Electric Lines
Being Repaired

Manager Malone of the Ashland
Electric Power and Light Company
informs us that they are just putting
out an extra gang to go over the COM
pany's lines between here and Fall
Creek to put them in shape for the
winter. The company is making
great improvements at Fall Greek and
in Ward Canyon to increase the sup
ply of juice, on which unusual de-
mands have been made of late for
heating purposes in Ashland and else
where. At their plant in Ward Can
yon a new postoffice has been in
stalled since the Pokegama railroad
was torn up last spring. The new
postoffice is called Capco-the word
being made from the initial letters
of the company's title-Californi
Oregon Power Company. In regard
to the plant which they are installing
here we clip the following from the
Portland Journal:
AT Copco on the klamath River,
few miles south of the Oregon
boundary line, the California and
Oregon Power Company is installing
a million-dollar power plant from
which the towns of Southern Oregon
are to be supplied with electricity for
lighting and power purposes. The To-
cation is an ideal one. The river has
cut narrow passage through a rock
wall hundred or more feet high and
can be easily controlled. Above is a
small amphitheatre that will make a
splendid reservoir. 1t is estimated
that at this plant 106, 900 horsepower
will be developed at less cost than
any place in the United States and
possibly in the world, with the ex-
ception of Norway" a

Engineer Writes ~.

The following correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Harry Silver and Charles
G. Anthony. engineer for the Sara
toga, N. Y, State Reservation Com

people. 1t seems that this corre-
spondence continued during the
months of June, July and August.
1t was never brought to the atten-
ton of the Springs Commission until
published in the Record last week.
AS soon as the correspondence came
to the knowledge of the Springs
Commission it Immediately entered
into correspondence with Mr.. An
thony to get his advice in
forwarding the springs project
There is a remarkable agreement be-
tween the plans as laid down by Mr..

ing. Mr.. Anthony has investigated
the same European resorts the Ash
land commission has investigated
with much the same conclusions.

After washing the hair pat, but do
not rub, with warmed towels. Do
not rub the scalp with rough bath
towel. When working on the scalp
itself use the softest toweling at your
command and rub it very lightly. AS
soon as the bulk of the moisture has
been absorbed by the towel, seat
yourself in the sun and, gently shak-
ing the hair loose from the scalp for
the air to pass through, dry it by
ventilation and the suns warmth.
Just before it is perfectly dry begin
to brush and comb it, working from
the ends of the hair up to the scalp
| in disentangling it. Never comb
from the scalp outward and jerk the
comb through intervening snarls.
When entirely dry, and not until
then, give it final brushing with
brilliantine. Drop the brilliantine, a
( few drops at time, into the palm OF
your hand and rub the clean brush in
this. Then apply brush to hair
This prevents the rough look which
dry hair always has after shampoo

QUESTI0N:-Is Il advisable TO

ANSWER These waters should
be piped to the city, and they can be
so piped that the waters do not de
teriorate, that the gas contents are
conserved and that chemical analy
sis at the city would show the sam'
results as an analysis at the spring

Road Matters
Are Investigated

The recent grand jury took cogni-
zance of the work thus far done on
the Pacific Highway and reported as
follows: I'VE have investigated SO
far as is practical at this time the
expenditures for a permanent Pacific
Highway through the county, and
find that the work now contemplated
an expenditure of $342, 900, will COM
plete the road from Central Point to
the. Farnham hill, near Ashland, and
will cover the total expense OF grad
ing the new route over the Siskiyou
mountains. This will leave available
sufficient sum to complete the
hard surface route to Gold Hill out
of the present bond issue. While
these figures are merely approximate,
the general total will not be greatly
varied, as shown by the engineer S
report. The county authorities are
endeavoring to have the hard surfac-
ing over the Siskiyou mountains TAX
en- care of by the state, the same con-
stituting a gateway to Oregon, and
should, as we view the matter, be
completed by the state, Jackson coun-
ty having now done her fair portion
of the work" The grand jury was

Prof Hardy :': s.t II L 4 /, ,
Will Return

Prof Hardy, who formerly con-
Quoted the local branch of the Oak
land Polytechnic School SO satisfac-
torily here and thereby won many
friends in Ashland, writes from Pull
man Washington that he will leave
there next Sunday evening to come to
Ashland and look over the situation
with view to the re-opening of the
school.
Prof. Hardy intimates that he
would gladly reopen the school and
push the work if he should find that
he could do so with justice to himself
and the school and the Ashland public
generally. He states that so far as
the commercial work in the high
school is concerned it does not inter-
fere in the nature of competition. He
says if the Polytechnic cannot run
because of the commercial work in
the public schools 1t certainly is en-
titled to die
He thinks the fact that the public
school is carrying the commercial
places it in class where it would not
compete with school which the av-
erage young person would wish to
attend in order to be prepared for
work in shorter time. He does not
criticise the school for putting in a
commercial course-stating that it
was natural for that to be done-but
merely gives it as his opinion that
such course does not reach the class
of students who would attend the
Polytechnic and that it would there
fore not necessarily interfere with the
operations of the Polytechnic. Ash
land people will be glad to have Prof.
Hardy and his family back in the city.

June 3, 1914.
Ashland Lithia Springs Company,
Ashland, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
Your letter of May %, addressed
to the New York State Reservation
Commission has been referred to me
for consideration. You have not
given me enough information to tell
you how to proceed with your pro-
posed construction. 1t is a big sub
ject and it is doubtful if ! can tell
you in a letter exactly how to pro-
ceed, however, l will call your at
tention to a few things that / must
know to answer your letter intelli-
gently and ] will also list few
things that must be done, regard
less of what your answer to my in
quiries may be. / would like to know
the following:
First-Are your springs artesian
wells, or do they flow by hydros-
tatic pressure alone, or do they con-
tain coz?
Second--What is the depth of your
wells and what is the depth of your
ground water level below the nat
ural surface?
Third-What is the size of the
bore and how are the wells cased or
tubed?
In proceeding with this work you
should pay particular attention to the
following facts. Judging from the
chemical analysis of your water you
must have special tubing in your
wells. You must have especially de
signed pumps for pumping the wat
er. That is to say, the pumps mus
be so designed that they will lift th'
water without friction or withou
churning the waters, which woult
change their naturalization. Woodel
pipes would be used for your waite
mains and the pressure should b.
carefully regulated at all points alon
the line, the pressure varying per
haps from Is lbs. per So. in. to 4
lbs. per 50. in, the pressure de
pending upon the gas content of tn
water, providing, of course, the wat
er does contain coz. 1t is hard I
tell you just what to do from thi
distance but | wish to insist ths
:he naturalization of your water
changes the whole proposition frol
our ordinary method of conveyin
water as practiced in our standaT
city water supplies, and any installi
tion that you put in according to oil
present water supply methods wou
be a failure. The character of yol
water leads me to believe that Il
proper way to exploit 1t would be
the erection of bath house in co
nection with your drink cures. Th
again calls for special apparatus
the water should not be heated al
stored, as is usually the practice, b
arrangements must be made to he
the waters in the tubs Just nome
before the bath Is given. II you
sire to serve the water warm I
special drink cures, the water shou
lie heated just at the moment 1t
drawn into the drinking cup, whi
again calls for special apparatus.
would suggest that you use wood
castings in your wells, copper pi
in your wells for tubing and copr
pipe in your bath house and dri
halls wherever they are to be erect'
using wooden pipe only for yo
longer transmission lines.
This letter will convince you Il
you must proceed cautiously W
anything you do or your initial lal
will be entirely wasted and your
vestment lost. will be glad to
into the thing a little deeper vi

have asked for.
