for, to say nothing of accepting, a
proposal to get power as cheap as it
could make ii itself, without any de-
probation, trouble or experiments to
detract. The city has by purchase,
ordinance or ousting got rid OF near
ly every plant which had a pay roll,
paid taxes or used power. We now
seem to be receiving notice from the
council that no enterprise or enter
prises shall be allowed in Ashland
that will ever need more power than
that furnished by Ashland creek; at
least that is the inference, because
if no other power company is to be

Church street, was commanded to
hold up his hands on B street Sun
day night at about nine O'Clock in
front of the Shaw place. Startled
by the thug Mitchell backed away.
Put 'em up or I'll shoot" came the
command second time as the thug
advanced to where the light glinted
on his extended weapon. "Go ahead
and shoot" said Mitchell and backed
still farther Mitchell held his left
hand before him and kept his right
at his side. The thug didn't know
whether to jump in and start things
or not. Before he decided what to
do Mitchell got to the corner and
beat the worlds record up First
street. He had a watch and some
money on him. Monday he was up

ably was a hanger-on OF the Ring

where she thought he could get the
check cashed. 1t being after bank
ing hours, she sent him to Rose
Brothers. They declined to cash the
check unless someone knowing the
man would vouch for his identity
He came back to the Burnette home
and Mrs. Burnette endorsed the
check The man has not been seen
since. The check was banked and
sent to Talent. The man gave his
name as Frank Stafford.

Whited on Custer Suit.

Editor Tidings: Your issue of the
25th instant contains the statement
that the city council have authorized
the mayor to begin suit to oust the
Ashland Electric Light and Power
Company.
To take up lawsuit at this time
with the expenses and troubles Incl
dent thereto when we are getting
along very nicely seems to me rather
ill-advised.
Conversation with a number of
heavy taxpayers proves that am not
alone in this belief, as l found
among fully twenty, only one person
who favored election of the company,
and he principally because the previ-
Gus owners had unduly advanced
rates.
There can be only one reason why
we should institute a suit, and that
is that it is to the interest of the
city of Ashland to be sole perveyor
of Juice" in the town regardless of
expense or methods of getting that
monopoly.
Whether or no it is good manners
to throw people out of town who
have invested here, let us see if it
will pay. To furnish the necessary
additional power, the city must of
necessity increase its plant, by going
in debt for an indefinite sum, under
the contrary advise of various ex-
perts.
AS to the indefinite sum, your at
tention is called to the original esti-
mate Of Engineer Halsey to build an
electric plant for $65,000. mo old
poles for us" We have plant fur
nishing lights for half the city, more
or less, invoiced at over S111.OOO,
which cost more, as part was charged
to the water system.
The people within a year refused
to issue more bonds to put in an
additional dynamo. Now the council
must expect that they will reverse
their ideas and vote perforce a larg-
er amount to double the old plant,
whether they would or no!
If bonds are not voted are we to
sit around in the dark until we get
tired of it and vote them?
am reliably informed that the
electric light company has several
times endeavored to sell their plant
to the city and has offered to furnish
and now stands ready to sell current
to the city as cheap as the city makes
it. If the city made such contract,
which would not require any high
priced attorneys, it would be able to
supply to citizens necessary current
at present prices, be ready for any
emergency, all without investing any
money, issuing any bonds or expert
menting in unknown regions. / am
sure that bond buyers would look
with little confidence on the bonds
of city that refused to even apply

IN BAD SNIASH-UP.
o. Winter Has Accident at Crater
Lake This Week.

o. Winter and party, consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Day, Mrs. Au-
gust Schuerman and Mrs. j. R. Bur-
nette. returned Wednesday morning
from Crater Lake. They met with
an accident up near the lake which
might we'll have been much more
serious. AS it was, Mr.. Winter came
off with badly bruised and sprained
wrist which will keep him out of his
car for several weeks to come. At
the last and steepest climb to the
rim of the lake Mr. Winter stopped
the car and his party got out to walk
the distance to the top, and apparent
ly he failed to set the brakes firmly
enough When he cranked the car to
go on it started to back down the
hill away from him. He ran and
tried to reset the brakes, but the car
gained headway and upset over an
embankment, throwing him into the
brush with great force, and turning
over on its side against a big tree.
A party of three Portland men saw
the accident and with their aid the
car was Strengthened up and found
to be but very little injured. The
Portland people were A. B. Cross. F.
G. Espenhain and ]. c. Morris. who
came down in an auto for a couple of
weeks fishing in the Rogue. They
very kindly extended their stay at
the lake in order that Mr.. Cross
could take Mr.. Winters place at the
wheel on the return trip to Ashland.
