accomplished what was perhaps his most
daring feat-he proposed to the only
daughter of a multimillionsiTe, Miss
Ethel Marshall Field.
When he tried to silence the Chinese
guns he had only two hundred bluejack
cts with him. They were thrown back
by immensely superior numbers and
Beatty himself received serious wounds.
When he went to silence the millionatre's
objections he had only one ally-and
married that ally.
Perhaps he married that ally because
he is a very handsome man. Perhaps
there were other reasons why he won
her, for he is such a jolly old sea dog,
anyway. 1t is impossible to help liking
him, and he has friends by the scores.
Even those over whose heads he has
been promOted-and there are many OF
them-bear him no grudge and swear
by him. 1t seems only natural that he
should be so we'll liked and so able to
command-he is so handsome, so strong,
30 resourceful and so fearless.
Like many other good things-fne
horses, good prose and poetry and good
fghters-he comes out of Ireland. His
father before him was a soldier, Captain
D. L. Beatty, Of Borodale county, WeX-
ford.
1t was just forty-three years ago that
Beatty was born. When he was thirteen
years old he entered the navy and as
midshipman put in some time aboard
the royal yacht Victoria and Albert.
The first lieutenant at the time was the
Honorable Stanley Colville. The two
men were destined to meet again.
In 1896 Beatty was serving in the
Mediterranean and was landed with the
naval brigade as second in command
under Colville and did excellent work in
getting gunboats over a troublesome
cataract.
Everybody remarked at the time how

get at France.
When little Marie heard that the
Kaiser's soldiers were on the way she
jumped into her automobile and headed
for the bridge that crossed the river
between her and Prussia. She swung
her car across the bridge and when the
Kaiser's officers came along she stamped
her little foot at them and said: Don't
you dare set foot in my kingdom"
The Kaiser's big, fine looking officers,
were fercely polite.
I'VE are sorry, your highness," said
they, but we have been ordered to pro-
ceed through your kingdom. You need
have nothing to fear from us or our
soldiers and We will pay you every cent
for any damage that may be done"
Poor little Marie stamped her feet.
and shook her finger at the upturned
mustaches OF the officers and told them
Just exactly what mean sort OF villains
she thought they we're. The officers we're
still polite and very, very firm, and in
the end Marie sat down In her auto
mobile weeping in vexation and drove
away. And the Kaiser's soldiers poured
into her lands.
But Marie. when she got to her palace
sat right down and wrote a stinging.

and told him she didn't want anything
more to do with him ever again in her
life, and as for his son-well, his son

There was one thing sure-he could

trainers in the British Isles.

when Mr.. Churchill came into Office he
could not resist a man OF such dash and
courage as Beatty. He made him secre-
tary to the First Lord of the Admiralty.
Beatty is undoubtedly a man of abil-
ity, but don't you think he is rather too
inclined to run risks?" said a colleague
to Churchill.

year he and his ships were entertained
by the Russians at Revel and Kronstsdt
and Immediately afterwards in the Kiel
Canal by the Kaiser. On July 20 King
George Of England called Admiral Beatty

personally invested him with the order
of X c. B. And the next time Beatty
was heard from was in the Helgoland

Colonel DefieS
An Injunction

Copperfield, Ore, Jan. 5.-When
served with an Injunction Saturday
issued by Judge Anderson of the cir
cult court at Baker and which had
been sent here by wire, Col. B. K
Lawson, in charge Of Governor
Vests crusading forces, flouted it.
The injunction sought to restrain
Colonel Lawson from keeping the sa-
looms of Copperfield closed and from
preventing the mayor and council
men of the town from fulfilling their
respective functions.
Immediately after defying the dep
uty who served the injunction,
Colonel Lawson telegraphed Govern
or West asking for immediate rein
forcements of militia.
"I don't want Sheriff Rand to
come up here from Baker and put
me in JAIL" said Colonel Lawson

All the saloonkeepers under arrest
refused Saturday to ship their liquor
and fixtures out of town upon Colonel
Lawson's order, and their stocks
were confiscated. Colonel Lawson
appointed a provisional mayor ant
council, but announced that martha
law would continue

Assist Sheriff

Baker, Ore, Jan. 5.-When the
word reached Baker Saturday that
Governor West had ben appealed to
for additional troops in Copperfield
to prevent Sheriff Rand from carry
ing out the injunctio norder of the
court, offers of persons who wished
to be deputized to accompany the
sheriff to Copperfield began pouring
in. There was talk of obtaining a
special train and advancing on Cop
perfield before the governor would
have time to bring in additional mill
tia. Sheriff Rand, however, said
there would be plenty of time to or
ganize the posse before the train
started for Copperfield Monday.

Hurt Is Manager
Of the Ice Plant

]. G. Hurt on January /, as pre-
viously announced, took the active
management of the Ashland Ice and
Storage Company, succeeding c. w.
Root, who retired after four years
service to take a much-needed rest
after a long life of activity. Mr..
Root, who is well known as one of
the best railway construction en-
gineers on the coast, was for years
connected with the Southern Pacific
and other leading railways Of the
country, and upon leaving them was
selected to succeed Fred Carter as
manager of the Ice and Storage Com
pany. Since the acquisition of the
Medford plant Mr.. Root has had
charge of that business also.
Upon his retirement the stockhold-
ers presented him with a beautiful
watch fob carrying the Knight Tenn
plar emblems on one side and the
Royal Arch Mason emblems on the
other.
j. G. Hurt, who succeeds him in
the management of the two concerns,
as recorder of the city of Ashland
was one of the most efficient in the
history of the city, and undoubtedly
will be equally successful in the
management of the company.

A representative Of the Tidings

the city a few days ago in company
with a gentleman from the middle
west. The visitor expressed himself
as much pleased and declared that
the farm looked the most like home
of anything he had seen since leav-
ing the Mississippi Valley. Mr.. Bill
lings' large barns are up to date and
are we'll stored with fodder; his cat
tie are all Jerseys and are as fine
a looking lot of cattle as can be
found anywhere. His hogs are large
and healthy looking and show Mr..
Billings to be just as successful in
raising stock and managing a farm
as he is in managing a Chautauqua
or handling land deal. Mr.. Bill
lings' fine herd of Shetland ponies
are also an interesting feature of
this most attractive farm.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 5.-"Pay no at

by Governor West to Colonel Lawson
Saturday night. "If any attorney
seeks to harass you put him in JAIL"
was another of the governors orders.
Governor West said he had told
Colonel Lawson to bring all his pris-
oners to Salem if he found such a
course advisable. Colonel Lawson
will be given all the reinforcements
he needs, declared Governor West.

comes that of Charles P. Robertson,
also an assistant cashier of the bank,
who resigns to take an active inter-
est in the Ideal Grocery. He has
purchased an interest in this popular
store and will become actively asso-
ciated with it. Mr.. Mackie, who still
retains an interest in the business,
plans leaving in very short time
for southern California for a stay of
indefinite length. Mr.. Robertson
will take his place in the store,
where he will be glad to meet the
many friends he has made in the
bank. Mr.. Robertson has been ex-
ceptionally popular and will without
doubt prove a valuable and success
full man in his new sphere. For the
present there will be no one selected
to succeed him.
Mr.. McNair and Mr.. McCallen are
not only successful business men but
also expert bookkeepers, as is Miss
Multi, and believe for the present
they can handle the work of the
bank. The annual meeting of the
bank will be held January 13, at
which time a board of directors will
be elected and new officers chosen.
There has been a vacancy in the di-
Tectorate and the presidency of the
bank since the death of Mr.. McCallen,
