Senior Officers
Have Been Chosen

The senior Officers for the coming
year are as follows: President, Le-
Roy Ashcraft; vice-president Bill
Holmes; secretary, Robert Spencer;
treasurer, Harold Simpson. This is
much the same group of officers that
headed the junior class of last year.
The senior class is making some big
plans for the year.
From the Medford Sun we learn
that in Medford James Vance was
elected president, Vera Merriman
vice-president, and Griffith Cowgirl
treasurer. The newly elected officers
were called upon to make a speech.
Each responded and the next hall
hour was filled with words of praise
for the other classes and the faculty
1t was decided that a number of en-
tertainments would be given this year
and that the senior class would or
ganize a basketball team.
If our senior class could organize
basketball team, some fine games
between Medford and Ashland senior:
could be arranged.

JrlH. Hardy Might Return.

In answer to the telegram sent by
the Commercial Club through Secre-
tary Seager in regard to his taking
charge of the Polytechnic again, J. H.
Hardy expresses himself as being very
anxious to do so, and feels that he
can put the school on a paying basis,
but is withheld at present by his busi-
ness interests in Washington. An ex-
tract from his letter is as follows:
"As regards coming back, it seems
now all but impossible, and while |
shall make every effort to do so, it
can only be on the event of our sell
ing our interests here. We are max
ing every effort to do this, and If we
should be successful I will report to
Ashland as soon as possible"

Grants Pass to
Buy Water System

A proposal from the Rogue River
Water Company, involving the pur-
chase by the city of the water system
by which the municipality is served,
was presented to the common coun-
ell at its meeting last night by Mayor
McKinstry, says the Grants Pass
Courier. The mayor explained that
the attempt made by a previous ad
ministration to reduce the water
rates charged by the company had re-
suited in the application of the COM
pany to the state commission for an
increase of rates, and that it seemed
likely that the increase asked would
be allowed. To forestall this in
crease, the mayor proposed the pur-
chase OF the plant, and had taken the
question up with the water company,
The company had set price of $125,-
| 900 upon the system, agreeing to take
in payment the bonds of the city at
3 u per cent interest. Mayor McKin-
stry submitted a statement showing
how through municipal ownership Of
its plant the city would profit finan-
cially and receive much better service
than it is now receiving. An ordi-
nance providing for the calling of a
special bonding election for the pur-
chase of the plant had been prepared,
but the point was raised that the
issue of $125,O00 bonds for the pur-
chase would run the city bonds over
the 100000 limit provided by char
ter. For this reason no action was
, taken by the council, and the pro,
posal will have to await some solu,
tion in this regard before it can be
: put to vote of the people. The figures
presented by the mayor showed thai
l the company claimed to be operating
} at the present time at a gross deficit
; of $1,705.35 per annum, and that {
radical increase of rates might be ex
! pected under private ownership, while
0 no increase would be necessary undeI
= municipal ownership. He suggested
g that the citizens might expect an in
y crease OF from so to rs cents per ser
J. vice unless the city could find SOM
: way to purchase the plant.

Thursday Night

A very heavy rain fell in Ashland
Thursday night. During the evening

Gala Event At
Normal Friday

The topic of conversation nowadays
is the big normal enthusiasm gather
ing next Friday. when all of Ashland S
citizens are to come together for an
afternoon Of genuine good time.
Everybody is requested to be present.
And think! Admission to the grounds
is to be absolutely FREE.
AT a meeting of the charmen of
the different committees Thursday
night it was decided by the ways and
means committee to make the admis-
sion absolutely free. Money must be
raised, however, that is, as small
sums, to pay expenses, so it was de-
cided to sell tickets to and from the
grounds at 10 cents each way per
ride. This will make the cost of get
ting to and from only 20 cents per
person.
Professor Briscoe, chairman Of the
entertainment committee, has secured
Ray Murpay to repeat the wonderful
Roman ride which he performed be-
fore the admiring eyes of Ashlanders
several years ago. This alone will
be worth the price of riding to and
from. Then there will be calithump-
ian speeches, bucking exhibitions
games, races and everything for the
amusement of the people that are
going to attend.
The transportation committee has
procured a great many autos for the
occasion, so there will be room fol
everyone. Ames' big truck and EC
Staples big twelve-passenge will alst
be asked to run on this occasion.
Under the management of the way
