SHALE OPERATIONS V FOR CONVERSION TO OIL UNDER WAY H. W. Hartman, president, and w. A. Pettlgrew chief engineer of the Hartman Syndicate of the Pa cific coast, which has just opened offices here at 29 First street, In the Beaver block, have been making ex haustive examinations of shale de posits lying in the hills of the Rogue river valley. After three months of exploration work, they state that there Is vast wealth stored up at the very door of Ashland. This conclu sion Is based on the fact that after mopths of work opening up the de posits, by means of "open cuts." air immense tonnage Is uncovered of high grade rock. From tests made of this shale it runs high in oil and gas, and analysis of the oils prove it is of a very rich quality. The gas obtained from the shale, it Is expected, will be utilized for operating the plants, and the large surplus will be piped to towns In the valley, and will be at the dis posal of the people for domestic and Industrial purposes. Establishment of such an Industry would mean a great deal to this valley In creating a large payroll, stimulating trade generally, and undoubtedly would bring a number of new residents. During the last three weeks, Mr. Ruynning, state engineer, has had a survey party out locating a perma nent road into the holdings of the Hartman Syndicate, and Mr. Pettl grew states that as soon as the per mit Is granted for the construction of the road, clearing operations wil' be commenced, and a steam shovel will be put on the ground to do the necessary excavating and grading. Mr. Hartman Is leaving for Seat tie In the Immediate future to pur chase pipe for conveying the crude oil from the plants, which will be located about ten miles from Ash land, to the refinery to be erected near the railroad.

Wood and Railway Men Backing Loomis For Mayoralty Sundiy morning at 10 o'clock, at the Moose hall, all of the railway shopmen, who could be notified, were called to order for the purpose of forming a "Loomla-for-Mayor" club. U. F. Montgomery was unani mously elocted chairman, and W. E. Baldwin, secretary-treasurer. The program of the club was discussed for about two hours, and plans out lined for , a vigorous campaign. Everyone present expressed them selves in favor of Charley Loomls, as he is best known. He always has been a square, broad-minded busl iiesa man. He has the utmost re spect of everyone iu the community. Every child in the neighborhood worships him. He is not a man who Is easily Influenced. He Is progress ive; he has ability; he has courage. Surely a man who builds up a busi ness like his with Ms disadvantages, can manage tho affairs of a city like ours. The club started out with 32 members. Unlike most political clubs there Is no assessment or tee. All that is asked is moral support. That counts more than miney in the new political program we hope to help Install In our city. The club also endorsed the nomi nation of H. 0. Wolcott for coun cilman In the ward. He Is an ex railroad man now conducting a gro cery store at Fourth and B streets.

Felgh and Ru3sell Miller, the three strik- "'s soiunern rucmc employes who were arrested last week, charged with carrying concealed weapons, as announced In the Tidings, appeared in Justice Taylor's court at Medford last Friday, to answer to the charge preferred by one of the Southern Pacific strikebreakers, who answered to the name of Victor Q. Potter. Potter stated that the defendants had visited him at his camp near Jackson Hot Springs on AugUHl 2, and tried to lirduce him to quit "scabbing" on the men who were out on strike. He further stated that two of the dofendunts pulled revolvers from their hip pockets when lie, Potter, showed a belliger ent attitude toward B. F. Montgom-i ery, who had been acting as spokes man In trying to persuade him to quit his job. I The defendants, who took the! stand in their own defense, did not1 deny having made the trip to the! camp for the purpose of Intimidat ing Potter, but testified that not one! of them had a gun. They also re futed Potter's testimony that, when; action seemed apparent that he had gone to his own tent and secured his gun, by saying that no such action; had taken place, und that even Pot-; ter had no gun. Several nearby j campers, who were present when the argument took place, testified for' the defence. The plaintiff stated that he had' been prompted to take action he had by the advice of Trainmaster Mc Carty of the Southern Pacific. County Attorney Moore handled the case for the plaintiff, while At torney Farrell appeared for the de fendants. A similar charge had also been filed agu'nst W. J. Stephens, also a striking" shopman, but the complaint was thrown out when Stephens pro duced witnesses and proved an ablli.

WATER IX THE CITY MAINS RUNS LOW, RESULT DRY SPELL Much comment has been heard during the past ten days In regard to the water In the city mains, which has been white and aDDarentlv foamy. Some citizens have ventured the opinion that this whiteness and foam was the result of putting I chloride iu the water to purify it, while others have advauced various other opinions. Water Superintendent Hosier In a i statement today, explained that the whiteness and foam was caused by i a:r getting into me mains at tne in- take. Iu explaining the matter, he . atntnft ha lha main wlilth faata uie upper yun ui iu cuy, eians hi the Bmall pond at the power house, which is only about eight feet deep, and at this season of the year, the flnnr e9 l. rmf.ar la nr. nnfHMant tn i , , J . , , . keep the pond filled during irriga tion nours, mereoy allowing air 10 get Into the main along with the water. Despite the fact that there are a number of air valves along the system, a grent deal of air gets by them and passes Into the small dis tribute pipes with the water. When askel If this air Is meas ured through the meters, Mr. Hos ier said that there was not enough air to amount to anything, although It a faucet was allowed to remain open beyond a meter, and the pipe was filled with air Instead of water, the meter would measure the air the same as If It were water. When asked why the air was In 1 the water only when the upper part 3
