WALTER MILUR TO
WRESTLE 1 HAND
ASHLAND IN JULY
ASHLAND, June 16. A leading ath
letic event will bo added to the Fourth
of July celebration schedule, referring
to a wrestling mutch between Ralph
Hand, of Gold Hill, well known in local
Bporting circles, and Walt Miller, of
Log Angeles, professional champion in
middleweight records. Some folks
who regard a boxing bout as i slug
ging contest not far removed from the
prize ring, have uo compunctions in
witnessing a skillful wrestling match,
n.icnce none need fear that this athletic
test will be banned from the regular
program. The lid here on the national
holiday will be lifted insofar as all gen
uine tests of either skill or strength
are concerned, provided they are con
ducted within due bounds as far as
legislative statutes are concerned.
Elks picnic grounds on Itogue river

annual outing of telephone employes,

' hello" centers. .
W. D. Jackson, of this vicinity, has
bought out the Bond pool hall on the
Plaza, the transfer having taken place
early in the week, llond has extensive
orchard holdings near Talent, and a
prospective bumper crop will demand
strict attention to rural instead of
urban activities. Moreover, he is large
ly interested In petroleum pursuits In
the notable Mundy district tributary to
Medford, from which section emanates
that expressive refrain, "Boring for
Oil," with diamond drill accompani
ments. Two large legcndnry signs greet
tourists on the Pacific highway in ter
ritory auout tins town, une is a mam
moth hotel announcement, advertising
the Hotel Ashland, this being' located
midway between Medford Mil Central
Point. The other relates to a subject
rather far fetched, the guidoboard be

Tacoma and Its surroundings in the
Puget Sound country. The llotol Ash-

In making the trip to San Francisco
by the auto route, Bob Warner had for
8iiiercargo Dave Jackson, after whom
the noted hot springs, between here
and Frederick, are named. By the way
these springs are being notably im
proved this season, so that the weary
and dusty traveler may obtain a much
needed bath. Located direct on the
line of the Pacific highway, here is a
resort which should assume big pro
portions and hence be liberally patron
ized. The Helton property on Pioneer ave
nue, has been transferred to A. L.

It has been thought by some that
"Pop" Weisenburger's head will be
turned by the attentions which have
' been showered upon him as the stan
dard bearer of Hillah Temple's patrol
at San Francisco. However, after the
big doings in San Francisco, he will
visit a month or so with relatives re
siding in the vicinity of that city, and
before returning to the old familiar
habitat in Ashland, It is expected that
his mind will resume its equilibrium.

contrary, to municipal ordinance. In

offense, it remained for an Interurban
jitney driver to repeat the experience
early in the week, the penalty being
five dollars and costs.

dergo an operation for cancer of the

tion but was given the Violet Ray In

North Talent has been rented by
