Appreciation.
Ashland, March 10.

Mr.. B. R. Greer, Editor Tidings.
Dear Mr.. Greer: wish to express
to you, personally, my appreciation
for the liberal space you have given
to the Chautauqua park proposition.
! am writing this simply because
am well aware of the fact that we
do not always show the proper appre-
citation for the good work that is
constantly being done by the news
papers of the country, that are, al
most without exception, devoted to
the public good, and without which
it would be difficult to get before
the public the merits of proposition
however good It might be. am Ger
tain that If the people properly uR-
derstand this measure 1t will carry
overwhelmingly, because the city
must eventually have the park. 1t
is offered now for less than 1t is
actually worth, and the proceeds are
to be used for a building the use Of
which the city is to have free Of
charge. Such a building Is certainly
needed. Again thanking you, l am,
Yours very truly,
M. c. REED.

Ashland, Ore, Thursday. Mar. is, IL
THE HUMOR OF THE SITUATION

There hasn't been much humor
about the present diplomatic situa-
tion. II is all grim. dreadful reality.
But even In the blackcst night there
are flashes Of lighting. In the threat
of war there is occasionally an inter-
national smile. Such must be sug-
gested by the proposition that Mexi-
co with the help from Germany, may
win back Taxas. New Mexico and
Arizona. and perhaps part Of Cali
fornia.
The Germans are not such simple
tons as seriously to entertain any
such proposal When they get ready
TO strike II will be at more accessi-
BILE points. It will be the great sea-
port cities with their vast treasure,
and at the exposed munition plants
and shipyards.
But this suggestion shows about
how big they rate the intelligence
of Carranza and his coteire. No
doubt all seems rather real to our
bewhiskercd friend OF Guadaloupe.
The Mexican temperament does not
see things in relation to cold facts.
Probably they have all along cherish
ed the dream that some day their
lost territory would again be theirs.
A Observation-Disclosures at
tempt to overrun the Southwest bor-
der may be dismissed as a fantastic
dream. Supplies would have to be
shipped half around the globe, acces-
sible to attack by every submarine
prowler Mexico with its anarchy,
its lack OF railroads and distribution
facilities. could not feed an army.
A force even of trained soldiers at
tempting to cross the Rio Grande
would fare hard Not to speak of the
physical difficulties of the desert
ranges. They would confront on the
border a type of man who has not
lost the pioneer habit and tradition.
The plains states would pour forth a
great many army fellows. trained to
action, resourceful in wild life, sharp
shooters since infancy When our
enemies get ready to fall on US. 1t will
he in places where this pioneer re-
sourcefulness and vigor has died out,
as men become clerks and merchants
and indoor workers generally.

Eugene, Ore.-The Wendling-John-

and Douglas counties, together with
the Acme sawmill on the Siuslaw riv-
er, valued at s2,50O,OO have been
sold to the Siuslew Timber Company
and a deed conveying $4,000 acres
of the timber and the mill property
was filed for record here. The Sius
law Timber Company bought the
property at a mortgage foreclosure
sale, the mortgage having been held
by the Michigan Trust Company. The
mortgage was given BY the Vending
johnson Company early in 1911 for
$1,300,000. The deed filed is signed
by John A. Heating, special master
in chancery, of Portland.

Father Of Three Boys Asks Voter to
Keep Boys at Home.
M. C. REED.

/
What will the voters Of Ashland
do with the two propositions to be
voted on Monday, March 10? As I
am citizen. a taxpayer and the
father Of three boys, | feel It is my
privilege, yea, my duty, to speak on
this matter. am thoroughly con-
vinced that If we debar our young
men from IS to 81 years of age from
the harmless indoor sport and
amusement as pool and billiards are.
we drive them away from home to
things much worse. predict that
with the coming of good weather and
good roads you will see automobile
excursions to California towns where
there are saloons, gambling and
houses of Ill fame. Any one of these
mentioned is thousand times worse
for our young men than what any
amusement house in Ashland wants
to offer them.
You good, well-meaning mothers
and fathers who want to bar the
young men from these amusement
houses in our home town, what do
you offer in their place? There is
no Y. NJ. c. A. gym; none of the
church or other organizations offer
the young mon any place of amuse-
ment. Now there are something's
impossible for the Almighty himself.
One is to make four-year-old mule
in minute, and 1t is also impossible
for all the moral reform workers in
America combined to make an ola
man out of boy.
Just a word on the Sunday issue:
We are trying to make a resort town
of this, and Sunday is the only leis-
ure day for the great majority, and
how can we hope to draw outside
people in here on Sunday with places
of amusement closed? No, our home
people, many Of them spend their
Sundays in nearby towns. Why?
Because every town in this part of
the country is more open and has
more life than Ashland. II we would
open wide every legitimate place of
business 1t would mean dollars to
everybody in Ashland, from the low
liest laborer tc the banker, because
it would keep our money at home
and bring outside money in also.
Let's vote a change and bring
to Ashland. The writer
of this article has no ak to grind.

Sixteen hundred acres Of produc-
ing prune land in Polk county gave
total of 3.50O,000 pounds of dried
prunes in 1916. This was the largest
crop ever produced in the county,
and 1t is conservatively valued at
$4,000. This crop gave wage earn
ers of the county over $4,000 In
cash during the last year. Accord
ing to figures compiled by a promi-
nent prune raiser of Dallas, the aver
age crop of prunes (dried) was 2,125
pounds to the acre. or in green fruit
about $500 pounds to the acre, worth
s127.50. The harvesting Of Folks
crop cost $3.50 per acre, cultivation
$40 per acre and taxes SO per acre.
Figuring the value on an average Of
$500 per acre, the interest at 6 per
cent amounts to $50 per acre, leaving
an average net profit Of $3.50 for
the growers in 1915 and the actual
profits after paying all labor costs
for the handling Of the crop were
sS4,640.

Hale in asking that a salary of $40
a month be granted to one of the
wards for capable work in oversee

request was granted by the board of

tendent Hale to pay boys who are
capable of supervising a salary Of IS
a month, which system would elimi-
nate hired men and give the boys ex-
perience and additional training. The
money would be paid to them on their
