TARIFF BILL SOON
PRESIDENT
Anticipated That Few Sweep
ing Changes Will Be Made
by Committee.

TEW changes, and hardly any Of
H these sweeping in character, it
is anticipated, will be made by
the committee on conference Of
both houses now considering the tariff
bill as amended and passed by the SEN
ate. 1t is expected that the measure
in it's final form will go through the
house and senate without much dis
cussion after consideration by the COM
mittee and will go to the president for
his signature before the end of the
month.
While the senate made over GOO
amendments to the bill as it passed the
house, which are now under considera-
ton by the conferees, they do not vi
tally change the complexion of the
measure as it came to them. Chair
man Oscar w. Underwood Of the house
ways and means committee, who heads
the managers on the part Of the house
and who is the dominant figure in the
committee on conference, has express
ed his general approval Of the bill as
amended by the senate. He is quoted
as saying that the amendments are
not too radical and that many Of them
give force to Democratic principles
more completely than the measure as
first reported by himself. For this rea-
son it is freely predicted that practi-
cally all of the senate additions to the
free list will be accepted outright by
the house, while all reductions in
rate by the senate where differences
arise will be compromised at point
about halfway between the house and
the senate bills

Two Men Hurt
When Horses Fall

A. r. Brown of the Ashland Meat
Company is confined to his bed as
the result of serious accident which
might very easily have resulted in his
death. While coming down Oak
street horseback last Sunday his ami
NAL reared and fell backwards. Mr..
Brown was unable to clear himself OF
his stirrups and was pinned under the
animal-the saddle-horn bruising him
badly both internally and externally
just below the pit of the stomach.
Had the horn struck him few inches
higher it would very probably have
caused his death.
Another accident of similar nature
occurred to Ed Martin one day last
week and he too is laid up at home,
though his injury consists merely OF
a badly bruised leg. His horse
slipped sideways and pinned one OF
Mr.. Martins legs under it, badly
wrenching his knee and rendering the
calf of his leg black and blue.

comes out where it has beautiful
views of the mountains and valleys.
In locating the highway the en-
gineers have taken into consideration
the matter of water for horse and
automobile and there will be several
watering troughs along the line, to
which pure spring water will be
piped.

cuts on that side than on this.
Taken altogether, the route will
be one of great beauty and economy
of construction and use. The noun
tains are crossed at an elevation of
$500 feet, or 375 feet higher than
that attained by the railroad, this be-
ing necessary from the fact that there
are no tunnels in the wagon road,
while one tunnel mile or more in
length passes under the crest Of the
mountain on the railroad.
Mr.. Kettridge states that the route
from this city to the Barron ranch,
above the junction of the falls and
the California roads, has not yet been
determined upon. 1t is the fixed pol
icy of the Oregon highway commits
sion not to establish grade crossings
outside of the limits of cities, where
speed of both trains and autos can
be regulated. This eliminates the
proposition of going out the Boule-
ward and then turning down past the
F. c. Homes ranch, in all probabili-
ties, Mr.. Kettridge states. He also
states that the proposition of contin-
uing along the hillside on the grade
of the Boulevard has not yet been
investigated, but will be given proper
consideration. The engineers are
now working between Talent and
Ashland and are endeavoring to avoid
a grade crossing near this city.

VIM. C.. Bartlett
Died on Monday

William Charles Bartlett died early
Sunday morning as the result of
formation of blood clot in an artery
following a serious operation for re-
lief of .abscess of the kidney. Less
than year ago Mr.. Bartlett was op-
Grated upon after having suffered
from the same malady until his
weight was reduced from 200 pounds
to 1875 pounds. Following this first
operation he regained his original
weight and remarkably robust state
of health. Some weeks ago there
were symptoms of the return of the
malady and Mr.. Bartlett decided to
have a second operation while his
health was comparatively good
there being strong probabilities that
it would restore him permanently
The unfortunate result of the opera
tion came as great shock to the
many Ashland people who knew him.
OCCCdSCu was DOlh dl SllHlOA,
Michigan, the thirteenth of December,
1876, and was therefore within few
days OF thirty-seven years of age. Mr..
Bartlett came to this part of Oregon
about five years ago and for two
years followed the profession of rail
roading. For the past three years
he has been engaged in operating the
Wagner Springs ranch southeast OF
Ashland. Fortunately for his widow
and little siX-year-old daughter he
has kept up his affiliation with the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmer
and from this order they will receive
$500.

funeral service was held from theiI
temple, under the impressive ritua
of the order, after which Father
Moissant performed the last rites ol
the Catholic church. A large con
course of sympathizing friends were
present to pay their past respects tc
him whose generous life reached out
to cheer and help the suffering and
needy. The remains were laid tt
rest in Mountain View Cemetery.

Public Market
To Be Housed

That the Ashland public market
will be housed in the near future
seems a certainty. This will doubt
less be by means of temporary
building for the present winter.
At the meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday night Mr.. Pittinger, on
behalf of the producers, appealed to
the club to take some action in that
direction, either by assisting in hav-
ing the present market grounds in
part rooted, or by the securing of
some other building. On motion the
secretary of the club was instructed
to write a letter to the city council,
in behalf of the club, recommending
that some action be at once taken.
The city council Tuesday evening
took up the matter, the recommends
ton of the Commercial Club and the
possibility of securing two different
buildings being before them. A. L.
Young proposed to lease to the city
the building known as the Overland
Garage" on First avenue, and H. G.
Enders offered the Oien carpenter
shop back of the Citizens Banking &
Trust Company building. The three
communications were referred to the

SECRETARY DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE SAYS ASHLAND and The ROGUE

The Commercial Club is in receipt
of the following very interesting and
highly appreciated letter from C. C.
Chapman, secretary of the Oregon
Development League:
Chicago, Nov. 29, 1913.
Ashland Commercial Club, Ashland,
Ore.
Gentlemen: l doubt whether your
organization ever made a better in
vestment in a publicity way than it
has in sending Mr.. d. NJ. Lowe to
represent you in the Oregon exhibit
at the Chicago Land Show.
Mr.. loves samples-so many hav-
ing been grown by himself-were in
themselves such a complete exhibit
of what could be grown on one Ore
gon farm that we rented a special
space at the cost of 1926 in the same
aisle and directly opposite the Ore
gon booth. This was labeled "a One
Farm Exhibit" giving Mr.. loves
name and the location of his farm in
Oregon. This virtually made it an
Ashland and Rogue River Valley
booth.
We probably never will be able to
repeat this again in just this way, al
though it gives us the inspiration to
offer special space to any CONNER
cial organization in any part of the
state who will furnish a one-farm

farmer in attendance.
We think Mr.. loves work has
been invaluable He has been busy
from early morning until late at
night, leaving the booth only long
enough to deliver lectures. He
knows just how to talk to farmers
and nearly all the time has a small
crowd around his booth.
In addition, we have Jackson coun-
ty heavily represented in the main
booth, nearly fifty labels like the en-
closed being placed On Jackson coun-
ty samples-about half of them bear
ing the name of Ashland and half
the name of Medford.
The processed fruit which came
from Jackson county is certainly the
best in the whole show. / do not
think that any other professor has
equaled Mr.. Frohbach's work.
We wish your entire organization
was here to see the Oregon booth and

ENGINEERING WORK WELL DONE
Money Spent in Engineering Has
Been Productive of Economical
Construction and Also of Scenic
Attractions and Good Grades.

Through the courtesy OF Mr.. Nc
DOwell representative of the Ash
land Tidings went over quite por-
tiOn of the survey 'of the Pacific
Highway Tuesday afternoon. The
party, consisting of Mr.. Mcdowell, F.
A. Kettridge, engineer in charge Of
the works, Mr.. Rigg, who will be
with the contractor, B. E. Haney of
Medford, C. G. Matwick of Eagle
Point and B. w. Talcott of the It'd
iAgs, left Ashland on No. 13. At
Ashland there was considerable fog,
but before reaching Stineman the fog
was left behind and the train was
climbing the mountain in the bright
eat of sunshine, while the passengers
were looking back upon the sea of
fog with the hill-tops piercing it like
Islands.
Upon reaching Siskiyou the party
took the back track, following the
line the most of the way to Stineman
and for some distance this side.
Considering the nature of the
country through which the road is to
be constructed the work of grading
has been much simplified by the very
efficient engineering. There is but
enc place where there is any amount

extra charges for the distance) and
tdere Is practically no waste dirt and
very little borrow" work. This is
a remarkably good showing. There
has been some talk. probably emanat-
ing from the disgruntled contractors
who had declared their determination
to get" Major Bowlby, that there had
been money and time wasted in en-
gineering. AS matter of fact, in
mountain work more than one line is
nearly always run before getting the
most economical location, and the ex-
ira expense of engineering is thus
saved many times over in the grad
ing and construction of the road.
The maximum grade at any part
does not exceed per cent and the
maximum curve is a 100-foot radius
On all curves the outside is raised
thus eliminating any tendency to-
ward skidding, and enabling autos to
safely negotiate curves at speed OF
twenty miles per hour.
One feature of the road which
should appeal to all is that there will
not be a grade crossing of any rail.

There will be two overhead cross
