The jail is completed apparently
in all points, except that it now ap
pears the cement floor is too rough
for health and cleanliness, and the
floor within the jail should receive
a thin, smooth coat of cement, the
expense of which might be $4. We
recommend this be ordered by the
council in;the near future.
Respectfully submitted.

Annual Oregonian
Is Feature Number
Elks' Smoker Said
To Be Best Yet
Medford Elks to the number of 100
and a large proportion of the local
lodge members gathered at the Elks
Temple last Wednesday night and
enjoyed one of the best "stag" even
ings yet staged by the lodge. A box
ing match, wrestling match, minstrel
show by the Medford Elks, vaude
ville, eatc and many other varied
stunts passed the hours In a most
hilarious manner until after the
chimes had proclaimed the morning
to have arrived.
The committee in charge was com
posed of Messrs. I. E. Vlnlng, E. V.
Carter, A. L. Strickland, C. B. Wolf
and J. K. Choate.
The Tidings Is on sale at Potey'
Irug store, 17 East Main street.
The Portland Oregonlan's big an
nual number, published Saturday, is
one of the most artistically gotten up
and well arranged annuals which has
ever been published in Oregon. Jack
son county is given a prominent place
In the portion of the paper devoted
to counties, and the various Indus
tries of the valley given good prominence.
Ashland, "The Carlsbad of Amer
ica," is treated as one of the great
est of Oregon's tourist attractions in
the section devoted to the scenic
wonders and tourist attractions of
the state.
Ashland and Ashland's develop
ment along resort lines are recog
nized throughout the west. The big
dallies of Oregon are featuring Ash
land whenever Oregon's tourist possi
bilities are the subject. While Ash
land's scenic wonders, climate and
environment alone are sufficient to
attract a great deal of notice, it Is
the combination of these with the
llthla and other mineral waters and
the unique and expensive project of
mobilizing them which make Ashland
one of the big attractions of the state
and which have won for Ashland Its
constantly Increasing fame as the
"Carlsbad of America."
The Hornbrook Leader says:
While 16 has been late several hours
most every day for a week, some oth
er passenger trains are on schedule
time. The reason is that when the
tide is flowing one way the big ferry
boat can't land in Port Costa slip,
and trains at that time come on via
Tracy and Stockton. Other trains
like 54 reach Port Costa when the
tide Is different and are promptly feT-
ried across the strait.
Strong Empress
Vaudeville Bill
The Empress vaudevi'le program
for Thursday night of this week
promises to be a winner. Tho Vinlng
five-piece orchestra will play, and
the show is guaranteed to run even
more Eirtoothly than last week's.
The headline act is LI1 Kerslake's
trained pigs, which the Portland pa
pers proclaim to be the mo3t Intel
lectual pigs In existence. The Btunts
which these pigs do are simply mar
velous. Martyn and Florence have a Jug
gling act which has finish and clever
ness which lifts it entirely out of the
ordinary rank. Their act includes
many new features which are not in
cluded in the repertoire of any other
jugglers.
Marie Dreams, a baritone singer,
has a voice which commands admir
ation and was given an ovation in
Portland.
The Hunters have a pretty musical
novelty and Walton and Brandt put
over a fine line of baseball slang.
Eddie Herron and Madge Douglass
offer a one-act comedy, "Birds of a
Feather," in which the adventures of
two high-class crooks is the central
plot.
All together the show should prove
to be a winner. Curtain at 8:15.
Prices 25, 35 and 50.

Lithia Spring
Value $75,000
One of the largest transfers of real
estate for some months past was re
corded at Jacksonville last week
when deeds from Harry Silver and
wife and James S. Bailey and wife
to The Pompadour Mineral Springs
Company were put on record. While
the deeds are for a nominal consider
ation, revenue stamps In the sum of
$79 fix the value of the holdings at
$79,000. The property consists of
the Pompadour Chief, and the Ash
land Lithia springs with adjacent
real estate, all being taken over by
the new company which has been
formed by Medford, Grants Pass and
Ashland people.
Messrs. Silver and Bailey long ago
recognized the Immense value of the
lithia springs and have done a great
deal of development upon their
spring which lies between the old
Gillette spring and the spring on the
Murphy place from which the water
is piped to the city.
Messrs. Bailey and Silver retain
an interest in the Pompadour com
pany, their holdings for the greater
part going in for stock.

Dry Law Hits the
Maraschino Cherry
Imagine a chocolate sundae with
out a maraschino cherry on top! In
all probability you will not be called
upon to imagine very hard, as a
cherryless sundae bids fair to become
a cold, hard fact. We have the Eu
gene Register as authority for the
statement that the maraschino cherry
must go. The Register says:
"Such Is the edict of the district
attorneys of the state. The canners
have' been told that the prepared
fruit Is under the ban, but that will
have no effect on the output of the
local cannery, as the cherries are
simply put up In brine in barrels and
sent elsewhere to be treated with
liquor.
"The maraschino cherry Is grown in
Oregon, put up at the canneries, sent
to California or to the east, and they
come back In small bottles, after hav
ing been put through an alcoholic
process which turns them a deep red.
They are then served at soda foun
tains and ice cream parlors on sun
daes. Few people have imagined
that they have been put through an
alcoholic process, and the interpre
ters of the law Bay they can not be
sold henceforth."
Despite all this, we have hopes that
some genius will discover a way to
pickle the cherries in salt brine or
do something to them so that we may
have the dainty red trimming on top
ot our ice cream mixtures. ,
Last Show At
Lyric Tonight
Tonight the Lyric Theatre will
close Its doors, temporarily at least,
and all of the music and picture lov
ers of Ashland who have appreciated
the class of music and productions
put on by Manager Lawrence should
attend to bid him farewell. The
theatre will be closed during the win-
ter months. Mr. Lawrence will go
from here to Grants Pass. Ashland
loses one of the best musicians and
live men who have ever lived here
when Mr. LaLwrence goes.
Tonight the full Lyric orchestra
will appear In a farewell concert.
The picture is "The Song of Hate,"
and the orchestra will play the entire
score of "La Tosca" to accompany
the great Nan sen production. The
Lyric six-piece orchestra is the best
organization of Its kind ever gotten
together In Ashland. A full house
should turn out to hear them in their
final appearance. Among the num
bers played, will be Chopin's Funeral
March, Auld Lang Syne and other fit
ting selections.
Pendleton will pave
streets with bitulithic.
