ernor's character and the revolution IS
prospects.
Whether this be n sign that Presi
dent Wilson intends to remove the en-
barge on arms and give active assist
ancc to the insurgents under Carranza
perhaps will not be known for several
days. II is rather disturbing, however
to see the president considering war
measures. II has been his hope, and II
is still the hope of the country, that
he will be able to remove Huerta by
powers of diplomacy rather than by an
appeal to arms While support Of Car
rama does not necessarily mean inva-
sion OF Mexico by the armed forces of
the United States, yet that result might
very easily follow. Untold blood and
United States uses military force to
pacify Mexico and establish stable gov
ernment. 1t is doubtful il we should
ever he able 10 withdraw from the
country, and we would find there a
situation ten times more aggravated
than that which eopfronts us in the
Philippines.
We should eliminate Huerta since we
have set ourselves to the task, but we
should eliminate him by diplomatic
means. The problem is one that should
be solved in tho cabinet at Washing
ton and by conference with the Euro
pean powers. There is no need at this
time for military demonstration A lit;
tie patience and Huerta's reign will be
ended, and diplomacy, having accom-
plished this result, may 60 on with Sc
curity to the work of establishing law
and order in Mexico and Of protecting
our own and foreign interests. This is
the consummation TO which the people
of this country are looking forward
eagerly, and if President Wilson brings
it about the entire country will Join In

place with so small force, Arnold had
nothing to do but to hold on and wait
for Montgomery
When Montgomery arrived early in
December. the united American force
amounted to 1900 men, and as the
British still refused TO capitulate it was
resolved TO carry the place by storm.
It was mad resolve, and yet we know

A SOUTHERN POWER PROJECT.

The greatest power project in the
south will be placed in operation with
the formal opening of the nine-million
dollar power plant, lock and dam al
Hale's Bar, eleven miles down the
Tennessee river from Chattanooga, TO-
day.
With the dam in operation, Chatta-
nooga and the surrounding district
will be supplied with $4,000 electric
horse power for each day, sufficient
quantity of electricity to operate
twenty-five cotton mills or to run all
the trains on the Chattanooga & Nash
vile railroad.
The power plant, which ranks with
that at Keokuk, Iowa, on the Missis-
sippi, and the plant at Niagara Falls,
will be operated by the Chattanooga &
Tennessee Power company,
As the erection of the dam and
power plant progressed, the federal
government spent several millions OF
dollars in improving tho river for navi-
CATION purposes.
The dam is built on the gravity
principle of cyclopean concrete. 1t is
$4,000 feet long, has an average height
Of fifty-two feet, is eleven feet wide
at the top and from ffty-seven to sixty
feet wide at the base. The upstream
face Of the dam is vertical, while the
downstream face is sloping. More than
$4,000 cubic yards OF concrete were
used in constructing the barrier.
At the western extremity of the dam
is the lock for steamboat navigation,
This lock has the highest single lift of
any lock in the western hemisphere.
From the lower level to the higher sur
face of the lake. made by the impound
ing Of the water above the dam, is a
lift of fifty-nine feet. The inside of
the lock is 300 feet In length and has
width of sixty feet. The down
stream gates are fifty-nine feet high
HHb th'H VI iht wv I'h &C VI tht
gates weighs l29 tons. The gates are
operated by electric power furnished
from the plant.
The power house, with its huge tur
bine water wheels and generators, is
located al the eastern extremity of the
dam. The power house itself is 353
feet long and sixtysix feet wide. Be
low the main floor of the power house
are seven wheel pits, each containing
two sets Of three turbine water
wheels. Each set Of wheels is directly
connected TO vertical 6600.volt. 3l33-
kilowatt alternating current generator,
capable of developing 1000 horse
power. There are fourteen Of these
power units.
Adjoining tho power house is the
station, where the current
is stepped up from $500 to $4,000
volts, at which pressure it is transmit

Arnold at Quebec
BY REV. T. B. GREGORY.

II was l3s years ago today that Ben
edict Arnold, having finished his won,
dcrfui march, crossed the ST. Lawrence
climbed the Heights OF Abraham and
summoned the British garrison at Que
bee to surrender.
That march through the wild north
ern wilderness will always rank among
the most daring and heroic of human
military achievements; and 10 the end
of time 'all the world - will "'wou-
der at the sublime audacitv of the
man who. at the end of such toilsome
march, stood his little wornout army Of
200 men up against the walls of the
Gibraltar of the new world and de-
manded its surrender TO him.
But men of British blood have never
been much on surrendering and the

senate committee says Chairman
Kern soothingly. "They cannot take

To escape the unorganized mob,
therefore, the Democratic senators de-

viii the Highway
Go Thru Ashland?

A report has been current lately in
Ashland that the Pacific Highway
may be built to miss the city of Ash
land and that those living along the
highway will be compelled to pay
for the building of the road.
Both of these propositions are alb
surd.
The Pacific Highway has long been
established and marked out by the
Pacific Highway Association and the
call for the bond issue provides that
the work shall be on the Pacific
Highway. That means that the road
shall run entirely through Ashland
on the present route.
The people living on the highway
will not have the construction to pay
for, as the bond call provides that it
shall be paid for out of the bond
issue.
County Judge Tou Velle has asked
the Tidings to make this statement
in answer to letter of inquiry sent
to him.

Trades Business
For Stock Ranch

A deal was made few days ago
by which E. E. Phipps sells his i'm
plement business, the ten-aere tract
known as the E. N. Butler orchard
east of Ashland and two lots on Vista
street to M. c. Bressler mad son.
Mr.. Phipps purchased of them a 160-
acre farm in Sans Valley, together
with the stock, machinery, ETC., there
with and the crops, paying $10,250
therefor, Mr.. Bressler paying the bal
ance of the purchase price of the
Ashland property in cash. Mr.. Bress-
Ter has taken possession of the bust
ness and his son has come over from
Sans Valley and will make his home
here and manage the business with
his fathers assistance.
Mr.. Phipps has built up a good
business and without doubt Messrs.
Bressler & Son will keep it up to the
same high standard. Mr.. Phipps will
not, for the present at least, go onto
his ranch, though one of his sons is
anxious to do so in the near future.

nth WRECK
in TWO YEARS
KILLED ON EASTERN
ROAD TUESDAY MORNING.
EXPRESS HITS PASSENGER TRAIN
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Has GruesOme Record OF
Serious Accidents in Past Couple
of Years.

New Haven Conn, Sept. 2.-Thir-
teen persons are known to have met
death near Wallingford, Conn, early
today when the White Mountain ex-
press of the New York, New Haven
& &Hartford railroad collided with
the Bar Harbor express. More than
score of passengers were injured,
some probably fatally.
The bodies of all the victims have
not been recovered and it is believed
that thorough search will bring the
death list up to Is. Railroad Of
ficials admit that thirteen corpses
have been removed from the wreck
age, but as all the victims were in
their night clothing, Identification is
proceeding slower.
Today's wreck was the eleventh
serious accident to occur on the New
Haven tracks within two years. The
interstate commerce commission has
sent inspectors from Washington to
investigate and it is believed that
criminal prosecution of those re-
sponsible for today's wreck will fol-
low. Engineer Miller of the White
Mountain express already has been
arrested. He asserts, however, that
he saw no lights on the Bar Harbor
train in advance. The latter was
moving slowly WIN the White Noun
tain express, travelling at forty miles
an hour, crashed into its rear end.
Most of the dead an injured were
passengers in the three rear Pullman
cars of the Bar Harbor express.
( Railroad officials state that the
Bar harbor express, with seven
coaches, had stopped near Walling-
ford in response to signal and that
the first section of the White Noun
tain express telescoped the rear
coaches.

5000 Acres of
Corn in Valley

D. NJ. Lowe reported to the Com
mercial Club Monday evening that he
had made a canvass of the Rogue
River Valley this year and that there
was over 5000 acres of corn being
raised this year as against less than
400 three years ago. Not only that,
but he had with him part of the
time two Columbus, Ohio, agricul-
turists who estimated much of the
corn at 60 bushels per acre. Even at
20 bushels per acre 100000 cushels
of home-raised corn means much to
a community which has been ship
ping in practically all that it used.
A representative of the U. S. agri-
cultural department, who recently
visited the valley, inspected Mr..
loves dry farming ranch and pro-
nounced the product fully the equal
of any he had seen anywhere in the
United States.
