FIRE INSURANCE RATES
HAVE BEEN ADVANCED

The cost of living continues to
grow. For many months increases
of one kind and another have been
made until they are quite common,
and one does not wonder that the
advance is becoming general all
along the line, for when any consid-
cradle number OF increases are made
then other forms Of business have to
fall in line inasmuch as no form Of
business is isolated and the cost OF
It's operations depend on the cost OF
the things which II must use from
other lines. Insurance agents until
now have been able to tell their
patrons that with all the other in
creases, insurance was to be had at
the same rate; but recent bulletin
issued to the fire insurance COM
panies and their agents explains the
need OF a slight raise in fire insur-
ance rates.
This bulletin states that the cost
OF operation OF the fire insurance
business has increased so material
ly that an advance OF ten per cent
went into effect November l, to re-
main until such time as business
conditions warrant its withdrawal.

YOUNG SOLDIER DIED
IN ARMY TRAINING CAMP

A Montesano paper contains an
account OF the death Of George
Bernard Moore, young man well
known in Ashland where he was EN-
paoyed as operator at the Vining
Theatre and jitney driver for one
of the lines between Medford and
Ashland. George was l9 years Of
age and had been in the service only
week or so, being among the vol
unteers for the training at Pullman.
A few days after arriving at Pullman
he caught cold which developed into
influenza. His condition was SO
serious that his mother was sent for
and she arrived in time to minister
to her son personally for the last
few days OF his life. The lad was
conscious to the last, and one OF his
regrets was that he might not get
to wear the uniform.
At the burial which was private
on account OF the quarantine, the
casket was draped with the stars and
stripes and the body adorned with
the uniform he never yet had worn
In life. The interment was made in
the Wyanooche cemetery.

a strong showing Of the natural ad-
vantageous points OF the city to at
tract strangers. Mr.. Turner touched
on the need for adequate hotel ana
apartment accommodation. Mr.. Ho-
mer Billings said the demand fof
rent houses was already greater than
the supply. Mr.. Carson, V. U. NJ
Smith and others added their mite
TO the good feeling and the meetins
yithal was one that will prove oil
great benefit to Ashland. Arrange
ments were perfected to bring about
the merging OF the business mems
association with the club and Mr.
Smith started definite movement TO-
ward the securing Of highway be-
tween the valley and the klamath
country. No citizen interested IL
his own welfare, or in that OF the

gatherings in the city. There are
good things in store for Ashland II

thru which community plans mus
be forwarded.
