Summer Will See
Farnham Hill Paved

The findings of the board of ap-
praisers which estimated the damage
which would accrue to the Arnold
property from the proposed new rout-
ing of the paved highway up Billings
of Farnham hill have been approved
by the county court. The Southern
Pacific has submitted plans of the
undergrade crossing and contract
to the court for approval. The con-
tract will not be accepted until Attor-
ney Reames has had an opportunity
to go over it. The railroad expects to
have the steel for the span over
Wrights creek here by May /, and 1t
begins to appear that the paved road
up the hill will be finished before
many months have passed. 94 IS

Ordinance Forces
Skaters from Walks

Mayor Johnson cast his vote in fa-
vor of the ordinance prohibiting roll
er skating and coasting on the side
walks in Ashland at Tuesdays coun-
Gil meeting. He stated that while
personally he was in favor of giving
the children all the fun they could
have, he had found that the law gave
residents a very legal right to the
sidewalks adjoining, and he saw no
way but to put aside his personal
feelings and vote for the ordinance.
This ordinance does not apply to
the streets, however, and children
may skate in the streets. The coun-
cilmen discovered this fact toward
the latter part of the meeting and
will probably take action to prohibit
skating in the streets also, as the
danger to the children's lives is great
er than any harm which might result
from skating on the sidewalks.
A communication was read from
the Civic improvement Club which
asked the council to let the children
skate on the sidewalks.
The mayor stated that he hoped
that the passage of the ordinance
would provide stimulus for the
building OF skating floors for the chill
iren on the school, grounds or else
and stating that he had been
told such floors could be constructed |
At comparatively small cost. Several
Of the councilmen spoke favoring the
of skating floors.

Great Physician | -<E
Sanctions Waters

An Ashland lady who had been
undergoing course of treatment for
some months at st. Francis hospital
in San Francisco under DR.. John
Galloway, returned recently to Ash
land and upon the advise of the
doctor is taking hot sulphur baths
and drinking Lithia water freely. DR..
Galloway told her that he had looked
into the efficacy of the mineral wat
ers and had made study of the eff
fects which might result from proper
treatment using the waters and paid
a high compliment to the therapeutic
value of the Ashland waters.
The lady was greatly pleased with
the advice since she had not men
toned the subject to DR.. Galloway or
the hospital management. DR.. Gal
oway is one of the biggest physicians
and surgeons on the Coast, has an
enormous practise and has had the
advantage Of European training and
experience as well. He is widely
known throughout the Coast states
and is president of the St. Francis
Hospital cooperation.
Endorsement of the curative prop
critics of the Ashland waters, coming
in such direct and unsolicited |
manner from physician of DR.. Gallo
ways standing, means a great deal
% the health resort ambitions of Ash
and.
This sanction of the Ashland min
eral waters and the direct results
which are bound to follow, that is,
he sending of other patients to Ash
and for treatment, comes as a direct
esult of the activities of the public
ty department of the Springs Water
commission, which has sent person.
j letter calling the doctors atten-
ion to the enclosed booklet of water
nalyses and the properties of the ;
lshland waters and asking his study
f the same, to every doctor on the

Ashland MOhair
Pool Sets Record

What it is claimed are the highest
prices ever paid in the history of the
mohair industry in Oregon, were Sc
cured Saturday at the sales held at
Ashland, Brownsville and Corvallis.
All told some 1S,500 pounds were dis
posed of, and the prices ranged from
42h cents pound to 4915 cents, the
latter smashing every known record.
The bidding was keen, several firms
submitted bids which they were sure
would carry off the pool. Everywhere
there seemed to be a concerted eff
fort to beat out one Portland firm
which has been boosting prices for
some time.
At Ashland the pool consisted of
$4,000 pounds. The buyer was ]. N.
Dennis, representing Theodore Bern
helm & Co., OF Portland, he paying
42.55 cents a pound. The hair was
Of fine quality.
Earlier in the day, the pool of go
fleeces, or some 5000 pounds, at Cor
wallis had been disposed of to Will
lam Brown & Co., of Salem, at a rec
ord price of 43A cents a pound. Like
the Ashland pool, this hair was also
of fine quality and was much sought
after.
The Brownsville pool OF $500
pounds approximately, was also
bought by William Brown & Co., of
Salem, at 421a cents a pound. This
sale was made about the same time
the Ashland pool was sold.
Considering freight rates the Ash
land pool really brought the highest
price. Freights from Ashland to Port
land amount to 80 cents, while from
Corvallis they are only 25 cents a
hundred. This was taken into con-
sideration in the bidding. 1t is said
had the freights been on a parity, or
nearly so, the Ashland pool would
have brought in the vicinity of "A
cents.
There is a report in circulation that
at Eugene a sale of a small lot of
fancy mohair has been made at 46h
cents pound. While there is no con-
firmation of the rumor, it is not gen.
orally credited. 1t is known that one
local company was called by long dis
lance phone and told an offer of 46
cents had been made and they could
have it for a half cent more. Natur-
ally they turned it down.

How to Thaw Dynamite

The following directions for thswinE

side. the national farm paper published
in Springfield. Ohio. The method is safe
and can be employed to advantage almost
anywhere.
Dynamite will freeze 1t should be
thawed out before it is used. This can
he done with an old barrel of some kind
and A fve-gallon can having a closed
top. Fill the can with boiling water.
Have the bottom Of the barrel covered
with straw about three inches deep.
Place the filled can in the barrel and lay
the sticks OF dynamite around 1t. II
may be advisable to cover the hot can
with a sack so that the can does not
touch directly any Of the explosive The
dynamite may be laid to the height OF
the can. and in such a way as to allow
free circulation OF heat Then NIL the
barrel with sacks to hold the heat. Holes
in the bottom of the barrel will guard
against the danger Of having free water
held there should any be accidentally
spilled. 4 five-gallon can Of hot water
is sufficient to thsw fifty pounds of dyna-
mite There is no danger Of explosion
in this process as the heat within the
barrel about the the dynamite does not
exceed 50 degrees
