They said to the farmer and small
land holder: Tell us what you want
that will help things along and we
will try and help you get it, for we
realize that the prosperity of our
city depends on the prosperity of the
man that tills the soil" | believe
the same thing holds good here.
suppose Mr.. Briggs and the other
nine that voted to give our beautiful
normal buildings and grounds away
thought they were voicing the seutf-
ment of the people of Ashland and
vicinity, but l am afraid they went
right contrary to what the people
would have had them do. II they
had consulted the people they might
nave saved themselves quite a bit of
criticism. Most of the people think
they should be held for a normal
school and if We pull together it can
be done. And right here / want to,
say that those who voted to give if
away are knocking tie town and
county as hard as anyone when they
go around saying we can't get a nor
NAL school. There are people here
from almost every state in the Union.
and when their friends write them
wanting to know what kind or a
place Ashland is, the climate. what
can we grow on our soil, and, last
but not least, how are the markets
for the same, now we can boost the
town, climate and the amount and
kinds of stuff we can grow, but when
1T comes to the market, we have to
admit that we haven't any only for
limited amount of the choicest
products. Now, if we had some way
OF saving our products until we could
get them to the market, then we
could write: I'VE can grow any-
thing in any amount, have a good
market and are all prospering. Come
out and join us and live in place
where it is worth while" The peo-
pie then would do the advertising
and it would do more good and our
city and country would build up more
in one year than it will under the
present conditions in five, and If
would save Mr. Briggs that valuable
time and dollar that he claims they
are giving. Mr.. Briggs is mistaken
in what he has heard. Instead of if
being knocking, it has been gentle
raps. But if things don't change for
the better he is label to hear in the.

HOW JACKSONCO.VOTED
Statistical Genius of MedfOrd Sun
Analyses the Vote at Recent Elec-
ton With Curious Results.

Medford Sun: An analysis of the
votes on president, senator, county
judge, state Representatives and sher-
iff show some curious political fea-
lures. n 'f
Roosevelt, instead of running
strongest in the hills and country
precincts, as would be expected, was
weakest there and strongest in Ash
land. He carried every precinct in
the Granite City but one, but in the
country he ran 700 votes behind
Wilson. He ran close to Wilson in
Medford.
Lane ran well ahead of Bourne in
Ashland, but in the country and
Medford Bourne was very strong.
Selling and Taft were nearly tied for
the BOBBY prize, Taft securing 713
and Selling 696 in the total vote.
Tou Velle ran 6 to 1 against Dunn
in Medford and Dunn ran 8 to
against Tou Velle in Ashland In the
country districts outside of Ashland
and Medford it was more of an even
thing, Dunn polling 1922 to Tou
Velle's 9S3. In the south of the
county Dunn ran very strong, par
ticularly in his home precinct of
Barren, while in the north it was
about an even break.
Barkdull and De Almond ran
ahead of Carkin and Westerlund in
Medford with 764 and 729 votes, re-
spectively, but Ashland nearly coun-
terbalanced this and in the country
Westerlund made his strongest run
with 1882 with Carkin a close sec
ond with 1,S45. Nose was third in
the country with 1882 and De Ar
mond fourth with 1,706.
Singler made one of the strongest
campaigns of all the candidates. He
ran behind in Jacksonville, but led
by nearly 400 in Medford, 225 in
Ashland and outside of these two
cities increased his lead by 24O.

]. D, Simons, who resides at 363
Iowa street, called at the Tidings Of
flee this afternoon with box of
strawberries and raspberries, both
fruits being second crop, raised on
Mr.. Simons' ranch on Ashland street.
With the fruit was strawberry stalk
that contained a ripe berry, green
ber les of various sizes, blossoms and
bud. Second crop fruit is not an
extra rarity in Ashland, but stalk
with blossoms and fruit plucked in
November is indeed a rarity. Mr..
Simons states that they frequently
have Strawberries and raspberries

BILE on Thanksgiving day.

A. E. COX FUNERAL
Well-KnOwn Railroad Man Laid to
Rest i'm Ashland Cemetery Sat
urday Afternoon.

The funeral of the late A. E. Cox
took place Saturday afternoon, No
vember 8, followed by interment at
Ashland cemetery. There were
brief services at the residence on
Vista street, after which the remains
were carried to the Elks Temple,
where the beautiful services of the
order we're given, Rev. Chisholm Of
ficiating as clergyman. At the grave
the burial rites of the order were per-
formed.
There were many beautiful floral
offerings, including several from Red
Bluff.
Later reports show that the first
story which reached this city regard
ing the time of his death was slightly
erroneous. Instead of being stricken
on the train it was just after he
reached his boarding house. He fell
from the porch when the attack came
and was found by a passerby who
heard him groaning. He lived about
two hours after being stricken, but
never regained consciousness.
Allen Ellsworth Cox was born July
5, 1868, at Mahomet, ILL.,, where he
resided until the age of years. His
parents then moved to Missouri and
lived two years, when they again
moved to Altoona, Kan, where he
spent his boyhood days.
At the age of 20 or 21 he went to
Fort Scott, Kan, and took a special
course at normal school there, after
which he was employed in the freight
house as shipping clerk. After some
few months he started on the rail-
road career as switchman in the yard
of the Fort Scott & Memphis road.
He also worked on the same road as
locomotive fireman He spent about
three years in Kansas City, Mo-, as
stationary fireman, after which he
worked for the Missouri Pacific road
out of Nevada, Mo-, and Fort Scott,
Kan. He was married to Sarah E.
Kendall, May 19, 1896, at Fort Scott,
Kan, where they resided about three
months, then moved to Kansas City,
Mo-, where they resided until Febru-
ary. 1899, when Mr. Cox started west,
staying in Denver, Colo, about four
months, thence to Ashland, where
they have since made their home.
Mr.. Cox worked in the roundhouse
from September, 1899, to May, when
he went into the freight service and
worked until receiving an injury
which necessitated his being on a
passenger train. Nggts =

TURBINE ENGINE is GIANT.
Engine i'm louisville Waterworks
Plant Lifts 10000, 900 Gals. Daily.

The most powerful engine for it's
size in the south has just been in
stalled in the municipal waterworks
plant in Louisville, Ky. This steam
engine, which is only six feet in di-
ameter and eight feet high, produces
1900 horse power and has replaced
the old reciprocating engines, which
practically filled power house of
81 by AZ feet, and develops twice as
much power. The turbine is also
more economical to run as it con-
sumes less fuel per horse power and
does not require so much attention
and costly repairs. Running at full
speed, the turbine will pump nearly
three times as much water as its pre-
decessors.
At speed of 1,500 revolutions per
minute the turbine engine will pump
100000 gallons of water every "a
hours, raising the water from the
river level to the city reservoir To-
Gated on Crescent hill. This is equiv
alent to raising $4,000 tons 175 feet
high in the same space of time Both
the old pumps working together
could not pump more than l2,000;-
600 gallons in the same length OF
time.

AN OUTSIDERS VIEW
G. ID. Brown Gives a Rancher's
Opinion of the Work of the
Commercial Club.

Editor Tidings: l read with some
interest an article in the Ashland
Record of October 8, entitled Boost
ers and Knockers" as the president
of the Commercial Club, Mr.. Briggs,
sees it, and where he sets, forth what
wonderful things the Commercial
Club has done for our city, toward
beautifying and building it up. We
thank our almighty God that he has
allowed us to cast our lot in such
beautiful place as Ashland and sur
rounding country. Take it all the
year around, for climate, health,
scenery and for productiveness of the
soil it can't be excelled in the United
States, and we are thankful for such
men as Mr.. Briggs, representing the
Commercial Club, if it has been
through their efforts that we have
such beautiful parks and secured for
us our public buildings, but | am
afraid Mr.. Briggs is looking at one
side of the issue. These things are
all nice to look at and help build up
our city to certain extent, but they
are not the main thing that keeps
the wolf from the door. We want
to go on record as wanting to see,
and we believe the time is not far
distant when we shall see, all of this
land settled on in small tracts and
ten times the people here that are
now, but l don't think our CONNER
cial Club is working with that end in
view now by any means. Now what
the majority of the people would like
to see is Mr.. Briggs get his little
bunch interested in getting up can
neries, dryers and a market for all
the poultry we can raise. Now, when
they get people settled on these five
and ten acre tracts they have got to
turn their attention to fruit, berries,
gardening and poultry, which they
Soh oASO any dLhOulI Ol, puI WhdI
good is it if they can't sell it? All
but the poultry is perishable and
can't be shipped unless canned or
dried. One cannery or drier can't
take care of the products that are
grown. 1t needs two or three of
them. Think of the stuff that could
be and would be grown if it was
taken care of so that it could be
marketed. Start in the spring with
gooseberries, rhubarb, strawberries
raspberries, blackberries, beans,
corn, tomatoes, and then all of the
larger fruits that so much of go to
waste that could be taken care of.
Look what it would mean to the
small holder. Why doesn't Mr..
Briggs get in touch with the people
| that the prosperity of the country de-
pends on and see what they want.
Back in North Dakota, where l lived,
the Commercial Club set day when
the farmers business was a little
slack and invited them to the city for
an all days meeting, went to the
trouble to give them big dinner (of
course we don't expect the dinner
! unless Mr.. Briggs sees fit to give it)

who held the Championship for almost
ten years, was helpless. The pictures

their game with the Bronx United.
The Sheffields, however, were not so
fortunate. They will have to travel to
Brooklyn, and will have a hard nut to
crack when they play the Critchleys.
This latter team won the champion
ship of the New York State Amateur
League last year, and so far are the
only team that defeated the Newarks
this season. II is, therefore, apparent
that the Sheffield lads will have to
play at tiptop form to emerge VIC
