Saturday Beet Sugar
Day in the Valley

Saturday has been designated as
Sugar Beet day by the committee in
charge. All signers for acreage are
urged to secure as many more acres
as they have signed for, and bring
as many new signers into the fold
as possible. 1t is planned to make
the day the clinching climax of the
campaign, and all good citizens,
boosters, landowners, business men
and others who have the best inter-
ests of the Rogue River Valley at
heart are urged to put their shoul-
ders to the wheel and give their best
efforts toward securing the new in
dustrial proposition.
Some acreage is being signed daily
and many owning land are on the
fence, waiting for the coming of a
leader to lead them out. 1t is the
securing of signatures from this
class that the principal work will be
uohe III the next ten days.
Wednesday afternoon meeting
was held at Gold Hill, under the
auspices of boosters of that city, and
additional acreage was signed, many
farmers and landowners in that sec
tion being enthused with the project.
A diagnosis of the situation as it
stands today is that the outlook is
favorable, but not assured, and that
it will take the whole-souled, consci-
entious cooperation of the entire
valley to secure golden opportunity
to every man, woman and under
standing child. =
Those desiring to plant sugar beets
will confer with the secretary of the
Commercial Club.

Objects to Auto Service.

Editor Tidings: You are aware of
the fact that on account of lack of
patronage the Southern Pacific Co.
had to discontinue the motor service,
and you are also aware of the same
fact they have been compelled to lay
off train crews at Ashland, also other
employees, who have been your best
customers, who will onw have to seek
employment elsewhere, loss to, the
town and also loss of your business.
You have been giving your patronage
to people who do not pay taxes or
hardly ever buy meal in town. They
haul your goods trifle cheaper than
the railroad does, but you do not sell
your goods any cheaper on this ac-
count and no one but yourselves de-
rive any benefit.
The Southern Pacific Co. pays
more taxes and does more to the up
building of Ashland than all the rest
put together. Suppose the S. P.
would see fit to remove the stock
yards or car shops, or suppose the S.
P. employees of Ashland would form
a club and send to the outside stores
where they might be able to buy at
a cheaper figure, where would your
patronage come from then? AS an
employe OF the s. P. will ask you
to kindly consider this matter, and
consent to give your patronage to the
ones who are making Ashland wat 1t
is, and by working hand in hand with
the S. P. we will see prosperity, and
see Ashland one OF the leading cities
of the West

Ashland Cash Market
For Eggs and Poultry

w. w. Usher, representing out
side parties, has entered the local
market for eggs and poultry. He
pays spot cash on delivery at the
Vienna Bakery.
Ashland has always lacked a cash
home market for poultry products.
The raisers have been mostly com
PEELED to trade their eggs to local
merchants for supplies, which has
been much complained of by the pro-
ducers. We have been told that the
unsatisfactory local cash market has
been a great Encouragement to the
industry.
Mr.. USHER is backed by large
city dealer and is prepared to take
every egg and chicken that is offered
for spot cash.
The opening of this cash market
will prove great blessing to this
section. 1t will stimulate the culture
or chickens and in a few years, If
local raisers respond so as to insure
success of the venture in establishing
Ashland to as great poultry center
as Petaluma.
This climate is especially adapted
to thrifty poultry raising.

Heartily Approved

The splendid edition of the devel-

been sold, only about two hundred

mailing out the papers from The It'd

foreign lands. The war zone was not
neglected, many papers going to Bel
GUM, Germany. Hungary, Switzer-
land, England, South America, Homo

Almost every city of prominence
in the country received copies. This

TTaCkWalker Finds
Counterfeit Mold

Chief Porter has a counterfeit
mold which was found a short time
ago by a trackwalker, while making
his rounds. Only one-half of the
original mold was picked up. 1t is
made of plaster of paris and has the
indentions for the making of fifty
cent piece. A slot in the top provides
an opening through which the hot
metal can be poured. The mold is
cracked.
Chief Porter says that lately sew
eral bogus buffalo head nickels and
small change has been passed off on
different people, and has the idea
that there might be someone who has
molds and materials for making
counterfeit coins.

Kindness and cheerfulness have
been well received here. l will in

A stranger who was sick visited
here few years ago. While sitting
alone in one of the parks citizen
of this city came up and introduced
himself by saying he was a minister.
After visiting for an hour or more
the stranger asked the minister to go
down to the hotel and have lunch,
saying his wife belonged to the same
church in New York he did. So after
lunch the stranger said, 1--WE have to
go out to Waikiki beach today and
start tomorrow. We would like to
hear from you, so we will give you
our name and address," Which he
did by writing it on the back of a
$4,000 U. s. bond and under their
signatures he added ITO be used as
you think best for Christianity and
the brotherhood of man."
The George B. Cluett Memorial
home for poor girls was just as much
OF a surprise to the bishop. Mr..
Cluett of New York visited these
Islands in search of health-was
treated kindly and "as q part con-
sideration for kindness shown" pur-

paired and presented II to the poor

the tourist pay large prices for goods
that are not for sale-kindness and

Each Thanksgiving and Christmas

ceived gifts OF $1,000 and as high as
IS, 900 from tourists who visited here

Rainfall Is
About Average

The weather report given below
shows that the rainfall for the year
1914 has been 20.11 inches. Talk
all through the seasons has been to
the effect that this has been an un-
usually dry year, but the weather re-
port rather discredits this statement,
showing that we have fallen behind
only .39 inch from the average for
the past thirty-two years, which is
2O.5O inches. However, it must be
conceded that reports show that two
of the summer months were unusual
ly dry.
