Underwood and the
Tariff Board.

No one need be surprised that
Senator Underwood has come
out in opposition to the idea Of
Tariff Board. When Mr.. Under
wood became leader of the Demo-
cratic forces in the House, his
first work was to chloroiorm the
existing Tariff Board. After dis
carding it's collection OF data and
information, he proceeded to
make the Underwood tariff in his
own way. Naturally he thinks
he did q good job, and in con-
sequence he is opposed to any
theories in government that
would delegate the powers OF
tariff making to anyone outside
the Congressional set.

Will Vote on

called an election for May 10, the
same day as the state primaries are
held, for the organization of the dis
trict and the election of three drec-
tors and treasurer. The ballots
Will read; Irrigation District
Yes" or irrigation District-No." !"
Those who favor the creation of the
district will vote yes, those opposed
no.
The election will be held north of
Talent, on the east side of Pacific
Highway at the junction of the coun-
ty road running east to Bear creek.
The irrigation project is being met
with an enthusiasm which surprises
even its most enthusiastic hackers.
The farmers of the entire district
look forward to the completion of
the project as a goal which must be
reached, and but little opposition has
been heard to the project.
But one voting place will be kept
open for the election and the farm
ers in the upper end of the valley
who come within the district confines
will have to travel quite distance to
register their vote, but the interest
taken assures a full vote.
A favorable vote on the irrigation
proposition will mean the beginning
of plans which will result in approx
imately 100000 being turned loose
in the Ashland district, most of it
going to laboring men.

Civic Club May
Build Club House

At Tuesday evenings council meet
ing a petition from the Civic In
provement Club was read asking that
the council work with them in secur-
ing land for the erection Of a club
house. Several pieces of land have
been suggested, among the most fa-
vorable mentioned being a site on the
land on the west side of Park avenue
opposite the park, which was recently
purchased by the city. The ladies'
have asked the council to arrange a
lease or deed for sufficient amount
of land to build a club house and ten
mis- court. The club has not arrived
at any definite conclusion regarding
the financing of the building. but
with their well-known propensity for
getting what they go after will no
doubt have beautiful home of their
own before long.
No definite action was taken by
the council Tuesday night, the petit
tion being lost sight of in an argu-
ment over executive session. It will
be brought up again at the next meet
ing, the council in the meanwhile in
vest'gating the various phases Of the
proposition.

Grant Permission
For Parking Space

The ChautauQua people have grant
ed the city council permission to level
off the land between Park avenue
and the creek next TO Chautauqua
Park for the purpose Of constructing
parking places for automobiles. The
city attorney win draw up a contract
as soon as possible and the work of
leveling the land and preparing for
the scores Of autos which will be here
this summer will begin. Last year
during Chautauqua time the streets
near the Chautauqua buildings were
almost blockaded with cars at times,
and with the prospect of far greater
crowds this summer on every big day,
all available space will be needed to
park machines.
Mr.. Billings and the council com
mittee which conferred with him rela-
tive to making a trade for the land
on which his barn on Park avenue
stands did not arrive at any definite
conclusion. Mr.. Billings asked for
time to consider the proposition. If
the city secures the Billings property
it will own all the land between
Piers plaza and the creamery prop
erty.

Tuesday evenings council meeting a
petition from residents in the neigh
borhood of that portion of C street
between Second and Third streets was

power to act. Mr.. Ashcraft stated
that Mr.. Sander was contemplating
the erection of new and up-to-date
dairy barn with ideal sanitary equip
ment in every respect.
President Billings of the Chautau-
qua Association asked that the city
take some action to protect the Chau-
tauqua building from surface water
from Pioneer avenue. In 1911, ac-
cording to Mr.. Billings, an agreement
was made with the city to care for
the surface water in return for a
