Alice Sinytho Jay, the composer and writer of music, assisted by Miss liuth Campbell, violinist, will present the program. Mrs. Jay has been tho musical di rector in conservatories of New York City and in California and has come to Medford to establish her perma nent home. Many compositions are to her credit, among them was the cborua of Tipperary. For a long time the subjects taken up at the forum have been strictly business propositions and It seems fitting that during tho period when most members have In mind some recreational feature, that an Im promptu musical next Wednesday noon at tho Medford Hotel will bo ap preciated by all in attendance. ELK CREEK T. D. McDonald, proprietor of the "White Trout" store, has been quite ill for a week and is still confined to the bed. Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Burnham of Martinez, Cal., will arrive at the hotel soon for an extended sojourn. Work on the Crater Lake highway is progressing. Tho roads are im proving bringing increased travel. A very pretty wedding was solemn ized Sunday evening at seven o'clock at the home of J. E. McDonald, when Miss Violent Annette Hoskins, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hoskins, and John Gordon Warner, son of Mrs. Warner of Trail Creek, were united in marriage by Rev. J. B. McDonald in the presence of relatives and friends. The charming bride was daintily gowned in white organdie. They de parted amid showers of rice In a gaily decorated car with best wishes for a long, happy life together. Tho Rogue Elk Hotel is a busy plnse these days with its many guests from far and near.

As an evidence that the city means business in forbidding picnic parties in canyon territory, this district is being patrolled, Elmer Biegel being the offi cer with full police irowers. Moreover, he is "armed" with a speedy motor cycle. A word to the guys ought to be sufficient. The lightning of publicity as reflect ed in the "Who's Who" volume of celebrities, for the year 1922-23, only struck two personages in Jacksnn county, these being Edison Marshall, of Medford, writer, and Hiram D. Sic- Caskey, of Central Point, geologist. Nobody in Ashland seemed olegibile to this honor. Throughout Oregon at large, the names of 142 - persons -nre represented. The big volume has 3520 pages, and contains biographies, both brief and extended, of 24,278 noted people In America who have gained prominence In the business and profes sional world.

The number of preachers in Ash- landa and 'their name Is even more than legion is being augmented by several others who are hero for the summer vacation. The family of Rev. H. E. Borden, who is the Presbyterian pastor at Weed, are here for several weeks, occupying the Shell residence on Granite street. Through the agency of the Gold Dust twins, Holmes grocery lias won anoth er prize, In the face of much competi tion, for an effective and novel window display, notably artistic and original, in line with Mr. Holmes' skill in decor ative specialties. Jim Thompson, old-time telegrapher, years since located at Yreka, and now manager of the Postal branch offices at the Ferry building in San Francisco, grows reminiscent in a recent issue of the Call over some ancient history, notably circumstances connected with the Modoc war and the execution of Indians at Fort Klamath. At that time Jacksonville was the nearest telegraph station within reach of the fort, with two roads leading to it. By way of Ashland the distance was 120 miles, and via the Rogue river road 135 miles. However, there was an old mountain trail which reduced the distance to 80 miles between the Fort and Jackson ville. Thompson was selected to for ward the reports for the California Associated press, although' a number of reimrters for rival eastern papers were in the field. The mountain trail was chosen, the distance of 80 miles i.oinir covered hv three pony messen ger relays in three flours and forty-five minutes, to the discomfiture of runners over the other routes. A few of the nirt timers hereabouts remember Thomnson. who is now 80 years old, and has been a telegrapher for 60 years. Another interesting circum stance relates to military matters of that period. After Gen. Canby was assassinated, and at the time of the execution of the Indians, Gen. Jeff C. Davis was In command. He was one of Sherman's brigadiers, and early In the civil war, in an altercation with a superior officer, he shot Gen. Nelson dead at the Ualt Mouse in ijouinvino, Ky., being promptly acquitted by court tained the eight hour day and former working conditions.
