Leave November l

Rev. r. w. Farquhar of the Ash
land Congregational church has
handed in his resignation, to take
effect on November 1. Rev. Farqu-
har will 90 to Portland, where he has
work outlined. During his pastorate
the Congregational church has made
progress in many ways. Mr.. Farqu-
har has won a host of friends who
will regret seeing him leave. During
the past six months under Rev. Far
quhar's guidance the church has
gained the pledge of $1,000 to pay
off debt, most of it having been
paid. Mrs. r. D. Mills left the sum
of $500, which will be used for new
pews and carpet, and Mrs. Ella Mills
will have a memorial window in
stalled.
The board of trustees of the
church is making an effort to get a
pastor here to succeed Rev. Farquhar
so that the new man can take up the
work November I.

Golden Special Women Workers
Will Be Here Sunday Ais P. M.

Dubbed the Golden Special" by
victory-at any-length democrats, the
special train bearing fifty of the best
known women workers of the coun-
try will be here Sunday afternoon
for stop of thirty minutes. The
ladies will arrive at Ais at the main
line station and crowd of several
thousand is anticipated to greet
them. If these women who are COM
ing to Ashland are to be judged by
the golden acts which they done for
humanity, the special is indeed the
Golden Special" for never has Ash
land had an opportunity of seeing or
hearing women who have done as
much for humanity in many ways as
these women who are coming out Of
the east.
Since the day the special arrives
in Ashland is Sunday, there will be
absolutely no political speeches, but
two of the best known speakers of
the fifty will address the crowd on
matters of social service and better
ment.
A committee of Ashland ladies
will, with a committee of Medford
ladies. meet the train at Grants Pass
and accompany the visitors to Ash
land.
These women, most of them, come
from the east where women can not
vote, but they come from the very
centers of the nation and come with
a fuller understanding of the ma
tion's problems than their more priv
ileged western sisters. The women
of the west and the men as we'll
should show these easterners a real
burst of western enthusiasm and
spirit. Several thousand people
should hear the message which they
will bring to Ashland.
Women who are on board the
Hughes special, and they are all wo-
men of achievement in various lines,
are: Helen Warwick Boswell, Dr..
Katherine Davis, Maude e. Miner,
Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, Mrs. Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, Mrs. Chas. Sumner
Bird Miss Elizabeth Cutting, Mrs.
VIM. Einstein, Mrs. George E. Har-
vey, Mrs Nelson N. Henry, Mrs. Alex
ander Kohut, Mrs. Henry Moskowitz,
Mrs. Travis Whitney, Mrs. Maude
Howe Elliott, Miss Mary E. Drier
and Mary Antin.
They are to be Joined at Chicago

Chandler Rides
Nero 20 Seconds

A large number from here went
over to the Rodeo at Yreka last Sun
day and the Pacific highway was
alive all morning with cars from the
valley, The seating capacity at the
improvised roundup grounds in the
Yreka ball park was taxed and
good natured crowd rooted for In
dians, whites and negros alike in the
various wild west events.
jerks Murphy of Ashland took the
relay for the third consecutive day
without trouble, riding against Spears
with Klamath strings.
The feature of the day was the
ride of Love Chandler of Klamath
Falls on Nero, the bucking bull.
Chandler rode the plunging beast for
20 seconds, straight up, and then
appeared to dismount rather than
be thrown. 1t was as pretty an ex-
hibition of riding as was seen at the
Ashland Roundup and evoked great
applause.
Chandler and George Fletcher had
it neck and neck for the high honors
in bucking, but the Klamath rider
finally won out over the Pendleton
negro.
Managers of the local roundup
hope to get Chandler to come to Ash
land next summer.

Cheese Below Cost
To Make Ad Good

In Mondays issue of the Tidings,
an error in the ad of the White
House Grocery slipped through, and
klamath cheese was advertised at 10
cents a pound as an extra special.
This should have read 20 cents a
pound which is pretty close to what
the cheese cost. In order that Gus
toners of the grocery and readers
of Tidings' advertisements might not
be disappointed the White House has
sold the cheese at the price adver-
tised until the correction could be
made today, and the grocery and the
Tidings have borne the loss.

Railraad Wants
High DemulTage

Claiming that car efficiency can be
obtained and the present stringent
shortage relieved only by fixing q
demurrage rate which makes it an
incentive and benefit to the general
shipping public to release cars with
the greatest possible despatch, the
Southern Pacific Company, by its at
torney, Ben C. Dey, Thursday filed a
statement with the Public Service
Commission.
The report recommends the abro-
cation of the average agreement
rules and the adoption of the straight
rules and the cancellation of the "a
hours free time allowed to minor
railroads for switching. 1t is af-
firmed that the SO demurrage rate
in California has brought about a
greater car efficiency than is effect
i've in any other territory touched by
the Southern Pacific. The plan is
recommended especially for Oregon
where it is claimed that because of
the low rates and average" agree
ment five times as many cars are
held in excess of the free time limit
as are held in California.
The Oregon state demurrage rate
is 50 and its interstate rate is 81.
It is cited in the report that the Ore
gon law provides for maximum rate
of 81 which will allow the operation
of the proposed SO rate.
Frank ]. Miller, chairman Of the
commission, recently publicly stated
that the railroad company had pre-
sented a petition asking permission
to apply the SO rate in Oregon, but
the commission had refused, claim
ing that the So rate is one fair alike
to railroad and to shipper.
The report Of the railroad is in
tended to show that the California
shippers release their cars better and
more promptly than do the Oregon
shippers, and the effect of the report
is intended to cause the Oregon COM
mission to change its ruling.
Commissioner Miller takes the
view that the railroads should first
establish a depurrage rate on ship
ments intended for trans-oceanic des-
tinations instead of allowing the cars
to stand Indefinitely awaiting reload
ing of the goods onto ships.

Maps Give Heights

Bulletin 644, part o, of the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, gives descriptions,
latitudes and longitudes of 22 noun
tain peaks or buttes determined by
triangulation and of $50 points de-
termined by primary traverse in Ore

Each triangulation station is per-

The points listed under primary
traverse are mostly road crossings
and township and section corners.
All these positions are utilized by
the Geological Survey as the founda-

used by local engineers for the same
purpose or as checks on land sur

Says Tombstone
Trust Is Squirming

The Portland tombstone trust,
which has been running things with
a high hand in the Oregon metropo-
lis for the past several years, is
squirming under the heavy hand of
the law at last, according to Mr.
Blair of the Blair Granite company.
Some two weeks ago suit was
brought against combination of
Portland granite men by represen
tative of the Blair company under
the Portland antitrust ordinance.
The complaint charges the six or
seven firms implicated with combin-
alton for the purpose of keeping out
outside firms and keeping the prices
up. Results are expected in the near
future, according TO Mr.. Blair, and
at any rate the Portlanders will have
had enough of scare thrown into
them to preclude any further tactics
such as they have practised in the
past.
The combination was originally
formed to establish prices according
to the Local. men, but the Portland
ers have used IL to keep the local
granite out of the market. The
method of procedure employed, ac-
cording to Mr.. Blair is combined
knocking of the Ashland product.
First they told all prospective pur-
chasers of granite that the Ashland
granite was full of knots and streaks.
The Blair people exploded this by
exhibiting specimen after specimen,
freer from streaks and knots than
the other firms could show.
Then the tombstone peddlers told
everybody that the Ashland granite
had iron in it and would rust. This
charge is hard to met, according to
Mr.. Blair, since rust does not show
up for year or so but the granite
which has been out for year or
several years. which was taken out
by the Blairs or other quarrymen
from their quarry, has never shown
signs of rust.
The combined effort of several
dealers, standing up for each other
and knocking the Ashland granite
has had its effect, however, and the
Blairs are fighting now to put stop
to such unfair business methods.

Rogue Fishermen
Have Big Season

Rogue river, which for the 35
years since commercial fishing was
opened there by r. d. Hume has new
er failed to give forth an abundance
of salmon, outstripped all previous
records this year. The catch amount
ed to practically 10000 cases, and
the silverside run is yet to be packed.
If the pack were sold at 10 cents a
can the wealth of Rogue river, in
Guiding The vicinity Immediately ad-
jacent to the mouth, would be in
creased $2SS,OOO.
The fine run of fish made every
body prosperous in the Gold Beach
and Wedderburn neighborhoods. The
fishermen received high prices, the
boats which transported the supplies
to the canneries made big money and
the packers will have handsome prof
its.
Fishermen and observers of condi
tions account for the heavy receipts
of 1916 through the foresight of r.
l.. Macleay, manager of the estate,
who several years ago adopted the
custom of feeding the fry until they
we're much larger than salmon that
were released in former years. 1t is
now the custom to feed salmon until
they are three and four inches in
length, and 100000 of this size
we're released this season from the
hatchery near the mouth Of the
Rogue.-0regonian.

Clark Shows Up
Chamberlain'S Talk

A. E. Clark of Portland in force
full address before crowd which
Overflowed the Lyric Theatre ripped
Senator Chamberlain address to
pieces, point at a time, in con-
else, clear statement of virile facts.
And not only did he tear down the
edifice which "our George" had
erected, but on firm foundation of
facts and figures a new foundation
was built for republican success in
Ashland.
The Lyric Theatre proved far too
small and scores were obliged to
stand or he turned away last night.
George Andrews OF Me1rord opened
the evenings program with solo,
"BaI bara Frietchie," which was en-
Enthusiastically applauded and encored.
c. B. Lamkin of Ashland, who acted
as chairman, then introduced Fred
Mears of Medford, who spoke briefly.
MIR. Lamkin introduced Mr.. Mears
with the statement, "Mears and
Cummins took 'owa out of the hands
of special privilege and kept it out"
Mr.. Mears eulogized Senator La
Toilette and quoted him as saying
after the nomination of Governor
Hughes that Charles Il. Hughes will
be acceptable to the great body Of
republican voters, his ability, person.
al and political integrity being known
and admired throughout the United
States"
Mrs perozzi followed Mr.. Mears
and told briefly of the Hughes Wom-
ems Special which will be here next
Sunday at 4:15, and outlined the ac-
complishments of some of the women
workers who will be on this train.
Mr.. Clark was then introduced
and opened his speech with the state
ment: THE greatest issues of the
last onehalf century, both national
and international, are now confront
ing the United States. These prob
lens spring out of the futile diplo-
macy and statesmanship of the demo-
cratic party"
He then launched into review of
Governor Hughes record of accom-
plishment in New York state, show
ing the constructive legislation en-
acted during his governorship. He
stated that the great democratic
dailies, including a certain great
Portland paper, landed Charles E.
Hughes before the election as man
too big for the republican party to
nominate, and have since discovered
sinister motives" He compared
Hughes and Wilson's utterances at
the time Hughes was active in politi-
cal work in New York.
He then took up the points upon
which Chamberlain dwelt and by au-
thentic figures, quotations and re-
ports from democratic sources pinned
each point down and hammered It
with fact after fact until 1t was
shown up as erroneous or had disap-
peared altogether.
Mr.. Clark closed with an eloquent
plea for the election of Mr.. Hughes
and republican congress to carry
into effect policies having for their
object the protection of American
labor and American industry, and
the upbuilding of a prosperity Of
peace, not a prosperity that must
have a world war to sustain it.
