The Tidings editor acknowledges
the receipt of fine box of Flynn
| cherries from S. S. Wilcox. There
are few cherries of this variety in

by Mr.. Flynn of Portland. 1t is an
immense black cherry, meaty like
the Queen Ann, as black as the Black
Republican and as luscious as the
nectar of the gods.

be necessary to build fish ladders on
the city dams at the water intakes
That would have cost the city a
thousand dollars or more, and as
Ashland creek at that point does not
maintain migratory fish the demand
was thought unjust by those most ia
miliar with the situation. Mr. Harry
Hosler has taken much interest in
fish and game matters in the pats
and stands well with the department
HIS was asked to take the matter ur
and see what could be done. He en-
tered into correspondence with the
officials and now has letter in
which it is agreed that no further
action will be taken in the matter un-
til the commission is more thorough.

that Ashland will be saved the need
