PLEASES AUDIENCE

Last evening in the Chautauqua
Auditorium occurred the first OF
series OF two entertainments
being given by the Chautauque
Summer School.
The demonstration of folk anl
aesthetic dances offered by nupils
OF Miss Edith Lindsay was pleas
ing and entertaining, the work of
Jessie Thatcher, Mary Elmore and
Elsie Kitto being especially com.
mendable. Miss Lindsay herself
was presented in a, sol lance,

The artists part Of the pro-
gram was given by Prof. Leland
A. Coon and Mr.. W. Carleton
James, whose excellent work Oh
piano and violin was most heart
lily appreciated by the audience
composed largely of real music
lovers.
Mr.. Coon played for his opening
number Chopin's Scherzo in BIB
minor. His Interpretation OF this
classic was particularly satisfy
ing to admirers of the composer,
and his polished rendition of the
Scherzo showed great versatility
and artistic discrimination. The
encore, Liszt's Concert Etude in
Db was played with a sparkling
brilliancy and finish which showed
his mastery of the piano.
The two movements of Grieg's

anO, were Il delightful treat. MI.
James is always welcomed by an
Ashland audience and his playing
last evening was marked by siril-
Ity and excellent singing legato.
No little part of the pleasure OF !
his number was due to the clear
md sympathetic treatment of the
accompaniment by Mr.. Coon who
showed himself to be real artist.
For an encore Mr.. James present

ightful soothing mOrceau were
fitting close to an evening of

YOUTHFUL SINGERS
PLEASE AUDIENCE

Ashland seems unfortunate in
train service when ii comes to en-
tertainments. The train on which
the Whitney Boy Chorus was eS-
pected Saturday evening failed
TO arrive from the south until
nearly 10 O'Clock. As this was
too late for the full program to
be rendered President Fuller OF
the Chautauqua association an
nOunced that the concert would be
free to those who desired to re
main that late in order to hear
these boys sing. He also an
nounced that the choir would
have charge of union service in
the Chautauqua building Sunday
morning.
The only disappointment felt in
hearing the boys sing was the
fact that the lateness of the hour
prevented them doing full justice
to their abilities. Their enter
tainment Saturday evening. while
cut short on account of the late
ness of the hour. fully came up
to the expectations of the audi
ence. Their four-part music,
younger boys taking the soprano
and alto, and the older boys the
tenor and bass, was exceptionally
pleasing. The obligatO work OF
some OF the sopranos was beautl-
Iul in the extreme. The sol0ists,
both vocal and instrumental,
we're Of rare merit, when one CON
'iders the extreme youth of the
Sunday morning the service
vas turned over to the boy chorus
md the leader. Mr.. Whitney of
seattle. who has charge of the
,oys In this choir. Their childish
'oices in hymns Of praise and /
'rayers were particularly touch
ng and a large audience in the
morning greeted the boys.

GIVE Us WATER

Editor Tidings year 1t
seems the need for water in Ash
land is more and more apparent
but never before has the necessity
been so great as this year. A re-
cent trip down the valley dis
closed what water means to this
country at this season of the year.
In the irrigated sections or those
in which plenty Of water can be
secured for domestic use, a beau
tiful living green enfolds he
country. Lawns ere well kept
and flower beds and gardens
thriving with plenty of water.
Then return to Ashland, the flow
or of the Rogue River valley.
Ashland, with her dried up lawns,
trees shedding their leaves thru
lack Of water, flowers that have
made Ashland's name for beauty
in southern Oregon dropping and
dying, and covered with a veil of
dust. 1t makes ones heart ache
iOr Ashland, the beautiful.
Not only is the lack of water
apparent to promote the beauty
OF Ashland, but it Is becoming alb
sOlutely essential to devise some
means of obtaining more for do
mestic purposes. At the present
low water period those who live
IN the hill districts are almost
destitute of water on days when
the lower sections of the city are
being irrigated. There are many
homes where only the merest
trickle of water comes from the
faucets at these times. These /
people cannot get water enough .
for ordinary household usage, for
several hours during the days
when irrigation is carried on be-
low them. AS for the question of
irrigation on the hill districts, that
Is in many parts Of the city al
most out of the question.
What is going to be done about
it? Are we going TO let Ashland
revert to the desert? Are all our
efforts to make a city beautiful
going to be unavailing, and are
all our work and labor going for
naught? There has never been a
time when | have been discour-
aged over Ashland's future as |
am this year. Cannot we devise
some means of increasing our
water supply before it is too late?

CATTLE WILL BE
SOLD AT AUCTION


Cattlemen throughout the coun-
ty have practically unanimous
ly decided to try out the auction
sale system in the marketing oil
beef cattle. A general discussion
of the old system of cattle and the
points involved in undertaking
the auction system was brought
cut at the meeting of cattlemen
held few days ago, showing the
many viewpoints and different
angles to the proposed new sys-
TEN OF marketing under this plan,
1t will make it possible for the
cattle to be sold at home, and in
stead of the different packing
companies having representatives
run over the county for a week,
visiting the different lots of cattle
several times, under this plan the
buyers will all come on one day
and the cattle viii be graded and
corralled.
They can look them over at one
time, and in one day, see all the
cattle that are ready for market
on the day of the sale.
This will be a great saving in
time and expense to the packers
and as soon as the farmers cattle
are ready to sell, they will know
what they are going to get for
them.
These sales are in operation on
a larger scale in northern Cali
fornia and are proving very sue.

consisting of j. j. Murphy of Ash

of Ruch, and Z. c Hamilton OF
Medford was appointed to have
charge in conjunction with the
Farm Bureau of these sales over
the county. This committee will
probably attend two sales sched-
uled at Redding for the first and
second of September. All the cat
tlemen are watching these sales
with great interest.

o. @. TIFFANY DIES

iN EoNllJhND
Oliver c. Tiffany, a former we'll
known and highly respected citi-
zen of Ashland, died Saturday
morning at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs, Lester NJ. Leland, at
Portland, after an illness extend
ing over about one week. Lobar
pneumonia was the cause of Mr..
Tiffany's death. The deceased
had been resident of Ashland
for about 20 years. He was for
number of years an elder in the
Ashland Presbyterian church and
was active in Sunday school work.
where he taught 4 large class OF
boys, who hold the memory OF
Mr., Tiffany in great respect. He
was also identified with the de-
yelopment of Ashland, and among
the standing memorials of his
handiwork are the stone wall sur
rounding the Presbyterian church
and manse, and the concrete walk
and steps at the new Chautauqua
building. This latter was done
by Mr.. Tiffany two years ago.
Three years ago Mrs. Tiffany
died, and Mr.. Tiffany at that time
gave up his Ashland home and
went to Portland where he had
made his home with his daugh-
ter ever since. Funeral services
were held in Portland yesterday
morning, conducted by Rev Nu-
gent and assisted by Rev. Strange,
a former pastor of the Ashland
Presbyterian church. The body |
was brought to Ashland this /
and inferred by the side
of his wife, son and daughter who
preceded him to the grave. Brief
committal services were conduct |
ed at the grave by Rev; C. F. |
Koehler in the presence of a large .
of Mr.. Tiffahy's former
friends and associates. The body |
was accompanied here by Mr.. and .
Mrs Leland and daughter.

Water Prospeetors Advocate
Installing Small Reservoirs

ervoirs that are practically made
for this purpose by the hand OF
nature"
Accordingto the opinion of these
prospectors the acquisition of
several reservoirs holding. say,
from 25,O00.O00 to $4,000, 900
gallons of water would be the best
plan adopted by the city. And
these reservoir sites area already
spotted Mr.. Smith remarked
further. "These would answer the
purpose admirably. not only for
domestic use in Ashland, but
would supply a plentiful amount
of water each year for irrigating
the lawns, gardens and small fruit
orchards in the city limits.
Everyone knows there is wa
ter enough runs down the streams
for upwards of eight months in
the year to irrigate the whole
Rogue River valley If it were prop
erly conserved" Mr.. Smith stat
ed further. Many people fear
the erection of huge reservoir
up the canyon for fear of it burst
ing some day and flooding the
city. While those casualties have
been known to happen they are
very rare. Anyway it is not nee
essary to build one big reservoir. |
Our opinion in looking over the
field is to build four or five
small reservoirs, then draw on |
them when the water gets low, as
ii has this year. In this manner
Ashland could be supplied with an
abundance of water the entire
year round"
The finding OF the investigating
committee will be brought before
the council shortly.
