Wanted at
Vancouver, Wash.

Frank Wiley was taken into GUS
tody in Ashland Tuesday evening
shortly after he arrived in Ashland,
on a charge of arson preferred by the
authorities at Vancouver, Wash. Two
heavy guns were taken off from him
and he was locked up to await the
arrival of the deputy sheriff from
Vancouver, who arrived last night
and returned with his prisoner on
No. IA Wednesday.
Wiley is charged, according to re-
ports, with setting fire to his house
and barn. 1t is also rumored that
Wiley, whose wife has relatives in
Ashland, had been compelled to leave
him and it was feared he intended
doing her an injury as he went to
the relatives with whom she was
thought to be stopping.
The Vancouver officer says that
Wiley is a bad man and treacherous.

Minor Matters
Are Considered

The council meeting Tuesday even
ing was charmingly informal. The
council chamber was in use for cleo
ton purposes and the city fathers
gathered in the office of City Record
er Gillette. With the members pic
turesquely grouped on chairs, office
stools, ETC., the meeting was called
to order and business rushed
through, in so far as was absolutely
necessary to be done that evening.
After short session the council ad-
journed to meet Wednesday evening.
On Wednesday evening the council
was called to order by Councilman
Cunningham, acting mayor, who pre-
sided in the absence of Mayor John
son, who was confined to his home
by illness.
The usual reports of officers were
read and placed on file.
H. B. Warren petitioned to have
certain lands outside the corporate
limits included therein, that he
might have water for irrigation. On
motion the petition was referred to
the fire and water committee.
The electric light committee re-
ported unfavorably upon request of
the East Side Parent-Teacher Circle

the East Side school. Superintendent
Butterfield stated that it would take
as much current as ten 16-candle
power lamps. The report was ap-
proved.
A bill of DR.. Fawcett for services

Girl Is Hit by Bicycle.

Beth Johnson, the little daughter
of Mayor Johnson, was quite serious
ly injured Monday evening by being
struck by bicycle ridden by a boy
whose name is not known. The lad
was following the all too common
practice of coasting rapidly down the
steep hill on Bush street. Beth was
on her way home from school and
started across the road just as he
came down the street. His wheel
struck her and he and the wheel
both fell on her. He picked her up
and carried her home and a doctor
was summoned, who dressed the
wounds on her face caused by contact
with the pavement. She is now get
ting along nicely.

springs into Ashland and the plac-
ing of this city on the map as sum-
mer resort was taken up briefly at
the Commercial Club Monday even
ing. Bert r. Greer, one of the busi-
ness men who have interested them
selves in the project, was called upon
by President Mccoy and went into
the matter in a general way. He
stated that the negotiations with the
owners of the various springs had
not as yet proceeded far enough to
permit the giving out of details of
the plan, but that everything prom
ised success. Mr.. Greer stated that
President Sproule had been shown the
springs and had gone over the situa-
ton carefully with the local men and
had assured them of the hearty CO.
operation of the railroad in the mat
ter of advertising the city as a resort
and getting the people here.
The local business men who have
gone into the project thoroughly are
very enthusiastic over it's possibili-
ties and are confident that it will be
put through and that it will make
Ashland a household name from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.

FUSION CANDIDATE FOR MAYOIs
SWEEPS NEW YORK CITY.
TREND IS TOWARD DEMOCRATS

States and in Others Lose Much OF
Strength of 1012-SOcialists Lose
Votes.

New York, Nov. 5.--Tammany suf-
fered a crushing defeat in yesterdays
elections. The organization was not
only engulfed in a plurality of 1911
2O9 votes with which the fusionists
elected John Purroy Mitchell mayor
of New York city, but in many up
state districts a severe rebuke was
administered to the Tammany democ-
racy that has been in control of the
state since the days of Governor
Hughes.
William Sulzer, deposed by Tam
many's exposure of the unlisted cam
paign contributions, was reelected
to public office. less than three
weeks having interviewed since he
was removed from the governors
chair. He will return to Albany in
January as a member of the assem-
bly,. Many of the Legislators who vot-
ed to impeach him met defeat, with
the result that he will sit in an anti
Tammany house.
In Massachusetts, while the demo-
Gratis elected their governor for a
second term, the election was signifi-
cant in that the progressive candi-
date for governor polled more votes
than did the republican. ri

COUNTY FOR
UNIVERSITY
JACKSON COUNTY STRONG FOR
APPROPRIATIONS.
some DETAILS OF The RESULTS
Jackson County Made Record That
the County Has Reason to BE
Proud of at the Referendum Elec-
ton Tuesday.

Jackson county's vote at the refer
endum election was the lightest on
record, less than 5000 votes being
polled-less than third of the vote.
Ashland voted the heaviest in proper
ton to its registration.
The university referendums were
sustained by a vote of nearly three
to one, carrying all precincts except
Eagle Point, South Jacksonville,
Rock Point, Sterling and Winner.
The sterilization bill is apparently
defeated by a narrow margin, though
delayed returns may change the re-
suit. The county attorneys act car
ried by a vote of two to one. The
compensation law got vote of three
to one.
Complete returns from all but
eleven small precincts at noon gave
the university 1922 to 716 and
1888 to 1928; the sterilization bill,
1880 for, 1881 against; the county
attorney act, 1000 for to S68
against; the compensation act, 1923
for to $50 against.
Northeast and southeast Medford
voted to shut cattle out of the lawns,
despite the wording of the ballot,
which read, "Shall livestock be per-
mitted to roam at larger" The vote
was: Northeast Medford, yes s, no
81; Northeast Medford, yes 20, no
1O4; total, yes %, no 155; majority
against, 1877.
Eagle Point voted to remain wet
by 6 votes, for prohibition 62. against
68. This was the hardest fought
election in the county. But few
women voted, and most of these vot-
ed wet.

Butterfield Is
Praying for Rain

Superintendent Butterfield is pray
ing for rain. If he does not get 1t
soon he predicts shortage of power
for the city light plant. Mr.. Butter
field appeared before the city council
at it's regular meeting Tuesday even
ing and asked authority to expend
$3.50 in enlarging the storage reser-
voirs at the power dams on the upper
forks of the creek. He stated that
the present peak load at the city
plant was 325 k. W. and that it would
probably reach $50 k. m. To pro-
duce this current demands a flow of
IA second feet, while the flow of the
creek at present varies from four to
six second feet. In order to furnish
this flow during the hours of peak
load will, according to Mr.. Butter
field, require p reservoir capacity OF
10000 cubic feet. The reservoirs
above the dam are not of this capac-
ity and Mr.. Butterfield requested au-
thority to spend not to exceed $50
in having the reservoir enlarged with
teams and scrapers. He stated that
he could not tell with any certainty
what it would cost to eXcavate as
there were roots and might be rocks
encountered. Should there come
heavy rain the dirt could be sluiced
out by diverting the channel of the
creek and loosening up the dirt with
shovels, but at present that was i'm
possible as one branch of the creek
would barely carry the day load, and
if both were emptied they would be
stalled the first night and could moi
run the plant.
The matter was referred to the
electric light committee.

COMMERCIAL CLUB REELECTED ITS OFFICERS
Meeting Monday Night Was One Of Best in Many Months and All
BetOkened Confidence in Future Of Ashland

The regular meeting of the Ash
land Commercial Club held Monday
evening was well, attended, about all
that, could be comfortably seated in
the room being present. After the
routine business was taken up the
semi-annual election was held. j. w.

Wolf vice-president, George W. Sea-
ger secretary and F, S. Engle treas
urer V. o. N. Smith was elected
trustee to succeed R. P. Campbell,

Watson was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of

signed not that he was not in heary
sympathy with the work of the club,
but that he might give all the time
which he could spare from his busi-
ness to the campaign for the REIN
statement of Ashland's normal
school.
There was the most interest mani
tested at the meeting of any of the
club in long time and all seemed
imbued with the belief that the fu-
ture of Ashland only depended upon
the unanimity and the heartiness
with which all got together and
boosted for the advancement of the
material wealth of the valley and for
the making of Ashland what nature
dtstined this city to be, the leading

mineral waters, which is exceeded by
no locality in the world and probably
equaled by but one.

Improvements
Are Discussed

A request from the fire and water
committee for instructions to secure
estimates upon the replacing the two
10-inch pipes over the Crowson hill
with one 24-inch pipe. at once
precipitated discussion of the water
and light problem in various phases
Councilman Beaver expressed his
conviction that the water pipes
should not be tapped for an auxiliary
light plant. If one was to be put
in a reservoir should be placed on
the Crowson hill and the tap for the
light plant be placed high enough
above the tap for the water pipes
so that it would insure a supply of
water sufficient to fight big fire
a supply of water which could not
be drawn upon for power purposes.
He declared that the fire protection
question was the vital one before the
people. today.
After considerable discussion the
committee was authorized to get the
necessary data.
A proposition from Thomas Pray
tor to sell his 240-acre tract up the
canyon to the city for $4,000 precipi-
tated a similar question, including
the effect of an auxiliary plant on
the water supply and the question of
whether or not the water of any por-
tion of the city could be polluted
through the lower intake. Council
man Ashcraft believed the purchase
an unnecessary expense, that the city
had authority over the premises and
could prevent pollution of water
Councilman Beaver held that the land
was outside the city limits and the
city could only acquire authority by
purchase or condemnation. The fire
I and water committee was finally Civ

DR.. c. e. Heard of Vancouver, b.
c., was here yesterday and gave a
public address under the auspices of
the |. B. S. A., on the subject of
"Christ's Second Coming. Why?
How? and When?" at Dreamland
Theatre.
The speaker admitted that his sub
ject was more or less unpopular on
account of the foolish theories some
times advanced. He claimed never
theess that the subject is an impor-
tant one for all Christian people to
consider carefully, and that viewed in
the sensible and reasonable light of
the Scriptures it is most interesting
and inspiring study.
Why?
Pastor Heard called attention to
the fact that our Savior had a two
fold purpose in coming to this earth:
first, to pay the penalty for Adams
sin mot eternal life in torture, but
DEATH and second, to liberate Adam
and his posterity from that death.
Man could not be liberated from
the curse until the ransom price had
been paid. THE wages of sin is
death" Jesus in His death upon the
cross took Adams place, thus paying
the penalty and buying the race. At
ter His resurrection to life again on
the third day, the resurrection of
Adam and his posterity could have
commenced Immediately, but God
had a further plan to be carried out
before the liberating work should be-
gin. Jesus, therefore, postponed the
second feature of His redemptive
work for future time, 1t will not
