Meeting Monday Night Considers the
Matter of Protecting 1t From
Pollution.

One of the important matters TAX
en- up at the Commercial Club Mon
day night was that of the protection
of the water supply of the city of
Ashland from pollution.
There were various schemes sug-
gested, from patroling the canyon to
the closing of the county road up the
creek.
Mr.. Briggs believed that it could
be done by extending the limits of
the city to the edge of the forest re-
serve and then making it part of the
city park system and preventing the
hauling of timber down from the
canyon. He believed that the prin-
cipal danger.
H. L. Whited stated that he had
been reading about the Chaldeans,
who 1000 years before Christ laid
everything to evil spirits and had
medicine me nto exercise them. We
had progressed only so far as to
change from evil spirits to germs,
and had our medicine men to exor-
else them. The Only trouble was a
case of fear. 1t was simply case
of "bugitis" He thought that the
Ashland water always had been pure
and wholesome and always would be
without resorting to drastic meas
ures.
A. M. Beaver declared against per-
mitting any teams to go up the
mountain. He believed that traffic
in the canyon should be restricted to
automobiles, sentiment which
aroused strong opposition and was
declared to be in the interests of the
rich, after which Mr.. Beaver was
forced to explain that he had no au-
tomobile and would have to hire one
if he went up.
1t was also suggested that the water
be piped from the upper to the lower
intake.
Mr.. Walker did not agree with
those who would stop cutting the
dead and down timber He believed
that it was better to cut it than to
let it accumulate and cause fires.
City Recorder Gillette stated that
the matter was under consideration
by the fire and water committee of
the city council and that they would
probably report Tuesday evening, and
the matter was dropped. .

Miss Krikonan, Turkish lady,
who was at one time associated with
Frances Willard, and who now has
a mission work among the Armeni-
ans in eastern Turkey, will speak at
the Nazarene church Thursday even
ing, January 23, at 1880 o'clock.
No doubt there are many who
would like to hear from this land of
war, and the triumphs of Christian
ity among her people, hence we are
glad to have the privilege of present
ing to the people of Ashland this es-
teemed lady of the far east.

Sanders Dairy Complying With the
Law i'm Every Respect and is
Perfectly Sanitary.

The board of health submitted a
special report to the city council on
Tuesday evening, which stated that
the Sanders or Telephone dairy had
complied with every requirement of
the board regarding sanitation, and
that the product of the dairy was
now pure and wholesome in every re-
spect. The board spoke in high
terms of the pTomptness and appar-
ent desire for safety with which the
dairy managers responded to every
request of the board of health. The
city is now furnishing the dairy with
water for culinary and dairy pur-
poses, and the infected well has been
filled. 1t is reported that the dairy
is also sinking a deep well on the
premises which will absolutely pre-
clude the possibility of any surface
contamination.

CITIZENS DISCUSS MINNEY FRANCHISE
COMMERCIAL CLUB AND CITIZENS EXPRESS VARYING OPINIONS ON
THE MLERURBAN QUESTION

There was a good sized crowd out
to consider the Minney franchise at
the Commercial Club Monday even
ing, and while there was apparently
a preponderating disposition, as one
man put it, Ito turn over the keys
of the city to the company" there
was strong opposition to some
points in the franchise.
President Briggs read the fran
chise as presented and prepared by
the Minney people, and stated that
he had been informed that it was an
exact duplicate of the Medford fran
chise, except as regards the Bear
creek bridge in that city.
Mr.. Briggs explained some points
of the charter and said that in his
opinion it was very fair and that the
provisions that the use of the streets
would be under the reasonable reg
ulations' of the council sufficiently
protected the city
Mr.. Staples and Mr.. Freeburg
spoke in favor of granting the fran
chise.
Mayor Johnson took the floor and
in forcible and well-chosen words
urged caution in safeguarding the
rights of the city. He stated that at
Garfield, Wash, and other towns in
that state franchises similar to the
one asked had been granted and re-
suited, not in street car lines which
benefited and built up the cities, but
in turning the streets of the city over
to freight traffic and damaging the
value of the property along the
streets which it occupied. He be-
lieved in electrical interurbans but
thought they should not be permitted
to usurp the streets.
Mr.. Johnson declared plainly and
/ reiterated his statement that he was
strongly in favor of the road but
believed the city should carefully
safeguard both its present and future
interests.
Mr.. w. A. Turner put in an EN-.
phatic protest against permitting ar
interurban to occupy North MAR
street, while another gentleman sait
he owned property on that stree
and would give $500 to have the

NeUado's Fortunate Orphans

The report Of the Superintendent Of
the State Orphans Home is in the hands $
OF the printer. and il shows that the nm :
fortunate children of the State are GER
tainly expensively II not well taken care
OF. For the pact two years the average
cost OF supporting and sending to school
these children has been 227 30 per
month. This includes the salaries of
the officers of the institution, and the
doctor. and the amount of money paid
to send them to the public school at
Carson. II this sum of mouey is econ.
omically spent in feeding. clothing, and
taking care of the unfortuuate children.
IL certaiuly looks like it pays to be an
orphan. for there are few working men
IN the State who could raise their fami.

anything like it, on each child ia the

for each child in his family? Few men

month. and this would not reach around

out for the adult mem bers of a family.

Raising State Revenues

Monday the higher license bill on
liquors passed the Assembly. The bill
is aimed to raise funds to carry on State
Governments. II was shown that by the
proposed change in the license law that
ihe State would benefit to about $780,
600 in revenue. The present State law
collecting $50 for a retail license and
$40 for a wholesale license brought into
the State Treasury approximately $780,
900, and under the raise. which simply
doubles the license fee, the State will
collect 5000, 900 from this one source.
The saloon men are providing more
revenue per capita than any other class
OF taxpayers in this State. They are
now insisting that the others be made
to come to the center. They cite the
fact that the biggest tax dodgers in this
State are the big land and cattle men.
In order to equalize the burden and raise
funds for State government the saloon
men argae. and justly. that the Legis-
lature get busy and adjust this taxation
where it belongs.
The argument OF the saloon men is
well founded and attention should be
given this matter. The raising Of the
State license went through without op-
position. 1t will be interesting to note
just how the new tax commission bill
will be treated when it comes in for a
hearing in the two Houses. Practically
all admit that this new law is necessity
and it is also admitted that considerable
opposition is to be expected on the
measure. The new bill is expected in
almost any day from the committee ap-
pointed by the two Houses to frame the
new tax law for Nevada.-Carson Ap-
peal.
