P. & E. R. R. TO EXTEND
Report Current in Medford That the
Hill Railroad Will Soon BE
Built to Bend.

The Pacific & Eastern railroad
will be extended east to a junction
with the Hill line, which was built
down the Deschutes river, early in
1913, if a report which reached Med
ford Tuesday night is true. The Of
ficers and engineers of the Hill lines
in Oregon have been in meeting in
Portland for the past three days, and
it is believed that an appropriation
has been made to carry on the work.
Reports from the region of Bend
are to the effect that large amount
of Porter Bros stock has been
brought into that part of the state
to winter. Those who are most ia
miliar with the winter conditions in
central Oregon point out that winter
conditions there are not favorable
for winter feeding, and they have
begun to think that the Hill inter
ests are contemplating the rapid
starting of work similar to the COM
mencement of the building of the
Deschutes line.
The Medford Sun announced last
week that an appropriation was
available for the building of an addi-
tional six miles into the timber east
of Butte Falls. The Portland report
is to the effect that this is only a
part of the plan and that the whole
connecting link will be built
The extension of this line will
bring Medford at least "a hours
nearer to the eastern railroad CEN
ters and will cut out several hun
dred miles in distance.
Vice-President and General Man
ager William Gerig of the Pacific G.
Eastern railroad is in Portland and
could not be reached. No local con-
firmation of the proposed extension
could be obtained. =.

BASKET BALL GAMES
Ashland Boys Up Against Hard
Teams ON Trip to North
Country.

Dallas repeated Saturday nights
feat by taking the Ashland high
school into camp by the score of 26
to Is. The game was hard fought
from the first whistle to the last.
Dallas started with a rush and
scored IA points while the visitors
made only three. Ashland braced
and, fighting like demons, brought
the score up to II to 13 at the end
of the first half. After the inter
mission Dallas came back strong and
for several minutes neither team
scored. Time was taken out for
Matheny, and after the brief rest
Dallas again scored. Asnland's star
center, Poor, who had been playing
a wonderful game despite the fact
that one hand was so badly sprained
that it was useless, was replaced at
center by Mills, who held his oppon-
ent scoreless throughout the rest of
the game. Plymate went in at guard
in Mills place. From this time on
the team seemed demoralized, and
although they passed beautifully,
could not work the ball down to the
basket. Dallas played a steady game
to the finish and rolled up several
points. The basket shooting of the
Dallas forwards was a revelation and
was the main factor in contributing.
to the defeat of the southern Ore
gon boys. The game was played be-
fore large crowd. From the first
tics and toward the end resembled a
football match rather than basket
ball but the officials kept it free
from dirty work and the crowd was
we'll satisfied. The Ashland boys did
not play quite the finished game of
the Dallas team, but individually
were better. The Dallas team has
played together, while the Ashland
team has three new men. A months
practice and few hard games will
weld the team into unit which will
outclass any of the northern teams.
The, Ashland men are anxious to get
another chance at the Dallas crowd
and may bring them to Ashland in
| February.
The Ashland team plays in Inde-
pendence Tuesday night with a
weakened lineup.

The Polytechnic school is progress

is shown. The number of students
is steadily increasing and the inter-

al institution to work up the esprit

pertaining TO the school However,
the boys have formed a basketball
team which starts out with good
showing and will doubtless be heard
from later in the season to the credit
of the institution.
The engagement of Miss Bagley of
the University of California will
without doubt do Inuch to strengthen
the stenographic department. The
mathematics for the engineering
courses, including trigonometry, are
now being taught and the engineer
ing courses will be installed next

The SNOWDEN COAL
SiskiyOu County Coal Will Soon be
on Sale in Ashland-LOcal
Parties Interested.

The fuel problem bids fair to be at
least partially solved for Ashland
with the advent of coal from the
Black Mountain mine near Snowden,
in Siskiyou county. The coal is now
being mined at the rate of about
eight tons per day and it is expected
that the first car will be received in
this county in couple of weeks
The only obstacle TO this is that the
Siskiyou county people are gobbling
up the coal about as fast as it can
be mined under present conditions,
the output finding ready sale at the
mouth of the mine for S. per ton
Several local men were over and in
vestisated the mine the latter part
of the week and they were so much
impressed that several took stock in
the mine.
Mr.. Ralston, the sales agent,
brought a sample of the coal to the
Tidings office and it seems to be a
good quality of bituminous coal
Those who have tried it claim that
it will equal the Rock Springs coal
and it can be put on the market here
for about $3.50 per ton. The Ash
land Transfer & Storage Company
will have a car in soon and if the
quality proves satisfactory they will
have the handling of the product in
this vicinity. A test of the quality
is being awaited anxiously by many
citizens.
