One Fare Round
Trip to Rosebrg

The railroad has agreed to give a
rate of one fare for the round trip
to the Roseburg booster meeting to
be held Thursday, December 4. An
attempt was made to secure a lower
rate, but the railway officials call at
tention to the fact that the Southern
Pacific is the only railroad which has
ever made a rate in Oregon as low
as one fare for the round trip, and
they assert that to set a precedent
of making a lower rate would be
starting something which it would
be impossible to see the finish Of
Even this concession makes the rate
one which many will take advantage
Of, as it will give them daylight
ride through the beautiful Cow
Creek canyon, as we'll as chance to
see the beautiful city on the Umpqua.
Without doubt there will be a large
sale of tickets.

WANTS WATER FOUNTAINS
CITY EXECUTIVE URGES THAT AT LEAST SIX DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Be ERECTED ON STREETS BY The CITY

Mayor Johnson, at the city council
Tuesday evening, brought up the
matter of the establishment of public
drinking fountains. He said that for
city which advertised its water as
loudly as Ashland it is a disgrace to
think and have to say that but for
the generosity and public spirit of
the Carter estate and the Citizens
Banking and Trust Company there
would not be a place in the business
section of the city where a person
could get a drink of water without
begging it. He called attention to
the number of cases where people
ask business houses if there is place
where they can get a drink of water,
and drew a vivid picture of the con-

The Southern Pacific Company en-
phasized it's part in the celebration
of Oregon Apple Day by the use of
special Apple Day menus on its din

choice of various dishes made from
the fruit. among them French pan
cakes with Oregon apple sauce, ba-
con with fried apples, compete of
Oregon apples. Oregon apples and
celery, apple dumpling with hard or
brandy sauce, Oregon apple pie and
fresh Oregon apple sauce.
The orchard scenes are views from
the Rogue River Valley and Medford,
the former showing the trees in bios
som-time and the latter a busy period
in the picking season.

One Is Killed
Another Injured

w. ]. McAllister, brakeman, lost
his life at Dimick, just beyond Mer-
lin, Monday night. Mr.. McAllister
was trying to swing onto an engine
when he fell and went under it and
was instantly killed. He resided in
Roseburg, but was running into Ash
land and was we'll known in railroad
circles here.
The same evening w. E. Turner,
also brakeman on the north end,
lost a leg and was otherwise badly
injured near Leland while on an ex-
ira freight. He was either running
along the top of the train or hang
ing on the steps at the time, but is
himself unable to remember exactly
how the accident occurred. 1t is said
that a grab iron is broken from one
Of the cars at about the point in the
train where he was injured and that
may have caused his fall. Another
report is that he was closing the ven-
tilators on the cars and accidentally
fell between a couple. He was TAX
en- to the hospital at Grants Pass.

Fastest Work
Ever Seen There

Marshfield Record: The F.. E.
Conway Company is smashing to
smithereens the home-building rec
ord for Coos Bay in the residence
they are building for j. s. Lyons at
Eleventh and Flanagan avenue. The
carpenters for Mr.. Conway started
the 70x31-foot bungalow from the
concrete foundation last Monday and
on Saturday night the structure was
up, the roof completed, the wiring
was done, and a goodly portion of
the plumbing installed. Mr.. Conway
said this morning he would have the
home ready to turn over to the own
er within 80 days after its commence
ment. The residence is one of the
latest improved southern California
style of bungalows with seven large
rooms, including living room with
large fireplace and built-in seats, a
den with every convenience, book
shelves in several of the rooms and
a bath and concrete basement. The
home will have a heating system
throughout. The Conway Company
secured this contract in competitive
bidding with all the leading con-
tractors about the county and this is
the last home the company will con-
struct on Coos Bay until next spring.
All the available help is concentrated
on the Lyons home to expedite the
building and the owner will have the
residence by the 18th of December
The edifice is in the fashionable part
of Marshfield, surrounded by num-
ber of other magnificent homes OF
professional business and retired
Marshfield citizens.

PERMIT TO BUILD A FINE THEATRE is GRANTED
City Council Gives A. D. Helms Permission 10 Erect Brick and
Concrete Building on LOt Next to Freeburg Building

1t begins to look as if Ashland
would soon have an up-to-date NOV
ing picture threatre building. F. F..
FStch, the architect, appeared before
the city council Tuesday evening in
behalf Of A. D. Helms, the we'll
known orchard owner and capitalist,
and asked permission to erect brick
and concrete building in the space
now occupied by the billboard oppo-
site the city hall. This lot, which
was recently purchased of George
Stephenson, is AZ feet wide in front
and about "A in the rear. The build
ing will be approximately 80 feet
deep, thus extending 16 feet farther
back than the Freeberg building and
3S feet farther back than the Butler
building, now occupied by the Postal
Telegraph. This will give ample ex-
its as required by the public build
ing laws. There will be five exits,
enc in the rear, one on each side to-
ward the rear end of the building,
aud two in front. The front 80 feet,
or approximately that portion, will be
two stories high, the rest one story.
TIE floor will be dropped SO that
the stage will be about on a level
with the sidewalk line.
The sketch of the front elevation
presented to the council by Mr.. Fitch
was pleasing and will be of cement
finish, making it an ornament to
that part of Main street.
1t Is understood that work will
commence at once as Mr.. Helms de-
sired immediate action by the coun-
Gil to that end. The permit was
granted, the building to conform to

and ROSECRANS TO Be PAID EXTRA
Water Superintendent and Trouble Man Allowed Additional Pay
for Fighting Fire During Working Hours

The bills of A. C. Strickland and
Fred Rosecrans, respectively trouble
man for the electric light department
and superintendent of the water de-
partment, for work as firemen at the
recent forest fire up the canyon
were allowed, all of the council vot-
ing aye except Councilman Beaver,
who voted no. These gentlemen were
named by Mayor Johnson as mem
bers of the volunteer fire department
some time ago and confirmed by the
council without objection They
were appointed, Mayor Johnson stat
ed, because of two reasons-first,
they have motorcycles always at
hand for their regular duties and
can get to fire quicker than any
other members except those at the
fire house when the alarm is turned
in; second, they are both well posted
on the position of hydrants and cleo
trio wires.
Mr.. Beaver objected to the pay
ment of the bill for the reason that
work at the recent fire was done at
the time when they were supposed to
be on regular duty and that they
were thus drawing double pay, 1t
was stated by Recorder Gillette and
others that the men in question were
often called out at night, the one, to
repair light trouble and the other to
repair water leaks, etc, and that as
they made no charge for this work
done out of hours they should be
paid for the work done at fires, even
If done within regular hours. Coun-
Gilman Ashcraft called attention to
the fact that the work was not only

dangerous but that it was hard on
clothes. He believed the men were
too valuable in both capacities to be
stingy with.
Mayor johnson called the attention
of the council to the fact that they
had recently been compelled to raise
the wages of one OF these men be-
cause q private corporation recog-
nized his value and that they would
lose both il they were small with
them.
Councilman Gowdy expressed be-
lief that the men should not be on
the fire department because they
were needed, Mr.. Rosecrans to look
after the gates so as to give proper
pressure and Mr.. Strickland to cut
necessary light wires. Mayor John
son maintained that it was of the
utmost Importance that they belong
to the department because of the fact
that they had motorcycles and could
get to fire quickly. Mr.. Rosecrans.
he stated, would always be in a posi-
tion to take another man with him to-
fire and could then go to look after
the gates if necessary. Mr.. Strick-
lands duties with the light depart
ment, he said, would usually take
him only few moments after reach
ing the fire, il cutting wires was nee
essary. and that he always had to be-
there and should be member of the
department.
After considerable discussion the
bills were allowed, Councilmen
Werth, Gowdy, Ashcraft and Gun
ningham voting aye, Councilman
Beaver voting no and Councilman
McNair absent.
