Electric Light Bonds Are
Overwhelmingly Defeated

$4,000 for a reservoir on the top of
Crowson hill and $4,000 for the
plant Itself
He showed that the city had been
furnishing current to motor users for
" a cent per kilowatt hour, which
cost the city 1.5 to produce. He fur
ther showed that the city had been
losing on the heating rate All this
from the competition. He produced
the tentative contract with the COM
pany, which provided for the sale of
current to the city, so that current
could be sold FOR heating and motive
power at a profit.
A question was asked concerning
meters, and it was developed that
there was great deal Of waste in
the city, and that, should competition
be eliminated, meters could be uni
versally installed in the city, thereby
making rates cheaper for almost
everybody and eliminating the pres
ent proposition of one person paying
for another's waste.
He stated that the power company
had business of some s1,10O per
month, which would be turned over
to the city naturally with the sur
render Of the business here.
Toward what seemed to be the end
OF the meeting Mr.. Flynn of the
Rogue River Public Service Corpora
tion asked for the floor, adding with
some heat a personal address to Mr..
Ware that the Public Service Corpo-
ration had not had square deal.
Mr.. Ware replied with flat denial of
everything, together with Mr.. Flynn's
right to speak. Before seating he
managed to get few words in edge
ways, purporting that his company's
rates were chea er, at which Mr., Ma
lone took the part of the California
Oregon Power Company and succeed
ed in delivering a short address be-
fore being requested not to start
free-for-all. Mr.. Blanchard, attorney
for Mr.. Flynn, gave a short address,
but was ruled down by the chairman,
Mr.. Ware.
The meeting broke up very peace
ably at about II o'clock.

Ashland Is Made
Validating Point

In accordance with the Southern
Pacific's promises to get behind Ash
land in the springs deal, Ashland has

cts validated and go east direct with
out stopping at Portland or San Fran
cisco.

the agent for the Transcon-
tinental Passenger Association, and
will attend to the work Of validation.

Forest Fires
Do Much Damage

Forest fires are very numerous,
owing to the hot weather OF the past
week. Fire destroyed some 200 acres
of good timber southeast of the Sterl-
ing mine Sunday afternoon, only TAX
ing a period of four hourse to do its
destruction. A hign wind was re-
sponsible for its rapid spread. A
great many men were rushed from
Medford to the scene, and it was un-
der control within few hours. Fire
fighters were paid at the rate of 25
cents an hour from the time of hiring.
A big fire was reported in the
Butte Falls district last Monday but
is we'll controlled at present.
West of Talent a small fire started
on the mountain, but was soon
checked. On the south side of the
Siskiyous, along Foots and Evans
creeks, fires have been raging. The
Cow Creek canyon country is also
Not only forest fires have been re-
ported, however, for big grass fire
got a good start on the east side of
Bear creek about three miles north
of Ashland last Friday. Many fire
fighters worked at it to keep the
flames from taking fences and homes,
and as a result only half mile of
fence on the Louis Werth place was
burned up. 1t really resulted in a
great deal of good, for it destroyed
4 great deal of foxtall seed and
burned off lot of poison oak.

son left for Utah today to take his
position in the Brigham Young Uni
versity at Provo. Professor Kraus

Palmerlee On
AShland'S Resources

Another of Ashland's resources
overlooked and abused and neglected
these many years-is none other
than the mountain highway to Cra-
ter Lake, the Dead Indian Road"
Not a name of beauty nor an attract
i've one to be sure, but the road itself
is far from being what the name
would suggest.
Why not use what we have-not
only because we have it, but because
it is the best there is? Why hesi-
tate to do what we know needs to
be done, what everyone wants done,
and thing we can afford?
Germany can build miles and miles
of paved road to get fortytwo CEN
timeter gun in place to destroy life
and beauty. For a small sum we can
build road to new life and beauties
that Germany can not buy at any
price.
If a man knew there was pearl
buried in his back yard he would get
shovel and get busy. "The Lake
of the Woods" is a pearl six miles
over the county line, nestled among
the mountains with old Mount Nc
Laughlin, snow-capped and majestic,
in the background. This lake is
about two miles long by three-fourths
mile wide, of clear clean water, ideal
for boating, bathing and fishing. 1t
is surrounded by thousands of acres
of luscious huckleberries, no finer
fruit in the world, no finer place to
camp while picking them. The writ
er would make the whole trip for a
single huckleberry pie, such as moth
er tried to make.
Just go after the road, then those
fish. deer, bear,
grouse, mountain quail, ducks, geese,
and best water in the world, pure air
for couple of weeks, then back to
work with the wrinkles all ironed
out, youth renewed and q feeling that
life is not such a drudgery after all.
pity some of you who don't know
what good time is, when the uni
verse and your very front yard are
'ull of it,
The Commercial Club propose to
build the first unit of this road which
'uns from the Jackson-Klamath line
o Lake of the Woods. This can be
lone at a much less expense than
most people think. The soil is a nat
lral roadbed, the principal work be-
ng to remove the rocks and stumps.
there are no heavy grades to climb
nd no expensive grading to be done.
md yet this road from Ashland to
'rater Lake is not excelled in South
rn Oregon for scenic beauty, no 9TH
r road can be built and maintained
t so little expense, no other road
ffords such excellent camping places
r better hunting and fishing.
Passing Lake of the Woods and
ding via Pelican Bay through the
reat upper klamath Basin to Crater
AXE is the shortest road we have to
hat great attraction.

USSher'S Brother
Wounded at Van

W. w. USHER of this city has re-
ceived word that his brothers wife
has been killed at Van, Turkey, and
that his brother, C. D. USHER, was
lying in hospital badly wounded.
The revolt of the Armen'ans was
due to a demand of the Turkish gov
ernment for 5000 Armenian recruits
to be sent to the front in the present
European embodiment, the inability
of Van to supply them, and the harsh
measures taken by the government
to enforce its demands. DR.. USHER
accepted the futile office of interces-
sor between the two.
Discussing the situation, press dis
patches say: THE 600-year reign
of the Turk has been brought to an
end, for the present at least, in both
the town and vilayet of Van, which
have passed under Russian rule, fol-
lowing an Armenian revolt. The vii
ayet of Van has an area of about 15,-
600 square miles, with a population
of several hundred thousand.
"Hostilities began April twentieth
with rifle and cannon fire on the bus
iness center and Armenian quarter.
Fifteen Armenian riflemen, rein
forced at times by 1900 youths armed
with pistols or hand grenades,
manned eighty barricaded houses,
connected by trenches and mud walls
Ammunition was scarce, but Profess
sor Menassian Effendi, head of the
Normal School and graduate of
Yale's Sheffield School of Science,
cleverly transformed such chemicals
as were at hand and manufactured
smokeless and black powder, while
mechanics turned brass cartridge
shells. Menassian's boys band
heartened the fighters with continual
music. Women and children carried
ammunition and food and water.
Fourteen-year-old Neville USHER and
his recently organized boy scouts did
heroic service in extinguishing fires,
reporting and carrying sick and
wounded and enforcing sanitary reg !
ulations among 1000 Armenian refu-
gees, who were overcrowding the |
mission.
"All the American missionaries
worked ceaselessly and effectively.
Miss Caroline Sullivan organized and
took charge OF a hospital annex for
cases of measles. Miss Gertrude Rog-
ers and Miss Elizabeth USHER helped
Miss Bond, superintendent Of the hos
pital, where there were always 15O
patients for a fifty-patient capacity.
Mr.. Yarrow discharged multitude
of administrative duties, assisted by
Mrs. Yarrow and Mrs. ]. c. Reynolds,
the veteran of the station, having
lived there fortyfour years without
energy or enthusiasm.
Besides these there were, as sharers
of the dangers and tolls of the siege,
the eight children of the Usshers and
Yarrows and Miss Knapp, a visitor
from the Bitlis mission.
