THINK THIS "BRITOM" IS SPY.

Captain Gray Declares He's an Eng
 Iishman, but Consul Denies 1t.
 The Army and Navy club of New York has begun an investigation to de- termine whether Captain Newenham A Gray, who has lived at the club as d British army officer for the last eight months, is in fact German spy. The clubs action was precipitated by charges filed by British agents with the Washington administration.
 The British consul says that Captain Grays boast Of being an officer in the Indian service of Great Britain is dis proved by an inspection of the army rolls. Instead of being an English man he is Krupp expert. it is said.

park work. Nearly two miles of trail

a number of pleasant routes for an
afternoons stroll.

Ordinance Will
Protect Flowers

Two ordinances regarding preserv-
alton of folwers and shrubs in the
city park and protecting the same on
private property were read at Tues
days council meeting, passed to sec
ond reading and adopted under sus-
pension of the rules. They will go
into effect ten days from date of
passing. After Friday, April 16, they
will be enforced The ordinances are
printed elsewhere in this issue and
should be carefully read by every
resident of Ashland and especially
impressed upon the children by their
parents.
One ordinance prohibits the pick
ing of flowers, breaking of branches,
blossoms or digging up of bulbs on
any property owned either by private
persons orecorporations without the
owners consent. The second con-
tains the same provisions and applies
to property owned by the city. This
ordinance covers that portion of the
city park up the canyon which is out
side the city limits.
This does not prevent people from
picking their own flowers, of course,
but protects them and the city from
vandalism. 1t was found necessary
to pass some such law in order to put
an end to continued depredations Of
this kind.
Any person over eighteen years of
age convicted of violations of the or
dinances will be subject to a fine Of
from $5 to $50 or ten days in the
jail, or both. A minor convicted of
violation will be subject to a fine of
from So to $40 or one to four days
in jail.

"GlenVieW Drive"
Is Name Chosen

The city council has placed it's Of
ficial sanction on "Glenview Drive"
as the name for that portion of the
scenic drive which extends from
Vista street to the canyon road
above the dam.
1t will repay every Ashland resi-
dent to either drive or walk over our
wonderful new drive at the earliest
opportunity. If a name incorporat-
ing Mountain View, Valley View, City
View and a myriad of other views
could have been found it might stand
a small chance of doing the beauties
of the drive justice. However, the
chosen name is appropriate and eu-
phonious and is a good selection.
We predict that during the coming
summer Glenview Drive and the new
Park Drive will see more travel than
any other street in Ashland.

Coast Railroad is
q To Be Rushed

The indomintable spirit of DR..
Reddy and other so-called 'promot-
ers" is bearing fruit. The Rogue
River Valley is to have a direct out
let to a seaport at Crescent City. The
completion of this road will result in
a material reduction of freight rates
from Ashland to Portland and San
Francisco and will open up vast
territory of practically undeveloped
land, to say nothing of millions Of
feet of lumber and large mineral de-
posits.
Twohy Brothers, railroad contract
ors, who have built number of i'm
portant units of the Hartman lines
in the northwest, have announced
that the completion of the California
& Coast railroad projected from
Grants Pass to Crescent City, on the
coast of northern California, had
been financed and maintained opera
tions would be begun within few
weeks and carried to completion,
probably by the end of this year.
The project calls for an eXpendi-
ture of approximately $5,000,000.
OF this sum the city of Grants Pass
already has raised 100000 by a
bond issue, and the money has been
expended in building the first ten
miles of the road between Grants
Pass and Wilderville. There remains
to be built eighty-one miles of road
For this the greater portion of the
right of way has been secured.

Vandal Hacks
Trinity Tree

Councilman Biegel reported Tues
day evening that some vandal had
girdled the already famous trinity
tree in the upper park. This is the
most low down piece of totally un-
called for meanness that has ever
been committed in this vicinity. 1t
is impossible to perceive what de-
generate motive could have impelled
the unknown scoundrel to commit
such an act of wanton destruction.
The Trinity tree is natural wonder
which would have been an object of
interest to all visitors to the park.
Hanging would be too good for the
pernicious miscreant who maliciously
injured this asset to the park.

Grade Crossing
On Orange Street

The matter of the grade crossing
on Orange street has been satisfac-
torly settled and work on the cross
ing will go forward at the earliest
possible time. The city wanted a
grade crossing owing to the small
amount of travel which will go
across the railroad at this point
while the railroad commission be-
lieyed that grade crossing was the
proper procedure. The matter was
adjusted by a representative of the
commission who was here recently,
and the city will be allowed to make
a grade crossing.

HOW To PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS
AMI FOOD FERMENTATION
Nv a stomach Specialist

As q specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles. / have been forced 10
the conclusion that most people who
complain Of stomach trouble possess
stomaChs that are absolutely healthy
and normal The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach, aE
gravated BY food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate lining Of
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stomach
abnormally. causing that full blOated
feeling Thus both acid and fermenta-
tiOn interfere with and retard the pro-
cess of digestion. The stomach is usu-
ally healthy and normal. but irritated
almost past endurance by these foreign
elementS-acid and wind. In all such
caseS-and they comprise over 90 per
cent. OF all stomach difficulties-the
first and only step necessary is to neu-
traliZe the acid and stop the fermenta-
tiOn by taking i'm a little warm or cold
water Immediately after eating, from
one TO two teaspoonfuls of bisurated
magnesia. which is doubtless the best
and only really effective antacid and
food corrective known. The acid viii
be neutralized and the fermentation
stopped almost instantly, and your
stomach will at once proceed TO digest
the food in a healthy. normal manner
BE sure to ask your druggist for the
blsurated maEueSia. as I have found
other forms utterly lacking in its pecu-
larly valuable properties. j. c.
