Low Rates for
Weekend Here

Chiefly through the efforts of local
Southern Pacific Agent G. N. Kramer,
low round-trip weekend fares have
been granted by the Southern Pacific
Company from all stations between
here and Roseburg. This is to be-
come effective on May 20. The rate
is to be fare and a third. The tick
cts are to be on sale on Saturday and
Sunday of every week after the Goth
and the return limit is the following
Monday from the date of sale. The
railroad company is advertising these
rates widely, as is also the CONNER
cial Club. This should make it pos
sible for many more people to visit
the park. The crowds are already
very large, and with this addition the
park should almost overflow.
This is only one of many things
that the Southern Pacific Company
has done for the springs project. Be-
sides giving the rates, they are doing
a great deal of advertising, thus aid
ing the work of the publicity depart
ment. The company has issued a
special tariff schedule end is covering
the territory between Ashland and
Roseburg.

Pageant TO Be
Annual Event

The Masque of Myths-a pageant
Tuesday evening, May 23, in the au.
tomobile park.
A synopsis of "The Heart of the
World. A little boy who is des.
tined to be a great man is carried to
the heart of the world in a dream
and all the myths of all the ages at.
tend him and show him the secrets of
the heart Of man. He is shown
Beauty by the Greek myths, Power
by the Saxon myths, Woodcraft and
Field-lore by the German elves, Pas
time by the Gaelic fairies, but none
can show him Love.
Since he keeps asking them which
one of the myths can show him Love,
they finally tell him it can be found
only on the earth.
Each scene depicts him as besought
to remain in Mythland, but each time
he refuses because they can not show
him Love.
The last episode shows him a NOR
tai bewitched, who can be released
only by the love of another mortal.
The boy breaks the spell and the
mortal tells him that this is really not
the heart Of the world, because Love
is not found.
Together they leave the spot with
all its charm and beauty to find The
real heart Of the world with human
kind. The sylvan beauty of the
grove, the charm and grace of the
goddesses appeal to the soul of all
lovers OF the beautiful and true.
Out of class of $50 who have
studied and drilled for twelve months,
Mrs. Hovey has selected the most
graceful and competent and beautiful
to put on this fascinating program.
This program is to be the first fea-
ture in an established annual gather
ing of four counties.
Ashlanders, comet Let us show
our willingness to build up the spirit
of fellowship and goodwill. Show
your enthusiasm by influencing other
friends to attend. Come; let this
beautiful mythical pageant carry you
back to the happy days of childhood
and cause you to live over again that
ideal period.
Admission 25 cents; proceeds to be
divided between the Greater Medford
Club and the Ashland Civic Improve
ment Club.
Give us liberal patronage.

Jury Foreman
UphOlds Wilson

Gold Hill, Ore, May IS, 1916.
To the Editor of the Ashland It'd
ings:
In a recent issue of the Ashland
Record note a letter of B. G. Hub
bard, relative to the testimony in the
Martin case, of e. w. Wilson, deputy
sheriff and candidate for the republi-
can nomination for sheriff. Having
been foreman of the jury in the Mar
tin case and having heard all the
testimony given at that trial, desire
to state to the people of Jackson
county that the evidence given by
Wilson was no more material in the
making Of our verdict than that CIV
en- by other witnesses.
I am in nowise interested in Mr..
Wilson's campaign, but feel that Mr..
Hubbard's letter was published Who'll
ly for political purposes and to injure
Mr.. Wilson's candidacy for sheriff.

Report Conditions
On Fire Service

The report OF the Underwriters
Equitable Rating Bureau was read in
the council meeting Tuesday. 1t was
mainly as follows:
Five hundred feet of new fire hose
are needed and more of the two
way" type hydrants. 1t is essential
to figure maximum conditions in
making preparation for fires. It is
on account of this that the two-way
hydrants are needed. In some of the
outskirts of the town it is almost i'm
possible to procure two streams Of
water in one neighborhood at the
same time. There is almost always
danger from flying shingles spread
ing fire, which makes it almost i'm
perative to have more than one
stream. Two streams should be
made the minimum. The mains are
not all large enough to supply pres
sure by two streams. These should
be replaced by new ones as fast as
possible.
The outskirts of town are the
places where the most improvement
is needed. OF course there, there is
not as much danger of the spreading
of fire as in the thickly settled part
of town. This condition should be
improved as the town grows. No fur
ther installations of mains smaller
than four-inch should be made. No
other town the size of Ashland in the
state is now installing smaller than
four-inch mains.
The council is taking the steps rec
commended to put the system in better
condition.

Mayor Johnson
Explains Action

The following letter read in coun-
Gil meeting explains Mayor Johnson's
attitude in casting his vote on the
side of the negative in regard to the
appropriation of $500 for the secur-
ing of a band for the Fourth of July
celebration:
Ashland, Ore, May 10, 1916.
ITO the Common Council of the City
of Ashland, Ore.
Gentlemen: AS you are aware, l
have been strongly in favor OF donat-
ing from the city funds reasonable
amount toward the Fourth of July
celebration to be held at this place,
If such donation could be legally made
from any of the funds OF the city. 1t
seems clear, from the opinion rem
dered by the city attorney, that such
donation would not be proper ex-
pense of the city and consequently
could not be legally appropriated
from the general fund, even if there
were available money in that fund,
from which such appropriation could
be made, which there is not.
"The only fund, as I view it, from
which the city could legally appro-
pirate to this celebration, is the pub
licity fund. The total amount levied
by the council last December for pub
licity purposes, amounts to $555. Up
to date the city has only received on
account of taxes collected for this
fund the sum OF $15S.31. The char
ter provision for the creation of this
fund provides that out of the fund
the council shall appropriate $500 to
the Chautauqua Association. So far,
there has only been $50 furnished to
the association, and the balance oil
the fund, so far collected, has been
donated to the Ashland band, leaving
this fund practically depleted.
ut is plain that we have no money
vailable for the purpose of making
this donation, and that we shall have
to decline doing so, Notwithstanding
our great desire to make this celebra-
tion grand success, and to ass st in
accomplishing that and by all legal
and proper means possible.
81 am therefore constrained to cast
my vote against making this appro-
priation."
In order that the Springs Dedca-
tion celebration may not fall short
of the measure of immensity which is
planned, it will be necessary for sew
eral hundred dollars more to be sub
scribed, following upon the decision
of Mayor Johnson in regard to the
city's appropriating $500 to the fund.
Ashland cannot afford to fall down
on this celebration, and a request for
funds should meet with
ready response.
o. H. JOHNSON.
Mayor of the City of Ashland"

Will Move'Red Bluff
Terminal To Gerber

A dispatch from Red Bluff to the
Sacramento Bee says that the Smith
Sales Company, through W. H. Smith,
has made announcement that it has
been officially advised by the South
ern Pacific railroad officials that the
terminal will be moved from Red
Bluff to Gerber on July 1, 1916. The
company has completed its water and
oil tanks and crews are now working
on the roundhouse. The removal of
the terminal to Gerber will mean
about a $4,000 a month payroll, ac-
cording to conservative estimates.

Singler Endorses
E. w. Wilson

Statement by w. H. singler in re-
gard to candidacy of E. W. Wilson,
who is seeking republican nominal
tion for sheriff:
have been requested by friends
of law enforcement and clean politics
to submit statement as to the work
of Mr., Wilson in the sheriff's office
during the incumbency of myself as
sheriff, and in replying l have the
following to offer.
Il. w. Wilson has for the past three
and one-half years been chief deputy,
directly in charge of the service and
criminal department of the office; he
has also rendered valuable aid to the
tax department, and during his re-
gime as deputy, a complete reorgan-
izat!on of tax collections has been in-
augurated, the expense of collections
greatly reduced better service rem
dered, and a great amount Of work
on delinquent taxes done, in an effort
to collect such delinquencies.
Three foreclosure suits aggregat-
ing $4,000 in behalf OF the county
have been instituted, and delinquent
taxes for several years back carried
forward and noted on current tax
rolls.
The vast experience gained by Mr..
Wilson has fitted him to render very
valuable services to the taxpayers,
and l do not believe it advisable that
radical change be made in this i'm
portant office at this time.
! can say without successful con-
tradiction that the sheriff's office is
in the best condition in the history
of Jackson county. This is in a great
measure due to the untiring efforts
of Mr.. Wilson, and | sincerely recon-
mend him to the voters of the county
as man Of exemplary morals and
habits, and especially fitted to con-
duct a rigid enforcement of our new
prohibition statute.
An official audit of all county Of
fices recently finished and approved
by the court on March A, 1916, con-
tains the following in regard to the
sheriff's office:
Total collections and fees, $685.
9O4.91. All of these tax collections
have been promptly deposited in the
treasury. The sheriff is observing
law requiring all delinquents to be-
brought forward on the current rolls
and entered upon the tax receipts.
This is huge task, and they are do
ing the work as diligently as possi-
BILE during the stress of heavy tax
collection. 1t is praiseworthy In the
sheriff to find his office administered
with no hustle or confusion. Only
expert men are employed in the of
flee, in the tax collections and other
departments of the office. And 1t is
a great pleasure to find Jackson
county coming forward as one of the
best differed and equipped counties
in the state. Undoubtedly it is econ
Omy to employ only efficient men In
the office of tax collector. have
scanned every tax collection and
every fee coming into the office and
| find nothing out of place nor en-
tered wrongly. This is an unusually
good record"
believe Mr.. Wilson's work merits
your further approval by giving him
your support in the coming election
Respectfully submitted,
ADV. w. II. SINGLER-
