WORK WILL OCCUPY SIX WEEKS
Miss johnson, an Expert Library
Worker, in Charge of Task Which
win Take About Six Weeks to

consisting Of Miss Hicks, the libra
rian, Miss Burdic, the assistant libra

| found and used.
Miss Hicks states that the use OF
the library has fallen off during the
summer months, especially as to
adults, and that since school COM
menced many of the pupils are turn
ing their cards in saying they will
have little time to use them during
the school year.
The library recently added a good.
ly number of books, mostly for the
young readers and the old readers
with young hearts. The following
is the list of the last installment re-
ceived:
Barrie-Peter and Wendy.
Blaisdell--Tommy Tinker's Book
Champlin and Lucas-Young
Folks Cyclopedia of Natural His
tory.

Jordan Given Thirty Days.

Frank Jordan was given thirty
days by the city fathers Tuesday
night. Not thirty days in the lock-
up, but thirty days more in which
to complete the job of the bridge
over Ashland creek on Mill street
The unusually heavy rainfall in June
and July kept the water in the creek
at high stage SO long that it was
practically impossible to commence
work on the bridge any earlier than
Mr.. Jordan did.

Former AShlander
Tells Of ShiipWreck

Mrs. l.. NJ. Nickerson, daughter of
Mrs. Mary NJ. Shepherd of n Pine
street, arrived in Ashland Sunday
Mrs. Nickerson, who was one of the
ones who were saved when the ill
fated steamer State of California
went down in Gambler bay, Alaska,
on the morning of August IT, Mrs.
Nickerson had only boarded the
steamer about ten minutes before
she struck on an uncharted rock in
the bay. Gambler bay is one of the
newly developed ports of Alaska, this
being the second season that the can
merry, which is the sole reason for the
existence of the place, has been run
ming. Mr.. Nickerson is a bookkeep-
er for the cannery company and Mrs.
Nickerson accompanied him to Gam
bier bay last fall. She had boarded
the vessel to take the trip to Skag-
way and thence to Seattle, her hus-
band intending to join her later.
Mrs. Nickerson says that old sea-
men say that the sinking of the ves-
sci within three minutes of the time
it struck is unprecedented, and that
the entire bottom must have been
torn out of the ship. 1t refused to
obey its helm almost Immediately af-
ter 1t struck and waterlogged at
once.
The women who were lost were
nearly if not all those who tarried
i'll their staterooms to attempt to
secure valuables. Mrs. Nickerson
was taken into the lifeboat, but that
was upset and she went down almost
Immediately after the vessel sank.
She never lost consciousness, and
though she had never known any
thing about swimming seemed in
stinctively to know how to swim.
She was badly bruised by being
struck while in the surf by floating
wreckage, and lost about $500 worth
of clothes, curios, jewelry, etc. She
feels, however, that she got out very
fortunately at that.
Mrs. Nickerson, formerly Miss
Shepherd, was for many years a resi-
dent of this county and taught sew
eral years in the schools on the
Klamath Falls Indian agency. She
has many friends in Ashland and vi
cinity who will rejoice at her escape.

present order was made by the board

know something about certain of the
happenings in the management of
sleepers.
Rates will not figure in this in
quiry, but otherwise the investiga-
ton will be a broad one. Among
the things which the commission de-
sires to know are these:
To what extent the Pullman Com
pany depends on the tips given by
passengers to porters as a means of
paying the porters living wage?
Why it is that the upper berths
are pulled down when not occupied? +?
Why it is that passengers are fire.
quently told that there are no low

climbing down the ladder out of an
upper berth frequently are con-
fronted with long line of lowers
that are not occupied and have not
been?
Why it is that berths are so fire.
quently sold more than once?
What rules govern the porters in
making the berths at night and why
it is that a passenger cannot get
them made when wanted?
This is only the beginningNof the
investigation that will be undertake
en-. Every rule, regulation and prac-
tice of the company is to be turned
over and officers of the company

The Edison Talking Pictures.

The seemingly impossible has at
last been mplished-moving pic
lures that talk and laugh and sing.
Thomas A. Edison, the wizard, has
at last made this possible and these
wonderful Talking Pictures will be
seen at the Dreamland September
%. Mr.. Edison does not claim that
his pictures are the first talking pic
lures, but he does claim that they
are the first and only practical and
genuine Talking Pictures perfected
and presented to the public.
The Edison Talking Pictures are
genuine, that is, the film and record
are taken simultaneously, and every
'soGnd- and every action is faithfully
reproduced.
