SHERWIN RESIGNS Popular Commercial Manager of Pa cific Telephone & Telegraph Co. in Ashland Will Ilest. Mr. E. A. Sherwin, commercial manager of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company at Ashland, has tendered the company his resig' nation as manager of the Ashland exchange, effective December 31, 1912. This is on account of ill health, which will in all probability necessitate his going away for two or three months to a lower altitude, and his own personal business inter ests, which require his immediate attention. Mr. Sherwin states that the com pany's business is growing so fast that he considers, in view of the above named facts, that the public will be better served by the appoint ment of at younger man who can devote his entire time to the com pany's affairs in this territory. W. K. Merrill, special agent of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com pany, who is here to check up the office and install the new manager, says that it is with great regret that the Pacific company accepts Mr. Sherwin's resignation and sincerely wishes that he may be as successful in the conduct of his own personal business affairs as he has been in the past conduct of the Pacific com pany's business, and that his health niay.be entirely restored to him. Mr. Sherwin has had charge of the PacificTelephone & Telegraph Com pany's affairs at Ashland continu ously for the past fourteen years and through his untiring efforts he has developed the telephone business from a plant consisting of about one mile of pole line and wire and twen ty subscribers, connected with a mnall switchboard located in the back part of the drug store Mr. Sher win owned at that time, to its pres ent plant with a modern nine-posi tion switchboard requiring nine op erators to make connections for the 800 subscribers that are connected with it. The outside plant necessary for conducting the successful opera tion of the Ashland exchange has grown from one mile to 105 miles of pole line, carrying 195 miles of open wire and five miles of cable, ontaining 1,350 miles of wire, and one-half mile of underground con duit, which comprise the Pacific company's plant now. Mr. Sherwin is to be complimented for his successful development of the telephone business in the Ashland territory. Mr. Sherwin asks the pub lic to give the new manager, Mr. W. W. Ussher, the same hearty co-opera tion in the conduct of the company's business in the future that they have given him in the past. Mr. Ussher will take up the duties of commer cial manager November 1, 1912. Mr. Ussher Is known personally to many Ashland people and Mr. Sher win believes that he will be untiring in his efforts to give the public the best service possible, and as Mr. Ussher has been connected with the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com pany and the Home Telephone Com pany at Medford for several years, thereby gaining the necessary exper ience in the conducting of the tele phone business, there is no doubt as to his ability to serve the public sat isfactorily. Mr. Sherwin desires at this time to thank his many friends and ac quaintances for their past co-opera tion with him in the telephone busi ness. For up-to-date job work call up the Tidings, No. 39. Prompt service and satisfact'on guaranteed. 81 Oak St. LECTURE 0N LIGHTING Professor Fagan Had a Good Crowd Tuesday Night and Gave Very Instructive Talk. The lecture on electricity gien by Professor Fagan, an electrical illum inating engineer, at Chautauqua Tabernacle Tuesday evening, was at tended by a good sized crowd despite the unpleasant night. Mr. Faan is well posted upon his subpect and gave some very interesting examples of good and bad lighting, especially In the way of show windows. He showed clearly that with the lights rightly placed there was not only a much better lighting with less cur rent, but It was much easier on the eyes of the onlooker and much more pleasing in effect. Mr. Fagan also J went into detail as to the manufac ture of the different styles of incan descent lamps. He congratulated southern Oregon on its cheap elec trical supply and closed by stating that he would be in the city Wednes day and would gladly give his advice free of charge to anyone wishing it. Mr. Fagan's local expenses were paid by the Ashland Electric Power & Light Company, and he is kept out on the road by the General Electric Company, thus giving the paradoxi cal example of a firm sending a man out to show how the people can get more by using less of their product. The uses of electricity are yet in their infancy, according to the belief of many of the best posted savants, and lectures along these lines are both interesting and profitable. FORMERiASHLAND MAN PASSES AWAY William H. Hill, Son of Late Hausell Hill, lied at Richmond, Cal., October 1:1. AVilliam H. Hill, oldest son of the late Hansell and Mary C. Hill of this city, died recently at Richmond, Cal. The Richmond Daily Independent of October 15 has the following to say regarding his death: "After an illiness of several weeks at his home, 419 Sixth street, Wil liam H. Hill, a resident of this city since 1905, was called to the great beyond Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. During his residence in this city he has made many scores of friends, and until about a year ago was an em ploye of the Standard Oil Company, but resigned on account of ill health. "Mr. Hill was a native of Charles ton, Mass., and was 64 years of age. He came to the west during the early days. Mr. Hill was a member of Twilight lodge of Odd Fellows, Con tra Costa Encampment and Zephyr Rebekah lodge. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the Christian church, with Rev. Aubrey Wilson officiating. The members of the different lodges will attend in a body, the Odd Fellows officiating at Sunset View cemetery, where he will be laid in his last resting place. "The deceaser is survived by the following: Mrs. "W. H. Hill, A. N. Hill of Fort Jones, W. H. Hill of Alaska and G. Leslie Hill of Oakland, and a number of other relatives in Oregon, Washington and the north ern part of the state." TURN IN FALSE ALARM Someone Culled Out Fire Depart ment Tuesday Evening When There Was no Fire. Someone who apparently had an unbalanced mind turned in a fire alarm from the box at the coiner of Sixth and C streets Tuesday evening about 7:20. The boys turned out and hauled the heavy wagon down there from the city hall by hand, only to find that there was no fire. The police have a pretty good idea as to ha9 been turning in false alarms, and say that if it is repeated the suspected parties will be exam ined as to their sanity. ine city ordinances provide " neavy une or imprisonment ror any one turning in a false alarm or oth erwise tampering with the system. The city is put to a cost of close to $20 for every time the department Is called out and there is a strong dis position to make an example of any one caught giving a false alarm. All His. Senator Vardaman, so the story goes, once rented a plot of several acres to one of his black neighbors. The land was to be planted in corn, and the senator, the ex-governor, was to receive one-fourth. The corn was duly harvested, but the senator did not receive his fourth. Meeting the negro one day, he said: "Look here, Sam, have you har vested your corn?" "Yes, sah, boss, long 'go." "Well, wasn't I to get a fourth?" "Yes, sah, boss, da'ts de truf, but dar warn't no fo'th. Dar was Jes' three loads, and dey was mine." SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES Notes of Services of Various Iteligious Bodies. irrrtt?
