PAGE SIX AgHliAND TIDINGS Monday,' October 18, 1015 Live News Notes From Oregon Building at the Exposition Oregon Building, P. P. I. E., Octo ber 16. Horticulture Week at the exposition opens on the 2 1st with the Palace of Horticulture the scene of violent activity on that date in particular. Five bands will be there, the Hawaiian singers and dancers, Spanish singers and dancers, and at night everybody will dance through the aisles of the palace. This will be n day of gifts, no less than 100,0(10 packages of flower and vegetable needs being offered to visitors. Twen ty thousand potted ferns will be there for the ladies, aud 50,000 dahlias will be distributed. Besides this, apples, prunes, cider and fruit of other kinds will be given away. The fall flower show will be on during Horticulture AVeek and it is expected that this will prove one of the exponition's most successful periods. Chief of horticulture for Oregon C. N. Itavlin, has been dressing the Oregon booth and has made a splen did showing with the fruit sent from different sections of the state. While Oregon will show an insignificant quantity of the apples, peaches, pears grapes, etc., offered by some other states that are putting tremendous euniB of money Into their displays, the Oregon exhibit will be one of which Oregonians will have no reason to feel ashamed. For Instance, take the grapes. This fruit has come but from two places in Oregon thus far, and not In great quantity, but the Oregon booth has a beautiful display, amply large enough to convince any one that the state does grow grapes end just as acceptable grapes as other regions more famed for this fruit. From a ten-box display sent by A. H. Carson & Son of Grants Pass, fifty or sixty fine bunches of Tokays and Malagas have been hung in portiere effect beneath the big gold-lettered "Rogue River Valley" sign, and the effect is stunning. The red and white bunches alternating offer contrast, and the lighting in the Horticulture building filters into the Oregon booth In such a way that, this display of grapes is a most artistic and attract ive feature. The Grants Pass grapes are beautiful in their perfect color ing, and In the display of 10,000 boxes on Grape Day here, last Satur day, there were few bunches finer than those now hanging in the Ore gon booth, and none were put up more attractively than those In the boxes. Under the Hood River Blgn hangs The Dalles contribution of To kays, labeled as coming from J. J. Fleck. They, also, are beauties, but of lesser quantity. Grants Pass has also just sent In pome wonderfully beautiful peaches from the Fort Vanoy orchards, but not more love'y than those now on display from A. N. Wright at Med ford, and this display as a whole will please anybody. Hood River Winter Rannnn apples are prettier than anything of the kind on the grounds, and there are good looking apple from different sections of the state. The showing of pears is fully up to standard, most of these coming from Auhland and Medford. A shipment of IVnjous from Hood Hirer Is tho only one rivaling the southern Oregon fruit. Coos Bay Gravensteins that came In some time ago are holding up In great shape and it is believed will be in excellent shape for the Horticulture Week. These apples occupy a whole corner of the booth In the Horticulture Pal ace and make a most attractive dis play. The Willamette valley fruit display la confined largely to a twenty-box showing of several varieties of apples at the Oregon building, these coming largely from Messrs. Beebe and Olsen at Eugene. Spitzenburgs, Kings, Northern Spy, Newtownc, Snows aud Wolf Riven are in the lot, also some very acceptable pears. Eastern Oregon's fruit display Is also confined to the Oregon building. J. A. Lackey is Just now completing a new arrangement of bis booth and is showing some beautiful Winesaps, Jonathans, Roman Beauties, Del a ware Reds and Ortleys, and he also has some peaches and pears, the dis play being very pleasing. Most of this fruit came from Malheur within the paBt few days. Union county has Bonio Wolf River apples In the lot, and Baker county Borne of the same kind and some Northwest Greenings. Taking it as a whole, the Oregon showing of fruit is good to look upon and elicits much favorable comment. During Horticulture Week the Ore gon booth at the Palace of Horticul ture will be in special dress and will have the added advantage of possess ing that big orange ribbon which pro claims the Oregon horticultural ex hibit to be the best In the eyes of the official judges. Drawing to Close. As the end of the exposition draws sear, there aro many expressions of regret that a thing of such beauty which cost so much money should be permitted to perish, and there are many who express the hope that the management may continue it for a time longer after the day set for final dissolution. However, It Is given out authoritatively that December 4 will end the fair and that In ninety days practically everything will be removed from the site of the exposition. It is a matter of contract with the gov ernment that all buildings erected on government ground, as many of them are, shall be removed Immedi ately at the close of the fair. It is now definitely determined that the Fine Arts Palace will be made perma nent, and that certain avenues will he maintained as a part of a great system of driveways San Francisco Is now completing, and the cost of main tainlng other struct Dies would prob ably be too great to permit their con tinuance. It must be remembered that practically everything on the grounds, with the exception of the Oregon building, Indiana building and Pennsylvania building, is con structed of the artificial travertine, a mere mixture of plaster, and that the heavy rains of the winter season would almost wash the buildings away. Many of them are now, be ginning to show signs of wear, and it would take little to make them un presentable. Just what will be done with the Oregon building is still a matter of conjecture. Except for Its foundation, tho Oregon building is a solid structure, but the foundation of anything is usually quite Impor tant. There are but fifty-three days of the exposition left, so the story will soon be told. Beautiful as the exposition Is, It will have to perish like all the others, but its beauties will have left an lndolible Impress upon the minds of thousands of visit ors.

The first real rally of the Ashland high school kind was pulled off Wed nesday morning in the assembly. It began with the singing of the ever popular "Loyalty" and came to a climax In a grand serpentine around the assembly room. More enthusi asm was displayed than has been for a long time. Leith Abbott led a few yells, not new but never old, which Ross Eliason and Miss Maple Payne, both alumni, were married at the bride's home Tuesday after noon. They left immediately for Sundial, Canada, which they will make their home.

Most of the pupils were very sorry that Columbus was not honored by a whole holiday, so Professor Moore, being In a very lenient mood, let out school two periods early. Report has It that the Medford high school is organizing a band. If we love the people of Medford let ub hope that it Is not so. Ashland tried to do the same thing a few years ago and the result was a bass, an alto horn and a bass drum. They nlaved Marian Stratton and Stella Stahlman presented themselves at the home of Miss Gertrude Barber on Granite street. The cause for this Invasion was a dinner party given by the "bunch" in honor of Stella Stahlman, who will soon leave Ashland.

Applegate Horses Win at State Fail Grants Pass Courier: George L. Swisher, who has been away during the fall season with his string of race horses on the northwestern circuit, returned this morning, having closed the season at the state fair at Salem. His horses will arrive a little later and will be wintered at the Swisher ranch on the Applegate. Coos Bay, Swisher's entry In the $2,000 stake race at Salem, divided second and third moneys, pulling down a good purse after showing great quality in a game race. Coos Bay is a three- year-old. Hallle B. and Grace N., Swisher's other racers, gave good ac count of themselves on the northwest circuit, getting first or second in nearly every race entered. Mr. Swisher Is enthusiastic over the con duct of tho state fair this season, stating that under the able direction of Secretary Al Jones it was the "best ever."

Farmers of Oregon are coming to realize that Insurance for their work men against accident is desirable, therefore the State Industrial Acci dent Commission has established a rate for different lines of farming time lost by paying him a portion of his wages, not less than $30 per month. Under no circumstances can he sue the employer for damages on account of injuries sustained, as the money paid by the commission is full compensation under the law for the Notice.

This information is becoming widely disseminated and has caused a number of unfortunate instances in the commission office during the past few weeks. In a number of cases men have been in jured on the farm and the employer has then made application to come under the act and Bent in remittances to cover his premiums with the hope mat by bo doing tne injured man would be cared for by the state. This, of course, is important, as will be realized by all readers. It is similar to insuring a building after the same has been burned down and then ex pect to collect insurance on the build ing. Similarly a great many applica tions have come In from farm hands who have been Injured, for benefits under the act, they thinking that as long as they have not rejected the act they are entiled to its benefits However, no protection can be ex tended to workmen unless acceptance by application of the employer. The rate fixed for farming opera Hons is: General farming, including all operations incident thereto, 2 per cent of the payroll. Threshing, clover hulling, hay and straw baling, 4 per cent; prune drying, 1 per cent; wood cutting, 3 per cent; land clearing without blasting, 3 per cent; with blasting, 5 per cent; road work, 3 per cent. In addition to the above the em ployer is required to collect from the workmen and remit with his own contribution 1 cent a day from each workman. In computing the amount due tne commission add $15 per month for board when the men are boarded. For instance, a farm hand is paid $40 per month and board and works 26 days, his wages would be $55 per month. The premium would be 2 per cent of $55, or $1.10, plus 26 cents to be contributed by the workmen, making a total amount to be remitted to the commission of $1.36 for the month. This Is due and payable on or before the 15th of the month following that In which the work is performed. Those farmers desiring to secure the protection of this act may do so by making application to the com mission for application blanks and a copy of the law. The protection afforded to both employer and workman is absolute. Eagle Meat Market Popular Inspect our market, and your confidence will be behind the pleasure of eating our meats.

Under Oregon's present liability laws it has become comparatively easy for In jured workmen to secure damages against employers by bringing suit. .. Lastly, state compensation Is Insur ance conducted by the state without profit, and the state appropriates suf ficient sums of money to more than pay all the expenses of operation, so that every dollar collected from em ployers and workmen alike is paid back directly to injured workmen in first aid and for time lost. Numbers of farmers and a great many manu facturers in times past have afforded themselves liability Insurance from insurance companies and in such cases the amount received by the workmen Is questionable as more than half of it is used by the com pany in expenses and profit and a considerable portion of that remain ing Is dissipated by the injured work man in lawyer's fees and court costs in suing for his rights.
