Ashland, Ore., Monday, Jan. 22, 1017 NEW HOMESTEAD LAW. The salient features of the 640 acre grazing homestead law recently passed, and which Is receiving much attention from many Ashlanders, are as follows: Land enterable must first be des ignated by the secretary of the in terior as chiefly valuable for grazing and raising forage crops;, must not contain merchantable timber, and be susceptible of irrigation; of such character that 640 acres are reason ably required for support of a fam ily. On application being filed the land applied for shall not be disposed of. No right is acquired to occupy land by reason of an application until des ignation. A former entry of same character Is no bar to entry within radius of twenty miles from the former entry, provided both entries do not exceed 640 acres; but the entryman must enter contiguous land before he can take non-contiguous. Instead of cultivation under the homestead law, permanent improve ments are required of not less than $1.25 an acre; one-half of said im provements must be made within three years after entry. Entrymen on an existing entry be fore submitting final proof may enter contiguous land where both entries do not exceed 640 acres, the residence on the original being accredited on both; but Improvements must be made on the additional entry equal to $1.25 for each acre. Persons alio have submitted final proof of patentees who own and re side on an original entry may take contiguous land, both entries not ex ceeding 640 acres, the expenditure to be made on the additional entry. Where no contiguous lands or lands within the twenty-mile limit are available, the entryman or patentee residing on and owning an original entry unincumbered may relinquish or reconvey to the United States the original entry and In lieu thereof enter 640 acres within the same land district. , Commutation will not apply to theco homestcadB. An entryman or patentee has a preference right for ninety days after designation to enter contiguous land. Where lands arn contiguous to ands of two or more entrymen or paten tees the secretary may take an equit able division among applicants In tracts of not less than forty acres, but provided where but one such tract may adjoin tho first applicant Is to have preference. . All entries are subject to reserva tion for coal or mineral. Lands with vater needed for the public are not $x be designated. The secretary is to withdraw lands needed for rights of way to watering places, shipping points and summer and winter ranges, not to exceed one mile in width on a driveway less than than twenty and thirty-five miles in length, and not over five miles for a driveway over thirty-five miles in length. Sheep and goats are to be moved on the driveways not less than three miles a day; cattle and horses are be moved not less than six miles a day. THE TRl'TH OF I1KLGIAX RELIEF, (Editorial from New York Evening Post, Dec. 21, 1916.) No one can read the account of the condition of the Belgian people, and especially the Belgian children, given in today's Times by George Barr Ba ker, of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, without having his heart wrung over so pitiful, so appalling, a spectacle. But wiinging of the heart is not, In itself, of any avail. What ought to be brought home to the American people what is brought home to them in such a statement as that of Mr. Baker, if people will but stop to think is that it is easily In our power to rescue these helpless and Innocent i lctims from the worst of their distress, and that we are not doing it. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from tho Great Lakes to the Gulf, this nation 1 lias sympathized with Belgium, has admired her heroic sacrifice, has been filled with Indig nation at the cruel wrong to which she has been subjected has done everything, In short, ercept give her material help in a measure anywhere near what; Is required to meet her direct needs, or anywhere near what it is our plain duty to give. Whether it be $8,000,000 that has been sub scribed In America, as Mr. Baker says, or $10,000,000, as has been stat ed by others, the amount Is paltry. It Is unworthy of our position of pre eminent, wealth, our abounding pros perity, our high professions of hu manity; It makes a shabby showing when compared with that of other countries laboring under the tremen dous stress of war. Surely there there must be some way of bringing together those who feel the impera tive need of giving much and giving quickly, and organizing an energetic canvass for the raising of at least what Is necessary to save the children of Belgium from tho extreme of hun ger and the wasting diseases that are its Inevitable consequence. THE AUTOMOBILE PIONEERS. There was an interesting event at the National Automobile Show at New York recently, when 400 motor manufacturers and designers were present. Never before, the dispatch says, have so many of the pioneer makers of automobiles got together The occasion was a tremendous con trast from tho days when these orig inators of tho automobile were first trying to market their product. The automobile business; Is now one of untold wealth and vast possi bllitles. Great fortunes and great corporate Industries have been built up. Fifteen years ago, many present day millionaires were unknown men, struggling with great mechanical dif ficulties and pressing financial prob lems. Many of them succumbed to the situation and went into bank ruptcy or broke down physically. They bad in their heads the germ of a great Idea. But It was tremen dously expensive to work it out. In many a littlo dirty workshop these pioneers were wrestling with refrac tory motors, trying to make the blamedhings work. For every diffi culty removed some fresh problem took Its place. The now automobiles went chug ging around the country, scaring the horses, while farmers' families rushed to the door to see the new wonder. In every town you can now find Bome man who boasts of being the first to own an automobile In that locality. He can tell you a comical story of his experiences. He would get stranded on some out of the way road, while the country people gathered around and laughed at his predicament. All the wiseacres wore positive that the thing would never be practical. The development of the automobile In the past fifteen years Is one of the most wonderful chapters of human progress. Ono wuld like to have been present at that dinner in New York and seen the men who have put through this great proposition. What a story of human persistence and in genuity they could tell- In this Issue of tho Tidings com mences a series of articles on choos ing an occupation. The articles were written especially for the young la dies by Miss Alice Brady, noted screen star. Almost any man can convince a woman that ho really and truly loves her, but he has to work overtime to keep her convinced. Red tape continues to be the most costly of all known commodities. Heard and Overheard (By Lynn D. Mowat.) A Jitney Episode. One coat sleeve was tucked Into his pocket, And his back was twisted, But he rolled a cigarette With one hand And stalled When you spoke to him, And answered: "Just to Ashland, And then to Hornbrook, And then to Montague, And so on, Begging From town to town, Until I get to San Francisco, Which Is home And where they will care Forne at the hospital." And he told of an accident With a mowing machine In Australia, And how he beat his way By ship to Seattle 1 1 1 And from town to town.

Mgr, MHWMMtltWWWMtHHIIIIIIMHMIIIIIIIMttlMIIMWMHMMIH A Tubloid Romance. (As told to us by a despondent can opener.) HER father's occupation was bossing ,at a bank, And every day's vocation was being just plain crank. HIS father's' means of living was sol dering tin cans From Christmar to Thanksgiving, among the also rans. They met in soft September at Beach burg by the sea, And neither can remember just how It came to be, That ere she knew his lineage and 'fore he know her wealth, They'd progressed to the "mine" age, and often met by stealth. Nor came the grand old show-down until they got hooked up Then her dad danced a hoedown and called tho boy a pup, And got a brain congestion and shuf fled off the earth, His will, without a question, leaving them all he was worth. They tried to get HIS father to leave tho tin can mill, And live without a bother in a great house on tho hill. The old man had the habit. In the house ho could not stay. Ho is back at melting babbitt at a dollar ten per day. Moral There really Isn't any. P. S. We added the last verse in order to disposo of all the characters introduced into the romance. The poem would make just as much sense without it. But if we had not added it, the world would never have known what became of the old man and his soldering iron. A Legislator's Dream.

Borrows Cash for Theatre and Skips A Grants Pass dispatch says Grants Pass' dream of a motion pic ture theatre de luxe was rudely shat tered Monday when persons who sought wages from W. J. Graham, the supposed Impresario, found that Graham had depaited without notify ing any one, and his big scheme had departed with him. It Is estimated he got $1,500 from local persons who deposited tho money as "guarantees" on the promise of Graham that he would give them positions. Graham came to Grants Pass ten days ago. He told of plans he had made for a theatre with a $12,000 pipe organ, a splendid drop curtain painted by a noted artist, and other features. He got money in advance from merchants who were to get ad vertising space on his curtain, and more money from persons who sought jobs in answer to his adver tisements. Though the trains were watched when tho townfolk became suspicious, he got away. Saving to you on the deal $1.30 Your shoe money snent for GOOD Shoes will last longer. Briggs&Elmore 11 East Main Street UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY, Time Is the test of truth. And Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test In Ashland. No Ashland resident who suffers backache or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice-told testimony. S. F. Long, 364 Helman street, Ashland, says: '"I used In all two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and can say they gave me good relief from backache and kidney and bladder trouble. I recommend them with pleasure." The above statement was given on March 11, 1913, and on March 15, 1916, Mr. Long said: "My former recommendation for Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good. I know they are a medicine of merit and can't be equaled for backache and kidney trouble. Whenever I have occasion to take a kidney remedy, Doan's Kid ney Pills never fall to give satisfac tion." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Long has twice publicly recom mended. Foster-Mllburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
