You will remember l told you Ash

annual prevarication and perjuries.
Instead of commendation and approx
al this beneficent discovery was re-
ceived with derision and misrepre-
sentation, the usual reward of ad-
vance movements. Whoever heard
of any city, corporation or individual
paying any tax they could avoid?
Has not human ingenuity been ex-
ercised to the limit devising articles
and tricks to this end? Is it not
notorious that money and valuables
disappear at the psychological time?
Do not many consider tax lodging
more of virtue than a crime? Is
not the proceeds of taxes usually
recklessly squandered or applied tc
a scheme of some favored locality
dictated by a court house ring? Is
not the whole system crude and un-
satisfactory? Are we not already
on single tax-that is, does not the
honest man pay it all?
Then wherefore this outcry against
Ashland for its successful resist
ance? 1t can proceed only from
envy or jealousy.

THE MAHOGANY MILL.
James Lick Made Good His Boast
When Scorned as Suitor.

James Lick Made Good His Boast
When Seorned as a Sutor.
The story of "Lick's Folly, or the
Mahogany MIL" has to do with the
romance of the life Of James Lick, the
donor of the Lick observatory.
In early life young Lick fell in love
with the daughter of well to do
miller for whom he worked. When he
made known his love. which was re-
ciprocated by the girl, the miller was
angry and is said to have replied:
"Out, you beggar! Dare you think
Of my daughter, who will inherit my
riches? Have you mill like this?
Have you a single penny in your
purse"
To this Lick replied that he had
nothing as yet but one day he would
have a mill beside which this one
would be pigsty.
In 1854 the quiet, parsimonious
James Lick surprised everybody by
building a magnificent -four mill near
San Jose The mill was finished with
In in solid mahogany, highly polished.
and was furnished with the best ma
chinery possible. He made the grounds
about the mill very attractive and be-
gan early to set out trees both for
fruit and ornament.
Lick caused his elegant mill to be
photographed without and within and
sent the pictures to the miller who had
scorned him in his youth.
Nineteen years after Mr.. Lick built
his mill. Jan. 49, 1873, he surprised the
people of San Jose again by giving 1t
to the Paine Memorial society of Bos-
ton. half the proceeds of sale to be
used for memorial hall and half to
sustain lecture course.-Exchange

Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-07-24

From time to time the Tidings has
received communications from read
ers. 1t is helpful thing to exchange
opinions on current subjects. Es-
pecially is this true of those subjects
that affect the material well-being
of the community (either of the city
of Ashland or the county of Jack
SOM, and this column is dedicated
mainly to that end. However, there
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-07-24

been secured to Seattle. In the VIII
lamette Valley s5 per cent of the
output of the canneries goes east and
this valley has identically the same
eastern rate as the Willamette Valley
and eastern Washington. The rail-
roads, he declared, are the first to
feel the depression of business and
the last to recover from it. While
the fruit crop has made the valley,
Mr.. Mulchay believes that other
branches of farming and dairying
have been unduly neglected and must
be brought up even with the fruit
industry. There must be hogs, cat
tie and dairying as equally impor-
tant branches of farming. There
should be products shipped out in
stead of shipped into the valley. Ore
gon sends 100000 east of the
mountains annually for 600 cars of
butter, eggs and meat which should
be raised in Oregon. A steady in
come on the farm the year around is
what is needed and must be had.
One of the reasons for his present
visit to the valley was to look into
the request of D. Perozzi, of Ashland,
and others for a refrigerator car
freight service to Portland. A car
could leave Ashland say Saturday
night and reach Portland Monday
morning ready for unloading. The
company would like to put this car
on but tried it once with disastrous
results. 1t took $500 pounds of
freight out of the valley, including
Grants Pass, the first day it was run.
1t took $500 pounds the second trip,
and the third passed Grants Pass
empty. This ended the experiment.
However, if they can be assured of
reasonable amount of traffic they
will gladly put on the car. The rate
per hundred on butter by refriger-
ator freight would be 81 as against
$1.65 by express from Ashland.
Grant Gordon, the Sunset public
ity man, was next called upon and
gave a brief and interesting talk
upon the Southern Pacific commun-
ity advertising plan, and told several
stories and told them well.
Mayor Breese of Talent was called
upon to close the toasts in sort of
benediction, as the toastmaster put
it. He spoke briefly of the develop
ment of the valley in the thirty years
he had known it and fervently urged
cooperation as the watchword of the
valley. The company rose and drank
toast to the mayor.
President Fuller announced the
next regular meeting for two weeks
from that night and Bert R. Greer
of Ashland as one of the speakers,
he taking the subject of the proposed
bond issue. An outside speaker
would also be secured to talk on the
cooperative creamery, and it was
hoped to launch the project that
night. @
The writer wants to say right here
that during thirty years of newspa-
per work it has been his fortune to
attend many banquets, many of them
statewide gatherings of editors, poll
ticians, lodgemen, ETC., and he can
truthfully say that he has never seen
banquet more skillfully handled by
the toastmaster, or one in which the
responses, barring his own feeble eff
fort, were uniformly more pointed or
enjoyable. Talent has a bunch of
business men and farmers of which
a town of 10000 people might well
be proud, and they will put Talent
well to the front in the near future.

hence the going abroad for varieties
to test. The farm is testing out 45
varieties of strawberries and 16 va
rieties of tomatoes. Winter cover
crops are being tested as they are
badly needed by this soil, which
lacks humus. Commercial fertilizers
are also being tested out carefully.
George w. Seager, secretary of the
Ashland Commercial Club, spoke
upon the need of more complete har-
mony in the valley and of the crying
need of more factories. He also ex-
tended to the members of the Talent
and other commercial clubs of the
valley the courtesies of the Ashland
Commercial Club rooms.
B. w. Talcott of Ashland was in
troduced as the editor of the Talent
Tidings." He complimented the Tai
ent Commercial Club upon being the
first club in the valley to strike the
true keynote of the situation in diff
ferentiating between exploitation and
development, and assured the Talent
Commercial Club and citizens that
the Ashland Tidings would boost for
Talent and any Talent enterprise just
as heartily as it would for Ashland
and any Ashland enterprise.
Fletcher Fish of Medford was in
troduced and sang a solo so pleas
ingly that he was twice recalled. His
numbers were indeed a treat Miss
Callie Vogili of Talent presided at
the piano.
Albert A. Ames, one of the recent
ly arrived Gophers, and an enthusias-
tic Talent booster, came next. He
was supposed to speak on the indus
try of bottling loganberry juice, but
after telling a good story at the ex-
pense of Dr.. Bagley and touching
upon the valley in general he called
for a vote of thanks to the ladies of
Talent, which was heartily given.
Mr.. ]. H. Mulchay, assistant gem
eral freight agent of the Southern
Pacific lines in Oregon, and one of
the guests of honor of the evening,
was called upon and spoke very en-
tertainingly and gave all present
many new thoughts as to the prob
lens confronting a railroad in it's re-
lations to the public. Like many an
other question, this has two sides,
and too often the public only consid-
ers one. Mr.. Mulchay does not be-
lieve the people thoroughly under
stand the conditions confronting the
railroads in these days, or railroads
would get more credit for their work
In building up the communities
through which they pass. People do
not, of course, read the decisions of
the interstate commerce commission
and do not realize that the railroad
man of today has little to say about
how his business is to be run. The
commissions of the nation and states
practically run it for him. The rail-
roads realize the needs of the vari-
Gus communities but these needs are
conflicting and hard to adjust. Re-
ferring to the discrimination against
the Rogue River Valley canneries he
declared that it was more apparent
than real. That the charges into
Frisco balanced the difference in the
rail and water rate very nearly. On
dried fruits, had the cannery asked
commodity rates they might have

BANQUET T:A GREAT SUCCESS
CONTINUED from Page Three.)

Beeson plead guilty to having on,
particular dream which he believed
could and would come true. Tha
was a box factory at Talent which
could, and would, not only furnish
all the boxes needed for the Rogue
River Valley, but would open up the
huge forests to the west of Talent
stretching $50 miles to the Pacific
ocean. Talent has cheap electric
power; can get a good site on the
railway and should bring the logs
to the town and saw them there,
where the slabs will find a ready
market or can be shipped to other
towns for wood. There would also
be the beginnings of a railway to the
coast in the logging railroad neces-
sary to the hauling of the logs.
Prof. Reimer was called upon to
tell of the work of the state expert
mental farm. He wanted, he said, to
state plainly that the experiment
farm was not, nor was it intended
to be, a model farm. There were
model orchards and model farms in
the valley which the experiment sta
tion could not improve upon. 1t was
just what its name implpied, an ex-
perimental farm. 1t was designed to
help farmers and fruit growers in
all ways. One of these ways was in
soil selection. Only recently a gem
tleman called upon him for advice as
to what use to put a certain tract
of land. Prof. Reimer replied, gem
eral farming. Asked as to the value
of the land for that purpose, Mr..
Reimer placed it at $10O per acre.
The owner declared that price too
low and asked what it would be
worth if planted to young fruit.
Prof. Reimer replied, fifteen cents
per acre. There were thousands of
acres, he said, which should not be
planted to fruit. Fully twice as
much land is unfit for fruit as is fit
for fruit, declared Prof. Reimer,
though one of the most enthusiastic
boosters in the valley for fruit upon
the proper land. For much of the
land dairying was the best use and
a cooperative creamery was badly
needed in the valley. The expert
mental farm was ready to test cows
or herds free of cost and had already
made number of tests with results
which surprised the owners. He
had tested cows whose milk showed
as high as 6 " per cent of butter fat,
while others in the same herd with
the same feed and care showed less
than 3 per cent. In fruit growing
he believed that the pear would be
the leading fruit of the valley and
stated that the farm was testing the
adaptability of various varieties. At
present there are between 800 and
400 varieties from the United States.
Europe and Asia being tested. and
this will be increased to over 500
varieties. The reason of this extern
sive test is that none of the standard
varieties are without defects. OF 40
varieties heretofore tested in the val
ley only 10 or II have been careful
ly tested. Every standard variety
grown here originated in Europe,

You'd scarce expect one in this age
In any business, to engage,
And expect to build a paging trade
Without the local papers aid.
Yet there are those who do this

And expect each day, success to

But alas, the Sheriff takes their

And sells 1t on the auction block.
Don't view them with q critics eye,
But simply say as they go by,
There goes the fools who used to
