Eire Boys show epeedx Mmrl,

The efficiency of the Ashland fire
department was shown yesterday
morning when the Wheeler house.
now occupied by NJ. B. Riley. took
fire. 1t was started from a faulty
fireplace construction. After tho
alarm was turned in the fire truck
was on the job inside of about three
minutes. The chemical engine wa-
used and checked the fire at once.
One tank of chemicals was used.
When the engine returned to the fire
hall it was charged ready for bust.
ness again inside OF five minutes.
Ashland now feels fully satisfied
with our chemical engine, as it has
proved itself to be efficient The
| advantages of the chemical methoG
were shown very strongly, for the
walls were unsoiled and the furnitrr~
remained intact. Slight damage WA
done. The only thing the fire de.
| partment lacks, according to GriseI
and Robinson, is better organization
among the volunteers.

An elaborate literature campaign
is being planned on the part OF the
national organization. II Is expected
that headquarters will be opened
probably at Portland or Seattle. The
details are not finally determined.
The present plan is that the litera-
ture campaign will be managed by
William f.. Johnson, who acquired
the sobriquet of "Pussyfoot' during
his five years service as chief of the
United States Indian service for the
suppression of the liquor traffic
among Indians. and who Is well
known in the Indian sections OF the
northwest.
The theory Is when any state is
engaged in a contest for statewide
prohibition, all the other states, act
ing through the national organiEa-
tion, come to the rescue and focus
the energies of the temperance forces
of the nation upon the particular
state in question.

Drilling for Artesian
Soda We'll Started MOnday

Upon the advice Of the mineral
water expert the development conf
mittee started drilling for artesian
soda water last Monday. The drill
has penetrated the sandstone to a
distance of about forty feet and the
formation seems to be exactly wdht
the expert expected we would en-
counter. 1t is expected to reach the
artesian flow at a depth of about 150
to 200 feet. II was the opinion OF
the expert that the soda water would
be found in a gravel formation un-
derneath a sandstone caprock.
Although the combined flow of the
springs already developed amounts
to 10000 gallons each "a hours, II
was thought that if an artesian flow
could be obtained at reasonable cost
it would be an immense advertising
asset.
a travelling man from Portland
while in the city Wednesday inquired
! about our mineral springs projec
and said that it was being mucl
talked about around the Portland no
tells and in the towns along the rail
road between here and there. Th
! general outside impression is grow
ing that the project will prove Il bi
thing if successfully carried out

Pioneer Celebrates
Eighty-Fi1St Birthday

In a quiet way and in the midst
OF a few relatives, Judge G. c. Gall
celebrated his S1st birthday ami
versary yesterday at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. William Meyer, on
High street.
Christopher Columbus Gall was
born in Missouri. When quite a
young man he crossed the plains in
1851, walking most of the way, and
with his family first settled in the
Willamette Valley, near Salem. The
year following he came to Jackson
county, and since that time has been
a familiar figure in that section Of
territory constituting the western
portion of the county. He first To-
Gated near Calls creek, afterwards
removing to Sans Valley, and for
years was well-known rancher In
that vicinity. In addition to farming

The Anti-Saloon League of Amer
lea, whose headquarters and general
publishing house are in Westerville,
Ohio. has determined to throw the
whole power OF it's organization to
the assistance of the Anti-Saloon
League of Oregon and the other or
CARNATIONS cooperating with it for
a dry Oregon this year.
At the recent national convention
of the league held at Columbus, Ohio,
that body was completely reor-
ganized. Prior, the national body
was a loose federation of state
leagues without much control over
local organizations. The reorganiza-
tion is a compact machine. in which
all the state organizations become
departments. This reorganization
becomes effective on June l. The
country is divided into sixteen dis
tricts, at the head of each is rep
resentatiye and member of the ma
tional board of trustees. The mem
Der of the national board from the
far northwest is Fletcher Holman OF
Salem, Ore.
; The heads of the Oregon state de-
partment of the league are Rev. j
H. Bennett, president, and II. l.. Shell
don, superintendent. The offices o
the state are located in Portland.

Mayor Johnson is very anxious
that drinking fountains be estab
lished along Main street from the
high school building on the east to
the school on North Main. The plan
has been worked out for some time
but action delayed on account OF
finances. AS the treasury is now in
condition it is planned to place
eight or ten drinking fountains of
cement and porcelain at the most
prominent points on Main. The ne
cessity is strongly felt and work will
be pushed before summer.
The Dennis delivery company petit
toned the council Tuesday night to
modify the traffic ordinance to en-
able the wagons of this company
special privileges in front of stores
of customers. The petition was dis
cussed informally and referred to the
ordinance committee for investiga-
ton. 1t is the consensus of opinion
that this cannot be done without in
validating the entire intent and pur-
pose of the law. The council is of
the opinion this cannot be done with
justice to others, but will make an
attempt to reach an understanding
whereby the delivery company may
not be hampered in its collection and
delivery work.
Feeling the traffic ordinance did
injustice in several instances 20 bicy-
Gle riders, the council adopted mum
ber of amendments to meet the con

ested.

Many Cattle Are Coming, is Late
Report.
There is prospect of twelve train
loads of cattle being handled over the
Southern Pacific-with a stop at Ash
land for unloading and feeding-as
result OF the successful handling OF
the forty-four carloads which were
handled by the company and fed in
the local yards last week, as mem
toned in our last weeks issue. The
cattle come from Eastern Oregon and
are destined for Southern California.
The trainload shipment last week
was to try out the service which the
Southern Pacific Company is prepared
to render, and the company gave a
good account of itself. The cattle of
| last week came down from Portland
! in good shape and were we'll taken
care of here by D. D. Good, who has
represented the company in this ca
pacity for several years. From here
the cattle were taken to Los Banos
California on schedule time--theTeby
saving the owners the expense of un-
loading and feeding again.
The capable handling OF this trial
shipment is a feather in the cap oi
the railway company and practically
assures the shipment of twelve more
trainloads over the Southern Pacific
| Mr.. Good states that the Tiding'
and the Record were in error las
week in stating that forty-four car
loads taxed the local stockyards t.
their limit. He says fifty cars cal
be handled here at once.

reversed his position on the liquor
question and has since fought for
prohibition with greater fury than he
formerly supported II.
