Andrews Opera Co.
Will Appear Here

The famous Andrews Opera Com
pany, which for many years has been

been reorganized and will make its
appearance in Ashland on the even
ing of March 8. The company will
present the opera Martha" under
the auspices of the local lodge of
Elks. The company will number
among them, besides the members of
the Andrews family, who need no in

revised by George Broadhurst so as
to bring out the sero-comic part by
spoken lines, and the opera in its
present shape is bound to please.

SiskiyOu Bill
Passes House

House Bill 800, introduced by
Vawter of Jackson and authorizing
the highway commission to complete
the Siskiyou grade between Oregon
and California, was passed by the
house last Tuesday Ly a practically
unanimous vote. The measure pro-
vides that the highway commission
can expend one-fourth of the regular
levy for good roads on this work,
which if the one-half mill levy passes
would give a maximum OF about $780,
900. Engineers estimate to COM
plete hard surface over the Sisli-
yous would cost from 1926, 900 to
$150,00O, depending upon the width
and class Of the pavement.
The bill must pass the senate and
under present conditions it is difficult
to predict what will he the outcome.
The supporters OF the bill, however,
with the strong support in the house
are sanguine as to the outcome. If
the one-fourth mill levy is maintain
ed about $4,000 will be available.

Ladies Secure Aid
For Cemetery Work

Mesdames Lamkin and Graham,
representing the cemetery committee
of the ladies clubs of Ashland, ap-
peared before the council Tuesday
evening and asked the aid of the
council in the work of beautifying
Mountain View cemetery. Council
man Cornelius of the councils COM
mittee on cemeteries said that he had
conferred with the ladies of the COM
mittee and asked that the council ap-
propriate 500 for the work. The
amount was appropriated and the
cemetery committee of the council
will aid the ladies in every way in its
power in the work of Identification.
Councilman Cunningham brought
up the matter of appraisement of the
different lots, stating that some were
naturally more valuable than others,
and the matter was referred to the
cemetery committee.
Mountain View cemetery has al
ways been neglected more or less, but
now that the ladies have taken hold
of the matter the once desolate spot
will soon become one of Ashland's
beauty places.

S. P. County Taxes
Total $71,243.30

According to the figures of Chief
Deputy Tax Collector G. r. Harper,
the amount of taxes to be paid by the
Southern Pacific Company for their
rolling stock and equipment in Jack
son county amounts to $71,243.30.
The taxes on the land belonging to
the railroad company in this county
amount to something over $4,000,
but because of the fact that these
holdings are in litigation the railroad
company refuses to pay the taxes un-
less the case now pending in the SUI
preme\c of the United States is
settled in their favor.
A new office system of tax collect
ing, similar to the one used in Multi
nomah county, has been inaugurated.
BY the use of the new system the ex-
pense of collection is reduced and
better service can be given. AS soon
as something definite has been
learned of the new taxation law now
before the house, Mr.. Harper will
prepare a statement giving an outline
as to the amount collected and when
taxes may be paid.

that a great number OF people would

matters which they noticed which re-
quired attention, and assured the CO.
operation of the council.

er with Chairman Greer of the

New City Jail
Will Be Built

At the suggestion of Mayor John
son at the council meeting Tuesday
night the matter of establishing jail
quarters at the Fourth street fire sta
tion was considered favorably. The
mayor proposes to put a concrete
front in the Fourth street station
and install two steel cages. The
whole expense will not exceed five or
six hundred dollars and will supply
a strictly fireproof Jail that can be
kept sanitary and will meet the re-
quirements of the state law. The old
Jail in the city hall does not come up
to legal requirements of safety and
sanitation and the city now stands a
great liability every time a prisoner
If incarcerated, for II the structure
should be burned and injury result to
the prisoner the city would be up
against big damages.
1t is proposed to tear the jail room
from the city hall, put new front in
it like the ones in the chief Of police
and electricians rooms, extend the
room back through the building so il
will have air and ventilation, finish
it in fine style and utilize it for a
ladies' rest room.
The chief of police office will be
installed on Fourth street at the jail
and the room now occupied by him
turned over for an office for the
springs water commission.
This proposed improvement is
along the right line. 1t is part of g
general scheme to prepare for the big
development that will come from wa,
ter resort development. A commit
tee composed Of Ware, Biegel ant
Ashcraft was appointed to put the
project forward.

Council TranSaCtS Business
Of Considerable Importance

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last Tuesday evening and trans
acted a goodly amount of routine
business. The meeting was called to
order by Councilman Cunningham
and the minutes of the previous meet
ing read. Mayor Johnson then ar
rived and took the chair, making a
full attendance. Chief of Police Por-
ter, Electrical Superintendent Strick-
land, Engineer Walker and Street
Commissioner Fraley were among
those present.
matter of the purchasing of me-
ters, globes and so forth by the cleo
trio department was passed favorably
The purchase of some water sup
plies was brought up by Councilman
Ashcraft and acted favorably upon.
The city attorney was instructed
to codify the charter, which is in a
rather mixed and superamended
state.
A bill from II. G. Butterfield for
few days work was brought up and
passed.
Mrs. Lamkin and Mrs. Graham
were present, representing the La
dies Federated Clubs of Ashland and,
more specifically, the cemetery COM
mittee of the clubs. Speaking for the
city, Mrs. Lamkin secured the assist
ance of the council in the work and
brought to light several matters re-
garding Mountain View cemetery,
which are set forth in another column
of this issue
Mr.. Greer brought up a proposition
in regard to technicalities attached
to the bond matter. The proposition
was acted upon favorably and is re-
ported elsewhere in this paper.
F. H. Johnson brought up a matter
Of a crossing on Bush street, saying
that he wanted to fix up the park row
in front of his property but could not
do so until the crossing was fixed so
that rains would not cause water to
dig up the park row. The street COM
missioner was instructed to fix the
crossing. At the same time Council
man Werth mentioned the crossing at
Laurel street of the alley which ex-
tends from the school yard to Laurel
street, and stated that he thought the
alley was private property but that il
could be made city property for the
asking. The engineer and attorney
were requested to attend to the mat.
ter of securing a quit claim. While
on these matters of problems thai
must be attended to in order that the
general Identification can be carried
on, the mayor stated that he hoped

Harmony Concert
LyCeuln Course

The Elks Club of Ashland has
been instrumental in securing for
Ashland during the past winter the
finest lyceum course that has ever
been obtained for this city. Every
lyceum entertainment has been greet.
ed with crowded house and the
audiences have highly appreciated
each and every one. For the final en-
tertoinment for next Monday even
ing, February %, the Elks present
what they believe to be the highest
grade organization of all, and that
means a great deal, as the preceding
entertainments have been topnotch-
ers. The Harmony Concert Party,
composed OF four famed artists, each
of whom has specially and who in
addition plays several other instru-
ments wonderfully we'll, will put on
a musical program of solos and COM
binations which will please old and
young. The personnel of the COM
pany Is: Mr.. McNemery, mandolin,
banjo, saxaphone and xylophone;
Mrs. McNemery, piano. mandolin
and Xylophone; Alois BonhumiI Hra-
bak, flute, banjo, violin and xyIo-
phone; II. Calvin Jordan, harp, piano,
mandocello and banjo.
Every one of these artists has had
years of experience in the biggest
orchestras of the United States and
Europe and all are pupils of the most
famous teachers. To miss this con-
cert will give cause for regret for
years to come, as such an assemblage
of real artists has not been together
before in the history OF American
music.

Campgr0undS Will
Be Attraction

The matter of the city camp
grounds which was given an impetus
at the Tuesday evening council meet
ing is one which is oil great impor-
tance to the people and merchants of
Ashland. When we consider the
number Of people who in years past
have camped along the road at the
foot of Jackson hill and who, while
they intended to stay only for q sin
gle night, were drawn by the beauty
of the Ashland country to stay for
a much longer period, anyone can
easily see the drawing card and adj
vertisement which a beautiful camp
grounds along Ashland creek would
have for the hundreds OF tourists
who pass through every summer.
The present plans for campgrounds
include the installation Of city water
and sewer connection on the grounds
on Water street which have been set
aeide for the wagon campers and a
commodious and well arranged auto
campgrounds.
Such grounds are sure to draw
great numbers of tourists who will
stop here and who cannot help but
be so attracted by the surroundings
so as to make long stay. These
campers will require supplies and will
patronize the local amusements and
will be of direct financial benefit to
the community.
Present plans include the placing
of signs along the highways for great
distances both north and south, in
forming the campers Of the stopping
place at Ashland. After the grounds
have been once established, every
tourist of this kind who stops here
will spread word of "the beautiful
grounds at Ashland" farther and
faster than other means.
Anyone who has travelled by team
or auto knows the lack of decent
places to camp along the main roads
and a stopping place here is bound to
become widely known fact.

Southern Pacific
Getting Busy

John N. Scott, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, was in Ashland Wednesday in
conference with the springs water
commission regarding publicity for
the project. He will now put his ad-
vertising department to work on this
subject and Ashland will be hence
forth put forward as the Carlsbad
of America"
Incidentally the hotel matter was
gone into to some extent and Mr..
Pollock of the S. p. dining car SER
vice will take that matter up system
atically and no doubt something will
soon develop along that line. 1t will
require about three acres of land To-
Gated in good relation to the park,
but not on the main streets, for the
hotel site, and Ashland will be ex-
pected to supply that land. AS fine
hotel like the one to be built will
add five hundred per cent to the
value of the land abutting on the ho-
tel grounds, owners will no doubt be
glad to provide site in order to have
the hotel located where it will dc
their property the most good. Either
property on Granite street, First av-
enue or thereabouts will be accept
able for the hotel, although too high
up the hill will not be desirable.

Good Publicity
Plan Suggested

Mrs. Ira Shoudy comes forward
with a splendid advertising sugges-
ton. She proposes that Ashland la
dies write short letters about our wa
tering resort developments and send
them to the back home papers for
publication. The old home paper
would be glad to print such letter
and Ashland would get a lot of adver-
tising out of it. Her suggestion will
be presented to the ladies' clubs and
no doubt favorable action will be TAX
en- on it. Here is the practical effect:
Estimate that Ashland's present pop
ulation is composed of persons from
one thousand different communities
throughout the United States and
each has such letter printed in the
old home paper. No doubt our devel-
Iopment would be brought to the at
tention of half q million people who
know little of our possibilities. 1t all
helps.

Bond Interest Made
Payable New York

The council passed a resolution
Tuesday night instructing the mayor
and recorder to enter into contract
with r. p. Neil whereby the city
agrees to deliver payment Of interest
and principal on the auxiliary bonds
at the fiscal agency of the state of
Oregon in New York city. This
change has been a general demand on
the part of investors proposing to
purchase the Ashland bonds and will
no doubt result in the balance of the
bonds being sold to eastern investors
at par and interest, so there will be
no loss either to the local syndicate
or the city. .'a
