a few drops of drug called freezone

once. and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries immediate y

pense the past year was $6S,O47 A
neat saving was made in election ex-
pense this year over 1914, although
this year was a heavier election, car
rying presidential candidates. In
1914 the election expense totaled So
40, while this year it was cut to
$7407, a net saving of 1899. The
circuit court expense was 1899 less
this year than last. Care of poor

Both Of the banks passed resolu-

Whereas, Mr.. G. S. Butler, on ac-
count of impairment of his hearing,
has felt impelled to tender his resig-
nation as a director of the First Nar
tional Bank of Ashland; and
Whereas, Mr.. Butler has been a
stockholder in this bank since 1904
and was stockholder in the pioneer

City Raids Hotel to
Stop Current Theft

The first step in determined cam
paign to put an end to the theft of
electrical current in Ashland was TAX
en- by the city authorities last Satur-
day when, armed with search war
rants, the Depot hotel was raided and
six electric stoves found in the first
six rooms entered. The Depot hotel
is on flat rate and had been paying
for current for lights only. Manager
j. P. Wolfe was bound over to the
grand jury on $3.50 bonds. Theft of
electric current is believed by the city
authorities to be the greatest problem
which they have to fight in making
the municipality owned plant remain
on paying basis II is believed that
current lost through unrepOrted cleo
trical devices runs into total of sew
eral hundred dollars loss every month
and the authorities are determined to
put stop to the law breaking. Sew
eral others are on the list, according
to the city officials, and other raids
will follow unless there is general
mending Of ways.
The unlawful use of current is a
felony under Section 1892, Lords
Oregon laws, and is punishable by a
fine of from $50 to $500 or a Jail
sentence. The case is in the hands of
the state, not the city, as it is a state
law.
The Depot hotel was selected to
become the example" because fla
grant law-breaking had become evi-
dent. A search warrant was issued
by District Attorney Roberts, and the
electric light committee, consisting Of
Messrs. Lamb, Cornelius and Cald-
well, accompanied by other city Of
ficials, visited the hotel. Manager
Wolfe objected strenuously to a
search being made, but when the
warrant was procured, withdrew his
objections. The first six rooms en-
tered contained stoves merrig burn
ing, and this being considered sGffi-
cient evidence, the stoves were con-
fiscated and taken to the city hall.
They were later returned when Mr..
Wolfe gave receipt for them.

as the score would indicate, although
Yreka showed exceptional bursts of

of the game was certain, the locals
leading the first half with a score of

State Bank Is
In Fine Condition

Granite City Savings Bank, of
which the State Bank is the success
sor, was organized in April, 1907,
and was first housed in the east half
Of the present Provost Brothers
store; later was moved to the corner
of Oak and Main streets, after the
First National moved to its present
quarters, and later the bank pur-
chased the present quarters facing
the Plaza.
G. S. Butler has been president
from its organization until January
II, when he resigned owing to his
hearing becoming so defective as to
make him feel unable to longer pre-
side at meetings.
The State Bank of Ashland has an
enviable record for careful business
management, as the first loan
charged off It's books since organiza-
tion occurred on January 4 this year
and was for only $25. The policy of
the management has been to declare
but few dividends, which have
amounted to $3,250, but yearly, to
lessen furniture and future account,
or building and lot account. At its
last meeting $1,000 was charged off
of building account and $500 was
carried to surplus account, which was
done instead of declaring a per cent
dividend.

Gold Hill District
Votes Irrigation

By a vote OF seventeen for and
eight against, farmers of the Gold
Hill and Foots Creek districts Friday
sanctioned the creation of the Gold
Hill irrigation district. This vote
gives the required 60 per cent of
votes cast.
The land coming within the dis
trict embraces about 1900 acres ly-
ing along the south side of Rogue
river between the towns of Gold Hill
and Rogue River in what are known
as the Riverside Colony and Foets
Creek district.
The cost Of supplying water to the
land is estimated at S35 per acre.
Water will be taken from Rogue
river about three miles above Gold
Hill and will be carried to the land
in a ditch about fifteen miles long.
Work will begin at once and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The land embraced in the district
is devoted to the raising of alfalfa
and fruit, but with the addition of
water considerable acreage will be
planted to sugar beets. The soil is
a light sandy loan and is peculiarly
adapted to the raising of either al
falfa or beets.
The following officers were elected
for the district: c. W. Mcdonald,
treasurer; directors, George B. Alden,
c. r. Boyd and F. D. Eisman.

Begins Next Monday

The second semester OF the Ash
land schools will begin Monday, jan
uary %.
All children who are now six years
of age or will be by March Is, 1917,
should enter school at that time.
Usually the beginning classes are
smaller at the mid-year than they are
in September. For that reason more
time can be given to each individual
than in the fall semester. Also the
severe weather is over, making it
quite a favorable time for the little
folks to be in school.
All parents are urged to get the
children who will be six by March 10,
1917, in school on Monday, January
%, 1917.
The second semester of the high
school begins at that time. 1t may
be there are some young men and
young women, who have no regular
employment, and who should like to
continue work along some line in
which they have special interest. To
such there is extended cordial invi-
tation to interview the superintend-
ent or the high school principal. The

pie of Ashland, so let's make it serve
