TTlltJ magnificent ntulieitpp that gathered front till parts of tho Roguo river valley !M outlay evening to bo pros out nl the opening of tho now Page Theater, was a tribute of appreciation on tho part of tho people of Dr. 1 C, Paso's efforts to provide on adequate playhouse for South ern Oregon and of the management's onderfvor to supply the demand of a eultured pliblic for high class theatrical productions. Dr. Pa i;e has shown his faith in Mod ford and tho val ley's future in a most striking manner, by erecting in a period of business depression, tho finest theater in the state outside the metropolis. That. Jus enterprise is ap preciated by all communities Avas shown by the good will offering at the initial performance. Maude Adams in Peter Pan can scarcely be called a suitable production for tho occasion. The management, however, had littlo choice, it was So lato in the season. Peter Pan is a child's play better as a matinee than as a stellar attraction to dedicate a playhouse. It is a com monplace fairy story, well acted and elaborately staged- but not particularly entertaining oNeept to the juvenile mind. Maude Adams herself is perhaps tho most striking example of the trust manufactured star now boforo tho footlights an instance of what money can do with medio crity. Strong support, elaborate settings, resplendaut scenic effects and above all plenty of printer's ink horo you have the formula of creating a modern stellar attrac tion. The ability of the star makes no difference to the commercialized Hebrew dictators of the drama. To them acting is acting and Rosalind is equally fitted to be Hamlet, or L'Aiglon, or Chanticleer or Peter Pan it's a mere mat ter of advertising and accessories. A LESSON PROM VERMONT. TWO years airo Vermont X Jlicitv Bureau" which secretary or sxaie ami wnose scencrv lmntiuir and fislumr Thousands of circulars the country over the signature ot the secretary ot state, advertising that state as tlio Switzerland of America and the results obtained during the two years of the bureau's work are so gratifying that this year the appropriation for the work has been doubled. Tf Vermont, where the no trespass signs are more numerous than its game birds, and where the taking of a pound trout on a fly is largely a legend, can profit by ad vertising its scenic and game features, what would intelli gent advertisement of tin scenic Avondcrs and the paradise furnished by Southern Oregon to the pasttime seeker and sportsman accomplish.

Nearly a hundred automobiles turned out in Mcdford and gave the visitors a two hour sight seeing tour through the vollev. It was not mentioned. While Ashland which contributed two cars for the visitors entertainment reaped all tho Orcgonian 's press notice for Southern Oregon. About the only publicity Mcdford ever obtains from the Orcgoniau's news service is the raiding of a bawdy house or something equally salacious. ' The Agates of Southern Oregon (By L. "E.

FLOOD VICTIMS Tho performance of tho Chalmers "3G" In traveling from Toleda to Da) ton nnd from Dayton to Detroit, whllo the recent disastrous flood was nt Its height in Ohio, la regarded by motorists na ono of tho moat ro mnrknuto feats of the kind on record. Tho Chalmers was aent out ns n relief car and with tho exception of three punctures, picked up on tho debris littered streets of Dayton, Il was not uecesmtry to uuko a sIukIc ndjustmont or repair to tho enr dur ing tho wholo time. Although loaded down with extra equipment, medical suppllea and pro Islon until- It' welshed more than 0000 pounds, the machine went every foot of the way on Its own power nnd was never stalled Motorists nud city authorities In Toledo attempted to dissuade tho IHtrolt wen from attempting tho trip, declaring that tlu roads wore not only Imiiassnblo on account of the mud but that th high wnter nindo tlio attempt ex ceedingly dangerous. Time and ngnln It was found neces sary to back up nnd buck the mud at a snow plow clears tho drifts, A short dlitnucu nut ot Toledo tho roads woro two and one-half feet un der water for stretches ot a mllo at a time. And there was practically no bottom to tho roads. At some points thoro was nothing to Indloate tho position of tho road but occa sional fence posts at either side, ox- poacd for a few Inches above tho murky flood. Near Kenton, Ohio, tlio only brldpo our what was ordi narily a sluKslsh. creok but now a swollen torrent, was washed away. No advantage could bo mado by do touring and after a hasty survey of tho situation It was decided to "shoot" tho stream. Taking n start of several rods tho driver launched tho machlno Into tho swirling waters. Fortunately the bed nf tho crccw wai solid and In less time than It takes to tell tho car was on tho other side. Tho crook was orcr flvo feet deep In tho middle All day and all nlsht tho car fought Its way, sometimes through fields and sometimes on tho turf along tho roadside. Tho follow-In? morning the rcllof party arrived In Dayton and was assigned to attempt a dash for Hamilton, 55 miles dis tant, to learn of conditions there. Tho trip was mado In ono hour nnd -45 minutes, an avorago of hotter' than SS miles an hour. Tho Journoy back to Detroit was started tho Sunday after tho flood began to recede Sunday night was spent In Toledo and tlio party ar rived nt tho Chalmers factory early Tuesday, Tho speedometer showqd that tho car had traveled twlco tho dlatnnco that would havo been cov ered under ordinary conditions.
