Christmas Color
In Many Stores

Christmas cheer and color has
manifested itself in many of the
stores about town. The East Side
Pharmacy is resplendent with ever
greens, Christmas bells and Oregon
grape. Their stock of toys and
Christmas goods are ranged attrac-
lively for the occasion. The tops of
the drug shelves are frescoed with
evergreen sprays and tinsel, the
whole making a very festive and
beautiful effect.
The interior of ]. H. McGees dry
goods establishment presents a pret-
ty appearance to the observer Cot
ton bolls, greenery, ETC., set off an
already neat, model and up-to-date
store.
Rose Brothers confectionery store
is full of beautiful Christmas boxes
and decorations. Exquisite potted
plants aid the general effect greatly.
Holmes Brothers are living up to
their usual standard of artistic deco
rating this year. In the center OF
the store is arranged a pretty display
of hand-painted china, surrounded
by the red and green evidences OF
Christmas.

Zudora, that film which has been
delighting thousands of people all
over the nation, will start at the Vim
ing Theatre Saturday night. The
play is written by Harold MacGrath,
that versatile novelist who wrote the
Million Dollar Mystery. This new
production of Zudora he himself con-
siders to be much better than his
first attempt. He sent telegram to
Prof. Vining which we print below:
What / have seen of the first
three episodes of the film Zudora eX-

Miss Snow, who starred in the Mil
lion Dollar Mystery as the countess,
and Mr.. Crews. the reporter in the
same picture, will help to make this
film take with the Ashland people.
The story OF zudora will be run in

Klamath Lake
Is Ice Coated

Klamath Northwestern: Upper
Klamath Lake is now covered with
ice and boating on this body of water
is thing of the past, probably until
spring.
This means that all mail for north
ern points is now being carried by
stage, the firts trip having been made
last Friday. Friday the mail boat
operated by Calkins & Hamilton
made its last trip up for the season.
Captain Calkins had to break ice
with the bow of his boat for over ten
miles.
The stage carrying mail for Fort
klamath and other parts of the coun-
try north will leave klamath Falls
every morning and return the same
day. 1t will go as far north as Modoc
Point, where it will be met by the
stage leaving Fort klamath each
morning. This stage from Fort
klamath. meeting the one from here,
will also make the round trip on the
north end of the line.

Boys Can See
Santa at Butler S

"Marvelously wrought" is an apt
expression for the novelty candy win
dow displayed by Buffers confection-
cry today. 1t especially finds much
notice from children, as well as from
grown-ups who have an eye for skill
ful work. Here amidst a sea of
Christmas candy stands a pretty
chimney, and over its edge old Santa
Is climbing, dressed in his customary
costume of red with white edging his
garb. The chimney is fashioned SO
that the observer would think It was
constructed of small bricks and NOR
tar, while old Santa Claus has the
frosty whiskers, the heavy mittens,
the loaded sack over his shoulders,
the big boots, and everything com
plete. This Is all made OF REAL
candy, contrary to the idea that one
who looks at the window gets. II is
30 real that It makes one think that
1t is a Santa doll, dressed in warm
woolly clothes.
This is a real triumph for e. NJ
Butler, the man who put the can"
In candy. Passers-by should note this
window, for such artistic work is few
and far between.

NUMBER 50
Mayor Johnson Is
Reelected to Office

Mayor o. H. Johnson and City Re-
corder c. H. Gillette were re-chosen
to fill their respective offices, by the
people of Ashland, at the city cleo
tion Tuesday. In the first ward II.
p. Cornelius was reelected to the
council and in the second p. l.. Ash
craft was again successful. In the
third A. j. Biegel defeated w. H.
Gowdy for the chair of Councilman
Beaver S. Permission won over II.
o. Frohbach for park commissioner.
The vote went strongly against sa-
looms as usual. The publicity tax
measure won out by safe majority
likewise the measure to extend the
citys boundaries on the west.
Mayor Johnson made no campaign
and his majority is much less than
two years ago when a fierce cam
paign was waged between him and
E. d. Briggs. c. w. Banta made a
strong campaign and its results show
up to his credit in his vote of 597 as
against 725 for Mayor Johnson. The
mayors majority is 1913.
The vote polled, as shown by tho
ballot on recorder, was Alb, which
probably represents the total number
OF voters who visited the polls. ut
1898 votes were cast on the liquor
issue and but 1892 for mayor.

Kittredge Gives
A Few Figures

An interesting compilation of the
cost of Jackson county pavement has
been made by Assistant State High
way Engineer Kittredge as follows:
Concrete pavement from Central
Point to poor farm:
Cost $128,747.O1.
Cost per square yard $1.47.
Cost per mile S13,S42.
OF this sum the state has paid
$34, ,039.24 and the county $94,7O7,-
II. Nine and one-quarter miles
paved.
Thickness of pavement approxi-
mately six inches.
Asphaltic concrete from poor farm
to Ashland hill.
Cost $52,187.54.
Cost per square yard $1.27h.
Cost per mile $11,964.6O.
Thickness of pavement approx
mately five inches. Four and one
quarter miles pavel.
If these pavements were compared
on the basis of equal thickness then
the cost of concrete as laid under
state supervision would be $13,S4G
per mile while the asphaltic concrete
would be $13,950 per mile.

Conductor May
Have Smallpox

Sacramento Bee: Fifty-six passen-
gers, including many San Francis
cans, on the Oregon Express, which
arrived at the Oakland Mole Sunday
afternoon, found themselves in the
clutches of the police and the health
authorities of Oakland and were fore
IDLY vaccinated before they were al
lowed to go to their homes or hotels.
Women with babies were especial
ly obdurate. But the threat of ten
days quarantine brought them all to
the vaccine point.
This action was taken because of
the supposed illness from smallpox
of Conductor Scheer, who had charge
of the train between Roseburg and
Ashland, Ore. He was removed from
the train at Ashland. The day coach
where he sat was fumigated and the
passengers were herded into two rear
coaches. The Oakland officials were
notified to take proper action by
Donald H. Currie, secretary of the
state board of health.
One woman with baby cried and
said that she would rather be quar-
antined than have her baby vacci-
mated. Another woman with little
boy refused absolutely to have him
touched. She held out until the last
DR.. Gillihan and his assistants took
her away in an automobile, but she
was allowed to go untouched.
DR.. Gillihan and his aids vaccinat
ed every one on his or her arm
Many of the women objected to this
They did not want to run the risl
of having the arm swell and disfig
ure them temporarily. They asked
to be vaccinated ON the leg. But the
doctor said that 1t was better to have
it on the arm, and had his own way
I'VE did not even see the conduct
or and did not know what had hap
pened," said Mrs. H. S. Hatch, 44S!
Geary street, in describing her ex
perienceS. Lots of the passenger
got off the train at Sacramento anC
other places. If we had known wha
was coming at Oakland we coul
have escaped in the same way"

Sugar BeetS
Very Profitable

Editor Tidings: In Mondays pa
per notice an article taken from
the Medford Sun in regard to a beet
sugar factory in this valley. That is
the best thing | have seen since l
have lived here.
Before coming to Ashland we lived
at Loveland, Colo, where the first
beet sugar factory in northern Colo
rado was built, costing S1,000,000.
Now there are four Others within a
radius OF perhaps thirty miles and
they have been doing business for
several years.
The factory at Loveland is a great
thing for that part of the country.
1t gives employment to a lot OF men
at good wages in the factory, besides
the farmers are making money.
A beet crop brings from $50 to
$40 per acre. 1t depends upon how
good crop is raised. The beet tops
that are left in the field are worth
50 to SO per acre 70 rcattle and
sheep. The beet pulp makes cheap
beef and mutton, but is not good for
hogs.
Until sold my farm in Colorado
| rented part of II for raising beets,
but gave my attention more to feed
ing cattle and sheep on the pulp and
alfalfa. / believe we have some
splendid beet land here in this val
ley, II we get 80 we can irrigate 1t,
as beets require considerable water.
II we can get a factory say at Med
ford 1t will help the farmers and all
lines Of business, for when the farm
ers make money they are sure to
spend more. a... ....r
You can count me a booster for
sugar factory every time, .o, j.

Gold Hill Girl
May Name Boat

After nearly six months search
throughout the United States to find
a descendant of Admiral David Bush
nell to christen the submarine to be
named after him, an Oregon girl has
been located and her name has been
submitted to Secretary Daniels as
candidate for the honor, says the
Medford Sun. She is Miss Jesamine
Bushnell, daughter of James H.
Bushnell, residing on fruit ranch
at Gold Hill. Mr.. Bushnell is be-
lieved to be a descendant of the fam
Gus Connecticut admiral, the invent
or of the submarine.
Miss Bushnell is the direct de-
scendant of q Connecticut family of
Bushnells, who trace their antece-
dents back to David Bushnell, an ad-
miral in the Revolutionary war. The
genealogy and family records were
compiled nearly sixty years ago by
James Bushnell Of New York, an in
innate friend of James G. Blaine
These records have been sent for to
establish the record of the Oregon
girl, with whom Secretary Daniels is
in communication.
Secretary Daniels writes that down
to the present no direct descendant
has been found. There are several
claimants, but their relationship was
not established.
The submarine is to be christened
early in January at the Seattle navy
yard, and efforts are being made to
hurry Identification of the Oregon
girl.
Miss Bushnell was born in Florida,
but her fathers people are traced to
a direct Connecticut lineage.

Large Lemons
Are Grown Here

That lemons can be grown in the
Rogue River Valley was successfully
demonstrated here this year by C. p.
Good, at his lot on Patrick street, on
the borders of Ashland. He has a
young lemon tree which came into
bearing this year for the first time,
and produced perfect fourteen
ounce lemon, several times larger
than those which are purchased at
the stores. The other lemons that
were on the tree he took off so that
the small tree could mature it. The
big lemon will be processed by H. 0.
Frohbach and sent to the exposition.

in their enclosure at the back, and
tables surrounded by beautifully
gowned women and well-dressed men
were arranged a the sides.
The Yama Yama Girls-Miss Dor
othy Conner, Miss Josephine Root,
Mrs, Edgar s. Hafer, Miss Caroline
Andrews and Mrs. Hamilton Patton,
made an impression on the audience
Their unique costumes and their
graceful movements were extraordi-
nary. Miss Dorothy Conner was a
marvel of graceful agility and looked
charming in her white clown suit,
which, as several remarked, would
make most becoming ultra-fashion-
able style.
Mr.. Billie Morgan next starred in
selection from the opera. "A China
Shop" a Chinese love song, made
lively by troupe of pretty dancers.
Tsong Sing was the title of his num-
Der.
humorous hits were brought in
upon different citizens in the town,
such as refusing to cash check
which had been won from G. F. Bill
lings in a game of poker, a call for
Henry Provost, little joke on H. G.
Enders, q. J. Kaiser and others.
Billie Briggs name, used in regard
to the high cost of loving" was
really quite appropriate. Cassie" 4"
by Fletcher Fish, and BLOW the
Smoke Away" by the unnamed
widow, constituted other numbers
that were exceedingly good which
took place between the dancing num-
bers.
| All of the newest society dances
were performed with incredible skill
l-dances such as the Castle Gavotte,
Butterfly Hesitation Waltz, Lulu
Fado, Soul Kiss Hesitation, Maxixe,
Dolly Warden, lie Poivrier and the
Castle Polka were given. Classic
Greek dancing, executed by Miss Car
oline Andrews, drew special atten-
tion to this talented young lady.
/ The evenings entertainment end
ed with a rousing finale, Its a
Long, Long Way to California" a
lparody on the Irish Tipperary."
,sFhe whole play was characterized
BY professional touch. and there
was not a spectator but what was
of the opinion that the production
was better than the majority of the
musical comedy and vaudeville
troupes that play on the Pacific
coast. Many we're of the opinion
that good house could be gained at
a second presentation, and all hoped
that this talented company of Med
ford people would arrange something
to give in the future.
Perhaps one of the greatest things
that made the play such a success
were the elegant gowns worn by the
ladies, and the other costumes pc
culiar to the different parts, de-
signed by Mrs. Lincoln Mccormack.
The business staff was as follows:
Mrs. ]. F. Reddy, manager; C. E.
Gates, treasurer; II. wilmington,
stage director; Harry Howell, musi-
cal director. Production was under
the personal direction of Holbrook
Wilmington, assisted by Alfred S.
Carpenter and H. Chandler Egan.
The orchestra was exceptionally fine.
Ed Andrews was the director of the
orchestra in the cabaret.

Rose Society Vaudeville
EXCiteS Great Enthusiasm

The Rose Society Vaudeville, CIV
en- by the Rose Society of Medford
at the Vining Theatre Tuesday night,
was a decided success from every
standpoint, and was considered by
all to be the best performance that
has ever been witnessed by Ashland
people. The house was crowded to
the doors. Many Medford people
came up over the Pacific highway
and were a part of the spectators.
The Page orchestra furnished the
music.
The program specified the appear
ance of the Rogue River Pippins for
the opening number of the evenings
entertainment, but owing to an auto
accident the participants in this
failed to arrive, much to the disap-
pointment of the hearers. Neverthe-
less, their disappointment soon was
dispelled and delight took it's place,
for as the first number Miss Venita
Hamilton and Billie Morgan scored
decided hit with a series of novelty
melodies, and besides showed some
real artistic finish in their presenta-
tion of combination solos and duos.
The Spaghetti Sisters, next to ap-
pear before the drop curtain. won
burst of applause from their duet,
"On the Shores of Sunny Italy" and
favored their admirers with an en-
core. Tambourine accompaniment,
/ together with their gypsy costumes,
added greatly to the selection.
Fletcher T. Fish and Miss Clyda
Lois Schott followed the Spaghetti
Sisters with dancing and impersona-
tions, in the former featuring the
/ Broadway Glide, Connecticut Glide
and the Aviation Hesitation, and in
the latter presented Auntie Doleful,
or the Cheerful Visitor. Their dane
ing was full of exquisite grace, while
the little skit was carried off very
cleverly. Miss Schott and Mr.. Fish
are well known among the dancing
circles for being proficient in this
line.
My Melancholy Baby. a vaudeville
song sketch by Miss Caroline An
drews and C. H. Mittleberger. was
another of the successes of the pro-
gram. Miss Andrews, while possess
ing grace and finishedness, also has
a fine voice, and she. together with
Mr. Mittleberger, were enthusiastic
ally received and encored.
The farce-comedy in one act, en-
titled A Proposal Under Difficulties,
was a scream. Mr.. Ed Staples OF
Ashland played the important part
of Hicks, the chauffeur His acting
occasioned much comment. The
name of the farce amply explains the
theme of the piece. 1t might be we'll
called an all-star cast c. E. Gates
and Fletcher Fish as the leading
masculine characters, and Miss Jose
phine Root in the leading feminine
role, kept the audience in constant
uproar with their wit and repartee.
Miss Roots composure and natural
ness doubled the effect of her part.
Mrs. E. B. Hanley in her part as the
maid who heightened the difficulties
for the proposal, through her detail
work was one of the pillars of the
comedy.
The second installment or part of
the play was a cabaret scene. Here
the stage was arranged as a fashion
able restaurant, the orchestra being
