Proposed Change
r OF Time Table

There are rumors of a proposed
new time card on the Southern Pa
cific railway to take effect next Sun
day. No copy has been received as
yet at the local offices, but accord
ing to reports there will be several
important changes. The rumor is
that trains, No. 10 and 20, known as
the PortlandAshland local, will be
discontinued. No. IA, which now ar
rives in Ashland at p. m., leaving
at 5:20, will, according to the in
formation received here, go north at
1880 or o'clock in the morning,
practically taking the place of No.
20. Trains 13, Is and 16 it is re-
ported will run practically on their
present schedule The morning mo-
tor will run, according to the reports,
about an hour later and the after
noon motor three or four hours later.
The change in the motor time is very
bad for the high school students COM
ing from Talent to Ashland and for
those going from Central Point and
Tolo to Medford. The cutting out
of train No. 19 will effectually stop
evening trips by train to Medford to
attend entertainments and the like.
Until the new card is actually re-
ceived the local railroad men are un-
able to give out any definite state
ments, but the above is said to be
very close to the proposed arrange
ment.
There is being a strenuous effort
made to retain the motor on the
present schedule, both by the school
patrons of Medford and also, it is
said. by the motor crew, who will
have very unpleasant hours and ir-
regular meals under the proposed
change.

START FOR
DAM SITE
IT. w. OSGOOD AND CREW LEFT
FOR HYATT PRAIRIE TODAY.
LARGE AREA MUST Be CLEARED
Huge Dam to BE Constructed to Hold
Waters for Irrigation Purposes
Expected that Larger Crew Will
Soon Be Put On.

AS announced in Mondays Tidings,
w. I. Osgood and crew of over twen-
ty men left Ashland this morning for
Hyatt Prairie to commence work on
the dam which is to impound the
waters of Keene creek so as to irri-
gate large tract of land in the Bear
Creek Valley. The first work OF
magnitude will be the construction
of the dam, which will be 900 feet in
length and so feet high at the high
est point. 1t is estimated that it will
hold sufficient water to properly irri-
gate 5000 acres.
The well-known Barron ranch,
which is to form part of the reser-
Voir, will be the headquarters of the
crew for the present
Mr.. Osgood was up from Medford
for a short time Wednesday after
noon, returning this morning early
and leaving his car here. He accom-
panied the crew and team which car
ried the supplies to the ranch. He
states that about 964 acres will be
flooded, to an average depth of 20
feet, which he estimates will assure
plenty of water for 5000 acres.
1t will be necessary to erect a
portable sawmiil to cut the timber on
a portion of the land to be sub
merged.

Established Brands
Most Profitable

Portland, Oct Does it nav to
market fruit under established
brands? The answer is given in the
affirmative by w. f. Gwin, head of
the selling force of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange of this city, because
he has the data to prove without the
slightest doubt that buyers pay more
for branded fruits than any others.
For instance, the Rogue River
Fruit and Produce Association puts
out its best product under the Blue
Triangle brand. Much Of the famous
products of that section are sold un-
der the Blue Triangle and it has paid
in dollars and cents many times.
Recently Bose pears from the same
section of the Pacific northwest and
without a special brand to distin-
guish them from the products of any
other place sold in an eastern mar
ket at an average of $1.7S for half
boxes. The very next day and in
the same market the Blue Triangle
OF the Rogue river section went at
an average of $2.20 for 4Os and an
average of 1892 for the balance of
the car.
The day following two more cars
OF the nameless Boscs were sold on
the eastern market at an average of
$1.71 while the Blue Triangle sold
in Boston at the same time at an
average of $1.91.

Occupy New Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. B. W. Talcott have
moved into their recently purchased
and remodeled home at 112 Pine
street. The contract for the remod-
cling of the building was let to F. H.
Fitch, who also planned the changes.
The owners are more than pleased
with the work he did for them, both
in the architectural and building
line. He literally transformed the
building from a mediocre looking
building to a neat, tasty bungalow
The plumbing was done by A. J. Bic
gel and the papering by w. G. STEM
nett, both of whom did first-class,
up-to-date work.

known travelling salesman for Kirk
Geary, the Sacramento drug house,
has been transferred to the San
Joaquin valley and they are removing

some time, their son being native

es under her and that they in turn
may work among the members of
such, you can easily see how the
work of promoting the normal will
spread, especially if more literature
can be sent these leaders.
We were welcomed the evening we
formally opened by the chief of the
police department. Perhaps he
thought he ought to keep his eyes
on us. Also by President Kerr of
0. A. c., by the city superintendent
of schools, Professor Kirk, and 9TH
ers.
Responses were given. Mrs. w.
d. Mccullough of Medford made a
very pleasing one for southern Ore
gon. might add that later, al
though new in the state, she was
looked upon as future material for
president of the w. c. T. u.
Much pertaining to morality came
before our body. Many interesting
reports were read. The school board
of Portland, at the request of Mrs.
Bulan, at the head of our scientific
temperance department in Oregon,
ordered that essays be written by the
Portland school children on the eff
fects of narcotics, for a contest with
prizes. Fifteen thousand children
responded, and the school board said
the enthusiasm was wonderful. 1t
will be repeated in Portland next
year.
Fourteen measures were adopted
for execution next year.
The present form of woman's
dress was denounced in no uncertain
terms. 1t was urged that no school
teachers should be employed whose
morality did not measure up to the
best.
The sterilization bill was endorsed
and many others that are expected
to-be seen fully enforced. Governor
Vests policies were favorably COM
mented on. The most important
measure was that one which decided
that We should join our sister states
in campaign for a dry state in
1914. The leader in this movement
will be Mrs. Edith Hill Booker, the
newly elected president. She is a
woman of unimpeached integrity, a
brilliant speaker and an excellent
promoter of affairs. The w. C. T..
U. were delighted to obtain this lead
er to succeed Mrs. Unruh, who goes
into national work which will take
her all over our country.
In closing will state we had the
pleasure of meeting some of the
women who are on regular duty on
municipal affairs in Portland work
ing as food inspectors, or in police
work. We find them splendid factors
and needed ones. When people real
ize they are working for humanity
their work will be better appreciated.

Took Remains to Kansas.

Mrs. w. H. Andrews and Miss
Stella Owens left Tuesday evening
for Arlington, Kan, with the re-
mains of their father, the late I. B.
Owens, who died Sunday night.
There were funeral services at the
house, conducted by Rev. W. N. D.
MacCullough, prior to their leaving.
Mr.. Owen had resided in Ashland
about four years, but because of con-
tinued poor health was not widely
acquainted. Those who knew him
esteemed him highly and regret to
learn of his death.

STATE CONVENTION OF W. {. 7. U.
MRS. EDMUNDS WRITES ENTERTAINMENT OF CONVENTION At COR
WALLIS ASHLAND, DELEGATION BOOSTS NORMAL

The state convention of the w. G..
T. U. was held at Corvallis from Sep
tember 23 to 26. Five of the 210
delegates were from Jackson county
1t was in the charge of Mrs. H.
Brown, Mrs. Unruh being out of the
state lecturing for woman's franchise
in New York. Her services there
are estimated at SIS per week and
she is drawing great crowds to hear
the woman from Oregon.
Corvallis people were most hospit-
able. They not only opened their
homes, but gave a large reception,
conducted by the Women's Auxiliary
of the Commercial Club in the COM
modious parlors decorated for the
occasion in white. We listened to
an address of welcome from Mrs.
Peavy, which was hearty indeed, and
it was responded to by our own act
ing president. Refreshments we're
served. The rooms were thronged
with hundreds. President Kerr of
the Oregon Agricultural College en-
tertained at dinner, together with
others of the faculty, all of our state
officers and all of our county presi-
dents, something like forty in all.
The other members of the conven-
tion were taken in automobiles
through the grounds and then es-
corted through the main buildings.
We heard very favorable mention of
the Ashland students. whom Profess
sor Kerr said he always found rank
ing high morally; that Earl Fraley
ranked well in his course of CONNER
cial law; that Alvin Wheeler was
likely to be chosen president of the
freshman student body, and the Ter
rible Ashcraft" was already cutting
swathe" in athletics. We found
the college even more than we ex-
pected, but what impressed us most
was the dignity and courteousness
that the students showed. No hood
lumism was evident, even outside of
the grounds; and more, no tight or
X-ray dresses among the girls. Not
one among the 700 girls there.
Skinny skirts are not good form in
Corvallis. If this is partly the effect
of higher education, then may we
welcome the day when the Ashland
Normal School is re-established
Apropos of that the Jackson delega-
tion worked as one. Medford and
Ashland clasped hands in boosting
for that institution, from the time
we boarded the train until we re-
turned. Favorable comment was or
dered sent to normal headquarters
here, and large portion of our
convention women have promised to
do everything possible for the school.
We were greatly surprised and
pleased to find how willing those
coming from counties which have
colleges of their own were desirous
to promote the bill, and we were told
to send literature and it would be
circulated. The bulletins sent out
were all distributed the last evening
by Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Homer and my
self to the large audience waiting
the evening program, and we saw
many persons reading them. So we
believe some good seed was sown.
We found the delegates from eastern
Oregon receptive and willing to work
for the normal We found the most
apathy from the Portland women,

past any expectations this year. The
bookkeeping class has grown so that
it has been necessary to throw two
rooms together to accommodate
them. The typewriter room is also
badly crowded and the management
will enlarge it in short time. 1t is

that the school is pushing to the

GENERAL DEBATE OPENS IN SENATE
ON THE UNDERWOOD TARIFF BILL

Washington. July lS.-An aver
age reduction Of 27.6i per cent un-
der the rates OF the existing Payne
Aidrich tariff law is proposed by the
Democratic Undcrwood-Simmo tar
iff bill upon which the senate began
general debate today, according to
tho report OF the finance committee
majority submitted by Senator f. NJ.
Simmons.
The report also shows that the bill
a. reported to the senate provides
49.2 per cent lower than the Under
wood bill M 1t passed the house and
that from II. together with other
government receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1914. thcr Will
be an estimated surplus In the gov
ernment treasury of $2.020.000.
A salient feature OF this bill it is
pointed out, is the large increase Of
imports to he admitted free of duty.
Under the house bill the value OF
free listed imports, on the basis of
1912 importations. was $lo3,O00.o 900
whereas the Democrats of the senate
in caucus by sweeping changes pro-
pose to free list imports valued at
$l47.367,OO0.
Upon the basis of ten months for
the coming fiscal year the report cs-
timacs that the receipts from, Gus
toms alone under the new bill Will
be $266.73O, 900. from income tax
&5S.O3O, 900. corporation tax s37.-
100000 Internal revenue including
tax on cotton futures OF $5.0O0.000.
$297, 900. 900 and that the revenue
from all other sources will bring the
total for the fiscal year to $996,S1O,-
900. Disbursements were estimated
for the committee by treasury ex-
perts at $994.70O,O0O.
In analyZing the bill the colnmit-
tee "deemed the amendments of the
house entirely too drastic partic-
