The solution Of the mysterious an
nouncement which appeared in last
Mondays Tidings will be found on
pages 4 and 5 of this issue, and is Of
a nature which should and no doubt
will fill the Ashland Trading Com

pacity this Saturday and, for that
matter, every day during the entire
process of their "Relief" sale, for
which preparations have been going
on quietly for several days. 1t has
been found necessary to close their
store tomorrow friday in order to
have everything marked down, ar
ranged and displayed properly for the
opening day of this campaign.
Much additional help has been Sc
cured to handle the crowds, which
from all indications promise to be one
of the largest ever seen in any store
in Ashland. It will be a good idea II

cultural purposes. The premises In
dispute are some Of the holdings Of

Good Prices for All
Fruits in Prospect

Mail Tribune: G. A. Knight Of
Medford, who is spending the summer
in New York city, writes to l.. A.
Wakeman that the cause Of the low
prices realized for Medford pears Is
due to their arriving over-ripe. This
fact is caused by the poor service rem
dered by the railroads, which have
taken as long as twenty-six days,
when eight or ten days is the sched-
ule in ordinary years. The delayed
service has resulted in poor icing SER
vice. Mr.. knight writes:
81 have been into New York city
three times within the past few days
to attend the auction sales of fruit
from Medford and the northwest,
and it has been arriving in rather
bad condition, nearly all ripe and
some of it hardly fit to use, but ow-
ing to the high prices for the past few
DAYS all kinds. even the ripe fruit, has
been bringing fair prices. 1t is
claimed here that owing to the dry
season in the Rogue River valley the
fruit is not holding up as 1t should.
There is a good market for all kinds
of fruit, and bids fair to continue so.
Late pears and apples are expected to
bring the highest price for many
years. In fact, Mr.. Day of Goble Il
Day. who are old commission men
long in the market business, told me
this morning that he had never seen
such high market, and he also stat
ed that in his judgment it would con-
tinue so for the balance of the sea-
son, which sounds good to the or
chardists, who have had such a hard
time during the past five or six
years"

Considering Additional
Land Purchase

Among the matters brought up for
discussion at the city council Tuesday
was the subject of enlarging Noun
tain View cemetery by purchasing a
tract of land comprising about six
acres and owned by Mr.. Parish, which
adioins the cemetery, at a price OF
$1,000, also the purchasing Of anoth-
er tract of 1870 acres belonging to Mr..
Eliason, for $500, in order to get a
wood road to the Martin lands Sc
cured by the city about a month ago.
The latter is covered with enough
timber to compensate for the pur-
chase. However, in view of the fact
that it is a matter which requires
some consideration, the proposals
were laid on the table until the ad-
minstration finds time to consider 1t.
