Storage of Car
Really Important
Winter Is coming! What are you
going to do with your car?
Every motoriBt should know that
unless he pays particular attention to
the way he stores his car or the man
ner in which he uses it during the
winter monttiB, he will Incur a large
repair expense bill.
The manufacturers of Diamond
tires wish to make a few recommend
ations to motorists, believing that If
they know how to properly take care
of the car and its equipment they will
pet better service and satisfaction
from the Diamond products which
they are UBlng.
Those motoriBts who do not drive
their cars during the winter months
should be very careful to store thej
car properly. The wheels should be
jacked up and blocks set under the
exlea to prevent the car from slip
ping. When jacked up the tires
thould be removed, washed carefully,
iind if the tread or side walls are cut
they should be repaired before stor
ing. The winter months offer an ex
cellent opportunity to the motorist to
pet his car in good shape for the com
ing season.
If the tires are In first-class condi
tion they should be wrapped in dark
paper, which will prevent light from
getting to them, and then stored
where there is no danger of freezing.
Keat, light and cold are all enemies
of rubber, and the motorist who does
not take this precaution with his tire
equipment will find that his tires
have deteriorated during the winter
months.
The car should be gone over care
fully and cleaned, grease taken out of
the gears, and they should be re
packed and special care taken to
drain the radiator. If this Is not done
there will be danger of freezing.
Leave the pet cocks under the radi
ator and engine open.
Another thing which you may not
remember to do Is to put up the top.
It It remains down during the entire
vlnter It will Bet In creases, and if It
is stretched tight It will keep In good
Ehape.
With the aid of these few sugges
tions you will be able to keep your
car in first-claBS shape through the
vlnter months, so that It will be in
good serviceable shape when warm
tprlng days dry up the roads and you
re ready to use your automobile
gain. A stitch in time now will save
iol!ars next spring.
Famous Portlander
Sends His Regards
The publicity department has
mailed a copy of the glass of water
booklet to the editor of nearly every
newspaper and periodical published
in Oregon. Among those to whom
looklets were sent was Philip S.
Pates, publisher of the Pacific North
west, a farm journal. Most every
one in Oregon knows "Mil" Bates,
for he has been actively Interested in
many movements for the develop
ment of the state. Good roads are
among his hobbies and he has done
as much as any one in Oregon to
stimulate public Interest in the
movement for better and more per
manent highways for the state.
"Phil"is famous for his personally
conducted tours of beautiful Oregon
girls over the United States. Every
year he takes a bunch of prize win
ners in his subscription contests
across the continent and gives them
the time of their lives visiting places
(f interest and meeting the presi
dent, governors of states and other
dignitaries in high office. Big east
ern dailies have given front page
space to pictures and Btorles of
"Phil" and his bunch of American
beauties from Oregon, and wherever
they go they get into the limelight
of publicity. These trips have given
Oregon much desirable 'advertising,
and, incidentally, the. Pacific North
west and its enterprising publisher
have come In for their share. Trust
Philip for that.
Mr. Bates Is a good judge of adver
tising and advertising methods,
therefore the following letter from
him was gratifying to the publicity
department: .
"Dear Sir: Some time ago I re
ceived your communication in refer
ence to the exploitation of your min
eral springs and your glass of water,
which was exceptionally refreshing.
"I have always been an admirer
of your methods. You get results
and Ashland Is to be complimented
upon securing your services, and
have already received sufficient fa
vorable publicity to warrant their
Tensioning you for life.
"I hope you have a nice turkey for
Thanksgiving and something beside
a lump of coal and a red apple in
your stocking, Christmas.
"Yours sincerely,
"THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST,
"By Philip Bates, Publisher."

Club banquet, C. M. Thbmaa of Tal
ent, one of the prime movers in the
securing of Irrigation fer the valley,
explained the district plan which wlfl
be used as a means for securing Irri
gation in the upper valley, and re
ported on progress made.
Briefly, the district plan -as ex
plained by Mr. Thomas is as follows:
Under a recently enacted law, when
a majority of the landowners in a
section which it is proposed to in
clude in a district, sign petitions ask
ing for the establishment of a district,
an election Is called at which all of
the landowners In the district vote
yes or no on the plan and elect a
board of directors. The board of di
rectors then obtain and prepare defi
nite statements of the water sources
ind costs of bringing the water to
the land, and another election is held
an the proposition finally accepted
cr rejected. These two elections give
the landowners two chances to reject
the plan. Then all owners of land
which Is timbered, hilly or in any way
unsuitable for irrigation, may appear
tefore the county court and the court
111 decide whether or not the land
shall be included in the district and
assessed for part of the cost of the
establishment , of the system or
thrown out wholly or In part. Thus
no land which will not be benefited
by .Irrigation is required to help pay
for the system. Finally, if the elec
tions both result favorably to the
plan, bonds are issued to cover the
cost of Installing the system and the
cost assessed in. taxes against the
land benefited. Mr. Thomas stated
that the only apparent drawback was
the fact that if water would benefit
a man's land he had to take it if the
majority willed whether he -wanted
to enjoy the benefits or not.
The district which Is being formed
In the south end of the valley has its
rorth line on the Phonlx ditch from
Bear creek almost to Ross Lane, ex
tends east of Bear creek to the hills,
and south of Ashland to Dunn's
ranch. All land already under irri
gation Is of course excepted from the
district. Approximately 20,000 acres
are Included In the proposed district.
Enough names have been secured and
the petitions will be filed this week,
according to Mr. Thomas.
This district Is extremely fortunate
in that the state engineer has been
secured to make a complete survey
of the water resources and possible
plans for Irrigation, and Is intact
already generally well along with the
most complete kind of a survey. i"No
possible source which has been sug
gested has been overlooked and the
landowners are assured of an abso
lutely unbiased and complete basis
for working out the system. In many
parts of Oregon the district plan has
failed because biased engineers were
employed, and the willingness of the
state engineers of the reclamation
service to make the valley survey not
only does away with a big expense
which might otherwise result, but as
sures the valley of paramount ac
curacy and reliability. Mr. Thomas
informed the Commercial Club that
the government report would be oom-
I leted about the first of March and
the election of directors would then
be held. o.
Mr. Thomas stated that the past
two dry years had convinced the
farmers of the imperative need of ir
rigation and practically all were en
thusiastically in favor of the plan.

High Compliment
Jackson Station
"I think you already have the best
collection of pear species and varie
ties in the world," writes Dr. David
Fairchild, of the United States Of
fice of Plant Introduction, to Dean
Cordley, director of the O. A. C. ex
periment station, after a visit at the
Jackson county experiment Btatlon
near Talent. "The station was in
teresting to me because it illustrates
what I have long maintained, that
the small field station is a peculiarly
efficient method of agricultural re
search. The directness of Mr. Reim
er's Investigation of the pear blight
question, and the large collection of
pyrus that he has brought together,
are both matters of special Interest."
A wandering pianist of extraordi
nary ability along ragtime lines was
in town last week and entertained a
big crowd In Grleve's confectionery
one evening, being assisted In a small
degree by local musical talent. This
musician Is a yearly visitor in A'sh
land and is en route from Portland to
the sunny south, where the pickings
are better in the winter time.

Johnny Finneran left Sunday be
fore last for the exposition. He
seemed to feel the necessity of re
turning in time for the game with
Medford, but at the time of this writ
ing he had not arrived. He said he
would argue it out with his father.
. ' Robert Keller returned from the
exposition last week.
Professor Ruch caaually informed
the biology class the other day that
from then on they would have to
take longer lessons. Of course this
was greeted with loud applause. The
last specimen which was used was
the starfish. One of the features of
the work was to draw the whole ani
mal. Some of the drawings were
really beautiful to behold. For in
stance, one Illustrious lad drew one
vhich looked like a Bide view of a
Ferris wheel made of structural
steel, the rim of which had been
knocked off.
Coach Hutchinson has been get
ting all the boys In high school who
are able to carry a suit out to scrim
mage with the huskies. He lines up
cne team and wears it out, then calls
ftor another. This is very exhilerat-
lng. The reporter had a try at it
last week, but someone sneaked up
behind him and knocked the wind
cut of him, which nearly spoiled his
evening.
The anniversary play is scheduled
for next Friday night. The members
of the cast are practicing night and
day. "The Rose o' Plymouth Town"
is. a very pretty little story of New
England life, and will no doubt be
worth attending.
The art class worked hard all last
week on posters for the Thanksgiv
ing game with Medford, and some
have been produced which would
rival even B. Klum's art shop. Some
cf these are real works of art and
vill be worth noticing as examples of
what some of the "kids" can do.
Glenny Hale, son of our janitor,
who was badly injured some time
ago by the explosion of a percussion
cap, Is much better now. His hand
was badly torn and for a while it
was thought that his arm would have
to be amputated, but now it is be
lieved It will be saved, although it
will be deformed.
The ckemlstry class was the cause
of some dire thoughts about the do
mestic science class Thursday morn
ing. The students thought that the
domestic science people were cooking
eggs secured at the ice plant, and
were getting ready to go up and cap
ture and confiscate those eggs when
someone discovered that the odor
came from the chemistry laboratory.
As they feared to encounter Profes
sor Ruch; this citadel was not at
tacked. The source of the smell was
the hydrosulphurlc acid with which
the class was working. In the course
cf the experiment some sulphur wa
ter was manufactured which would
cure a man of ail bis ills in a very
few minutes. The.' class could sup
ply the city with enough of It in a
few minutes to laBt them several
years.
There were three rallies during
the latter part of the week. A short
one was held Thursday noon in the
assembly as a sort of starter. Then'
in the evening a real yell rally was
held at the grounis. Friday even
ing Yell Leader Abbott gave the stu
dents lessons In th,e art of the "ser
pentine" and some really wonderful
progress was made. Every one Is a
"pastmaster" at the art now.
Don't take cold by putting It off
too long. Buy a good warm, all wool
suit of underwear at $2.50, $3 and
$3.50 at Mitchell & Whittle's.
