K. F. Merchants
War Over Stamps

Klamath Falls merchants are hav-
ing hot time over the trading
stamp proposition. A petition was
circulated by the representative of
the stamp people, asking the legisla-
ture to vote against the proposed
stamp legislation, which puts a spec
ial tax on merchants using them. A
restaurant keeper got hold of the pc
tition and says he will hold it until
a majority Of the signers vote to have
it put back in circulation. The trad
ing stamp people threaten to make 1t
hot for the restaurant man and the
klamath Falls papers are full of the
controversy which is ensuing. A can
vas made by a newspaper revealed
the fact that hardly any of the mer-
chants believed the stamps to be a
good thing, but gave them in self
defense merely because "everybody's
doin' it,"
In all probability a canvas of Ash
land merchants who handle the
stamps would reveal the same state
of affairs here.

Pacific Highway
Election Tomorrow

While most of the special Pacific
highway fund of 100000 has been
expended, there still remains enough
for the grading of the Eagle Mill
hill, if the county board are enabled
to do the work early this spring, as
they desire
The county court has decided on
the so-called Billings route under the
railroad tracks. This plan has been
unanimously endorsed by the city
council. 1t involves using a narrow
strip of land now lying within the
city and belonging to the Billings
properties.
If the city undertakes the con-
demnation and the work on the road
is commenced, litigation can be
brought which would stop the work.
The suit can be long continued in the
courts and thus prevent the grading
of the hill at the expense of this spec
ial 100000 fund.
If the strip of land is set outside
the city at the election of February
IL by majority voting 'Yes," then
the county court can at once take all
steps necessary and no litigation can
stop the work, and the hill will be
graded early and the expenses will
be paid out of the 100000 fund.
The Billings interests will have the
same protection and will receive
compensation for any damages done,
whether the strip of land is left with
in the city or is set outside.
If the election is favorable-a ma
jority voting "Yes''-then the city of
Ashland will have no expense of liti-
cation or of construction, and there
need be no delay in the completing
of the Eagle Mill road.
II the election goes No." the work
will be delayed and probably not
done; or, if done, the city will be
liable for the expense of litigation,
for the Billings damages, and also for
the work done within the city-up-
ward of $4,000, and very likely more.
Every citizen should vote tomorrow
the matter is far too important to
neglect.

chance to see what no doubt will be
the two fastest and most closely con-
tested games of basketball Of the

ed Ashlanders in the high school
gymnasium, and if there is team in

it Is the Umpqua Valley boys. Rose
burg has defeated Eugene, Inde-
pendence, Corvallis, Newberg and
other strong northern teams and has
big fast bunch.
Ashland has fast team OF we'll
built youngsters who have yet to find
the team that can Outright them.
The passing of the local boys is i'm
proving every day and in Fraley and
Grisez the locals have two forwards
who are just about as clever as they
make them when it comes to hitting
baskets from any angle. And finally
Ashland has the fight which has
pulled many game out of the hole
in years gone by, during the last min
utes of play, and which will continue
to do so as long as the Ashland spirit
lives.
A close finish is expected and the
locals need the encouragement which
big crowd furnishes, All kinds of
special features will be staged be-
tween halves, and anyone who wishes
to get the red blood circulating in his
or her veins should come out to the
high school Thursday or Saturday
and get the tonic of some real excite
ment.
There will be good preliminaries
between Ashland and Talent teams,
starting at 1880 each evening. Autos
will run from Buffers, where seats

Medford Knights
At Crater Lake

The members of Taiisman lodge
No. 81, Knights of Pythias, of Med
ford, are 'rehearsing "The Lesson of
Friendship" to be given at an early
date this summer in the crater of
Wizard Island in Crater Lake. After
much consideration the order has de-
cided to stage this degree, which is
the degree of friendship, based on the
story of Damon and Pythias.
From two to four thousand knights
will doubtless be in attendance. The
Medford lodge will be the hosts.
There is not more suitable spot
in America to stage this degree and
it will be an event long remembered
by every knight who is so fortunate
as to be in attendance.

element at the time OF its discovery
a few weeks ago, is being developed
by Mr.. Enyart. He has stopped oper-
ations for a couple of days and is
planning the installation of heavy
machinery which will be necessary to
the proper development of the claim.
He is also securing leases on adjoin-
ing property along the supposed
course of the old creek bed which ia
supposed to be gold bearing. He is
making arrangements with the own
ers of the property whereby they will

Fire Destroys
Another Home

An empty residence on Mechanic
street owned by w. G. Prescott was
destroyed Monday about midnight,
the fire cutting the house and dam
aging 1t so far that rebuilding will
be impossible. Brick" Moody dis
covered the fire while on the way
home and tried to turn in an alarm
from the Winner street box, but the
bell failed to work. Brick then
sprinted to the station with the
news. 1t was discovered yesterday
that the wind had torn some shingles
off OF the fire tower and let the rain
in on the delicate mechanism of the
fire bell.
With the assistaice of some nearby
residents the firemen had a stream
on the fire before the volunteers be-
gan to arrive, but the wind famed
the blaze, and although the pressure
was good the fire was not conquered
until the house was practically de-
stroyed. The fire company had the
pleasure of wearing their new rubber
coats, respirators and so forth, and
some of the younger members seemed
to take delight in testing the water
proof qualities of the coats.
Nothing can be discovered concern
ing the origin of the fire.

Valley May Not
Get Sugar Factory

The outlook for a beet sugar fac
tory is steadily growing hazier.
When the movement was first started
it was thought that five thousand
acres would not be very hard to sign
up If the right spirit could be
aroused among the various organiza-
tions throughout the valley. The en-
thusiasm was not hard to arouse, but
when it came right down to brass
tacks it was found that the real diff
Guilty was, not in getting the farmers
to see that it would be,a good thing,
but to get them to put their names
to a contract which would bind them
to plant their land in beets for the
designated period. No doubt if the
movement had been started earlier
it would have been successfully con-
summated long ago, as the company's
expert says that there is plenty of
good land but the chief difficulty lay
In the fact that the farmers had near
ly all planted their best land and did
not wish to plow it up this year.
Only about half of the required
acreage will be signed up, according
to those at the head of the move
ment, but they also say that they are
sure that several thousand acres
could be secured for next year and
the factory men will no doubt be
asked to build this year with what. is,

Armed Citizenrv.

The suggestion that the people Of
the United States form clubs and COM
panies for rifle practice and familiar
lie themselves in the use Of weapons
in readiness for protection in case of
war is only new In the form of the
weapons in which we are asked to be-
come skilled. In an epistle to the sher-
LIZ Of London, dated June IL, 1349, 566
years ago, Edward III sets forth how
the people Of our realm, as well Of
good quality as mean have common
ly in their sports before these times
exercised their skill of shooting ar
rows; whence it is we'll known that
honor and profit have accrued to- our
whole realm, and to us, by the help
Of God, no small assistance in our
warlike acts. Now, however, the said
skill being, as 1t were, wholly laid
aside" the king commands the sheriff
to make public proclamation that
every one of the said city, strong in
body, at leisure times on holidays, use
In their recreations bows and arrows,
of pellets and bolts, and learn and ex-
erc1se the art of shooting, forbidding
all and singular on our behalf that
they do not after any manner apply
themselves to the throwing of stones,
wood or iron, handball, football, bum
dy ball, cambuck or cock-fghting, nor
such like vain plays which have no
profit in them" Cambuck or cam
mock was the ancient name for
hockey or shiny.

LIGHTNING Begins on Time.

A bolt of lightning, shooting through
an 18-inch stone wall at the home of
William Reese, near Valley Forge,
Pa, tore hole in the building as large
as a mans head, struck a GRANDPA
Tiers clock in room where the fam
lily was gathered and threw the glass
door of the clock across the room,
shattering it into thousand pieces
over the head of the farmer, who was
lying on couch.
The bolt, stunning his oldest daugh-
ter, rendering the younger daughter
deaf ano shocking all in the room, dis
charged itself through the lower por-
ton of the house, and a dog which lay
on the floor was killed.
The works of the clock were dam
aged and tho wood splintered.
