Tuesday evenings council meeting
was the briefest that has been held
for many moons. That is, brief as
far as the public is concerned, as only
about three-quarters of an hour COW
cred the routine business, after which
the body went into executive session
and the spectators were invited to
remove themselves.
After the reading of the minutes,
Councilman j. B. Ware, who recently
made flying trip to the San Fran
cisco exposition, made a plea for a
better exhibit of southern Oregon
products at the Oregon and horticul-
tural buildings. The matter of max
| ing an appropriation to help in max.
ing Jackson county's and Ashland s
exhibit worthy one was taken under
consideration by the council and
some action will be taken.
Recorder Gillette read Attorney
Moore's opinion on the matter of the
legality Of condemning barns and
other unsanitary buildings which for
one reason or another the council
deems to be nuisances.
A petition was read from ]. ].
Morton and others in regard to the
purchase OF the tract of>land on Wa
ter street owned by the city and
which the petitioners wish to pur.
chase for the purpose of erecting q
floGr mill. 1t was referred to the
finance committee.
Three communication in regard ia
police matters were read and are dis
cussed elsewhere.
A petition was read asking that the
council appropriate fifty dollars pei
month to the Chautauqua Park Club
to be used for upkeep of the Chau.
tauqua park. The matter was looked
upon favorably and will no doubt be
granted, as a provision was made al
the recent election for an appropria,

Ware Says Jackson
Exhibit is Poor

=, J. B. Ware returned the first of
20 week from San Francisco and at
" h<o. v evenings council meeting
~ tirring plea, for aid for a
be, ~, m county exhibit at the
Wara Vres, .. 49, at tn the fair, %dt,o- Mr.
hibit at tn, To9 depot exhibit build
ing than at che exposition. In his
estimation none of the Oregon coun-
ties are in it with the California or
Canada exhibits and he advocates i'm
mediate action. The county court
has appropriated a small amount and
Medford commercial bodies have done
likewise. The council takes the mat
ter under consideration and will no
doubt take action upon the matter.
While Mr.. Frohbach is doing the best
he can with the material at hand, he
is pleading for more material for the
exhibit, and it is necessary that some
thing be done or Jackson county will
be out of the running. Mr.. F'rohbach
in a recent letter states that some
thing out of the ordinary is all that
will attract attention among the enor-
nous number of mediocre exhibits.
and says that he has plan in view
for an attraction which will catch the
people but will require more money
than at his disposal to carry it out.
All of the Ashland visitors to the ex-
position have remarked the ineffect-
iveness of the Jackson exhibit, and it
is certain that something must be
done if the valley hopes to attract
many people through the fair. The
Oregon building on the outside is one
of the most impressive, but inside is
not one-third as effective as it could
be made.

To Brother-in-laW

d. M. Horn, a Hornbrook man well
known in Ashland, was one of the
principals in an unusual surgical OPP
Grafton at Portland last Friday. A
quart of blood was transferred from
the body of Mr. Horn to the veins Of
his brother-in-law, Alfred Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson has been sufferer from
anemia for several years and the in
fusion of blood is expected to make
a material change for the good in his
health. The veins of the two men
were connected for more than an
hour. Mr.. Horn is big man and
made record as an athlete during
his college days. He is a member of

Chickens are
All Laying Now

Chickens are getting more and
more valuable every day A certain
lady was seeking to purchase some
chickens for a church dinner the 9th
er day and was surprised to find that
chicken owners were loath to part
with their fowls. The reason for this
fact was apparent, however, when one
gentleman informed her that he had
'thirty-three hens and was getting
thirty eggs day. Another chicken
owner reported thirty-two eggs from
forty hens. When the price of eggs
is considered it is no wonder that the

Peg o. My Heart"

A Celtic sunbeam, breathing the
exhilarating atmosphere OF old Kill

portrayed in J. Hartley Manners ex-
uberant comedy for the Vining Thea
tre Monday, March 22, direct from a
seven months run in Chicago, with
the identical production and company
intact.
Truly refreshing Is the character
of the buoyant spirited Peg, and most
popular Of all stage heroines has she
proven, veritable whirlwind of nat
ural enthusiasm and ingenuousness.
New York audiences found her equal
ly as admirable as did Chicago and
scored the longest run ever achieved
in this country theatrically. The en-
gagement was for 700 performances
of which GOA were credited to Lau-
rette Taylor and were uninterrupted,
while the last ninety-six were made
without the original star. A glowing
tribute has been paid to the popular
ity of Peggy o'Neil at the Garrick
Theatre in Chicago, and right up to
the finish of the engagement found
the theatre doing capacity business,
but contracts for other attractions,
made months ahead, that had been
pushed back to allow this unprece-
dented hit TO continue. forced the

property owners who paid the gem
eral road tax levied in 1913 may have
same refunded to them by sending a
bill of same to the county clerk. The
number of the tax receipt should be
attached, if convenient.
This refund comes as a result of

Petition Council in
Regard to Police

Three petitions relating to police
affairs were presented to the city
council at Tuesdays meeting. The
first was from the hackers of the
Fourth street mission and was signed
by Lawyer Lemery. This requested
investigation of the alleged breaking
up of religious services by Officer
Wright. 1t asked that the blame for
the affair be placed where it belonged
and stated that Officer Wright had
said that he was acting under orders
from the chief of police. When in
terviewed Chief Porter stated that he
was in bed at the time, not having
recovered from the recent assault
upon his person and had given no
orders. He said that his understand
ing of the affair was that Wright and
Winner had promised to call some of
the transients when a freight pulled
out so that they could make the train.
The mission people have been in the
habit of gathering the men from the
Fourth street station for mission SER
vices and on this evening some of the
unemployed gentry had requested the
police officers to call them for the
train.
. The second petition was from ex-
Patrolman Atterbury, demanding an
Investigation of all the police records
during the time he was on the force.
Mayor Johnson ruled that this matter
must be brought up through a court
and that the council had no power to
take action upon such a request.
The third petition was from the
owner and employees of Curtis restau-
rant and was a plea for police protec-
tion. According to the petition, a
gang of young fellows had ended up
at Curtis restaurant after a trip to
the city of the swinging doors to the
north and were in a sad state of in
toXication. The restaurant people
stated that the young men got toe
boisterous and that Patrolman Winner
was unable to handle the situation
and that when the chief of police was
phoned for he refused to come down
The restaurant people requested that
some provision be made for protec-
tion in the future. On this evening
Chief Porter was in bed under doc
tors orders and told Winner to handle
the matter to the best of his ability
Winner seems to have handled the
matter in a diplomatic manner and
no one was injured in any way. We
might venture to surmise that had
there been a wholesale arrest of the
crowd involved considerable trouble
would have resulted.

The supreme court of the United
States has recently handed down de
cisions of great Importance in the en-
forcement of the meat inspection and
live stock quarantine laws. The meat
inspection law provides for the in
spection of meat and meat food prod
ucts before they enter interstate COM
MERGE.
Among the provisions of this act Is
one which prohibits anyone from un-
lawfully destroying, or altering marks,
or other Identification devices which
are required to be placed upon the
meat or the containers.
Some parties in Kansas City, Kan,
broke a government seal on car of
meat and the lower court held that the
meat inspection act related alone to
those engaged in the business Of pre-
pairing meats for transportation and
the carrying of such meats in inter-
state transportation. The supreme
court reversed this decision and held
that the provision regarding identified
ton devices applies to every person,
firm or corporation, or officer, agent,
or employe thereof, no matter whether
engaged in the interstate Transports
ton Of the meats or not. This deci-
sion will materially aid the govern

The department of agriculture at
Washington has just issued a state
ment of interest to retailers general
ly, in which it says, in substance, that
there is little likelihood of a shortage
OF foodstuffs in spite of price agita-
ton.
The 1914 wheat crop of the United
States was estimated to be S91, 200, 900
bushels, according to the department.
The estimated surplus carried over
from the 1913 crop was about 10000
900 bushels. There was, therefore, q
total available supply of 967. 900, 900
bushels. AS the normal annual per
capita consumption of wheat in the
United States is about SO bushels,
520,000,0O0 bushels would meet our
normal domestic requirements for
food; in addition, 9O,0OO,0Oo bushels
are required annually for seeding
610,000,00O bushels, therefore, should
supply the normal domestic demand.
This would leave surplus of 357 ,OOO,-
600 bushels. OF this surplus about

ment in the strict enforcement of the

hibits the interstate movement of live
stock from any territory Quarantined

under certain conditions prescribed by
him.
The district court at Kansas City
Mo-. in the case of United States VS..
Nixon, ct al, construed the act not to
apply to receivers of railroad compan-
les, for the reason that they were not
mentioned in the statute. The SUI
preme court reversed this decision,
and held that the amendment to the
original act was intended to make the
remedy as broad as the evil which was
sought to be cured, and that the law,
as amended, applied to any common
carrier engaged in the interstate
transportation of live stock.
This decision is regarded of great
Importance in the enforcement of the
law enacted for the protection of the
