This is the fir.st incident of the kind ever heard of in this country. The coyote was in a lane when the car over took him.

The old buggy which, was smashed in the collision with George Barron's car several weeks ago still stands alongside the road near Frederick. In an effort to get a decision upon which a damage suit could be based, the driver of the buggy had Mr. Bar ron tried on a charge of reckless driving. The case was tried twice and the jury disagreed on both occa sions. To quote Mr. Barron. "They would have a lot of nerve to bring it up again." Salem Statesman: Approximately $7,000 was cleared by the Oregon state fair this year, after paying a debt of $1,000 left from last year, a"cording to an announcement made by W. Al Jones, secretary of the state fair board. The gross receipts at the fair were about $35,000, and of this amount $21,000 was taken in at the gates.

J. H. Whittemore and family ar rived this morning from San Diego in their automobile. They report a most enjoyable trip and arrived with San Diego air in all of the tires.

Mr. Whittemore reports that another San Diego man, Mr. Willis, who has traded southern California property for Ashland property, was packing up when he left and will ar rive in a few days to make his home in Ashland. Mr. Whittemore also tells us of another San Diego resi dent who intends moving to Ashland if conditions here are found suitable. "It's a joke when people say that there are serious difficulties in the way to the building of a harbor at Crescent City. The construction of a harbor for ships of commerce, and of refuge for ships of all kinds, pre sents only a single difficulty, and that is the getting of the appropria tion through congress." The speak er was one of the foremost engineers of the west, the man who built the Galveston sea wall and who knows just as much about harbor construc tion as he knows about railroad building. It was George W. Boschke, whose name is known wherever har bors and railroads are built. He re turned Wednesday from his first visit to Crescent City, and from remarks which he dropped on his return it is known that he is a firm believer In the possibilities for harbor construc tion there.

The Shortage of freight cars in the Willamette valley seems to have been done away with. Bis movements of lumber in Oregon coming simultane ously with the shipping of the fruit crop are blamed for the shortage. A number of Southern Pacific offi cials were in Ashland on an Inspec tion tour last Wednesday. Superin tendent Metcalf of the Shasta di vision met the party here and accom panied them on their journey over his division. Harry Sayles. who recently suf fered a broken collarbone in a comic opera Jitney accident, is back on the job, which In his case is that of offi cial seal grnbber and llawkshaw. Brick Moody, who held down Harry's job during the latter's enforced Idle ness, is now occupying the chair of another local employe. One of tho classiest trains of stock which has been cared for at the local yards passed through last week car rying part of the stock exhibit from the Salem fair to the exposition at San Francisco, where the blue-blooded animals will be entered In the livestock shows scheduled for this month. Twenty-five cars carried the cattle and their attendants. Recommendations that every state be urged to enact laws prohibiting liquor-drinking on railroad trains were made in a report of the com mittee on railway service and accom modations submitted at tho twenty seventh annual convention of the Na tional Association of Railway Com missioners, which opened Its sessions in San Francisco Tuesday, October 12. Thirty states were represented. A sequel to the train accident at Creswell on Sunday, April 25, 1915, when five persons were killed by the striking of an automobile in which they were riding by a locomotive of the Shasta limited train, is the filing of four suits for damages against the Southern Pacific Company on account of the deaths of the four children, George Robinett, aged 9 years; Beula Morss, aged 13 years; Doris Treanor, aged 6 years, and Vincent Treanor, aged 8 years. The fathers of the children are plaintiffs, and In each case seek $7,000 damages, or a total of 130,000. Engineer Bell of Smith, Emery & Co. and Harvey Ling, inspector for the springs commission, narrowly escaped injuries which might have been fatal when returning from Cen tral Point Saturday. Had they been traveling at a high rate of speed there probably would not have been enough of the pair left to tell the tale. Coming around one of the sharp curves this side of Central Point at a rate of about twenty miles an hour, they came up to a horse standing crosswise in the road. In turning out around the heavy car i skidded into a post and the tonneau was torn off. A broken axle also re sulted. The young men escaped un hurt and are thanking their lucky stars that they were not going faster. which the fruit trees encumber. Mr. Dyer says the farmers are beginning to get the fancy farming idea out of their heads and to go In for staples, alfalfa and grain and the forage that will sustain a dairy cow. These are the crops favored in the Klamath dis trict on the other side of the Cas cades, and that section is in much better condition than the valleys next east. Mr. Dyer and family expect to siend the coming winter at Ashland, where there are some notable mineral springs, an d.if that section does not suit them, will go to some other place next year. Mr. and Mrs. B. Beach returned yesterday from Klamath Falls, where they have been visiting their grand son, Earl Veghte. Bandon Recorder: Elbert Dyer, who has been here this week, reports that fruit from the Umpqua and Rogue River valleys is to be had In the region where grown at a very reasonable price. He sayjs that peaches can be purchased there at 2.') cents a box and they can be had for the picking if one has the ambi tion to go after them. The farmers of that country are feeding them to their pigs, and they do not make ex tra good pig feed at that. Not near as good us could be grown on the land Conqueror hats for men are truly conquerors of the $3 grades of hats. We have them in all colors. Mitcholl & Whittle. Mrs. W. S. Eastman returned home Sunday from a visit to her parents at Grenada, Cal. Her sister, Miss Rob erts, accompanied her homo and will visit in Ashland for a few weeks. Phone Job orders to th Tidings.
