TidingS' Work
Is Appreciated

That the vote of Ashland on the
university appropriation bills in
Tuesdays election is appreciated is
evidenced by the following telegram
received at the Tidings office this
morning:
Eugene, Ore. Nov. 5, 1913.
Editor Tidings, Ashland, Ore:
Ashland's support of the university
measures was magnificent. Allow
me to express the qualification of
many friends of higher education at
the able and unremitting work of the
Tidings. P. L. CAMPBELL"
The Tidings has co-operated with
others in Ashland in the campaign in
favor of the university appropria-
tions, and while grateful for the ap-
preciation of the university, feels that
others in Ashland are equally deserv-
ing of recognition for untiring work.

Canyon Fire
Is Expensive

There was considerable discussion
precipitated at the council meeting
by the presentation of bills from the
chief of the fire department for the
services of men who helped fight the
forest fire up the canyon recently.
Chief Hilty put in the names of ten.
who had worked three hours each.
Two OF these were city employees up-
on a regular salary and some of the
oouncilmen objected to their being
allowed what would be virtually dou-
lie pay for the time, saying that
when fire fighting was outside the
hours they were supposed to be work
ing for the city it should be allowed, -,
but when otherwise they should not
be paid double. 1t came out that the
tills had been put in by the chief,
not by the employees, and the matter
was referred to the fire and water
committee.
A smile went around the council
when Messrs. Beaver and Werth stat
ed that their sons had been there and
had worked and should be included
in the list. This was done. Council
man Beaver believed that those not
members of the fire department
should be given but 81 for the three
hours. The bills were finally allowed
at that figure.
