OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1914 NUMBER 48 to? tond ft. Tidings Another Ashland Victory; Klamath Beaten 71 to 0 Ashlad higs-scnhoolers can well sing "We've got Klamath's goat." after the overwhelming score of Sat urday afternoon, when the local boys took the Klamath team to a terrible "cleaning," 71 to 0 being the official score of Saturday's game. A large crowd was in attendance, the best this season. The peoole are begin ning to realize what interest there is at a game in which the high school is playing. Straight football characterized the whole game, only one forward pass being attempted, and this was inter cepted by Lilly. This was one of the most spectacular plays of the game, as, afte" picking the ball from out of the Klamath man's band, he calm ly made sixty yards for Ashland, with the result a touchdown. This play was made in the third quarter. From the very first Ashland was in the lead, and the score went up rap Idly. By the end of the first quarter the score stood 25 to 0, and by the end of the half 35 to 0. Lilly and Bob Spencer were still the old stand bys of the team, and newsy, Gravy, Mayfield and Delsman butted through the opposing line with their usual vim. However, as before, no man really outshone the others, and the team is peculiarly well balanced. Noel did not make himself conspic uous as he did at Klamath Falls. Claude Hill made the only really no ticeable run, and he was nailed by Spencer before he had gone far. The whole game, while it was a walk-away for Ashland, was one that aroused deep interest among the spectators. It merely whetted their aDDetites for more, and got them looking forward to the real teBt of the season, the game next Saturday with Medford high.' A preliminary game was played be tween the east and west schools, re sulting in a victory of 7 to 6 in favor of the east school. The teams were well matched and all the play ers were real scrappers. Leith Abbott was there with the goods when it came to yell leading. Friday evening the citlzens'of Ash land were surprised to see a long line of enthusiastic high school boys and girls worming their way down the street doing the serpentine. They gave a goodly display of school spirit, contrary to the opinion of Mr. Ruch, who had addressed the students be fore and expressed the belief that school spirit was lacking. They then proceeded to show hiin what they were good for, and as a Tesult the rally in the streets occurred. Today the Klamath team plays Medford.. A holiday will be declared for the Medford students. Read the Election CaU For Yourself S. P. Supplies New Grape Varieties About a year ago, when President J. Kruttschnitt of the board of di rectors of the Southern Pacific Com' pany was in Ashland, he expressed himself as very much Interested In our possibilities. He gave it as his opinion that all of the side hills be planted to grapes of varieties that would insure commercial yields. He snoke of two varieties which he thought would yield well in this soil and environment the Delaware and Niagara. He said he was anxious to see these varieties tried out here. Yesterday Agent Kramer received two dozen of each variety from Mr. Kruttschnitt with instructions to place them in proper hands for the experiment. He desired that they should be distributed as much as might be among our vineyardists so that the test would be effective. Mr. Kramer turned the distribu tion of the vines over to the Com mercial Club, which, through its sec retary, is delivering them today to about a dozen of our best grape cul turists. .' . The plants were selected person ally by Mr. Kruttschnitt and shipped direct from New York state. Some persons opposed to the springs contend that' the proposed charter amendment is so drawn that the council can issue what bonds it pleases, whenever it pleases. That is entirely a mistake. The amendment reads, "WHEN AUTHORIZED BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE PEOPLE" the council shall issue bonds. Thus it will be seen that NO BONDS OF ANY KIND I harmony?

It is a play full of mus'c, laughter, pretty girls, sweet, harmony and what- more enjoyable combination could there be than pretty girls and Ashland-Wedlord Highway Opens Not Later than Dec. 1st CAN BE ISSUED WITHOUT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE. The new charter amendment is proposed only to correct the present charter, which is so contradictory that no lawyer can determine what it does provide. The eastern bond attorneys will not approve our bonds unless this change is made in the charter. Unless the bonds are so approved they will not sell. If they do not sell the springs project will fail. The charter amendment is proper and right and should be adopted. with their rings on their fingers, for Pauline is noted over tho world for its singular beauty, boh in scenes and In music. Mrs. D. D.

Normal Schools Get : Fine Majority in Lane and Multnomah Counties The voters of the state generally were quite intemperate in the use of the "no" last Tueslay and in their effort to reject the so-called freak in favor of the re-establishment of both normal schools. The majority for the southern Oregon school in Lane, county was 2,635, according to the Morning Register, while the east- Judge Tou Velle informs The Tid ings the Pacific highway will be com pleted between Medford and Ashland by the middle of this month and will be opened for travel the entire dis tance not later than the first of December. Between Phoenix and Talent there still is about a half mile to be sur faced, while about a mile between Talent and Ashland is to be com pleted. The paving has been opened to travel the entire distance, it be ing necessary to travel the tempo rary roads only along the unfinished mile and one-half in the two places mentioned above. It Is the consensus of opinion that the contract work between Talent and Ashland will be more satisfac tory to the people generally than the stretch from Talent to Central Point. This opinion is caused almost entire ly by reason of the surface. The Talent-Central Point highway has not been surfaced smoothly but is con sidered by the county board to be more durable and will need less re pair in the years to come than the Talent-Ashland part. There has1 been some talk of smooth-surfacing from Talent to Central Point, but this has not been decided by the county board. One thing is certain In the minds of all who have gone over the high- legislation with which the 1914 ballot iern Oregon school got a majority vote Cold weather. Enders .

The number of peo ple who voted "no" on general prin of 2,329. The complete vote in Mult nomah county gave 3,553 majority in our favor, according to the Oregon Journal, and 1,228 for the Weston school. So far as we have returns ciples this year was enough to have) at this time the heaviest vote regis Elks' Social Dance Thursday Night The social dancing club or the Elks will hold their second dance Thursday evening, and all members of the order who have already joined the club and those who wish to be come members are urged to be pres ent. The social features of the Elks for the winter promise more activity than in former years and the mem bers of the committee are enthusi astic over the encouragement of the members. It is planned to hold the social features somewhat under the club plan, confining the membership entirely to the Elks lodge. The com mittee also plan exchanges of courte sies with the Medford lodge as soon as the Pacific highway makes it easy to secure large attendance by auto. The social committee are being en thusiastically supported by the mem bership and the winter will witness many events of unusual interest. Notes From the Commercial Club The Utilization Of Wood Waste It has been estimated by the For est Service that 1,600,000 cords of wood waste is consumed annually as rofiiBB in the Pacific northwest. This would be sufficient to yield 195 bit lion cubic feet of producer gas, and develop from it 1,125 million k. w. h. of electric energy. Among the present uses of pro ducer gas as a heating medium are annealing, enameling, japanning, soldering, forging, coffee roasting, glass finishing, paper drying, In lime and cement kilns, pottery kilns, glass furnaces, bakers' ovens, and laundry irons. In view of the fact that there is so much wood waste in the northwest, the process of utilizing it in the gas producer and the gas engine is one which seems" to have a good chance 1 for larger development. It Is a more economical method of ' producing power than by burning wood under steam boilers, especially where such mall waste as shavings and saw dust can be used.

The Commercial Club has received from Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific Company, New York city, two dozen each of fancy Dela ware and Niagara grape' vines that he wishes presented with his compli ments to a few of our orchardlsts. He desires these particular varieties to be tried out in this section and requests that a record be kept of their planting, care and progress. These are being distributed by the Commer cial Club in accordance with the re quest of Mr. Kruttschnitt. Mr. Kruttschnitt desires also to be re membered to those of our citizens who so splendidly entertained him on his visit to this city a few months ago. . A. L. Hill Joins Club. A recent acquisition to the Com mercial Club Is A. L. Hill, the new owner of the Ashland Manufacturing Company. Mr. Hill has also pur chased the Woods lumber yards at Medford and will make his home in Medford, but says he considers it' his duty to help support commercial or ganizations wherever he has financial Interests. This is the right spirit, Mr. Hill. Employment Agency. The Commercial Club maintains a free employment agency. It has a long list of applicants for positions of all sorts. Anyone in need of help will do well to make your wants known at Commercial Club headquar ters. Those desiring positions are welcome to register with the Com mercial Club. Compiling Directory. To aid in Its publicity work, the Commercial Club has been endeavor Ing to compile a directory of its own, giving not only the local address of the residents of Ashland but also their place of former residence. The Commercial Club has no money to spend in gathering this information and must depend on your interest and co-operation. For the convenience of our people cards have been placed at the city recorder's office, as, well aa at the Commercial Club . headquar ters. " If you have not already done so, please till out card when jrou pay beaten' almost anything, and if it had not been for the long and thorough campaign made for Oregon dry it would probably have met the same result. When one compares the ma jorities given against the various measures- on the ballot and sees how little was- our -loss compared with some of them it shows that the work done was effective and in an ordi nary year would have passed the measure. Our own people little real ized the force of the tremendous "no" wave which was coming this year. It was not simply a question of taxes, for our normal Bchool bills were the only real appropriation bills on the ballot, and yet we fared well. It was the "no" campaign advocated by so many papers on anything which "you do not feel sure of,'-' Just for the sake of downing the freak measures. It is worth our while to Just look for a little while at some of the re turns which we have at this time. The complete vote Is not yet avail- ! able and the total amount of majority against us Is not known exactly; but we do know some things about it that we are glad to think about, even though we would like to forget everything for a while. Klamath and Josephine counties both gave us a big lift. Lane county voted strongly was very muddy and many cars got stuck and some turned back without attempting the grade. The recent rains had made the red dirt a contin uous mudhole. One car, when belns pulled out of a sink hole, had the whole rear end jerked out from un der It. Mayor Johnson stuck with his car coming down the 7 per cent grade and had to impress the ser vices of about eight men to get him out. But, despite the difficulties en countered on account of the condition of the road, the wonderful work waa given much attention, and those who had seen it were surprised beyond measure. Some indulged in a picnic dinner on the mountain. Those in the party from Ashland were: Mayor JohnHon, Prof. Vining. Bert It. Greer, Mr. and Mrs. Benton Bowers, Mr. and Mrs. H. L.

Kldd, John M. Root, Official Canvass Requires Time The official canvass by the county your water bill, tered. against the southern Oregon normal was in Marion county about 5,400 majority against while in Clackamas county they piled up a majority of about 3,600 against us. A few counties like that and it only shov what a big obstacle any fight for better -school conditions in Ore gon to overcome. It was not Multnomah county, as some people insist, that killed us, for we carried Multnomah county in good shape. The Oregon Journal advised the vot ers to vote "yes" on our measure; the Oregonian made no recommend ation upon It, but made a good state ment concerning the question to be voted and what was involved; the Telegram was the only Portland pa per which advised its readers to vote "no," but they even admitted that it was a good school when In opera tion and made this recommendation only the day before election. None of them was fighting our measure. All these papers, however, were more than friendly to our representative, Mr. Sheldon, and numerous Inter views and other articles In favor of the school coming at a time when the papers had more news than they could possibly print should make us feel friendly to them. Few other measures got the space that we did. Walter Merrick. .InniiH Wnld. Cnnnfv VUM:1 JlldK Tol, V(1e Vf,tt,r Kers,,aw H. ty win nave me uesi rouas on uie Pacific coast.

Then the pony lifts him up and shakes him along his neck to the saddle. until about Thursday, according to a phone message from County Clerk Gardner. He reports that the coun ty board was only' about one-fourth through. The tremendous length of the ballot an dthe Increased number of votes by reason of suffrage being extended to the women made the task unusual. Jackson county, the fifth largest in the state In point of voters, cast almost 9,000 ballots. TheBe were not counted In many In stances until late Wednesday night. It was then necessary to take the sealed ballot boxes to the county clerk's office. Mr. Gardner put a large force to work making tally sheets and compiling the returns from the thirty-five precincts in the county. Saturday morntgn the long hallway in the county building, was filled with ballot boxes, sealed and locked. ...These must be opened and the vote canvassed by the election Outnrri mil ..la no little task.
