Improvement at Ashland. .

Ashland, Or, Jan. 26.-- The storm
and flood situation has greatly i'm
proved in Southern Oregon the past "a
hours. The temperature fell late last
night and the rains abated in the
valleys, while in the mountains what
precipitation there was came in the
form of snow. Streams Immediately
began to fall, and they have been grad
ually receding from their food stage
during the day, so that little further
damage is expected to result from high
water in this section. In this county
much damage has been suffered by
county roads and bridges.

value OF silver has forced the Philippine
government to lower the official rate.
The new ratio is s2.61 silver for 81
gold, the lowest official rate ever de
elared. Itrepresents heavy loss to
the insular treasury, and the CONNER
ciai houses fear that further declines
will result in commercial disturbances; (;

disagree On the currency question have
had a disquieting effect here.

ligh,fnl in summer. The Great
Salt Lake, with its magnificent
Saltair resort, where the wafer is
"Gealer and denser" than that in
the Dead Sea in Palestine, is an
att, action in itself that people
come miles to see. There are
many cool mountain and lake re-
sorts near by, alsa numerous very
pretty canon and park drives. and
hot sulphur springs Fishing and
hunting can be had in every di-
rection. The trip from Denver to
Salt Lake Oily and Ogden, via the
Denver and Rio Grande and the
Rio Grande Western. is one of un
surpassed pleasure. Here nature
is found in her sternest mood and
the whole line is Il succession OF
rugged canons, waterfalls and pic
luresque valleys. No European
trip can compare with it in grand

Telephone for Baca.

Eighteen months ago we sub
mitted the question OF telephone
connection with Lamar to our
readers. The Colorado Telephone
company was at that time consid.
ering the matter, but, practically
no interest was manifested then
and the cost considerable, the
question was dropped. They
wrote; "Wlenever we extend our
great long distance system we
must use such wire and such con
struction that the people at the
end can talk to the remotest sec
ton OF our system with ease.
Iron wire makes this impossible.
and we have 10 use large copper
wire and also have Il metallic cir
cult, that is two wires parallel with
each other on the pole instead oil
the old way of one wire. AS a
consequence of using copper wire
we would have to have short spans.
as copper will not stand long
strain, and have Michigan or Ore
gon cedar poles set deeply in the
ground. The time is past when
building n teleghone line merely
means setting in cheap poles and
using fight iron wire such as the
Prairie Catlle company and other
cattle companies used TO Use"
A month ago we received an
offer from the same enterprising
company to give Springfield such
connection if they would secure,
haul and set suitable red cedar
poles in a telephone line 10 Lamar
MS it could be done at little ex-
pense. The poles could be Sc
cured in the cedars not more than
forty miles distant. Perhaps the
county could be Interested. sit
would take eighteen such poles TO
each mile, the proposition of
siriDging wire on them would be
an easy matter and the people OF
Springfield can take the matter
in hand, get the county interested.
AS well as the various ranchm en-.
and build the line themselves we
meeting them at Lamar and Civ
ing them n connection not only to
Lamar hut to all.-pnints in the
state at our regular toll charges. !"
Tho fee for each communication
with Lamar would not exceed fl
ty cents and perhaps be as low AS
twenty five cents.
We trust that our citizens will
discuss the matter freely and give
lis some opinion, either favorable
or unfavorable.
