do SHOPPING EARLY
Holiday Shoppers Advised to Do
Their Shopping Early in Day
and Week.

The Tidings wishes to remind the
people of Ashland that it is very poor
policy to delay Christmas shopping
until the very last minute. Then the
stocks of the various stores are low,
goods are picked over and have been
handled, clerks are worn out and apt
to be nervous if not inattentive.
Those who wish the best service
for themselves and who want to make
it as easy as possible for others will
try to arrange to do their buying be-
tween 8 and 11:3O in the morning
and will also do it on other days
than Saturdays, leaving these days
for the farmers who come to town
largely on that day.
Remember that the clerk is a sis
ter or a brother and strive to make
the busy season as easy as possible
for them.

A. M. BEAVER
AGAINST BONDS
REAL ESTATE MAN GIVES REA.
SON FOR OPPOSING ISSUE.
We HAVE BONDS ENOUGH NOW
Present Plan Success, But Would
Not Risk Impairing Water Plant
: to Improve City Electric Light
Plant.

Having read with care what both
Mr.. Frohbach and Councilman Cum
ningham have to say on the subject,
l am moved to state my position on
the question, as it is to be voted on
at the coming election.
l am against voting more bonds
for the auxiliary lighting plant at
this time, for at least two good
reasons:
First, because the town is heavily
bonded now, every city bond means
a mortgage on our property, and the
experiment, for that is what believe
it to be, is too expensive for us to in
dulge in at this time. l am informed
that the $4,000 would not be suf-
ficient to build and complete the aux
iliary plant, and we would soon be
called upon for another bond issue to
complete what we had begun
Second, l am not in favor of doing
anything that will further impair the
city's water service, and | have been
informed by good authority that the
proposition is to take water out of
the present main near the lower in
take for power to operate the pro-
posed new plant. Our water is the
city's greatest asset and must be
oruordad y-itI, cora Our nracap+ a1ac
trio lighting plant may not be pay
ing, and is not, according to Mr..
Frohbach figures, but it must be re-
garded as a success because it has
accomplished the end for which it
was constructed, namely, lowering
the rates of electric lighting service,
thereby causing a great saving to the
consumers.
The light plant cannot be sold by
the mayor and council unless the
people at some future election should
vote and give them power to sell.
When that time comes, if it ever does
come, then it will be up to the people
to decide the question, and l have
no fear but that they will decide
right.
We cannot buy more water, but we
CAN buy all the electric juice we
need at reduced rates.
Therefore, l say vote NO on the
$4,000 bonds.

Mr.. Werth's Statement.

Gentlemen: In answer to your
question as to where | stand on the
electric light plant, | will state that
favor unequivocally the city owner
ship of the plant, but for my own
satisfaction as well as all the tax
payers would like thorough exam
ination of the light plant and city
water before election.
2. In regard to the fire depart
ment, will state that | have always
had the highest regard for our volun-
teer firemen and believe that any as
sistance we can give them within
reasonable limits, should be given.
3. For a home and school town,
such as Ashland is, am in favor of
a clean town.
4. | am in favor of having the
city's books kept in the best shape
possible and have the books open to
the public, | believe in managing
the city's finances in a businesslike
and economical manner.
Yours truly,
LOUIS l.. WERTH.

STATEMENT
CITY WATER SUPERINTENDENT
GIVES OPINION.
WOULD HELP The WATER SYSTEM
City Water Superintendent States
That There VIII be Benefit Rather
Than Injure Water Takers On the
Upper Levels.

To the Legal Voters and Taxpayers
OF the City of Ashland, Ore:
|, the superintendent of the water
works of Ashland, will make my
statement as to what | know about
the contemplated change of the pipe
line of the upper system. | have
given this a thorough investigation
since the question came up about vot-
ing the bonds for enlarging the water
main to carry this extra supply Of
water to run the auxiliary plant. |
find that the change to be made in
the water pipes will be of a great
nelp to the waterwolks Many of the
people of Ashland think it will harm
the waterwOrks, whereas instead it
Will be a great benefit to the people
that take water from the high points.
The way the water pipe is situated
now, that is the main that carries the
water from the upper intake to Crow
son hill, the main is not large enough
to carry the supply of water that
the people use during irrigation sea-
son. If the bonds carry, the change
will be made and larger pipe will
be extended to the foot of Crowson
hill, that is, the south side, which
will give more pressure to force the
water over the hill, which will give
1t full pipe to climb the hill on,
therefore it will force more water to
these higher points where there is
now shortage. The water taken out
to supply this new electric light plant
would not reduce the pressure in the
water system. The water that goes
to this plant will not be wasted. 1t
will be turned into the lower intake.
Therefore if the city electric plant
makes this change it will be a great
help to the waterworks, as the water
works would have to make the
change in the pipe line at their own
expense in time.
l nave made this statement to try
and convince the people of Ashland
that enlarging the water main from
the upper intake to the foot of Crow
son hill will not do harm but will be
of great benefit because the outlet
of the proposed new plant will be so
small that there will be no friction
in the main water pipe.
If any mistakes are discovered in
this statement | am willing to try
and correct them.
Respectfully yours,
f. e. ROSECRANS,
Ashland, Ore.

200 ASHLAND WOMEN FOR SALOONS
ASHLANDER OVERHEARD TO STATE IN NEGHBORNC CITY that
Such WAS The CASE FOR COMING ELECTION

The result of the vote in the cities
that have already held municipal
elections since women were enfran
chised shows that the women have
been by no means unit in voting
for no saloons. The indications are
that the liquor interests, who were
more than suspected of having
financed the anti-suffrage campaign
in Oregon, have been making a gum
shoe campaign throughout the state
for the double purpose of discrediting
woman suffrage in Oregon because
of the effects it would have in the
battle in other states and for the pur-
pose of taking advantage of the sup
posed security of temperance under
equal suffrage to put one over" on
the temperance people.
An Ashland commercial traveller,
who happened to be waiting for a
train in neighboring city one night
last week, overheard a couple of
women, one of whom is an Ashland
resident, talking of the fact that sa-
looms had been recently opened in
the city in which they were at that
time. The other woman expressed
the hope that Ashland would become
wet town. She was informed by
the Ashland woman, so the travelling
man reported to one of Ashland S
leading clergymen, that there were

pledged in secret to vote for saloons
in Ashland at the coming election.
The past history of liquor fights
In Ashland and elsewhere lends color
OF probability to the report, even
were it mere rumor, instead of be-
ing authenticated by the word OF
men whose reputation is unimpeach-
able.
1t is therefore up to the temper
ance people of Ashland to see that
every woman voter in the city who is
opposed to the saloons is made to
realize the necessity of getting to the
polls herself as we'll as seeing that
the male voters of the city do their
duty Should Ashland go wet this
year the women will get the blame
or credit of it. If they do not want
this it is up to them not only to agi-
tate, but to organize. GET OUT
THE TEMPERANCE VOTE. Trust
in the Lord, but keep your powder
dry. The sentiment of Ashland is
for no saloons, but if the woman who
are influenced by the men who want
saloons vote, and the women who do
not want saloons stay at home, then
the city will very probably go wet.
There is no need of extended argu-
ments for or against the saloons.
The time for that is past What the
temperance people must do is to get
busy. GET OUT THE VOTE.
