Wheat rose higher Tuesday than
when James A. Patten coTnered the
market in 1908 when the country
Overexported, and higher than 1898,
when Joseph Letter attempted to cor
ner the market and lost millions.
May wheat sold in Chicago at
$1.3734, or 212 cents higher than
ever before. This is an increase of
10 cents in a week.
It was following the large orders
of Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and
Portugal that. speculation on the ex-
change became rife, and the jump
was made.
Standard brands of flour, those of
st. Paul especially, have increased
to 81 per barrel.
Whether or not the bakers will in.
crease their prices has not been an
nounced. A meeting to consider this
move will be held shortly.

LINDBERGH TAKES FALL OUT OF
REYNOLDS AND FORGAN
George M. Reynolds and James B.
FOrgan have the power to wreck a
small banker who doesn't keep his
mouth shut about the money trust,
according to a remarkable interview
with Congressman Lindbergh printed
in the Tribune today. Lindbergh is
quoted as saying:
THE money trust managers and
their agents were selected to control
the twelve federal reserve banks, and
because of their mutually of inter-
est they formed a natural as well as
legal trust. In the case of the Chi
cago bank, two bankers known to all
as allied with the money trust have
obtained an absolute control of the
situation.
81 understand they deny here that
any complaints have been received.
Is it any wonder that smaller banks
in the control of such a monster or
ganization should not complain? It is
worth their ife's blood to keep still"
Lindbergh will bring a resolution
before congress tomorrow asking for
an investigation of how the money
trust is using the new government re-
serve banks. The resolution says the
big bankers pull down heavier profits
under the reserve bank system. It is
wOrded:
''They are permitted to loan $780,
100000 more than heretofore; they
are privileged to act as fiscal agents
Of the United States and to obtain
clue upon the treasury funds for
pr sain; they may pledge to the
On tates banks the debts of the

New Dodge Car Is
Sensation Of Year

The latest phenomenal success in
the automobile world, the Dodge car,
has arrived in the valley and was
shown on the streets of Ashland to-
day. The dealers, Bernard & Hall of
Medford, have sold eleven of the cars
already in the week that they have
been demonstrating in Medford. A
prominent Ashland business man
bought one of the cars this morning
after the demonstrators had brought
four passengers up the Jackson hill
on high gear from standing start.
The Ashlander said that any car
which could do that was the car for
him and signed check for a Dodge.
The dealers will have the car on ex-
hibition on the Plaza again tomorrow
afternoon. Electric lights and self
starter and--but come down tomor-
row and see the classiest car for the
price or anywhere near the price that
has ever been put on the market.
Eight hundred and eighty-five dol
lars, fully equipped, here.

ganization purchased from the syndi-
cate SIS, 900 of the Ashland fives at

Council Meeting
Takes Little Time

The council meeting last Friday
was short If not sweet. After few
routine matters had been disposed OF
the matter OF granting James II.
Wells permission TO tear down a COW
barn was referred to the sanitary
committee. The matter of the pur-
chase of carload OF pipe was taken
up and Councilman Ashcrart read
some figures on the proposition. BY
getting firms to bid on the carload
the committee has got a material re-
duction over the prices OF former
purchases. The joint committee or
the water and finance committees
was given power to act in the matter.
Mr.. Ashcrait brought up the mat
ter OF seepage on High street which
causes a pool to form. This was re-
ferred to the street committee. The
council then went into executive ses-
sion after ejecting everyone but the
flour mill nPn, whose proposition
they wished to discuss.

Register Stock
Brands State Vet.

County Clerk Gardner has received
instructions from Secretary of State
olcott at Salem that after April 1 all
stock brands must be registered with
the state veterinarian, instead of the
county clerk, as at present. This
change is embodied in a bill passed
at the last session of the legislature.
In>the neighborhood OF $50 owners of
stock in Jackson county are affected
by the change.
The county clerk was also noti-
fled to strike from the registration
books all voters not naturalized citi-
zens. At the last election a law was
passed denying the vote to unnatural
lied citizens. Up'to that time declar-
alton of intentions to become citizens
entitled them to a vote. Provision
is made for the re-registering, If they
since have become citizens.

growing contagious. Since Ashland
began her development every town in
the country that has mineral spring
in piping distance is figuring on util-
izing it for baths and drinking pur-
poses in the several towns. The
Greater Gold Hill Club now has un-
der consideration the piping in some
mineral springs near that place, and
now the business men of Chico, Cal,
are considering piping in the mineral
waters of Richardson springs and
building sanitarium. Verify, when
something new is started no telling
where it will end. But, one good
thing about it, the more the better
Soon the coast country will become
as noted for its medicinal waters as
for it's climate.

Auto Makes Trip

The highway over the Siskiyou
mountains is now passable. The first
car came over last Monday, but had
to have help of team for some dis
tance. Saturday the Hubbard broth
ers of Medford made the trip over
and back in their Ford car without
any assistance from the ever-ready
farmer. Only one really bad spot
was encountered, that being below
Steinman, where a wash has filled the
road with mud and where the sun
cannot shine on account of trees. The
upper portion of the road is in fine
shape. In a few weeks the auto
travel to the exposition will start in
and the boys who made the trip Sat
urday say that the once dreaded Sis
kiyou grade will be in fine shape.

''Peg O. My Heart"
Vining Tonight

Ashland theatregoers will have an

aroused them to laughter at the joy

cheeks to dampen with tears during
the softening moments of her pa
thetic mem ories, yesterday afternoon

the quaint Irish Cinderella, Peg O.
MY Heart.
"a most delightful Peg it was.
"a Peg that was type of the un-
expected. and yet so real and natural
in the sudden blazes of wit and the
ready discovery of generous nature
and warm heart, so appealing in her
friendlessness and yet so imbued
with inherent independence, so i'm
pulsiye in resentment of wrong and
so quick in forgiving! Miss O'Neil
invested the character with the win
someness of her own charming per-
sonality, with the breeziness and
freshness of her own youth, with the
piquant buoyancy of her own lively
spirits" - ~ "

The fruit growers of the northwest
met in convention at Seattle last
week and have laid plans for a solid
organization. Some of the recon-
contained in their report
were as follows:
Cooperation with the growers
council, representing 1000 fruit
growers of the northwest.
Membership to consist of those
handling northwestern deciduous
fruits to the extent of fifty cars or
more and who agree to abide by rules
and regulations of the council.
Dues to be 500 per year for each
member, the remaining expense to be
assessed on tonnage basis. Expense
estimated at $4,000 per year.
Administration effected through a
board of control of fourteen members
and a governing board of seven elect
ed from the board of control. There
will be a president, two vice-presi-
dents, secretary and treasurer.
Only the latter two may not be
members of the board Of control.
The president must be from the gov
erning board.
The object of the organization is
to form information and traffic bu-
reaus, study market conditions and
extend distribution. Everything tend
ing toward restraint of trade will be
avoided.
The committee to devise ways and
means recommended encouraging the
method of selling for cash or on firm
orders, generally known as the F. O.

Here Friday

President Sproule, Chairman Krut-

the Southern Pacific Company passed
through Ashland Friday on their way
to inspect work on the Coos Bay
branch of the road. The springs wa
ter commission met them at the depot
in hopes of getting them to look over
the springs situation with special ref
erence to the new tourist hotel, but
their schedule had already been made
to meet boat which was to convey
them down the river where some new
bridges were under construction and
it was found impossible to give the
Ashland project any time and make
their designed connections.
The party will return in few days
stop off here long enough to give
them a final idea of our improve
ments.
A fine bouquet of almond blossoms
and other flowers was presented with
compliments of the Ladies Civic
Club, Mr.. Kramer gave them a dandy
mess of trout offered by Harry Hos
Ter, and the springs water commits
sion supplied them with several bot
ties of New Lithia, Siskiyou and Gil
lette Lithia waters.
They expressed great faith in the
Ashland project and assured the COM
mission of their hearty and continued
aid and cooperation.
