Expert Goes Over
Ashland Beet Acres

Sam Story, soil expert for the beet
sugar interests, was shown over the
Ashland district by D. Perozzi last
Thursday. Seventy-five acres we're
accepted with twenty more con
ditional. However there are pros
poets for great deal more for next
year. The farmers have sown a
great deal to wheat and other grains
and do not feel like plowing it up.
All in all he was we'll pleased with
this end of the valley and believes
that a great many acres will be put
into beets If the factory goes
through. Lack of irrigation was the
main reason for refusing acreage in
this territory. Mr.. Story has already
examined and passed 14O0 acres and
is covering the remaining territory
as fast as possible. A decision will.
be reached by the beet people this
week regarding the establishment Of
the factory.

dedicating the enclosed little conceit
to theihard-working editor Of the Tid-

(Set to Music by H. G. Gilmore and
dedicated to Editor of Tidings.)
know an Ashland girl, but 1 won't
say who;
Her hair is of the gold and her eyes
are of the blue,
And her smile is of the sweet and
her heart is of the true.
Such a pretty Ashland girl, but I
won't say who.
No! / WON'T won't!
meet her every day, but l won't tell
where;
1t may be near the high school by
the pretty thorn tree there,
And 1t may be in her garden, by the
rosebush fair.
Such pretty little girl, but l won't
tell where.
No! not II never tell.
I will marry her some day, but /
won't tell when.
The very smallest boys make the very
biggest men.
When I'm few years older we will
talk about 1t then,
But it's really quite impossible to say
just when.
Mo- we can't-we cant say
when.

A dynamite storehouse IN Grants
Pass, wherein is stored most of the
high power explosives used in mining
operations in southern Oregon, was
broken into Monday and several
sticks of dynamite stolen. 1t is from
dynamite that "soup," liquid nitro
glycerine concoction of dangerous
tendencies, is made. The process is
to put the dynamite in pan of cold
water, place on a stove and let sim
mer over slow fire until it is a
liquid. In this form it can be poured
into small holes. The police of the
different valley cities think this may
be the forerunner of an attempt by
yeggs to pull off a big job"
