by Aggie Man

Members of the fruitgrowers' conf
mittee appointed by the mass meet
ing two weeks ago, of which f. H.

dent Kerr and Dean CorbaIey Of the
Oregon Agricultural College Thurs
day afternoon and discussed the mat
ter of naming a pathologist to sue
ceed Prof. p. J. O'Gara.
Though no definite decision was
reached, the proposition of the state
college was taken under adyisemeut,
and will probably be accepted, being
as follows: If the county will pay
1000 the college will pay the re-
mainder of the pathologists salary.
and approve the appointment of Path
ologist Ballard, who was recommend
ed by Prof. O'Gara, the college to Be
given the right to use experimental
data, etc.

O'Gara, is considered one of the grEa
authorities on blight and other frUir
conditions, and is at present connect
ed with the department of agricul-
ture. He took Prof. OGaras place
in the department. He also discov-
cred spray solution that has been
highly effective in the eradication OF
blight. He is at present at Watson
vile, Cal, and is highly recommend
ed.

tee will be reached and announced
this week The county court will
meet and take action at an early date.

The Mineral Springs
Contracts

Many persons have asked the conf
mittee the terms of the contracts for
the mineral springs.
The hot sulphur spring located ON
the Berkeley place, just across the
railroad at the east end of the Boule-
ward, was acquired by purchase. The
price raid was $3.50. The spring
flows sixty gallons per minute and is
90 degrees hot at bedrock.
There was no money consideration
paid for any other spring, each one
being a contract for the present own
er to have a perpetual surplus water
right, the city to use it exclusively
for public drinking purposes.
Under the contracts the springs are
for the benefit OF the city, with a
provision that if the city fails to carry
out its contract TO pipe the water
within one year the contracts are void
and the springs. together with all de-
velopment made by the committee.
revert to the present owners of the
land upon which the springs are To-
Gated.
The contracts were made strictly
for the city of Ashland. Private per-

SuStainS Validity Of
Grants Pass Bonds

The test case involving the legality
of the 100000 bond issue Of the city
of Grants Pass for the building of the
municipal unit OF the railroad to Will
derville was argued before Judge Cal
kins of the circuit court and a de-
cision was rendered by the judge sup
porting the validity of the issue.
The complaint made an attack
upon the constitutionality of the
issue, contending that the city could
not issue bonds for the construction
of railway outside the limits of the
municipal corporation
Appeal will at once oe taken to the
state supreme court, which it will
reach early this week. AS matters OF
such public Importance as this are
usually given right of way in that

ASHLAND SPOTLESS
CITY by CLEANUP

Cleanup day was generally OBJ
served today and Ashland is now al
most in the spotless city class. The
city street department had several
wagons busy all day carrying Off
refuse.
Mayor Johnson and Commissioner
Fraley were highly elated by the ac-
tivity with which citizens generally
assisted in this work. However, there
were a few negligent ones and Chief
Porter and his assistants will follow
up and see that these do not over
look their premises.
The city officials are anxious to
make Ashland beautiful not only in
name but in fact, and in this ambi-
tion have the hearty support of the
civic societies of the city.

latter establishment has one of these
rare mammals and is very proud of

The pangolim is sort OF anteater,
whose body IS covered with scales. Al
though it Is n mammal. a stranger ask

certainly call 1t lizard.
The white bellied pangolln trains
with the owl and bats and sleeps dur

of II large croQuet ball, and In this po-
sition. owing TO its plating OF pointed

No Idea of Cost
Yet AScertained

1t is said to have been commonly
rumored that the springs develop
ment committee has given an esti-
mate of cost on piping in the pro-
posed springs at 100000. This is
an error The development commit
tee has made no suggestion as to the
cost of the enterprise In the first
place no approximate guess of the
cost could be made until the kind of
pipes necessary to carry the waters
is ascertained. That will not be
known until the analysis is complet-
ed. The chemists are now subjecting
the waters to metal tests and will be
ready TO report on the kind of pipes
to be used in a few days. In the
meantime the committee do not know
whether the work will cost two thou
sand dollars or two hundred thousand
dollars.
As fast as authentic reports from
the chemists are received they will be
made public through the papers, a:
we'll as the estimates of the engineers
1t is hoped no more discouraging ru
mors will be circulated.
The committee are using ever!
means they can think of to protec
the interest of the city, and when tn,
cost is ascertained no doubt it vii
be found satisfactory.

Oregon Wheat
Yield a Bumper

The states of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho will produce bumper crop
of wheat this year, and unless all
signs fail, the yield will be record
breaker. Experienced grain men pre-
dict an outturn of at least 70,000,000
bushels of this cereal in the Pacific
northwest.
These views are based on the re-
markably fine condition of the winter
wheat crop in the three states. From
the date of planting to the present
time, all conditions of climate, soil
and moisture have been ideal. From
every point in the northwest comes
an uniform report of perfect growing
weather and fine stand.
The increase in acreage has been
more extensive than expected, averag.
ing perhaps close to 10 per cent
! throughout the entire territory.
The northwest last year turned of
wheat crop of about 6,OOO,0Ot
bushels. The record yield heretofore
has been 65,000,000 bushels.
This year the three states will com,
up to this latter figure and withou
doubt will exceed it.
! Spring wheat sowing is now almos
completed in all sections, and genera
conditions could not be better for thi
operation. Prospects for barley, oats
forage and fruits of all kinds are en-
tirely satisfactory.

NEW WATER PIPES
BEING CONNECTED

Water Commissioner Earl Hosler
has large force OF men at work on

off in certain portions of the city last

When this connection is completed
the increased facilities will greatly

AUTO CRASHED INTO
FERGUSON STORE

An auto, probably attracted by the
inducements offered by low prices of
Ferguson's Bargain Store, crashed
through the big plate glass window
Sunday morning. The car, belonging
to Mrs. Carlton, was driven by her
son, and had been left standing in
front of the Oregon hotel. AS the
brake did not hold on the incline, the
car followed its natural bent and
started down the hill. The damage
was slight except to the glass.
