Court Protects Sportsmen.

Webster ~ supreme court decision
Of unusual Importance to the hunters
and fishermen of this state has been
handed down by the state supreme
court per Judge J. II. Mccoy in the
case OF Flisrand ys. Madison ct al.
The effect Of the decision is to do
away with the leasing OF the best
shooting grounds IN the state by men
of large means, to the exclusion Of the
sportsmen of limited income who are
unable to lease private game preserves
for the hunting season. For several
years the practice OF leasing the best
duck passes in the state by men of
wealth both from within and without
the state, has been increasing alarm
inglv. until there are few real good
shooting grounds which have not been
covered by leases. The result has
been the exclusion Of the ordinary
sportsmen for the benefit Of the few
Of wealth.

CITY COUNCIL EXPRESSES ASH
LAND SENTIMENT.

Highway action by the city council
last Tuesday night brought out one
dominant fact. The city council is
determined to not heed personal
rivalry and animosity between Med
ford and Ashland citizens. Both
must prosper If either prospers. Lo-
cal men who attempt to work off per-
sonal and political grudge as COM
munity sentiment will meet with lit
tie support from the Ashland public.
1t must be made plain that in such
attacks citizens represent none but
themselves. Ashland is firm in the
belief that hearty good feelings and
helpfulness of one community toward
another is essential to the future
prosperity of the Rogue River VAL
ley, and she will be found holding
forth a friendly hand to all without
in the least permitting any commun-
ity to give her the worst of it without
her fighting back to the last ditch.
Any attempt on the part of any citi-
zen to have it appear that his per-
sonal grievance is a community senti-
ment will meet with positive rebuke.
Further, the Rogue River Valley is
on the eve of great forward move
ment and unprecedented develop
ment. No citizen should be allowed
to stand in the way of needed public
improvements. While sympathy is
due the aggrieved and injured, public
work must not be hindered, but be
put forward with a view to future
needs as we'll as present require
ments.

WILL HUM SOME.

Some of the things Immediately in
progress in Rogue River Valley:
Cement plant at Gold Hill. just being
completed. New federal building at
Medford to cost 100000, contract
let to be completed in fourteen
months. Sugar beet factory to cost
100000 and employ $50 men, which
will directly create labor for 500 men
more in the beet fields, force diversi-
fled farming, stock raising and dairy
ing. The mineral springs project at
Ashland to cost s175,000, together
with new tourist hotel to cost $780,
900, a sanatorium to cost between
s150,OO0 and 5000, 900. one-half mil
lion dollars invested in apartments
and furnished cottages. and a good
prospe t for a million-dollar irriga-
ton plant. All this coming within
the year 1915 will make the valley
hum. There is no room for pessim-
ism in the Rogue River Valley. She
will go some this year.

HOW A SURGEON WAS BUSTED.

Once upon time a certain sur
geon lived in town. He was an
able surgeon, but, as happens every
where, sometimes he lost a patient
under the knife. Owing to an old
fogy ethics established in the long
ago when surgery was a "profes-
sion" instead of business, he could
not consistently contribute advertis-
ing patronage to the local newspaper.
All he could do was to subscribe and
watch the paper for complimentary
notices regarding his superior ability
as surgeon. When he had an un-
usual or delicate operation he was
always careful that the proper news
story was written so as to bring out
his exceptional ability to the best ad-
vantage-but he never paid even for
Notwithstanding that such
news stories did more to establish
his reputation and bring him big fees
tnan his success Justified.
But, one day, in an unguarded mo-
ment a cub reporter on the paper,
who did not understand the relation
of surgeon to newspaper, or how
touchy surgeon was about some
things, inadvertently printed a story
about patient dying under an oper-
alton at his hand; whereupon the
surgeon became very wrothy and
stopped his paper. Then he was not
contributing one penny to the news
paper and the editor did not feel
much like scratching the back that
refused to scratch his OF course, as
time went on the surgeon had other
mishaps and other patients died un-
der his knife. The newspaper quit
lying and told the truth about his
operations. When somebody died
under an operation the newspaper
wrote the STORY in cold truth, with
out malice, and-would you believe
it?-within one year the surgeon
was busted. He had lost his reputa-
tion.

NEW SCENIC DRIVE.

The dawn of the new day is here.
The first work on the forward resort
movement for Ashland was begun
last week when the city began actual
construction on the new scenic drive
around Sentinel hill. This will prove
one of the most attractive drives on
the coast, following, as it does, the
rim of the canyon by easy automobile
grade to high elevations, overlook
ing not only beautiful Ashland creek
and the park, but the entire valley
for miles. Immediately after Janu-
airy 26, at which time the bonds will
be sold, preparation for actual con-
struction on the springs project will
be made, plans for the new tourist
hotel will be finished and a number
OF apartments, modern and we'll To-
Gated, will be projected. Verify, Ash
land is about to come into her own.

THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY.

Now that the county court and the
city council have come to an agree
ment to adopt the state engineers s
route on the Pacific highway through
the Billings property, every citizen
should submit gracefully to the edict.
No man can be injured by public i'm
provements without being compen-
sated for his injury. The law DEGREES
it, and by so doing the law also i'm
plies that no citizen has the right to
block public Improvements. In the
course of advanced society few things
can be accomplished for the public
good without grieving someone.
Every one should learn to take his
medicine and not attempt to block
the onward march of prosperity. This
the Tidings believes Mr.. Billings and
his friends will do. Barring dilatory
action on the part of Mr.. Billings the
work will now pI oceed to completion.
The county court has agreed to go
at once TO work and finish the high
way at the entire expense of the
county.
