The spuds were found when the pile of wood was sawed up. And I here present to Mr. Greer a sample of them, knowing how' all Irishmen love new potatoes. "Yours very truly, "F. G. Mc WILLIAMS."

People's Forum A Few Words of Caution to Voters. In voting for the charter amend ment Tuesday do we, the people of Ashland, fully appreciate what this election has in store for us? If we support the amendment we are real ly only endorsing our votes of last June, when we voted the bond issue with the most enthusiasm that has ever been displayed In Ashland on any project. Do the thinking people of Ashland, on account of unfortunate delays and present business conditions of the country, propose to see this project go down in defeat, because of a few men who are playing the dog in the manger policy? Do we not do ourselves a great Injustice by not standing behind this enterprise, one full of merit and value? If it was a bright and hope ful project last June, why is it not the same today? Because a few men who never did anything for themselves or the com munity propose to play the niggardly policy of trying to defeat the well laid plans of this enterprise for their own selfish interests. I hope the people of Ashland -will show their gratitude to Mr. Greer Tuesday by giving the amendment a big vote. Do it as a matter of co operation with the springs enterprise and for the future prosperity of Ash land. If this amendment is defeated Tuesday let me ask you good people of Ashland what you have to look forward to? What has the future in store for Ashland? With our normal school defeated and our springs en terprise, if it is defeated, what's the outlook? What's going to become of Ashland? Look at the rents "you property owners are getting for your houses. Look at your empty store rooms. Beat the amendment and you will be lucky to have tenants at any price. We talk about our climate, and our scenery, and what good has it done?" Have not the people of Ash land talked It for the past twenty or thirty years? If our climate , is an asset, so are the mineral springs. Both have been here for an eternity nothing having ever been done in this line until a year ago, when one man (Mr. Greer) had the foresight and conviction that we had neglected the best value of the entire valley our mineral springs. Mr. Greer worked the plans out, brought promi nent men here carload of Southern Pacific officials. Show us another man in Ashland with personality strong enough to do this. Also with a publicity fund furnished by some of the leading men and business in stitutions of Ashland he was able (o exploit the springs, bring about the The new conforming guard on the FITS-U MOUNTING rfueql V without rinchr Made op with any size and any sbape lens, right in our own shop.

Prices Right. bond election, which you DeoDle bo I earnestly supported only a few short weeks ago. Now are we. the people of Ashland, going to show our ingrat itude for a few personal reasons, be cause a few' of us have a personal grudge against Mr. Greer? Are we going to assassinate the amendment, wreck the future of Ashland for a few selfish grudges? . ,. ,. Think' carefully before casting! your vote and of the various obsta cles that have been placed In the way of the enterprise and of the vari ous charges that have been trumped up against Mr. Greer. In closing this appeal to you peo ple of Ashaind, Medford, our sister city, is very progressive, and mayj have her eyes on our valuable assets, and pipes may carry our mineral wa ter to her. Will we let them? Tell us by your vote tomorrow. JAMES R. CROXALL. lirt's Wake Up. Editor Tidings: Tomorrow Ash land will hold a special election to validate the mineral springs bond Issue, and the old guards, as usual, who oppose anything that looke like improvement, are out with their hammers. Some are afraid they will build a hotel and bring the water in to the opposite side of the town from which they live in. Some are afraid it will raise taxes. Some are afraid that Mr. Greer will get some of the money. He is only one of three on the commission and bas of fered to resign and let us appoint someone In his place if we desire ft. The people of Medford are very anxious to see Ashland bring the mineral water into Ashland. The Medford Mail Tribune has boosted for it. They say it will help them and the Rogue River Valley. There ought to be and there are enough wide-awake and enterprising people in Ashland who can see that If the charter is amended so that the springs project can be carried out, Ashland is facing an unprece dented period of prosperity and that business in all lines will revive. We cannot build up or even survive un less the springs project goes forward. There is a general approval of the charter amendment, but now is our opportunity. Let's wake up, and do not one wait for the other, but every body come out and vote to amend the charter, and we will blot out the name of "slow old Ashland" and the whole state of Oregon will be proud of Ashland the beautiful, where the mineral waters flow. r - MRS. T. b! KINSMAN. ' The DoK-in-the-Manger Policy. Editor Tidings: The mineral springs in the vicinity of Ashland have been known for fifty years. Some ten years ago they were ac quired by three citizens of this city, but they did nothing to develop them nor would they make any kind of a reasonable price on them, but con tinued to pursue the dog-in-the-manger policy to do nothing themselves or allow others to do so. And when a man came to our city who had the lability and the courage to start the movement for the development of the best and most logical asset we have, and who had the influence nec essary to interest the great Southern Pacific Railroad Company in the de velopment of the mineral springs, this same dog-in-the-manger spirit began to show - its teeth and com mence to organize an opposition to the movement by throwing every ob stacle in the way of the project, which they have done and are contin uing to do. Are the people of Ash land going to stand for such a mean, despicable poilcy to let a few men, for selfish interests, nullify what promises to be the greatest move for the upbuilding of our city in its whole history? Go to the polls tomorrow and cast your vote in the interest of the up building and welfare of this whole community and for the amendment: Yes. F. G. McWILLIAMS. Vote for the Amendment. Citizens of Ashland: The vote to morrow Involves two points: First, If carried, it removes the technical objections, raised against our auxiliary water bonds, making them legal beyond question. The only other method is by a suit to the supreme court, which, while it would doubtless decide the bonds valid, would take much time and expense. The second point is, that an7 bonds in the future which are voted under our present charter would have the same defects as this issue, unless we vote the charter amend ment tomorrow. In that case any future tisanes, of bonds by the people's vote will be legal beyond question. I trust the charter amendment will be passed tomorrow by a splendid majority.0,1 J. B. WARE. .
