Much Freight But
Few Passengers

Passenger traffic on the Southern
Pacific has decreased considerably
since the close of the exposition and
but seven and eight car trains are run
when two and three sections of ten
to thirteen cars were necessary dur
ing the summer. Railroaders do not
anticipate that trains SO and 54,
which were put on to handle the ex-
position traffic, will be taken off un-
til after Christmas, if at all. 1t is
persistently rumored that if a change
is made, these trains will be left on
and Nos. 8 and 16 will be taken off.
Freight traffic is holding up and,
in fact, getting better every day, with
no indications of letup. Old timers
believe the present traffic will con-
tinue until the Panama canal is
opened up. All of the extra men are
busy and times on the road are good.
One freight which pulled into Ash
land the other evening with five en-
gines carried four firemen who are
regular switch engine firemen.

President Quietly
Married SATURDAY.

President Woodrow Wilson and
Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait we're mar
ried Saturday evening at $3.50 o'clock
and are enjoying their honeymoon at
Hot Springs, Virginia. The wedding
was a strictly informal affair, with
none present but few immedia-e
friends and relatives. Less than thir-
ty persons were present at the cere-
mony. Hundreds OF gifts were re-
ceived by the couple, despite intima-
tions from the White House that
nothing should be sent by any others
than relatives and close friends. The
nations chief and his wife are at the
Homestead Hotel at Hot Springs and
will remain until after New Years
day unless unforeseen events call the
president back to Washington.

Valley Mines May
Furnish Cheap Coal

company is operating the Sunny
side coal mine, six miles west of
Medford, and reports the output Of
the mine to be rapidly improving as
the tunnel is pushed deeper into the
mountain. At present all of the coal
mined is being disposed of in Med
ford and no attempt made to adver-
tise it or enlarge the market. The
mine is said to have paid expenses of
late.
Manager Bulls of the Southern
Oregon Traction Company has ex-
pressed a willingness to extend his
electric line to the mine just as soon
as sufficient tonnage shall have been
provided to justify the project
So far all deliveries have been
made by team at a cost of $2.25
ton. The coal sells at So a ton.
Properly handled, it is believed that
the coal can be disposed of at So
ton or less. There appears to be an
unlimited quantity of coal in sight,
with an increasing extent of vein as
depth is attained.
An effort is being made at this
time to increase the output, supply
the tonnage required by the electric
line, enlarge the field for marketing
the product and advertise the enter
prise as business looking for rec
ognition and support.
It can not be denied that good
sized deposits of coal exist in the
mountains and hills on the east side
Of the valley, and it seems far from
improbable that the near future will
see valley mines furnishing the valley
with cheap coal Some time ago
considerable work was done on a
mine above the lithia springs on Emf
grant creek and fair prospects OF
good coal found, but when the shaft
became full of water, operations were

Eugene Electric
Deal Is Similar

The city OF Eugene has purchased
the distribution lines of an electric
company who were on about the same
footing with the Eugene municipal
plant as the Ashland company was to
the Ashland municipal plant.
The deal effected is somewhat SIM
liar to the deal offered in Ashland
last August.
The purchase price for the distrib-
uting system in Eugene is $150,000,
including the poles, wire and substa-
tion equipment. OF this $4,000 is
to be paid in cash. The balance is to
be paid at the rate of 1850 month
with interest at 5 per cent.
The $4,000 cash is to be paid
from the profits accumulated by the
city of Eugene during the past four
years. The monthly payments are to
be met from the future profits Of the
acquired business, according to men,
bers of the Eugene water board.
The electric rate in Eugene is from
cents a kilowatt,
while in Ashland the rate varies from
s cents to cent in proportion to the
amount used 1t is easily apparent
why the Eugene city officials have
been able to accumulate $50, 1000 and
ire confident of making the plant pay
Tor the purchase.

Cunningham's Statement.

To the Voters of the Second Ward:
Late in the evening of the last day
for the filing of nominations for
councilman, particular friends tele-
phoned me, asking if would consid-
er a nomination, stating that it was
very much desired by many voters of
the city. | reluctantly gave my con-
sent, after which a petition was cir
culated and filed with the city re-
corder, and in accordance Herewith
my name has been printed on the Of
ficial ballot as one of the nominees
for councilman from this ward.
Upon more deliberate consideration
have thought that owing to the al
most total loss of my voice, and the
helpless condition of my wife, that
the sacrifice and the burden of per-
forming the duties of councilman are
too great for me to further assume
at this time, especially in view Of the
fact that | have given eight years
service to the city Of Ashland, as
councilman, during which time
have spent many days, as we'll as
nights, in the performance of my Off
cial duties, and have assumed great
responsibilities and borne much un-
Just criticism, all from a strong sense
of duty to my constituents, in the /
consciousness of doing right, and |
without hope of reward or other con-
sideration.
After such long and loyal service
to the city / now feel that the public
should have no further claims on me
from an official standpoint, and
shall therefore feel satisfied if all Of
my friends will kindly refrain from
casting their ballots for me at the
coming election.
Yours for the continued progress,
and law enforcement of Ash
land, c. CUNNINGHAM.
