Mines Interest
Eastern Capital

Ernest F. Hellieve, a mining en-
gineer of Grants Pass, was a visitor
at Yreka last week, where he is in
terested in copper claims at the head
of Seiad creek in Siskiyou county
Mr.. Hellieve is very enthusiastic over
the prospects Of his claim. He went
east recently to interest capital in
copper mining in Siskiyou county
and southern Oregon, and while in
Boston, Mass, he made the acquaint-
ance of c. w. Dodson, who became
enthused over the proposition.
Through the latter's efforts survey
was made from Grants Pass to Seattle
Bar near the Blue Ledge mine, for
a railroad. Mr. Hellieve states that
construction work will commence
about January Is, and that the rail
road will be built to the coast.
Eureka will probably be its terminal.

Christian Herald
Praises Ashland

Editor Tidings: This article is
not written for the purpose of boost
ing Ashland property. That is not
the idea at all. Our object is to call
attention to the fact that we have
been putting on rather expensive
campaign. Unless we go on and do
the things originally planned, other
wise our work in the past will not
get the results that such an outlay
anticipates. Ashland started out to
increase her population, spending
100000 improving water and park
conditions. She has a splendid sup
ply of mineral waters that are not
excelled anywhere in the world. She
has been the recipient Of more free
advertising than any city of her size
in the northwest. Just one instance
shows the kind of advertising she
has been getting. The Christian Her.

pippins grown on earth are produced
in this valley" The question natur-
ally arises, has our experiment been
a success? General world conditions
have been against us. So far as we
have carried out our original plans
the results have not been bad, but
now we are reaching the critical
stage Of our development. During the
past few months a number of fami-
lies wanted to locate in Ashland, but
because they could not get suitable
houses in which to live have gone
elsewhere. Ashland has been the
loser. The merchants of Ashland
needed these families for customers.
The producers of Ashland vicinity
needed them to consume their prod
ucts. The families themselves are
disappointed in not being able to To-
cate here, Only one way will keep
these newcomers: that is to carry out
our original plan Of building summer
cottages for the visitors and bunga-
lows for those who want to locate

Gov. Withycombe
Favors Co. Agent

Governor Withycombe has ex-
pressed the opinion that no county
should hesitate about employing a
county agricultural agent. A pro-
test has been filed with the county
court of Marion county against the
employment Of an agent, on the
ground that his work is not of suffi-
cient benefit to justify the expense.
"The government, through its de-
partment of agriculture, said the
governor, 'is anxious that every
county in the United States should
have an agricultural agent This
state has large number of counties
employing such agents, but in some
counties there is an antagonistic
spirit against the employment of such
an official. There is no question but
that an agricultural agent can be
great aid to food production"

permanently, If the newcomers have
just about exhausted our list of un-
occupied houses, it is up to us to
build others for those who are most
sure to come during spring and early
summer. If an individual planted
and cultivated his crop and then
failed to harvest it he would certain
ly not be considered thrifty man.
The comparison applies to Ashland
when she spends her money in a,
campaign of development and then
fails to build commensurate with her
demands. More modern houses must
be built that Ashland may reap the
reward for past investments. Not
only houses should be built, can
ming factory and dryer to take care
of our surplus fruits and vegetables,
and box factory. The lack Of boxes
resulted in the loss of thousands of
pounds of fruit this last season and
should spur us on to greater activity.
This is imperative and should be
done without fail II we would encour-
age the grower to produce to his full
capacity. We are up against car
shortage and higher freight rates.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-12-17

To offset this we must build more
and better dirt roads. The Klamath
Falls country wants our products.
Why not improve the roads in that
direction, reducing cost of transport
alton? Most of the money saved will
come to Ashland. Why not do every
thing we can to encourage the apple
grower whose embarrassment is only
temporary The great orchards of
Europe are being destroyed by the
world war. These devastated coun-
tries are demanding our fruit, buy
ing in increasing amounts even dur
ing war times. The fact that we ex-
ported to Europe S6,500,000 worth
of fruits and nuts last year is an in
dex to what we may expect after the
war. We have advertised to the
world our fine climate, our delicious
fruits, our unequaled mineral waters,
our superb scenery, our schools and
churches. We have shown through
our advertising that Ashland is the
finest place on earth to live. People
with money or with modest means
cannot make mistake in coming to
Ashland. Let's not disappoint any
more of them. Let's back up our
advertising by putting our idle capi-
tai into these needed improvements
There are at least one hundred
houses in Ashland that should be re-
paired and remodeed so they would
be acceptable to the class of people
who are coming. These now non
rentable houses, because not com
fortably habitable, would rent at
good prices, and would go far to
eliminate the claim of low rents.

THE CHRISTMAS SHIP.

o loved, adventurous Christmas ship,
We might not speed you on your trip;
With ghostly stealth you had to slip
Out secretly across the bay.
But we whose gifts your matches
lined
Are with you, viewless as the wind;
Our love you cannot leave, behind,
Our prayers still wing you on your
way.
Bon voyage yours, for in your hold
A nations offerings you enfold,
Her tribute to her soldiers bold
0utpoured for them with lavish
hand.
May Santa Claus, good patron saint,
Keep all unscratched your brave,
gray paint,
And bring your cheer to hearts that
faint
With longing for this dear home
land. -Winifred Watson.

The second trial of the case OF
George D. Keyes of Oroville against
3. K. Collier attorney of Yreka, ovel.

the sale of mining property by Col
lier, is under way in the superior
court in Yreka.
This litigation is the outeome of
the sale Of mining properly IN which

ested. Collier is alleged to have sold
the claims in 1915, under a power OF
attorney from his co-partners, to w.
G, Page for $4,000 Page represent
ing Utah concern. Keyes and his
father claim that Collier represented
to them that he received only $4,000
for the property, and offered to set

Keyes is now suing for something
like $1,7O0, which he alleges is still
due him. This is the second trial of
this suit, the first trial resulting in

Jumping from the window of the jailOrs office in the court house while the deputy who had arrested him for threatening to kill his wife. turned to call the jailer William Lee. a negro. escaped the officers yesterday. His freedom was short lived. for he had run but few blocks when a bullet halted his progress.
 Deputy Sheriff F. J. Warren fired three shots before Lee gave up. the final bullet grazing his hip and causing him to drop to the ground The wound is not serious.
 Deputy Sheriff Joe Balsz was called to 4O1 East Jefferson street yesterday where d colored woman alleged her husband threatened to kill her unless she left Phoenix which she did not pro- pose to do. The woman also charged her husband with beating her severely
 BalsZ arrested the man who attempt ed to escape on the way to jail It was necessary for the officer to show his gun before the cOlOred man ceased to resist After being taken to the court house, he made one more attempt to escape. He dashed through the window and was fully half a block away before Sheriff Wilky and Deputies Balsz and Warren gave chase, It was impossible to fire while he remained on the public avenues but when Lee turned his direc- ton toward the alley between Jefferson and Madison street and First and Sec ond avenues the way was clear for the officers. When he refused to halt in response to the command, Warren fired.
