A cfroniclcr of events at Lyons,
Ga, and in the vicinity thereof re-
I lates that a premature blast at an
Arabia quarry resulted in loss of life
and brought sorrow to the home OF
Corsey Reagin, who conducts a snake
farm near by, which has made that
section famous"
One is inclined to pause and won
der just what snake farm in bone
dry state may be, but let us proceed
with the chronicler, who further re-
lates:
"Corey's favorite brood sow wan
dered over to the quarry and ate a
few sticks of dynamite and might
have got safely by with the adventure
had not she essayed to bite stick in
two containing a, percussion cap. In
consequence of this, however, there
was an explosion, and Corey hearing
heavy firing hurried out to investigate
Ill time to observe his hog coming
home in fragments, via the aeroplane
route. Corey can't even sue for dam
ages under the stock law, as his hog
was running at large"
Just why hog should wander TO
quarry and eat dynamite, when by
waiting around at home it might have
opportunity to feast upon a snake or
two-for snakes comprise favorite
item of the porker's bill of fare
one cannot imagine. 1t is one Of the
things that we may not know-The
Industrial Index.

Havana, Cuba. May l6-The United
States government, calling the atten-
ton of the Cuban people to the two
great obligations, military and econo-
mic, involved in the entrance of Cuba
and the United States into the war,
has issued a warning against inter
which will be considered a hostile
act" and declares that unless all those
under arms against the government OF
Cuba return Immediately to their al
legiance the United States may find
it may become necessary for the
United States to regard them as enc
mics and to deal with them according
ly"
The proclamation embodying this
warning was made public by the Am
erican minister, William Gonzales. 1t
follows:
THE declaration of war against
the imperial German government by
the government of Cuba, marking the
entrance of Cuba side by side with
the United States of America into the
conflict, which is now being waged
for the highest rights of humanity
and in defense of principles of interna-
tional law, has been received by the
United States with feelings of deep
appreciation and friendly pride
Now that the Cuban and Ameri-
can people are even more closely
bound together by lasting ties of COM
mon interest, the government of the
United States feels it is incumbent
upon it again to reiterate its many
published statements concerning its
attitude toward those Cubans who are
under arms against the constitutional
government, to add in emphatic terms
that it considers that the time has
now arrived when all national political
questions must be set aside in the
face of the grave international dan
ger.
I'm calling this to the attention of
the people of Cuba, it is felt necessary
to state that in the present war, in
order to insure victory Cuba, as we'll
as the United States, has two great
obligations, one military and the 9th
er economic. Therefore, as the allied
powers and the United States must
depend to a great extent upon the
sugar production of Cuba, all disturb
ances which interfere with this pro-
duction must be considered as hos
tile acts and the United States gov
eminent is forced to issue this warn
ing that unless all those under arms
against the government of Cuba re-
turn Immediately to their allegiance,
may become necessary for the United
States to regard them as enemies and
to deal with them accordingly"

KIND WORDS

We live beside each other day by day
And speak Of myriad things, but sell
dom say
The full sweet word that lies within
our reach,
Beneath the common ground of com
mon speech;
Then out of sight and out of reach
they go,
These dear familiar friends that
loved us so,
And sitting in the shadows they have
left,
Alone with loneliness and sore bereft
We think with vain regret of some
kind word
That once we might have said and
they have heard.

BRITISH COURTS PAY
TRIBUTE TO cHoATE

London, May l6.-All the judges
of the higher courts gathered in the
Kings Bench division this morning
to pay respect to the memory of
Joseph H. Choate.
Viscount Reading, lord chief JUS
tice, who presided paid an eloquent
tribute to the distinguished Amer;-
can.
Viscount Reading said that in 1915,
when the Anglo-French commission
went to America; not one man did
more to assist in its success than
did Mr.. Choate and when his pow
en'hl voice was lifted in New York
1T was not surprising that the mission
was success.
For his family let US hope" the
lord chief justice added, lit will be
a consolation to reflect that he lived
up to the moment of seeing the sue
cess OF his great ideal, and not only
that he lived to see the realizatiore| 81
this ideal, but that he died in the eff
forts he was making to bring it to
perfection"

MUSIC IN'LITHIA PARK.

There should be three band con-
certs a week in Lithia Park this sea-
son. Two evening concerts and one
Sunday afternoon. This will cost
money, of course, but this year many
families will be here for health and
recreation and should be entertained.
The success attained this season will
largely determine whether Ashland
springs at once into prominence as a
resort city, or drags along with indif-
ferent success for a number Of years.
The concerts should begin early in
June and continue till the first of
October. Funds must be raised for
the purpose The Tidings will be one
OF twenty to donate ten dollars a
month for four months to the music
fund. The balance necessary could
no doubt be raised by small individual
subscriptions.

COVER DILAPIDATED WALLS
WITH VINES.

Every prominent dilapidated wall
in Ashland should be covered with
climbing vines so it will be hidden
from view. Especially should the
fences, barns and outbuildings along
prominent streets be so concealed.
For example, the main street leading
into Lithia Park. Beginning at this
end the aspect is of a huge, bare
black wall of the Park garage build
ing. Then comes the fences and barns
connected with the creamery prop
erty. Then the unsightly fences and
walls of the Smith livery stable
These detract greatly from the gen.
eral park view that should maintain
on this prominent street. If vines
quick-growing vines-were planted
along these walls within couple OF
years they would be obscured from
view. That they be covered is so I'M
portant to the future of Ashland that

A CONVENTION CITY.

With the new Chautauqua audi
torium completed Ashland should be
made the convention city of southern
Oregon. The Chautauqua building
will be the best adapted in southern
Oregon for the purpose. Ashland
presents the most charming setting,
and, besides, many associations VIII
be glad to come here for a convention
TO try the mineral waters and view
our matchless park. We should go
after every convention to be held IN
this state next year. If Ashland sue
ceeds best in her resort ambitions II
will need to have something doing
every minute during the summer sea-
son, not only for the benefit that Will
come directly from the conventions,
but Ashland will have numerous fam
lilies here for health and recreation
and we need the crowds in town for
Their pleasure. There will be some
cost to handling these conventions,
but the cost will be well justified by
the benefits. The city does not nee
essarily need to prepare great ban
Duets for each convention, but a sim
pie entertainment will please and suf-
flee. The Commercial Club can ham
die the conventions with little added
expense Let's make Ashland con-
vention city.

THE TOURIST CROP.

Mark Daniels, who is now figuring |
with the council and Commercial |
Club committee, is man of large
experience and accomplishment. He
proposes a sanitarium to cost not less
than $50, 900 and a new tourist hotel
to cost not less than 100000. Mr..
Daniels is not hot-air merchant, nor
is he given TO talking through his hat.
He has been supplied with contour
maps of several prospective sites and
is now engaged in preparing prelimi-
nary sketches for the buildings. No
doubt he will soon have definite
proposition to make to the city where
by the sanitarium and new hotel will
become an accomplished fact These
are now the things needed to assure
the success Of the enterprise.
Not only the committee, but every
citizen should be intensely interested
in this project 1t means so much to
Ashland. With these in operation
Ashland will at once step into promi-
nence as a resort city and her ad-
vancement will be magical. We say
magical" advisedly. We have seen
it done before on half the natural
resources. In fact, no city ever had
more to build permanently on, Our
scenery and mineral water are tre-
mendous assets, great enough to buld
a city of at least fifty thousand on
The tourist crop, where the clim-
ate and natural setting are right, as
they are here, will prove of greater
cash money value than all the other
crops In the Rogue River valley, 1t
will pay big to cultivate it at consid-
cradle expense. It costs money to
mature any crop Vt will cost less to
mature a profitable tourist crop for
Ashland than any other crop that can
be fostered.

OBITUARY NOTICES.

Obituary notices have certain news
value to a newspaper, but are not of
interest enough to the reading public
to justify their free publication. The
newspaper associations Of the coun-
try have determined that all obituary
notices should be charged for at one
half the commercial rate, and are now
making charges on that basis. The
Tidings rate for these notices will
henceforth be 21R cents the line.

VITALIZE OUR RESORT.

1t is important that the resort en-
terprise be vitalized this summer. 1t
would not be a bad idea If the Com
mercial Club dues be raised to two
dollars a month instead of one.
Every citizen can well afford to con-
tribute liberally this year not to keep
the Commercial Club alive, but to
furnish it sinews to do some real con-
structve work along resort lines If
Ashland will put all of her energy
ingenuity and as much of her tax
money as can be possibly spared into
forwarding the resort enterprise, she
will be astonished at the quick re-
suits. The population Of Ashland can
be made to double WITHIN the coming
twdve months. People are onw COM
ing to town every day, looking it
over Some of them are now invest
ing and many others will invest.
There will be demand for furnished
cottages this year that can not be
supplied. Ashland already is evinc-
ing new zip. The Hyiu Hehe and
Roundup will be much better than
last year, and 1t may be confidently
twelve months. People are now com
expected that the celebration alone
will leave as much money in town as
the whole enterprise so far has cost.
1t will pay to center on this enter
prise and vitalze 1t to its utmost this
year.
