At a recent meeting of the South ern Pacific's board of pensions, in San Francisco, three veteran em ployes of the lines in Oregon were placed on the retired list. The three whose names go on the honor roll are Frank R. Dunn of Portland, trav eling freight agent; Francis M. Cum mlngs of Clackamas, conductor, and Carl F. N. Alsted of Cottage Grove, pumpman. Since establishing of the pension system In 1903, 622 names have been enrolled on the list of re tired veterans, and up to June 30 of this year $1,764,295 had been dis bursed in pensions. Railroad freight traffic through here of late has been the heaviest In tonnage In Southern Pacific history, both north and south bound. As a result several additional freights have been placed in the service. On a recent date the heaviest train which ever attempted the Siskiyou grades went over the mountains. Shorter trains on speedy schedules are also in evidence occasionally, a notable Instance having been 18 cars loaded with hops exclusively, east ward bound on limited time. John Ruger, until recently env ployed at the local roundhouse, has secured a position In the Southern Pacific employ at Red Bluff. His family remain -In Ashland for the present. HI Frazer, S. P. foreman of water service on the Shasta division,, Is vis iting friends here, accompanied by his bride, who was formerly Miss Elizabeth Hardy of San Diego. In the last state industrial com' mission's report three accidents sus tained by local residents are enum erated in the classification. They are W. J. Keeton, Injured leg; George Culy, mashed toe; J. 0. Marrett, bruised knee all railroad opera tions. C. A. Bridenstlne, credited to Dunsmulr, but who runs out of this station, suffered from injured eyes. William Hood, chief engineer of the Southern Pacific Company, passed through this city Friday bound for his home In San Francisco. He has been inspecting the new lines of the company from Eugene to Coos Bay. The Coos Bay road he found to be well along toward completion. Only 19 miles separates the ends of the rails which are pushing from Coos Bay and Eugene toward each other over the Intervening 124 miles. Bridge and trestle work Is hot quite completed, however, a lack of lumber holding back operations. The Southern Pacific Inspection crew made its annual visit to this station on Thursday, looking over the physical condition of buildings, groundB and equipment. Chief En gineer Barlow of San Francisco was In charge. J. W. Metcalf, superintendent of the Shasta division, has issued the following bulletin: "Assignments One freight brakeman, Ashland extra board, H. R. Adams, vice J. J. Loom- Is; one freight brakeman, local freight, Dunsmulr to Redding, ca boose 299; B. B. Kellogg, vice C. F. Healey; one freight brakeman, local freight, Hornbrook to Ashland, trains 225 and 226, G.

The "Safety First" cards advertis ing the Southern Pacific Company are a typographical curiosity, having on them the words, "Safety first. We do not want careless men In our em ploy," printed In fifteen languages Russian, ' Slavonian, Hungarjagj; Nor wegian, Crotian, Spanish, Servian, Italian, Polish, Greek, Swedish, Bo hemian, German, French and Eng lish. Traveling so secretly that he is buying his own tickets and traveling on a second rate train to escape pub licity, W. H. Harrlman, vice-presi dent of the Southern Pacific Com pany, and his bride passed through Ashland Tuesday night on train No. 53. Mr. Harrlman, who is the son of the late E. H. Harrlman, has 'at his disposal one of the finest private" cars In the United States, and a whole railroad system awaits his command. Where he so Inclined a special train would be run to accommodate him, but desiring to escape publicity and not to let his Itinerary be known, he has chosen to travel as near Incog nito as possible. 1 ' Weight Sealers Accomplish Much The state office of weights and measures has issued the first quar terly report showing the work accom plished under the 1915 laws. The report Is compiled by Deputy Sealer Fred Buchtel and is a comprehensive although condensed summing up of the work done. The new law divided the state Into four districts, Instead of having one official for each county, as hereto fore, with the apportionment of the expense pro rata per county, accord ing to population, this not only pro moting efficiency, but reducing the expense of operation. Out of a total of 2,958 scales that were inspected and tested, 493 were condemned and their use not allowed, while 624 were adjusted, corrected and sealed; 2,598 weights were tested, of which 223 were condemned; 448 liquid measures were tested and 49 con demned. No inaccuracies were found In the linear measures tested, 250 tests having been made. In sum ming up the results of the first quar ter of work, the officials are of the opinion that much good has been ef fected and In a manner that will ac complish the best results without working any undue hardships on the merchants, the majority of whom are found anxious to co-operate in secur ing honest weights and measures. Glendale News: A number of the Southern Pacific Company employes, and several other parties from Port land, returned last week from a suc cessful hunt at Dutchman's Butte, near West Fork. They killed twenty three deer, a timber wolf and a black bear. The bear Is said to have weighed about 275 pounds. Those In the party were Joe Stutt, Howard Scott, W. O'Malley, Ed Schiller, Al Spallnger, Dr. Munson, Dr. Loomis, Harry Bodley, Frank Hewitt and Oscar Hasenmayer. ' j m Copied Records - And Kept Honey - -.- I Jacksonville Post: Jackson county has, Broughmt suit against .Fred L. Colvlg, ex-county recorder, to recover about $800 which,' It is alleged, Mr. Colvlg received for making copies of the records for private parties and which he failed to turn over to the county. It is said that Mr. Colvlg admits receiving the money, but con tends that it belongs to him, as the making of these copies was no part of his official duty and that the ques tion of compensation therefore was simply a matter between himself and the parties for whom they were made. That the practice is general be comes apparent from the fact that over in Coos Bay a campaign is being waged against county officials indulg ing in the same practice. A suit to decide the legality of such action on the part or county officials will be welcomed throughout Oregon. The Oregon Voter of Portland has the following to say regarding the practice, speaking of the controversy in Coos county: "Voters of Oregon outside of Coos county have no Interest In this con troversy except as similar practices are resorted to in their home coun ties. And if county officials in many counties do try to earn a little money In perquisites over their meager sal aries, the practice Is not so repre hensible when a charge Is made for a service performed as when the offi cials systematically try to build up a private business for themselves in performing these services and ob taining pay for samo from people who seek to sell supplies and obtain contracts from the counties. "Several unscrupulous dealers have pursued the policy of buying mailing lists from county officials as a means of handing money to the of ficials, thus building up a good will for themselves as dealers. When the time comes for giving orders, such dealers stand so well with the offi cials they have hired for petty serv ices that it is much easier for tbem to get the 'orders. Thus taxpayers' money is paid out to dealers who have paid county officials for serv ices. "Do not blame the poor devil of an official. His salary Is too small, and the narrow-minded taxpayer is one of the causes of the salary being so small. . Nevertheless, these prac tices should not.be tolerated. We should pay county officers high enough salaries to permit them to live decently without resorting to the sale of mailing lists and other serv ices in an effort to eke out a living and save up something for the fu ture." War Has Created New Apple Market The effect of the war on the apple business has been less disastrous than anticipated, and, In fact, has opened up promising new markets, according to Bulletin No. 302, "Ap ple Market Investigations, 1914 1915," just issued by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. A perti nent paragraph from the report fol lows: "The effect of the war upon the industry has been found to be less disastrous than was apprehended. Because of the cheapness of the fruit consumption was stimulated until the exports far exceeded expecta tions. The German ports being closed, large quantities were shipped direct to the Scandinavian markets for the first time and trade with South America has also Increased greatly and should continue to do so, especially if the growing trade In meat products affords additional re turn facilities for shipment. Careful selection, grading and packing by hand Is, however, essential to the de livery of the fruit in good condition, and only stock that may be classed as 'fancy' or 'extra fancy' should be exported to South American ports." Fifteen thousand copies of the Oregon state game and fish laws are now being finished up for the game commission. An advance copy was received by the Tidings. The book Is of handy size and Is arranged so as to provide easy reference to any wanted law. Every sportsman should have one and a copy will be mailed free upon application to the State Fish and Game Commission at Port land. Notice. Private school and kindergarten.

The sheriff was after them on account of depreda tions committed at Talent. I Remarkable Growth Of Douglas Fir '""'S Results, published In a recent issue of The Timberman, relative to a For est Service study of tree growth, show that a certain typical stand of Doug las fir, about sixty years of age, on the western slopes of the Cascade range In Oregon, has produced 6,297 board feet during the last five years. This is a specific test bearing upon a topic about which there has been much speculation. In April, 1910, three sample plots, an acre each in size, were laid out in a 64-year old stand of Douglas fir, second growth. Each Individual tree was tagged and numbered, and a record made of its measurements. This spring, five years later, these plots were remeas ured by the same methods. Some trees had died, others had stagnated, but the majority showed a growth of at least an inch in diameter and a few as much as two inches. In fact, the average annual growth per acre was found to be 1,259 board feet. This is gross, scale, no allowance being made for defects or breakage. It should be understood that this Is not an exceptional stand in a fa vorable location. The conditions aa to soil, climate and exposure are all average, and therefore the growth indicated is not in excess of what may be secured on any good quality site on the Cascade foothills. The path of success leads not through the flowers, but over the rocks. J. A. Seavey will erect a $20,009 theatre In Springfield. Classified Advertisements (Continued from Page Three.)
