classes of the Methodist Sunday
school a happy time. From 3 o'clock
until 4:n giines of all kinds were
indulged in, and every move of the
hostesses was watched with eyes
shining with anticipation, as the lit
tle guests wondered what new treat
was in store for them. The fish
pond, where all fished for animal
cookies, came in for its full share of
attention, and the toy watches and
whistles which were later drawn
from a Mother Goose pie, were greet
ed with shouts of Joy by the recipi
ents. Marching to the heat of a drum
was another pleasure which the lit
tle folk enjoyed. The serving of
sandwiches and ice cream cones to

A quiet little wedding occurred at

morning at 11 o'clock, when Ernest
R. Robinson and Miss Lois M. Rob
inson, two prominent, young people
of MedTi id, were united in marriage
by Rev. W. Theo. Matlock of 'the
Christian church. A singular coin
eldenee was the fact that the wed
ding occurred upon the anniversary
of the wedding day of the bride's
parents, un4 one day after the annl
vervaiy o: the marriage of the
Broom's parents. The young couple
will reside iu Medford.
feated side. Thirty-two pictures of
missionaries and mission buildings
were placed around the rooms, and
to Mrs. C. D. Schell was awarded a
beautiful bouquet for being able to
name the largest number. A game
in which a lunch basket formed an
Important part, followed this one.
Each guest was asked to write some
thing of which the basket reminded
him, then to follow that by another
reminiscence founded upon the first,
and so on, ten minutes being allowed
in which to complete the story. The
first honors in this amusing contest
went to Miss Blanche Salsbury. At
a late hour delicious refreshments
were served to the following:
Messrs. and Mesdames James Beagle,
C. R Schell and H. J. Hoyd. Mrs. G.
W. Benedict, Mrs. Frank Salsbury,
Mrs. G. W. Milam and son Vernon,
and Mrs. Guiley, Misses Blanche
Salsbury, Grace Milam, Carrie Jones
and Mary Guiley.
Hicks-McFarlaiid.
At 2:30 in the afternoon of Wed
nesday, June 12, 1912, at the resi
dence of J. M. Hicks on Pennsyl
vania avenue, Le Roy V. Hicks and
Irene McFarland were united in the
bonds of matrimony, Rev. W. T. Van
Scoy officiating, the ceremony in
cluding the bestowal of the ring by
the groom. The wedding in the
midst of the varied timings of roses
was a pretty one, and so quiet that
few people even knew that Mr. Hicks
was in town, as he had been at Pitts
burgh, Pa., for the past year. He
unexpectedly came home on a two
months' vacation, but primarily to
arrange that he might return accom
panied by his chosen life companion.
The home of his grandfather and
aunt, which had been his own home
for a number of years, was selected
as the happy place for the wedding.
Only the two small families were
present. Following the ceremony was
a dinner of rare delicacies, prepared
by Miss Blanche Hicks, assisted by
Miss Marie Martin.
The bride and groom are both na
tive Oregonians. They finished the
eighth grade together in the Ashland
public schools and graduated in the
same class of the High school, that
of 1908. Then Mr. Hicks spent three
years in the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, graduating from the electrical
engineering course in June, , l! 1 1,
and during the past year he has been
taking a practical course in electrical
engineering in the great shops of the
Westlnghouse Electric and Manufac
turing Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
and will spend another year there
completing the course. Then he ex
pects to return to the west to en
gage in his chosen occupation. The
bride after completing the high
school course took special work in
the Slate Normal School. She has
had charge of her father's house for
the past three years, being the only
one of the children still at home.
This popular young couple are well
known by all our young peoplpe. To
say that each has made a happy
choice for life is putting it mildly.
About August 1 they will cross the
continent to Pittsburgh and will
make their home there until the
groom completes his engineering
work. Showers of good wishes, not
of rice, will be poured upon them as
they go to the distant city.

couple entered the beautifully deco
rated parlor and took their position
under a rose-covered bell suspended
la the floral archway, where Rev.
W. Theo. Matlock, of the Christian
chuich, spoke the words which
united their lives. Only the Immedi
ate relatives of the contracting par
ties and a few close friends witnessed
the ceremony. The bilde looked
charming in . a gown of white silk
mull, with which were worn white
satin roses. After the ceremony and
congratulations, the guests " were
ushered into the serving rooms,
where a delicious luncheon was
served, the guests being seated at a
number of small tables. A pretty
feature which commanded the atten
tion of all was the idea carried out
in the decorating, a different color
being used in each of the four serv
ing rooms. White, pink, yellow and
red roses and draperies entwined
with green vines transformed the
rooms into bowers of beauty. An
other pretty and unique feature was
found in the decoration of the hall,
where an American and a Swedish
flag draped together symbolized the
union of the two nationalities.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark are well known
in Ashland, Mrs. Clark being the
charming daughter of John A. Nel
son, so long the proprietor of the

II. E. Badger States That Me Had
Nothing to Do With Killing of
Anderson Ditch.
In regard to the Anderson ditch !
controversy, I would like to state my
position. The deed I gave to the city
for right of way for water main had
no reference, in my mind, to road
building. It was to accommodate
Pellett, Bailey and Pope with a more
adequate supply of water. I had all
I needed and more below the ditch
line. After these deeds were granted
and city accepted same, Mr. Pope re
quested nie to sign a petition to the
council requesting them to cover the
water main. I told him I much pre
ferred seeing the water run in the
ditch. Mr. Pope then stated that his
brother-in-law was an attorney and
was convinced that supplying water
to people outside the city limits,
through that ditch, would give them
water lights on Ashland creek. On
that representation 1 signed the pe
tition, hoping, by so doing, to arouse
the council to take action against any
possible danger to our water rlgirts
on Ashland creek. I believe the road
could have been built to better ad
vantage on grade above the ditch. ' I
have had absolutely nothing to do
with filling the ditch with boulders
or anything else. I kept that part
of the ditch running through nry
property dean and free from obstruc
tions of any kind. I see no reason
why waste water or water useless to
the city of Ashland should he kept
from running through that ditch, un
less parties receiving and using same
could, by so doing, secure water
rights on Ashland .creek. I am op
posed to causing the city of Ashland
one dollar of unnecessary expense
and have not engaged an attorney to
make trouble for the city in anv wav.

Children's Day.
Children's day exercises at the
Congregational church last Sunday
evening were greeted by a packed
house. The church was beautifully
decorated with masses of floral of
ferings, while cages containing ca
nary birds, whose sweet songs gave
a tone of cheer and gladness to the
evening, added a finishing touch to
the general impression of good
cheer. The entire program was
heartily received, each feature hav
ing its own particular merit. Among
the most impressive parts was the
exercise, "The Four Angels," given
by four young ladies attired in flow
ing robes. Each represented a period
of the day, morning being draped in
pink, noon in white, evening in gray
and night in black with silver stars.
The young ladies taking part In the
exercises were Misses Edna Dalmff,
Stella Peterson, Ruth Brown and
Helen Dickerson. The christening of

Anderson ditch is once more free
from obstructions and outside water
users can get water for irrigation
purposes. Following the action of
property owners last Friday in fill
ing up a portion of the ditch with
rock while making a fcad above the
ditch, the outsiders affected took im
mediate action to clear the ditch. On
Monday a force of three men worked
the entire day and succeeded iu re
moving all obstructions.
H. B. Warren, one of the outsiders
affected, stated to the Tidings repre
sentative Tuesday that the ditch
would be kept open and that he had
assurance from Mayor Neil that wa
ter would be furnished them at the
agreed rate. He stated that he and
his neighbors were accustomed to
keep up the ditch at their own ex
pense and that as a result the cost
of irrigation was far more in excess
of the 25 cents per acre paid to the
city. He also said that none of them
had as yet tendered money to the city
for water but had the assurance of
Mayor Neil that when tendered it
would be accepted, as the city intend
ed to carry out its agreement. An
other phase of the situation pointed
out by Mr. Warren was the fact that
the city reserves the right to cut off
the supply at will, thus leaving the
beneficiaries of the ditch at the
mercy of the city.
