Fine DamSite in
Ashland Canyon

That there is a site available in
Ashland canyon for a reservoir which
could be built for $4,000, which
would have a storage capacity of 25,-
100000 gallons of water and which
would run the electric plant at full
capacity regardless of drOuth or cold
all year around, and would furnish
plenty of water for a population dou-
BILE or treble the present population
of Ashland, is the good news con-
tanned in a report made to the city
council Tuesday night by City En-
gineer Walker. Some time ago, sew
eral months in fact, Mr.. Walker hap
pened upon the site while on a ram
BILE up the left fork of Ashland creek
and was Immediately struck with the
possibility of big storage reservoir
at comparatively small cost. Later
upon instruction of the city council
Mr. Walker spent two or three days
surveying the site, his finding being
the basis for the report made Tues
day. 1t was not the intention of the
council to plan any such construction
at present, but that some day the res
ervoir will be needed is conceded,
and Mr.. Walkers report will be filed
so that when the need of more stor-
age becomes imperative it can be
used as most valuable data. A few
extracts from the report are as fol-
lows.
cat a point about a mile above the
forks of the creek the banks slope so
as to allow a favorable cross-section
for a dam, and then Immediately
come away from the creek bed al
lowing an exceptional storage reser-
voir site for Ashland Creek canyon.
My survey shows that with dam
eighty feet in height above the creek
bed, the top length of dam being
250 feet, a reservoir will be formed
above it that will have a maximum
width of about 900 feet and length
of 900 feet"
Regarding the capacity of such
reservoir Mr.. Walker says:
"Over a large part of this site the
water would lie at least fifty feet
deep, and | estimate the storage ca
pacity of the reservoir at 25,000,000
gallons. This is about twenty-five
times the capacity of the city's lower
reservoir and probably fifty times the
of the upper reservoirs built
for the electric plant"
AS to dam construction Mr.. Walker
says.
1.-THE m ost economical dam would
be one of earth and loose rock, with
a core wall-probably of concrete.
Such a dam would cost about $751;
900. If the city had this dam and
reservoir it would enable us to run
our electric plant to its fullest capac-
ity at any and all times of the year,

Earl Rasor next pleased the audi
ence with a solo and responded with
an encore.
At this point the chairman ap'
pointed Mesdames F. D. Wagner, G..
s. Butler, C. b. Lamkin and o. Win
ter and Mr.. Clark Bush as a commit
tee to nominate officers for the
Hughes Alliance branch.
Walter L. TOoze, Sr., state organ
izer for the Fughes Alliance, spoke
next at some length. He stated that
1t had been ten years since he had
last visited the city and that the
changes accomplished had amazed
him Your park and mineral wa
ters deserve the attention of the en-
tire country. There is no lacation in
the entire state the equal of Medford
and Ashland"
He then launched into a discussion
of the Wilson administration, bring
ing out defects point by point and
explaining in what way the republi-
cans would overcome these defects.
A mention of Theodore Roosevelt
brought the loudest burst of ap-
plause of the evening.
Mr.. Tooze quoted the registration
in this county to show that the pro-
gressiyes had reunited with the old
party and stated that all over the
state the registrations were the
same.
The tariff and the Mexican situa-
tion came in for liberal discussion.
Colonel Washburn of Table Rock,
introduced as the inimitable orator
of Lincoln day banquets," gave a
spicy speech full of witty side re-
marks and catchy phrasing. Charles
Evan Hughes, the man without
flaw in his character or record, 49,
carat pure, extra perfect, sound,
smooth, without a blemish and fully
matured." Woodrow Wilson is a
minority president and we propose
to keen him in the minority"
He outlined the record which
Hughes has made in the past and
prophesied what Hughes will do if
elected.
The nominating committee then
advanced the list of officers for the
branch of the alliance, the nominees
receiving the unanimous endorse
ment of the gathering. All of the
Ashland officers are women, Mrs. D.
Perozzi being president, Mrs. E. d.
Briggs vice-president, Mrs. Emil Peil
secretary and Mrs, A. H. Pracht
treasurer.
Mrs. Hanley closed the meeting
with a few words and the expression
of the intention of the women of the
valley ito show those eastern women
on the Eughes Special what a bunch
of western women can do"

BUY AND GIRLS WIN
STATE FAIR HONORS
Cecil Thompson OF Ontario; Marion
Lowe of Owyhee and Helen
Peck Of Kingman Colony.

First place in the contest for boys,
first and second in the contest for
girls at the state Fair at Salem last
week we're won by representative
from Malheur county. In the coun-
ty contest the general county exhibit
was awarded second place, only 5ovon
points behind the winner. Had their
been o fruit crop this year there is
no doubt that the margin would have
either been wiped out entirely or at
least greatly reduced
The first place in the girls con-
test, Miss Marion Lowe OF owyhee
who entered sewing and canning ex-
hibits took first place for the state,
while second place went to Helen
Peck of Klngman Kolony whose ex-
collent exhibit OF sewing won her
first place in the county contest here
two weeks ago.
Cecil Thompson of Ontario who
has won 40 many first places that he
has to stop to count them, was the
blue ribbon winner in the boys con-
test with his agricultural exhibit
The winning OF first place by Miss
Lowe, second by Miss Peck and first
by Cecil Thompson gives Malheur the
championship OF the state in the edu'
cational exhibits and is the subject
OF no slight qualification on the par
OF Miss Fay Clark and V. V. Hicko'
who selected the exhibits TO 20 to the
state fair.
