The Southern Pacific
Interest inthe Springs

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has been behind the Ash
land mineral springs from the start.
1t is still behind it and is willing to
put it's advertising force behind the
project.
The railroad believes in it for the
passenger traffic it will produce. 1t
will be a big thing for the railroad
only if the people are attracted to
Ashland in large numbers. And If
the springs draws them it has done
what the people of Ashland hoped
it would do.
Suppose that tomorrow the people
of Ashland should, by failing to vote,
allow the charter amendment to be
defeated, thus saying by their votes,
I'VE have lost faith in the enter
prise" What would the Southern
Pacific people think of us? One
thing is sure, no power on earth
could ever induce that railroad to
become interested in another Ash
land project. The interest OF Ash
land and the, railroad is identical in
this springs development. The rail
road has rendered every assistance to
the springs water commission that il
was able to render and stands ready
to help lis through to splendid sue
cess.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, November II
is the hour of Ashland's opportunity
The results of this election will de
termine whether Ashland forges Il
the front, in spite of few sleep!
croakers, or whether she admits he
domination by back-steppers ant
sinks hopelessly into a comatos'
state.

Ashland High School Is
Victor in Is to O Game

Hill and Lilly throughout the game
showed the local boy to be far in
the lead. After several minutes of
play the ball was carried to the Wis
itors twenty-yard line and Lilly
speeded around left end for the sec
ond touchdown, but Delsman failed
goal Ashland kicked to Medford
and Sit ha sudden squirt Medford
gained first down three successive
times, but were held on their forty
yard line and the referees whistle
brought the game to a close.
A very unique stunt was pulled off
by the Ashland students between the
halves when funeral procession led
by Yell Leader Abbott, attired in a
swallow-tail coat and a high silk hat,
marched out on the field. Four pail
bearers and a black casket followed
the color-bearer and her banner
which bore the inscriptions, Med
ford at Rest" and Gone But Not
Forgotten" Then came "Medford's
goat" draped in maroon and black
and inclosed in a Medford football
| jersey. The procession marched tC
the center of the field, where a few
yells were given and six pigeons
bearing crimson and white ribbons
were released. The proceedings were
very effective and it got Medford'!
goat. Thier section of the bleach
ers was decidedly quiet for severa
minutes.
The big game was preceded by one
between the East and West Sid'
teams, the latter winning from thei
opponents by the score of 19 to

The following letter from Smith,
Emery & Co., who have so far di-
rected the springs water commission
in the practical engineering and
chemical features of the enterprise,
is self-eXplanatory:
San Francisco, Nov. 10, 1914.
Springs Water Commission, Ashland,
Ore.
Gentlemen: We have just sent
you the following telegram which we
herewith desire to confirm:
One of our best engineers leaves
Sunday for the east. viii make
thorough investigation of Saratoga
Springs development"
We have been prompted to this ac-
tion by publications which we have
read in the Ashland Tidings and
Ashland Record regarding the work
of the state reservation commission
at Saratoga Springs, New York.
While we naturally feel flattered
to find that the findings of the Sara
toga Springs commission are almost
identical with those of your commits
sion and Simth, Emery & Co., we feel
that if there is any advantage to be
gained for your city by any investi-
cations which have been made by the
Saratoga Springs commission, 1t Is
due you that we go thoroughly into
the matter, and we have therefore
detailed one of our most experienced
engineers to make the investigation
1t would appear from careful pc
rusal of the 1914 report OF the Sara
toga Springs commission and the
published letters of Mr.. Charles G
Anthony. that they have been more
vitally concerned regarding the ques.
ton of medical baths" and the bot
Ting of the waters" than in any oi
the other features of the develop
ment, and that a large part of theil
investigations has been made alon'
those lines. These are both ques
tions which have not yet been seri
i.ously. considered by your commission
, and cannot be, at this time, unde
the plan of development which
, has been practical for you to follow

Ashland high school interfered
with Medford championship
hopes last Saturday afternoon when
the local team won from the fast
Medford aggregation by 3 to in a
thrilling football game. The teams
we'll we'll matched and with both
schools in the game to win all the
time a fine article of ball was put
up, and the 900 spectators who wit
messed the contest saw without doubt
the best game to have been played
between the two schools for years.
Medford brought a confident
bunch to Ashland Saturday and it
took sixty long minutes of solid play
to convince either the hackers or the
team that Ashland had them out
classed, for even in the last quarter,
when the score stood 13 to 0 against
them, the Maroon and Black rose
from their esats and chanted their
team back into the fray and Medford
again rushed into the melee for some
fine gains, only to be repulsed when
they reached Ashland's forty-yard
line. They promise to come back
with a vengeance in Medford next
Saturday.
The first quarter began when Hill
of Medford kicked to Dews, but
Hungry" couldn't quite reach the
pigskin and the oval rolled down the
field, only to be recovered by the
Red and White. The honors were
nearly even during the quarter, both
teams making good gains through
the use of line smashes and end runs
Medford mixed few successful short
passes in with straight football
while Ashland depended almost en-
tirely on the ability of Delsman tC
smash the visitors line and Lilly anC
Spencer's gains around the Medfort
ends. A number of costly fumble'
cost Ashland score in this quarter
After the change of goals Ashland
had the advantage of the down hill
push which Medford enjoyed the frs
quarter, and after several frs
downs had been gained Spence
finally plunged thruogh right tackle
for a touchdown. Delsman KICKED
goal. Pelouse gained the kickoff
and ran the ball back fifteen yards
but the half finally ended with tn,
ball on Medford forty-yard line.
Delsman kicked off to Plymale II
the second and the battle was ol
again. The teams were so wei
matched that no score could b
gained for either side, although Pc
louise, for Medford, attempted tw
drop kicks, both of whicW fell ia
short. Medford worked the fofwar
pass for big gains in this quartz
and the brilliant offensivesYork O
seeley, Pelouse and PlymaIl o1 th
visitors was sensational, althoug
their work was easily equaled b
Lilly and Spencer on the offapse an

First Through
Car BY Panama

Emil Peil received a carload OF
wire from Pittsburg Saturday via the
Panama canal and saved in freight
about II cents a rod over the old
freight rates. From Pittsburg to
Portland it cost 40 cents per hundred
and from Portland to Ashland So
cents. Under the old rates by rail
the freight would have been about
1886 in car lots, making saving Of
about one-third.
II this proves true in the general
run of freight the canal will be very
popular within few months, espec-
tally on the heavier class Of freight.

Mayor JOhnSOn'S
Message To Voters

While it would seem unnecessary
to instruct the people or urge them
as to tomorrow's election, an unusual
condition really exists that may just
ify some words of encouragement
that people may not be sidetracked
or misled. We have no vindictive
language even for the men, if such
there be, who for selfish reasons OPP
pose the issuance of bonds to de-
velop our springs. Nothing can be
won by saying things to hurt some
one personally. Ashland's only re-
sources are climate, specially beauti-
full natural surroundings, located on
great highway, splendid mountain
water and surrounded by innumer-
able valuable mineral springs. There
are very unusual and vaborable con-
ditions. There is no question as to
what Ashland people ought to be or
can be, but it's up to the people to
/ give the city a chance. In the de-
velopment of our resources some
mistakes no doubt will be made.
There always have been some errors
evident in every undertaking. es-
pecially great ones. There always
will be. We admire a community
that makes some mistakes in an ef'
fort to do something. 1t is the same
as with an individual. The only man
or community who makes no mis-
takes is the one who does nothing
and yet one great mistake is theI
made-that of doing nothing. So We
should condemn no proposition les
some mistake or error should occur
On this proposition or style of reas
oning we would not have had oul
splendid city water system, now pay
ing a clear profit to the city of sew
eral thousand dollars per annum
There were some mistakes made, anC
. it might be mentioned also that man!
people raised their voice against /
at the time.
This step about to be taken to i'm
prove our only real resources is al
, important one and no one should lie
, petty prejudices or personal animos
, ity dominate at the ballot box. 1t

Ashland May Lose Her
Valuable Mineral Springs

position is a supremely selfish one
and if he had his way Ashland would
wake up Wednesday morning and
find it had lost the five mineral
springs it now controls and would
be out at least one hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Silver is working for his own
interest, not the interest of Ashland,
and the citizens should not be fooled
by him.
VOTE 100 x YES tomorrow and
hold the valuable springs Ashland
now has. Let Silver take care OF
himself.

EXPLANATORY.

1t has been very difficult to regulate
matter for the paper the last few
weeks. We never know until the day
We go to press what amount of ad-
vertising We will be expected to han
Gle. Sometimes there is none. Then
it will come. During these war times
We have been working only a small
force and when several pages of ads
come in on press day is causes Us to be
late in order to get them in type.
WAen none come We run short Of
reading matter. 1t has been very un-
satisfactory and has caused US to be
late and sometimes to miss the even
ing mail, but We cant afford to Urn
down an ad. This is said by way of
explanation and We hope our subscrlb-
ers will bear with US if the paper
sometimes is late.

WHY DISCRIMINATE?

We have from time to time SAID
something about the unreasonable, un-
just and inequitable postal laws, or
postal regulations made by the de-
partment at Washington, which nave
the same force as law. Of course 1t
does no good to refer to these matters
unless We had some congressman who
would be sufficiently interested in
having equitable and sensible and
Just laws and regulations, but some
how We feel better after having de-
livered ourselves of the feelings which
we have.
For instance, in order to get the
rate allowed by the parcel post the
package must weigh four pounds. AS
a practical illustration of the ineQual-
ity, We sent by parcel post one thous-
and circular letters to Columbia for
"A cents. We had one thousand small
hand bills which we wanted to send to
Prosperity. the weight, we believed,
was 40 ounces, and the charge was
20 cents. If it had weighed 81 ounces
or more we suppose the charge would
nave been about 10 or Is cents. But
in addition to that, to show how the
laws initiate against the publisher,
if this package of 40 ounces had been
merchandise, shoes or any kind o:
merchandise, the government would
have charged the merchant seven
cents to haul it to Prosperity, whereas,
the newspaper printer had to pay 20
cents for it.
We would like to have some of our
congressmen or some of the officials
who make these regulations, explain
the reason for this discriminate n.
These hand bills were as much ur
merchandise as the shoes or hats or
anything else sold by any merchant.
Why should it be worth more or
SHOULD the government charge more
to transport few hand bills than it
would the same size and weight pack
age of merchandise We would like
to have some explanation of this dis
elimination
