taken prisoner by the Turks at Jeru-

The poor beggar was moved by the
story Of the pilgrim. He gave him tho

baker saw this kind act of the lame
beggar, and as u reward he gave him
more bread than he could have bought
for the penny
When the pilgrim came to Jerusalem
| he went Mt once to the Turkish gov

had gathered for his brothers freedom.
The governor, however, wanted more
money and would not let the brother 80.
The pilgrim said, This is al that /

The dispatch which the contempor-

himself 1t was cleverly worded, Dut
scarcely accurate in conveying the eN-

As The Herald understands it. the
bill passed was not Senator Pages
educational bill, but the Smith-Le7er
bill, which had been slumbering in
committee and was not scheduled FOR

The price Of coal is going up agar

The price of coal is going up again
in order to extort few more millions
from the people for the benefit of the
coal barons. The country needs a few
men in the United States senate like
Allen NJ Fletcher. He got after some
of the public service corporations in
Vermont and stopped their raids on
the people. He showed his courage
and backbone by so doing and would
do his share along the same line in the
U. S. senate. Notice that practically
all the corporation lawyers in Yer
mont are fighting Fletcher and support
ing Page. What do you think the rea
son is?

Blow Up Produce
Association Safe

Some time early Sunday morning,
burglars, who must have been eX-
perts, from the thorough and work
manlike job which they performed
blew up the safe in the Ashland Fruit
and Produce Associations office, Sc
curing about $40. Entrance was Sc
cured through window by breaking
the glass. The door was blown OF
the safe, the explosion breaking sew
eral windows and scattering frag-
ments all over the office. Probably
because of the proximity to the rail-
road yards, the explosion was not
heard by anyone in the neighborhood.
No traces of the burglars we're left
except two heel marks in front of the
safe. Not a single finger print-couid
be found or other clue Of any<aetFHe.

entered the same night, but nothfng

"The Ne'er.D DWELL"
Tonight and Tuesday

Tonight and tomorrow night the
Vining Theatre offers the greatest
production which has been thrown on
the screen in months. As great if not
greater than "The Spoilers" is the
great Rex Beach story of Panama,
"The Ne'er-Do- Well" The cast is
much the same as made the great
Alaskan picture, the story is Rex
Beach's greatest, and the Selig play
ers journeyed to Panama to get the
actual settings for this wonderful and
fascinating nine-reel picture. Kath-
lyn Williams, Wheeler Oakman and a
supporting cast of virile, Give" play
ers was gathered together to produce
this great Selig feature
The story of the Ne'er-Do- Well is
familiar to almost everyone. Con-
tanning, as it does, unrivalled oppor-
tunities for plot, action and thrilling
incidents, it is the ideal motion pic
ture story. The greatest achievement
of the age, the building Of the Pan
ANA canal, furnishes Inspiration for
the greatest picture of the age.
Special music and concert by the
Vining eight-piece orchestra accom-
panies the picture. Don't miss this
attraction.

affidavits to defend their reputation
against false and malicious charges.
The following affidavit and re-

Smith Emery contract on the springs

Grants Pass Gets
Monster SaWmlll

A sawmi,I of $4,000 daily capacity
Is to be established in Grants Pass.
Seven carloads of machinery are on
the way and the erection of the mill
will be rushed. Logs for the mill will
be brought in over the newly con-
structed railroad which extends into
the Illinois vaNey. Edgar Hafer of
Medford will manage the mill, being
associated with representatives of the
Twohy company.
The mill is one that is shipped in
the first instance to Butte Falls about
four years ago, and was to have been
erected to cut the fir timber there by
the Hart interests. About the time
the mill arrived Mr.. Hart died and
the estate was closed up without put
ting the mill into operation. 1t was
taken over by the Owens Of Medford,
by whom 1t has now been transferred
to the new company which is moving
il from Jackson county to Josephine 4
county.
The mill will be erected upon the
line of the Twohy railroad, on the
north side of the river, and with in the
city limits.
This mill is but one of Sc ,geraT new
industries which will ma .teriaTize in
Grants Pass within II. 20 next few
weeks, resulting upon the opening of
the vast territory to the west by the
new railroad.

The First Southern Oregon District
Federation of Women's Clubs held its
third annual convention in Auxiliary
hall at Ashland April 26, 27 and 2S,
1916.
Miss Marian B. Towne of Phoenix
presided in her happiest vein through
out the entire session. She furnished
an unusually instructive and classy
program.
Following the registration of dele
gates, the entire audience made
America" ring, giving promise Of
the enthusiasm and intense interest
that would prevail.
Then we came right down to solid
thinking in State Superintendent
Churchills address on "The Influence
Of School Legislation. He spoke
earnestly on what can be done to i'm
prove rural schools, but does not ad-
vocate the "teacherage" of which the
Washington state superintendent is
so optimistic. BY this plan rural
teachers have cottage in each dis
trct which becomes a real home to
them during their incumbency. There
are twenty-eight such school-cottages
in Oregon, but in Mr.. Churchlll's
opinion they are a failure. Then he
gave us some measures necessary to
carry out the program of improve
ment through legislative enactment.
He explained at length the county
unit system and the county unit of
taxation. The schools OF our state
lie near to our hearts, and any meas
ure that will better them or our
teachers when set forth by so able an
advocate as State Superintendent
Churchill has great weight with us.

Buck Lake Project
Is Considered

The Buck lake irrigation PROPOSE
ton, which is offered the Talent-Ash-
land irrigation district by j. j. Cam
bers and the company which backs
him, is receiving serious considera-
ton from the irrigationists. Mr.
Gamblers has been asked to submit
detailed data concerning the project.
Through misinformation the state
ment was made last week that the
main stream which feeds Buck lake
is thirty yards wide and twelve feet
deep. This should have read thirty
feet wide and four feet deep, accord
ing to Mr.. Gamblers. This river flows
from an immense spring.

1t will be seen that in not single
instance did the Tidings charge $40
for 1 900 letter heads. The only item
that nearly approximates that is the
item of January 26, in which 1900
letter heads-not 1,000-were print
ed for $40. These were printed on
twenty-four-pound Exchange bond,
in two colors. This the Tidings sup
piled and charged the same price it
gets from other customers for the
same service, $40 for 1900 of them
