Carter or Won der HELEN?
Medford, Jan. 28, 1914


Editor Ashland Tidings: Your ar
ticle advocating a southern Oregon
man for governor, and mentioning
Senator Won der HELEN for the place.
merits the approval of every Jackson
county voter, albeit you are forgetting
one of Ashland's most worthy sons
the Hon. f. V. Carter, a man well
qualified by reason of legislative ex-
perience and otherwise to hold that
high office. From an intimate knowl-
edge gained in serving with Senator
Won der HELEN in the last session OF
the legislature | wish to add few
words regarding his qualifications
for the office.
He it was, as chairman OF the sen
ate good roads committee, and as
chairman of the joint senate and
house committees, who was directly
responsible for the success of the
Senator Barrett county bonding act
the good roads measure, of which
Jackson county has already availed
itself. The senator also did valiant
work for the Ashland normal, and
| finding it impossible to get the house
bill through the senate, owing to
strong adverse interests, by his perse-
verance he forced the senate bill out
of the senate committee when it
again passed the house.-a feat most
creditable through such opposition as
had arrayed itself against the school
in the senate.
Not alone in his work in the inter
est of good roads, nor yet in his
work for the normal, did he show
that breadth of view that makes one.
big enough for the gubernatorial
chair, but he, with other members of
/ the delegation. had the courage to
cast aside party lines when the inter
/ ests Of the people were at stake, and
support the policies of Governor West
wherever they were right. And un-
like those of both parties who were
currying for favor, he did not ask the
question, What will | gain?" but.
What is in the interest of the peo-
ple?"
Moreover, his experience gained
from the long service in both the
house and the senate, his tact in get
ting results without offending politi-
cal opponents, all mark him as a man
eminently fitted for the governors
chair; one who could draw votes
from eastern Oregon, from Portland
and the Willamette Valley. and one
who would merit the unanimous ap-
proval of our people regardless of.
party lines. Yours truly,
JOHN H. CARKIN.

Matches to Be Safe and Nonpoison.

Matches to Be Safe and NOnpoiSOn-
Gus.
Both the manufacture and sale of
matches containing white phosphorus
will be brought to an end in this
country on July l, 1915, when the
law recently passed by congress, i'm
posing a prohibitive tax on matches
in which this substance is used will
go into full effect, as explained in
the February Popular Mechanics
Magazine. This law was passed after
several years of agitation and after a
long educational campaign that made
the public aware of the terrible eff
fects produced on the operatives in
match factories through working
with white phosphorus, and brought
out the fact that there were other
forms of phosphorus not of a poison
Gus nature. Phosphorus is obtained
from bones, which consist mainly of
phosphorus and lime chemically COM
! bines with each other and with or
ganic matter. The two forms most
commonly seen are white phosphorus
and red phosphorus. The white
phosphorus is poisonous, while the
red phosphorus is practically harm
less.
Under the new law only two kinds
of matches will be in use-the So
called safety" match. which ignites
when scratched on a specially pre-
pared surface on the side OF the box,
and the bird s-eye" match, which
can be ignited on any dry surface
after the manner of the white phos-
phorus match. The main ingredient
of the safety" match is chlorate OF
potash, while the surface on which
it is to be lighted is painted with red
phosphorus. The substance used fol

sesquisulphide of phosphorus, com.

Ashland Wins
Second Game

1t simply can't be did, Cottage
Grove. Friday evening proved that,
but on Saturday Ashland began to
liven up a little and Cottage Grove
wasn't in the running at all Friday
the local high school boys were vic
torious. but Saturday they showed
so much speed and all-around good
playing that the northerners were
taken into camp by the score of IS
to 7, although at the end of the first
half the score stood in favor of the
locals by only 6 to 3.
The first half of the game was
much the same style Of ball as was
Fridays game, the home boys getting
three baskets through the efforts of
Spencer and Wallace, while the visit
ors succeeded in converting three
free throws. But in the second half
Ashland began to show some true
spirit and began to play the game for
all that was in them and their score
gradually ascended from six points
to eighteen through the hard playing
of every Ashland player, while the
Cottage Grove boys were held down
without a single field basket, four
fouls being converted in the last half.
On the whole it was by far the
best game played by the Ashland
team this year, each man holding his
opponent down without a basket and
at the same time playing brilliant
offense. For the locals Spencer, as
usual, showed to good advantage
-wHh three well-earned baskets, while
Fraley did some excellent work al
converting free throws, six of eleven
being successful. Besides this Fra
ley secured beautiful basket from
quite a distance away from the goal
the ball not even touching the rim
of the basket so accurate was the
shot. This accuracy was also noticed
when he converted the last five fret
throws in the same manner.
Frame showed a big improvement
at center and held his man scoreles'
although he himself did not manage
to score on account OF couple o
hard luck shots. Wallace played th
game through Saturday and playe,
good ball, too. getting two basket
off his opponent. Captain Plymat
is last but not least, for Gravy wa

tough luck failed to score three o
four beautiful throws from the mid
die of the floor, the ball lingering ol

Councillor c. Cunningham on "Ply-

On Saturday, January "a, 1914,
Councillor c. Cunningham had occa-
sion to deliver at the homestead of
Professor H. G. Gilmore a finely
nourished Plymouth Rock"-a
chicken, slain, picked and quartered
by the councillors own hand, and
which choice commodity served for
more than one dainty meal at table
at which two thankful hearts always
beat in peace and harmony. The fol-
lowing witty note from the pen of
Councillor Cunningham accompanied
the bird to its destination, graphical
ly setting forth all the virtues-real
and imaginary-this succulent biped
was believed to possess. Councillor
Cunningham sized up" the situation
in these terms:
This was Plymouth Rock: the
name would imply ancient ancestry,
but you can be assured that the relict
was native born, and just arrived at
manhood-'cock sure. His surround
ings were Of the best, good climate

highest. While he crowed low, he
roasted high and always at a re-
spectful distance from all entangling
alliances. In common with the rest
of the barnyard he was always ready
to scratch for a living and attended
strictly to his own business. Your
visitor was fortunate enough to be
well bred, we'll fed and. it is to be
hoped, will tickle the palate of an
