OPEN IRRIGATION PLANT.
State Puts in Pumps to Minimize Cost
to Small Farmers.


Tribune. Kan, Nov. 23.-J. w.
Tough, state irrigation commissioner
of Kansas, has installed a seventy-two
horse power oil engine and rotary
pumps east of Tribune, some fourteen
miles This irrigation station is 4
state plant, the results of the Clement
L. Wilson irrigation bill, passed by
the legislature of 1913, and the sta
ton is to be combined and named
after Greeley and Wichita county,
Kansas, and has been located on the
nsas@Colorado boulevard.
Mr.. Tough is confident that there is
enough water in the wells to really
irrigate from a section to 1000 acres
of land, and that the expense or the
plant would make the irrigated lana
at a minimum cost. The object OF the
irrigation law, is to reduce the price
of water and irrigated land to the
small farmer and the man who seeks
and desires a home. And the propo-
sition can be carried nicely under the
farm loan credit bills that nave peeh
SO numerously introduced into the "
eral legislatures.

Dogs Have Their
Hour at Council

Dog licenses came up for hot dis
cussion at council meeting Tuesday.
The recorder stated that last year II
cost more to take dog census and
kill off the dogs whose owners we're
ashamed or too poor to pay their
licenses, than the total amount col
lected from licenses. Councilman
Banta favored going to the length of
hanging the licenses on the owners
of the dogs, presumably as a badge
of honor, if necessary to make every
one who owns a dog pay up.
Editor VOLTS dog, which slum-
bered peacefully just outside the rail-
ing during the talkfest, was brought
into the discussion and Mr.. Wolf
frankly admitted that he had not paid
the license, but believed in dog
licenses and intended to get one.

which is now under dispute. He was

charge of the work and is now work
ing on the government highway in
Crater Lake park.
j. w. Sweeney and his attorney-in-
chief were also down this week and
went over the highway. Mr.. Sweeney
states that "he believes he has them
going" and the attorneys for Jack
son county are confident that the
county will win out. The suit has
cost thousands of dollars to date, but
if won will stand off the payment of
the immense sum asked by Sweeney
for claimed extras"

Charge Current to
Park Board Fund

Although conceding that the lights
in Lithia Park must be kept burning,
the council ran up against knotty
problem in the question of where the
money was coming from to pay for
the current, Tuesday night. The cleo
trical department naturally does not
wish to donate the current and bear
this expense. Finally, although both
the general fund and the park fund
are depleted, it was moved that the
lighting of the parks and any future
installations be charged to the park
board fund with the understanding,
of course, that the bills need not be
paid until funds become available,
which will be when a way of swell
ing the fund for care of the parks is
found.

Council Accepts
Resignation

The resignation of F. E. Watson,
which was filed July 20 with the city
recorder, was accepted without dis
cussion by the council Tuesday even
ing, the mayor stating that he had
opposed holding the meeting upon
which he lays the blame for Mr.. Wat
sons antipathy to the council. At
a meeting of the park board Tuesday,
Mr.. Permission was elected secretary
of the board. Mr.. Watson's resigna-
tion read as follows:
ITO the Mayor and Council of the
City of Ashland:
Gentlemen. ! hereby tender
my resignation as member of the
Ashland Park Commission, to take
effect on Wednesday, August 2, 1916.
] name this date because l am under
obligation to the commission, as its
secretary, to help clean up the work
OF tne present mOHtn.
Il have, until recently, enjoyed my
work upon the commission and have
flattered myself that my services
were of value and were appreciated.
] now resign because of the marked
unfriendly attitude of some members
of the council and more particularly
the mayor, toward the commission.
That attitude has of late become so
pronounced as seriously to embar
rass the commission in the exercise
of the duties imposed upon it by the
charter. Recently it has gone so far
as to encourage, if not to incite, open
defiance of the authority of the com
mission on the part of its employees.
Since this attitude is manifestly
not dictated by regard for the public
good, it seems evident that it is the
result of personal animosity. 1t is
certainly fatal, as ! suppose 1t is in
tended to be, to the usefulness of
the commission.
81 am, therefore, retiring in the
interest of harmony, that the mayor
may fill my place with someone who
will be more subservient than I am
inclined to be.

Sixty Men Form
Government Camp

Under the direction of z. F. Rice,
a party sent out by the United States
government to classify the 100000
acres of the Oregon California rail-
road land grant lands which recently
came back into the hands of the
government, is mobilizing in Ashland
and will commence classification OPP
erations from headquarters estab-
lished at Pinehurst, on the klamath
Falls road. Sixty to seventy men
will be employed in the work, most
of whom are being brought down
from Portland. Supplies have been
arriving for the past several days.
Four and a half tons were shipped
by express, constituting the largest
express shipment ever received here.
Tents and camp paraphernalia in
great quantities has also been as
sembled and is being transported to
Pinehurst by auto truck. Dave
Goods truck left this morning with a
load and the Howard auto line took
a load of men. A total of about 10,-
600 pounds of freight will be taken
to the camp. The party will work
from the klamath county line west
wards first and a systematic cam
paign followed in covering the i'm
mense acreage which must be classi-
fled.
1t is estimated that close to 1,000,-
900 acres will come within the agri-
cultural classification, and this will
throw open to buyers 5000 claims
of 100 acres, which may be pur-
chased at a cost of $3.50 per acre,
according to the grant land act.
When the land is thrown open the
government officials expect to have
dozens of applications for the best
claims and many for all of the agri-
cultural claims.
The work will be rushed through
in an effort to complete the classifi-
cation before winter sets in, so that
the lands may be thrown open to
entry.
