Ashland Boy
Makes Good

We are just dropping you a
line to tell you what one Ash
land boy is doing. Clarence P. Hem
niger walked out of Ashland this last
summer, broke and in debt to the
Polytechnic Business College.
He came over to Marshfield and
started work with the F. Il. Conway
Company on the company's big new
apartment house. He worked through
the entire contract, and by his eXcep-
tional diligence and faithful service
he was transferred from one crew to
another, from the rough carpenter
work, through plumbing, heating,
plastering, and wound up with the
painters, being the only one kept ON
this way.
He gave such excellent account OF
himself that he was finally given en-
tire care of the building, from the
oil-burning plant in the basement to
the entertainment hall on the roof
garden. He has made exceptionally
good, making many friends with all
the tenants and others, and has final
ly saved his money, paid off his Ash
land Indebtedness and is now a stock
holder In the Myrtle Arms, incorpo-
rated, with no slight amount of stock
to his credit. This corporation owns
the Myrtle Arms apartment house,
erected by the f.. Il. Conway Com
pany, and which building is paying
a gross income of over $4,000 per
year, showing n good return on tho
$50, 900 invested.
f. e. Conway recently sold num-
ber of his shares in the above build
ing to liquidate indebtedness in

There were six vacancies and eleven

exception as formerly. ls
The annual inspection is due for

class shape. The inspecting officer
will be a regular army man. Exact
ly whom it will be is not yet known.

D. M. Lowe Sends
Dry Farming Exhibit

d. M. Lowe, the local rancher who
has won nationwide fame for his
dry farming exhibits, shipped what
he says is the best display that he
has ever gotten together, to the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition at San Fran
cisco last week. Mr.. Lowe will leave
Friday for the city to install his ex-
hibit and will remain in charge of it
through the summer.
His shipment of bundled grains,
which was sent by freight, weighed
2,400 pounds. A shipment of the
various fruits, vegetables and the
like was, sent by express, this portion
of the exhibit weighing 500 pounds.
The freight shipment included 240
bundles of sheaf grain, almost all of
different varieties.
The exhibit includes one hundred
and eight varieties of thresh grain,
eighty-four varieties of canned fruit,
three dozen kinds of jellies, twenty
two varieties of dried beans, sixty
five kinds of field and garden seed,
sixty kinds Of corn, and fifty varie-
ties of green fruits and vegetables.
He also takes with him a four-foot
panorama of his ranch on the foot
hills across Bear creek.
Everything in his exhibit was
raised on his place and constitutes
the strongest piece of evidence that
could be procured that the Rogue
River Valley is the greatest section
in the world for diversified farming.
Mr.. loves display will not be in
the Oregon building but will be en-
tered In the Agricultural palace, for
competition with the rest of the
world.
Mr.. loves first big triumph in
this line was at the st. Louis fair
where he carried off the first hon
ors. At that time he was represent
ing California. Since then he has
exhibited at numberless fairs and
land shows and has never failed to
carry off the first prize. After the
Chicago land show last year, at
which he was one Of the biggest and
most sought after men, Mr.. Lowe in
tended to retire from such work, but
he was finally prevailed upon to en-
ter an exhibit at the Panama exposi-
tion. and Ashlanders believe that his
record will be sustained.

Dr.. COnkIin'S Talk
Well Appreciated

DR.. S. E. Conklin of the University
of Oregon lectured in the library
building last Friday to a large and
appreciative audience. Through
some misunderstanding it was an
nounced that DR.. Conklin was to talk
on Worry" He, however, did no.
know this and came prepared for his
lecture on the Psychology of the
Crowd" which he delivered and
which was enjoyed as much if not
more than the other would have been.
Mr.. Conklin interpreted the word
crowd" in way which was new to
most of his hearers, saying that a
crowd was not merely a large number
of people but was number Of people
who were all swayed by the same
thought or intention. Thus a rail-
road station might be full of people,
some talking, some reading, some
planning, all thinking of variety OF
subjects The train comes in and i'm
mediately all thoughts are conferred
on one thing, the gathering of indi-
viduals becomes a crowd.
He gave several other Illustrations
and then went deeper into the sub
iect, discussing what made the crowd
thought and the various causes and
effects. Dr. Conklin is an effective
speaker and there is no doubt but
that he made the gathering into n
crowd" before he had spoken long.
The extension service of the state
university is doing great deal Of
good and is being more and more ap-
preciated.
The next lecture of the course will
be delivered in the high school build
ing on February 5. The exact hour
will be announced later. The local
school authorities are experiencing
difficulty in getting the number OF
speakers to appear before the stu
dents which they would like to have
and will therefore have the Eext lec-
ture during school hours, In all prob
ability, 1t being understood, however,
that the general public is urged to
come.
Joseph E. Shaffer of the Universit''
of Oregon will be the speaker and has
been asked to speak on ths EARLY
History of the Northwest" subject
on which he is an authority. Mr..
Shaffer is an old friend OF Ezra Meek

Central Point Will
Play Locals Saturday

Next Saturday evening the Central
Point high school basketball team
will tangle with the local high-school-
ers in what promises to be a real bat
tie. For the first time in history
the Central Point school has turned
out a team which is to be reckoned
with for the southern Oregon cham
pionship. Jumbo Mayfield, who at
tended school here this last fall and
whose huge bulk was such an aid to
the local footballers, will play center
for the visitors.
The Ashland team will probably
start the same as last Saturday. A
preliminary between the girls teams
of the Central Point and Ashland
high schools will start at 7:40 sharp,
the boys game at $3.50 o'clock. With
the good showing made by the locals
in last Saturdays game, enthusiasm
is gaining by leaps and bounds and
the student body is waking up to the
fact that they are represented by a
basketball team worthy of the name.
Auto service will be run from But
ler's to the school gym and the ath-
letic management will see to 1t that
all who wish such service may be ac-
comomdated.

Debating Team to
Meet Medf0rd

The Ashland high school debating
team was chosen at tryout held last
week. The team as chosen consists
of Robert Spencer, Kenneth Lilly and
Leroy Ashcraft. Ashcraft has had
previous experience, having debated
against klamath Falls two years ago.
While the other two boys are new
to the debating game, they are both
eloquent speakers and fine students
and should render a good account of
themselves. For the first time in the
history of debating the team is COM
posed of three athletes, Ashcraft be-
ing football veteran and Lilly and
Spencer being all around men, hav-
ing letters from every branch of
sport. This fact rather goes to prove
that, contrary to the general idea,
boys who waste their time" on foot
ball and the like are as we'll If not
better qualified for the more intel
lectual departments of high school
life, since the debating tryout was
open to the entire school.
The first debate will be held in
Medford with the high school team
of that city, on February /. The
question which will be debated is,
Resolved, that the government
should own and control the rail-
roads" Ashland will uphold the neg
ative.
Glendale, Grants Pass and Central
Point are the other schools in this
district that have teams entered in
the league, and the winner of the
Ashland-Medford debate will meet
one OF these three. Thus by a pro-
cess of elimination the field will be
cut down until the winner in this dis
trict meets the winner of the next
district north and so on until the
final, which is held in Eugene.

Auxiliary Water Bonds
Sold to Local Syndicate

Bids on the $175,O 900 auxiliary wa
ter bonds we're opened by the council
as advertised on Tuesday night. Two
offers were made, one by the Port
land Trust & Savings Bank for par
and accrued interest to date of deliv-
cry with commission of 4.07, and
one by ex-Mayor Neil for par and
accrued interest.
The council adjourned until We'd
nesday at 2 o'clock for consideration
of the bids. In the meantime the
matter was taken up with the city
attorney and it was decided that the
Portland Savings Bank bid was of
such character that it could not be
considered. That left the local syn
dicate bid, represented by r. P. Neil,
as the only one. Award was made to
Mr.. Neil at par and accrued interest
to date of delivery.
1t is understood that the local syn
dicate made the purchase, not with
the hope of profit, but with the view
OF helping the work forward Mr..
Woody, the Portland bond man, i'm
mediately offered to take the bonds
off the syndicate's hands at the price
he had offered the council. This
offer is under consideration and will
likely be consummsted within a
week.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-01-28

In the meantime the springs water
commission will get in touch with
Smith, Emery & Company and the
preliminary work will be done in
readiness to begin actual construc-
tion within thirty days.
The bond house of Morris & Com
pany of Portland and the ]. w.
Wright Bond Company of Denver
also had representatives here, but
upon discovering that the bonds
could not be bought under par from
the city they did not bid, saying that
they had been unable to find a mar
ket for them over 95 cents on the
dollar.
While the syndicate, in buying
them from the city at par and selling
them to the Portland Trust & Saw
lngs Bank on basis of 95.3, sus-
tanned quite loss, it is quite sure
that more than the loss sustained can
be saved on the contracts by being
In a position to pay cash for the
work.
And the further fact that three
bond companies were on the ground
in competition for the issue, one of
them outbidding the others, indicates
that the bonds were well sold by the
syndicate considering the present
state of the market.

High School Team
Beats Etna High

season were played last Saturday
evening in the high school gymnasi-
um. The Ashland teams started the
season right by winning both games
from the Etna Mills team.
The final score of the girls game
was 16 to IL in favor of the local
girls. The girls team this year is
much lighter than formerly but have
developed passing system and sys-
tenn for defense which simply
swamped the heavier team from Scott
Valley. In former years the girls
preliminaries were looked upon more
as necessary evil to be endured
while waiting for the main event,
than as a game worth seeing for its
own sake. This year all this will be
changed as the girls put up a game
of fast, clean ball, and we predict
that the girls will draw as we'll as
the boys before the cned of the sea-
son.
Eunice Grubb was the star of the
red and white, getting five field goals
and converting four of nine fouls.
Miss Hughes did the stellar work for
Etna, scoring four times.
Although rather slow in starting,
the Ashland boys speeded up in the
second half and tucked away the
main event by score of Al to IL.
The first basket was secured by Etna
and seemed to demoralize the locals
to some extent, as they did not seem
able to get together and passed wild
ly. The hard fighting of Grisez final
ly managed to score, and from then
to the end of the half neither team
had much advantage. The half end
ed with the score 13 to II in favor
of the home guard.
Coach Klum must have injected
strong dose of talk into his men be-
tween halves, and when they got back
on the floor they played like demons
and really showed the game of which
they are capable. Bulletlike passes,
air-tight defense and accurate basket
shooting simply had the visitors out
classed, and Etna was only able to
score one point during the last
period.
AS far as individual work is con-
cerned the honors must go to Grisez,
who threw eight field goals, nearly
all of sensational nature. The rest
of the team all played steadily and
hard. A great deal of credit must
be given to Delsman. who appeared
for the first time with the local team.
"Climax" is a newcomer on the bas-
ketball floor, this being his first sea-
son, but he is developing into what
promises to be a very valuable man.
The crowd in attendance was not
as large as had been expected, the
high school students themselves fail
ing to support their team to any great
extent. 1t Is to be hoped that in the
future town spectators can have the
pleasure OF the singing and cheering
which has enlivened games in the
pats and which was totally lacking
last Saturday.

Notes From Weeks
Council Meeting

The council convened in their regu-
lar meeting last Tuesday evening at
Z o'clock. The main business Of the
evening dealt with the opening of the
bids for the $175,000 water bonds
and with the special election, both of
which are reported elsewhere in this
issue.
The meeting was called to order
with the largest crowd in attendance
that has graced meeting of the city
fathers for some time.
Among those in attendance were
two lady citizens of our city. Attend
ance at the council by the feminine
element has never been large, for
some reason or other, and the heads
of the city government appreciate the
interest taken by those who do attend
and hope that the time will not be far
distant when there will be as many
ladies as men present at their deliber-
ations.
Nearly all of the city departments
were represented, the police by Chief
Porter, the electrical by Art Strick-
land, street by Commissioner Fraley,
the water by Superintendent Hosler,
and the advisory by Attorney Moore
and Engineer Walker.
The first business was the reading
of the recorders report for the month
of December, 1914. This contained a
comprehensive record OF the city's
financial transactions. The report
was accepted.
Three bond houses were represent
ed in the audience, Mr.. Woody of the
Trust and Savings Bank of Portland,
Mr.. Swan of G. N. Wright & Co. of
Denver, and Mr.. Gilmore of a Port
land house which already has extern
sive bond holdings in and around
Ashland. Besides these, R. P. Neil,
who represented the local syndicate.
The street committees report Of
the condemnation proposition on the
drive was accepted.
There were seven men in the audi
ence and at the press tables from the
local newspapers. This probably ac-
counts for the presence of the chief
of police.
Most of the visitors left after the
bond proposition had been passed
upon, thus missing the announcement
Of the special election.
When Recorder Gillette got into
the reading of the proposed ordinance
to amend the charter he ran into one
item which read somewhat like this,
IAN act to amend an act entitled an
act to amend an act entitled an act to
amend an act" ad infinitum. A cas-
ual hearer would have surmised that
the charter had been acting up some
thing awful, but we are assured by
the recorder that this was actually
part Of the charter. Some kind of
action should be taken or the council
will find itself unable to transact any
business.
An ordinance was passed concern
ing the electric light plant, appoint
ing Mr.. Russell as superintendent of
the plant, Arthur Strickland as city
electrician, and including the three
present employees at the plant.
After the special election had been
ordered the council went into execu-
tive session, it being understood that
when they adjourned 1t was to meet
again at $3.50 p. m. the following
day.
At the adjourned meeting on We'd
nesday the council convened only long
enough to pass a resolution accepting
the bid of R. P. Neil at par and ac-
crued interest for the SITS, 900 water
