Ashland business men should
watch out for a lady artist who is
said to be abroad in the valley. She
has been active in the lower cities of
the Rogue River Valley, as shown by
the following from the Medford Sun:
"a bad-chek artist is said to be
abroad in Medford and the secretary
of the Medford Merchants Associa-
tion has issued a warning against
her. She has operated at Salem some
time and a lady of her description
has been seen at Medford acting sus-
piciously.
Her stunt is to solicit subscrip-
tions or sell some small article and
get signatures of people and their ad-
dresses. Then she would forge this
singature among the merchants.
She is described as about five feet
three inches in height, dark eyes, and
weighing about 135 or 14O pounds.
She purchased red sweater at Salem
and wore a gray suit"

The following letter from a new
conner to an eastern friend has been
handed the Tidings for publication:
My Dear Friend: l am up against

and flowers, but of that later. The
hotel / am staying at is we'll man

one would expect from a town of
this pretension. You know how
much our townspeople think of their
hotel. They recognize the fact that
the town is largely judged by it
and that it is one of their best ad-
vertisements. Business men and
property owners patronize it liber-
ally and pride themselves on their
up-to-date hostelry. 1t is not SO
here. The hotel is patronized by
town people only from necessity
Boarding and rooming houses are
everywhere. Stranger still, when.
ever a convention or circus comes tc

in the restaurant business. "Chick

church, 35 cents" Fine dinner will

the loaves and fishes suggests tha
scene in the temple between ou

"Dudly for Duds," logger

Editor Tidings We are readers
of the Tidings and could no more
do without it than we could with our
coffee in the morning. We watch
for it as anxiously as for letter
from home, and friends in Vancou-
yer read it with as much interest as
we do and give you the credit of be-
ing live editor and want to read
every copy as soon as we are through
with it, as the Tidings tells them
what they want to know about the
Rogue River Valley and they seem to
want to get all the information. Sew
eral of them are talking of going to
Ashland on the strength of the It'd
ings' good sense talk, they say.
Although the sea breeze has been
quite benefit to my health, we will
be glad, as many others, to get back
to Ashland.
Enclosed find money to forward
the Tidings to the above address as
we are enjoying a visit to our son,
who is installing machinery here.
God bless the Tidings, Ashland and
the good class of people who make
her what she is.

lady, who represented a certain in
fluential organization in this city,
came in and after watching the drill
for few minutes suggested that the
boys take part in an affair which was
to be given by the club which she
represented. She asked that the boys
have suitable uniforms and thought
it would be a splendid thing for the
city to see tile movement on the part
of the boys to organize a company
of Boy Scouts. Captain Hudson told
this lady we had no funds with which
to purchase uniforms. She suggested
that uniforms be procured, and she
could speak for the organization
which she represented as being will
ing to help toward paying for them,
and mentioned a sum which she
thought they might give. On that
guarantee and feeling sure the city
would be interested in helping to or
ganize our boys, l undertooy to get
them in readiness for the parade
W.T. had little time in which to ac-
complish our object, but by sitting
up until o'clock on the morning of
the day they were to parade / man
aged to lengthen and shorten and
press suits and sew the letters R. R.
S. (Rogue River Scouts) on about
forty sleeves, and the boys made
quite a creditable appearance.
l bought khaki suits ranging in
price from $3.50 to $3.50, according
to the size of the boys. Some were
from Beebe & Kinney, some from the
Ashland Trading Company, and nine
suits l had to send to Sacramento
for. Seventy-five dollars in all.
Some of the boys bought their suits
from me, but the majority were left
on my hands. Two letters to the
lady who invited the boys to parade
and assured us of assistance finan-
cially, and one letter to the secretary
of the organization which the first
mentioned lady represented, failed to
elicit an answer.
When the boys were asked to pay
for their suits after being told they
would not be under any expense
whatever in joining, they felt an in
justice had been done them. We
were not financially able to keep
them going until they were strong
enough to help themselves, and so
our Boy Scouts disbanded.
The old soldiers were the only
people in Ashland, seemingly, who
took any interest in the movement
or gave the boys any encouragement.
1t has warmed my heart that one
father, at least, was enough inter-
ested to inquire.
