oJARD OF HEALTH 10 .' ASK CITY FOR $l3,3oO
increase Of $500 in Estimate Over
 Last Years Appropriation.


 cided to ask the common council for an appropriation of $13,300, an in crease of $3,300 over last year. The taking over of the work of the Tuber- culosis Relief society's work by the board In itself explains the increased expense of $3,200 as estimated by the board. For the increased ap- propriation, the city will get the ser vices of an additional sanitary in spector. d welfare nurse, and d nurse to care for the tuberculosis relief work in the city.
 If the appropriation is granted by the finance committee, it will mean q considerable expansion in the work of the board of health. Chairman H. $. Tallard voiced the apparently unanimous opinion of the board when he said, "$10,000 is a small sum to be expended in board of health work by a city of New Britain's size,' and he expressed the opinion that little objection would be made to the in crease in view of the increased duties and expense of the board. He said it would be a great mistake to take backward step in the progress of the health work by decreasing the ap prOpriation.
 An increase also was made in the items of transportation and disinfectants and drugs. The ap propriation for disinfectants and drugs was raised from $500 to $700 for several reasons. In the first place. it was said that $356.26 must be spent for these items within the next three months. One cause of
 
 anti-toxin formerly furnished by the state must now be purchased by the board. Also, inasmuch as the tu berculosis work undoubtedly will be placed in the hands of the board of health, it will be necessary to pur- chase from three to four times the am ount of formaldehyde candles used today for Immigration purposes.
 Cost of Transportation.
 The estimate for transportation was raised from 5000 to s1,200, to be divided as follows: Superinten- dent of board, $6o0; milk inspector, $200; plumbing inspector, S100; the three new officials (two nurses and sanitary inspector). $500. It was voted to ask for $20o to cover the cost of transportation for Dr. George T. trOWleN tne milk ana meat lil- spector who uses his autom obile in going from place 10 place in the country. It was said that liberal appropriations are made for this item in other cities and that Dr. Crowley has hitherto paid for the m maintenance ~r and repair of his ma chine out of his own pocket. It was felt that the allowance of trans- portaton for any, member of, the board would mean aa saving of val uable time that is really worth much more to the city.
 In estimating the appropriation for garbage collection. the board held a consultation with MT. Furman, who expressed a willingness to continue his work under the terms of the for 1ner contract, which is $2,950. He also answered the questions of the board regarding the repairs neces- sarv to the wagons and other equip ment, and the board decided to ask for an appropriation of s1,S00 for repairs and new equipment

Help Wanted
At Vining. Theatre

Help Wanted" the Morosco-Bos-
worth five-reel picture based upon
the New York and Chicago success of
last season, will be shown at the Vim
ing theatre Tuesday evening.
When an elderly millionaire who
dyes his mustache, affects rich era
vats and Is addicted to perfume
sprays, engages little stenographer
who is pretty rather than expert, and
then advances her salary on sight,
the little girl had best beware.
But Jack Lait's innocent little he
roine didn't know. She thought
girl in an office was protected by the
same chivalry as girl in her own
home. She found out.
But youth, in the delightful person
of Owen Moore, rallied to youth-and
middle age skulked out the door.
Everyone should see this splendid
picture, as it represents the things
that might happen to anybody's sis
ter.

City Receives
Good Publicity

The average mortal deems it a
great achievement If he succeeds in
getting something for nothing. There
is nothing that pleases a publicity
man as much as to get valuable news
paper space without having to pay for
it, and it is especially gratifying to
him if that space be on the editorial
page of a great daily Ashland was
especially favored last week by re-
ceiving editorial comment on its
present development in two big Ore
gon dailies-the Oregonian and the
Telegram. These will be found re-
printed in this issue of the Tidings.
These splendid editorials will give
the city a tremendous amount OF
most desirable publicity, for they will
make stronger impression on the
minds of those who read them than
ten times the same space in paid ad-
vertising could possibly do. Speak
ing of one of these editorials, lead
ing business man of Ashland said:
THAT is worth more than five hun
dred dollars to u.s." If this valua-
tion is correct it represents a very
big return on a very small invest
ment, for it cost the publicity depart
ment three and one-half cents to get
1.-TWO and one-half cents for copy
of the Tidings that contained a story
of Ashland present development,
written by the manager, and one cent
for a newspaper wrapper. A marked
copy of the Tidings, containing this
story, was sent to the editor of each
of the daily papers of the city OF
Portland. AS result the city re-
ceived these two fine editorials that
are bound to do us great amount
of good. The manager of the de-
partment feels extremely gratified
over this result, and the Tidings be-
lieves he has a right to do so.

Ashland Pioneer
Visiting In City

]. o. C. Winner, one of Ashland's
pioneers, is visiting in the city with
his son, on Beach street. Mr.. Winner
now halls from Salem.
He came to Ashland in 1867, at a
time when there were but fifteen
families in town, and there was only
one store and one hotel, the former
being owned by R. B. Hargadine and
the latter being the Ashland Hotel,
which now D. D. Good occupies as a
dray barn.
When he first came to the hamlet,
as it was then, the wooden mills were
just being started, and he worked on
them for about year.
Among other things he did as a
pioneer of this city was to help in
stall the first printing press in ASH
land and the second printing press in
the state of Oregon-the printing
press which ran out the first issue
of the Tidings in 1876, the paper at
that time being run and owned by
Mr.. Leeds.
Mr.. Winner left Ashland in '92 for
other points in the state. He crossed
the plains in 1868.

Charlie Chaplin

provoker. So popular is this famous
comedian that he recently refused an
offer of $4,000 for two weeks en-
gagement to appear personally at
Keith's Theatre, New York city. Lots
of people say they don't like Chap
lin, but still don't miss the opportun-
ity OF seeing him every time one of
his excruciatingly funny efforts are
shown. "A Jitney Elopement," that
will be the vehicle of one of his best
efforts, will be shown tomorrow at
the Lyric.

Peach Week
In Two States

BY proclamation of the governors
of two states, the week beginning
August 80 will be Peach Week IN
Oregon and Washington. Every one
is urged to buy the delicious fruit by
the box, and eat, can, pickle and pre-
serve them.
Owing to the peach crop OF the
United States being the heaviest IN
years, there has been little eastern
demand for the Oregon and Wash
ington product. Unless the fruit can
be disposed of in some manner the
growers face a tremendous loss
Even though most of the remain
ing crop is sold during peach week.
it is said the growers will scarcely
realize the cost of production on ac-
count of the low prices.

system, on account of the mica sedi-
ment in the water The eastern con-
cern have been working on the prob
lem for some years, with satisfac-
tory result. The meters were or
dered to be sent back, with a letter
of recommendation for them to the
company. In the future, IL water me-
ters are ever to be installed these
meters would be found to be very
practical,
Three transformers, that had been
bought several years ago so that the
city might connect up with the Siski-
you current when it was necessary,
on account of accident to the city
plant, were sold to the Westinghouse
people of San Francisco for the sum
of $1,100 Seventeen hundred dol
lars was the original sum paid. This
was an exceedingly good price as they
had become so out of date that they
would have to be rewound.
The cemetery committee was au-
thorized to purchase fifty feet Of hose
for use in Mountain View cemetery.
A clause was inserted in the ordi-
nance relating to secondhand and
junk dealers, providing that no deal
er should buy of minor, unless the
latter could show that he was proper
ly authorized by his parents to sell
such Junk and secondhand goods.
This was copied directly after the
Medford ordinance.
A proposal was brought up by Mr..
Ware to change the name of Harga-
dine avenue, which runs up by the
First National Bank and through to
the camp grounds, to Pioneer Drive.
and the name of First avenue to
Pioneer avenue. Heretofore there
, has always been a confusion in the
streets there, as there is already a
Hargadine street. People have also
been confused about where First av-
enue left off. This change in names,
when adopted, will make the street
Pioneer" all the way through, with
only the difference in avenue" and
drive" Mr.. Ware stated that while
there might be names more appropri-
ate, the Pioneer part of it had oc-
Cured to him to be appropriate as
something to commemorate the hardy
pioneers who first settled in Ash
land.
AS the final thing before adjourn
ment, the votes of the bond election
were canvassed.

Ben Sheldon writes from the San
Francisco exposition as follows:
Il have just had most interest
ing and instructive talk with Edward
C. Gillette, now and for ten years
past secretary of the New York State
Fruitgrowers' Association. He re-
Gently visited the Grand Junction
section and the Watsonville apple
district. In both the crop is way
below normal in goth quality and
quantity. Watsonville, he says, will
not ship a SO per cent crop; Grand
Junction even less.
"The New York crop will not
amount to 25 per cent of normal
year. Too much rain and heavy
wind storms. The farmers can not
get onto the ground to cut their oats;
the second cutting al alfalfa is rot
ting and the potatoes and beans are
under water. He comes from west
ern New York, in the lake district
where the heaviest pear and apple
districts are located.
"Mr. Gillette was recently talking
with the state horticultural commits
sioner of Missouri, who told him
that the Missouri apple crop would
amount to about 60 per cent of nor
NAL. AS the Missouri crop is large
ly fall apples and not good keepers
he does not think it would notably
affect the market for coast winter
apples. In short, Mr.. Gillette sizes
up the situation on apples as decid-
edly good for the man who has some
good stuff this fall
He also says that, while his sec
tion Of New York has been the heav-
lest producers Of pears in the world,
the new paintings are running much
stronger to apples than to pears.
Other items of information are:
They can not grow the Bose success
fully in their section; the Winter
Nellis are uniformly small sized and
unsatisfactory; the only varieties
that are successful are Bartletts,
Keifer and Seckel; their experiments
on grating on Keifer stock have not
been successful, especially If a slow
growing variety is the top work.

Ben Sheldon Writes
Of Good Apple Market

"Mr. Gillette gives me an interest
ing resume of experiences in market
ing. They formerly depended upon
commission and jobbing men to keep
them informed of market conditions,
but found that they were being
served with misinformation that
served the commission men rather
than the growers. Now they have
partially perfected a plan of ex-
change bulletins between the secre-
taries of fruitgrowers' associations
throughout the eastern districts
whereby each district knows what the
conditions are in the sesveral other
districts. Mr.. Gillette seemed very
anxious to see this plan tried on a
national basis, but urged that it must
be entirely in the hands of the grow
ers of their local organizations, and
neither commission men, jobbers nor
strictly marketing agencies should be
connected with it in any way.
Another interesting item was his
statement that the editor of Rural
New York, which he considers one OF
the best publications for fruitgrow-
ers in the world, recently conducted
an extensive investigation of the
fruit-marketing problems and found,
as the average of hundreds of sales
Investigated, that the apple grower
the country over averaged 80 cents
out of every dollar paid for apples
in the United States by the consum-
ers. His statement is in line with
one incident / ran across two win
ters ago while in Cincinnati, where
dropped into one of the best grocery
stores and found some of our Rogue
river Newtowns on sale at so cents
per dozen. / asked the proprietor,
after telling him who / was and why
| wanted to know, what he paid
wholesale for those apples, and he
told me 1915 per box. l afterwards
asked the grower who raised and
shipped them, and he said $1.21 per
box. AS Mr.. Gillette said, 1T is in
the marketing of our fruit that we
must work out the future success Of
the industry"
