The Ashland library board has
been asked to make public their
stand on the subject Of county IL
brary for Jackson county.
The board is in sympathy with
the general idea of county libraries
for rural communities as provided
by the new library law passed by the
last legislature, thus giving service
to districts that would otherwise be
without it,
The Ashland Public Libary was
organized November l3, 1891, and
since that date has been serving
the same district It would be asked
to serve under the county system.
So while holding an opinion favora-
BILE to the county library idea, Ash
land may under the law claim exemp-
tion from taxation for this purpose
as the city provides adequate support
for their own library.
F. e. WATSON, President.
H. T. FLMORE, Secretary.

glass case in the Mormon church
museum, The curator of the muse
um has made every effort to prove
to certainty that the bones are
those of the famous Indian chief. and
the evidence he has gathered seems
to prove their authenticity. These
include affidavits Of early settlers
who witnessed the funeral process
sion OF the chief.
Black Hawk is said to have died
in 1870 as the result of a wound re-
ceived in fight with white settlers
several years previous. Prior to his
death, 1t is said, he visited towns in
the section he had harrassed and
made peace with all of his enemies.
From veterans of the raids made
by Black Hawks bands, 1t is declar-
ed the Black Hawk wars of Utah be-
gan in 1854 when a small band of
Indians encamped near Gunnison,
San Pete county, Utah, suffered an
epidemic Of smallpox and blamed
the white settlers >for 1t. The In
dians attacked small settlements in
numerous communities Women and
children were tortured, children car
ried away and much property devas-
tated according to the stories of the
old settlers. This continued until
about 1872, it is said, when the In

.RUMOR Of BANK
ROBBERY FALSE

There have been persistent ru-
mors last Saturday and Monday 10
the effect that an employe of the
citizens Bank who was in the bank
at late hour Friday night was held
up, the wires to the burglar alarm
cut, he being forced to surrender
some 100000 Of the banks funds.
When asked in regard to 1t today
Cashier V. o. N. Smith stated. "The
rumor is absolutely false and without
the least foundation. No employe
was in the bank after about 5
O'Clock Friday afternoon except the
lanitor who left about six, and I
cannot think OF any circumstance
that might have given rise to the ru-
NOR Furthermore, If the wires to
the burglar alarm had been cut, that
in itself would have sounded the
alarm. Supposing there had been
robbery of $4,000, as stated, it
would not have effected the bank in
the least, for the entire amount is
covered by burglary insurance.

Miss Helen Carlton of Elizabeth,
n j., was in Ashland this week and
with the help of several of the rep
resentative women of the Rogue
River valley, effected the permanent
organization of the girls conference
which held its initial meeting in the
Ashland park this summer. Off
GERS elected for the permanent or
ganlzation were; President, Mrs. e.
N. Warner of Medford; vice-presi-
dent Mrs. John Fuller of Ashland: :
secretary. Mrs. Heine of Medford,
treasurer, Mrs. j. W, Hoyt of Ash
land. Miss Carlton will be camp
leader She expects to leave shortly
for her home in Elizabeth, but will
be back with her girls next summer.
The establishing Of this confer
ence promises to be one of the lead
ing features that go to make Ash
lands summers the most attractive
season of the year. The project was
started last summer with fear and
trembling on the part of the instiga-
tors, who were not certain how the
would be received by the
young girls of Southern Oregon. But
the week spent in the tents here in
the city park was such a success that
the permanent organization was soon
established, and the girls who were
here this year are looking forward
to the season next year that will
bring them back to Ashland. Thirty
young girls enrolled in the first CON
ference, and fifty visited it during
the week, and indications point to a
much larger enrolment next year.

Many have been the comments on

Many have been the comments on
the street today, overheard by the
Tidings reporters, as to the apprecia'
tion felt by the ex-service men over
the interest shown in creating a
fund with which to fit up suitable
club rooms in the city.
Some citizens have talked Of erect
ing memorial monument to the ser
vice men, but the general impression
among the ex-soldiers is that mon
ument is a useless thing, which will
do the soldiers themselves no great
good. Something substantial and
useful is more in keeping with their
ideas, consequently the movement,
started by prominent business men
of the city, TO raise money to equip
club rooms in a comfortable way,
which club rooms will serve as a place
where the service men can while
away their evenings, and talk over
old times, meets with the genuine en-
dorsement and support of the service
men.
