Amendment Still
On Council Table

The park charter amendment
question proposed by the Commercial
Club trustees was not discussed by
the city council Tuesday night at a
special meeting planned for that pur-
pose owing to the absence of Mayor
Johnson and Councilman Ashcraft,
The meeting was an adjourned ses-
sion from the adjourned meeting of
last Friday A few minor matters
were taken care of, however. A res
ident of the west end of town APP
peared before the council regarding
the moving of fence which neigh
Dor claims was on land which had
been opened as an alley The matter
was referred to the street committee
for investigation. The payment of
the bonds coming due this month
was authorized e. V. Jones was
granted permission to install gasO-
line pump and tank in front of his
garage on East Main street at the
same location as formerly occupied
by the Ford garage. Attorney Moore
called the councils attention to the
condition of the sidewalk on the west
side of North Main street from Cool
idge on out. This sidewalk is one
of the very few pieces of board walk
left in Ashland, and according to Mr..
Moore is in bad shape. He stated
that he has had occasion to defend
the city in a previous case wherein
lady sprained her ankle by trip
ping over a loose board on side
walk and that the law stated so
plainly that the city was liable in
such case that he had advised a
settlement, which was made. To
avoid any contingency of injuries and
resultant damages he advised that
the North Main street walk be fixed,
and the matter was referred to the
street committee. The proposition of
preparing a charter amendment for
re assessment of property is else
where discussed.

Vacuum Exists
In County Jail

The county jail is empty of prison
ers, or at any rate was empty on Sat
urday, for the second time in seven
years. The caretakers took advan-
tage of the opportunity by giving the
Jail a thorough renovation, says Dep
uty Sheriff Curly Wilson, who was
in town the other day. Last July
the Jail was vacant for one day
Previous to that the last state of
vacuum existed seven years ago when
the jail was uninhabited for six
hours. Dry Oregon" is given a
great deal of the credit for the lack
of criminal cases this year.

Better Hide in
The Cellar Sunday

The rattle of shot on the tin roofs
of Ashland and the steady booming
of guns from along and across Bear
creek will usher in the pheasant and
quail season at daybreak Sunday,
The opening of the bird season and
Sunday coming simultaneously will
cause the greatest bombardment of
recent wears, and those who are
obliged by the pressure of business
to cross the areas under fire had best
provide themselves with bombproof
automobiles.
Say, fellows, if you haven't got a
license, watch out for the guy with
the shiny badge. Better save your
self the worry, though, by plunking
down your dollar and obeying the
law.
The duck and geese season opens
all over Oregon Sunday and stays
open until January 18th. 1t is a lit
tie early for ducks in this county
owing to the late summer.
Pheasant season opens Sunday and
lasts for ten days only. Pheasants
are said to be very scarce in this
county although ten days last year
was the extent of the season. The
unusual weather or some pest is be-
lieved to have aided the hunters In
decreasing the number of these beau
tiful game birds. The grouse season
also opens for the month Jackson
county is one of the four counties Of
the state which has an open quail
season. Quail may be chased over
the hills and dales between October
and 81 in this county.
The dove season, which has been
open during September, does not
close until October 81.

Charter Change Will
Allow Re-AsSeSSment

City Attorney Moore is preparing
a charter amendment through au-
thority given him by the city coun-
Gil, which will be presented to the
voters of Ashland at the next elec-
tion, either special or regular, prob
ably going over to the regular fall
election. The amendment will pr
vide for the re-assessment of prop
erty in the city should any present
assessment be decided null because
of a technical error. It is merely a
safeguard against error, no emer'
gency existing for its passage. AS
explained by Attorney Moore, the
proposition is somewhat as follows
At present there are some few as
sessments against certain pieces Cf
property in Ashland which have not
been paid. When the time comes
for closing out on this property
should the owner contest the assess
ment, and should the courts find a
flaw in the method or manner of as
sessment, the city would be the lose:
not only of the one but of others
who would probably also object to
payment. In most cities provision
against such a contingency is made
by a re-assessment clause whereby
the city can re-assess such piece Of
property, providing Improvement to
the property by the project for which
it was assessed can he shown. or
course, the city might never need
such a safeguard, but ATTORNEY
Moore suggested that it would be-
playing safety first" to have such
an amendment passed, and on unan-
imous vote of the council the amend
ment will be prepared and will an
pear on the next city election ballot.

Radical Changes
In Train Service

A sweeping change in the time of
arrival and departure of several
Southern Pacific trains has been an
nounced by the company to take eff
feet on October l. The changes are
the most radical which have been
made for some time. One new train
is added.
The Shasta Limited trains Nos II
and 12 and nOrthbound train No. IA
are the only ones whose time of ar
rival and departure remain un-
changed.
Southbound train No. 13, which
has been arriving at 1880 a. m, will
after Sunday arrive at 9.45 a. M,
departing at 10 a. m.
Southbound train No. Is, which
has been arriving at 4;50 p. m, Will
hereafter arrive at 1880 p. m. and
depart at 11:45 p, m.
Northbound train No. 16. which
has been arriving at 490 p. m, will
arrive an hour later, at $50 p. M,
leaving at $3.50 p. m.
A new train known as No. II will
arrive here from Portland at 5:15
D. m. and will go no farther south,
the equipment being returned on No.
IA to Portland This train will bring
the Portland morning papers and
will run on local schedule.
Several changes in mail and other
departments of Ashland life will be
entailed by the schedule changes. In
all probability the evening delivery
of mail in the business district will
have to be dispensed with as the mail
will get to the postoffice only few
minutes before o'clock
The mail from No 16 and No. II,
providing that train carries mail,
will arrive at the postoffice at about
$40 and will no more than be de-
livered bang!-down goes
the delivery window. Boxes will no
doubt be at a premium as a result,
Trips to northern California will
be easier of accomplishment in one
day. Leaving here on 13 at 10
o'clock a. M, the traveller can return
on No. 16 at $50, having several
hours in northern California.
Train service from Ashland north
and from the north to Ashland will
both be more suitable than at pres
ent for one-day trips. Visitors from
the north on Sunday, for instance,
can have from 9.45 in the morning
until $50 at night in Ashland.
The Shasta Limited and No. 10
will be the only trains which do not
arrive in Ashland during the day
time.

Civic Club PicnicS
and Meets in Park

The Ashland Civic Improvement
Club, the strongest and most influ-
ential women's club of southern Ore
gon, took an inventory OF assets and
liabilities and laid plans for the COM
ing year at largely attended out
door meeting held in Lithia park
last Tuesday. The club has been re-
Gently incorporated, now having the
right to own property under the club
name. The committee which recent
ly organized city-wide campaign to
collect old magazines and sell the
paper reported a clear profit of over
fifty dollars. During the past few
months the club has liquidated 4
number of indebtednesses gained
through the several projects which
it successfully carried through dur
ing the past year, and now has bal
ance of over 500 with which the
begin the winters work The club
plans to send delegates to the State
Federated Club meet at Seaside in
October. Last spring the matter Of
building a club house on land recent
ly bought by the city for park pur-
poses was taken up with the council
and received favorably. In all prob
ability the project will be revived
and a club home started this winter
Several plans for the coming months
were discussed, and the club, with
its membership of over two hundred
promises to take its usual prominent
place in forwarding the welfare of
the city. Previous to the business
meeting a picnic dinner was held at
which each member was supposed to
introduce a stranger or newcomer
The "get-acquainted" feature was a
marked success The Oakland Boys
Club band members, who were
camped in Chautauqua park, were
guests at the dinner, as were also
/ the husbands of the club members
The success of the picnic feature was
due in a large measure to the efforts
of Mesdames Briggs, Rocho and Pat
terson, to whom the club rendered
an unanimous vote Of thanks.
The program features of the day
followed the business meeting. Mrs
Briggs discussed "Tlower Gardens,
Their Cultivation and Esthetic Value
in the Household" giving some new
and interesting thoughts on the sub
ject. Mrs. Lamkin gave reading,
What is the Matter With Burton?'
which was appropriate to the clubs
determination to carry forward the
Identification work which has been
so we'll begun. Mesdames Barber,
Gamblers, Whittle and Wiltshire dis
cussed Household Helps" in an in
teresting way.
The day was ideal for an outdoor
meeting and the attendance was un-
usually large. The Civic Club mem
bers feel that they have the biggest
year of the clubs life ahead of them
and are determined to set pace
which the men of Ashland will find
hard to follow.
