Expect Land in
Jackson Soon Open

The land grant classification crews
who have completed the classification
of the o. & c. railroad grant lands
in Jackson and Josephine counties
and are about half through with
Douglas county, have knocked off
work for the winter. The camp
equipment has been shipped to Port
land for storage.
Opening of the lands in Jackson
and Josephine counties now awaits
the word from Washington, where
the classification figures are being
compiled Just how the lands will
be made open to entry is a matter Of
conjecture only as yet. There are
100000 acres altogether in Oregon.
Jackson county ranks second in the
amount Of grant land
BY withdrawal OF the grant lands
from the tax roll, the assessable valu-
alton of all the Grant land counties
dropped, and in Jackson county we
are paying some two mills higher
county tax az result. The lands
will be Iut back on the rolls, OF
course, as fast as entered upon.
Some of this land may be made
available to settlers the coming sum-
mer, and all Of il, will he subject to-
entry or purchase of timber within
the next two years, according to the
statement of l.. L. Sharp, chief OF
the field division of the general land
office for the district of Oregon,
Washington and northern Idaho.
About half of the grant, according
to Mr.. Sharp, will be available for
homestead entry. On the other half
there is timber variously estimated
from thirty to seventy five billion
feet, which the government proposes
to offer for sale.
All land containing less than
100000 feet of timber to the quar-
ter section will be classified as gov
ernment land and this ratio will pre-
vail for every forty-acre tract.
Many people will be drawn to Ore
gon by this offer of government land
at a fair price, and these people will
not be paupers, or dependent on
wages, but for the most part families
who have accumulated competence
and seek to better their condition by
getting more land and making their
homes in a state with a mild and
equable climate and fertile soil.

Open Season for Candidates Closed

The open season for candidates

ply of petitions duly signed and de-
posted in the vault Of the recorders
office. The election will be held next

John H. Dill in the second ward, and
j. N. Dennis against A. L. Lamb in

interest in elections by backing their

know which to choose. The names

Hold Celebration
Matter in Allegiance

The Commercial Club committee
composed of F. D. Wagner A. c. Min
niger, Louis Dodge, H, o. Frohbach
and F. II. Walker, who are consider
ing the advlsability of holding an
other celebration the coming sum
mer, met last Friday and decided to
consider the matter few days long
er before arriving at a definite con-
clusion as the citizens generally have
failed to express themselves very
strongly either for or against the
proposition. The committee is there
fore holding the matter in allegiance,
and all who either think the celebra-
tion would be a good thing or who
are against it should notify any of
these gentlemen by telephone, mail
or word of mouth, or leave word at
the Commercial Club.

The Big Day to Be Saturday
Enormous Crowd to
Be Cared F or

Hundreds and hundreds of people
have been waiting for the one big
day of the Beebe & Kinney sale. It
is well-known fact now that the big
store is actually going out of busi-
ness. The day is set and the time
draws near. People have been wait
ing for the day when prices would
be marked down to the lowest limit.
Mr.. Langhorne, who has managed
the closing out of this stock, has des-
ignated Saturday, December 16, as
the day on which to give the people
of Ashland and vicinity the most re-
markable markeddown sale it has
been their pleasure to see.
The Beebe & Kinney sale has been
most wonderful one in many re-
spects. One good thing about it has
been that it has saved thousands Of
dollars for the people who have pat
ronized the store Prices on all mer-
chandise have been steadily advanc-
ing, and they have been greatly re-
ducing their prices.
Had it not been for this sale the
buying public would have had to pay
much higher prices for all kinds Of
needed merchandise.
The store will open promptly at
9:55 a. m. and the large sales force
will be ready to serve the large
crowd sure to be present in order to
secure their share of the wonderful
bargains to be offered. ~

New SiskiyOu Town
Is FlOuriShing

Grenada, the new townsite in
northern California, is flourishing.
1t is expected that the new hotel
at Grenada will be ready to open
some time this month. The building
is now we'll along toward completion
and one can get a fair idea of what
the structure will be when finally
opened. 1t will be strictly modern
in every particular.
Material for eight new bungalows
has been distributed at various points
about the townsite and work on the
new 40x100-foot warehouse along
the Southern Pacific track is making
good progress.
The Southern Pacific Company
has a crew of men at work laying a
new siding and men are also at work
digging trenches for water mains and
sewers.

Historic Store
Soon to Close Doors

Beebe & Kinney's store, one of the
historic business establishments of
Ashland, is to close its doors in few
days. Away back in the sos this
store was Mccall & Mills, the original
owners and both Ashland pioneers.
Then Vaupel, Norris & Drake became
owners of the store. Mr.. Kinney then
replaced Mr.. Norris, then Mr. Beebe
replaced MIR Drake, and as the final
change Mr.. Vaupel sold out, leaving
the business in the hands of Beebe
and Kinney.
During the tremendous closing out
sale which has been carried on un-
der the direction of ]. S. Langhorne,
merchandise has been sold for an
average of more than six dollars to
each man, woman and child in Ash
land. Over 5000 pairs of shoes have
been sold, more than 100000 yards
of piece goods, giving some idea of
the monster stock which Beebe &
Kinney carried to accommodate the
every need of their customers.
During the managership of Messrs.
Beebe and Kinney the store has had
its most successful years. These gen.
tlemen have now decided to retire
from the business, having other in
terests in the valley. Saturday is to
be the biggest price slashing day of
the sale It is the intention if posi-
BILE to sell out everything in the store.

Fred D. Wagner
Candidate for Mayor

A petition bearing more than two
hundred names was filed with Re-
corder Gillette yesterday asking that
the name of Fred D. Wagner be print
ed on the official ballot as a candi-
date for mayor. Mr.. Wagner has ac-
cepted and is now a candidate.
The Tidings favored the candidacy
of Hon. r. p Neil for the place, but
he had already served twice and had
enough.
Mr.. Wagner is a substantial and
unassuming man, property owner,
and is free from factional alliances.
therefore the Tidings does not object
to his candidacy, His administration
at least, will be busineslike and free
from precOnceived prejudices.

Says Crescent City
Will Get Harbor

h. L. Kendall, prominent real
estate man of Crescent City, was in
the city the first of the week attend
ing to business matters. Mr.. Kendall
says Crescent City is confidently
looking forward to the granting of
an appropriation for a harbor there
by the coming congress. He states
that Jim Owens, head of big Del
Norte timber interests, will be sent
back to the coming session of con
gress and that the Crescent City folks
confidently believe that the city has
fifty-fifty chance of securing the
appropriation, The outcome of the
presidential campaign in California
is expected to be a big influence for,
as Mr.. Kendall says, "the democrats
ought to have a soft place in their
hearts for California"
The road oyer the mountains from
Crescent City was pretty wet, accord
ing to Mr. Kendall, and he expected
to run into snow on the return trip.
Next spring the Del Norte county
intend to vote bonds to build first
class road out to connect with the
macadamized road running out OF
Grants Pass. This road IL built
would be a great asset to Crescent
City. AS a scenic wonder it would
approach the Siskiyou grade and
Columbia River highway.
Mr. Kendall says things are quiet
now at Brookings, thirty miles north
of Crescent City on the coast, and
that the crew has been cut down for
the present, but that the company
expects to begin operations soon after
the first of the year with a big pay
roll and probably will employ 1900
men by summer.

Sanitarium Need

Somebody has been using extra
