CTTYFATHERSDISCUSSW
PROPOSITION BROACHD TO ERECT BIG DAM IN CANYON TO FORM
RESERVOIR FOR STORAGE OF WATER

At the special meeting of the city
council the members of the water
committee reported in favor of buy
ing 5000 feet Of pipe and necessary
fittings to put in place OF smaller
pipe on the south side OF the city.
After considerable discussion the mo-
tion to make the purchase was with
drawn, the majority Of the council
believing that IL was useless to en-
large the pipes until the supply of
water available was sufficient to fill
the present pipes.
This brought up the question, of
water supply, which was discussed at
length. The matter of a dam up the
canyon and a reservoir capable of
supplying tie city with water for
power and irrigation during the dry
season was taken up and given con-
siderable discussion. Mayor Johnson
expressed himself as heartily in fa-
vor of bonding the city for about

FOR CURRENCY REFORM
President Wilson'S Ideas to be Rep
resented in Bill to be Intro
duced Later.

Washington, April 2S.-There will
be a Wilson currency reform bill,
and it will represent the president s
views on what is needed to place the
monetary system on a solid basis.
President Wilson, his friends in both
houses of congress and financial eX-
perts already have agreed on the
general principles of the bill.
1t is certain that when the bill is
completed it will not carry any guar
antee of bank deposits. This was
developed at today's weekly confer
ence between the president and the
newspaper correspondents. The pres
ident thinks the bank guaranty Ques-
ton is broad enough to be consid-
cred Independently and he is deyot-
ing to study what the bill must in
clude to prevent the money trust
from increasing it's power and at the
same time to give the country banks
an opportunity to become more po-
tent factors. The president wants
public hearings held
The president indicated to the cor
respondents that he would retain an
open mind regarding Panama canal
tolls.
Japan's proposal to send repre-
sentative to Sacramento has not
reached the president, but Secretary
of State Bryan undoubtedly will
settle this matter himself.
President Wilson is watching Sac
ramento developments carefully and
expects Californians of sober judg-
ment to prevent any embarrassment
to the federal government. He
thinks much of the newspaper com.
ment represents the views of radicals
and does not reflect the real views
of majority of the legislators. The
administration is merely marking
time until Secretary Bryan reports
The president believes the Califor
mia legislators will be found willinf
to cooperate with Secretary Bryan
and does not expect any unpleasant
ness to result from his visit to Sacra
mento.
President Wilson's attitude on the
tariff is unchanged. He discredits
the suggestion that jokers are con,
cealed in the measure, and thinks II
represents the views of the majority
in congress.

there is not sudden halt called in
the attempt to legitimatize vice, the
youth of America are doomed.
AS a result largely of crime statis-
tics prove, said the speaker, that in
Berlin 81 per cent only Of that city
meet the requirements that make
them eligible to enter the army. In
England the children 10 years of
age, in the country, exceed those of
the city in height by more than
three inches and about IL pounds in
weight. In Edinburgh one-half Of
the children are found to have rick
cts, the result of unsanitary condi-
tions. The very things that have
deprecated the children of Europe
are now making great headway in
our own country. More than 2,000,-
600 young Americans are practically
down and out" because OF the sins
or their fathers or the carelessness
OF child labor laws, or allowing them
to use the cigarette, to get access to
morphine, or to enter the back doors
OF saloons. And taxpayers must sup
port this army of young incompe-
tents for years to come. To prevent
an Increase and thus lessen this in
cumbrance to our nation, we must
rear children with good blood, and
amidst good surroundings.
The giving of aims is not needed
SO much as intelligence to control
Il is menace. The great horde of in
creasing immigration makes it still
more important In fact, the stu
dents of sociology repeat that the
child born in heathendom has a bet
ter chance for right living than one
born in the slums. You may cherish
your child as you will, but if you do
not help to keep its environment de-
cent, yours will surely suffer.
The lecturer was given hearty
thanks. Mrs. Lester Poor added to
the occasion with charming solo.

HOSLEY IS BADLY HURT
Head Caught While Coupling Cars

Roy Hosley of this city was badly
injured about 5 o'clock Monday even

yards of the Southern Pacific rail-
way. He was down under the cars
fixing the hose and in some way his
head got caught between the bump

engine was started ahead, when he
dropped senseless to the ground He
was thought to be dead but came to
in about half an hour and was able
to sit up the next day. His ear and
the scalp behind the ears were badly
cut and he bled freely, but it is
thought that the skull suffered no
injury, though how he escaped in
stant death is wonder to all who
saw the accident.

EVANGELIST GRIM ON CHILDPROBLEM
ADDRESSED W. u AT E. CHURCH TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
GAVE POWERFUL ARGUMENTS FOR NEED OF CRIME PREVENTION

Evangelist Grim delivered a schol-
arly address on the necessary safe
guards that should be placed around
the child to an audience On Tuesday
composed of some of the most
thoughtful men and women in Ash
land. 1t was listened to with close
attention and applauded at the close.
This distinguished sojourner has
made child life study not only in
his own home but in the slums of
Chicago and other Arge cities.
He pictured, first, the prenatal
influences that should or should not
surround the child yet unborn. He
dwelt on heredity, of which, it is
said, we get one-half of our charac-
teristics from our parents and one
third from our grandparents, leav-
ing one-sixth or less OF dominant
traits to be really our own. Thus
are handed down the line the love of
intoxicants, the licentiousness of
forefathers or else their dominant
traits Of reverence, honesty and in
tegrity The mother, either real or
prospective, is entitled to be guarded
and protected from harmful influ-
ences, for she it is, that upbuilds the
commonwealth as no other factor
can do, nor any imported factor will
do.
The speaker dwelt on the dawning
of light when some of our congress
men at the capital of our country
" ere heard insisting that prevention
of crime was better a thousand fold
than attempting to deal with its re-
suits. One of the most potent fac
tors Of crime were the 250,0O0
licensed saloons in the United States
with an average attendance of
2,500,000 young men from 81 to 80
every evening. Another factor was
uncensored shows that catered to the
sensual and early sowed the seeds
of vice in the minds of the young
children. So it is no wonder that.
such a club as the millionaires' club
of Los Angeles be now under inves-
tigation for deliberately ensnaring
young girls yet in their teens. The
African jungle has only moved to our
western shores in new form If

City Fathers Get After the Water
Users.

The city fathers are baking at the
city parks and city schools being fur
nished with water free of charge.
They also believe that some users
are getting their city water for in
adequate prices, and at the meeting
Monday evening the water committee
was instructed to readjust rates. At
the same meeting the mayor was in
structed to secure one or two men to
check up the city and acreage and
see that no water was being used for
which the city was receiving no pay.

that specific performance of the orig

ernment's main contention for for

of the lower court.
A total of $4,000 acres of land
has been sold, some for as high as
$40 an acre.
In regard to the Union Trust Com
pany's intervention, for which j. M.
Gearin appeared today, the court
ruled that the trust company, own
ing $17,000,0O0 mortgage bonds on
the lands and property of the Oregon
& California system, acquired an in
terest with full notice of the condi-
tions attaching to the grant, and
could not interpose the plea of an
innocent purchaser.

ter supply. He had seen the big irri-
cation project dams in eastern Wash
ington and on the Snake river and
was confident that Ashland canyon
presented possibilities which far ex-
ceed that section. He believed that
the city should be amply supplied
with water for domestic uses, irriga-
tion and municipal power.
After considerable discussion the
matter was left without formal ac-
tion, but it is understood that the
city engineer will be instructed to
spend some time this summer investi-
eating the matter of site, cost, capac-
ity, etc.

Washington, April Exciting
debate and heated wrangles marked
the beginning today of the reading
of the democratic tariff bill in the
house for amendment. Progress in
perfecting the measure was slow but
talk was loud, and on one occasion
brought Speaker Clark on the floor
with a vigorous speech.
All day the republicans offered
amendments to the various passages
in the chemical schedule and every
amendment was calmly voted down
by the big democratic majority. Most
of the talk of the day was turned on
the records of the democratic side
of the house on the question of Gre
ating a tariff commission.
The republicans, led by Mann, be-
gan their attacks on the provisions
of the first schedule by declaring the
weakness in rates showed a need of
investigation by the tariff board.
