LACK OF HITCHING PLACES.
Apparent Need of More AccommOda
tiOns for Farmers.

There seems to be a lack of good
places in Ashland where ranchers
may hitch their horses when trans
acting business in the city. 1t is Of
ten not convenient for a farmer to
unhitch his team and place it in a
feed stable, when he is not going to
be in town long, and it is sometimes
hard to find a convenient place to
hitch. The Tidings pencil-pusher has
frequently noticed teams hitched so
thickly at the few places available,
principally near the Elks building and
on Mill street, that the different
teams could reach each other and
were fighting This is not only liable
to cause injury to the animals, but is
almost sure to spoil their temper.
Were it possible to provide safe and
large place for hitching in conven-
lent position, not only the ranchers
but their horses would rise up and
call the city blessed.

swered to roll call. Absent, Irwin
and Sanderson.
The minutes of special meetings of
Wednesday afternoon, September 18,
and of Tuesday evening, September
"a, were read and on motion ap-
proved.
The first order of business taken
up was that of the hearing of the re-
ports of city officials, that of Street

that piece of road to donate the sum
of $25, half to be paid now and half
in one year, and that Mr.. Hicks hajd

reported that he had installed three
new Eclipse nydrants, one at the cor
ner of B street and First avenue,
one at the corner of B street and
Second avenue, and one at the corner
of Helman and Mechanic streets, as
the old hydrants would not stand the
pressure at those points. The old
hydrants had been put in on Beach
street and other points where there
was heretofore no fire protection
and where the pressure. was not so
great The total expenditures for
the month of September were: La
Dor $20S.25, material $3.S5, total

CHIVALRY is NOT DEAD.
Young Sir Walter Raleigh Comes to
Assistance of Distressed Maid.

She was a beautiful maiden, with
poise most striking, dainty locks OF
brown peeping from beneath the
brim of a pretty summer hat, the
color of perfect health and happiness
in her cheeks and a smile most be-
coming on her face, raves the Oro-
Vile Mercury.
She stood at the First National
Bank corner, apparently in medita-
ton. Speaking in the parlance, she
certainly was queen"
The sprinkling wagon had just
passed. and left small river flowing
over the crossing on Bird street. The
driver looked at the maid and winked
and the maid frowned. Then she
turned her eyes downward and sur
veyed pretty pair of pedal eXtremi-
ties encased in snow white shoes.
She started forward but halted
abruptly. She realized to cross that
path of wet mud would mean the
ruination of her dainty footgear.
In this mood of meditation a young
story of Sir Walter Raleigh. 1t was
long ago that Sir Walter took off his
coat and threw it on the ground so
that Elizabeth, queen of England
would not be compelled to tread in
the mud.
And this modern Sir Walter, a son
of Oroville, took off his coat, as Sir
Walter did, placed it in the wettest
place on the crossing, gently took the
maiden's hand and blithesomely es-
corted her to the other side.

Three New Passenger Engines Al
ready Gone North for Service Be
tween ROseburg and Portland
Have Both Speed and Power.

The Southern Pacific railroad CON-
pany is now receiving a series of pas
senger locomotives from the Baldwin
Locomotive Works which are attract
ing much attention from railroad
men,
The new engines are of what is
known as the Pacific" type and are
certainly monsters. Three have al
ready passed through Ashland en-
route north. 1t is reported among
railroad men that the new engines
will be used to handle traffic between
Roseburg and Portland. They have
77-inch drivers, six in number, with
four truck wheels in front and pair
of large trailers behind. According
to information given to the Tidings
representative by A. Ballet, acting
foreman at the roundhouse, these
monster engines have a weight OF
141,000 pounds on the drivers. The
tender has a capacity of 1000 gal
Ions of water and 5000 gallons OF
crude oil for fuel, and weighs $4,000
light and 141, 900 when full of oil
and water. They will be able to cas-
lily haul an ordinary train on a level
track at speed of a mile a minute
or more. An attempt to gain an idea
of their size may be aided by the
statement that each engine weighs
141 tons, probably fully as much as
one of the early engines would pull
The engines came up from the south
and laid over a day for adjustment
The No. 2447 arrived Tuesday even

evening, pulling the second section

ter OF the possibility of the city need
ing to make a temporary loan of
$4,000. He stated that it was possi-
bic that there would money come
from taxes soon enough to meet the
bonds due October /, as they were
frequently late in being sent in for
redemption. The matter was re-
ferred TO the finance committee with
instructions to make arrangements
so that the money could be secured
if needed
Mr.. Hurt also reported that there
were several thousand dollars worth
OF lelns which the city held against
property for taxes and special assess
ments which would need attention
this fall if they had not been paid
This brought out considerable dis
cussion as to the new tax law,
Councilman Butler holding that for
a certain length of time anyone
could bid in the property for the
amount against it, and that after
wards 1t would be put up at public
auction and sold to the highest bid
der regardless of whether or not it
brought the amount against it. Coun-
Gilman SandersOn stated that he had
been looking up the matter with a
view to picking up some property in
an adjacent county and that there
was no public sale under the new
law; that it had to be bought in for
the full amount at private sale and
that the owner had three years to
redeem by paying 15 per cent inter
est upon the amount paid by the pur-
chaser. No action was taken by the
council regarding the city's interests
in the matter, although Mayor Neil
expressed the belief that the city
would have to take over some of the
property.

| trician Butterfield regarding the in

Saturday afternoon, the big event not
only of the campaign, but in the his
tory of the club. DR.. Shaw is not
only the president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, and therefore the leader of the
movement, but she is one of the
worlds leading speakers of either sex
and woman of rare ability Some
stories told of her nerve in going
among the depraved will equal any
thing in the annals of heroism, and
she will be well worth hearing aside
from the subject she presents. The
meeting is free and all are earnestly
requested to be present.

SHIPPED STUFF

KLAMATH MEN SEND MORT
GAGGED PROPERTY TO CANADA.
WERE UNDER ASSUMED NAMES
Eight Horses and Two Wagons
Shipped to Vancouver, B. c.,
Which Were MOrtgaged to Klam-

The klamath Northwestern of Oc-
tober l says
wv r. Shive returned last night
from Ashland, where he ascertained
that Brier & Anderson, under as
sumed names, had shipped their out
fit including eight horses and two
wagons, to Vancouver, B. C. The
shipment was made September 21.
"A message has been sent to the
British Columbia officers to arrest
the two men. =. 1t is probable that
Sheriff Barnes will start north to-
morrow morning, He will be accom-
panied by C. F. Stone, attorney for
the bank, who will attempt to cause
the property to be brought back to
this country.
"A. d. Brier and George Anderson,
well known here under the firm
name of Brier q Anderson, are fugi-
tives from justice. A complaint
charging them with a felony was is
sued this morning, and the sheriff
has started on a search for the two
men.
The complaint against the men
was sworn to by an officer of the
amer lCdH bdHh ~ trust company,
and charges the men with taking
mortgaged property out of the coun-
try The bank held a mortgage for
$4,000 against horses and other
property of Brier & Anderson, and it
is charged that they have left the
country, taking with them the mort
gagged property. For some time it
has been reported that the affairs OF
the firm had become tangled, but it
was not suspected until a few days
ago that the men would attempt to
escape their creditors
Information has been received
here that both men were seen in Ash
land few days ago. They left this
city more than week ago, with the
avowed intention of going to Keno
to work on wood contract. 1t is
| claimed that they did not stay in
Keno long, but proceeded on across
the mountains
