fire DESTROYS BARN
Morse Realty Company Loses Build
ing and Several Tons of Hay
No Clue to Cause.

Fire at o'clock this morning
completely destroyed the barn To-
Gated on the Morse Realty tract across
Bear creek from Talent. The barn
was well filled with hay, all of which
was completely destroyed. Ashland
citizens were awakened by the sound
of the fire alarm and few got out
to learn the location of the blaze
When discovered, however, it was
far beyond control and nothing
could be done to save the building
and contents. Cow sheds on the
premises were also completely wiped
out.
No clue to the manner in which
the fire started has been discovered.
but owners of the property conjec-
ture that wood rat may have been
responsible by the gnawing of
match that had been carelessly
thrown down. The blaze was plainly
visible for miles around.

GOLD HILLNQUANDARY
Situation in Municipal Government
Raises Question of Exact Status
of Mayor and Council.

Gold Hill is in a deuce of a fix.
The town of many troubles does not
know for a certainty whether it is
a town or not, doubts that it has a
charter, and thinks it is mayorless.
To straighten out the tangle it may
be necessary to go back to last No
vember and hold two elections over
again. Now the citizens are plan
ming action, and Mayor Kelsey was
in Medford Tuesday comforting with
attorneys on the merits and demerits
of the case.
Last November Gold Hill held an
election and voted a $4,000 bond
issue for municipal improvements,
including a water system. At the
time a "mossback" was burned in
effigy and a big celebration held.
Because that election was not held
according to the Oregon system, a
San Francisco firm refused to buy
the bonds, and the place is not what
it seems.
To further complicate things they
adopted a new charter in the spring
and added luXuries in the shape of
two new councilmen. Mayor Apple
gate resigned and DR.. r. c. Kelsey
was appointed in his place, and now
steps are under way to secure the
ousting of the present council, rein
state the old. and hold another char
ter and bond election, to make the
action acceptable to the bonding
house. Unless the bonds are sold
there will be little coin in the treas
ury and a hard winter is coming on.
Definite action in the adjustment
of the complications is being delayed
until the opinions of a number of at
torneys can be obtained.

LAND CASES TO BE FOUGHT.
Special Counsel Provided for by
BOard-Savage Tract Rejected.

Salem, Ore.-The state land board
has decided to secure special counsel
to assist Attorney General Crawford
in the appeal of the Corvallis & East
ern tideland cases, the selection of
the counsel being deferred by the
board.
The board also decided to reject
the purchase of the Savage tract of
land which was recently condemned
the board deciding that the purchase
price of $4,000 for the five and a
fraction of acres was too much. The
costs of the case have been turned
over to the superintendent of the
prison, the law providing that such
costs be paid by the institution which
is to be benefited. AS a result, it is
probable that Governor West will or
der the bill of $11.20 for automobile
hire to pay for the jury being taken
TO view the premises be refused.

GOVERNOR WILL HIKE.
Will Make March That Caused Re-
cent Militia Insubordination.

Salem, Ore.-During the investi-
cation of the suspended officers OF
the second battalion, third infantry,
Tuesday afternoon, Governor West
made the announcement that he will
don a khaki uniform, equip himself
in regulation army marching equip
ment of total weight of 40 pounds
and make the trip on foot from Gate,
Wash, to Oakville, Wash, and re-
turn. This is the hike on account of
which the suspended officers are al
legged to have disobeyed orders.
Governor West thus will be in a po-
sition to state his opinion on the
merits of the case of the officers.
Captain H. E. Williams, one of the
officers, will accompany him. The
hearing was not concluded until late
Tuesday night.

Eugene, Ore.-The sum of S125,-

He said to think right concerning God
and His gifts is to be thankful. God
merits our thanks. He created us. All
good gifts are from Him. The means
Of physical, mental and soul life are
from Him. He has made it possible
for us to attain unto eternal life.
Thanksgiving proclamations refer to
the bounties of nature as reasons for
gratitude to God, but ignore the richer
spiritual bounties, the gift of His Son
and His grace which has lifted US up
from ignorance and superstition and
made us children Of the light. The
Holy Spirit is still in the world to
lead us into all truth and to enable
us to gain the mastery over self and
the world, and to attain to our high
est destiny. We should not forget
God in these His best gifts. Gifts i'm
pose obligations on the receiver. Not
to feel this debases us. God should
have recognition in our lives and in
turn We should give to others.
