Cantine Reports
An Understanding

A great deal of interest was mani.
tested at Monday evenings CONNER.
cial Club meeting in the report oi
the committee on the Billings hill
matter. That the matter is one oil
great importance to Ashland is now
fully realized by the people of the
city, and the reading of telegram
to the state engineer and the answer
was received with marked approba-
tion. According to sentiments ex-
pressed by members Monday night
the matter now rests mainly with the
county court.
1t is believed that the compromise
spoken of in the letter from Mr..
Cantine is for a sixty-foot span,
which in the estimation of members
of the Commercial Club committee
would be sufficient.
Signed by Mayor Johnson and
President Newcombe, the following
telegram went to Engineer Cantine
Saturday:
"Public sentiment strongly in fa'
vor of compromise on sixty-foot span
under railroad and immediate con-
struction of grade. Present condi-
tion dangerous. Both county and
state money available, We urge i'm
mediate completion of this necessary
unit of the Pacific highway"
In response to this telegram, En-
gineer Cantine wrote the following
letter to Mayor Johnson;
"Your telegram this date in re-
gard to crossing negotiations with
the Southern Pacific Company at
Ashland hill, beg to advise we have
reached common understanding
with the engineer OF the railroad
company this date, which believe
will be very satisfactory to the coun-
ty court and the citizens of your city.
The railroad people, Mr.. H. L. Lull,
assistant engineer, have informed us
that Superintendent Burckhalter will
endeavor to obtain the approval OF
the executive officers at San Fran
cisco at the earliest possible date. l
have given detailed progress report
In a communication to the county
court of Jackson county this date,
which please refer to for further in
formation and advice"

A lengthy epistle was read Tues
day evening from state health off
cials regarding an awful peril which
threatens the public, that of catching
some contagious disease from vagrant
germs left on bubbling fountain
bulbs by persons in tie habit of 'bit-
ing the cup" Since the Ashland
fountains are so scientifically con-
structed as to eliminate any possibil-
ity of the drinker getting his lips
around the cup, no action was
thought necessary.

WAR SUMMARY:
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. special: Five
hundred and se%venty-nine men per-
ished by the sinking of the British
battleship Formidable in the English
channel on New Years day, accord
ing to the latest estimates. OF the
crew of 1870 men, POI were saved, a
cutter with fifty living abroad having
reached land since the first casualty
list was compiled. Many of the sur
|yivors of the Formidable were landed
at Brizham Devon, others at Lyme
Regis Dorsetshire, which indicates
that the disaster occurred at the
western end of the English channel,
although the admiralty has not Civ
en- the location, nor has it made def
mite statement with reference to the
real cause.
The fighting in Belgium and north
ern France has come TO halt so far
as spectacular operations are con-
cerned.
In Russian Poland and Galicia
there is no actual change in the sit
uation as it has been for several days
past. The Ottoman troops in the
Caucasus have crossed the Russian
frontier at three different points and
soon will be under command of Field
Marshal Baron Won der Goltz, the
German officers, who spent many
years in Turkey building up the OF
toman army and who recently was
sent to Constantinople TO aid the
sultan.
In an orange book issued at the
instance of the Russian minister for
foreign affairs at Petrograd, it is
charged that the independence of the
Ottoman empire vanished definitely
from the moment that the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau took
refuge in the D%ardanelles," and that
the German ships under German
command made IAN attack on the
peaceful shores of an empire which
was maintaining perfect ~neighborly
relations with the Turks.
Count Tisza, the Hungarian pre-
mier. according to a Berlin dispatch
has affirmed that mutual confidence,
love and respect exist between Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany.
Fearing a possible attempt al a
landing by the Germans on the east
coast of England, Yorkshire is ZEN
rolling a corps of civic guards and
volunteers, with headquarters at Hull
for self protection.

WINTER FEEDING
Over 81 900 Head of Sheep Are In
Belle FOurche Valley.

Belle Fourche. Jan. AT the
present time there are $1,000 head
of sheep winter feeding in the Belle
Fourche valley. The number would
have been greater had there not been
a partial financial stringency early in
the winter, preventing many stock
men who would have had their herds
there from properly financing their
operations. These sheep are being
fattened for market and their ship
ment will commence in about ter
days.
Everything points to the Belle
Fourche valley becoming one of the
greatest winter feeding points in the
country, as conditions there are idea
for producing that result. In mos
other places, ii is either a case OIL
shipping in the stock or the feed, bu1
in the Belle Fourche valley district
all the requirements of the industry
are present. The nearby ranges are
the breeding grounds of the stocl
and the valley itself will furnish al
almost unlimited supply of alfalfa
and corn and other fodder suitable
for winter feeding. The industry II
growing by leaps and bounds and il
destined in a short time to become {
source OF immense revenue to tn,
Black Kills country.

FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
Says Filipinos VIII Not he Ready foi
Self Government for Generation.

Washington, Jan. 4. - Former
President William II. Taft told the
senate committee working on the adj
ninistration bill for Philippine in
dependence that the people Of the
islands, i'm his opinion, would be un-
fitted for self government for the
next thirty years-probably for the
next half century. Democratic party
promises of independence, he assert
ed, had been fruitful Of unrest, TO
which he attributed the recent revo-
|%lutionary disturbance.
Neither President Mckinley,
Roosevelt, nor himself, he asserted,
contemplated turning the Philippines
over to the people before they were
educated for self government. He
quoted from President Wilson's writ
ing that self government is not a
mere form of institution, but a form
of character.
We cannot present the Filipino
people with a character" Mr.. Taft
said. 1T must be acquired. You
cannot make e a people in one
generation. The time that will be
necessary to train the Filipino people
for self government is the time that
will be necessary to make them an
English speaking people.
IF you give those people indepen-
dence now or by 1920. either a Dia2
would arise in the Philippines OF they
would get into a condition that
caused the fall of Diaz in Mexico"

Dakota shall have equal privileges in
treating patients in said hospital.
Sec. Is provides that the board of
trustees may establish a training
school for nurses. This does not
mean any additional expense. 1t
means that some of the young ladies
in the county can become qualified to
do nursing in the homes and at a
price that can be afforded by the peo-
pie. One does not always need a $25
nurse and by calling on the training
school a $40, SIS or 500 nurse can
be secured, according to the amount
of experience she has had. You do
not always need a trained surgical
nurse on-every medical case, but you
do need something better than being
merely sat up with"
Sec. 16 means that room may be
fitted up in the basement Of the hos
pital, away from other patients, for
the examination, observation and
treatment OF many cases of acute in
sanity. Wouldn't that be better than
having father, mother, son, daughter,

than as criminals?-R. s. Westaby.
