MAIN En Review Jackson County Fair The management of the fair asso ciation wish to announce that the list of premium winners at the fair has been completed and warrants for the premiums have been mailed to the respective winners In all cases where their addresses were known. All winners who do not receive their war rants within the next few days are requested to advise S. I. Brown, sec retary, of the fact, and of their cor rect addresses. In addition to the prize-winning exhibits there were many which aroused much Interest. Each depart ment had Its special attractions, some of which were of such nature as to make all former exhibits insignifi cant. The most Important feature, from a commercial point of view, was the display of Kanley brothers of the choice animals of their champion herd of Hereford cattle. Many of our people do not realize that this exhibit represented the high est bred herd of cattle in the United States. The "blue ribboner," Jester, from Queen Bess, sired by Premier II, has never been shown before, on account of his youth, which is also true of Perfection Carlos, by Beau Carlos out of Perfection Belle, Belle having won the blue ribbon at Chi cago. Carlos is a half brother of the grand champion female, all classes, at the American Royal, the Portland International and the National West ern show at Denver. One of these bulls is a brother of the famous Cur tis, 254360, which took all the sweep stakes a few years ago. The heifers shown were taken at random from the "herd, and were Vlole, by Premier II, out of Viola May, and Minnie, by the same sire, both of prize-winning strains, but se lected from different strains from the bulls for tbe purpose of avoiding inbreeding. Tha calf shown was Welcome's Pride, sire Welcome's Druid, dam Gallatin's Pride. A. B. Cook, the owner or the finest herd of Hereford cattle In the world, from whom these were purchased, states that these animals represent the best strains In bis herd. In the fruit and agricultural de partments Interest centered in the ex hibit of D. M. Lowe of 614 varied products from one farm. The usual Table Rock exhibit was next In inter est In these departments.. The management wishes to express its hearty appreciation of the many special exhibits which were made without expectation of any premiums. County Pioneers Reunite Again All the pioneers of Jackson county assembled at Jacksonville last Thurs day to take part in the annual re union which is customary among them. One of the largest attendances ever known before was reported by the Ashland delegation, and that Jacksonville was a fine entertainer is shown by the look of satisfaction that passes across their faces when asked if they had any dinner there. The day was spent In conversation, of which there is always plenty at these pioneer gatherings, in talks by different members, and in a fine big dinner, which was served up by the entertainers. Prof. Irving Vlning read the me morial resolutions, while Rev. Shields of Medford gave the address of the day. Fred D. Wagner and C. II. Gil lette, both of Ashland, were elected president and vice-president respec tively for the ensuing year. The delegation from Ashland was as follows: J. C. Hart, Homer Bar ron, E. J. Farlow, C. E. Watson, Wil liam DeWitt, C. C. Gall, and the Mes dames I. N. Shook, J. K. Van Sant, L. N. Wagner, Mary Dunn, R. M. Gar rett, C. Matties, A. H. Russell, Josiah Patterson, G. S. Butler, M. A.

Shoot The Limit In a Few Hours Otis Helman and Roy Walker re turned Friday evening from the Klamath lakes, where they had phe nomenal success in ' duck hunting, killing the limit in a few hours. Leaving Ashland Wednesday morn ing, they arrived in Klamath FaUs that afternoon, and from there took a launch down Ewauna Lake, where they camped that night. They an chored the launch near the hunting grounds and very early Thursday morning went out by foot to the marshes, where they laid in wait for tbe game. When the sun rose they found themselves to be in a fine spot, and within about four hours both of them, besides another young fellow who was along, with them, had caught their limit. This was almost phenomenal, to be gone for a threa days' trip and in one of the three kill a week's limit of game. The trip was made in Hel man's little roadster and no automo bile difficulties were encountered. On the return trip the roads be tween Klamath Falls and Ashland were very slippery, it having .rained all the night before, s However, they put on chains and came through very safely, though several times they re late that tbe auto came very near sliding into what would have been disastrous places.

European Wars Will Result One inevitable result of the Eu ropean war has been the closing of the various continental watering places, and the editors of various , medical publications in the United States are calling the attention of the public tc the fact that equal ben efits are to be derived from Ameri can spaa. For instance, the New York Medical Journal says in its cur rent issue that since the discovery of radium, the beneficial effects of a sojourn at one of these resorts, once considered to be purely psychic, are now generally attributed to radio activity of the springs setting aside for the moment the obviously tonic and alterative effects ct open-air life, gentle exercise 2nd restricted diet. "In all of these advantages." says the writer, "numerous American wa tering places fall no whit behind those of Europe. We have the pictur esque scenery, a more varied choice of climate, equai professional skill in the prescription of regimen, and, to complete the program waters of ap propriate saline nature and of thoi oughly tested radio-active qualities Dr. Ernest Zeub in of the Uni-'orsity of Maryland is firm in his gool opinion of the value of radium salts; tion ifJ not enouSh: thenj should be In the treatment of arthritic condi- Intelligent const! uctl.-.i supervision." tions, even in obstinate cases of ar-! thrities deformans, and di.-russ3s Notice, carefully the subject of radio-aCti'Mty The First Church of Christ Sci in springs waters, artificial solutions entlst of Ashland, Oregon, announces prepared for drinking purposes, baths j a free lecture on Christian Science etc. I to be delivered by Hermann S.

The fail ings of the New York state comn, le sion concerning the Saratoga springs Mr. Mears9 Fred W. Mears, candidate for con gress on the progressive ticket, a most excellent gentleman and good citizen of the city of Medford, writes an open letter to the Tidings in which he attacks our "inconsistency." The letter is of too great length to give it all space in so small a news paper as the Tidings, and supply space at the same time for our re ply, so we are qontent in printing but his conclusions. Mr. Mears is a cour ageous man. When the republican party went wrong, or, at least, ceased to represent his sentiments, he part ed company with it and joined the progressive party. But in his new role he appears no less partisan. He is an "organization" man. He thinks no great accomplishment can come save through his new party, Just as he formerly contended that no good could be hoped except through the republican party. Later, however, he may yet again change his mind, for now he sees no good in the old and all virtue in the new. He is still a strong partisan, although drooping a little. Some day he will join that great majority of Oregon voters who do not care a rap for any party, but who demand good administration and wholesome laws from the repre sentative, in spite, if need be, of party organization. All things being equal, no objection can be raised against party affiliation, but when party or people must suffer, let the party go to the bowwows, not the people. Mr. Mears still thinks in terms of party expediency. Force thus expended would be better em ployed in the advocacy of good gov ernment. Here is his gumming up in his open letter to the Tidings: "You have never been afraid as an editor to voice your convictions, and for this I admire you. Be kind enough, therefore, to tell the voters through your paper-how they can support both Mr. Booth and Mr. Hol llster. Shall the voters send to Washington Mr. Booth, who In the senate will fight President, Wilson, and at the same time send Mr. Hol llster to congress to uphold - Presi dent Wilson T How can you vote both 'Yea' and 'No' on the same prop In Benefits to Resorts would also furnifh valuable material for iBousideratio?.

How can a man support both Mr. Booth and Mr. Hollister, i however excellent men they both may be, when they are in their tem perament, in their training, in their outlook on life, and in their political principles and policies diametrically opposed to each other?" j The Tidings does not support men on the theory that they are to "fight the president" or necessarily to "sup port the president." They ought not be elected to congress for that pur pose. In their action In congress they should not Btop to think of this man or that. It should be cast but with an eye single to the merits of the measure under discussion, no matter whether that action coincides with that of the president, or any other man. Thething this country needs in congress worse that "repub licans," "progressives," "democrats" or what not, Is MEN, intelligent enough to exercise that judgment that tends best to good government, and courageous enough to exercise It regardless of the opinions of any man, big or little, and without re gard to what effect it will have on any party organization. We think that is the only method by which this government can be Bee are as a government by the people. To fol low party dictation simply means to have government by party, under a system which, as we view it, Is Im possible. The American system Is not one designed for government by party. Taking this view, as we do, what should we care to what party a can didate i adheres? The big question with us Is, will this candidate or that, If elected, exercise a sound, inde pendent action, regardless of any body or anything? We have no sympathy with those who demand "consistent" party ac tion. We have had so much of that in the past that good government was sacrificed to "party regularity and party expediency" until we had little -else but, party favors and spec ial privilege. The people have had enough of that, and we think the (Continued on Page Fire.) Mt. TALBOTT BRINGS SUIT. Wants $10,000 Dunmges From Liquor t uinpaign Managers for Con spiracy. Portland, Oct. 7. Dr. Cora Tal bott, who recently resigned as secre tary of the Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League, and exposed that organization as a Take gotten up by the liquor agents and too rotten for her to be longer mixed up with, has just filed a suit at Portland against A. M. Eppstein, manager of the wet campaign, and O. I). Fort, business agent of the Brewery Workers' Union, for $10,000 damages. The plaintiff alleges that the de fendants entered into a conspiracy to ruin her character. Among the charges made are that Eppstein de coyed her into a room at the Imperial Hotel and tried to get her drunk; that the defendants circulated false and defamatory stories concerning her; that they employed detectives and attempted to trap her into com mitting an abortion; and that Epp stein forged her name to numerous letters soliciting funds, thereby ob taining large sums of money by false pretenses. The so-called "Taxpayers' and Wage Earners' League" was organ ized by Abigail Scott Duniway and Dr. Talbott to fight the dry amend ment. Mrs. Duniway was the presi dent and Dr. Talbott was the secre tary. The only address given on their letterheads was "Box 930, Port land, Oregon," but this, proved to be the private box of Manager Eppstein of the wet campaign. Dr. Talbott resigned and exposed the fake, alleging that she and Mrs. Duniway were the only members of the concern, and that it was only a mask for the operation of the liquor interests. She declared that It was too crooked for her and so Bhe re signed.. Diys Triumph in Kentucky. On September 27 county option elections were held in twelve Ken tucky counties, resulting in nine of them going dry, wiping cut ninety five saloons. The elections were held under the new county option law ex acted last winter. Tnese nine corn ties which voted dry were all dry except one city. These wet ci'iea would spew their product over the dry sections, piling up crime and costs on the taxpayers of the dry com munities. So the people resohed to protect themselves by voting the en tire counties dry by majorities run ning from 210 to 3 S3. Changes Made By New Federal Law One of the changes the new fed eral migratory bird law makes In the game laws Is that It Is now unlawful to fire a gun at a bird before the sun rises and after it sets, says the Klam ath' Evening Herald. Under the old state law shooting was permitted a half hour before sunrise and a half hour after sunset. Many hunters are not aware of this change, and while they would not .intentionally break the law on this score they are apt to do i,t without knowing the differ ence. The federal act supercedes the state law and any part of the latter In conflict with the former is not to be counted in force. Hence this warn ing: Hunters are also warned to be care ful of overstepping the California line while hunting along the Oregon marshes. The bird law, under the federal act, does not open In Califor nia until October 15. Hunters from Oregon who get across the line would be liable to a federal court trial and fine and would have to go to San Francisco for a hearing. This would be In addition to the charge of shoot ing In another state without a license.

Studio Ashland. 45 to 5 Initial Score of Season Forty-five to three was the score made Saturday iitiernoon at the high ! school athletic field, when the high school team played the alumni. Tho game was good from start to finish, and, though tlu; crowd was not as great as might l ave been expected, those present exhibited their enthusi asm by lusty ye'U The stringent con dition of finances was shown by tho small number of hlghschoolers that were present. The following are the men playing on the Alumni ream: Dews, Cum mings, Garrett, Wenner. Grubb, Moody, -Brown, Sayle, Harrison, Mo wat and Tinker The high school team lined up as follows: Frame, center; Gravy, left half; Spencer, quarterback; Lily, right half; Buck, guard; Delsnian, fullback; Anderson, left end; Holmes, right end; Wagner, left tackle; Youn, right tackle; Ash craft, guard. The prospect for the A. II. S. seemed bright from the beginning, the first quarter ending with a score of 12 to 0 In favor of the high school. By the end of the first half the offi cial score was IC to 0. The alumni had a team of all stars, almost all of them having been for mer heroes in the game They did not lose their pluck and vim for a moment In spite of the odds against them. No practice and rusty skill were the reasons for the overwhelm ing score. Ex-'-hptain "Dingy" Gar rett handled the pigskin with a great deal of his former skill, and "Dewsy" and "Brick" did some fine bucking and tackling. "Brick" saved tho alumni from getting a 0 score. The high school team made a good start for the football season, and promises to make again the name of the high school famous in football. In the second half Jones and' Cun ningham were put into the game. Delmnn Is back on the line with his former ability for making record plays, In this game bringing a touch down to the A. 11. S. Spencer showed that he hadn't forgotten how to carry the ball down the field, and made several scores for his tenm. Such a score as 45 to 3 ought to bring out a good crowd to the next game, scheduled to come off with Grants Pass next Saturday. Have your photographs for tho holidays made this month. More time.

Bond houses aro enquiring now about the Ashland bonds with good prospect that pur chasers will soon be at hand. It was Indeed unfortunate that Ashland got on the market a month too late and was caught in the financial fihim; Incident to the European war, but now the financial sky is clearing and Ashland will soon go forward with the springs project. There are still Home technicalities to be straightened out In relation to tho city charter. That will take pos sibly thirty days. The bonds are still to be lithographed and executed and there Is no doubt now but that pur chasers for the bonds will be at hand by the time the bonds are ready for delivery. In the meantime the railroad com pany is holding the springs advertis ing ready to go as Boon as'the bonda are Bold. Virginia Ktill Voting. The drys down In Virginia seent to be voting yet. The incomplete re turns published the morning i.fter election showed that the drys had swept the state by 32,000 majority. Completer returns now chow the dry majority to be about 38,000. Vir ginia tried the license system fc 250 years and got enough of It. Rev. E. C. Richards left Saturday for his home In Klamath Falls. Mrs. Richards will remain in the city a few days longer.
