Dan Mylrea is
In Trouble Again
A customer's check for $8500 giv
en to the First National Bank of Val
lejo California for collection arrived
in Ashland today. 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.

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.

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).

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.

On the same train with this corre
spondent, who was on her way to at

at The Dalles, and at the same time

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.
