 The existence of an ancient federal statute giving the president authority to exercise his discretion in barring from the United States products of for eign countries has been discovered by the department of justice It will have a material effect on the anti-dumpinS legislation which the country favors. The provision is found in the general embargo act adopted by congress m 1907. Secretary of Commerce Redfieid Is advocating an amendment to the Clayton act in order to prevent goods made with cheap labor at the end of the European, war from being dumped in an American market to undersell American made goods. The department of Justice holds that the old law al- ready vests in the president power to prevent dumping of low priced goods in the home market by authorizing him to lay a sort of embargo on the ob- tectionally cheap imports, just as he has placed an embargo on exports oi arms to Mexico. Senator Walsh of Montana will, 1t Is said, propose an export tax upon arms and ammunition when congress meets.-New Britain Record.

"FERNINSTS."

Ashland has a few "ferninsts."
These have taken occasion to criti-
else the mayor and council for the
scrap between members of the police
force They talk like they knew bet
ter what should be done than the
mayor and council who are in close
touch with the situation and have the
power to examine into the merits of
the case and render an unbiased
opinion and intelligent action. In
the meantime curbstone opinions
only agitate the community and re-
suit in confusion. The people elect
ed the mayor and council to handle
such matters. So far the administra-
tion has indicated its ability to han
! die the business. No doubt 1t will
do so in this case, Unwarranted crit
icism, on hearsay testimony, should
be abandoned. None but enemies OF
the administration will indulge in 1t,
and If they could not find police
scrap as a foundation they would find
something else. Let the matter rest.
II Is simply a quarrel between indi-
viduals and the community should
not become agitated over II.

ORDER AND BEAUTY.

The next five years will make a
greater change in the Rogue River
Valley than all the years past. 1t has
Just now reached the stage where
every development will show it's best.
Since the Pacific highway was COM
pleted between here and Central
Point there has been noticeable ac-
tivity along 1t in the way Of tearing
out dilapidated fences and replacing
them with new, painting the posts
white in many instances, and remod-
cling old and building new homes and
barns. There Is a kind of enchant-
ment about solid Improvement that
begets more. Once the pace Is set
everyone becomes more or less inocu-
lated with the idea OF Improvement
and great changes in communities are
soon wrought with the little done by
each citizen. 1t is a good fever, so
let 1t rage. No need for quarantine.
It Is a mighty mean and cheap citi-
zen who will allow his old rickety
fence to join a span new white guard
along a paved highway. And no
body need tell him so. The silent
witness condemns him and his con-
science soon moves him to like bet
terment. His neighbor is in the same
fix. Hardly selfish indeed he must
remain to allow his old rapaldy
shackeldy fence to bugbear the land
scape in such environment. So the
work goes on step by step, one goot
Accomplishment inspiring another un
til the valley will be what it long agc
should have been, a place of orde
and beauty.

WHICH is THE MOST POPULAR
STORE?

Which is the most popular store in
Ashland? That's easy. The one that
advertises most in the local papers
and nearest fulfills its advertising
promises, Of course. That Is abso-
lutely true in any city. There Is
more money made in the judicious
use of printers ink than by any other
method. The livest merchant always
has the most popular store, because
he conscientiously combines good val
ues, low price and courteous treat
ment OF customers with proper pub
llcity and thereby reaps the largest
per cent OF business. That keeps his
stock clean. The idea that mer-
chant needs not advertise because he
has been long in business and every
body knows him is the .merest sophis-
try. II simply does not work. 1t
does not III modern merchandising

ing the store TO drift into the shop

INSPIRATION WILL SPREAD.

Within ten years the gap between
Ashland and Medford will be literally
closed. On both sides OF the Pacific
highway will be one long row OF we'll
ordered homes along a splendidly
paved street, with trees growing to
shade the avenue and houses not
more than twenty rods apart. I'M
provements like the highway when
solidly constructed attract just that
thing. The benefits far exceed the
expense in such improvements, es-
pecially when applied to main thor
oughfares.
The influence of Jackson county's
highway improvement will be notice
able throughout the state, for people
from other less progressive sections,
seeing what we have accomplished
here, will go home with renewed
spirit and start and continue agita-
tion until their community has done
likewise.
When the Farnum grade Is re-
duced as the county court has agree
1t shall be this spring, the way will
be continuous from city to city with
out a break and will be noted for its
smothness and beauty by every auto
tourist who comes this way. And
the Siskiyou grade will be a road OF
high reputation, for it is absolutely
the best mountain grade on the Pa
cific coast.
The highway should be paved from
Ashland to the foot of the Siskiyol
grade this summer at the same tim'
the first state expenditure Is beini
made over the grade-the state paw
ing joining the county paving at thu
foot of the grade so that paving will
be continuous from Central Poin
through to the California line as sooI
as practicable. If this Is speedil.
done that highway will prove the bes
investment Jackson county eve
made, but to reap the best benefits /
must be continuous in finish.

Commends High School Commercial
Course.

Editor Tidings: While the columns
of your paper have been filled with
the talk about the springs and their
benefits, | have thought that possibly
IL would not be out of place to write
you a few lines in reference to the
commercial course in our high school
that our students have been receiving
under the instruction of Mr.. Hodge.
1t seems to me no more than right
that our superintendent of schools,
Professor Briscoe, and Mr.. Hodge,
instructor of the commercial course,
should receive few words of praise
and appreciation for their efforts and
the wonderful results that they have
produced
It has teen my pleasure to receive
from the high school daily, one OF
these students, and l must candidly
state that it has been a very agree
able surprise to see the class of work
that several OF these students nave
put out. / am sincere in my remarks
when state to you that many young
ladies who have had several years Of
experience as stenographers are lef
far in the shade, comparing then
with the advanced class of Mr.. Hodge
in our high school.
II you do not consider it too mucl
of an imposition, am going to asl
you to give this space in your pape
in the hopes that some of the familie
who are interested in our springs ant
are reading the columns of your val
liable paper on the same will also b.
able to see a word or two in favo
of our schools.
| will state also that what has beel
said is not only true of the CONNER
cial course but of the several othe
departments in the school also.
Thanking you very much, indeed
for your courtesy in this matter,
beg to remain,

Mr.. Kings association with Rockefel-

Liberal leaders of the Dominion. many
of whom consider the relationship a.
source of party weakness. Mr.. King

mother daughter of William Lyon

King was educated at the University

NEW YORK RECEIVED
ITS DEATH Blow
EIGHTY YEARS AGO

If the leading business men of New
York in 1885 could be recalled to
earth and be permitted to gaze upon
the towering edifces which give low
L r Manhattan the most wonderful sky
fline in the world. they would doubtless
be overcome with surprise, not unr1ix-
ed with chagrin at their own futiIitv
sas prophets. For the leaders in the
business and commercial life of the
New Z orilx of 1881 were convinced that
the city had received It's death blow,
and that while in the course Of time
it might again become a fair-sized
town, it could never hope to compete
with Philadelphia as the first city of
America The future pre-emfnence of
the Quaker City was despairingIy adj
mitted by large proportion of the
population, while not a few pessimfsts
predicted that New York would also
have to play second fiddle to Boston.
To-day is the eightieth anniversary
of the great fire which gave rise TO
these predictions of evil, and which
covered New York with pail of
smoke and a mantle of despair. The
New Workers were scarcely to be
blamed for their cherries and hope
