A California View OF the Rogue
River Valley.

"a. P. Eicher in Sacramento Bee. J
The roads in Josephine county,
Ore, were not so good as those in
Del Norte, but the county is making
some improvements They are rough
and dusty, and for several miles be-
fore reaching Grants Pass they are
cut up by the heavy traffic of motor
trucks hauling lumber and other
freight. On the road to Medford it
is better, but dusty. Even through
the orchards of the Rogue River Val
ley and right up to the wonderful
little city of Medford they are not
sprinkled.
Medford, however, has set the
pace in the matter of good streets.
With a population of about $4,000
she has 1la miles of paved streets.
And her buildings and other improve
ments are in keeping with the
streets. She could we'll be copied as
model for other cities.
The run down to Ashland is over
roads that would be excellent II they
were s9rinkled or oiled, but this will
be part of Oregon's state highway,
and the dust Nuisance will be abol-
ished. The town of Ashland, smaller
than Medford by half, also has sey-
eral miles of paved streets
Those southern Oregon towns are
mighty enterprising in the matter OF
street paving. Grants Pass has a
beautiful boulevard, and Central
Point has her main street paved All
these cities have net electroliers to
light their business sections, and in
some they extend into the residence
districts.
Ashland is home town and must
be delight to her residents. The
idea that she is just a railroad di-
vision town is quickly dispelled on
arrival there. Here is a highly in
tellectual community, too, and she
supports very picturesque natural
park, of which her people are justly
proud.

CHURCH ADVERTISING.

The Christian Science denomina-
tion and the followers of Pastor Rus
sell are setting the pace for denomi-
national advertising. The Taberna-
Gle Bible Study Society of Brooklyn
has a regular advertising contract
with the Tidings, at the same rate
paid by other advertisers, and the
Christian Science people have inaug-
urated systematic campaign by hav-
ing their annual lectures printed in
full in the newspapers at the regular
advertising rates.
This is an age of advertising and
lfhese denominations have discovered
that an audience to hear their doc
trines expounded is as important as
a good preacher. This audience they
get through the press.
The secular newspapers do not,
and ought not, play any faorites be-
tween Christian denominations.
Every secular newspaper should
stand solidly and always for the
moral uplift of its community, but it
has no business with denominational-
ism. That is a matter which should
be handled by denominational pa
pers.
We have said this much on church
advertising because denominational
rivalry has raised some criticism
against the press for giving so much
space to Pastor Russell and Christian
Science, not knowing that the news
papers were occupying only the very
proper place of an advertising me-
dium. 1t is not the place of a news
paper to say who is right in his
phase of Christian doctrine, but to
hold its columns open to all on the
same terms.

Prehistoric Monsters in America.

Los Angeles county, California, is
to the fore with the discovery of the
remains of a prehistoric monster
larger than any previously found in
other parts of the world. 1t is inter-
esting as confirming so many recent
ly discovered evidences of the exist
ence at one time of giant mammals
in America. Only last week at Farm
ington, Mass, some workmen dig
ging a trench for a water system
unearthed the perfect skeleton of a
mastodon of huge dimensions. The
remains of the monster have been
examined by Prof. Charles Schushert
of the chair of paleontology at Yale
and by Prof. Luther of Trinity Col
lege, and both pronounce them to
be genuine. Read in the light of
the recent finding of camel bones in
Alaska it would seem as though pal
eontological history is being written
at rather rapid rate these days in
America.

THE CHILDREN'S FAIR.

Like every enterprise promoted by
Ashland women, the Children's Fair
was a bowling success both from
financial and entertainment stand
point. Everyone was pleased and
surprised at the result. Adult ad-
mission was 20 cents and the show
was worth twice the price of admis-
sion. Children paid 10 cents to get
in and wanted to attend every ses-
sion, both afternoon and evening.
Almost a thousand people attended
Saturday night. When the Ashland
women provide an entertainment
their first consideration is to give
the audience their moneys worth.
There is never an intimation of graft
in what they undertake. Everybody
has confidence in the result when the
women back an enterprise, and why
should they not have confidence, for
the women of Ashland have never
lCNOluCu a Oh
ing from cleaning the park grounds
to managing a fair. We wish as
much could be said of the men of
Ashland. If the same harmony of
action could be establise among the
men, the same amount of energy in
spired, the same good judgment ex-
ercised as prevails among the women,
Ashland would have no ground for
feeling blue, because such unanimity
and spirit would make Ashland the
foremost town in the valley in two
years. There is too much hair-split-
ting, jealousy and crouch among
Ashland men. Big things are not
accomplished save by unanimous ac-
ton, confidence and determination
to do.

HERE COMES THE BREAD.

At the Three States good roads
convention at Eureka, Cal, the It'd
ings editor was elected secretary,
and, as is the custom on such occa-
sions, speech from him was called
for. AS he was on the program for
a speech later he did not feel at lib
erty to say many words a that time,
but he did take occasion to say that
he came from the spot where there
was the best twelve e-months-in-the-
year climate to be found on the
globe, where the biggest apples were
raised, where the most luscious pears
were picked, where the finest people
lived and where the best peaches on
earth were canned. The delegates
applauded and, as we supposed, al
lowed these words to slip out of theii
ears, as utterances OF an over.
enthusiast, and spend themselves as
the echo dies. Not SO, however

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

Writing Home,

Writing Home.
The following is a true incident
that came under our observation and
may be. suggestive to some:
A young man employed in a city
had not written home in four
months, not even to his mother. His
mother reproached him bitterly for
his neglect; so did his sister. They
lived in the country on a farm, and
his letters were an event of their
lives. you ought to be ashamed of
yourself to treat your relatives like
that" said lady to him. "Well, l
know | ought, at least l suppose
ought; but you see it's like this:
I've been here in town three years.
l work as hard as 1 can and watch
every opportunity to better myself
honestly, and | really think l am
getting on. l need something cheer
full and tightening to my life out of
work hours. But, if you will believe
me, in all the three years I've been
here I've never once had a letter
from home which did not contain
bad news or doleful and depressing
thoughts that made me blue for days.
It's got so I dread to open a letter
with the home postmark upon it..
Evarv ita,o of d;oaocoo tbof offoo+e
any of the family, even to a tooth
ache, is poured into me. Every let
ter is full of moaning about poverty
or the failure of crops, the quarrel
someness of this or that neighbor,
the dread of mortgage. on the farm,
the creeping of age and helplessness
of my mother and father, and threat
ened blindness of old Greatuncle Je-
hosiphat, the fear that brother Ned
is taking 20 drink or that sister Mary
is going to marry that no account
Tom Bradley. If there is nothing
else there's gathering up of all the
scandal garbage in the country, and
it's unloaded on me. / can't stand
it any longer Mothers letters are
so doleful and miserable and full of
anxious graveyardy forebodings that
they almost make me laugh some
times in spite of myself That's the
kind of stuff ones family inflicts on
its members who are away from
home Never once anything cheerful
or hopeful or encouraging from any
of them. That's why l stopped writ
ing home"

From quarter least expected comes
this response:
Watsonville, Cal, Sept. 26, 1918.
Mr.. Bert r. Greer, Ashland, Ore:
Remembering your recommendation
! have been anxious to have, say,
three cases of fancy pack Ashland
freestone peaches-say one case
small cans and two cases three
pound cans, but have been unable to
get them through the San Francisco
wholesale houses. l do not like to
bother you with the matter, but my
tooth aches for some of those best
peaches on earth and if you can Sc
cure the order I name let me know
the price and l will advise as to
shipment. If they are not to be OBJ
tanned in Ashland and can be in
Portland, advise. Yours truly, w. r.
Ratcliff."

your bread upon the waters and il
will return after many days"

hand! Wornout hand! God will re-

it, and all heaven will konw the

What storm-tossed ships it brought
in to the pier harbor! Roll
on, everlasting rest, for all the toll

and weary children of God, and
know right well that to join your
hand, at last emancipated for the
struggle, will be the soft hand, the
gentle mand, the triumphant hand of
Him who wipeth away all tears from

History in the Making

involve about 100000 men. Ire
land is in the throes of one of the
worst strikes in its history. Dublin
is in a state of constant riot, owing
very largely, it is alleged, to brutal
methods of suppressing meetings
adopted by the Royal Constabulary.
The accounts furnished by both sides
in the dispute reveal the most de-
plorable conditions, both as to in
juries received and the insufficiency
of food. Japan seems determined to
exact conditions from China which
are decidedly humiliating in their Sc
verify. If China accepts them it will
indicate state of weakness calcu-
lated to inspire the demand for more
concessions, not only by Japan but
by other countries, while if they are
refused Japan may feel tempted to
begin that aggression which would
be the signal for general partition
ing of China. Turkish diplomacy
seems to be winning back a large
slice of the territory lost by Turkish
arms, and Mexico is now talking
more of ballots than of bullets.
Huerta announces that he will not
be a candidate for the presidency,
but that singularly astute person is
embarrassing the Wilson administra-
tion by failing to deny rumors as to
what might happen should a consti-
tutionally elected successor see fit to
resign after Mexico has been recog-
nized by the United States.

Beauty of Cities Has Cash Value.

in damages to the extent of $500 for
each tree destroyed and 81 900 in

Fashionable society is not a pro-

tra-fashionable folks of great wealth
find the constant round of dressing

a few weeks spent in the giddy whirl
they go to some retired country seat,
