Thomas Swings House and Rogue
Fish Bill Passes on Second Vote

against the measure, took the floor
and said that he had never known
the real conditions until that morn
ing, and asked that the bill be recon-
sidered.
The Macleay interests, which have
opposed the bill, are not expected to
reopen the struggle in the house
The next big fight will be staged late
this week in the senate.
A number of northern Oregon leg
islators switched over after securing
full Information regarding the fish
situation, and in several stirring
speeches declared themselves as op-
posed to going against the decidedly
strong sentiment which exists in
southern Oregon.

Oregon Absolutely Bone-Dry-
Lid Clamped on Friday Afternoon

At o'clock Friday afternoon the
state OF Oregon became bone dry and
a long campaign for real prohibition
was crowned with success, Governor
Withycombe signed the bone-dry bill
and Immediately upon his signing the
time for ordering liquor from the
California wholesalers came to a
close. All orders received up to Fri
day evening will be shipped by the
mail order houses, and the express
companies are given five days OF
grace in which to make deliveries.
The local express office did rush
ing business In the last few days, but
now has the shipment practically
cleared out.
The flood of last-minute orders
started early yesterday in almost
every city in the state. Messages
multiplied by leaps and bounds until
their trasnaction was brought to a
sudden halt at o'clock with the
final flourish of the governors pen
as he affixed his signature.
For the next four days, during the
period of grace, the express COM
panies will be busy. It is estimated
hundreds of quarts of liquor will be
sent over the line before Wednesday.
Like the telegraph companies, the ex-
press companies will probably have
to put on extra help to handle the
rush.
Governor Withycombe signed the
bonc-dry bill in the presence of Rep
resentative ]. E. Anderson Of The
Dalles. who introduced the bill in the
house of representatives; Senator B.
L. Eddy, who piloted the bill through
the senate; Mrs. Jennie Kemp, presi-
dent of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union of the state, and Mrs

Led by Representative c. M.
Thomas of Jackson county, the
sponsor for the effort to close Rogue
river to commercial fishing, the
forces favoring the legislation won
signal victory in the house at Salem
Friday when the bill was passed, SO
to 23, with Elgin absent.
Two days before, the leaders of
the fight against the closed river
went down to defeat after a spectacu-

Thomas changed his vote, giving him
an opportunity to call for reconsid-

Auto Search Law
Would Be Stringent

The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Sheldon N the house at Salem,
empowering the authorities to search
automobiles or boats suspected OF
carrying liquor, reads as follows:

lice officer acting within his iuris-
diction, and any special agent Of the

icating liquors are being carried or
transported by any boat, vehicle, or
other conveyance, shall search such
suspected vehicle, boat, or other con-
veyance. without a warrant, and
without any affidavit being filed,
and il such officer finds upon or In
the boat, vehicle, or other convey
ance, intoxicating liquors, he shall
seize the same and arrest any person
or persons in charge of such vehicle,
boat, or other conveyance, and take

liquor so seized forthwith, or as soon
thereafter as practical, before a JUS
tice of the peace, or any court in the
county in which said seizure is made,

violation of any of the provisions
in Chapter 141 of the gen.
eral laws of Oregon for 1915, and all
acts amendatory thereof, and such
officer shall without delay make and
file a complaint for such violation OF
law as the evidence justifies."

Grounding Leaves
Valley in Doubt

; The grounding saw his shadow in
Ashland when he emerged for his
customary look around on February
2, providing he arose early. In the
lower valley towns he failed to see
the sun, however, and it is a ques-
tion as to whether the Ashland
prophecy will hold good for stormy
spring. The sun shone brightly all
Friday morning, but later in the day
clouds rolled up, and if Mr.. Ground
hog happened to oversleep he might
have missed seeing his shadow.

INDIRECT BENEFITS.

The Tidings spends fifty dollars a
month-six hundred dollars year
purely on building up circulation. At
the present price of paper, subscrip-
tion at 50 the year, when the SUBJ
scriber is served by carrier, produces
no profit directly. Yet, the fact of
large circulation contributes indi-
rectly to the profit of the business by
supplying better medium for adver-
tisers and stimulating a greater vol
ume in that line. While there is no
profit in the subscriber, 1t still pays
to spend six hundred dollars a year
to secure them.
Just so with community building
1t pays to build up population. Much
money must be spent that brings NO
direct profit, but contributes to Gu
mulative thrift and growth.
The Tidings considers its donation
to the Commercial Club, to the pub
licity fund, to the Hyiu Hehe and
Roundup, as we'll as many other COM
munity enterprises, an investment to
build up community prosperity which
will indirectly stimulate its business
and make it more profit than those
subscriptions cost. 1t pays to do it.

AN INVESTMENT.

The next two or three years, If
Ashland is made to go forward, will
call for considerable sums which
must be raised by the business man.
Nothing ever stands still. It either
goes forward or slips back. Ashland
must 60 forward. A community will
slip back without effort or expendi-
ture, but it takes push and money to
make it go forward. What per-
centum would it add to every busi-
ness in Ashland to double the popu-
lation and create condition of pros
perity and contentment among our
citizens? It would double the value
of every business, rents would go up,
property values would rise, quick
home market for produce would be
established Everybody would bene-
fit from such condition.
AS it takes money and well-direct-
ed energy to accomplish that result,
everybody benefitting from 1t should
be willing to contribute energy and
capital necessary to make it go. In
doing that the citizen is giving moth
ing to the community. He is only
making an investment for himself,
These expenditures Of effort and
money should be viewed as an invest
ment-a money-making investment
not as donation. Citizens should
contribute their share with the same
idea as they purchase goods for sale
at a profit or buy property to rent,
as an investment.
This Is especially true in the
financing Of our water cure baths.
These will help the community and
help you with 1t. The same as to
funds for proper publicity purposes.
Absolutely nothing is accomplished
in any line without some sort of pub
licity. Especially in successful town
building proper publicity is great
factor. Therefore citizens should
subscribe to publicity fund with the
understanding that they are making
an investment out of which they will
make money, not a charitable dona-
tion in the interest of somebody else.
When this view is accepted such in
vestments become easy and free in
the necessary amount, because citi-
zens understand that the money will
come back in greater sum. Proper
publicity will put Ashland forward
and make money easier to get.
Therefore citizens should do theiI
share in getting together enough
funds for a comprehensive publicity
campaign during the next two years

TO USE MORE LOCAL TALENT.

The opinion seems to prevail gen.
orally that the talent at the Roundup
this year was too high class and pro-
fessional. 1t was as good show Of
the kind as can be staged. There
were six world champions on the list.
But, world champion riders who can
safely scratch high the wickedest
buckers and still sit erect without
pulling leather is too STACEY for the
novice. He wants the ground soft
so 1t won't injure the rider, and then
to see him tossed twenty feet high
by the rangey bucker.
All of this consideration led to the
suggestion that next year local talent
-buckaroos from klamath, northern
California, the Applegate country and
southern Oregon generally-be given
a chance. Therefore there will be
special prizes offered for non-profes-
sionals and a number of new and

WHAT is GERMANY?

Has not the time about arrived for
a suspension of all this superior Ian
guage about making the world safe
for democracy and ilberating the op-
pressed people of Germany from the
heel of the kaiser, and our awaken
ing to the fact that we are at war,
and very serious war? We do not
wish to make light Of the high-aimed
words of our president or of the
idealism that made this glorious re-
public enter the lists of battle against
autocracy, but let us look the facts
in the face.
If any one Of our readers has a
friend who is really ION the inside"
at Washington he will tell you that
the situation is most grave; that the
allies are at the crest of their power; ;
that the submarine menace is more
serious than is publicly admitted;
that Germany has today accomplished
all that the most sanguine iunker
could have hoped for, and that she
has only to maintain the defensive,
with matters progressing as they are,
and she will win the war. These are
facts! And some people are still de-
batting whether we should have en-
tered the war! And others are pro-
noting peace propaganda!
Now, who and what is this Ger
many we are fighting and which has
advanced a measurable step toward
the conquest of Europe if not of the
world? Who is 1t that has extended
the power of Germany from Riga to
Bagdad? Is it the kaiser, or Won Ter
pitz, or Won Hindenburg, or the whole
outfit of junkers? No! II is the
German people, united and firm, be-
hind the kaiser! This is the Ger
many the United States is fighting
and don't any one make any mistake
about it.
1t may be that the German people
are misled; that they have had wrong
ideas and wrong ideals instilled in
them from childhood; and that they
would have greater individual oppor-
tunity under a democratic form Of
government. But this is no time to
worry about the German people.
They would not thank us for it and
we have another job on our hands.

Auto Dealers Are

"A jollier or more easily enter
tanned bunch Of visitors never visited
Grants Pass than the Portland auto
dealers who reached the city yester-
day afternoon Wednesday,. They
were easy to entertain because they
entertained themselves.
"The bunch was no sooner in town
than its members began to scatter,

where most inclined. Some were fish
ing in the Rogue river within an hour
Of their arrival in Grants Pass. One
group Of about fifteen struck out for
the park bath house and a swim in
the river A few spent the time with
local agents for their respective cars"
