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

mittee to have all Its members pres

ASHLAND, April 23. 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.

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.

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." Portland Journal.
