Sweeney Demands
$35,OOO For Extras

Regarding the settlement of the
Sweeney claims for extras on the con-
struction of the SisFiyou section of
the Pacific highway, former Governor
West, who represents the Portland
banks who backed Sweeney in his
contract, said before his departure
north:
"Mr Sweeney was given a claim
voucher, duly signed and approved
by the engineers for the amount they
concede due him, calling for approxi-
mately $35 900. He cashed this vouch-
er, as he had cashed all previous
vouchers, at the Portland bank.
When it was presented by the bank
payment was refused by the county
because Mr. Sweeney would not sign
waiver for other claims he alleged
due. The bank has nothing to do
with these claims, but demands pay
ment of the voucher The county
court admits they owe the amount of
the voucher under the Bowlby settle
ment.
There is nothing for the bank to
do, if the county continues to refuse
payment of the authenticated claim,
but to bring suit for the money called
for in the voucher, suit that cannot
otherwise result except in an order to
pay it.
"The disallowed claims of Mr.
Sweeney for extras have nothing to
do with the payment of this voucher.
This is up to the engineers, the coun-
ty court and Mr. Sweeney"
Both the state commission and the
county court are likely to abide by
Engineer Bowlby's settlement, allow
ing approximately $4,000 for extras
on the SskiyoIl contract. Mr.. Bowlby
considers this settlement a liberal
one. Mr.. Sweeney demands an addi-
tional $4,000 for extras. There is
at present due Mr.. Sweeney 5,575
under the Bowlby settlement.

State school authorities throughout
Oregon are cooperating with the
State Board of Forestry and Oregon
Forest Fire Association in carrying
forest fire lessons to public school
pupils before the 1915 danger season
opens. Over seventy thousand little
booklets are being distributed con-
tanning a story entitled "The Friends
of the Forest" written by e. T. Allen,
which weaves into attractive story
form, with boy and squirrel as he
roes, the age-old prevalence of fire
in these states, the struggles Of the
trees for seif-preservation and the
interest of men and children in our
forest resources.

Mystery Surrounds
Gun Set BY Trail

To trip over a wire strung across
a mountain trail, setting off a rifle
which was cunningly hid in the un-
derbrush and the bullet from which
passed within few inches of his
knee was the experience OF a South
Dakota man who was visiting in Ash
land about three weeks ago. The
visitor, accompanied by a local man
whom he was visiting were going over
the trail which goes to the Ashland
mine, branching off above the forks
of the Billings road. The Dakota
man was in the lead and tripped over
a tightly strung piano wire which was
so fine as to be invisible. The wire
set off A Winchester which was
set beside the trail and the discharge
passed close enough so that he could
feel the breeze. The gun was set at
the level of a mans knee. For what
purpose it was put there can only be
surmised. One theory advanced by
the discoveries was that the person
who set the gun was working on a
gold pocket and had this arranged as
a signal. 1t hardly seems possible
that it could have been set for an an
imal as it was pointed too low. AT
any rate the affair remains a mystery.
The gun may be claimed by the owner
by calling at the office and dispeling
the mystery which surrounds the set
ting of what appears to be a murder
Gus trap.

Officers Chosen
To Manage Band

The members of the Ashland band
perfected business organization at
last Friday evenings rehearsal. Will
liam Loomis was elected president of
the revived organization, Frank Jor-
dan vice-president and Clark Bush
secretary-treasurer. These three gem
tlemen form an executive committee
which has the management of the
band under their control. Following
the granting of financial assistance
by the city council Commercial Club
and park commission, the band has
commenced upon a season of revived
enthusiasm. A director will be hired
in the near future and it Is expected
that number of new members will
be added. Several men are being con-
sidered for the position of director.
Sunday afternoon the band full
filled advance notices of a concert in
the park, which was announced in
last weeks paper, despite the fact
that the announcement proved to be
unauthorized. Although having no
chance to prepare a concert program,
the organization rendered sereral
pieces in a very creditable manner
under the direction of E. R. Law
renee.
After a few rehearsals under a
new director the band will give week
ly concerts in the park, a feature
which will draw big crowds from
down the valley besides being largely
attended by Ashland people.

sands OF these pictures will be thus
mailed out by strangers this summer
and every one OF them should be
made to advertise our springs.
