Ashland is essentially a home town
and as such a policy is wise which
may not seem wise in Meiford, which
aims at success as a commercial cen
ter regardless of the effect upon the
home.
A comparison of the number of ar
rests in the two cities, however,
might throw some additional light
upon the correctness of Mr.. Fishers
statements. What the Tidings does
object to, is the attitude of certain
Medfordites who follow the lead OF
the Mail-Tribune crowd and take
every opportunity to traduce Ash
land Theer ought to be about $50
funerals in the Rogue river valley
of men who traduce any part of the
valley, and Medford could fittingly
furnish about 125 of the subjects

Ellen Beach Yaw Concert.

A delightful musical evening was
enjoyed by the Ashland people at
Elks Temple the evening of October
Ia, when Ellen Beach Yaw, as prima
donna soprano, and Franklin Con-
nor, pianist, gave an unusual pro-
gram.
1t is impossible to give special
mention of each number, but the au-
dience showed marked appreciation
of The Life of the Rose, one of Liza
Lehmann's composition, and two OF
Madame Yaw's own compositions
Cradle Song and Springs Invitation.
Madame Yaw responded to encores
with The Last Rose of Summer and
Annie Laurie, which never grow old
to an American audience.
Madame Yaw is known in Califor-
MIA, her native state, as THE Lark, .
and has rightfully attained this title
from her birdlike voice and remark
ably high range.
If strangers should drop into Gov.
ina, suburb of Los Angeles, they
would soon learn that this is tn,
home of Lark Ellen. Before alight
ing from the trolley the conducto
calls out the station, Lark Ellen, anC
as they go about the town they entel
Lark Ellen street and pass Lark Ell
len school, which tells of the low,
and pride the people of Californi;
have in this rare woman and he
wonderful voice.
In conversing with Madame Yay
one instantly realizes why she, witt
this rare gift and gentle nature, coul
be so loved
Mr.. Common is a talented pianis
and pleased the audience with tn
compositions of Chopin, Lisztz an
Leschetizky.
Both Madame Yaw and Mr.. Con
non expressed their delight at tn
beauty of Ashland, with it's pine-coy
cred mountains, its rare minera
springs and splendid climate, whic
should attract people from all owe
the world.

MISREPRESENTS CITY
Nj. j. Fisher of Medford Makes False
Statements Regarding COndi-
tiOns i'm Two Cities.

Another sample of the baseless
misrepresentation of Ashland by GER
tain Medfordites appears in the fol-
lowing which appeared in the Poca-
tello (Idaho) Tribune recently:
THAT prohibition by local option
imposes a serious handicap on
growing town, and that a dry town
can never hope to equal wet town
in the matter of progress and growth,
is the firm opinion of j. NJ Fisher
of Medford, Ore, prominent dealer
in Rogue river valley lands and city
property in the Webfoot town from
which he halls Mr.. Fisher is in Po-
catello on a mission of business and
is quartered at the Carlyle. In con-
versation with a Tribune man yester-
day he cited abundant proof of the
fact that a wet town has an ad
vantage over dry town.
"A few years ago, he said, I
lived in Ashland, before the prohibit
ory wave hit Oregon. At that time
Medford and Ashland, with identical
resources, were about on an equal
footing. If anything, Ashland had
the better of the argument so far as
rapid growth and progress were con-
cerned. When Ashland went dry
moved to Medford, wet town. To-
day Ashland is country village. It's
growth stopped abruptly when local
option was adopted. On the other
hand, Medford forged to the front.
To-day it is a city of 10000 inhabit-
ants. We have 20 miles of btulithic
and asphalt paved streets. We have
splendid business buildings and
handsome homes. Moral conditions
are excellent. Our saloons are regu-
lated, and drunkenness has been re-
duced to a minimum. Over in Ash
land practically the same amount of
liquor is consumed as before the
town voted dry AS in all other To-
calities, it has been found impossible
to stop the traffic in liquor. Drink
| ing men must have their nip and
| they secure it in some manner, law
fully if possible, unlawfully if neces-
sary. We are proud of Medford,
which is one of the finest cities in
the finest state in the northwest
Mr. Fisher says that Jim Camp
bell. formerly county clerk of Ban.
mock county and still owner of valu-
able real estate in Pocatello, is q
prominent resident of Medford, be-
ing in the real estate business there
and making money. Another Poca.
tello man, C. C. Chilson, formerly
city councilman here, adopted Med
ford as his home for time, but re-
Gently moved to California"
1t took a Tidings representative
nearly an hour to find anyone who
remembered Mr.. Fisher as a resident
of Ashland. Finally one real estat,
man was found in whose memory he
fingered as a petty curbstone broker
whose activities consisted principal!
in butting in and blocking other peo
ple's deals.
AS to the question of local option
that is for Medford and Ashland t,
decide, each for herself, but Do boil
ster up ones opinions it is not neces
sary to misrepresent either town

YoAkuM TO FIGHT.

Albuquerque, N. M, July 7.-Direc-
tor Mark Levy of the New Mexico
Athletic club today received tele-
gram from Tom Naylon, who is in
Kansas City, saying all arrangements
had been completed for the twenty
round battle between Phil knight of
that town and Stanley Yoakum of AL
buquerque. At Knights request the
date was made July 80 instead Of
July 25. The Kansas City boy wishes
to spend at least ten days in .hts al
titude in order to get into the best
possible shape Jack Hanley, mana
ger for Yoakum, today agreed to per-
nit Knight to weigh in at 135 pounds
at 3 O'Clock Yoakum is still in Mani
tou, drinking buttermilk and eating
corn bread on his aunts ranch. That
the Dallas Iron Man will be in the
best shape of his career when he
steps into the ring to face Knight is
a foregone conclusion. The battle
between these two lightweights Will
be scrap to the finnish and no mis-
take. Neither man has ever been
knocked off his feet in his life.
Knight has terrible reputation for
knocking men out in the first round
with a swift punch to the jaw. There
is little fear, however, that "Soakum
Yoakum" will get caught with that
kind of maneuver. Director Levy
Of the N, M. A. G., is considerably
enthused because of the success in
matching Knight and Yoakum and
believes it will be great card for
local fight fans. AS a preliminary
to the main event the Congo Kid will
meet Young Jeffries Of San Francis
co. The wise ones say that the Con
go will meet his match in the boy
from the Golden Gate, who is already
in training for the bout.

INTERCHANGE QUESTION

Washington. July ia question
of general interest and importance to
shippers and carriers throughout the
country is involved in the suit Of the
Illinois Traction system against the
Peoria and Pekin Union railway.
which was given its initial hearing be-
for the interstate commerce COM
mission today. The suit was institut-
ed because the railway company de-
clined to permit the interchange of
traffic, which action. according to the
complaint in the case, has resulted in
an injury to shippers.
