It is drawn on the Granite City Savings Bank and naturally went to the State Bank of Ashland the same institution under a new name. The signature is that of the ubiquitous Dan Mylrea, whose trademark "Mylrea of Course" ap pears on many gilt window signs in Ashland. Mylrea was sent to San Quentin for three years early in 1912 for stunts similar to the present one pulled off in Northern California while he was a resident of Ashland. Counting time off for good behavior he is now just about out of prison. Vallejo is but a few miles from San Quentin. Apparently also Mylrea hasn't been at large long enough to learn of the change in banks at Ash land. He probably got no money from the Vallejo bank but merely a receipt for the draft which he used no doubt to secure credit for mer chandise or loans. At the time he got into trouble in Northern California that sent him up for three years the Weed Outlook said: "About a month ago Mylrea visited Weed and proceeded to get soused. Running out of money, he dropped into the First National Bank and drew a customer's draft on Ladd & Tilton of Portland for J500. The draft was taken for collection only and was of course" returned unpaid. But the deal served Mylrea'spurpose which was to get a receipt from the bank which he could show pros pective victims. " At the same time Mylrea was wanted liv Oregon for cashing at Grants Pass a worthless $120 check on the Gold Hill bank. Peopl e's Forum PTTTTTTTTTTttTI WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR B ml Republican Candidate FOR United States Senator Are you better off now than you were under a Republican administra tion? Are you satisfied? If you believe In the principles of the Republican purty, If you are con vinced that these principles are best for the country, then prove it by voting for your standardbearer, Rob ert A. Booth, Republican candidate for the United States Senate. You know that under Republican presidents the people of the United States have good times. You know that under Democratic presidents you have Democratic times. Remember the prosperity under McKlnley, Roosevelt and Taft. Remember conditions under Cleve land and Wilson. ' The issue In this campaign Is not one of personality. It is not one of non-partisanship. It is a question of whether you prefer prosperity under Republican administration. Do you have work enough? Are your wages good? Is your business what you want It to be? lr you are satisfied with present conditions, well and good; if you be lieve that the present situation is better than under McKlnley, Roose velt and Taft, you know what to do. The way to bring back prosperity is to help elect a Republican Senate. The Republican candidate In Oregon Is R. A. Booth. (Paid advertisement. R. A. Booth Campaign Committee, Morgan Bldg., Portland, Ore.) Likes Tidings' Position. Ashland, Oct. 5, 1914. Mr. Bert R. Greer, Ashland, Ore. Dear Sir: I am responding to your post card notice asking for my renewal of subscription to the Tid ings, and herewith enclose my check for renewal for another year. I am doing this business by mail as I want to personally thank the writer of that peerless answer to Mr. Mears' open letter in Monday's Tidings, which voices my sentiments for years past, and ought to stir the good red blood of every true American citizen, and any man that has the courage of his convictions to voice-such senti ments and act accordingly has my hearty approbation, though I am at a loss to see how you can support. Mr. Booth, when, so far as I can learn, he is the Oregonian's old standpat candidate if there ever was one, and to my way of thinking stands exactly in this respect where you-justly ac cuse Mr. Hawley of standing in col umn 4, page 2, of this issue of the Tidings. Besides this, you acknowledge Chamberlain, Lane and West were elected because they stood for pro gressive principles and were worthy. Why turn out a worthy man like Chamberlain, who has, so far iis I can see, fully come up to the voters' expectations, and put in his place an untried man like Mr. Booth, whom the standpatters and old assemblyites are putting to the front by all means at their command, either fair or foul? Besides, the court records plainly show his company, if not himself in dividually, used illegal means to se cure timber lands and they were taken from him or the company. I am not- writing for publication, but you have permission to publish if you see fit. R. D. SANFORI). 4 Wake Up! To the People of Ashland: What seems to be the matter with you? Don't you think it is time tha you awoke and looked around your own beautiful country and its resources, with its plentiful supply of fruit and farming land, railroads at your door, and one of the finest springs in the world? AH it needs is just a little backbone and push to develop one of the greatest health and tourist cen ters in the world, for the mineral in the water has all and more properties than all the famous watering places of Europe, and if the whole town would just get together and say, "We are all going to get together and have this town become famous, for It has been asleep long enough," why. It can be done by everyone in the town buying a few shares of the bonds for themselves. Just think how fine it will seem when you go down to show your friends from the east, west, north and south your baths and building and springs, when you can say, "We, the people of this town, own these springs," instead of saying "Some eastern capitalists bought up the bonds and own the springs." Now that all of Europe is at war and it will take years to get back to Itself again, thexAmerican people and also Europeans will be hunting our country over for some place to spend their money and seek healthful springs, and nowhere in this world can you find a water that will excel the famous Bprings of Ashland. That reminds me. Last year one of the largest importers in San Fran cisco was telling me that every year his wife and family insisted on him going to Carlsbad (Germany) to the springs for the rest cure. Just think, a man traveling 17,000 miles to take a rest! Not only him, but thousands of others go every year on the same trip, spending thousands of dollars to see how tired and wornout they can get. But can you blame them, for no-J where have I found water to equal them until I reached Ashland. And as the little boy says, "There I sawed it." And all it needs is not some one, but all get together and develop them yourselves and get the benefit of the results. Don't! run around looking for some one to come in and take one of the grandest things away from you, for God hasn't blessed every place on this earth like he has Ashland with such a grand watering place. So now strike the iron while It 1b hot, and don't sit around and wait for some live man. Just get alive yourselves and look what you are loosing by waiting for the other fellow. A. TOURIST. best corn, and, as a reward, was given a trip to the state fair at Salem. He had never been, all his fourteen years, outside of his county, and hi eyes were almost literally glued to the window pane. Don Lowe, had followed in the foot steps of his father, had prize farm products to exhibit. But small 11-year-old AVilbur God love of Medford was, by all odds, get ting the most out of the trip which he had won through his 300-pound prize pig. "Why," said he, "I didn't know there was so much country in the world. There is more even than the geography tells." And that is about the idea one gets of Oregon when one is exploiting for the normal) for surely there Is no end of the country to canvass, and there are such a lot of people. . When Lane county was reached we "began to talk normal to the women, and will say right here if this ques tion depended 3olely on the women's votes there would be no doubt of the measure carrying. The "cry of the children" appeals to them. In the three days spent in Portalnd all of the literature carried direct was dis tributed. Some of it went to Oswe go, a big grange cetner, and surely will be circulated. Much enthusiasm was shown for the Ashland normal at the Methodist conference being held in Portland. There were hun dreds of the women of the city in attendance and .nany promised votes. The most important was the promise of Mrs. Wagner to endorse and pro mote it. She Is president of the fifty two Parent-Teacher circles of Port land, and a personal interview awak ened her interest, as it did also of Mrs. R. Bondurant, who is chairman of the Widows' Pension State Com mission. For eld friendship's sake she will be an earnest worker. Today the boat for The Dalles has many delegates to the W. C. T. U. convention on board, and they are equally interested. Three of the most prominent have promised to help me promote for the same at the conven tion, which means a good deal of sup port which will be welcome and will probably save the expense of buying a throat mixture. I will close this letter at once be cause the magnificent scenery of the Columbia on this perfect day is spread before me and one cannot af ford to lose it. Later a letter with other news will follow. MRS. M. M. EDMUNDS. The Ashland Normal and Other Mat- tern. On the same train with this corre spondent, who was on her way to at tend the State W, C. T. U. convention at The Dalles, and at the same time do all the possible promoting for the Ashland normal, were three of Jack son county's proudest boys. Claus Charlev of Eagle Point had distinguished himself by raising the Fifty Redskins ' Pass Through City A session of the United States Fed eral Court now being on at Medford occasioned the passing through Ash land Monday evening of an unusual company. The company consisted of about fifty Indians from the Klamath Reservation, conducted by Indian Agent William B. Freer, Former In dian Agent Watson and James John son, a full-blood Indian who is Res ervation chief of police. An interpre ter was also carried, for though many of the younger Indians talk good English there were older ones in the party who have never taken kindly to the white man's tongue. The pilgrimage ofthls company to the Federal Court session was occa sioned by the bringing forward at this term of two murder cases in which redskin slew redskin. One case Is that of an Indian named Smith who slew another known by the' picturesque sobriquet of Link River Beal. The other is the case of Jim George, accused of the murder of Peter Brown. The Indians were an unusual sight In Ashland despite the fact that their reservation is within a day's auto drive'of the city. They attracted con. slderable attention despite the fact that their dress was almost wholly civilized and only their dark skins and glossy black hair told -their In dian blood. As a whole they were undemonstrative and unconcerned, though many of them were not at all regular travelers on the railroads. Despite federal laws and official vig ilance, it was noted that at least one buck was drunk as a boiled owl. Agent Freer is a new man at the Kalmath Reservation but has been in the service for many years elsewhere. He spoke In highly commendatory terms of Indian Commissioner Cato Sells much to the gratification of the writer, who knew Sells personally for years an a democrat and a force In Iowa politics. Mr. Freer shook his head as he looked at the one Indian who was Intoxicated and remarked. "They're In a moral decline. I hope to work them out of it to some extent, but It's no easy job. Gambling, drinking, sexual excesses and fighting are dis tressingly prevalent on the reserva tion. I have established a prison camp and am working out a system to make ttie malefactors labor on the highways. I .have about a dozen In the camp at present. We have Indian police over them and a white man to superintend the road work." Just at this point the train started and a very interesting conversation was broken oft as the several Indians on the platform swung aboard, fol lowed by Agent Freer. Dr. F. M. White of Klamath Falls, who had to do with the murder cases in his ca pacity of physician, was also in the parly. Fhone job ofders to the Tidings.
