resting and attempting to win once

trade, he acquired lead poisoning

the lead mines in Colorado. This
poisoning ultimately led to his
death.
Riggs was a staunch supporter
of the Methodist church and in-1
terested himself in the affairs of
the YMCA and Boy Scouts His
activities in the two latter have
endeared him to hundreds of now
small boys and to others who are
no longer small.
The funeral was held at the
Methodist church with large num
bers of friends present. Flowers
were in abundance, with beautiful
floral tributes coming from all
parts of southern Oregon. Rev. C.
E. Dunham of the First Baptist
church was in charge of the ser
vices, assisted by the Rev. M. T.
Wire, pastor of the Methodist
church.

tery.

Miner Had Brand
New Type Dress
Months Before—!
Imitation is the sincerest flat
tery, and this week the Miner
would like to indulge in a bit of
vanity while it points out the fact
that other journals in the same
field are “modernizing" their e-
quipment by adding features which
the Miner first brought to Ash
land.
Not only did the Southern Ore
gon Miner bring the first modern,
new headletter type face to this
city, but It still pioneers the field
in the newest type design (in
which the text of this newspaper
is set) which is the last word in
readability, legibility and causes
less eye-strain than any other type
face yet designed. It is the newest
creation of the Intertype corpor
ation. New advertisement borders
and other modern typographic I
features were introduced first to I
Ashland by the Miner.
The Miner also leads in another.
department of newspaperdom— I
printing. This little weekly is set
ting the pace for ALL southern
Oregon in the matter of clear, well
defined printing. No new type will
show to best advantage unless it
is made to print, after purchase.
