Local Syndicate
Is Formed

If no outside cash bid is made for
the Ashland auxiliary water bonds
on January 26 the entire issue Will
be taken by a local syndicate COM
posed of forty-eight of Ashland G
substantial and progressive citizens.
These citizens are not purchasing
the bonds with the hope of profit,
but with the view of supplying funds
with which to proceed with the
springs work.
The bonds will be offered to in
vestors at par and accrued interest,
the same price as the syndicate pays
for them.
By this method funds will be forth
coming for thework as fast as need
ed and the springs work will go right
on.
1t will take about forty days to
have the bonds properly signed for
delivery, but as soon as the sale is
completed engineers will be put on
the work and the preliminaries will
be at once finished so that actual
dirt can be made to fly by the time
the bonds are ready for delivery.
Ashland is waking up. She cannot
fail under such a spirit. Her wealthy
citizens are getting behind the
project in such a way as to insure
it's success.
Tell the world that the Ashland
springs project will be completed by
July /, 1915.
A committee of the council COM
posed of Cunningham, Ware and
Ashcraft and a committee from the
local buying syndicate composed of
Messrs. Neil, Kinney and Jordan
have been appointed to arrange the
details of purchase so that every
thing will be in readiness to consum-
mate the deal on January 26, If no
acceptable outside bid is offered.

Ordinance Creates
Much Discussion

Considerable argument resulted
from the definition of fortune tell
er," when the matter of licensing
such people was brought up at Tues
days meeting of the city council. AS
defined in the new ordinance drawn
up by the city attorney and the ordi-
mace committee, fortune teller" was
defined as "one who processes to
foretell future events in the life Of
another" Somebody wanted to
know If the ordinance would cover
spiritualists, and Mayor Johnson ia
cetiously asked if the definition
would not apply to any member of
the council who was moved to crate
little on the future of Ashland and
its citizens. The newspaper men
present were secretly considerably
worried, since il the ordinance was
passed in its original form it would
certainly curtail their activities con-
siderably in some directions, but the
skies were cleared when the worthy
city fathers finally decided to look
farther into the matter before pass,
ing final Judgment. Upon looking
IN. the definition of the word in Web.
ster's one finds that it also means
"one who deceives people by pretend
ing to knowledge of future events .
and this let's the papers out, as there
are few publications that are so lack
ing in positiveness as to merely pre-
tend to such knowledge.

Turn Down
Irrigation

At meeting of the residents of
the Agate district held at the school
houFe Friday evening, those present
voted unanimously against the pro-
posed irrigation district.
Members of the irrigation commit
tee were present by invitation to ex-
plain the proposal of those present.
An hour and half was allowed
them, and those against the project
were also given an hour and half
to state their reasons for opposition.
The committee report was round
ly denounced by the opponents of the
system. They were present by invi-
tation.

REASONABLE CHANGE IN
RATES OF INSURANCE

All insurance companies, save
those engaged in writing life insur-
ance. will be allowed to make reason
able rates, regardless of whether
they have general agents in the
state, II bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Allen becomes a law. The
law now provides that general
agents may form a bureau for the
purpose, but prohibits companies
from doing so.

No Developments
In Gold Strike

No new Developments have arisen
In the Enyeart prospect near Jack
sonville, presumed to be the lost
channel. A force OF men are at work
sinking the shaft, but this is slow
work. Mining men In general
throughout the valley regard the
prospect as both probable and pos
sible. Another feature of the case
is that many Jacksonville pioneers
entertained the notion that the chan
mel could be found in the locality
where Enyeart sunk his shaft, but
never pushed the project.

Council FaVOrS
State Survey

After long weeks of turbulent dis
cussion the matter of the course OF
the Pacific highway through the Bill
lings place was finally settled as far
as the city council is concerned,
Tuesday evening at the council meet
ing.
Councilman Ware introduced
resolution as follows:
Whereas, final determination by
the city council of Ashland is neces-
sary to be made, without further de-
lay, as to the approval of a route for
the Pacific Highway around the so
called Eagle Mill Hill or Farnum
Hill in order to expedite the compile
ton OF said highway into the city OF
Ashland, and the expense of such
highway may be borne by and paid
from the 100000 bond issue of
Jackson county, Oregon, and
Whereas, the established policy Of
our own as well as many other states
is to avoid grade crossings of rail-
roads in order to safeguard the tray
cling public, and
Whereas, the state highway en-
gineer maintains that the original
route surveyed by him is the most
feasible and suitable location for a
permanent highway, and
Whereas, the county court strongly
endorses this survey as compared
with any other made and assures the
city council that IT,, said route is
adopted and the right-of-way therefor
procured by the city within the city
limits, that all expenses of excavat-
ing, grading, building and complet-
ing said highway will be paid from
the proceeds of the said bond issue,
including any and all expenses of
such building and. completing within
the limits as we'll as beyond.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the common council in regular ses-
sion assembled, that it is the judg-
ment of the city of Ashland that it
approves the said proposed Eagle
Mill route as recommended by the
state engineer and the county court
on the terms as above indicated, and
we pledge the council to heartily and
earnestly cooperate with the county
court in carrying out this necessary
public improvement.
The introduction OF the resolution
led to long and, what at times grew
to be, heated discussion. Mr.. Bill
lings was the first to take advantage
of the time allowed for debate and
stated his side of the case. Mr.. Bill
lings attacked the feasibility of tho
route and quoted numerous authori-
ties on the subject. Mr.. Ware an
swered the objections of Mr.. Bill
lings in way which seemed to con-
vince the council members and dis
interested listeners. Mr.. Briggs then
rose to the defence OF Mr.. Billings,
and If polished oratory could change
the minds of the members of the
council some of Them must surely
have been wavering when our law
yer-orator finished
Mr.. Root and Homer Billings then
tried to change the sentiment Of the
gathering, not by attacking the pro-
posed under-crossing route, but by
trying to show that another route
would be more feasible
The matter was finally brought to
vote and was unanimously passed.
In closing the matter Mr.. Ware said
that although he and the council had
friendship for Mr.. Billings, still they
believed that the route as surveyed
by the state engineer was the right
one to select in upbofding Ashland's
policy Of building for the future.

Routine Business
OF City Council

The city coufncil convened in reg
ular session at the city hall at 1880
Tuesday evening. All the members
were present and considerable num-
ber of leading citizens occupied the
visitors benches. After the minutes
of the preceding meeting had been
report, which showed the expendi-
lures and receipts in every depart
ment. The report was accepted and
put on file. Mr.. Cunningham then
moved that owing to the comprehen-
sive character of the report it should
be published in each of the city pa
pers. Motion was passed.
The recorder read petition from
several residents of North Main
street asking that the water main be
extended and a plug put in for fire
protection. The matter was referred
to the water committee. Three ap-
plications were handed in asking for
enrolment in the volunteer fire de-
partment. Harley Brewer and L. A.
Wright were appointed members by
the mayor.
Seven residents and business men
In the neighborhood of the fruit as
sociation building petitioned the city
to install a street light at the corner
of First avenue and A tsreet, say
ing that the lack of light in that sec
ton was a detriment to the sale of
property and also subjected them to
no little danger from tramps. The
matter was referred to the electric
light committee with instructions to
act.
The bond of c. w. Fraley for
$1,000 was approved.
Reports of the standing commit
tees followed.
The committee on sanitation re-
ported regarding conditions at the
back of some Main street business
property. Report was placed on file
and drains were ordered put in.
Mr.. Ware read a report on Boule-
ward property Of the city which is
discussed in another column. The
matter of condemnation proceedings
on a piece Of property on the Glen
view drive was brought up and put
on the table to be considered after
investigation.
A communication from Walter
Hash asking that the city rent him
land near the septic tank as in for
mer years was acted upon favorably,
and the city attorney was instructed
to draw up contract.
Ordinances and resolutions were
next in order. Mr.. Ware brought up
a resolution regarding the Pacific
highway controversy which has been
discussed at so many turbulent meet
ings.
Mrs. H. B. Sober then addressed
the council on matters regarding the
establishment of an orphans home
here.
Mr.. Ware then suggested that,
since it was still early in the even
ing, the council take up the reading
of some Of the new ordinances which
codify numerous old ordinances scat
tered through the charter.
Three ordinances were read, deal
ing with auctioneers, fortune tellers,
and one fixing the salary and remun-
erations of the city recorder. On the
latter the rules were suspended and
the ordinance was passed to the sec
ond reading and carried.
The matter OF the councilmen's s
phones at the expense of the city was
brought up and the recorder was in
structed to have the telephone COM
pany remove ex-Councilman Beavers
phone to the residence of the new
member, Mr.. Biegel. The theatre
ordinance was amended and passed,
and the council adjourned until Fri
day evening at o'clock.
