Boy Struck by Auto
Has Narrow Escape

George Caldwell, twelve-year-old
son of w. w. Caldwell, living on
North Main street, narrowly escaped
serious injury last Thursday evening
on the street in front of his home.
The boy was crossing the street on
his coaster wagon and was run down
by an automobile, the occupants of
which were unknown. According to
the lads story, the driver of the car
did not sound any note OF warning
and did not slow up to any great ex-
tent before hitting him. The car was
travelling at good rate of speed and
it was only the boys unuusal pres
ence of mind which saved him from
worse consequences. When struck by
the car the boy was thrown in I'M
derneath, but by a stroke of luck
was able to grasp the front axle of
the auto and gamely hung on, being
dragged along the pavement for a
considerable distance. Although
bruised and battered, no bones were
broken and the lad was able to at
tend school today.
This accident should be a warning
to autoists, as it was only stroke of
providence which saved the Caldwell
boy from more serious injury.

son, and klamath by George C.
Blower.
Mr.. Frohbach was the first to Sc
lect booth and secured one immedi-
ately to the right of the south en-
trance to the Oregon building. At
the east end of the booth is the en-

con views will be furnished by the
Medford and Ashland commercial
clubs and lectures will be given in a
hall in the Oregon building which
will be devoted to this.
The Jackson county exhibit in

sheaf and threshed. Mr.. Frohbach's
processed work includes almost every
variety of fruit, vegetables, and some
flowers. The writer had the pleas
ure OF seeing a portion of the exhibit
before it was Grated and believes that
there will be nothing more beautiful
shown at the fair.
An effort is being made to have
some local ladies organization fur

MedfOrd Officials Il
Visit Ashland

The Medford mayor, city council
and other officials were Ashland Wis
itors last Thursday. The primary OBJ
ject of the visit was to inspect the
Ashland municipal power plant, but
owing to the condition of the roads
up the canyon the visit to the plant
was deferred to some day in the near
future, and the Medfordites occupied
themselves with an inspection Of the
city hall and other departments
Mayor limerick was heard to remark
that he envied the Ashland officials
their quarters and that move was
under way in Medford to build city
hall.
Mayor Johnson and the electric
light committee from the Ashland
council, consisting of Councilmen
Ware, Ashcraft and Cunningham,
conferred at some length with the
visiting council and explained the
financial status Of the local lighting
system. 1t appears that Medford cit
izens have been paying considerably
more for their light than have Ash
land residents. According to the fig
ures compiled by the light depart
ment the municipal plant has paid
all operating expenses during the
past year, has paid the interest on
the bonds, has kept up the sinking
fund to meet the bonds as they ma
tured, has put away depreciation
fund of 5000, and has cleared So, 900
during the year.
The Medfordites and the Ashland
hosts dined at the Ashland Hotel.
The following were in the Medford
party: Mayor limerick, F. v. Me-
dynski, H. H. Sargent, j. C. Mann,
F. Amy, T. w. Miles, o. Arnspiger,
L. E. Hinsman and A. A. Flynn.

Jackson Exhibit Shipped
To Panama Exhibition

The Jackson county exhibit to the
Panama-Pacific exposition was
shipped last Wednesday under the
direction of Mr.. Frohbach. The ex-
hibit shipped here consisted of 88
crates and boxes and weighed 10,069
pounds. Most of it was processed
fruits, etc, put up by Mr.. Frohbach.
The shipment including a collec-
tion Of photographs and oil paintings
will be made Thursday. These pic
lures will range from 8x10 inches to
five feet in size and deal with a great
variety of subjects. Chief among the
Photographic exhibits is Fred Kais-
er's collection of Crater Lake views.
Mr.. Kaiser spent most of last sum-
mer at the lake and is said to have
some wonderful pictures. Crater
Lake is to be featured as southern
Oregon asset, for while it has always
been well advertised as an Oregon
scenic wonder, people have not been
aware of the section that it is in.
The Jackson county exhibit as
shown will form part of the southern
Oregon district exhibit. This district
includes Jackson, Josephine, Douglas
and Klamath counties. Mr.. Froh-
bach will go to San Francisco in Feb
ruary as Jackson county's representa-

Lucid Report Of
City'S Finances

The annual report of the city treas
urer of Ashland, which is published
elsewhere in this issue, furnishes a
complete record of the financial
transactions of the city during the
year 1914 and shows the city to be
in the soundest kind of shape, finan-
cially.
OF all the forty-five funds which
are listed in the report, only two of
the minor sewer funds are found to
be overdrawn, and those only to
small amounts which together aggre-
gate only little over one hundred
dollars. Both OF these were over
drawn to larger amount at the first
of the year 1914, so that they really
are in better condition. The aggre-
gate sewer fund was over $4,000 to
the good.
The total cash on hand at first Of
1914 was $41,750.08, the total
amount received during the year was
$152,82323, the interest from the
banks was $887.4S. The total war
rants paid during the year amounted
to $152,400.84. The balance on
hand is $43, 3,059.95, which is $40,-
141.24 more than was on hand at
the first Of last year.
Last years increase was $15,285.-
68. The council complimented Mr..
Eubanks on the lucid arrangement of
the report. t..,

Fish and Game,
To Organizations

Fish and game are two of the big
assets of Oregon. Especially is this
true in view of the proposed south
ern Oregon development along tour
list lines. The Rogue river is the big
gest asset in this part of the state.
With this river open to the free
course of the finny tribe from mouth
to source it becomes at once one of
the best fishing streams in America.
After this year, with the completion
OF the springs project, with the Pa
cific highway affording easy access
to 1t, and the numerous roads that
will be projected in the next few
years to accommodate tourists, with
the further development of Crater
lake and the Marble caves, with the
proper stocking and utilization of the
mountain streams and lakes so
abundant in this section for line and
pole, it will prove paradise for nim-
rods and they will be drawn hither
from the whole country. But MIN
rods spend little time on barren
streams. So with game.
The propagation and conservation
of fish and game should be left to
the sportsmen. They know best how
to handle the situation. And the le-
gal restraints and privileges should
be set largely by the sportsman or
ganizations of the state.
1t would be better for southern
Oregon II the Rogue river was entire
ly closed to commercial fishing-or
rather to private monopoly. Nature
has supplied the fish and game for
man and each individual should have
the same chance to utilize it that is
allowed any other person. There is
much talk about protecting our "fish-
ing industry" What does an indus
try amount to that employe twenty
to fifty men at the mouth of the
Rogue, compared to the vast benefits
lnaI Will accrue 10 all persons living
along the full course of the stream
II the fish are left free? Or what
does it amount to in dollars COM
pared to the vast benefits in having
stream so rich in game as to at
tract nimrods here by the thousands
who leave their golden dollars scat
tered from one end of the river to
the other?
We are talking now of Rogue riv-,
er. There may be some sense in
leaving the Columbia open, but the
Rogue river should be kept for tour
list attraction because 1t courses
through essentially a tourist coun-
try.

Dog Catcher
Is Bitten

Bill Cook, dog catcher, passed a
dog on the street Friday night
which, when spoken to, became ex-
tremely savage. Springing at Bill,
it fastened it's teeth in his hand, the
teeth passing entirely through the
hand. Firmly setting its Jaws, Bill
was held as in wise until he could
get into position to kick the dog
loose, which he finally did. Then
drawing his gun, he shot the animal.
The dogs head was sent to Portland
Immediately for examination as to
rabies. Meanwhile Bill is nursing a
very sore hand and wondering what
the result will be.

Gold Hill Has
Smallpox Epidemic

Miss Ruth Turner, teacher in the
Gold Hill schools, came up Thursday
evening on account OF the closing of
the Gold Hill schools. The schools
were closed last Wednesday and all
OF the pupils were obliged to be vac
cinated, this action being due to the
smallpox epidemic which has caused
considerable apprehension in that
city. Eight families have been quar-
antined by the medical authorities.
The disease was supposed to have
been brought in by tramp who was
confined at Gold Hill recently.

New Location
5, 10, l5c Store

The 8, 10 and Is Cent Store which
for the past four years has been To-
Gated in the AIKEN building next the
Star Theatre, has been moved across
the street to the Enders block, direct
ly opposite the Star Theatre.
In the face of general business
depression which has prevailed in the
past two years, this institution has
grown to such proportions that it was
necessary to increase the capacity,
and we were indeed fortunate to Sc
cure this exceptionally desirable loca-
tion.
In the new store we will not only
have more room but moro comfort,
more light, more goods, better ventil-
alton, cleaner and better in every
way.
We want to thank the children of
Ashland and their parents and
friends and the public in general for
their liberal patronage. during the
past four years.
We put the children first because
they are our biggest boosters. If
you want to know which is the most
popular store in town, give any child
on the street a penny and watch
wheer he goes.
Big values is our slogan. No trad
ing stamps, no railroad tickets, but
merchandise. A big nickel's worth
for cents.

Free Trip to
Panama. Pacific Fair

: In conjunction with the Tidings,
a number of the local merchants will
send an Ashland lady to the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
in 1915, or if the winner prefers she
will be given $50 in cash. For this
trip the Tidings will supply free
round-trip transportation to San
Francisco, admissions to the exposi-
tion and payment of hotel expenses,
of the total value above stated. We
also expect to secure for the winner
the many courtesies extended to
members of the press while attending
the exposition. The plan is as fol-
lows:
A number of Ashlands progressive
stores have agreed to give sales
checks or receipts for all cash pur-
chases made during the next three
months. These sales checks may be
exchanged at the office of the Tid-
ings for votes on the basis of one
vote for every five cents shown on
the sales check or receipt The votes
may be deposited in the ballot box
at this office by the person holding
them, for friend or for any candi-
date whom one wants to support. A
nomination coupon is published in
this issue, and when filled out and
sent to the Tidings office counts for
500 votes.
This plan offers some young lady
a delightful trip to the fair for no
other effort on her part than asking
for sales check or receipt when
making purchases at any of these
stores. By saving these slips and
getting your friends and relatives to
save them for you the trip may be
yours. The contest is open to every
one except those employed by this
office or in the stores advertising in
the exposition trip page, which ap-
pears in this issue.
Right now is the time to start saw
ing these sales checks. Begin now
by asking for the sales checks from
the stores advertising on this special
page and tell your friends you are
trying to win the trip to San Fran
cisco in 1915, and ask their help in
saving sales checks for you. Bring
all sales checks to the Tidings office
and receive one vote for every five
cents of your purchase. ---
