FOK The BEST IhiNbS
Editor Tidings;
Ashland has reputation for
civic pride and enterprise and the
spirit of do it for Ashland" has
been manifested in many ways.
Amid all the boosting and plans
for material prosperity and ad-
yancement, some have dreamed
of building into the city's reputa-
tiOn an ideal of moral and intel
lectual and spiritual advancement
MS well. Some have caught the in
spiratiOn of these wonderful hills
and the beauty of land and sky
and have felt that our people too
must be big in soul, like the noun
tuins, that our lives ought to have
the beauty of our homes, that God
has "set us in large place" and
We should measure up to our sur
rOundings. Our Chautauqua
building is the outworking of such
an ideal; our restful, beautiful
park is another outgrowth of this
feeling. These same dreamers
have a vision OF this same city,
park and building, used ever for
the high, good things of life, hence
our summer school with its music,
literature, recreation and direct
ed play; hence also our good Scout
troops, our Daily Vacation Bible
School, our Summer Conference
for girls, our Bible Institute. All
these the dreams of those who
want Ashland's best good.
Ashland people, what are they
worth to you? How much of the
work OF this building are you do
ing? Which do you think is. best
for our reputation over the state,
Chautauquas or Roundup, Fourth
OF July celebrations or Bible In
slltutes, cheap shows or summer
schoOls-which is il to be? How
much do you care? Which bene-
fits our boys and girls?
Shall these good things be per-
manent or shall they go else
where. Ashland people must say
and work and help push for the
dreamer of dreams can not do il
all. II you don't care enough to
attend or help, or boost or pay,
they must 80 to some town that
does care.
I'm anxious for these things to
succeed in Ashland. Are you?

wage increase amounting to over
SIS, 100000 as a result OF the de-
cision rendered by the railroad

August, local officials believe.
Employees of the various account
ing departments of the lines are
busy preparing the new wage
scales from lists just received.
Estimates only are possible, as
the effect on various classes of
employees has not been fully work
ed out. Copies of the official
wage readjustment were received
Monday morning by the Portland
officials of lines radiating from the
city but calculations were based
upon news dispatches.
Approximate annual increases
we're estimated by the railroads
as follows: O.-W. r. & N. S2,-
100000; Southern Pacific lines
north OF Ashland, 81. 100000, and
S. p. & r., $1,140.O00.
Half Million Monthly.
The monthly increase to the lines
will amount to about 100000 on
the O.-W. R. & ~, 100000 on
the S. P. and Ss5, 900 on the S.
p. & s.. or a total OF S423. 600 for

In 1904 Harding was elected

hours of eight and nine a. m on

All growing things will have to
observe the Sabbath as irrigation
is not allowed anywhere in the
city on Sundays.
Superintendent Hosler states
that regulations will be stringent
ly enforced and in view of the sit
uation, which is the worst in
years, urges that every care be
exercised against wasting water,
permitting 1t to run onto the
streets, etc.

by purchase or squatting, private
interests encroached on it. In re
cent years nearly all of the sea
frontage has been fenced in, COW
cred with amusement places, ho-
tells and other buildings and bro
len up with private bulkheads and
DOCKS. The strip of beach be-
tween high and low tide, legally
belonging to the public, and inal-
ienable, was for the most part
barred fro mits owners, The
beach was simply stolen, except
in the small section retained by
the city for public bathing, and
the usurpers made everybody pay
to use their beach or swim in their
oceon.
Now New York is planning to
spend several million dollars in
regaining that mile and a half
Of beach and restoring it to pub
lie use. 1t is a fine enterprise,
but one which should never have
been necessary.
New York has only permitted,
on huge scale, what nearly every
community in America is permit
ting in some way or other. Beau
ty spots that ought to be reserved
for public recreation and enjoy
ment, or for public investment and
profit, are allowed to pass into
private hands. The property may
be acquired by its private owners
legitimately enough, so that no
blame attaches to them, but it is
none the less unfortunate for the
city as WnOle.
Immense public fortunes are
thus squandered. Municipal
birthrights are sold for a mess of
rottage. Sometimes the city sue
ceeds, as New York hopes to do,
In repurchasing its patrimony, at
an almost ruinous price. Some
times the loss is permanent-the
sea beach or lake shore or river
frontage, or the old forest land,
OF the picturesque valley, or the
park space in the very heart ol
the city, is gone forever.

FINISH PAVING BARRON
SECTOR; START STEINNIAN

Excellent progress is being
made on the various paving con-
tracts on the Pacific highway in
Southern Oregon and on grading
contracts on various market roads.
Hot Stuff Crew Moves
The "hot stuff" crew OF the
Oskar Huber company is moving
their base Of operations on the
Siskiyou grade from the lower
level, where they have completed
their work to the vicinity of Stein
man station. They this week
hooked up" the stretch from the
old Kingsburg place to Barrons
with the stretch from Barrons to
Steinman. About three-quarters
of a mile remain TO be paved to
hook up the Steinman stretch with
the completed pavement which is
laid as far as Siskiyou.
Close Lower Mixing Plant
The mixing plant located where
the Dead Indian road turns off
will be temporarily shut down and
the plant at the summit opened
up to supply the hot stuff for the
paving on the upper levels. The
highway from Siskiyou to with
in two miles of the California line
remains to be paved and will be
completed by early fall.
The plant at the summit will
then be shut down and the valley
plant reOpened. The lower plant
has exhausted the piles of mate
rial which quarry and sand-pit |
crews have been accumulating
gcr the past year. BY the time
the work near the summit is fin
ished there will be enough ma
terial on hand to run the lower
plant again and the portion be-
tween Owens ranch and the Kings
bury place will be paved.
Due to the fact that the Talent
ditch dam will back wa
ter over the Pacific highway near
the Dodge place, new grade will
Dc established for a stretch of
about three-quarters of a mile and
IL may not be possible to pave this
portion before spring. II the
Weather holds good into late fall
all but this stretch may be COM
pleted.
Overhead Crossing
Work on the oyergrade cross
ing south OF Ashland is being
pushed. Tourists have been detour-
ed by the Boulevard route which
is in good shape. |
North Of Ashland
North OF Ashland the pave
ment is completed to Gold Hill and
will be done in a week or ten days
from Grants Pass south to Rogue
River. The Rogue Rixer-Gold Hill

TRACTOR RIPS UP

watched the tractor demonstration
staged under the auspices Of the
Harrison Brothers. A field which
the hot summer sun has baked

lected by the tractor men as their

the big disc plows drawn by the
sturdy little tractors ripped up

most skeptical that the Fordson
Is there with the goods"
The tractor plowed by using
draw pull of perhaps 22O0 to $500
pounds, ploughing to a depth Of
almost a foot and rambling along
at an amazing speed for such
heavy work. II would take at least
ten horses to plow the same piece
OF ground in the same length of
time.
While one tractor plowed, an
other narrowed with a large disc
harrow and then rolled with an
attachment used for this purpose.
A seeder two styles of harrows
and other modern implements
were demonstrated. All of these
implements can be put In place by
ole man and adjusted by him
from the seat on the tractor.
