PO|NSETT|AS
 GROWING HERE

To those who have believed that poinsettias could not be grown in Phoenix, the beautiful flowers at the courthouse grounds are quite a reve- lation. Dave Turner, the gardener. obtained about twenty plants las. spring and they are now in full bloom and a source of pleasure and surprise to both old residents and newcomers who have never before seen the poinsettia growing in this climate. Being close to the building, light frosts have not injured them at all. and MT. Turner is positive they can be grown successfully anywhere in Phoenix, if sheltered from severe frosts.
 He says these plants grow to small tree in Los Angeles where one man has eight acres in bloom this season. The plants are for sale in the florists shops in Phoenix, both in pots and in cut flowers.
 He would suggest to those who are stealing them from the courthouse grounds .that they can get a better article of florists, as they arc processed so that they will not wilt in a very short time and become worthless. The flower thieves thus at no profit to themselves, deny t, others MT. Turner hopes to plant these flowers more extensively next spring if he can keep the flowers from being stolen.

COTTON FIRE
 INVESTIGATED BY OFFICIALS

Yesterday afternoon a hurry call came in to c. Fred Bracket at Mesa, asking him to send officers out to the Ernest Hadlock place, as some one was setting fire to cotton fields in that vicinity. Marshal Sabin of Mesa was summoned and, in company with Constable Pickens and Night Watchman Falconer, made a quick drive to the Hadlock ranch
 The field had been set afire just inside the fence and not over 150 yards from the Hadlock home, and about 30 minutes after the family saw this blaze start, and which they put out, another was seen down in the field some distance. This looked so much like incendiarism that Mrs Hadlock decided to call the officers.
 Sabin states that Mexicans lived just beyond the field where the fire occurred, a number of campers being at work ploughing in the Goodyear company farms. The officers opinion is that some one started to go through the cotton field, saving near y d Liiie ny So uoliiS, dilu lighting a cigarette, threw the burnt match into the grass, the second fire catching just about where a cigarette steadily smoked would have been con- stunned and thrown down. While Mar shal Sabin is of this opinion, The also suggested to the ranchers that sus- picious looking men in their fields refused to halt, should be halted; that it is no time to put up with in cendiarism.

REUBEN PLACES
 NOTABLE ORDER

G. H. Rueben of the Kissel Auto company has just returned from San Francisco where he attended the an nual get-together banquet of the Pa cific Kissel Kar branch, as we'll as making the largest purchase of Kissel kars ever made by an individual kis- sel kar dealer west of the Rockies
 Tn view of the shortage of cars and the increasing cost of produc- ton, cars are bound to be scarce this spring." said Mr. Rueben. q foresaw this and made a trip to San Francisco to place an order for $50- 900 worth of Kissel Kars. I was not as fortunate as I expected to be, for other dealers were also clamoring for cars,Fand the best I could do was to get $32,000 worth of Kissel Kars.
 While at the banquet of the Pa cific Kissel Kar branch. MT. Rueben made very comnlendable talk on "Kisselism" which was given con- siderable space in the San Francisco Call.
 When asked about general busi- ness conditions on the coast, MT Rueben, in his optimistic way said:
 Business conditions in San Fran cisco. and Los Angeles are splendid Business men are optimistic and go- ing to work with a real spirit of getting there The one fear is that of the government taking over many of the manufacturing plants on the coast as well as in the east, thereby curtailing the products the business men need to continue business"
 A noteworthy feature of the Pacific Kissel Kar branch, is the fact that this concern has just closed it's most successful year. doing the enormous buiness of selling $9,o0O,OO0 worth of cars.

SOLDIER G|F TS
 ALL FORWARDED

Phoenix and Arizona people who sent Christmas packages to their sol diers in France will be relieved to know that they all went forward with out delay and undoubtedly were re- ceived in due time.
 Approximately 6o0000 Christmas packages have been dispatched to American soldiers abroad as a result of the public's response to the country wide campaign urging early mailing of gifts, according to information received from the war department.
 Not a single parcel was rejected be- cause of size, and although the limit had been placed at 20 pounds, many weighed 100 pounds. Elaborate ar engagements had been made at point of shipment to receive the packages. The army mail handlers permitted scarcely a package to remain longer than one day in the examining quarters before it was placed on board ship. Ship ment was facilitated by examination of smaller parcels at originating postof fices throughout the country, so that on arrival at seaports they were shinped at once

TT IS NECESSARY
THAT YOU SETTLE

Owing to the strenuous times
in the coal business, it is neces-
sary that | ask all parties owing
me TO please call aud settle be
fore January /, 1918, either by
note or cash. The war has revolu-
tionized all kinds of business. The
following is a copy of Il slicker
attached to the invoice for the
last car of coal bought from the
Wholesalers:
Owing TO the present coal
situation, we are compelled to
place our sales ON Il strictly cash
basis. Please remit Immediately
upon receipt of this invoice. y
So you can see from the above
HAT it would be an impussibility
for Il dealer to carry long stand
ing accounts. If you expect to
receive good service and coal. we
must ask for quick settlements, as
from now on will have to pay for
my coal i'm advance.

Hang Up S5 Reward
For information

A reward of s. has been hung up
by the electric light committee for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of any person stealing
electric current for use in stoves or
appliances not reported or paid for
under the flat rate system. The of
fer of the reward resulted from the
fact that many people have told city
officials Of their knowledge Of cur
rent thievery but have not been will
ing or public spirited enough to give
specific information.
The members of the electric light
committee state that the city loses
hundreds of dollars through current
thefts. The city authorities are de-
termined to put an end to the steal
ing and are going to actively prose-
cute every offender who is caught.
Attention is called to the fact that
such theft is felony under the state
law and punishable by very heavy
penalty. The fine ranges from $50
to 5000 or long Jail sentence.

Master Mechanic
Small Leaves S. P.

It is reported that Master Mechan-
ic Small of the Shasta division of the
Southern Pacific has left the services
of the company. 1t is rumored that
he has gone into line of business
for himself. A number of changes
in the personnel Of the motive power
department of the s. P. seem to be
on the program following the trouble
in securing enough motive power to
handle the extra heavy freight traffic
of the past few weeks. According
to remarks of enginemen, the en-
gines on the Shasta division are
many of them in bad shape, and suf-
ficient mechanics are unavailable to
keep the locomotives up to required
standards. An interstate commerce
inspector recently tied up number
of the engines in the local yards and
refused to allow them to go out until
they had received extensive repairs.
The lack of available locomotives
has caused considerable trouble and
some extensive delays Of late.

Compulsory School
Age May Be Lower

A movement is being fathered by
the Southern Oregon Schoolmaster' s
Club which seeks to place the COM
pulsory school age at seven years in
stead of nine years as at present.
The educators throughout the state
who have been communicated with
regarding the proposition regard 1t
with general favor.
Under the school laws now in eff
feet in Oregon children between the
ages of nine and fifteen years can be
compelled to attend school. In the
event they do not attend school,
their parents are subject to prosecu-
tion and punishment. The new law,
II adopted, will provide that all chill
dren between the ages of seven and
sixteen years shall attend school reg
ularly, unless they are able to pre-
sent valid excuse.
The bill is being drafted at the
present time and will probably be
submitted to tho legislature some
time during next week.

Will Complete Data
OF Electric System

A complete inventory of all the
property owned by the municipal cleo
trio light system and accurate com
pendulum of figures regarding the
status of the plant and system will
be compiled by the electric light com
mittee of the city council with the
aid Of such expert valuation work
from the outside as may be found
necessary where accurate data is
found lacking. The announcement of
this move will be welcomed by the
people of Ashland, who are on the
whole rather "in the dark" as to the
exact status of the electric situation.
No records OF definite nature were
kept during the building up of the
present system, and hence nothing is
available upon which to base accurate
information regarding the electrical
situation in the city. The committee
will go clear to the bottom of the
matter and compile complete digest
of all matters pertaining to this i'm
portant branch of the city's service.

Churches Work
In Cooperation

Tuesday, the 9th, a company of
Presbyterian and Methodist ministers
met at Medford to perfect comfy re-
lations between the two churches,
whereby the Presbyterians leave the
field at Yoncalla to the Methodists
and the Methodists leave the field at
Jacksonville to the Presbyterians.
This change is in the interest OF
greater efficiency in religious work
and will be consummated in a few
weeks. Presbyterian ministers pres
ent were DR.. Montgomery of Port
land, Carnahan of Ashland, Balls OF
Phoenix and Hogg OF Medford, and
the Methodist ministers Van Fossen
and Douglass of Ashland and Rollins
of Medford.

Ashland May Secure Dry-Fresh
Cannery Plant in Near Future

The Dry-Fresh process has proven
very successful and the plants else
where have been big money makers.
One of the plants, a year old, has a
payroll of $500 per month and is to
be trebled in capacity for the coming
season.
The fruitgrowers of this vicinity
are mostly owners of small orchards,
and owing to the fact that their crops
are not large, profitable marketing Of
all but the very best grades of fruit
has in the past been difficult. The
cannery will provide a home mar
ket for the greatest part of the fruit
crop of the Ashland district, would
provide big payroll and be generally
beneficial to the entire city. The bus
mess men of the city are anXiously
awaiting the outcome of the negotia-
tions with the company, and 1t is the
universal desire that a satisfactory
arrangement can be made so that
Ashland may have this industry for
the coming fruit season.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-01-18

There is an imminent possibility
of Ashland's securing a Dry-Fresh
cannery plant. The Commercial Club
is in communication with the Dry
Fresh company, which is a big con-
Germ backed by Portland capital
which already has several successful
establishments in the state. A mass
meeting was held Tuesday and the
matter considered, and Wednesday
the club trustees authorized the send
ing OF F. d. Wagner to meet re-
quest of the company that repre-
sentative be sent to confer with them
Mr.. Wagner will secure all details and
an outline of the company's require
ments.
An outlet for the surplus fruit
grown in and around Ashland has
long been a crying need, and the Dry
Fresh concern would mean great
deal for Ashland. The club has been
working for a good many months on
the cannery proposition, recognizing
it to be one of the things which Ash
land must have.

Medford-AShland
Debate Here Friday

The first debate of the 1917 series
in the southern Oregon district of the
Oregon High School Debating League
will take place Friday evening of this
week. Miss Priscilla Carnahan and
Lloyd Turner will uphold the mega
tive against the Medford team at the
local high school, while Cleo Kirk
and Ernest Abbott uphold the affirm
ative against the Grants Pess mega
tive team at Grants Pass. The win
ner of the valley series will debate
klamath Falls, who won the cham
pionship of the southeastern Oregon
section.
The debate at the Ashland high
school gymnasium will be free to the
public Friday night and this impor-
tant branch of the school activities
should be welcomed by record turn
out. In years gone by Ashland high
has not been able to get far in the
series, but this year has two fine
teams and should stand a good
chance Of winning the district cahm-
pionship. In order to arouse inter-
est in debating it was decided to
make no charge at this initial con-
test. The debate will be preceded by
a musical program, starting promptly
at 7:30.

S. P. Will Build Freight Cars
In West and Use Oregon Lumber

vast multitude of the people who are
buyers of luXuries The spending
power of the east has helped us and
is helping us, for we are the sellers
and they are the buyers.
THE earnings of the Southern Pa
cific Company, which have improved
along with other business, are giving
us an opportunity to spend much
money for betterments needed upon
our property. While there are no
new extensions contemplated, the
shop forces are working full force at
full time, and the maintenance of way
crews are also busy. We are making
heavy expenditures in laying new rail,
reballasting track, widening tunnels
for greater freight clearances, and
other similar improvements. All this
means employment of larger forces.
It means enlarged payrolls, and en-
larged payroll for our men means
Increased circulation of money for the
communities we serve.
"I look forward to a continuance
of the company's prosperity for some
time to come, peace or no peace. The
wave of prosperity that has resulted
in part from improved domestic con-
ditions and in part from the European
war has gained too much momentum
to be easily stopped, and even after
the declaration of peace its forward
will proceed for consid-
cradle length without interruption.
GAS far as the Southern Pacific is
concerned, 1t is doing its share as the
largest institution In the west to con-
tribute to prosperity out here. It's
contributions are added en-
increased payrolls, larger
home industry purchases, and new
car building at home. These are all
in conjunction with our efforts to
keep our service up to the highest
standard"

NUMBER 50
Routine Work
BY City Council

After the reading Of the minutes
and other customary preliminaries at
the council meeting Tuesday, the is-
ccrder read the treasurer's quarterly
report. Ex-Recorder Gillette ey-
planned some matters regarding the
payment of taxes from the county
into the city treasury The purchase
of licenses for the autc truck ana
motorcycles owned by the city was au-
thorized.
The purchase OF new motorcycle
for the water department was autEo'-
lied. The machine Is to be pur-
chased from the Jordan Indian mo-
torcycle agency for $3.50, Mr.. Jordan

$390.S2 for the new Ford motor
truck was ordered paid.
Fifty dollars a month was appro-
priated for 1917 for the payment o.
the leader OF the Ashland band an,l
boys band.
A proposition from bonding COM
pany to rebond the city at lower
rate of interest than at present paid
on all the city bonds was discussed
In view of the fact that at special
election several months ago the peo-
pie voted down like money-saving
proposition, and that special elections
are not especially popular at pres
ent, the recorder was instructed to
inform the bonding company that
there was no chance to do business
with Ashland.
Other matters we're attended to as
elsewhere reported.
The city storeroom at the corner
of B and Water streets has been con-
verted into garage for the city auto
truck.
The street committee was granted
an extension of time in the matter OF
the extension of Terrace street be-
cause Of lack of time up to Tuesdays
meeting to Investigate the matter Z
Councilman Banta stated that
Street Superintendent Fraley had
traded the lame horse belonging to
the city for another horse. The deal
included a ten days trial, thus Civ
ing Mr.. Fraley plenty Of time to dis
cover any defects If there are any,

The salaries of the city officials.
both elective and appointive, were
fixed.
The bonds of the various depart
mental heads were accepted subject
