I was told our exhibit at the San Francisco exposition was no good and for t hree days I walked past our building and never went in. Then I decided to see for myself and I did. There Is absolutely nothing the matter with the exhibit. It's a cork er from start to finish one of the best at the fair. I'm sore at whoever said it was poor and I'm sore at other things, too." This is the view of H. H. Haynes, president of the Haynes-Foster Bak ing Company, as told by the Port land Telegram. "Why In the name of common sense isn't Oregon getting the pub licity she so richly deserves? That is what makes me boll, and I'm ready to fight about It. . On the .train I met hundreds of people who said they knew very little about Oregon and wanted somebody to tell them about our state. I had my hands full, but I did my best. Oregon Is getting no publicity either at the fair or en route there know about Seattle because that city has trained people at the depot dis pensing information. They know about San Francisco, Los Angeles and San iDego, but Portland and Oregon there's, nothing doing. "I propose to find out why and see if something can't be done. I believe it's up to the Chamber of Commerce, the mayor, the governor, the various trade organizations and others to start something and tsa't it quick. Seven months have been lost already and only about fou months remain. Let's get busy!" Mr. Haynes has hit upon a scheme which is to be presented at a luncheon of the East End Business Men's Club to be held at 12:15 next Monday. "My plan Is this," said Mr. This Year's Fires Greater It is thought that this year the loss by forest fires will probably be greater than last, owing to the long period of dry weather and the favor able conditions for fire. The follow ing article Issued by the forest serv ice tells of losses for 1914. The 1915 losses will not be compiled un til the first of 1916: The district forester at Portland reports that for the season of 1914 there were 1,300 fires of all classes on the national forests of Oregon, Washington and Alaska. Of this number 972 were extinguished by rangers or guards before any appre ciable damage had been done. Each of the lamnlning 338 burned over ten or more acres. According to the district forester, the 1914 weather conditions were the most favorable to the spread of fire since 1910. Hud the strong north and east winds of 1910 again prevailed, the season would have been worse, since the forest cover was drier. In spite of the extreme The people drJ'nes8 wnlch rendered the forests line under, only auoui one-nun u much timber was killed as In 1910. The success In keeping the timber loss to a comparatively low figure Is largely due, says the district forester, to the fact that the service has six times as much telephone line as In 1910, nearly two and one-half times as much trail, and many more high peak lookout stations'. In 1910 the service had but few men who had ever fought fire to any extent. In 1914 It had veteran fire fighters In every locality, with well-thought-out and recorded plans for any fire that might occur. When a fire was re ported there was, no loss of time. Men and supplies were rushing to ward it within a few minutes. For Instance, on the Fremont forest last summer the ranger at Silver Lake received a telephone message of a Haynes. "Let us place on ever fire twelve miles away. In accord train between Portland and Ashland, ance with a prepared plan, he went a conductor, to be known as an Ore- on horseback three-eights of a mile gon personal conductor, garbed In a to Sliver Lake, where he collected a special uniform, with his title' on his crew. of ton men and took tbem to cap.

"When we passed through Eugene there was a flower bed, or rather a bed of roses. There was a sign ask ing that the roses not be pVicked, as preventable. Every one of the others is due to thoughtlessness, lack of judgment or maliciousness of man. Many men through city habit uncon sciously throw away burning matches or tobacco, and a forest fire often results.

Lininger, who Is operating a fruit agency, reports that he is ship ping a car of fruit about every other day. Pears and peaches are the sta ple fruit now. Prices are poor, how ever. The apple market shows bet ter promise, and farmers are looking forward to that season. The cannery owned by Mr. Linin ger is running full blast and putting up thousands of quarts of tomatoes and pears. Mr. Lininger is putting up some mighty fine fruit this year, and hopes for a good local market.

Bolton, druggist, reports cus tomers greatly pleased with tho QUICK action of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed In Adler-1-ka. This simple remedy drains the old foul matter from the bowels so THOROUGH that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of consti pation, sour or gassy stomach. It la so powerful that It Is used success fully In appendicitis. Adler-l-ka never gripes and the INSTANT action is surprising.

The fact that the first five feet of the well was bricked saved him from certain death. , His escape was miraculous. Outside of i the shock and minor bruises hs suf fered no Injury. 'Ulrich went down Into the well to remove some buckets that had fallen into the water. His wife with the aid of a rope hauled up these arti cles. On the return trip he attempt ed to crawl up by means of the rope and failed. He then started to climb minister first aid, the extent of his condition being unknown. Finally after two hours In his perilous pre dicament he was lifted to the top. The well has been dug for over fnrtv vears.

GUY GOOD, Manager Ashland, Oregon Ists on the Shasta Limited, an,l some body might be disappointed. After the train started a colored womnn came through the train and gave everybody a rose. That aot caused a lot of favorable comment, and Kit gene won't be forgotten.

Let s do something and do It mighty quick." Wahpung Has Chinese Garden Wah Chung, Ashland's Chinese merchant, has a nice little garden patch, where he grows both vegeta bles of native variety and vegetables of Oriental variety. The other day one of the employes of the Tidings office was shown over the patch. Chinese cucumbers grew In abundance, and some Chinese string beans. The cucumbers were found to be of a superior flavor than the ones grown usually here, as the writer found when he tested some out at home that evening, Mrs. Wah Chung having given him several. The Chinese string beans are a va riety that grow on trellises and are all the way from one to two and a half feet long, and are free from the so-called strings, which make the pre paring of the usual bean so hard. Mrs. Wah Chung says the Chinese prepare them much the same as we do. Other Chinese vegetables are grown in the paten, tne names or which are impossible to tell. eight dollars in wages on every thou sand feet of timber destroyed.
