The Bonds
Being Examined

All of the bond data has been COM
piled and forwarded to the New York
attorneys. The springs water COM
mission should have word from them
by the last of this week. In the
meantime it is not certain whether
an election will need to be held to
amend the charter. No living man
can tell what the Ashland city char
ter does provide, or whether all of
it was found at all. More than a
weeks time of the city attorney and
the recorder was expended in getting
it together. Just as will have to be
done in the future every time bonds
are voted unless the council has the
good judgment to have it thoroughly
compiled and codified.
The bond market is opening up
Several attractive issues have beer
marketed during the past two weeks
No doubt by the time the legality is
ascertained the market will be ready
to absorb them.
Should a charter election be needed
it will take about twenty days tC
hold it after the attorneys have is
sued proper instructions.

Polytechnic School
May Reopen Nov. l

According to the latest advice re-
ceived by the Commercial Club, Pro-
fessor Hardy expects to return to
Ashland about November l for the
purpose of taking hold of the busi-
ness college. 1t is the belief of many
that the business courses offered by
the high school will in no way inter
fere with the successful operation OF
the business college under the man
agement of such a man as Professor
Hardy. The Commercial Club
through the local papers, will try tC
keep the people posted as to new de
velopments. We now expect th'
school to be reopened about Novem

County Pioneer
Passes AWaV

Martin Angel, who had been suf-
fering for many months past with
Bright's disease, passed away Thurs
day afternoon, October 10, at the age
of So years, says the Grants Pass
Courier. The funeral services were
held Saturday at 1880 o'clock, at the
Episcopal church of Grants Pass.
In the passing of Martin Angel
there Is lost one of the best known
characters in southern Oregon his
tory. He was born in 1856, the first
male white child to be born in Jack
son county. Following the discovery
of gold in Jackson creek in 1852 the
Angel family was one of the first to
settle in the new Eldorado, locating
donation land claim between Med
ford and Jacksonville, where the
birth of young Martin was celebrated.
During the strenuous pioneer days
the Angel farm was the scene of
many exciting circumstances and
some of the battles of the Rogue river
Indian war were fought around the
Angel home place, the elder Angel
being one of the victims of the lust
for blood of the redskin warriors. He
was shot from ambush, and his body
now rests in the Jacksonville ceme-
terry within a short distance of where
he fell.

"Pauline," 0peretta
Will Attract

Pauline" the great operetta, is
going to be played here Friday night.
1t is sure to attract fine crowd, as
it has been we'll prepared by local
participants. The play is very light,
the whole sentiment being to create
Joy and happiness. Anyone who
likes fine choruses can here find the
end of their desires, for Mrs. Watkins
has worked faithfully to train the
members.
The play abounds with songful
duets, trios and solos. The accom-
panying music will be of the best,
being of the brilliant operate style.
Mrs. Drake will officiate at the piano
while Horace Reno will assist with
the violin. Other accompanies may
be procured later. The play is sure
to be success, when conditions are
so favorable to make it so.
This performance is backed by the
Civic Improvement Club and also the
Commercial Club The proceeds from
this will be given to Mrs. Marie Chris
tian Watkins for the founding of
conservatory. The play will be wei
worth the price asked as it has more
people involved in the cast than any
travelling show could afford to trans
port. And who would not be willing
to give 75 cents toward the establish
ing of a musical conservatory?

October 20 Is
National Apple Day

Next Tuesday, October 90 is Apple
Day in Oregon, and everybody who
lives in this state is asked to observe
it.
Every man, woman and child will
be expected to eat at least one apple
on the occasion But n better way
to observe the day will be for every
householder to purchase box of ap-
pies and to get the habit of eating an
apple every day. The apple is con-
sidered the most healthful of all
fruits, so that in addition to its diet
etical value It has medicinal value
as we'll, says the Harbor.
The purpose of Apple Day is to
bring to the attention of the people
the many ways in which the apple
can be prepared for food. and most
hotels and eating houses have a full
| bill of fare prepared upon which tho
| apple may be found in a score of diff
ferent ways. This feature should be-
extended to the private homes, where
apple dumplngs and baked apples
and apple pie. with the apple pre-
pared in its various other delectable
ways, should be observed.
If you want to be particularly pa
triotic to Jackson county you should
eat Newtowns or some of the varieties
that are grown in this locality.

Brush, aged II, of 40S Grand avenue,
and Harry E. Hunt, aged IS, of Ash
land, arrested last night by Patrol

rison street on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons, confessed to City
Detectives Hellyer and Tackaberry
today that they had unsuccessfully
tried to hold up a man at Hawthorne
avenue and Twentieth street late last
night, and it is intimated that they
were the ones who held up the two
young women at Gladstone and Twen-
tieth streets Tuesday night.
The two young women. Miss Mary
Dunn, $50 Brooklyn street, and Mrs
Grace Coates of the Damascus cream
cry, were at the police station this
morning and positively identified one
of the boys has having participated
in the Tuesday night holdup.
Hunt had a piece of heavy wire
wrapped around his waist, and will
this, he told the officers, it ,wa'
planned to tie the victim.
They also had a towel, they said
which they threw away when tn
officers arrested them, and whicl
they planned to use as a gag. The
were armed with heavy army re
volver. After taking the money fror
their victims, they planned to con
ceal it for week or so, to allay sus
picion, one of the boys confessed.
The detectives were questionin
them further to see if any connectio
between them and the crime of Nor
day night, when Miss Mary S. /
Mancur, a school teacher, Of 5O4 Ea'
Thirty-sixth street, reported that sh
had been held up and robbed and a
terward assaulted.

Fruit Market
Still Critical

The fruit association is holding al
shipments of apples on account of the
stringent conditions of the fruit mar
ket Only few boxes have been
shipped, and these by express. How
ever, many vegetables are being sent
daily. The market price of apples has
not raised as yet, but change is
hoped for soon. The national apple
day ought to make some difference.
All apples moving at present are be-
ing sold locally at from 81 to s1.25
per box.

sters now seek to re-establish the
powers of government in their own
hands? Could these men afford to
attempt to elect candidates by cor
ruption unless they felt sure they
could control them after election?
However that may be, this is certain:
they were experienced hands at the
business. They bartered our honor
without scruple, and essayed surprise
that we resented it.
Under these circumstances could
! the Tidings afford to remain silent?
| Would not silence amount to abet-
ting a rape of the Oregon system and
directly contribute to the utter de-
struction of popular government?
Upon this consideration we now
speak. No honorable shield can be
afforded a system that holds so
! lightly the integrity of politics and
of men, or views editorial expression
as a cheap commodity to be bought
at a penny the pound. For, in the
end corruption huneycombs the foun-
dations of free government and pau
perizes the people.
} Corrupt machine domination is the
chief menace to popular government.
Such manipulation must be discour-
. aged and destroyed. Honor will not
permit silence. The Tidings is hence
: forth aggressively for the Oregon sys-
tem-that system that so effectively
/ tore control from the grasp of politi-
= cal conspirators and lodged it in the
r hands of the people. Only those can

s tempted corruption. But, men may

d chine and certain it is the same cor
o rupt methods are being employed.
o Withcombe is said, and we believe
It him to be, a spineless man. The evi

Grounded In Corruption
Old Republican Machine Adopts Same Corrupt Methods 10 COnrO
the Election in November as Maintained for So Many Years
in Oregon Under Party Machine Domination.

Monday morning, October II, be-
tween and 10 o'clock, local sup
porter of DR.. Withycombe called at
the Tidings office and asked for a
private conference with Mr.. Greer.
He asked how the Tidings stood
on Withycombe. We replied we were
not enthusiastic. So far we had let
the gubernatorial campaign alone
and thought we should continue to
do so.
He said the local committee would
meet at 10 o'clock and desired the
Tidings to come out for their candi-
date. We told him we did not feel
like doing so. He said the commit
tee would raise fifty dollars for the
Tidings if it would support Witty
combe.
We told him the Tidings had ad-
vertising space to sell and would
charge the local committee the same
rate made other political advertisers.
He said it was not advertising
space they wanted, but editorial sup
port.
We told him he had misjudged the
Tidings, that the editorial influence
of the paper was sacred thing and
not for sale, that his proposal
amounted to no less than an insult
both to our intelligence and integrity
and confirmed us in the determine
ton not to support DR.. Withycombe
He went away and returned II
about an hour and ordered an adver'
tisement announcing meeting fol
DR.. Withycombe for Tuesday night a

Already the candidacy of Dr
; Withycombe was losing our favo
just in proportion as we found tina
his most enthusiastic local supporter
were those who, under the old ma
chine rule, dictated the opposition t
popular government. They were no

Booth Challenges
West to Joint Debate

r. A. Booth, republican nominee
for the United States senate, chal-
lenged Governor West Saturday to
engage in joint debate on the sub
iect of Mr.. Booths personal record
and his business integrity.
Governor Vests reply was an eva
sion. He declined to accept the chal-
lenge, but offered Mr.. Booth the OPP
portunity of appearing on the plat
form at one of the governors regu-
larly scheduled speeches and answer
ing whatever charges the governor
makes against him.
Governor West has been going up
and down the state in the last few
weeks making attacks against Mr..
Booth and throwing out further in
situations against him by suggestive
innuendos of his own.
Attack ArouseS Mr.. Booth.
Mr.. Booth has countenanced
this conduct on the part of
the governor without replying, but
the recent intimation of Governor
West that he would make other
charges" yesterday aroused Mr.. Booth
to the point of challenging the gov
ernor to make such charges at
time when Mr.. Booth will be able to
hear them and answer them.
Governor West appear at the armory
in Portland at 1880 o'clock next Fri
day evening, October 23, so that Mr.
Booth himself might appear with him
and answer whatever charges the gov
ernor may make.
The message was sent to the gov
ernor at Medford and was delivered
to him there about $50 o'clock Sat-
urday.
Challenge IL Sent.
Mr.. Booths message in full fol-
lows:
Oswald West Governor of Oregon,
Salem, Ore:
r The press reports charges that you
4 have made publicly against my busi-
; ness methods and personal integrity
and that you say that you will make
e other charges against me before the

made no reference whatever to Mr.

Hon. Charles A. Milliken of Au-
gusta loves flowers. Everybody
who ever saw him knows that, and
we never heard anybody attempt to
dispute it. He can smell a sweet
scented smile of Nature" farther
than most men can hear an electri-
cal storm. He can see a modest
posy mile away, and few are the
days of the year that some lovely
blossom does not adorn his hutton
hole. At his delightful home on
western avenue, a perfect riot of
beautiful things boss the atmosphere.
That is large part Of Mr.. Milliken's
real enjoyment of things showered
on man by lavish Nature. He
touches these things almost reverent-
ly and all around him are grateful
people indebted to him for bestowals
of Frightening flowers Every year

Mr.. Milliken's big Peerless car has

Mr.. Milliken is accused of buying
votes it will be because some

TO these odorous favors. On Friday

many of the most perfect specimens
OF the immaculate water lily at the
