DoIlarhide Toll
Road Purchased

The Dollarhide toll road is a thing
of the past. No longer will the Cali
fornia visitor to Oregon and the Ore
gon visitor to California be compelled
to pay to leave and enter the state
by wagon road, for the county court
Monday purchased for $1,000 the
Dollarhide toll road and thereby ef-
fected a satisfactory settlement of the
suit instituted against the county by
the road owners.
The Dollarhide road was built in
the early sos and for sixty years has
been in constant use. 1t was private
ly built in territorial days, and pri-
vately maintained since. A portion
was purchased a year ago for the
Pacific highway The balance af
fords an outlet for some sixteen fam
lilies residing in the mountains, be-
sides will be used during the paving
operations to be conducted by the
state this summer on the Pacific
highway.
The road is twelve miles long, con-
tains many steep grades, but has
done its share in the development oi
the county. 1t is the last toll road
in southern Oregon.

Southern Pacific
Day at Exposition

When the project of the Panama
Pacific International Exposition was
launched several years ago, the
Southern Pacific Company was
among the first to offer its moral
and financial support. In view Of
this fact, the officials of the exposi-
ton have set aside March 10 as the
day on which to pay public tribute to
its efforts contributing to the success
of the fair.
On that day, which is to be known
as Southern Pacific Day." every en-
ploye of the largest corporation in
the west that can be spared from
duty will attend the exposition. At
the same time, the Southern Pacific
building on Palm avenue will be
thrown open to the public.
A special Pullman was put on No

Shasta division railroad employees
who made the trip. About fifty

Loris Martin was acquitted by
jury of twelve men of the county last
Tuesday afternoon and has returned
to his mountain home. Martin has
been held in the county Jail since last
December awaiting trial for the kill
ing Of Game Warden Arthur S. Hub
bard on Trail creek during that
month when Hubbard made an at
tempt to arrest him for repeated
game law violations.
The acquittal of Martin came as
shock to most Ashland people as a
term of years in the penitentiary was
considered certain for the noun
taineer The credit for the securing
of favorable verdict must go main
ly to Attorney Evan Peames, who de-
Tended the prisoner. Mr.. Reames
wove an intricate and solid defense
and with careful attention to details
created an atmosphere which was ex-
tremely favorable to his client. Con-
stable Irwin, the only eye witness of
the shooting, did very little good for
the prosecution as his nerves were
so badly shattered by the events of
the killing that he has at no time
seemed able to give a connected ac-
count OF the affair.
Martin had witness after witness
on the stand in his behalf, all of
whom gave a good account Of his
character. The defense seemed ia
have proven to the jury that Martin
shot in self-defense, and it was upon
this supposition that the verdict
seems to have been rendered.
After his acquittal Martin joined
his relatives and friends and it is
understood that he is to leave fol
British Columbia to live.
When the findings of the jury were
read a wild demonstration broke out
ip the court room, followed by cheers
and handclapring from sympathizeri
of the defendant, though the widow
of the man he slew sat mourning
among them. The court ordered the
bailiffs to clear the court room after
this outbreak. Afterwards the benci
qualified his order by allowing thos'
who had not clapped or cheered t.
remain. The final court formalitie
were soon over, and the prisoner of
ficially given his freedom.

MedfOrd Club Gets
Behind New Band

The Medford Commercial Club has
got behind the organization of city
band and our neighboring town is to
have fine musical organization. r.
NJ. Curns has been engaged as leader
and the best of Medford's many ex-
cellent musicians will be moulded
into a band second to none in the
valley.
Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford
and Talent all have bands now and
Ashland has the start for one II is
up to the people of Ashland to get
behind our musicians and boost for
a good live band. The material is
here and the band boys are willing
to play, but such an organization
must have something more than the
loose organization which now exists
before the proper cooperation of all
the band men can be secured.

Johnson Appoints
Two PatrOlmen

Mayor Johnson has made definite
appointments of Charles E. Johnson
and John B. Winner to take the
places of the two patrolmen who re-
signed during the recent police mix.
Both of the new men are well known
and liked throughout the commun-
ity, and are. capable and well fitted
for the positions.
Charles johnson has been en-
gagged In carpenter work in the city
for the past few years and Mr.. Winner
is an old Ashland resident who needs
no introduction to Ashland people.
The city officials are indeed FORUM
ate in securing men of their high
caliber for the police department.

Thirty-Three Scalps
Record of Rat Hunter

Last September the city officials
offered a five-cent bounty on rats
and put up prizes for the school chill
dren who should bring in the great
est number of scalps. The first prize
was five-dollar gold piece and the
second two dollars.
Dwight Gregg carried off first hon
.ors with a total of thirty-three rats
which fell victim to his prowess.
Lyle Sans and Louis Schofield tied
for second money with fifteen apiece
to their credit.
The mayor does not believe that
the small number of scalps turned in
is an indication of a scarcity of rats,
but is rather a result of lack of in
terest on the part of the children.
Another campaign may be inaugural
ed in the near future to further ex-
terminate the carriers of pestilence,

Spray Should be
Carefully Applied

One frequently hears the COM
plant that certain spray mixture is
not efficient, since in a certain ORCH
ard it failed to control the pest for
which it was applied. Inquiry in
such cases often develops the fact
that the spray was Soplied at the
proper time or tr 3 art or all of
carelessly done. d" Ter inquiry will
usually bring - t the fact that
a not far dis - ighbor has used
identical ma and obtained the
desired resu : mis- state of affairs
was strikin s in this county the
past seaso !SS cially with reference
to codliD S.Sl. The season, it is
true, was eAS ptionally favorably for
the development Of insects, but this
and poor grade of materials used can
hardly account for all of the failures.
A part Of the blame, at least, must
attach to careless spraying. There is
right time and right way to APP
ply spray materials for the control
of insect or fungus pests and they
will not yield to any other method.
The time to get apple and pear scab
is before infection takes place. Once
the fungus is in the fruit or leaves,
its progress cannot be stopped. The
time to prevent wormy fruit is before
the codling moth larvae begin to feed
in the spring, and the way to prevent
it is to do the spraying so carefully
and thoroughly that every calyx cup
is filled with the poison and every
edible surface is completely covered.

Plan Exhibit Of
Native Fish in Park


Local sportsmen are greatly inter-
ested in plan to establish fine
display of native fish as a part of the
new attractions which are being
worked out for the parking system.
The pond in the park will make n
good beginning and 1t is planned to
build additional reservoirs and make
one of the finest fish exhibits on tho
coast. The plentiful supply OF Ash
land creek water available in the
park is conceded to be the best kind
OF water for all kinds of native fish
and by proper care such an exhibit
could easily be developde into big
attraction.

Loss in Weed Fire
About 100000

The general office Of the Weed
Lumber Company reports that the
total loss by the fire last Thursday
afternoon was 100000, the sum in
cluding the damage done to the sys-
TEN of tramways. Between five mil
lion and six million feet OF lumber
was burned, according to the COM
pany's estimate. It was all insured.
The lumber yard destroyed, No. 8,
is commonly called the "out" yard.
The Weed Lumber Company, not
withstanding its loss OF 100000,
considers that 1t was very fortunate
1t did not lose more than ten times
that sum, as appeared possible up to
the time the wind shifted to the
south at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Fourth Street Hose
Tower Taken Down

The tall tower on the Fourth
street fire station is being taken
down. The original purpose of the
tower was to hoist hose so that 1t
would drain, but with the establish
ment of the central fire station and
the removal of the fire-fighting ap-
paratus from the Fourth street sta
tion it has become useless. The
Fourth street station has been used
as a OBTAINING cell for arrestees and
as a hobo hotel, but is now to be
transformed into a police station and
Jail.

Mayor Gives Notice
OF Cleanup Day
To the Citizens of Ashland:

10 Iu6 SlIlZSuS Ol Abulduu.
wish herewith to designate Mon
day, March Is, as our annual clean
up day.
In view of this year being 1915
and the bis things it brings to the
west, and the great effort being now
made by our people locally to share
in it's beenfits, it would seem unnec-
essary to urge a special effort along
cleanup lines. Our city should look
her best. A great number of people
will be passing this way this year and
we want their good word. Sanitary
conditions and attractive surround
ings are especially noticed by the
stranger.
Make Monday next an extra good
cleanup day. Make an extra effort.
Free wagons for the occasion will call
at your premises for the garbage,
which should be placed in boxes or
bags and put in a convenient place
for the wagons, either in the alley or
on curb line in front Of premises.
Have it all ready.
I wish to give notice also to all
parties that no refuse or material
shall be removed from the dump
ground without special permission of
A. A. Graves, custodian, and to whom
all such waste material belongs when
unloaded on said grounds.
Respectfully,

WARD COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOL, ASSOCIATION.


Believing it would be of interest to
the hundreds of Sunday school people
found among the Independents read
ers, the editor has given space to the
Ward County Sunday School Asso-
citation for message each week. This
will consist of articles by the super
intendents of the various departments
Of the association, also the officers
and other Sunday school workers; and
notes rom the various schools thru
out the county. Anyone having any
thing Of interest in reference to Sun
day school work, or items in connec-
ton with any S. S., is most cordially
invited to send same to the Secretary.
1t is interesting to note the advance
made in many of the Sunday schools
the past year. The reports were sent
out to the various schools early in
January, and so far only twenty one
have been returned to the Secretary.
The Hauge Lutheran S. S. Of Minot,
Rev. Theo. J. Lund, pastor, Syver Den,
superintendent, was the first to re-
port, with the Kenmare Brethren,
Rev. G. J. Michael, pastor. Jacob
Schwartz, superintendent, close sec
ond. If every school would realize the
Importance of sending back these re-
ports promptly it would be joy to
the secretary and save hours of writ
ing. A remembrance of writing nine
letters to one superintendent to get a
report, and his answer brings a smile.
Said he, "We admire your persistence
and are sorry we did not send report
sooner" Some of the dilatory schools
please note above and beware! Your
secretary must have a report from
every school in Ward county before
the state conventional she does not
she has failed in her duty; and Ward
county loses that point in her standard
of excellence. Will you not help?
Ask your superintendent if your Sun
day school report has been sent in.
Below we give the list of require
ments that Ward county must meet
in order to be a Twentieth Century
county.
County Standard.
1. Organized and County Conven-
ton held.
2. Annual statistical report of
every school in the county.

II. Systematic missionary instruc-
ton and Offering in rs per cent of the

the schools.
The President and the County AS
ISOLATION is responsible for the at
tainment of points l and 3.
The Secretary for point 8.
The Executive Committee for point
a.
Treasurer for point S.
Elementary Supt. for point 6.
Home Department Supt. for point 7.
Adult and Secondary Supts. for
point s.
Teacher Training Supt. point 9.
Teacher Training and Elementary
Supts. point 10.
Missionary Supt. point II.
Temperance Supt. point IL.
Last June at the State Convention,
held in Jamestown, Ward county
claimed eleven points. This year, with
the state convention meeting in our
own county, can we not make it
twelve points and advance from the
position of Front Line county to
that of Twentieth Century county?
The various county officers are re-
sponsible for the attainment of these
various points for the county, but they
can do nothing without your help. This
means every school in the county, re-
CARELESS of denomination.
Help bring your own school up to
the standard and you help the county
as we'll.
For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the Sunday school re-
quirements we are giving the school
standard below:
1. Cradle Roll. 2. Home Depart
