Soda And Lithia

A. L. Lamb, who has the contract
for the mineral water pavilion at the
Southern Pacific station, is making
good progress with the construction
work. The foundation is completed.
The building stands on the site for
merly occupied by the exhibit build

The water will bubble up from bed
of small stones against dome Of
plate glass set in copper. Automatic
faucets will dispense the water, and
before long every passenger who
passes through Ashland will have an
opportunity to quaff long, cold
draughts of either lithia or soda wa
ter or both.

Renumber Rural
Route No. l Boxes

When the rural route to Wagner
Springs out of Ashland was first es-
tablished there were but few patrons
on the route. The boxes were num-
bered in regular order and the many
new homes along the route since its
establishment have necessitated num-
bering such as Box A, l b, etc. To
remedy the confusion which often re-
suits from the rather involved sys-
TEN the carrier, Mr.. Doran, and the
substitute carrier, Chauncey Stod-
dard, spent Tuesday in REMEMBERING
the boxes on the route. While OF
course no complications will arise
because of mail coming to the old
box numbers, patrons of the route
are requested by Postmaster Kaiser
to inform their correspondents Of
their new box numbers at the earliest
opportunity.
Later on the postmaster expects to
have all the boxes and posts repaint-
ed in a uniform color. Since most of
the boxes are on the line of the Pa
cific Highway, any possible beautifi-
cation will be welcome.

Reports Progress
on SiskiyOu Grade

In a report recently filed by State
Engineer Cantine with the state high
way commission progress on work in
southern Oregon is reported as fol-
lows:
"In the Siskiyou mountains the con-
crete construction work authorized
by the commission has been complet-
ed. We are shouldering the sides Of
the concrete pavement with gravel
and shaping the earth work adjacent
thereto. The crusher plant at the
summit of the mountains has been
installed for rocking that portion Of
the mountain which would be impas-
sable unless otherwise taken care Of.
"The plans for bridges at the Ash
land crossing, for which a tentative
appropriation has been set asiNe by
the commission, have been submitted
to the Southern Pacific, and we trust
that an agreement will be reached
between them and Jackson county
such that the masonry work may go
forward this fall"

Public Market
Offers Variety

The public market installed in the
Stoner building, the storeroom for
merly occupied by Patty's second
hand store, is now an established in
stitution and no shopping trip of the
housewife is complete without visit
at the market and an inspection of
the produce there. Several stalls
are taken by farmers and ranchers
of the districts surrounding Ashland.
Everything is kept scrupulously
clean, tables are covered with white
oilcloth, and nothing which will draw
flies exposed. The market is great
accommodation both to the house
wife and the grower. Good things
at the market this week include Gu
cumbers, peaches, apples, melons and
cantaloupes, goat meat, rabbits and
other meat, homemade bread and
pastries, all kinds of vegetables and
much other produce.
The indoor market is a great i'm
provement over the conditions which
existed about the former open-air
market at the corner of First street.

Scandal at The
Lyric Theatre

In "Hypocrites" Lois Weber aimed
to unmask the mean hypocracies Of
modern society. In Scandal she
selects Gossip, the favored guest at
so many of our social gatherings,
dresses him up as a fiendish monster
and makes him the motif of thor
oughly human drama.
Miss Weber attributes her idea to
Brisbane editorial, stating that to
sit behind the window of club fac
ing the avenue in a great city is to
hear more poisonous and dangerous
gossip in half an hour than may be
heard at a sewing circle during an
entire afternoon. So apparently Miss
Weber is putting it up to the idle
men who scott most at the tale-bear-
ing propensities of women.
1t is not entirely man-made scan
dal. Woman, too, contributes to the
false tales.
In matters of production the pic
ture is always artistic and sincerely
acted by Miss Weber and her COM
pany.
The Lyric will show this notable
play Sunday and Monday.

Klum Gets Busy
With Medford Boys

Medford Tribune, Sept. 13: The
first practice of the high school foot
ball squad will be held this after
noon under the direction of Coach
Klum. The first regular game will
be played early in October. Klum
drilled the Ashland high school team
several seasons, and always turned
out a winner. The same methods he
employed with them will be used on
the local squad-no smoking, no late
hours, and attention to business un-
til the season is over One of the
greatest failings of the local team
has been that it never began heavy
work until three days before game.

Found Many
Scales Incorrect

Chas. s. Hanson, sealer of weights
and measures for the southern Ore
gon district, was in the city Tuesday
testing number OF scales and weigh
ing machines. A great many of the
scales were found to be incorrect and
were tagged condemned for re-
pairs"
The owner of a scale which has
been condemned is liable to heavy
fine should he use the offending ma
chine before having it put into per-
feet balance.
Purchasers are advised always to
order foodstuffs or liquids by weight
or measure instead of money value,
then see that the scale balances (you
can force the merchant to allow you
to see his scale, as the law requires
that the scale be where the purchaser
Gin see what it registers).
Always make sure that the scale
rests at zero before the purchase is
put on. Merchs nts who deliberately
give wrong weights are few in Ash
land. but scales may get out of ad-
iustment and the owner will appre-
ciate your calling his attention to any
inaccuracy.
An invaluable little booklet of in
formation upon weights and measures
and correct methods of buying has
been published for the use and guild
ance of the public and may be had
free by application to the state bu-
reau. Address State Office of Weights
and Measures, State House, Salem,
Ore. Every housewife should write
for and study this booklet.

Siskiyou County
Repeals BOunties

The supervisors of Siskiyou county
will repeal the ordinance placing a
bounty of $3.50 on wildcats and coy
otes, according to the Redding Search
light. 1t is declared that the reason
for the removal of the bounty lies
with the fact that neighborlng coun-
ties in Oregon have no bounty, and
until they do a hardship is worked
upon Siskiyou counyt. While Jack
son county has coyote bounty other
counties which border on the Oregon
line may not have. 1t is hard to see
what especial effect this would have,
but presumably the varmints hear of
the fact that there is a price on their
heads in Siskiyou and hasten over to
be killed. The dispatch to the Search
light states that the bounty has been
in effect several years with no appre-
ciable decrease in the number of coy
otes.

yesterday afternoon, in the neighbor-
hood of the new crossing in the north
end of town. She turned the watches
over to Mr.. Moore and later they
came to Mayor johnson. A real mys-
terry, train robbery or theft was ad-
vanced as the reason for the strange
find, but all mystery was dispelled
when telegram was received from
the Wells-Fargo messenger on
train which told of the
losing of the watches near Ashland
Wednesday afternoon. According to
Mayor Johnson, the watches were
soaked in water and ruined.

Government
Engineer Here

John H. Whistler, engineer of the
U. S. reclamation service, and in
charge of the inspection work of the
Oregon cooperative department,
which has charge of expending $780,
600 furnished by the state and fed
eral governments for surveys of irri-
cation projects, is in the valley.
On Monday afternoon he visited
the Ashland and Talent districts, on
Tuesday the Dead Indian country, and
is spending the rest of the week in
other portions of the valley. Next
week his field force will be sent to
the valley for actual work.
Engineer Whistler will gather all
data available upon the various irri-
cation projects Of southern Oregon,
tabulated and correlate the same, and
turn them over to the reclamation
service for final decision. Allowing
a month for the field work, and the
usual slow movements of federal de-
partments, report upon the feasi-
bility and advisability of irrigation
should be available by March /.
Talent and Ashland are preparing
for the formation of an irrigation dis
trict, and will be ready fo" definite
business when the federal report is
made. There is also a strong prob
ability that district will be formed
to embrace the land adjacent to Med
ford. There is a growing sentiment
in favor of the district plan. Senti-
ment for irrigation is strong in Ash
land and Talent, being ahead of the
other sections of the valley in this
respect.
At the present time there are in
the neighborhood of $4,000 acres
signed up for irrigation, and this
amount will be raised to 10000
within the next ten days.

Local NIilitiaman
Makes State Team

Corporal George L. (Dobbin) Irwin
Of the Ashland company, Coast Ar
tillery Corps, has been chosen one
Of the fifteen-man team which will
represent Oregon in the national
matches at Jacksonville, Fla, in Octo-
Der. The men were picked from
among thirty men who made high
scores in the state match last week.
Corporal Porter of Ashland made ex-
ceptionally good scores in the state
shoot and was chosen as one of the
thirty to try out for the state team,
but was unable to remain away from
Ashland for business reasons. No
doubt he too would have made the
state team. Sergeant S. w. Pearson
OF Roseburg was high man in the
team trial shoot with score of 1139.
At the last national shoot Pearson
made the highest score competing
against the entire country, not only
militiamen but regulars and navy
marksmen. Twins score in the try
out was 1912, score which he has
often beaten in other trials. Cor
poral Chase of Medford was also
among those chosen to make the long
trip east.
Members OF the local company are
greatly elated over the success of
their representative and hope to see
him do some crack shooting in the
national meet. Teams from the reg
ular army, navy, colleges and other
military institutions will compete in
the Jacksonville shoot.
Last season the Oregon team
ranked third in the national matches,
but new ruling of the war depart
ment permits not more than six men
OF a team who have previously en-
tered a national contest to participate
again. The new men on the team
showed some good scores, however.
