith said he had heard cf
Medford, of course, but had classed
it as one of the small towns between
Portland and San Frntieiseo. Hut to
quote the gentleman, he says:
"I began to hear of Medford's cel
ebration, the 3d and 4th down in
northern California and wondered
that there should be so much talk
about an ordinary 4th of July cele
bration. I came to Ashland July 3,
cnlled on my customers only to learn
thnt they were nil in Medford. 1
made up my mind that if 1 were go
ing to do business 1 should have to
go to Medford where everyone else
seemed to be and to say that I was
astonished ns to what I saw is put
ting it mildly.
"You have the town, you have the
spirit, you have the men, and from
what I can learn you have the re
sources back of all this and instead
of trying to place an' order I shall

a committee composed of J. F. Hedtly,
F. OsenbriiKKC C. K. Whlsler, A. K.
Kennies, Q. Putnam and K. W. Hnhl
was appointed to Investigate tho Rood

tho governor to call a special session
of the legislature.
Tho president was authorised to
appoint a committee or ten to rep
resent the Commercial Club at the
mining congress to be held at Grants
Pass July 18.
President Colvlg stated that he hao
Just returned from a trip to Prospect
and that the Crater Lake road need
ed repairs badly, tho worst section
being between Trail and Pumice
lilll. He stated that farmers along
tho road were ruining it by running
open Irrigating ditches across It, and
even those who had culverts, put
thorn above tho road grade. Dr. J.
Keddy. F. Osenbruggo and It. W.
arrange to make Medford n distrib
uting point for southern Oregon for
our lubricating oils. ,
"Perhaps you don't know that we
have the largest oil refinery in the
United States at West Berkeley. We
are in no way connected with either
the Stnndnrd or Union Oil companies.
lue growing popularity of the gas
engine is furnishing nn immense
market for lubricating oils ns well
as gasoline. The big companies cer
tainly have n comer in the product
and are handing the people what
might be called nn 'unreasonably'
shady deal. Within a few months
every motorist in the valley will be
demanding our oil."

zio, the most famous Italian poet of
modern times, has left his native land

clares hereafter ho will live and
write-exclusively In French.
Although his trouble is wrapped
In obscurity, It is hinted that D'An
nunzio Is deeply In debt In Italy, w(th
his publishers as well as Individual
creditors. It is known that the Ital
ian publishers have a monopoly on all
that he writes In the Italian lang
uage, and it may be that ho has come
to Franco to escape that compulsory
market. Recently bis villa near

tents of ancient curiosities and art
objects to satisfy certain creditors.
