The new office finds a large field
for its activities. Camp ground work
which the forest service is engaged
appears to have proved not only inn
mensely popular with the travelling
public in rendering more enjoyable
the visits to the forests of thousands
of vacationists, but TO have partly
paid for itself in the decreased dam
ger from forest fires.
Announcement is made that the
forest service stands ready in recre-
ational work to cooperate with all
agencies interested in developing
the recreational out-of-doors move
ment and increased tourist travel,
\and will furnish information on all
phases of recreational work in the
national forests.

Now that ostrich feathers have re-
turned to favor the woman that has
cared for her plumes will bring them
out to find them increased in money
valEe and available in number Of
wsys. Fashion approves of ostrich
fues In many forms and plumes are
used not alone In millinery but as dec
Orations for evening dresses and for
making the handsOmest fans. The
flues form innumerable fancy feather
millinery ornaments, neckpieces,
wreaths and fringes and are fashion
able In both the curled and uncurled
state. Handsome wreaths for hats
are shown with the feathers along one
side of the rib curled and along the
other straight.
If plumes that have been laid away
are In good condition hut soiled It is
not difficult matter TO clean them,
except that the curling process is a
little tedious. They may be washed
In a lukewarm suds Of soft water and
CASTLE soap. They are shaken in the
suds and drawn through the hand to
squeeze out the solled water. After
they are clean they should be rinsed
in warm. clear wafer and wrapped in
cheesecloth or other absorbent mate
rial and put through an ordinary
clothes wrlnger. But the rolls Of the
wringer must not be close enough to
damage the feathers.
After ibis washing process they
should be shaken until dry. Holding
the feather by the rib it is shaken and
gently beaten against the other hand.
II the little flueS cling together this
may be corrected by holding them over
the spout of steaming kettle. When
the plume is thoroughly dry it is ready
for curling.
An ordinary table knife will answer
for curling a plume. The plume is
drawn along the edge Of the knife be-
tween II and the thumb. The trick
Is to curl the flue only at the end and
not too tightly. Each fue is to be

Announcement is made from the
office of the Forest service that the
demands created by the large am
cunt of tourist travel in the noun
tains have resulted in the creation
of separate organization for the
efficient administration OF this ac-
tivity.
The functions of the new office
are to promote the development and
use of the recreational resources OF
the national forests both by the tran
sient camper and the summer home
resident. Large numbers OF camp
grounds will be carefully laid out by
experienced men and improved as to
water supply, sanitation, construc-
tion of fire-places, picnic tables, as
well as roads, archway. and trail in
to the adjacent forests.
Summer home sites are in increas-
ing demand in the national forests,
and many localities will be carefully
laid out on the ground with due re-
gard to their natural advantages
and to their desirability as to build
ing sites for the erection OF summer
homes.
National forest roads and trail will
be located to take advantage of the
natural beauty Of the surroundings
and to lead the traveller to prominent
scenic areas.
Pamphlets of valuable information
to the camper, similar to the recent
publication which has been issued.
Vacation Land: The National For
ests in Oregon" will be published.
This work for the states of Oregon
and Washington will be directed
from Portland Five of the more ex-

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-This is
moving tale! Not the narrowing ol
the cinema variety but simply an
echo of October /. Goodness knows
the crash of my shattered furniture
and mirrors was enough to leave an
echo
II was the old cabinet maker whom
! called in to give first aid to the
wreckage who gave me the facts
Apropos of my battered household
treasures with vivid and minute de-
tail, he described the ageing rooms
in the antique furniture factories
that every well regulated metropolis
cherishes in its bosom. II seems that
the tortures inflicted on perfectly
new square four-posters, solid sub
stantial secretaries and stately high
boys in these fell chambers are
equal almost to the horrors OF the
Inquisition. Burly workmen maui
and buffet them. Huge iron chains
are dragged across the immaculate
surfaces and last and crowmng in
jury they are shot full of worm
holes" with birdshot.
Just think of hiring men for such
a job when the movers revel in do
ing it for the mere JOY of the thing
When these professional wreckers

night at one of his 81 varieties of

Now just think OF the possibilities
open to you Women's magazines
and Sunday papers tell you how to
make dressing tables out Of packing
boxes. work tables out OF cheese
boxes and portiers out of old tin cans.
But here's a prize household hint
exposing to you how you may age
your own antique furniture right in
the family flat.
Almost every well regulated
American family has two or three
willing little workers right at the
home and fireside. OF course you

DAILY TID!NGs MADE LARGER

With this issue The Tidings is
enlarged to an eight page paper. How
long 1t viii continue eight pages de-
pends on the advertising patronage
From now TIL after the holidays the
demand for advertising space will be
heavy and we have increased the
pages to make room for the addi-
tional advertising without sacrificing
the interest of the subscriber. 1t is
the ambition OF the publisher to
give Ashland as good paper as the
business will justify-even a better
for we feel that a city is judged
largely by the class Of newspapers
published and supported. We do not
expect to make profit from the daily
the first year All Of the earnings
will be put back into betterment un-
I'll Ashland has as good daily as any
city of its size in the country. That
is our ambition.

SCHOOL NOTES

Former Ashland high school stu
dents who have visited the school
during the past week have been
Doris Loomis and Luella Herrick,
both of the class of 10.
Miss Claire Tucker, who has re-
Gently returned from California has
resumed her studies and will grad
uate this year
The cast for "The Arrival of Kitty"
has begun practicing in the gym,
where greater opportunities are Of
fered for effective acting. The prac-
tice had formerly been in the Ii
brary.
Lyle Sans, who recently left for
o. A. C. has returned and is TAX
ing a post graduate course. Mr..
Sans was one of our 1917 football
men.
Miss Amy Stannard, Ashland's for
mer science teacher, is taking a med
ical course at the University of Cal
ifornia this year.
In order to raise money for the
entertainment of the Klamath Falls
football players, two pie sales were
held; one Monday and Wednesday,
at the noon hour. AS soon as school
was dismissed, the sales table was
eagerly surrounded and in short
time every pie was gone. A neat sum
was realized
Another community sing" was
held in assembly Wednesday morn
ing under the direction of Miss Bay.
The assembly was divided and each
part strove to sing the loudest. A
very harmonious CD effect was OBJ
tanned in this way.
Wednesday night two basket ball
games were held directly after school
in the gym. The first game was
played between the Junior and Fresh
man girls, score SO to g. in favor of
Juniors; and the second game be
tween the Seniors and Sophomorps,
score 40 to 90, in favor Of Seniors.
These were very exciting games and
showed good work on the part of the
girls. The next game will be played
by the winners.
While the game at Grants Pass last
Saturday was not victory for our
boys it did not dampen their spirits,
but only added to their zeal for siren
uous practice. The score does not
indicate that it was an easy game,
rather the contrary and good ball
technique was displayed, Among
the players who were quite severely
injured are: Jazz" McMillin and
Walter Jones. the former sustaining
dislocated shoulder and the latter
broken rib and severe strains.
The characters for the play "Our
Aunt from California" to be given
by the Philothespian society, have
been chosen and were announced at
the last meeting. The leading char
acters are as follows: "The Aunt"
Pauline Gift; Sally" Beatrice Gen
ter; "Felicia," Marie Porter; Rosa
lie," lnez Reader Besides the usual
program three new members were
initiated.
Monday morning assembly was
held in commemoration of the birth
day OF Theodore Roosevelt. Rev
Edwards gave us very interesting
and inspiring talk.
Friday morning a talk on preven-
tion of fires was given by Mr.. Stew
ems. after which school was dis
missed early and the students went
in a body to the Vining, where a pic
ture was shown to them concerning
the prevention of fires.

Autoists No More Daunted
By Siskiyou Mountain Grade

The hot-stuff plant turns out about
100000 pounds per day and keeps
four trucks busy hauling sand and
rock from the quarry nearby and as
many more hauling the product to
the paving gang. The quarry at the
summit, which is equipped with a
steam shovel and modern equipment
in every respect, turns out ESQ yards
of rock per day.
The quarry in the valley furnishes
about $50 yards per day, both rock
for the lower road and sand which is
hauled the fourteen miles to the paw
ing plant at the summit. Four
trucks haul sand, making three or
four round trips day over the twen-
ty-eight mile route.
For time two shifts were worked
but paving at night didn't prove eff
cient and but one eight hour shift
is worked at present.
Five miles of power and telephone
lines were built to supply the sum-
nit camp. The rock crushers and
hot stuff plant are operated by cleo
tricity. At the valley plant a don
key engine operates large drag
shovel which bites out sand and rock
from the creek bed to supply the
crusher
Laborers are paid a minimum OF
$3.50 per day. Excellent board is
furnished for $1.05 a day.
The contract held by Mr.. Huber
totals in the neighborhood of a half
million dollars. Equipment in use
is valued at considerably over one
hundred thousand dollars.
Several concrete bridges and cul-
certs. and an undergrade railroad
crossing are being constructed under
separate contract.
The tourist at this season need
anticipate no difficulty in Southern
Oregon. Six miles of pavement ex-
tending south from Grants Pass has
been opened to traffic, eliminating a
rough detour Several miles between
Gold Hill and Central Point are
paved and in use.
From Ashland south the road is
somewhat torn up in one or two
places by grading but they are
short. At the scene of paving oper-
ations few minutes wait may be
necessary while a load of hot stuff
is being rolled. On the whole the
Siskiyou highway is in better shape
for travel than it has been this past
summer and with careful driving
any tourist should make it from
Ashland to Hornbrook in less than
two hours.
The Ashland Klamath Falls road
is in fairly good shape, recent rains
and road work having put it in bet
ter shape than for the past several
months. II is about five hour
drive to Klamath Falls at present
Antoine Giebisch, who has a gradine
contract on Green Spring mountain
has two steam shovels at work and
is making good progress. The coun-
ty has a contract from the summit
of the mountain east and is also max
ing good headway. The new high
way will have a ten percent maxi
mum grade. The new route crosses
the old road in but one or two places
and no difficulty is experienced on
account of the road work.

seemed to be more reactionary, nOtwith-
standing tho unsettled cloth markets.
Selling orders came from the South

while brokers for japanese interests
bought.
The opening advance met realizing iv

March contracts sold off from 2625,
