Park Superintendent
Graves Discharged

Superintendent p. II. Graves of the
Ashland parks was discharged Satur-
day by the park board and left Sun
day for San Francisco. According to
members of the park board, lack of
funds made the laying off of all the
men and the discharge of Mr.. Graves
necessary. Mr.. Graves was sent here
by John McLaren, the famous land
scape artist and park designer of San
Francisco, who laid out Lithia park
at the request of President Sproule
of the Southern Pacific Company,
Mr.. Graves is regarded by Mr. Nc
Laren as a very valuable man and 1t
is understood that the discharged
man goes from here to much better
position which has been open to him
near San Francisco but which he has
refused heretofore owing to his in
terest in the creation of Lithia park
here.
In the time that he has been here
Mr.. Graves has gained some wonder
full effects in Lithia park, as anyone
who visits the park can testify. The
entrancing perpetual color schemes
which hic flnwerq nniutnd opoinct tha
green backgrounds of the park, all
of which were planted less than
year ago. give only hint Of the eff
fects which may be gained by system
attic planting for future years Of pc
rennial shrubs, bulbs and plants. His
in the park has been that of
a sculptor in his masterpiece, and
Ashland loses a very valuable man in
the departure of Mr.. Graves.

BeetS Conquer
Rogue Valley

With the sugar company offering
the unprecedented price Of 81 per ton
for the next years crop Of sugar
beets, contracts are being signed up
all over the valley and hundreds of
acres of new beet land vii be devoted
to the production of sugar beets next
fall. Practically all of the farmers
who raised beets and had water on
their land made big money on beets
at $3.50 end s. per ton, and big prof
its are looked forward to next year.
The Houck place, just above George
Dunn's, has been leased by the beet
company and is being plowed. The
beet men have a caterpillar engine
working in this end of the valley.
Two japanese are negotiating with
several land owners in the upper val
ley in an endeavor to lease $50 acres
or more for beet raising.
The beets raised in the Rogue Riv-
er valley seem to have very high
saccharine content, and that the val
ley is an ideal beet raising section is
confirmed by the top notch price paid
for the beets.
The Japs who are looking for land
near here state that a great flood Of
water is not needed, but that there
must be some water available unless
the land is subirrigated in some man.
ner. Too much water sacrifices the
saccharine for bulk.

EndeYS' Ticket
Now Complete

It appears that Enders now has his
ticket completed and is ready to take
over the city of Ashland on Decem-
Der 10. From reliable reports 1t
stands as follows:
For mayor, c. B. Lamkin.
Council, First ward, S. B. Stoner'
Council, Second ward, j. n. Den
mis-.
Council, Third ward, w. w. Cald-
well.
City Attorney, j. A. Lemery.
Chief of Police, j. o. Riggs.
Enders is a sly old political fox
He evidently believes in frameup
that will catch the voters coming ana
going. With Lamkin he expects TO
land the Presbyterian church vote;
while he catches the Methodists with
Riggs for chief of police and the Mis-
sion vote with Lemery.
If his ticket wins two things may
be confidently expected. First the
mineral springs fountains will be es-
tablished in front Of Enders' store
and the park turned into a COW pas
ture; and, second, all of the powers
of city government vii be used to put
all competitive merchants on the
hummer. Enders' main objects in
life for the past five years have been
to make the bats roost in the Plaza
and to run every other merchant out
of town. He has gone up and down
the streets of Ashland all this time
declaring that he was going to do
these things. and if he wins his ticket
he will be able to do it.
It remains to be seen whether the
church vote of Ashland is to be
caught on that kind of a hook and
allow itself to be used by a designing
politician to wreak his vengeance on
his competitors and destroy one end
of the city of Ashland for the benefit
of Enders' property.

Many Turn From
Turkey to Chicken

An unorganized but very effective
boycott on turkey played the deuce
with the turkey merchants in Ash
land who laid in big supply of
Thanksgiving birds. The high price
set on the birds caused a great many
to revert to chicken, duck or rabbit
for the centerpiece of the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner, and as a result many
dressed turkeys were left hanging in
the shops when the stores closed
Thanksgiving eve.

More Amendments
Are Reported

1t is reported that plans are being
laid to submit charter amendment
to the people which will dispense
with the springs water commission
and place the control of the mineral
water system in the hands of the city
council, and second proposition to
abolish both springs water commits
sion and park board and place con-
troll of park and system in the hands

Valley Cowboy
To Teach Busting

A New Orleans dispatch Of Novem-
ber II says: William Henry Fer
guson of Central Point, Ore, known
in his home state as Big Bill, once
champion broncho buster and expert
rifle shot, passed through here on
his way to Sarasota, Fla, where he
will spend the winter in teaching the
four grandchildren of Mrs. Potter
Palmer of Chicago how to shoot.
Mrs. Palmer met Ferguson while in
Oregon and was impressed with him.
She offered him $3.50 month to
teach the young men how to ride and

Optimistic About
0regOn's Mines

Portland Telegram; Through the
apathy of Oregonians the mining in
dustry OF the state is languishing,
when it should be one of the most
active industries declared w. G.
Page, San Francisco mining man,
who is in Portland today. He pre-
diets that a few years more will find
southern Oregon humming with min
ing activity.
The state has some splendid cop
per properties and should develop a
great mining district particularly in
Jackson, Douglas and Josephine
counties" said Mr.. Page. "The
trouble with Oregon is that its own
citizens do not go into the business.
They have bought cheap stocks in
some instances and then believed
that they were mining. Properly
handled the mining business has no
risk attached to it other than the
risk of money that goes into prelim-
mary examination of prospects,
Eastern capital has its eye on
Oregon's mining district and will
waste no time in getting hold of the
best prospects unless Oregonians
themselves take steps to corral them
Now that the railroad is extended
through to Marshfield, look for de
velopment of the copper lodes, and
logically copper ore will be smelted
on the coast, probably in the Coos
Bay section"
