SHIPS In CARLOAD LOTS FOR LECTURE COURSE
Ashland Preserving Co. Sends Car
load of Bordeaux Mixture to
Grants Pass Concern.

The chemical department of the
Ashland Preserving Co. formerly
the Hygienol Chemical Coz does
business on much larger scale than
most Ashland people imagine. They
have shipped a carload of bordeaux
mixture to a Grants Pass firm. When
one stops to think that each gallon
of the mixture as shipped is to be
mixed with 49 gallons of water be-
fore using, one begins to realize the
magnitude of the spraying of fruit
trees in the Rogue River valley.
Fifty carloads of bordeaux spray
alone is used in the territory around
Grants Pass.

HALLOWEEN FRANKS
Youngsters Have Lots of Fun But DO
Little Damage to Property on
That Night.

There was the usual amount of
carrying on on Halloween, but it was
in the main harmless. The fire alarm
was turned in no less than three
times during the night, but Chief
Oien and several assistants were on
the alert the fact that they were false
alarms was at once known and the
fire trucks were not taken out. The
chief knows who is responsible for
these pranks and will act according
ly.
Outside of this there was little
done except innocent fun, largely be-
cause two police on bicycles kept the
streets hot, and Chief Oien reports
that one youngster came to him in
the early morning hours and plead
to be let go home to milk his COW
The officers had kept them under
cover so close that he had not even
dared try to go home.

Meeting of Mems Equal Suffrage
Club at Memorial Hall.

Friday evening the Mems Equal
Suffrage Club held a Boston Tea
Party" at Memorial hall. The tea"
was conspicuous by its absence. In
other words, C. e. Whistler of Med
ford, the reputed president of the
Southern District Anti-Suffrage
Clubs, failed to follow up his chal-
lenge to the Equal Suffrage Clubs of
Ashland. He was in town late the
day before, arranging preliminaries,
and while here incidentally remarked
he was afraid the equal suffrage
cause would win in Oregon.
Too late TO give puDnc notice,
telephone message conveyed MI.
Whisler's regrets that he could not
be present as he was unavoidably de-
tanned
However, c. B. Watson president
of the Mems Equal Suffrage Club,
concluded not to wholly disappoint
the immense audience. So the speak
ers on the affirmative followed one
another as previously arranged At
the end of each round direct chal-
lenge was given for any anti-suffrag-
ist to take the place of Mr.. Whistler,
but none responded.
Professor St. John was the first
speaker. He gave many facts for
suffrage which showed he had stud
led the subject well, and was heartily
applauded. He made very excel
lent impression indeed
Attorney Burns followed. The
clear-cut, logical arguments put up
showed that Mr.. Burns is speaker
of ability and we predict a bright
future for him in Oregon
Editor Greer made the closing
speech.
The meeting was success in every
way. DR.. Matte B. Shaw, president
of the Woman's Equal Suffrage Club,
announced that this was the closing
number of the work of her club
which had prepared the program
Jointly with the other club. AS a |
president she has made an unquali- !
fled success.

TO SELECT SUCCESSOR
Republican National Committee to
Meet Nov. IL TO Fill Place of
Late James s. Sherman.

New York, Oct 31.-A meeting of
the republican committee has been
called for November 12, in Chicago,
to select successor to Sherman for
the vice-presidential candidacy.
The announcement was made by
Chairman Hilles in the following
statement:
The national convention, which
met in Chicago in June, delegated to
the national committee power to fill
vacancies on the national ticket. The
death of Mr.. Sherman, candidate OF
the republican party for vice-presi-
dent at the coming election, makes it
incumbent upon the national commit
tee to nominate a candidate in his
place. The nomination, however,
cannot possibly be made prior to the
election next Tuesday, Such a nomi-
nation can properly be made only af-
ter due and reasonable notice to all
the members of the committee. Such
notice cannot be given in less than
six days.
1T is manifestly impossible to
hold such meeting prior to the cleo
ton. Meantime no difficulty or in
convenience arises to the voters at
the election next Tuesday, because
the votes to be cast then are for
electors and not for candidates for
either president or vice-presdent
and the death of Mr.. Sherman there
fore does not affect the validity OF
the election of the electors.
Il have called a meeting of the
national committee to meet upon the
18th day of November in the city of
Chicago, at the Auditorium Hotel,
at IL o'clock noon, to select sue
cessor to the late James S. Sherman,
as candidate of the republican party
for vice-president of the United
States"

THEY ARE ONLY CLAIMS
According to Evening Telegram, Taft
Managers Are Not Figuring
just Claiming.

The following is from the news
columns of the Evening Telegram,
one of the staunchest Taft papers in
Oregon.
While other campaign managers
are waiting for more time and re-
ports before making forecasts, Coun-
ty Chairman Wright and Secretary
Day of the republican committee are
already figuring on the outcome.
There estimates show that there is
nothing to it but Taft.
There will be 100000 votes cast
in Oregon" said Day, ''and of these
Roosevelt will receive $4,000. Will
son will have $4,000, and Taft will
receive 10000"
What becomes of the prohibition
ist and socialist vote?" asked a skep-
tic. you say there will be 140, 900
votes cast and you. divide them
among only three candidates"
Don't be so technical" objected
Day. Il just want to show that Taft
is going to carry Oregon. Now, here
in Multnomah county there will be
10000 votes cast-well, say $4,000.
OF this amount Taft will get 1850.
Let's see, that leaves 24,5O0 to be
divided between Wilson and Roose-
welt. Put down 10000 for Roose-
welt and 14,500 for WILSON,
Don't overlook" chimed Chair
man Wright, that in the last two
years there has been an increase in
the registration in this county
amounting to 10000. We-that is,
Taft-will receive 10000 of this
10000"
How do you figure it out?" was
asked
Figure it out?' demanded the
chairman Indignantly. 1--WE don't
we just claim it,

MUCH INTERFERENCE.
Chamberlain and West Using the
Power of Their Offices to Build
Democratic Machine i'm Jack
son County.

The people of southern Oregon
have always been considered capable
of managing their own affairs; in
fact, it has been generally conceded
that the average of intelligence is
higher here than in the northern sec
tion of the state, but in the campaign
just ending our friend Putnam has
found it necessary to appeal to out
siders for advice and instructions as
how we shall cast our votes in con-
tests involving offices of local impor-
tance only. Putnam pulls the string
on Senator Chamberlain and he
promptly responds with an endorse
ment of the candidacy of Tou Velle
for county judge. The senator has
only slight acquaintance with either
of the contestants, Tou Velle or
Dunn, knows nothing of the qualifi-
cations of either for this office, but
that is a matter of no Importance.
The senator is democracy's god in
this neck of the woods and his en-
dorsement will be expected to stam-
pede the votes from Dunn to Tou
Velle.
Again, our reform governor, lam
Holier-Than-Ihou West, steps for
ward with words of commentator
and endorsement of Mr.. Kelley, can
didate for district attorney. A re-
form governor endorsing Kelly! Oh,
ye gods! What pill for the church
people, the prohibitionists and the
law-abiding citizens of this county to
swallow. We believe that the action
of Senator Chamberlain and Cover
nor West in attempting to influence
voters to support Tou Velle and
Kelly will be resented and regarded
as an impertient and uncalled for
interference in a contest that con-
Germs locally only. The fact that
Putnam has felt it necessary to ap-
peal to these dignataries for letters
of endorsement is evidence that he
considers the Kelly-Tou Velle con-
tests as in desperate straits.
The voters are intelligent and
Independent enough to decide
for themselves in these con-
tests without outside interference or
advice. George w. Dunn will be
elected county judge and H. K. Han
ma will be chosen as district attor-
ney because of their excellent qualifi-
cations for these positions, because
the voter sand taxpayers of this coun-
ty know that these gentlemen will
discharge the duties of their respec-
tive offices honestly, economically
and efficiently
And now Senator Chamberlain and
Governor West, in the language of
the late Governor Pennoyer, may we
be allowed to suggest that you mind
your own business and we will attend
to ours?

PIONEER EDITOR HERE
Capt. o. G. Applegate, Second Editor
of the Tidings, Pays Office
Pleasant Call.

The Tidings acknowledges a pleas
ant call from Captain o. c. Apple
gate of Klamath Falls, veteran of
the Modoc war and long agent and
superintendent of the klamath agen-
cy and Indian training schools on the
klamath reservation. Although al
ways a fore ,ful figure in the prog
ress of southern and southeastern
Oregon, of course Captain Apple
gates main distinction lies in the
fact that he was editor of the Ash
land Tidings in the early days of it's
career, having succeeded its founder,
the lamented James M. Sutton, a year
after the paper was founded.
Captain Applegate was in attend
ance at the funeral of Mrs. ]. M. Nc
Call, as also were his sisters, Mrs
Colonel H. H. Sargent and Mrs. NJ. L.
Afford of Medford, the first wife of
Captain ]. M. Mccall and the moth
er of his children, John A. Mccall

Miss Theresa r. Applegate, a daugh-
ter of Hon. Lindsay Applegate, the
well-known pioneer, whose home was

Jesse, also attended Mrs. McCalls
funeral. Mrs. Applegate accompa-
MED the captain from Klamath Falls.

Washington, Oct. 31.-lf the pro-
jected purchase by Germany of a
coaling station in the Straits of Ma
gellan should take form, it would
devolve upon the American state de-
partment to direct immediate atten-
tion of Germany and Chile to the
declaration contained in the Lodge
resolution adopted at the last session
of the senate against the acquire
ment of any governmental or semi
governmental control of coaling sta
tions or other properties of like char
acter on the Western Hemisphere by
any European nation.
In view of the attitude of the Chill
can government when efforts were
made by other nations, even includ-
ing the United States, to secure
leases of coaling stations, it is be-
lieved here to be quite improbable
that she would consent to part with
any of these islands to Germany or
any other country.
