ASHLAND, Aug. 9. Arrangements aro being shaped for holding, on Labor Day in the local parks, one of the big gest Woodman picnics on record. Some have discovered that the railroad men also are to picnic here on that date. So be it. There Is plenty of room for one arid all.

There will be a speaker of statewide reputation, games, and other sports, also dancing. On Wednesday evening of this week a committee from Mahogany Camp No. C565, M. W. A. of Ashland, will meet with Woodmen at Medford to discuss arrangements and perfect details. This committee includes G. W. McXabb, F. L. Nutter and H. R. Barnard.

A. camp at Talent will adopt a large class, and this event will Imply a social gathering on a big scale. As a preliminary to the Labor Day picnic here, it will afford an opportunity to further plans for the rousing celebration in Llthia park on Monday, Sept. 4, in which camps of Ashland, Medford, Central Point, Tal ent, and Grants Pass, as representing the M. W. A., will take a leading part in conjunction with the W. O..W. on a 60-50 basis: ' - : ' One of the Hardy brothers, who used to be employed at the local, -creamery, will succeed to the position of book keeper at the Enders department store a place vacated by F. J. Shinn who will soon return to Bremerton, Wash. While visiting the Grants Pass caves recently, George Kramer, who very carelessly carried a tallow dip Instead of the regulation highpowered flash light, accidentally stubbed his toe on a stalagmite. In stumbling, he hit his dome on a stalactite, and as a result about a ton of shale was released from overhead moorings and was precipitat ed with dull and thickening thud, blocking-all trains ;or several hours. The shock was severe, in fact as far! away as Eureka they likened it unto a slight treiiior of earthquake. Until a wrecking crew removed the debris, cavedwellers said that the interior looked like the Cow Creek canyon after a spring freshet. On Wednesday of this week the Bap tist Missionary society merged a busi ness session with a picnic i social. "Christian Education" was the topic discussed preliminary to a fes""-'. from well-filled baskets. On' Friday evening this week, pre liminary to their leaving for the .north to remain indefinitely their absence to be prolonged for a year at least Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Shinn will be guests at a gathering at the Presbyterian church, a social leave-taking informal ity, testifying to appreciation for these estimable people by co-workers and friends in general. In returning to Washington, Bremerton being the ob jective, they do not go to a locality aB strangers, having resided up north for years previous to coming to Ashland. Since residing here Mr. Shinn has been actively identified with the business life Of the community. As a member of the city council he has been an efficient factor in expediting every phase of municipal development along progressive lines, the city's routine business matters always receiving careful and prompt attention. Both Mr. and Mrs. Shinn have been pillars in -furthering all phases of church work. They are exonents of mutual helpfulness, and along social lines their characteristic geniality is a per ennial wcllspriiig of pleasure to many friends.
