Mail Tribune 100: April 24, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 24, 1916 HINMAN GIVEN COMMENDATION Medford's electrical inspector has earned more than an ordinary compliment for efficient work in his department in this city for the past year. The Journal of Electricity, Power and Gas, published at San Francisco, finds in his report material for more than a column of commendatory comment. Among other things, it says: "Laurin E. Hinman, electrical inspector for the city of Medford, Ore., in submitting the annual report of the work done by his department during 1915, has set a standard which might well be followed by others. F. D. Weber, electrical inspector for the Underwriters' Equitable Rating Bureau of Portland, characterizes this work as the most efficient electrical inspection in Oregon and a source of inspiration, as this is a city of about 10,000 inhabitants. "During the year 2365 inspections were made and 613 permits issued. This included 1301 inspections on new wiring in business buildings, 756 newly wired residences, 250 on old wiring in business buildings and 94 old wired residences." Mr. Hinman's report was then given in full, as published in this paper at the time the report was filed. ASHLAND AND VICNITY That three quart bottles in one's kit in Ashland are not worth one phial in Hornbrook, was exemplified in the case of a traveling salesman last Friday evening, who represents a Portland leather house. Train No. 54 was delayed here twenty minutes over its accustomed stop by the efforts of the conductor and two brakemen to remove the bibulous salesman from a day coach. Three bottles of whiskey were found in his grip, one more container than the law allows during the month of April. Locked up Friday night as a weekend guest of the police, he was turned adrift Saturday upon the payment of $25 fine for an infraction of the prohibition law, forgetting from a California point of view that "Beyond the Siskiyous lies Ashland." County Attorney Kelly of Medford was called upon to prosecute.
