Reasons for Train Delays.
The Oregon Railway Commission
has issued a bulletin on train delays
that gives some very interesting
data. The information Is gathered
from reports of the steam railroads
carrying passengers in Oregon, and
shows that the Ft. Stevens branch
of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway had the best record, 97 per
cent of its trains' being on time dur
ing August, 1913. The Oregon Trunk
Railway stood second with 96.7, and
the Great Northern third with a per
centage of 95.1. The Ashland-Port-land
line had a percentage of 73.9,
and they averaged 13.8 minutes late
per train run. The average on this
road for August was made bad by
two bridges which were burned and
which delayed all trains several
hours. Only 2 per cent of the delays
were from wrecks, 26 per cent being
waiting for connection of the S. P.
and 7 per cent waiting on trains on
other roads. Nineteen and one-tenth
per cent of the delay was at stations,
being largely caused by ,the large
amount of fruit express handled.

Reform In
-Grade "Exams"
Salem, Ore., Oct. 6 State School
Superintendent J. A. Churchill last
week announced a reform in the
eighth grade school examinations.
Beginning next spring, physioloity
and geography will be eliminated
from that examination. Physiology
is now finished in the sixth grade,
and geography in the seventh, and
in the past it has been necessary for
eighth grade teachers to spend con
siderable time reviewing those sub
jects for the pupils preparing for the
final eighth grade examination. Su
perintendent Churchill now purposes
to let the pupils take the final ex
amination in physiology when the
subject is finished in the sixth
grade, and the final examination in
geography in the seventh grade.
"This will save much crowding in
the eighth grade, and permit the
teachers to devote all their time to
the regular eighth grade work," said
Mr. Churchill. "This change will ap
ply only to the eighth grade exami
nations in May of each year."
GOOD SAMARITAN IS FREE.
Jury at Oregon City Refuses to Con
vict Man for Aiding Injured.
Oregon City, Ore., Oct. 6. On the
ground that he was a Good Samari
tan and that he bound up the wounds
of the injured and atended those
who were ill without cost, Joseph
S. Rickard was acquitted in justice
court recently by a jury before whom
he was tried on a charge of practic
ing medicine without a license.
The charge was that Rickard had
accepted $1.50 for services in a case
near Wilsonville. He contended, on
the other hand, that the charge was
to cover the cost of bandages that
he used and that his services were
given freely.
Rickard said he was licensed to
practice in several . states in the
Union, but that he was a retired
physician and had taken out no
license in this state.
Suspicion Is
Often Unfounded
Recently a local business man,
while in a store in this city, picked
up a five-dollar bill front the floor
in front of the counter. Neither the
proprietor nor any of the bystanders
had lost the money, but the store
keeper remembered that a lady had
been in the store shortly before to
pay an account and that she had
carried a number of lbose bills in
her hand. Some days later the lady
came into the store and declared
that one of the local banks hatLshort
changed her. The proprietor of the
store told her of the money having
been found and asked here where
else she had been spending money.
She told, and on going there found
that the proprietor of that store had
picked up a ten-dollar bill on the day
in question. Had she not mentioned
her loss to the storekeeper, or had
the bills been picked up by dishon
est people, she would have gone to
her grave sure that the bank had
wronged her. This is another argu
ment in favor ot paying all accounts
by check.
Hungarian Lottery Seeks Dupes.
J. Leslie Corbett has handed the
Tidings a" circular receiced addressed
to F. L. or J. L. Corbett, engineer,
Ashland, Ore., U. S. A., advertising
the "33rd Great Royal Hungarian
Lottery." The circular is in Eng
lish and states that the lottery is a
state undertaking and not private
like many others. Nearly every sec
ond ticket must win. Evidently the
art of writing alluring advertisements
is not confined to the U. S. A., no
matter how much we hear of the hon
esty of foreign advertising as com
pared with American. Mr. Corbett
says he, is not anxious to get rich In
a hurry so' will not invest. Whether
or not advertisements, mailed in a
foreign office come under the' United
States postal laws concerning lotter
ies or not is a question upon which
the Tidings is not posted, but this
question, arose when the United
States was fighting the Louisiana
lottery after it moved to Central
America.
3,814 Miles Without a Puncture.
L. L. Mulit has run his Studobaker
car with a set of Goodrich tires
3,814 miles this season without a
flat tire. This is a remarkable rec
ord, especially as it includes a. trip
to Klamath Falls and out into Lake
county. Who can beat it?
The British government's old age
pension scheme Is producing some
remarkable figures, for the statistics
for 1912 show that 603,380 women
were' in receipt of old age pensions,
as compared with only 362,628 men.

Died.
Elsie A. Lucey, September 29.
1913; born January 21, 1888.
Elsie was a young lady of beautiful
spirit and noble character. Like
others who have gone before, she
was called to the mystic shore from
whence none returneth. She died at
the Sacred Heart Hohpital, Medford,
where she had been taken in the last
days of her suffering.
Elsie A. Lucey came to Ashland
early in June of this year from her
native state, California, to be with
her father, who has nobly cared for
her. She hoped until the lant that
her health might be restored, but
that dread disease, tuberculosis, had
become embedded in her sweet young
life and had her claimed.
Those who knew Elsie in her last
sickness could hot but admire her
beautiful character.
She was buried from the Catholic
church of her belief and raising in
the Ashland cemetery, Wednesday,
10 a. m., October 1, 1913.
We laid her to rest amid the flow
ers and trees with the birds singing
the last lullaby song. Sweet be thy
sleep. God will care for you, dear
girl.
