London, Dec. 23.-It is unoficially
reported that a martial law declara-

no confirmation is available, there is
evidence of growing uneasiness in
Athens over the possibility of Bull

ONLY MINOR ENGAGEMENT

The Russian bombardment of Var
ma, Bulgaria, is apparently cleared by
statements from both sides that it
was a minor naval engagement in
which shore batteries took part. A
large Russian feet, however, is said
to be in the vicinity of Varna.
VIOLENT ATTACKS IN VOSGES
Hartmansweiler-Kopf is again the
subject of contention. The possession
of the summit of this mountain is dis
puted as closely by the military forces
as those writing official statements.
The Associated Press correspondent
was called upon last April to decide
the relative positions of the opposing
sides. The Germans admit retirement
from the summit, which they assert
was occupied since April. The French
claim materially bettered positions
though the Germans have re-occupied
some trenches. The French claim thy
have partially forestalled the contem-
plated German offensive in the Vos-
ges.

Floods Prevent
Sending Delegate

The mining men and business men
generally of the entire state are get
ting aroused over the proposed abol-
ishment of the Bureau of Mines.
Delegations will be sent from all
over Oregon to fight the abolishment
raction at Salem. Grants Pass is
sending several business and mining
men. At Mondays meeting of the
Commercial Club c. B. Watson re-
ported on the mining meetings which
have been held in the last week and
the club decided that the poposed
abolishment of the mines bureau by
the state legislature would mean a
serious setback to mining in Oregon.
1t was decided to send a delegate to
Salem, but the floods in the Sacra-
mento Valley, which have delayed
the trains almost twenty hours, pre-
vented the sending of anyone. How
ever, the club has sent notice oi
their resolution favoring the retain
ing of the bureau.

Select Audience at
Council Meeting

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday evening with what was
probably the most select audience
that has attended their deliberations
for some time. After the usual pre-
liminaries the council settled down
to business. The report of the COM
mittee on city moneys was favorable
both in the instance of checking the
recorders books and those of the city
treasurer.
The petition of George Stephenson
to rebuild the storeroom on East
Main which was burned recently was
held over until today's meeting.
Dutch Emery's bill for painting
the wheels of the fire truck was dis
allowed, some of the councilmen hav-
ing discovered that the swork had
been delegated to an apprentice who
had failed to get the paint on in an
even presentable manner.
Councilman Ashcraft reported fire
plugs installed on Grant street and
recommended that one be installed
on North Main street near the Bill
lings place.
The public market project was dis
cussed at some length and action will
be taken on the proposition in the
near future.
Matters in regard to water shut
offs were discussed and it was decid-
ed that hereafter such valves be in
stalled.
Resolutions regarding the condem-
nation of land along the right of way
of West Fork street were read. An
ordinance dealing with auctioneers
was given a reading.
Mayor Johnson gave talk on the
advertising of Ashland in connection
with the mineral springs project. He
endorsed the idea of increasing the
Commercial Club membership to
1000 by a strenuous campaign and
believed that to be the best way to
secure immediate action. He be-
spoke the cooperation of the city
fathers in the movement.
The matter of cutting out the large
tract of poison oak along the new
scenic drive was brought up by the
audience and was well received.
The members then invited the audi.
ence to take his hat and get out, and
went into executive session, after
calling another meeting for today.

Narrow Escape in
Auto Accident

Mrs. II. E. Allison had narrow
escape from a serious accident when
the car which she was driving skid
ded off the raod, through railing
and down the embankment at a cul-
vert just the other side of Frederick,
yesterday evening. Mrs. Allison
and friend were going toward Tai
ent when the accident occurred, and
it was only stroke of luck that the
car remained right side up in its
plunge down the embankment. 1t
missed going over the culvert by
mere matter of incles, and had 1t
done so it would have turned up side
down, probably seriously injuring
both the lady occupants. The car
was hauled up on the road by res
cue party from the local garage and
after being Strengthened up a little
was run In on its own power.

Fire Destroys
Fine Residence

Fire destroyed what is known as
the DeLap place on Otis street, back
of Helman's baths, at an early hour
this morning. Owing to the fact that
there is no fire plug in the vicinity,
the fire company was unable to save
the house and spent all of their ef-
forts in saving the barn and out
buildings.
The houes has not been occupied
for some time and was, no doubt,
used as hang-out by hoboes, some
of whom set fire to the place this
morning. The house was two-story
affair and plastered and was valued
at about $4,000. w. G. Sanderson is
the owner. 1t was insured for $1,250
with the Billings Agency.
The fire truck was not called out
until the whole place was mass of
flames, but made quick run
through the mud to the scene.
Immediately after returning to the
station the truck was called to the
Smith place at the corner Of Eighth
and c streets, where flue was burn
Ing out. No dangerous developments
ensued, however.

Polytechnic Will
Close June lSt

1t has been definitely decided by
the management of the Polytechnic
Business College that they are no
longer justified in maintaining a
business college in Ashland.
The grounds for this decision are
twofold: First, expenses of running
the institution up to Polytechnic
standards are far in excess of in
come being derived. with no pros
poets of this condition being altered
before late fall term, when the
deficit would have become too heavy
a load for the institution to bear.
Secondly, while commercial work
In the high school does not usually
offset business college enrolment
when the field is unquestionably ad-
equate, in the small field It takes all
available prospects to make either a
success.
The management therefore feels
that Ashland no longer offers a field
for the local Polytechnic College, and
will withdraw on June /, after hav-
ing made every effort to have those
holding paid tuition make use OF
same. The school is being run to
June l with this end In view.

Bill Asks Funds
For SiskiyOu Grade

Salem, Feb. 3.-Representativ
w. l. Vawter has introduced the fol-
lowing bill at Salem:
"A bill for an act to authorize the
highway commission to complete the
Pacific highway over the Siskiyou
mountains in Jackson county, to con-
meet with the Pacific highway under
construction in Siskiyou county, Cali
fornia, to the Oregon state line, and
authorizing the highway commission
to use funds belonging to the state
road fund for such purpose
"Be it enacted by the people Of
the state of Oregon:
Whereas, Jackson county has ex-
pended approximately the sum of
100000, under the direction of the
state highway commission, in partial
ly building and constructing a road
and highway on the line of the Pa
cific highway to connect with the
Pacific highway under construction
in California, and
Whereas, 1t will require approx.
mately the additional sum of $175,-
600 to 100000 to complete said
stretch of road, and
Whereas, said road is part of the
highway in process of construction
connecting the highways between
California, on the south, and Wash
ington, on the north.
Now, therefore, be it enacted by
the people of the state of Oregon,
THAT the state highway commits
sion be and is hereby authorized and
directed to aid Jackson county in
completing the Pacific highway over
the SislIiyou mountains, said high
way commission to use in any one
year not to exceed 20 per centum Of
the amount raised under Chapter No.
S39 of the General Laws of Oregon
for 1913, or any other law or act
passed in lieu or substitution there
Of, and providing for funds for high
way construction in the state, the
amount, however, to be expended on
said highway over the Sishiyou
mountains not to exceed in the ag-
gregate the amount expended there
on by Jackson county"
From present appearances it would
seem that in this bill lies the mair
hope of having the Siskiyou grad,
paved by the time heavy traffic starts
in the summer.

Boy on Bicycle
Hit by Auto

Francis Farmhouse, thirteen-year-
old son of Jack Barnthouse, was hit
by an auto driven by G. s. Butler
yesterday noon. The boy had left
home on his bicycle, intending to go
out to the high school to attend man
ual training class, and had stopped
in front of Patty's store. He started
down toward town from here, accord
ing to a bystander, and then turned
to go out the Boulevard, neither see
ing nor hearing the car driven by Mr..
Butler which was coming down Main
street. Butler had seen the boy but
supposed that he was going on down
on the right hand side and was un-
able to slow up in the least when the
lad turned across in front. The
front wheel struck the bicycle, throw
ing the boy with terrific force to the
pavement. 1t is supposed that the
wheels passed over. the boys legs
but no one could definitely tell as the
affair was over in an instant. The
injured lad was hurried to the Sani-
tarium, where it was found that his
skullhwas fractured, no bones being
broken, however.
The lad did not recover conscious
ness until late in the evening, but is
doing well today and high hopes are
held for his recovery. Mrs. Butler
was in the automobile at the time OF
the accident and both she and Mr
Butler are broken up over the affair
