ness OF Importance was done.

proximate cost of which will be $3.50,

The employment of a city dog

branch of industry may be carried on
under proper restrictions-consisting

Cleaning up the
Watershed

Matters IN regard to Ashland Can
yon and Ashland's water supply are
always of interest to Ashland readers
and always should be. Several came
up for discussion at Tuesday nights
council meeting. The disposition
made Of these is receunted below
The city hhr,, agreed to haul wire
to Longs Cabin FOR Meagrs, BeesoN
and Kleinhammer, who desire TO
fence their range in the forest re-
serve TO prevent their herds on the
Little Applegate from strayins over
the divide into the Ashland water
shed, where twenty-one had died last
year from eating larkspur. The cat-
tlemen wanted the city to deliver the
wire to the fence line. but this means
a hard and expensive pack up the
hills.
The water committee has investi-
gated the proposal of w. A. Conner
to sell seventy acres just above the
lower intake for $3.50 and declares
the price too high as compare to
that paid for other tracts. The COM
mittee asks for further time TO in
vestigate the offer of Martin brothers
10 sell $50 acres above the power
bouse on which they estimate there
IS $500, 900 feet of saw timber.
Superintendent Butterfield of the
electric light system reports that the
conservation reservoirs above the
power house on the east and west
forks OF Ashland creek have beer
thoroughly cleaned out and that the
capacity Of the latter has been dou
bled by the removal OF rocks anC
fallen timber etc.
The work OF installing eight or eel
drinking fountains along Main stree
and the Boulevard will be begun IL
the course OF a week or ten days b.
the city water department, which l
now busy with the laying of 400
feet OF water pipe on the west sid
of town. The pipe is the ten-inc
that was taken up when the large
pipes were laid over Crowson hill
The fountains will probably be OF &C
ment with porcelain tops and will b
OF sufficient size and artistic desig
to present a dignified appearance
While the water department is at tn
work the school board will also ha'
two erected at the high school.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ID BE CONTINUED Reduce Monthly Fees and Place the Association On a Perna-
 nent Basis.

There was a large attendance at the regular monthly meeting and semi-annual election of officers of the Valdez Commercial Association, which was held last evening in t.e rooms of the association.
 The question of continuing the work of the association came up for consideration and it was the concen- sus of opinion that this should be done. It was believed that by plac- ing the dues at two dollars per month the membership could be increased about fifteen members, which would make a total membership of sixty. This plan was adopted and the sec retary was instructed to notify all the members of the change.
 The meeting then proceeded to the election of board of trustees for the ensuing six months and the following were elected: c. E. Bun nell, Edwin Eckern, w. M. Ethical, C. H. Kraemer, J. c. Martin, B. F. Willard and w. M. Wilson.
