Girl HikeYS
AyliVe Today

Some time today three young ladies'
who are walking from Portland to
San Francisco are due to arrive in
Ashland and will appear tonight and
tomorrow night at the Lyric Theatre.
The trio started out from Portland
with just five dollars, but are making
good money with the vaudeville en-
tertainment which they have put on
in practically every town along the
line. The managers of theatres to the
north recommend their stage work
highly. The young ladies have good
voices and stage twenty-minute
sketch which is reported to be excel
lent. The girls travel in high-top
boots and mems walking costumes.
In addition to the entertainment fur
nished by the young ladies, the Lyric
will run the regular pro-
gram of pictures, making a two-hour
show. Prices will be 10 and 1 ) cents.
A complete change of pictures and
for Friday night.

Whether the state will turn over
the money to the county to be expend-
ed under Mr.. Cantine's supervision,
or whether the state itself will take
complete charge of the work, will
also be determined.
The balance of the county bond
issue, left after the Sweeney settle
ment, approximately $4,000, will be
expended by the county. The road
will first be graded through to Rogue
River and then as much of it paved
as there are funds left for. Bids will
be asked on the grading and local
contractors will be given a chance to
bid on sections as well as on the en-
tire work
The state commission acknowledge
that $4,000 is due Jackson county
from last years highway fund, an
we'll as $4,000 for paving equipment
purchased for the state, and this
$21, 900 will be forthcoming in the
future, though pressure from north
ern counties has exhausted the fund
for this year.

No More Liquor Ads
On BillbOardS

Advertisements for all spirituous
liquors hereafter will be barred from
the billboards throughout the United
States and Canada when the present
advertising contracts expire, accord
to a decision reached at the annual
convention of the Poster Advertising
Association, composed of all the bill
posting firms in America, which re-
Gently was held in Palm Beach, Fla
This news was brought to Portland
by George w. Kleiser of Foster &
Kleiser, b!llposters of that city, who
returned last week from an extended
trip through the east, during which
he attended the convention.
There was little opposition to the
resolution to refuse to accept any
more billposting for liquors" said
Mr.. Kleiser. Nearly all the men,
bers of the association believed it was
the proper thing for them to do.
There are some big contracts for
posting liquor posters and, of course,
these have to be fulfilled. After the
present contracts end there will be
no more renewals and liquor adver-
tisements on the billboards in this
country will soon be thing of the
past"

Band Concert In
Park Next Sunday

A high-class band that will play
high-class music is practically assured
for Ashland. A weekly concert dur
ing the summer, band dances, and the
inspiring strains of the latest marches
at all of the big occasions this sum-
mer will be realities instead of
dreams. At Tuesday nights council
meeting the council appropriated $25
"a month for the next six months for
the support of the band. The Com
mercial Club had already decided to
donate like amount, and this morn
ing it was announced that the park
commission will furnish $40 a month.
The ladies' of the Civic Improvement
Club have started agitation for band
support and will no doubt take some
action at their next meeting.
V. l.. Bentson, the band man who
Is here from San Francisco, directed
the land last Friday evening at re-
hearsal and expresses himself as be-
ing amazed at the array of fine band
musicians which Ashland has and pre-.
diets that the band will make a name
for itself all up and down the coast
before the summer is over.
Mr.. Bentson will direct the band in
the first concert of the season next
Sunday afternoon in the park, wealth
er permitting. Everyone is urged to
turn out and give the band a good
sendoff. The concert is free.

Law Prohibits
Public Drinking

Heretofore, as long as man was
not intoxicated there was no law
which prohibited him from taking IA
drink OF booze in any public place that
he wished even under the nose of
the chief OF police. At Tuesday even
ing's council meeting an ordinance
was passed which prohibits drinking
liquor in public place and also the
possession of liquor by an intoxicated
person in public place An ordi-
nance provides for the confiscation
Of any liquor found on an intoxicated
person. This will put a stop to the
OF booze around dance halls
or on the streets. Anyone caught
this ordinance will lose the
liquor which they have in their pos
session and will receive the penalty.

Charter Election
Called for May 3

Tuesday night the city council
called an election for May to so
amend the charter that the contem-
plated improvement in the park could
go forward Immediately.
This was deemed advisable for two
reasons:
I. When the charter amendment
is dnly adopted an injunction will not
lie against the expenditure of funds
for the park development.
2. Without the charter amend
ment any funds paid out by the
springs water commission for park
development would stand as a per-
sonsl liability against the individual
commissioners. For this reason the
springs water commission declined to
isspe vouchers against the auxiliary
water fund for park improvement un-
til they could do so legally.
Therefore all work in the park has
been discontinued until the charter
amendment is ratified by vote.
Work continues on the Smith,
Emery & Co. contract for the physi-
cal plant, the piping of the water to
the city being legal as the charter
now stands.
The object of the proposed charter
amendment is simply to allow the
springs water commission to do legal
ly what everybody thought it already
had the right to do.
The amendment was drawn by the
city attorney and attorney for the
springs water commission and adopt.
ed by the council without change.
The amendment election should
carry without opposition as there are
no new matters or authority granted
to the commission that were not al
ready implied in the original plan.
The full text of the proposed
amendment will be found in another
column of this paper.

State Funds To Pave Billings
Hill And Five Miles South

The $4,000 appropriated by the
state for Jackson county roads will
be expended on the Billings hill and
in paving Ashland south. The mat
ter of paving the Billings hill has
been deferred until the action of the
state officials could be learned, but
it now seems probable that the work
of removing the main obstacle to
travel between Ashland and Medford
will go forward in thE very near flu
ture.
County Commissioner Lever and
Madden and Representative w. l.
Vawter returned from Salem Tuesday
where they appeared before the state
highway commission in an endeavor
to reach an understanding regarding
the expenditure of the $50, 600 appro.
priated for use on the Siskiyou sec.
tion and basis for road work during
the coming year. State Highway En-.
gineer Cantine will be down within
the next few days and the program
will be finally agreed upon.
Commissioner Madden thus sum
marizes the result of the conference;
The state money will be depended
on the Siskiyou section, but the Siski
you section will comprise subject tC
approval by Engineer Cantine,, al
that portion OF the highway from the
southern line of the present complet.
ed paved road at the base of the Ash.
land hill to the California line. This
will enable the expenditure of the
state money on the Billings grade
and the paving this year of probably
five miles from Ashland south under
state control
The office Of the state highway en-.
gineer at Medford. will be abolished
Engineer Klttredge will be retained
until Mr. Cantine makes his visit, ant
his future employment will then be
determined upon.

bohemian Girl"
Is Big Production

The new scenery for the "Bohe-
mian Girl is progressing splendidly
at the hands of Miss Bomar, Miss
Grubb and Miss Walker, under the
direction of Miss Harris. 1t would
be difficult, indeed, to have finer
scenery arranged by imported talent
than the local girls have been able to
construct.
Nearly everyone is familiar with
the story and music of the light
opera. Seventy-five voices will be
included in the cast.
Mr.. Klum and crew of boys are
rearranging the drop scenes. All the
new scenery and apparatus will be
made by the local boys in the manual
training shops.
This is the most ambitious musical
entertainment that has ever been at
tempted in Ashland, but the cast has
been drilling hard and a fine produc-
tion is assured.
The part of Thaddeus, q Polish ex-
| lie, is taken by Mr.. Briggs. Early in
the play he is seeking concealment
from Austrian troops and rescues the
infant daughter of Count Arnheim of
Austria from an infuriated stag. The
grateful count asks the stranger to
join in the festivities about to take
place. Thaddeus finally accepts but
refuses to drink to the health of the
emperor The count is angered and
Thaddeus departs with a band Of
Gypsies.
The part of Devilshoof is taken by
Mr.. Howells. He is one of the Gyp-
sizes and is Imprisoned by the count,
but he escapes and steals Airline, the
counts child.
Airline, the counts child, is Miss
Nell Peachey. She has developed a
wonderful range of voice and will be
a pleasing surprise to her many
friends.
The part of the Gypsy queen is
taken by Miss Priscilla Carnahan.
who appears at her I<ery best in this
difficult part.
The count is Mr.. Percy Blackstone.
Mr.. Blackstone's voice is well suited
to the range of this part and will be
quite a favorite at the production.
Mr.. Aubrey Redifer takes the part of
Florestein. He is the counts nephew
and from him is stolen the medallion
which the queen hangs about Arline's
neck. When she is brought to the
court the count recognizes her as his
long lost child.
The high school orchestra will fur
nish music during the course of the
evening. The play is to be put on in
the high school gymnasium next
Wednesday evening, April 2S.
