conferences on the war army bill ence

apart on several differences in the bill as
it passed the two houses. Another eff

There was evidence tonight that the
Senate conferees were about ready to- re
port a deadlock and ask for further in
structions. They are insisting on the
Senate provisions to enforce prohibition
at army posts and to permit Col. Roose
Welt to raise a division.

House bill, also are still disputed. but
they probably could be adjusted if the
other two issues were out Of the way.
Senators on the committee feel that un-

pressure the Senate will insist on re-
tanning the Roosevelt amendment and
the House members are Of the decided
opinion that the House will not accept

Farewell Message
Ashland, Ore. Dec. q. 1916.

Ashland, Ore, Dec. o. 1916.
To the Citizens of Ashland:
In passing out of public service I
wish only to make brief statement.
I MA&oes not appear necessary even to
summarize tho work accomplished
much less go into detail. Whatever
has been accomplished and estab-
lished in the way of system or
method or what has been accom-
plished in a material way, bears evil
dence of its fitness or merit, and
leave the matter of Judgment to our
citizens. | feel gratified for the CO.
operation and evidence Of interest
manifested in good government and
pass again into private citizenship
conscious that I did the best ! could
under all the varied conditions and
circumstances during my four years
of service. I go bearing no i'll will
toward any ono and good wishes for
ALL and desire that Ashland as a
city may continue to develop her re-
sources and not neglect to let the
world know about 1t, maintaining
throughout the process her moral
standing as a clean city. 1t will not
come by chance. Ashland for nearly
half a century has been a town by
chance, more or less Make 1t big,
clean city by choice and effort.
Again thank the good people for
their assistance and cooperation.
l wish also to thank those in the
citys employ for their real interest
in their various departments. For
their loyalty they are entitled to great
credit.
Wishing all prosperous year and !
for a greater continued cooperation
in one common aim and purpose,
am, Very respectfully yours,
o. H. JOHNSON.

ing interested. 1t is probable that
other patrols will be organized.
