Forest Fires Nearby
Beyond Control

Word was received this forenoon
that the forest fire. near Humming
Bird springs is beyond control and
an effort is being made today to pro-
cure additional fire fighters. The
fire is burning down the slopes into
the government reserve and is endan-
gering the citys water supply.
The big fire, which has been rag
ing for the past week, has been under
control several times, but has again
gotten a big start 1t has burned
over about 200 acres already, and
unless gotten under control very soon
the city water supply will be perma-
nently crippled. If it continues, the
business houses of Ashland may have
to close their doors to help fight the
flames as they did in 1911.

Trained Animals
Shown in c. P.

Arthur Aitchley, the well-known
animal trainer who lives west of Cen
trail Point, gave an exhibition of his
work at the Central Point Opera
House not long ago The wonderful
miniature horse that he received
from the east last spring was exhibit
ed for the first time. This little pony
stands only a little more than two
feet high and has been taught by Mr..
Aitchley to do many remarkable
tricks. He also showed his two dogs,
Dodo and Dunn Dunn, which he has
been training. The many stunts per-
formed by these animals were very
nicely done and is q credit to Mr..
Aitchleys ability as a trainer of ami
mails. These animals will soon be
ready for the road, says Mr. Aitch-
ley.

0. & c. Land Grant
Opening Delayed

Opening of the Oregon & California
grant lands, for which arrangements
nave been practically completed by
the general land office at Washing
ton, D. c., is clouded with uncertain
ty as a result of the attorney gen
erals opinion advising against pay
ment of any penalties or interest on
taxes to be paid by the government.
Senator Chamberlain believes the
attorney generals office is wrong on
the law in saying the taxes are not
lien on the lands. Congressman Sim
mott held the same view, and it is
also known that some of the attorney
generals advisers do not agree with
the opinion, which Is rendered in his
name by Assistant Kearfut.
Commissioner Tallman of the gem
eral land office plainly is stumped by
the opinion. He withholds comment
and is undecided whether to follow
the advice Of the department of JUS
tice and proceed with the effort to
dispose Of the lands, with an appar-
ent cloud resting upon the title
Sinnott has written Attorney Cen
cral Brown of Oregon, inviting sug-
gestions for solutions. It Is consid-
cred certain that congress will do
nothing, since its legal advisor re-
ports that no lien for taxes exists
and any payment by the government
would be mere gratuity. Assistant
Attorney General Kearfut, comment
Ing on his opinion, was positive in
The declaration that the taxes create
no lien on the lands. He does not
feel called Oh to advise congress as to

les, II not satisfied with settlement ,

lst Company Now
Ready for Duty

The local 1st company, Coast Ar
tillery, are now recruited to 1O4 men
and 1t is probable that it will come
to full war strength of 109 men be-
fore or soon after the call for mobil-
ization, which will be issued Wednes-
day. Captain Malone is highly satis-
fled with the company, and under his
able captaincy the local organization
will prove to be one of the finest or
ganizatlons of Coast Artillery on the
coast, a record which it has held for
the past few years. The personal ap-
pearance of each man is excellent.
and during the encampment at Fort
Stevens in the past years a member
of the 1st company could always he
picked out from the men of the other
companies by the cleanness and neat
ness of his attire.
The men are all anxious to be
called and thus settle the unsettled
condition which they have been
placed in since last March. The men
who are out Of town are returning
daily and every man will be on hand
tomorrow night to report to the arm
ory Wednesday morning.
Considerable equipment has ar
rived, but a good many of the men
will have to go to the mobilization
point In their civilian clothes. This
Is the condition all over the state,
and over seven hundred men in the
state who will be modified Wednes-
day will have to leave without equip
ment.
Several new commissioned Of
ficers, have been appointed and the
of squads will take place
soon. The out-of-town men will live
N the armory after mobilization,
while those who live in town can eat
md sleep at their homes II they de-
sire.
The company has no idea when
hey will leave or where they will go,
although II is highly probable that
hey will leave within ten days after
he call for mobilization and their
destination will probably be Fort
Stevens, at the mouth of the Colum-
oia river.

Goddard Concert
Is Disappointment

The James Goddard grand concert
given last Thursday evening was the
only disappointing number on the
entire program of this years Chau-
tauqua. The noted bass-baritone sin
ger of the Chicago Grand Opera Com
pany had been advertised so extern
sively as the greatest living bass
baritone" that the audience naturally
expected much of him. While many
in the audience doubtless had not the
musical appreciation that the true
musician has, and therefore were not
capable of just criticism, the noted
singer disappointed even those capa-
Bile of judging the best in music. So
there is really ground for saying that
James Goddard did not come up to
expectations.
James Goddard is a giant in physi-
cal build and size, standing six feet
and a half in his stockings, and re-
minds you of the pictures of Jess Will
lard. When he first appeared on the
platform he fairly shocked the audi
ence with his bulk and height. BY
the side of his pianist, Robert Yale
Smith, the latter appeared as a mere
boy in size.
If the people had not expected so
much of Goddard, it is safe to say
that the audience would have enjoyed
his singing, for he has a voice of
wonderful range and power. Even
the unframed ear could readily de-
tect the fact that in his singing he
shows that he has had many years of
the very finest training that could
be obtained In his technic you could
not find much room for fault-finding,
but in the quality of his tones you
could. The range of his voice is
Wonuer1ul ana II is OF sufficient pow
er to fill the largest auditorium.
However in Miss Ruth Ray, violin
LIST of remarkable ability for one so
young, the big crowd was truly de-
lighted. This wonderful young vio-
linist is destined to reach the topmost |
round in musical fame. Her playing
alone was more than worth the entire
evening. Her numbers were marked
oy a finish and beauty of tones of
-ranscendent quality. Robert Ray
Smith also played exceptionally well.
Both in technic and in quality of
ones produced he deserves to rank
lmong the best Both of these as
istants won loud applause and were
'alled back time and again.
In the singing of "Old Black Joe"
md Drink to Me Only With Thine
eyes" James Goddard was most ap-
In these songs he ap-
'ealed most to the cosmopolitan
audience present.

Light and Power
Rates EqualiZed

Rates for electric and water service
furnished by the Cailfornia-Oreg
Power Company in Oregon are re-
adjusted by an order issued Saturday
by the Oregon public service commits
sion. Towns affected by the order
in the Rogue river division include
Medford, Central Point, Gold Hill,
Grants Pass, Jacksonville, Rogue Riv-
er, Phoenix, Tolo-Gold Ray, Prospect,
Graves Creek, Wolf Creek, Glendale,
Eagle Point and Talent.
1t will be noticed that Ashland is
the only Incorporated city in this di-
vision that was not affected, The
commission asserts that changes are
made to maintain as nearly as posi-
BILE the present total income of the
company.
"The commission is satisfied that
the company has not received an un
reasonably high return upon its prop
erty, but on the other hand has OBJ
tanned less than investors might reas-
onably be entitled to expect from in
vestments involving like risks, and
less than the prevailing rate of inter-
est throughout the territory" said
the order in part.
"In view of these findings no gen.
eral reduction in rates is justified,
nor is 1t believed that total returns
can be satisfactorily increased by ad-
vanced charges. All charges in pres
ent tariffs will, therefore, be designed
to maintain as nearly as practicable
the present total income and to erase
any possible unjust discrimination
between consumers"
