Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-10-18
(By John Anderson. J

The first real rally of the Ashland
high school kind was pulled off We'd
nesday morning in the assembly. 1t
began with the singing of the ever
popular Loyalty" and came to a
climax in grand serpentine around
the assembly room. More enthusi-
asm was displayed than has been for
long time. Leith Abbott led a few
yells, not new but never old, which
almost raised the roof. The singing
was rather weak on the freshman
side, but it will grow stronger as they
learn the songs and their voices de-
velop.
Most of the pupils were very sorry
that Columbus was not honored by
a whole holiday, so Professor Moore,
being in very lenient mood, let out
school two periods early.
Report has it that the Medford
high school is organizing a band. If
we love the people of Medford let us
hope that it is not so. Ashland tried
to do the same thing a few years ago
and the result was a bass, an alto
horn and bass drum. They played
number /, then they played number
l6, and then they played number /
twice more. Needless to say it made
everyone sad to hear it
Cecil Grisez, who has been driving
| jtney over at Yreka, entered school /
asst week. He will be quite an ac-
luisition to both the football and |
basketball squads.
Miss Alice Vandersluis of the Ash
and high school played a violin solo /
It a music recital in Medford Thurs
lay evening.

nesday evening Misses Marian Sum
mers, Maria Caldwell, Alice Hast,
Flora Provost, Nina Brewer, Amy
Leavitte, Marguerite Hammond,
Marian Stratton and Stella Stahlman
presented themselves at the home of
Miss Gertrude Barber on Granite
street. The cause for this invasion
was a dinner party given by the
bunch" in honor of Stella Stahlman,
who will soon leave Ashland. They
were Immediately led to the dining
room, where large table was suf
fering from a disease commonly
called the "swayback," caused by its
load of delectable dainties. After
slowing away really remarkable
amount of the delicacies they ad-
journed to another room, where the
remainder of the evening was spent
in playing games and the piano. Late |
that evening the jolly young people |
said goodbye, saying that they
wished some one would leave town !
every week-that is, if they would
come back the next.

son will be with klamath Falls next |

State Insurance
For the Farmers

(By Carle Abrams, of the State In
dustrial Accident Commission
Farmers of Oregon are coming to
realize that insurance for their work
men against accident is desirable,
therefore the State Industrial Acct
dent Commission has established a
rate for different lines of farming
operations under authority of Section
81 of the amended act passed by the
last legislature and which became eff
fective July l. The great interest
manifested by farmers is shown by
the fact that up to date about 200
farmers have availed themselves Of
the benefits of this act, although the
commission has up to this time been
so busy putting into operation the
new amendments to the law that no
effort has been made to notify farm
ers of their privilege to take advan-
tage of the act. This information is
becoming widely disseminated and
has caused a number of unfortunate
instances in the commission office
during the past few weeks. In
number of cases men have been in
jured on the farm and the employer
has then made application to come
under the act and sent in remittances
to cover his premiums with the hope
that by so doing the injured man
would be cared for by the state. This,
of course, is important, as will be
realized by all readers. 1t is similar
to insuring a building after the same
has been burned down and then ex-
pect to collect insurance on the build
ing. Similarly great many applica-
tions have come in from farm hands
who have been injured, for benefits
under the act, they thinking that
as long as they have not rejected the
act they are entitled to its benefits.
However, no protection can be ex-
tended to workmen unless acceptance
by application of the employer.
The rate fixed for farming opera
tions is: General farming, including
all operations incident thereto, 2 per
cent of the payroll. Threshing, clover
hulling, hay and straw baling, per
cent; prune drying, per cent wood |
cutting, per cent; land clearing |
without blasting, By per cent; with |
blasting, 5 per cent; road work, 8
per cent.
In addition to the above the en-
ployer is required to collect from the
workmen and remit with his own
1 cent day from each
workman. In computing the amount
due the commission add SIS per
month for board when the men are
boarded. For instance, farm hand
Is paid $40 per month and board and
works 26 days, his wages would be
s55 per month. The premium would
be per cent of $55, or $1.1O, plus
26 cents to be contributed by the
making total amount to
be RENTED to the commission of
b1.36 for the month. This is due and
payable on or before the 18th of the
month following that in which the
work is performed
Those farmers desiring to secure
he protection of this act may do so
~ making application to the COM
mission for application blanks and a
.opy of the law.
The protection afforded to both
Employer and workman is absolute.

which cost so much money should be
permitted to perish, and there are
many who express the hope that the
management may continue it for a
time longer after the day set for final
dissolution. However, it is given out
authoritatively that December will
end the fair and that in ninety days
practically everything will be removed
from the site Of the exposition. 1t

on government ground, as many of
them are, shall be removed immedi-

now definitely determined that the
Fine Arts Palace will be made perma-
nent, and that certain avenues will
be maintained as a part of a great
system of driyeways San Francisco is
now completing, and the cost of main
tanning other structul es would prob
ably be too great to permit their con-
tinuance. 1t must be remembered
that practically everything on the
grounds, with the exception OF the
Oregon building, Indiana building
and Pennsylvania building, is con-
structed OF the artificial travertine,
mere mixture Of plaster, and that the
heavy rains Of the winter season
would almost wash the buildings
away. Many of them are now be-
