Heavy Shows Put
Down Power Lines

The heavy SHOWS put down both
the Prospect and Fall Creek power
lines of the California-Oregon COM
pany yesterday morning at about the
same hour and threw the lighting
and heating of the entire valley upon
the Gold Ray plant. Ashland had no
street lights last night and heating
current was reduced, but this city
suffered little owing to the municipal
plant. which for a while yesterday
handled the whole city. At 1O:3O
O'Clock last night the Fall creek line
over the Siskiyous was put in shape
again, but owing to the fact that the
plant over there is loaded down to
the limit, it aided the valley situa-
ton but little. The trouble crews on
the Prospect lines had failed to To-
cate the trouble this morning, but
expect to have it found and fixed by
night. There is three feet of snow
at Prospect.

Horse at Play
Killed by Electricity

A valuable draft horse belonging
to Fred Putnam lost its life by cleo
trocution In a most extraordinary
manner on Christmas day. The ami
NAL, which was one Of team which
Mr.. Putnam recently refused $400
for, was romping in the barn lot in
the snow with its mate, end from all
indications must have reared up and
caught his mouth on a low hanging
wire which formerly furnished cur
rent to the barn. The wire hooked
in the horses upper teeth and in his
struggles he wore through the insula-
tion and was killed by the 120-volt
current. He was found with the wire
still hooked in his teeth. Electricians
state that a horse Is killed by light
current and that the fact that he got
1t through his mouth was almost sure
to cause death. The wire was nine
feet from the ground. The barn was

Commercial Club
Has Money Ahead

For the first time in many years
the Commercial Club has every debt
paid up and over 800 in the bank.
The trustees of the club met Tuesday
night and passed the months bills
and found when the months account
was balanced up that neat little
balance was on hand to put by for
future needs. The trustees are work
ing on several important projects and
hope to have something definite lined
up before long. There will be no
meeting Of the club in January owing
to the fact that the regular meeting
night falls on New Years.
