Camps to Install
Gasoline Pump

F. l.. Camps applied to the city
council at the last meeting to be al
lowed to install new up-to-date gas
oline system. This will be a fine
appearing curb distributor and will
be a great convenience for autoists,
as they will be spared the trouble of
driving into the garage. The tank
will be installed under the sidewalk
at the required depth of four feet
Considerable discussion was held
on the matter, but finally, by the ex-
plantations of Councilman Beaver and
the agent for the pump, the council
unanimously granted the request. At
first they thought that the distrib-
utor post would be in the way of
traffic, as the Ideal grocery and
garage corner was held to be the
most contested of any in town.

Colonel BoWlby
lnspects Highway

State Highway Engineer H. l..
Bowlby made a tour of inspection of
the work being done on the Pacific
Highway Saturday and formally ac-
cepted as completed that portion of
the Siskiyou division from Steinman
crossing north.
Mr.. Bowlby reports that satisfac-
tory agreements have been reached
with the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company regarding the overhead
crossings at Dollarhide and Steinman,
and that work on both crossings is
under way. A slight change in the
road at Siskiyou tunnel entrance was
made. taking the highway below the
railroad right of way. Grading will
be mostly finished by October first,
though some rock work will not be
completed until a month later.
No agreement has been reached
regarding the proposed Billings cross
ing at Ashland. The railroad OBJ
jects to the Billings crossing, as it
involves an eighty-foot span. The
company wants to place the crossing
under the railroad south of the pres
ent grade crossing, but this makes a
dangerous curve in the road. The
railroad wants this crossing to be in
two spans, with concrete wall in the
center of the road, which the state
highway engineer will not permit.
The matter IS deadlocked and no eff
fort will be made to pave this portion
OF the highway. The highway is be-
ing graded from Barron to the Klam-
ath junction for paving operations.

Stock Men are
Fearing Rabies

Mr.. Chapman, living near the Soda
Springs, leaves this evening for Port
land to ascertain if dog which bit
him three months ago had rabies. He
takes with him the head of cow
which died yesterday after being bit
ten by the dog. He has also lost
some pigs and calves and they and
the COW all refused to drink as death
approached did also the dog be-
fore il died
The dog had been kicked and was
crippled. 1t bit Mr.. Chapman appar-
emily in play and possibly before it
was infected-but shortly afterwards
it became sick and surly and finally
died, apparently in agony and with
the mad dogs usual adherence of
water. The hogs and calves and
finally the COW died under similar
circumstances.
DR.. Swedenburg of the health
board thinks the cow-the only one
of the animals he saw-died OF
rabies. He advised Mr.. Chapman to
go to Portland and he sent the cows
head for examination. He advises
that dogs be kept muzzled. Cold
weather has nothing to do with
rabies. The worst epidemic of rabies
that ever occurred in Minnesota
broke out in the winter.

College Prevails
Upon Endelman

Many Ashland people will regret
to learn that DR.. Endelman contem-
plates leaving Ashland about the
twenty-third of this month-though
he does not dispose of his dental bus
mess but merely closes his office for
a period of about two months. DR..
Endelman goes to Los Angeles to
become Professor of the Principles
of Dental Science" at the University
of Southern California. He has ac-
cepted the position tentatively after
much urging and will give it a trial
before disposing of his business here.
In addition to teaching as above stat
ed he will have general supervision
of the College of Dentistry. The
University of Southern California will
be fortunate if DR.. Endelman decides
to accept the position permanently
as he has had a large amount of ex-
perience along these lines in the east.

State Line is
Being Surveyed

A government surveying party of
nine young men, under F. w. Ru-
dolf of Portland, has been conduct
ing a state line examination between
Oregon and California. They came
in from the Waldo country the past
week and passed through Ashland to
continue the work to the east. There
have been disputes regarding the ex-
act location of the line between the
two states, and this party has been in
the field since June upon the survey
Last year some work was also done
by a party under Mr.. Rudolf, carry
ing the survey to a point within six
miles of the coast above Crescent
City. The outfit is carried with a
four-horse team and heavy wagon,
and the camp equipage is transferred
to pack horses when the work is
away from the wagon roads. No ma
terial differences have been found in
the location of the line, and the
country along the boundary is of such
character that neither state would
Gin or lose much through the acquisi.
tion of a few acres more or less of
it, say the surveyors.

Congregational
Pastor Resigns

Rev. w. A. Schwimley, who has
been the pastor of the Congregation
al church of this city for four years,
has resigned from this pulpit His
resignation will take effect on or be-
fore October 1. Rev. Schwimley will
assume the duties as pastor of the
First Congregational church at Lodi,
Cal. His resignation is due to the
effect of the high altitude here on
the health of Mrs. Schwimley Prior
to coming to Ashland he preached at
Sibley, Iowa. The many friends that
he and his family have drawn around
them during their stay in the city
will be very sorry indeed to lose
them.
