Railroad Rumors Appear
To Be Without Foundation

stated this morning to the Tidings
that no one had ever approached him
on the matter and that it was abso-
lutely unfounded.
A report was current Wednesday
that a crew was here to build an
addition to the round-house. The
size was set definitely at 80 stalls.
j. E. Metcalf, when asked about the
matter yesterday afternoon, stated
that the. reporter was on "a cold
trail" He denied any knowledge OF
any intention to do any building and
accounted for the arrival Of bunch
of men in the city with tools by the
fact that crew from the car shops
was up at Colestin the night before
assisting in picking up wreck. The
men got through before the wrecker
was ready to return and were sent
down on a light engine.

Homemade"
Crowson Candy

Homemade candy" recalls the mo-
lasses taffy of our youth. the fudge
of later years, and perhaps little
butterscotch. Farther than that it
does not go, and when a confectioner
advertises an entire stock of candy
as homemade the announcement is
taken with more salt than is palat-
able with candy. A Tidings repre-
sentative accepted the invitation of
Win Crowson to visit the Crow
son sweet shop and see the making
of the various candies and gladly
availed himself of the privilege. 1t
was certainly a revelation to see the
variety of candies which are made
at their store. 1t comprises practi-
cally everything offered for sale and
the quality was certainly tempting.
One feature which attracted attention
was the immaculate neatness of the
entire place.
The work is all done under the
personal supervision of Mr.. and Mrs.
Crowson. Fudges, bonbons, choco-
, late creams, opera stick, chicken
bone, nougats, in fact every imagina-
BILE kind of candy is made fresh al
most daily, and so great is the de-
mand that no stock is allowed to get
stale.
Mrs. Crowson at the time of the
reporters visit was packing and
wrapping candy boxes. These are
filled with their regular 60-cent
stock, which is the equal of any
neatly and carefully packed, in
large assortment of candies, and dur
ing holiday season are being wrapped
in beautiful holly paper and have a
Christmas tag attached. In each
box is enclosed dainty art calen'
dar for 1914. -
Neither space nor desire to give
out the secrets of the trade will per
NIT detailed description of the pro
cess of making the various candies
but anyone visiting Crowsons will b'
welcomed and shown through tnei
manufacturing department.

NEW STORE FRONTS TO BE PUT
MOTHER IMPROVEMENTS.
DRUG STORE GETS CORNER ROOM
C. w. Roberts Negotiating for Upper
Story for ROOming ROuse-WII
Newly Furnish 1t From Start to
Finish.

One of the hopes deferred to be at
last realized is the remodeling of the
brick building at the corner of
Fourth and A streets. Since the fire
in August, 1919, the building has
stood idle and an eyesore to the pub
lie travelling the Southern Pacific as
well as to the people of Ashland. The
days of its disgrace are over. Mr.. T..
Hunter, the owner, arrived a few
days ago and commenced remodeIing
it and putting in new fronts. 1t will
be made into two storerooms on the
ground floor. The Depot drug store
will get the corner room and will
occupy it soon after the first of jan
uary. The other storeroom has not
been rented yet 1t will, however.
undoubtedly be rented by the time ii
is completed.
Curt Roberts of restaurant fame is
negotiating for the upper story and
will furnish it up in first-class shape
as a rooming house, which he will
conduct in connection with his res-
taurant.

There are many tasty and attract
i've holiday windows being shown in
Ashland this year. In fact, few cities
of this size display the taste in that
direction shown by Ashland mef-
chants. AS a manipulation of intri-
cate window decorations Ralph Had
field, of Simpsons hardware store, is
hard to beat anywhere. His latest
creation, a Ferris wheel, is certainly
deserving of a special write-up. The
wheel carries several platforms, each
of which has tiny colored electric
light. These lights are so connected
up that they only burn while they
are on the down trip at the front OF
the wheel, being automatically cut
out while on the up half of the revo-
luton. The wheel shows a fine

A Resultful Practice.

At a recent convention of newspa-
per men in Chicago, one of the
speakers was representative OF a
Chicago mail order house. This
speaker informed his audience that
the success of the mail order houses
depends entirely on advertising. 1t
is a practice of mail order houses,
he said, to obtain copies of country
newspapers throughout the territory
in which the house does business.
The advertising in these papers is
carefully studied Where it is found
that the local dealer is not advertis-
ing, or is advertising only certain
lines, the mail order house immedi-
ately floods that territory with liter
ature. This practice brings results
When the local merchants all adver-
tise as they should, he declared the
mail order business would receive a
severe setback.

WATSON IS PARK COMMISSIONER
G. Cunningham Received Heavy En-
dorsement of Course in Past and
J. b. Ware Developed Even Unex-
pected Strength.

Ashland had a city election Tues
day. 1t passed off so quietly that
an outsider in town would hardly
have known it. The annual question
of wet or dry was up and the people
decided by an overwhelming majority
the largest measured by per cents
in the history of the city, that Ash
land did not want saloons within her
border. The total vote was 1913
against saloons and 144 in favor of
them.
F. E. Watson was elected park
commissioner without opposition, re-
ceiving a total vote of 749. Louis

ton, receiving respectively 185 and

Bagley Cannery
Ships Output East


The Bagley Canning Company of
Talent shipped their first car of
canned goods to Chicago yesterday.
Another will go forward Friday,
which will mark an invasion of the
middle west which promises to be
most profitable one for this enter
prising institution.
These two cars will hold 100000
pounds of canned goods. The last
year has been most profitable one.
Sixteen cars of canned goods have
been shipped out in all. including
vinegar. Two cars have gone recent
ly to Portland and one to San Fran
cisco. The freight rates cut down
the profit in these territories, how
ever, but in the middle west a local
cannery is on even terms with Cal
lifornia cannery and there is no ques-
tion but that the Oregon product is
vastly superior.
The Bagley Canning Company are
now sending out canned apples. pears,
peaches, plums, beans, tomatoes and
pumpkin. They have shipped ap-
proximately 140 tons of peaches, 15C
tons of tomatoes, SO tons of pears,
40 tons of apples, tons of beans, l
ton of plums and IL tons of pumpkin,
a total of 1876 tons of produce.

three cars in the ditch at Colestin
