Will Sell Lithia
Water in Portland

r. A. Minkler, member of the
springs water commission prior to
his removal to ranch in the Will
lamette valley, and who has since
been back in Ashland, left this week
for Portland, where he will establish
offices and handle Ashland lithia wa
ter. The water will be shipped from
here in bottles and tanks by the Ash
land Lithia Water Company, who
have had the water on the market
for some time past Mr.. Minkler ex-
poets to build up big trade in Port
land, and states that he finds a great
demand there already because of the
advertising which Ashland lithia wa
ter has received. The proposition
will work two ways, Ashland secur-
ing great deal of advertising from
the lithia water sold in Portland.
Retail and wholesale marketing will
be gone into.

City Will Widen
Park Avenue

Immediate steps are to be taken
for the widening Of Park avenue
from the Peil corner to the creamery
by the purchase of the Billings barn
property and acceptance of gift of
a small slice off the Perozzi proper
ty. This was authorized at the Tues
day council meeting. The city will
pay Mr.. Billings 1875 for his prop
erty, which is 80 by 20 feet and upon
which stands his barn, Mr.. Billings
agrees to remove the barn within
twenty-five days. Considerable ar
gument ensued over this purchase,
Mr.. Cornelius believing it too big a
price and the other councilmen TAX
ing the view that it was worth the
price to Mr.. Billings, who would
have to pay stable rent otherwise
since he drives to town every day.
Mr.. Root stated that Mr.. Billings had
shown him that the barn was worth
more than the interest on $500 to
him. In view of the fact that ex-
pediency was deemed better than de-
lay, and probably legal action would
cost the city more than Mr.. Billings
price, the deal was authorized.
D. Perozzi deeds to the city for
one dollar all the land needed from
his property for the widening, the
city to move back his barn to the
new property line. The committee
in charge of the matter was granted
more time in their negotiations with
the Chautauqua people regarding the
strip needed on the other side.

Hon. A. E. Clark of Portland, who
will speak in Ashland on the evening
of Wednesday. October II, is not only
one of the leading lawyers of Ore
gon, but a speaker of exceptional
ability. Mr.. Clark was the candidate
of the progressive party for senator
in 1912, lie is of Scotch-Irish pa
rentage; worked his way through col
lege cutting wood, driving logs and
bossing railroad construction in
northern Minnesota. He became a
lawyer when 23 years of age, practic-
ing in the state of Minnesota until
he came to Portland in 1906. He
was a member of the commission ap-
pointed to revise judicial procedure
in Oregon; was chairman of the citi-
zen's charter commission of Portland.

plea for the support of the whole
delegation so that Jackson county
could haVs a united representation
in the legislature, wmcn is bound to
be overwhelmingly republican. To
WELD any influence for the county,

deemed absolutely necessary. Coun-
ty Chairman Bert Anderson also ad-
dressed the meeting, making an i'm
pressive ialk
Mrs. Perozzi appointed twenty
four delegates to the state confer
ences of Hughes Alliances which will
be held in Portland tomorrow.

Club and Council
will Work Together

Recognizing the fact that park and
mineral waters should be placed in
the hands of new board to have
control of both, and also that pro-
vision for funds for the maintenance
and vitalization of the resort propect
should be made, but being unable
to accept the charter amendment in
its entirety as offered by the Com
mercial Club board of trustees, the
city council Tuesday night voted to
turn down the request to place the
amendment before the people, and
Immediately followed this with the
unanimous passage Of motion re-
questing the president of the Com
mercial Club to call a meeting at
some future date of the trustees and
invite the city council and city attor-
ney to attend for the purpose of for
luuldLlHS al dlutHuHchI WulCll III
the opinion of all would be suitable
This action followed a discussion of
some length which was participated
in by the councilmen and President
Smith of the Commercial Club. The
proposed charter amendment as Of
fered by the Commercial Club pro-
posed to do away with the park
board and springs water commission
and place the whole project in the
hands of a new board. Provisions
were also made for funds for the
work. The discussion was most har-
monious, without a single discordant
note, and augurs well for good re-
suits when the council and club get
together to formulate the new
amendment.

Plan to Cut Corner
Off Library Park

In order to relieve the congestion
which so often occurs at the corner
of Gresham and Main streets at the
White Iiouse grocery corner, the
realty committee and the city attor-
ney are investigating the possibility
of cutting off corner of the trian-
gular shaped park at the corner and
widening Gresham street at the cor
ner. But little piece Of the park
would be necessary to make radi-
cal difference in the shape Of the
street there and would allow much
more room. Autoists who have had
occasion to drive down Gresham
street know we'll the difficulty which
is experienced under present condi-
tions in turning to the right.

grocery bill and buy up few sup

handful Of golden quartz carelessly
into his trousers pocket, moved on
to the next stop.
Dave end his partner are laboring
hard at the rich Hungry creek claims
which they purchased, and Dave ex
hibits a pair of heavily calloused
hands to prove it.

A Sudden Descent

emphatically with the coming of Oc-

that most people have yet to take

stores. Things froze up badly. toma-

Weather Ideal

September was an almost ideal
month for Ashland. Only four days
were cloudy in the entire month, al
though five others were partly
cloudy. The rain was far below the
average for September rainfall, but

would do the most good. The month
was lacking in extremely warm
weather, the maximum being so de-
grees on the 14th. The minimum
was 35, there being no frosts. Sixty
five was the lowest daily maximum.
