Following the council meeting
Thursday evening, the old city coun-

The King Is Dead, Long Live the King.

A biographer of Louis XIV. Of France
says his death was announced by the
captain of the bodyguard from a win
dow of the state apartment and that,
raising his staff of office above his
head. he broke 1t in the center and,
throwing the pieces among the crowd,
exclaimed in a loud voice, lie roi est
mort' cThe king is deadly Then seiz-
ing another staff he fiourished 1t in the
air, shouting, 'Vive lie roig cLong live
the klng!)" The phrase was used in
announcing The death of other French
kings and for the last time rat the
death of Louis XVIII. 1t is often quot
ed to signify the qulckness with which
official authority and popular admira-
tlon are transferred from a dead ruler
to living one.

1915 City Council
In Last Meeting

The old city council met for the
last time Thursday evening of las
week and in a very harmonious ses
sion cleared up lot of business and
got things in shape for the coming
council to take hold of. Resolutions
regarding the several unfinished
matters which the new council viii
carry on were unanimously passed as
recorded elsewhere, and several re-
ports read.
An ordinance regarding peddlers
and hawkers was passed permitting
the sale by peddling without a
license of products of farm or dairy
by parties raising same, and also of
any products raised or manufactured
within the city, whether sold by the
owners or not.
A. B. Freeman, owning property
on Granite street opposite the auto
camp grounds, proposed to deed the
small tract, 80 by so feet, used for
a chicken yard, just north of the
roadway, to the city, together with
the low land along the creek at the
rear of his home, for sewer connec-
tions. The matter was referred to
the new council with recommenda-
tion that a committee be appointed as
TO same.
The street committee moved rec
ommendation that Park avenue (Mill
street, be improved by paving early
in the new year, but that before this
is done the street be widened, begin
ming at the Is feet donated by Mr..
Peil for such purpose and running
south to a point at or near the cream
cry property.
Council approved and referred
same to the new council.
The following report was read:
Ashland, Ore, Dec. 80, 1915. q.
Mayor and City Council, Ashland.
Ore. I -tl#
Gentlemen: When the city coun-
Gil decided to secure certain lands
on Park avenue (Mill street, last
summer, there was one small piece,
about 20 by 30 feet, belonging to
G. F. Billings for barn, which was
not obtained.
Mr.. Billings was quite indisposed
at the time and asked not to take
the matter up until after the Chau-
tauqua season, but assured the un-
dersigned that arrangements would
be made with the city for said prop
erty entirely satisfactory to the un-
dersigned.
For various reasons the matter has
been delayed by Mr.. Billings from
time to time and as yet no arrange
ments entered into, in fact, no for
NAL proposition has been made.
The undersigned still hopes the
promised arrangements may be
completed with the city, and recon-
mends that the matter be referred to
the new city council and that it ap-
point special committee to take up
the same with Mr.. Billings.
Respectfully submitted,
]. B. WARE.
The council followed out the rec
ommendation.

Snow Falls In
Southern California

While Ashland was experiencing
the first snow of the season last

the depth of that which fell in Ash

years that such a scene had been wit
ness in southern California. The or
ange crop was uninjured, as the ther-
mometer did not fall below 92 de-

compared with the same time yesterday,
Philadelphia Is getting a respite from tha
suffering Of the heat and humidity wave
today. George s. Bliss, weather forecaster.
announced this morning that today and to-
night will be altogether comfortable.
A high barometric pressure area has set
tied down the coast. including the city. with
It have come cooling breezes that have dried
the air and caused the decrease in humid
ity. The percentage OF humidity at o'clock
this morning was SO, compared with 50 per

temperature at this morning was 81, COM
pared with az yesterday.
All this comes as a relief to a month
which has recorded the greatest percentage
of humidity of any month since the
weather Bureau was established In Phlia-
delphia in 1888. The humidity has been
causing the suffering. The average tenn
rerature In the 2s days of the month really
was only one degree above normal.
This heat wave, or, to be more exact
humidity wave, was caused primarily by the
Bermuda high" heavy atmospheric
pressure In the Atlantic about bermuda
Island pushed the tropical weather in.
Warm winds, laden with very thin mist,
came across the Atlantic seaboard Staten
from this pressure point to the southeast
They continued across the country as far as
the Rocky Mountains, heating especially the
lake regions the upper Mississippi valley
and the northern plains States, and caus-
ing much suffering and damage to the crops.
When atmospheric pressure accumulated
in the northwest of the United States and
drifted across the country near the Cana
dian boundary, opposing winds developed
which relieved those from the Atlantic.
When this pressure reached the st. Law

above Maine. 1t is there now. That IL

Predictions were that the West will con-

East that have had cool weather for the
last day or two will begin to warm up"

or a storm or anything else big enough to
cause relief in prospect. the forecasters said.
