'ArRTL 23. -192.1 "PAGE THREE TAUQUA j Plans for the 1923 Chautauqua as sembly In Medford worn arranged for lit a moettng of the signers of the Contract Friday evening ut the Med ford public library. The meeting was rulled by N. H. Franklin, chairman elect, and In the absence of the ij-easurer, O. C. Boggs, the report of finances was read 'by the secretary, 7 yeorge J. Kunzman, which showed all bills paid for the past year and a clear slate for this year. A motion made by Itev. Lawrence and seconded by William Lyman, prevailed that the chairman appoint the following and any other neces sary committees: Publicity commit tee, arrangements committee, ticket committee and junior Chautauqua committee. The following appointments were made: Arrangements: II. W. Con ger and Mr. Lyman; publicity: Au brey G. Smith, It. A. Koppes and Mrs. E. N. Warner; tickets; Cash Wood and Mrs. Alenderfer; junior Chautau qua: Rev. Lawrence, Miss Elizabeth Ferguson) and Mrs. S. L. Leonard. In each case the first named were chairman and they had tho privilege of appointing as many assistants as were necessary. Indicated by quite a large attend ance at the first meeting and the gen eral Interest shown, coupled with the fact that Medford has offered one of the best programs ever presented anywhere in Chautauqua assemblies, j this year's affair will r.o doubt be a big success. Several of tho chairmen ZIZZIT"? Immediately "ea meetings of their various committees1 and began work at once. Perhaps the leading attraction on this year's program will be the drama, "The Slienherd of the Hills," by Harold Bell Wright, presented by a most able cast. The entire pro gram is profuse with good talent and most attractive numbers Mr tranklin requests a meeting of all the committees on Wednesday evening at the library at 7:30 o'clock and urges the chairman of each com mittee to have all Its members pres ent. . , .

The "400" are well represented here now, with the traditional aristocratic exclusive set we read about; but rather the cosm politnn commercial club coterie, or strictly speaking, the chamber of com merce membership, as a result of tho expansion campaign drive of the past few days.' On Saturday evening the lists showed 400 enrollments, but the effort will not stop here, as the goal to be reached is set for an even 500 members, and the canvassers will not cease their labors short of that mark. Not only is this boosting record in view, but this week the work of realiz ing delinquent and lapsed members will be continued by a special commit tee, the plan being to attend to this phase of the campaign while enthust asm is being manifested at peak load capacity. Nearly 60 members of general committee, including captains, engineered this expansion drive, one in many respects the most notable in the history of the commercial body. An Innovation being introduced is that of employers assuming memberships for their employes, the First National bank leading in this respect through its cashier, J. W. McCoy, whilo C. H. Pierce, in behalf of Ford headquarters, performed a like service, and it is con fidently expected that other business establishments will follow suit. Names of some non-residents are noted in the lists, notably officials of the Southern Pacific, also Medford folks, all these "aliens" being welcome as participat ing in the general roundup tor public Bflvlfn rin tha rn.nnarnlva nlnn n a applying either to individuals, municl- palities, corporations, or business firms. Membership implies a mini mum subscription of one dollar per month payable monthly or quarterly durng the current year, preferably in advance. On the basis of a 500 mem bership this factor alone would afford the chamber of commerce a working raunity cheat tl capitaIize lta activitie3 for the fiscal peariod beginning May 1. "Throughout My Whole Life I Will Endeavor to Lead a. Christian Life" was the sermon topic of Pastor Koeh- gathering of young people. Sunday I was the closing day of the convention; In the early morning there was a quiet hour observance, also a communion service. In the afternoon a song ser vice was supplemented by devotions, conferring of degrees, a junior pa geant, and several addresses,' "Mlspah" being held at 5:30 o'clock. With tha opening ot the convention, greetings from Francis E. Clark, father of the Christian Endeavor movement and its world president, were read by Elaine Cooper, state president of the society. A banquet was served on Saturday evening at which delegates were en tertained in addition to a number of townspeople. Funeral services of the late Percy Cheever, South Pacific employe, who died recently at the company's gen eral hospital at San Francisco, were held on Sunday at Drain. He leaves a wife but no children, - The cow belonging to the -Dickey family, Mechanic street residents who are soon to move to their new home on the Boulevard, died lost week, symptoms indicating poisoning due to their malignancy. Bossy was a, fam ily favorite, and its passing under the circumstances was particularly dis tressing. The Medford Sun of yesterday Is re ceiving compliments regarding Its metropolitan appearance both as to extent' and quality of reading matter. Prof. A. L. Lomax, of the State unl verslty, Eugene, was In town last week, securing data as to incidents both historical and biographical rela tive to southern Oregon,, in connec tion with research work along these Ihnowits IVe used only lines being conducted by that Institu tion. Among decorations at the Presby terian church Incident to the Chris tian Endeavor convention, was Mabel Russell's painting representing Crater Lake, a work of art resplendent in its setting of fir and pine and beautiful spring blossoms, typifying the title of the Southern Oregon unit of the En deavor following. In view of a ceremonial to be held by Hillah Temple in ABhlund on May 25, its patrol is In active practice on a schedule of drills being held both in this city and Medford In rotation. The minimum, ot' the personnel is 25, Geo. It. Chapman of Jacksonville, having been recommtssloued as captain. Of the rank and file, Honry Endors, Jr., Glenn Simpson, diet Wolters, Kufus Detrlck, and Chris Welsenburger have thus far been appointed from this lo cality. Greek letter frats have even invaded the national forestry department, and Ed Mowat, local student at Corvallis, has been pledged to membership In the XI Sigma PI, whatever that means. The ceremony of Induction is a weird one, and is usually conducted at the witching hour of midnight, a huge con flagration adding to mystic effects, probably typifying tho terrors of a forest fire. The D. A. It. gathering at the Civic clubhouse last week was addressed by Mrs. Emily Mallett, state president of the W. Cv T. U., on prohibition prob lems. Several other visitors were present, and the meeting proved to be both intellectually and socially a splendid afternoon's diversion. The first school picnic of the season was hold In the gym on Saturday, weather conditions preventing an In cursion among tho typical hill and dale environment. At the Methodist church on Sunday Rev. R. W. Nelson, of Montana, occu pied the pulpit, in the absence of Pas tor Chaney in attendance uion an Epworth League conference at Eu gene. Conforming to suggestions made, and as evidence of appreciation of Jesse Winburn's benefactions to the town, the name of Park avenue is to be changed to Winburn Way. On Tuesday evening a card party will be held at the Civic club building. Bruce Lininger has been elected manager of the Cannery as reorgan ized, and E. E. Phipps, secretary. The board of directors includes Dr. F. G. Swedenburg, Chas. Banta, Thornton Wiley, C. H. Pierce, and E. E. Phipps. The, Wednesday Afternoon club meets on April 25. EAGLE' POINT EAGLETS By A. C. nowlett In my last I merely mentioned- tho fact that we wero tavorod with a very fino entertainment by tho Parent Teachor association of Medford, but If I stop short with that statement I feel that I would be guilty of wil ful negligence, if not something; worse, for wo had in addition to the fino play given, some fine renderings) of instrumental and vocal music ns anyono could desire anywhere. The music was given by the Medford la dies' orchestra and through tho kind ness of Professor E. C. Root, con ducto, I am enabled to give tho names of tho members and tho dif ferent instruments they played: Among tho violinists were Mildred and Bornico Burger, Mrs. Maddox and Miss Whitman; clarinet, Juanita Griffin; saxophone, Mrs. E. C. Root, Mrs. J. Darby, Miss Ruth Daniels; cornets, Mrs. J. Shockley, Mrs. An derson; trombone, Mrs. Bergman; piano, Miss J. Griffin. There was some very fine vocal music, but I failed to secure the name, but she was encored, and thus favored us with two lovely renderings. I nlso failed to secure the ' names of the principal actors, but feel safo In say ing that if they will ever favor us with another visit, they will receive a cordial greeting. There was a fine attendance, and the receipts of tho evening were $40.80, and that was equally divided between the Parent Tencher association of Eaglo Point nnd tho Parent-Teacher association of Medford. There was quite a num ber of the Medford people came out to attend the exhibition. Thero was a meeting of tho teach ers' institute here Saturday forenoon and those In attendance wero Mrs. Susanne Holmes Carter, tho county school superintendent and Miss Burr, her assistant; Mrs. Josephine Holmes, tho principal of- our school and Miss Ruth Wiley our prlmnry teacher; Glenn Halo of Reese Crock; Mrs. Ieo Edmundson. Professor Lowe of Butte Falls; Miss Frieda Hnnson, Cli max; Hazel Taylor, Butte Falls; Mrs. Roy Stanley, Brownsboro; Mrs. Laura C. Atpence, Lnke Creek. Thero was but little business transacted. It was decided to have two meetings for next yenr, ono long and one short. Miss Holmes entertained tho visiting teachers and superintendent and hor assistant at lunch. Among the visitors at the Sunny side Saturday were Shorty Allen of Wellen, T. E. Hnyse, O. 'H. Buzzard, J. McKctrick and George Hiltock wero tho guests of Ralph Cowglll. I sec that I have omitted to men tion that tho Ladies' Civic Improve ment club met last Thursday, April 12 at the home of MIbs Rose Smith and bused themselves folding the leaflets advertizing the country around Eagle Point, that will be watered by tho Eaglo Polnt-Butto Falls canal. Lunch was served by tho hostess, Mrs. Smith, and a fine social time was enjoyed. Among tho callers Sunday were Mr. nnd Airs. William Perry and his mother, Mrs. F. M. Stewart, F, F. Whittle and wife ot Ashland, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gates nnd grandson, George Gates, Jr., J. D. Patrick, Ashland, Mr. nnd Mrs. Pete Barno burg, J. If. Cooley, one of our big lumber nnd timber men, as well as orchnrdist; Jamoa Jackson, Butte Falls; Oris Cambs. Miss Mildred Nye, Miss Ellzageth Welch. Mrs. E. A. Wclck, Mrs. W. W. Howard. Dr. W. W. Howard of Medford: Mr. E. J. Phillips of Jacksonville, Beatrice Dunnelte and Fred Sherman, Gold, Hill. Dr. W. 11. Kvorhnnl, real estato dculer and J. 1). Bell, tho pro prietor ot tho Nush hotel, Medford. Sunday nllit wo were favored with a visit by a part of ono of the two units of the Christian workers of Medford, ot nl. They were -Mrs. Effa Taylor, Mrs. L. A. Crane, E. E. Cioso and Dr. Bert R. Elliott of Medford. They came unannounced, us through a tnisunderstandlnff by the members, or perhaps a llttlo carelessnens on the part of Dr. Lawrence and Ed K. Ooro. for ono depended on tho other to send out word, so neither of them attended to It, and tho result was tho first thlnu wo knew of the meeting was hearing tho church bell rinirinK, but thero was sotno twenty or more catiio out nndj wo had snuio fino singing, accompanying tho organ. And then tho services wero opened by Dr. Elliott and ho then called on Mrs. Taylor and sho cave us a very interesting talk on tho subjoct of the great work w have before us as Christians and then Mrs. Crnne gave us a short, but Inspiring address on "Christian Life," but Mr. Ooro really was tho principal . speaker of the evening, commenting on tho wonder ful plan ot Bulvatlon and how God brings about and perfects his plans for tho betterment ot his children. Tho arrangement was mado that night for them, or perhaps some others with them to como out with them, on Sunday, April 28. 8 p. in.,! to hold services hero ugaln. Don't forget the date nnd let us seo to It that wo have a full house. j Some ot tho enterprising citizens of this community have gotten out leaflets, setting forth some of tho advantages to be derived from the uso of tho water that wo expect to be spreading oyer the thousuiuls of acres of land" that have been con sidered almost useless, nnd It has been demonstrated, on a small scalo tho productivity of tho same class of Innd. I liavo in my mind now a small tract of about twenty or more acres t(mt was bought, several yenrs ago by a "tenderfoot" nnd cost twenty-five dollars an acre that was not con sidered worth fencing by tho origi nal owners, that tho last tico It changed hands, brought throe hun dred dollars an acre and now cannot bo bought for five hundred dollars an acre with water, but without water would not bring tho original cost, tventy-flvo( but why spend time writing about what can bo derived from the uso of water? And there is some of tho land under tho Kaglc I'oint-Butto Falls canal that can bo bought very reasonable now, but after the water is on tho land tho scalo will be turned, and If I live five yenrs longer and am still writ ing tho Eaglets, I expect to bo tell ing about that same land selling for fnbulous prices arid producing n hundred fold. Send to tho president of the, Eaglo Point Canal company, Fred Pettygreyr, and get the leaflets. The Riverside Recreation club will meet with Mrs. Geo. 11. Aldon of Med ford on Thursday afternoon of May 2d. All members are requested to be pres ent. Mrs. Roso Gay and children are touring in California. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. P.

ARMORY SERVICE STATION Pacific Highway at Jackson Street Armstrong H. A. HINSHAW SEES E i! LOCAL FRUIT CROP "Prospects of bumper crops In Ore gon and along the res't of the Pacific coast as well are bright and there Is every Indication that the western rail roads will be callod uiKin to handle a record breaking amount of traffic this summer nnd fall, according to II. A. Hlnshaw, assistant frolght traffic niunnger of the Southern Pacific com pany, who Is in Portland today from San Francisco, llinsliaw wus former ly general freight agent for the com puny with offices at Portmnd. "The, pear shipments from tho Rogue, Unipqua nud Willamette val leys should be 15 per cent heavier this year and there should be a 25 per cent increase in tho upplo shipments," said Hlnshaw. "The pruno crop nlso should bo much heavier than last year. The buds have set well and the prune districts nro almost out ot dan ger of frost. The recent rains, besides doing much general good In southern Oregon, have boon beneficial In hold ing off the frosts. Traffic Holds Up "I expect to see nt lonat 1500 cars of pears and about 900 curs of apples move from tho Rogue river district alone. The broccoli shipments from Roseburg have boon heavy this year, 244 cars being tho total for tho season, over double tho shipinonts ot last year. "Lumber shipments in Oregon have been heavier than over beforo. In fact total freight trufric In Oregon, which was very heavy last fall, has kopt up Into tho first three months of 1023 exceeding that of corresponding months of previous years. "The recent rains over the Pacific coast, especially in California, have assured good crops and unusually heavy crop movement Is anticipated for the country as a wliolo. Car Shortage Feared "The Southern Pucific has spent millions ot dollars since Inst season for new freight cars, particularly re frigerators, and for modurn locomo tives of the most powerful type. But with unprecedented traffic, chiefly In products that run sharply Into peak shipments, in prospect, it Is evident that only the closest cooperation of shippers with the railroads can avert a car shortage, and that of course would mean a loss to both. The com pany, therefore, is urging western shippers to load freight cars promptly nnd to capacity. The company . Is working successfully to make cars move more miles per day nnd to re duce the number of cars and locomo tives In need of repair to a minimum. In addition to the compnuy'B efforts the shippers can materially benefit themselves in obtaining an increased car supply by loading and unloading cars without dolay and by heavy load ing."
