were npKiiuted to take the matter up
with the Southern Pacific. Like action
has been the rule for years past with
out results, but new efforts will as
sume a different phase and moral
suasion methods arc expected to ac
complish something with the railroad
company, which needs only to note
by contrast the station facilities
which Ashland disenjoys as compnrcd
with Medford, Grants Pass and other
'owns to the north where model struc
tures are the rule.
Saturduywitnesscd the pouring of
liquor" confiscations in the gutljjr by
the chief of police. The amount wns
very small and the odor from the
emptied bottles did not permente the
atmosphere outside of the Plaza dis
trict. Tom Delta, Redding Iiidian, whose
age is figured to be 100 years, has
taken up the white man's burden by
executing n will in approved legal
fashion, bequeathing $5000 worth of
realty allotments together with a
snug bank account, divided between n
niece by way of relationship nnd his'
housekeeper. Tom's signature to the
instrument was affixed in thumbprint-fashion.
His age has been ap
proximately determined by the rela
tion of notable events in the years
ngone, he well remembering the won
derful stnr shower of 1835. lie has
roamed all over northern California
and southern Oregon and hunted in
Ashland creek canyon before there
was a single settler in this town.
Some local motorists are being nc
cuscd of using a new device termed
the "blue mister," which creates a
minnture fog, temporarily blinding
people so that they cannot distin
guish a 1917 license plate from one
of the preceding year. Even n speed
cop might get the wrong number.
The Business Men's association will
meet in city hall in regular monthly
session Tuesday evening, March 13.
EAGLE POINf EAGLETS
By A. C. Howlett
G. C. Lamb, specialist In poultry
industry, of the O. A. C, Corvdllis,
came out last Saturday, the 3rd Inst.,
and delivered a lecture to a few of
our citizens who are Interested In
the poultry business. There were but
a few people In attendance, not over
ten or twelve, but he gave us a good
long lecture and the most of It was
quite Interesting, especially that part
In which he explained the beat meth
ods In caring for the hens after
they come to maturity, Tie explain
ed the different methods of housing
them and the necessity of giving
them the proper kinds ot food and
what kind was best for them to
cause them to produce the best re
sults In egg production. He dwelt
particularly on the kind and amount
of food best to have the hen lay and
Illustrated It by showing the number
of eggs produced under different
kinds ot food, showing that when
hens were fed principally on Whole
grain, such as corn and wheat, that it
took up an unnecessary amount of
energy for the hen to grind that
grain, whereas if the grain had been
run through a chopper that It would
not require more than one-half the
labor on the part ot the hens' diges
tive organs, the gizzard, and that
saved energy could be applied toward
egg production. There was quite a
number of questions asked Mr. Lamb
on the different phases of the subject
and his answers seemed to be very
satisfactory. He showed conclusively
that If the people who handle hens
would do so scientifically Instead of
In the slipshod way they are treated,
that they would reap dollars where
they now do not reap cents.

INDEPENDENT TIRE
SELLING PLAN
The C. E. (lutes automobile supply
house has "broken away from the old
system of selling tires. It Is tho cus
tom for dealers to tie up with olio
make of tire and to push It to tho
best of his ability, swearing by the
great horn spoon that ho had the
best tire in tho world.
'Bill" Gates says: , '
Every car owner knows that tiros
have off Bcasons and while' tires will
stand up In tip top shape one year
they will fall down the next.
'Knowing this the C. E. Gates com
pany has taken the position of an in
dependent in the tire field and are
handling from ten to twelve 'makes.
This involves carrying perhaps the
biggest stock 'of tires in the state,
but It enables this firm to very
frankly tell a customer which tire Is
poor and which tire is good.
'This may seem to be, a radical de
parture, but it Is the satisfaction of
the customer we are looking for and
we can sell him the best tiro In the
market and he can feel sure that ho
is going to get the best when he
comes to us. This plan has been in
effect about six months and It Is ap
parent that the car owners appreciate
it."
L. A. Pattison, founder of the
Central Point Herald, who loft the
valley-in 1912 to- try forming at
Castlo Rock, Washington, has reent
ered journalism, having purchased
the Heppener Herald at Heppner,
Oregon, the center ot the northern
central Oregon grain and livestock
belt. '
