"What's the matter with Oregon?
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

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

Shipping Fruit
M. C. 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.

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.
