The Lower Intake.


The question of further purifying
our water system by moving the low
er intake above the Prater property
has been raised by Mr.. E. d. Briggs.
am surprised that Mr.. Briggs gives
this scheme any serious considera-
tion from any standpoint whatever.
Looking at it from a business stand
point, the present lower intake cost
the city $4,000. This would be a
total and absolute loss if we follow
Mr.. Briggs. Then it would cost
81, 900 to extend the intake up the
creek, Then it would cost at least
$4,000 to build a new intake, max
ing a total cost, including loss, of
$4,000 to the city of Ashland We
would also still have the offensive
barnyard and outbuildings of the
Prater property staring us in the face
on the banks of our beautiful creek.
Will you not concede that the fol-
lowing is a much better, more busi-
nesslike and more satisfactory plan
from every conceivable standpoint? ?
Let us BUY the Prater property out
right and wipe out the SOURCE of
the contamination, if we wish to
take up the question at this time of
purifying our water system. | am
told that this property has been ad-
yertised for sale at $4,000. Let us
take this figure and then allow
1000 for cleaning it up and remov-
ing the buildings. The total will
then be $4,000 and the job will be
complete and final and not half fin
ished, at total cost of $4,000 and
not SIG, 200. There is absolutely no
reason why we should abandon our
efficient and expensive lower intake,
built of solid concrete and good for
all time to come.
AS a matter of fact, the proposed
plan to carry the overflow water
from the upper intake and power
house through the pipe of the high
level water system to the proposed
auxiliary plant at the lower intake
will actually tend to keep the water
pure because it will take it from the
creek at the upper power house and
keep it from flowing down the old
channel by the Prater property, and
will dump it pure from the mountains
directly into the lower intake
through the pipe line system. Lis
ten to those who have made a study
OF this and believe me that no ill
effects but great advantage will
come to our water system if you
vote yes for the bonds.
F. H. WALKER.

why VOTE FOR AUTO TRUCK
Continued from Page One }

a doubt that they will do the work.
These letters include communications
from Grants Pass, Astoria and Port
land. The Grants Pass chief writes
that they negotiated mud so deep
and sticky that ruts IA to 16 inches
in depth were measured the next day.
At Portland one auto truck was
bought last May and ten moIe aave
been put in within the last few
weeks. In the Portland test the ma
chine went up a 90 per cent grade at
a speed of Is miles an hour. The
city recently bought six more ma
chimes of the same kind, besides two
each of two other kinds to try them
out.
Any point III Asniand can be
reached by a road on a grade of 20
per cent or less. Thus it will be
seen that the machines are adequate.
Mr.. Dodge states that the manufac-
turers of the standard grades are
willing to put their machines out on
a thorough test They are willing
to leave them month or longer if
necessary.
Under these conditions it would
seem unlikely that any taxpayer,
much less a voter who is not tax
payer, would vote against the bonds
for the purchase of one, in view Of
the fact that the cities installing
them always secure better insurance
rates.

Ashland Women and the Liquor
Question

Question.
This year, for the first time, Ash
land women vote.
Men are saying they will prove by
the way they vote whether they are
as moral as men. A number of them
are unkind enough to say openly We
will vote the town wet" and quote
the 300" or that we are so selfish
that we will not cast the ballot.
So, women citizens, it remains to
us to prove the accusation false, for
very pride's sake if nothing else.
Why fight the saloon? Manufac
tories and canneries make business
not saloons. The money from sa-
looms goes into the pockets of the
saloonkeepers, that should go to the
business men. Grocers know this
and seldom sign petitions for saloon
licenses. GToceTs carry more ac-
counts than any other interest and
know that liquor makes bad bills,
Saloons make higher taxes. Take,
for instance, klamath Falls, with its
l mills tax. The revenue from their
saloons does not pay for the cost of
feeding 500 drunks per year nor for
the three extra police, nor for the
court cost of these drunks. So it is
in any town. The revenue from sa-
looms never is equal to its cost in
the community.
Last year thirty different brands
of whiskey and brandy sold in Port
land were analyXed by the pharma-
cist in the o. A. C. One only was
found that did not contain some
harmful ingredient. This contained
red pepper. The others had as ap-
petizers such things as cocaine, to-
bacco, strychnine and so on.
SO there is your average whiskey
and brandy. Harvey X. Wiley, pure
food inspector for years at Washing
ton, says we have scarcely a drink
that is not "doctored" to cause appe-
tite.
We are great sticklers on oleo-
margarine butter. We should be
more so on the saloon products. In
Germany all liquors are inspected,
and even then the emperor of Ger
many demands his navy to be alb
stainers, as drink makes men less
efficient.
So, then, as far as | can see, Ash
land men would be better off without
doped drinks.
Another argument against a sa-
loon in Ashland is its bad effect on
the youth of our town. The saloon
and it's two auxiliaries that are ever
on either side, Illicit gambling and
the red lights, should not be for our
sons.
Then, when | look in the faces of
some of the finest women in Ashland
and see the grif pictured there over
the possibilities of a saloon, how
can l be a true woman and true
sister and add to their sorrows?
Perhaps they came here with fami-
lies which they wished to take away
from the temptations of the saloon
which was already doing its evil
work. Perhaps those dear to them
were caught long years ago, here in
Ashland, against the wifes wish OF
mothers will, when the saloon gave
Ashland an evil name that carried
throughout the Pacific coast. Unless
: we are true to these women, we are
not true to ourselves.
Women cannot afford to lower
= their standard if they would keel
mems respect. And | believe, after
all, that the very men today who are
(coaXing the 900" to vote for liquor
would be the first to sneer at them
for stepping down from the plane OF
all that stands for morality
My vote is for no saloons. Is not
yours? WOMAN VOTER.
