The Garden Of Lies
at Lyric Theatre

Jane Cowl, who starred in within
the Law" is the leading lady in a
remarkable offering to be shown at
the Lyric Sunday night only. The
play was adapted for the screen from
one of the best novels by Justus Miles
Forman, who went down with the
Lusitania. The story begins by pic
turing Eleanor Mannering, an Ameri-
can girl, still suffering from the eff
fects of an automobile accident. AS
a result of this accident she has COM
pletely lost all recollection Of the
appearance OF her husband, Prince
Carl Novodna, to whom she has been
The prince has been called
home, and a young American soldier
of fortune is induced to pose as the
prince, hence the title, Garden OF
Lies" The involved plot calls for
remarkable acting and sumptuous
settings. A worthwhile attraction.
"Up From the Depths
The Mutual Masterpicture this
week is a powerful play by the late
Charles Eattrel Loomis, starring
Courtenay Foote and Thomas Jeffer-
son. Gladys Brockwell appears as
Daire Vincent, the innocent girl
whom the reviyalist betrayed and
later, in better moment, rescued
from degradation.
The basic lines of this story are
old, as old as the Greeks. Indeed, ali
tie great stories are. 1t is its devel-
opment, which proceeds along cour-
ageous and subtly artistic lines.
up From the Depths will be
shown at the Lyric Thursday and
Friday Evenings.

Furnish Ample
Proof OF Skill

After tramping over almost every
square foot of country within few
miles of Ashland and having no sue
cess, Harry Sinclair of the Tidings
and Auditor c. H. Metcalf for the
springs commission and Smith-Emery
company, finally decided that if they
wanted deer, the proper thing to do
was to hit for the uninhabited wilds
where carburetor trouble is unknown
because OF the high altitude. Hence
forth and Herewith they piled suffi-
cient of grub and ammunition into
the former gentleman's car and
burned up the roads between Ashland
and Trail creek, where they pitched
camp with the grim determination of
staying until they got deer or the
supplies gave out.
Their vigilance was unrewarded
over Friday evening and Saturday,
but on Sunday, when, of course, they
could not have been hunting but
must have been merely enjoying a
Sabbath stroll, a fine four-point
buck waited a little too long before
running and fell amidst rain of
leaden hail
So much for the prologue. The
main part of the story lies in the veni-
son dinner at Mr. Metcalf's residence,
at which Emory Smith of the Smith
Emery company, Engineer Bell of the
same concern, B. r. Greer, the two
mighty huntsmen and yours truly the
reporter sat down to a culinary con-
quest prepared by the wives of the
conquestors. If the proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating, we are prepared
to swear that our two friends brought
back the pudding.

Pulls Gun on
Bank Cashier

Two young ladies named Harsley
and Bridson, aged 23 and 19 respect
lively, arrived here last Tuesday
on their walking trip from Chicago
to San Francisco, a distance of over
1000 miles. Both looked healthy
and seemed to be all the better for
the wear.
They are walking as a result OF
wager, and to prove the genuineness
of their feat they are collecting data
from the various places they visit,
which will be placed in book of trav-
els. They are also making it point
to get a police badge from every
town they stop in, and have goodly
collection to show for their efforts.
They have slept in all kinds of abodes,
even in cell in an Illinois Jail as
result of dare by the newspaper OF
that place.
When the young ladies started out
there was a third member Of the
party who succumbed to the wiles of
a young man with whom they became
acquainted in Ogden.
o. Winter, who is acting as cashier
of the Savings Bank during the abb
sence of George Eubanks, threw con-
siderable of scare into one of the
fair mixers after passing through a
moment Of trepidation himself.
One of the girls entered the bank
and sticking the revolver, which she
carried, between the bars, said, "You
are under arrest" Visions of hold
ups and insanity passed through Mr..
Winters mind but were dispelled
when the girl proceeded to try to sell
him a photograph. He called the
young lady to account for taking
chances on such display of firearms
in a bank and informed her that a
mere pressure of button would have
riddled her with lead from concealed
devices. Thoroughly frightened, the
bemedaled hiker backed out of the
bank without even selling a photo
graph.

Southern Pacific
Hotel Man Here

Allan Pollok, head of the dining
car and hotel service of the Southern
Pacific, is in Ashland this day look
ing over the park development work
and making investigations in regard
to tourist hotel prospects. While this
is not MIR. Pollok's first visit to Ash
land, he insisted upon being shown
every phase Of the development work
and was intensely interested. Mr..
Pollok has always been greatly i'm
pressed with the beauties of Ashland
and the resources here which may be
developed into attractions for tour
lists. He was highly pleased with the
progress made in the new park and
in the mineral water mobilization.

Publicity People
Earn Salaries


The publicity department has made
a remarkable showing for the period
from June I , when the present man
ager took charge OF the work, up to
the date of this issue Of the Tidiugs.
When asked for some data as to the
work accomplished, Mr. Duryea gave
the following figures to a representa-
tive of the Tidings: The office has
sent out 23,500 of the glass OF water
booklet, $500 leaflets on Ashland,
$500 printed postcards, $50 letters
and Sc marked copies of our local pa
pers-a total of 34,436 pieces of
matter handled. All of this work has
been taken care OF by the manager
and his assistant, Miss Natalie Swi-
CART. 1t is quite apparent they are
trying to earn their respective salar-
les, for all of this work has been ac-
complished in very short time Ash
land has never had as active a pub
licity campaign as this.
In addition to the above work the
manager has written number OF
special articles for newspapers ON
Ashlands development and secured a
large amount of free publicity in the
press of the Pacific coast. Ashland
is probably the best advertised town
in Oregon at the present time. Few
cities in the state, if any, have sent
out as much literature in year as
has been sent out from here in three
months time.

Regular Routine
Of City Council

The city council settled down to
the reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting at o'clock Tuesday
evening.

keeping a man at work cutting poison
oak in the park during the past
month and also included a statement
Of finances in their report.
The regular monthly report of the
water superintendent was read and
approved.

and attendance at hearing of cleo
trio light matters before the state
railway commission, was allowed.
e. n. Butler asked permission to
build a small garage of corrugated
iron in the rear of his Plaza confec-
tionery. The permit was granted.
George B. Holley signified his in
tention of building a retaining wall
in front of his property on upper
Granite street and asked that the
street line be established. City En-
gineer Walker stated that he had al
ready established the line, but it ap-
peared that at some time the widen
ing of the street had been discussed
and Mr.. Holly wanted to make sure
of the line before going to the eX-
pense of erecting his wall. No indl-
cation of any such intended widening
was found, stated Mr.. Walker, and
the petition was granted and the city
engineer instructed to establish the
grade line.
The Ashland Electric Light and
Power Company petitioned the estab-
lishment of water tap on their sub
station lot east of lower Oak street
on this side of the creek. The mat
ter was referred to the water commit
tee with power to act.
The League of Northwestern Mu-
inequalities invited delegates to their
fourth annual conference in Walla
Walla.
The street committee reported am
pie fall to allow of connection be-
tween the Hunt property and the city
sewer.
Mr.. Ashcraft, for the special COM
mittee on the Billings matter, asked
for an extension of time.
The city attorney gave as his
opinion that the city might construct
a trunk line sewer through the park
lands and assess the adjoining prop
erty. His opinion was that city prop
erty could be assessed exactly as is
private property for such a purpose.
To provide for future contingencies
the city engineer was instructed to
plat the water system now being laid

Valley Irrigation
Is Progressing

At recent election held at Phoe-
nix Tuesday a franchise was granted
the Rogue River Canal Company to
construct irrigation bitches through
the municipality, by vote of 33 to 3
This means that the canal company
will start at once upon the extension
Of its irrigation system, over an area
exceeding 1000 acres south of Med
ford. One hundred men will be put
to work in few days, bids for a con-
crete weir near Talent have been
asked, and when the work is complet
ed in January the canal company will
have from twenty to thirty thousand
dollars invested in this project alone.
The water will be taken from Bear
creek, the old Phoenix mill ditch be-
ing used. The rights of way have
been secured through the orchards
and practically all the fruit-bearing
property directly south of Medford
will be supplied. The ditch will come
out opposite Talent and will pass
through the country south of the end
of Kings Highway in the Mcmillan
place.
Meanwhile the company is working
night and day on the impounding
dam at Fish lake, all available work
men being sent up daily by automo-
bile, and it is hoped to Keep a force
of from 200 to 25O men employed
there until December, when it is
hoped the work will be finished.

This is the attitude taken toward the

wise than that our boys played
hard game In the face OF defeat anu
they have nothing whatever TO nc
ashamed OF In the manner with which
they conducted themselves ON the

made up OF inexperienced players
and is comparatively light. and the

marine or Zeppelin. Moreover, their
cheapness and ease of operation
would permit them to be launched in
large numbers, sufficient to make a
veritable rain Of death within any
given area.
The only secret about this latest
war contrivance is said to be the
method of wireless control, which
probably is about the same as that
used to control the John Hays Ham
mond wireless boat, which also is re-
ceiving the interested attention of the
military authorities of this govern
ment. With these two contrivances,
both invented by ingenious Ameri-
cans, this government will possess
weapons that will go far toward en-
abling it to cope with any enemy that
might attempt to force conclusions
with the United States. In fact, with
the aid Of these two weapons of com
small force of trained ex-
perts could stave off an attack from
any quarter, and especially when used
in connection with such other modern
war weapons as the submarine and
the aeroplane.
