Sunday Concert
Promises Much

Manager Lawrence of the Lyric
Theatre will direct an eight-piece or
chestra in a number of popular con-
cert numbers Sunday evening.
Among the old favorites will be the
"Sextette from Lucia" and grand Sc
lections from the Bohemian Girl" !"
This will be the biggest orchestra
both in numbers and in quality that
has ever been gathered together from
local musical talent. A great amount
of special preparation is being in
dulged in for the Sunday evening con-
cert and music lovers are assured of
a rare treat. The concert will begin
at 1880 sharp and will be given to-
gether with picture program of ex-
ceptional merit, with no advance in
the price of admission. Such an am
bilious musical undertaking has
never before been attempted in low
priced moving picture theatre and
will no doubt become a great draw
ing card.

Hotel Builder
Is Interested

French Lick Springs in Indiana
constitutes one of the big watering
resorts of the United States. Tom
Taggart, who owns and manages
them, is one of the big politicians and
promoters of the middle west. He
has a friend in Ashland, who recently
wrote him and sent descriptions of
the Ashland springs and development
project. Taggare is noted for build
ings hotels at favored places and OPP
perfume times. He writes back to his
Ashland friend that the proposition
here looks good to him and that he
expects to look into the matter fur
ther later on. Just now he states he
is unable to do anything owing to the
fact that he is expending a large sum
of money improving his holdings at
French Lick.

at Springs
ISSPrOgreSSing

Preliminary work on the actual
development of the springs by tho
Smith-Emery people is going steadily
forward. Work so far has been con-
fined mostly to the Berkeley and
Dodge springs Mr.. Emery returned
this morning from San Francisco,
where he went to make arrange
ments for a drilling outfit. An eX-
pert driller will arrive from that city
tomorrow and the wells will be
reamed out to ten inches. Very salts
factory progress has been made so far
and it will be only a matter of few
weeks until the big crews of men will
be put on the ditch work.
The springs commission has ap-
proved the detailed plans for cement
work around the Berkeley sulphur
spring and work will be started there
on in the near future. Excavation
for the central station in the park has
already been started and plans are
practically complete for same. They
will be submitted to the commission
and approved within few days.
An artesian bore will be made near
the lithia spring in an attempt to de-
velop still further flow of lithia and
a possible gas flow.

Mckee Receives
Light Sentence

:! D. Mckee, former assistant post
;-G-.cc here, received a sentence of
81" f-ys' incarceration in the Multi
nomah county Jail as a result of the
tangle over postoffice affairs in
which he implicated himself, E. d.
Briggs has been in Portland at the
trial in behalf of Mr.. Mckee during
the past week. McKees offense must
have been a slight affair in view Of
the sentence which he received, and
his many friends here will be glad to
learn of the light punishment because
of his wife and children. Portland
papers exaggerated the affair and
made it appear that he had fled from
Ashland to the east, statement dis
tinctly untrue as everyone who knew
him here knew. Mr. Mckee moved
from Ashland to Indiana and made
no effort to conceal his movements.

Many High School
Positions Open

University of Oregon, Eugene
Changes in high school staffs, or ad-
ditions to them, are uncommonly
numerous this year, according to the
requests so far made by the boards
of directors for candidates whom the
University Of Oregon appointment bu-
reau will recommend More re-
quests have come this year than dur
ing the whole of last year" said Fred
c. Aver, professor of education and
director of the bureau.
Professor Aver suggests two reas-
ons for the numerous openings: Ore
gon boards of directors show increas-
ing tendency to look for state trained
teachers; and the new union high
schools are providing numerous
teaching places.
The drift toward state trained
teachers instead of eastern teachers
is due to improvement in state stand
ards and to the fact that much thor
ough investigation of the qualifica-
tions of candidates is possible when
their education has been obtained in
Oregon. Often they can be looked
over personally; usually the refer
ences they give are of persons we'll
known in the state, and the appoint
ment bureau of a state institution
can be consulted.

Lure OF the West
Draws Educators

The lure Of the great west is draw
ing a class of school teachers to the
west which could not be obtainable
under any other conditions. Super
intendent Briscoe has received stacks
of applications from eastern teachers
who desire to come west. 1t is said
that the Portland schools have re-
ceived three thousand applications
for the thirty positions which are va
cant. According to President Camp
bell of the University of Oregon, he
has received fifty applications from
exceptionally high-class educators in
the east for the ten positions which
are open.

College Will
Furnish Farm Help

The Oregon Agricultural College
offers its services to farmers needing
some farm labor this summer. Many
of the students are glad of chance
to work. In the past, farmers who
have employed students have eX-
pressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the character of their work.
Many of these young fellows are
specializing and can give extra good
service in their own lines, such as
creamery, cannery, cheese factory
employment and the like. Any Ore
gon farmer who wants help from the
college will be furnished a blank on
application, and can be fairly sure of
getting the tvpe of men he needs.

Chester Stevenson Named For

Mayor Johnson has appointed Ches-

Enders Still Kicks
On Commission

II. G. Enders complains lately on
the street because the Tidings is
charging the regular rate for print
ing the expense account of the
springs water commission. He says
the Tidings ought to print it for moth
ing.
For fourteen months prior to the
month of January, this year, the It'd
ings paid man 500 per month sal
ary to take the place of Mr.. Greer on
the newspaper so that he could de-
vote his time to the springs work for
nothing.
After the subscription notes had
been returned to those who signed
them Mr.. Greer was the only man in
Ashland who was out any money on
this enterprise, and he was $1,400
behind on that one item besides other
money he had spent out of his pocket
in the enterprise
Now if Mr.. Enders will be kind
enough to pay back to Mr.. Greer the
$1,400 he spent last year in order to
be able to give his time free to the
city, then the said Enders will be in
a better position to ask Mr.. Greer to
print the financial proceedings of the
springs commission without pay.
In the meantime the Tidings will
go right on performing the service
and charging for it at five cents a
line, the same price that Mr.. Enders
pays for his business reading notices
Such foolish and unjustifiable crit.
icism makes us tired, but it is to be
expected from that source.
Five cents the line is the price paid
for legal notices by all lawyers, by
Jackson county, by the city of Ash
land and by every other municipalit!
in the country.
Why should not the Tidings bt
paid that price for the service? End

NUMBER 1O3
Short Session
And Much Routine

Tuesday evenings council meeting
was short and to the point. Nothing
came up of momentous importance,
but the city fathers waded through
lot of routine business. After the
reading of the minutes the fire COM
mittee was instructed to investigate
the request of John Rusk to build an
addition onto his Fourth street bak-
cry. Permission to move a building
through the streets was referred to
the street committee. The fire COM
mittee was ordered to consider the
purchase of 500 feet of u inch fire
hose and the retreading of the fire
truck tires.
On recommendation OF the sanitary
committee the Ashland Trading Com
pany was given permission to put in
temporary outlet from the vegeta-
bic stand in the vestibule to the gut
ter. 1t was made plain that this per-
mission was revocable so that as soon
as other arrangements be made, over
flow of this kind may be otherwise
disposed of.
Councilman Cunningham reported
that a telephone had been installed
in the city electrisians office.
Mrs. Chapman appeared before the
council in regard to the petition to
redress for the death of Lloyd Chap

take up the matter in executive ses-
