NUMBER 36
Bond Situation
Is Explained

The matter of the legality of the
auxiliary water bonds is now being
examined into by New York bond at
torneys, and the springs water COM
mission is furnishing them additional
data as requested. There appears to
be some doubt in the minds of the
attorneys as to the power of the city
to make the issue without charter
amendment granting the specific
power for this issue That matter is
now in course of adjudication and
when settled the public will be SO
notified through the press.
1t may be definitely stated, how
ever, that it will not be necessary to
re-vote the bonds. There may be-
need for either holding an election
to ratify the issue or have supreme
| court decision on the matter. IL
either proves necessary the commits
sion will ask the council to call an
election to adopt a charter amend
ment, ds that can be accomplished
much sooner than a confirmation
could be had from the supreme court
and at much less expense.

Gathered Data
About Dry Town

Orton E. Goodwin representing
The Committee of One Hundred
business men of Oregon who are aid
ing the campaign to abolish the man
ufacture and sale of liquor in Oregon
was in Ashland last week. His
visit here was to gather first hand
data concerning the growth and de-
velopment of Ashland and what rela-
tion the liquor traffic had in the mat
ter. The Committee of One Hun
dred are business men and my work
is to get the information concerning
conditions in all the dry towns and
publish them in the newspapers of
the state in a series of articles" -
says Mr.. Goodwin. "All this informa-
ton will thus be presented to the
people. The articles will not attack
any wet towns. The Committee OF
One Hundred are utterly opposed to
billingsgate and rank assertions and
believe that citizens want facts and
not high-sounding words"
Inquiry as to the campaign drew
from Mr. Goodwin the information
that the Anti-Saloon League did not
favor the expenditure of the money
required to have the matter appear
in all the legitimate newspapers In
Oregon. This committee knows the
value of business methods and knows
how to get results. They are adver'
tisers in their own business enter
prises and ridiculed the idea of ex
pecting newspapers to give free space
to a thorough presentation of theil
facts"

Football opens this season with a
real crowd-drawing game, that sched-
uled between the high school team
and the alumni. AS always. this is
considered to be one Of the closest
and hardest games of the year. This
season it will be specially so, as the
alumni have a powerful team, some
of the former stars like Perry and
Elmer Ashcraft, Fred Garrett, Ken
meth Cummings and others being on
the alumni squad. The high school
team is of all new material, except
Captain Spencer and one or two 9th
ers, and it remains to be seen how
they will come out. Let us hope that
II will be with colors flying and amid
the cheers of the rooters, but to do
this they will have to put up an aw-
full scramble.

Football Season Opens With
A CroWd-DraWing Feature

The game will take place at 2:45
Saturday afternoon, October 3, and
there will be large crowd to herald
the initial event of the football sea-
son. The price which is to be charged
is nothing as compared to the amount
of enjoyment the onlookers can ex-
perience, for this Is going to be a
real live game, for we have got high
schoolers versus highschoolers, and,
knowing them all to be fighters, pros
pective game-goers can see what a
treat in the line of sport they are
going to have. Let's start the season
off right and make the football game
paying proposition. Think of it!
A whole, big, live, shouting, cram
ming, jamming football game for the
small sum OF 25 cents. Be on hand.

Oakland Deputy
Here for Simpson

Deputy Sheriff B. Brown of Oak
land, Cal, arrived in Ashland Thurs
day. He came for the purpose of TAX
ing Lynn Simpson, the young man
who has knowledge of the murder
which occurred at Livermore on Aug
ust 4, back to the trial as a witness.
The murder, as will be recalled, was
that of an unidentified tramp, who
was found in the third story of tank
house in vineyard near Liyermore,
Cal, slashed and hacked with razor
so as to be unrecognizable.
For some time the authorities in
California have been working on the
case, and have had in custody an
Indian boy, s years of age, who was
suspected of the murder. Also they
have almost all of the members OF
the hobo gang which were in COM
pany with them
The story of certain townspeoDle
led to the detention of the Indian, for
| they said that he ran up into one
of the city streets crying for help,
saying there was man chasing him
who would knife him II he caught up.
Men Immediately started back on his
trail. but the pursuer had disap-
peared and so had the Indian during
the excitement. The body was found
by the men going back looking for
the pursuer.
Again remembering the published
account of the boys story to the ef-
feet that when Seattle Blackie" had
returned from Livermore, where he
had been to get supplies, he asked
where his partner, the boy that had
travelled in company with him and
| the Indian, was. The Indian had
bloody hands and Seattle Blackie"
instantly suspected that something
was wrong. II was at this point that
Simpsons story left off, for here, he
said, he and his pal, Frisco Blackie,' y
left fearing trouble.
The Indian was recognized at the
time by several of the bystanders as
being one of a notorious hobo gang,
but as there was no proof that he
did the killing, they could not detain
him. However, some of the forego-
ing facts were more fully developed
and followed up and his preliminary
hearing was called for last Tuesday.

Normal Gathering
Was Great Success

The normal gathering last Friday
afternoon was a great success from
start to finish, one of the largest
crowds ever before gathered together
in Ashland attending, For one hour
about thirty autos piled back and
forth between town and the grounds
carrying passengers. 1t was estimat-
ed that about three thousand people |
assembled. All the schools dis |
missed, and there was a throng of |
children present to liven up the
merry scene
Professor Mulkey. former profess
sor of the normal school, gave a
glowing speech about the benefits of
the normal work and the Importance
of having different schools in differ
ent parts of the state. His talk met
with the approval and applause of
the crowd.
During the course of the afternoon
wrestling matches were held, many
of which were not planned for in the
beginning, the school boys taking it
upon themselves to furnish this part
of the entertainment. Some of the
school girls and boys competed in a
basketball throwing contest, which
interested large number. After the
watermelon feed, at which a wagon
load of watermelons vanished like
the stars of the morning, a bucking
exhibition was pulled off. In this
one young man was beautifully
spilled by a little bay, but she was
finally brought to undergo the unac-
customed weight on her back. Cliff
ford Yarbrough, John Morgan, Red
Murphy and James Bowers with sew
eral others managed the exhibitions.
In the road in front of the normal
horse races were held, and Ray Muir
ply did the Roman ride, for which
he is already famous in this commun-
ity.
One of the most interesting and
amusing features of the afternoon S
performances was the boxing contest
between the French and the German.
Strickland and DR.. Jarvis were the
actors in this, and such an amusing
occurrence is not likely to happen
again in Ashland very soon. The
rounds We're short, fast and furious
and both of the boxers exhibited theil
skill. DR., Jarvis is an experienced
college boxer, while Strickland has
had a good deal of experience in this
line, as was shown. On account Of

Team Runs Away
Through Main Street

A team belonging to the Smith liv-
cry stables ran away Thursday after
noon. They had been left standing
in front OF the electric light COM
pany's office on Oak street, and, be-
coming frightened by the gorgeous
costumes of the Shrners and having
no driver to hold them quiet. started
for the livery stables, with the one
instinct of home and safety. They
turned the corner of Oak and Main
streets and in front of ProvOst's
store met up against w. DeWitt's
auto, which they damaged by tearing
fender off and jamming a lamp.
One wheel Of the buggy was so dam
aged that when they went a little
farther and rubbed against Provost's
buggy the wheel collapsed. The
buggy struck was not injured. lt
was an extremely lucky thing that
DeWitts auto received the first
shock as It kept the frightened team
and buggy from the buggy in which
Mr.. Provost sat. The team made
their way from there on safely to the
livery stables, one axle OF the buggy
dragging.

fully with electric lights and the

with Its colored globes. Many of the
business houses had their windows
tastefully and appropriately deco

War Tax On
Many Luxuries

The emergency revenue bill to pro-
vide 1O5,000,000, taxing beer,
wines, gasoline, sleeping and parlor
car tickets, telegraph and telephone
messages, amusements, and variety
of documents, has been agreed upon
by the democratic members of the
house ways and means committee.
Republicans of both house and
senate already have gone on record
in opposition to any war tax meas
ure. The democrats hope to rush the
bill through the house and the big
fight against it, it is realized, will be
in the senate.
The committee increased the in
ternal revenue tax on beer by 90
cents barrel, making the new tax
total $3.50 Domestic wines are to
be taxed 20 cents gallon on sweet
wines and 12 cents a gallon on dry
wines. Gasoline is to be taxed 2
cents a gallon.
Many items of the bill are adopted
verbatim from the Spanish war tax
bill, including the administrative
features
Stamp tax provisions of the bill
and the tax on tobacco dealers,
brokers, bankers and amusements
are carried in Schedule A, which will
continue in effect until December 81,
1915. The remainder of the bill will
be in force until repealed.
Bankers are to be taxed 50 on each
$1,000 of capital, surplus and undi-
vided profits; brokers will pay $50
each, pawnbrokers $40, commercial
brokers $40, custom house brokers
$40. Proprietors of theatres, amuse.
ments and concert halls in cities ot
1900 population or over are to pay
500 each Circus proprietors are tc
pay 500 year, proprietors of Other
exhibitions $40, and proprietors o.
bowling alleys and billiard rooms ST
for each alley or table.
Tobacco dealers and manufactur
ers are to be taxed the same as il
1868 except that in the largest clasi
tobacco dealers not specifically pro
vided for" the tax is to be $3.50 each
In 1898 there was q $12 tax on to
bacco dealers having annual sales o
$4,000 pounds or more.
Bonds and certificates of indebted
ness are taxes cents for each $40
involved, and freight and express re

Leases Big Orchard.

Beginning October l, A. II. Daven-
hill of the Meyer creek neighborhood
will take over for another year the
lease of the entire holdings of the
Rogue River Orchards Company. The
corporation finds it advantageous to
have control of the property in the
hands of one party instead of being
farmed out in job lots. Their expert
ence during the past year has been
eminently satisfactory, hence the re-
newal of the lease.

Praises Springs

B. Brown, deputy sheriff of Oak

and Friday of last week, is a booster
for Ashland mineral springs. Fri
day morning he was taken out to the
lithia springs and he was exceedingly
enthusiastic about them. He be-

sort, with all of the beautiful noun
tains surrounding the springs, the
fine, clear, pure drinking water.
would become famous throughout the
United States.
