RATE COMPLAINT
FROM ASHLAND
The Ashland Tidings Sy Rail
Charges From Water Point
U Too High.
The following article regarding
freight rates in Southern Oregon,
taken from the Ashland Tidings, is
timely and to the point :
"The ioterior Oregon pnblio is
anxiously awaiting to see Just what
the effect of the new federal rate
regulation law is going to be in re
gard to railroad freight rates within
the state and their relative relation
to the Portland-San Francisco rate.
For years merchants in Ashland and
all other towns for ISO miles on either
side of it on the Southern Paoiflo line
have been paying two or three times
as muub for having their freight
hauled from either Portland or San
Franoisoo as merchants or others In
either of the latter cities have had to
pay for hauling the same kind of
freight all the way through from ter
minal to terminal. It now oosts Ah
land merchants mnch more to get
freight from San Franoisoo than
Eugene merchants, 2()0 miles farther
away from the bay oity, pay for the
longer haul, while Salem, 100 miles
still further away, is accorded a still
lower late than Eugene. Freight
that comes through all the way from
Boston, Mass., to Portlaud, Ore., 4000
miles more or less, for approximately
1 cents per pound, costs under exist
lug railroad rate condition in this
state 1'4' cents per pound additional
for the iMI-tnile haul from Portland
to Aslilund, or 10 times as much
proportionately. The 'water compe
tition' argument has justified those
and mauy himilnr apparent injustices
for many years and has kept the in
terior country fiom open relielliou
against such handicap, and we pre
sume it will still keep us In iiihnilH
siou if the new rate law fulls short of
expectations, or unless the Oregon
legislature should ilecidu to take the
bit in its teeth and enact a reasonable
state maximum freight liw that will
'do something' for the sections of the
state fur remote irom ' water conipo
tition' and blessed with one single
line of railway. If those alternative
fail we cau only pray that Jim Hill
or Oould hurry np their entrance iu
to Oregon in ths hope that we'll get
some good out of the mix-up some
where." Fine wedding

Joe Skeeters and J. Sowell have
about completed their contract for
baa ling logs for the Logan sawmill.
'Tis a luxury to see roses at their
best and strawberries ripening as
they do at this little mountain home.
Mrs. J. Skeeters and Mrs. Kitter
man spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.
Griffin. An uncommonly pleasant
time wag reported.
Mrs.F. Sowell and baby have gone
to Sisson, Cal., on a visit. Time is
too slow for Frank now, he is ex
pected to follow at any time.
Mr. and Mrs. D. Briggs have re
turned to their home from their placer
mine. The young folks treated them
to a pleasant party Saturday lut.
The evening was spent in dancing and
everything went merry as a marriage
bell.
Mrs. Morey's daughter, Mrs. Tanna
hill and two children are visiting
her. Some of the brothers and sis
ters she bad never met until now.
Alvin came home from Crescent City
and Anton from Klamath Falls, to
visit with her.
I September has treated os somewhat
unfriendly, with so much raid. Come
forth, ye sood old weather prophets
and tell us what the Winter will be;
yon need not mention yellow jackets,
as that old time prophesy was voted
out last Winter.
There is considerable sickness in
the valley Job. Beyferth and daughter
are very slowly progressing, after a
long and tedious time with typhoid
fever. R. Bice has pneumonia,
Schuyler Morey's infant is quite ill
with inflammation of the stomach
HAPPY.
If yon see anything unusual going
on at your neighbor's do not pat "two
and two" together and make a
scandal oat of it. More trouble is
caused by this kind of lightning cal
culator than is caused bv a town foil
of pickpockets and mad dogs. If you
have nothing more to do than peep
out of the window and watch your
neighbors, then buy a good strong
rope, sees a good strong, high limb
to a tree and bang yourself. Yon are
no good to yourself and a positive
detriment to the oommonity in which
yon live. Ex.

SOMETIMES IT DOES I
A Hearty Meal Should Never An
noy or Distress.
A hearty meal should give a sense
of gratification and comfort. It
should never annoy or distress. If
you have indigestion and discomfort1
after eating, it shows that your di
gestive orgtns are weakened aud they
cannot properly care for the food
which Ims beeu swallowed If you
cannot eat and digest with pleasure
aud comfort three good square, hearty ,
meals each day, you need to use
Mi-o-ua stomach tablets, ami yon
should go to Koleriuuiid for a box at
once. j
Mi-o-ua is as unlike t e ordinary
pepsin digestive tablet as the electric
light is more valuable than a tallow
dip. Miona cures indigestion or
stomach trouble by strenxthening snd
regulating the whole digestive svstem,
thus enabling the organs to take care
of the food you eat without any dis-
tress or discomfort.
Use Mi-o-ua for a few duvs aud the
nervousness, sleeplessness, geueral de
bilitv aud weakness, btckache, loss of
appetite, headache and other ills that
are caused by iudigestiou will be
banished aud you will fuel well all
