SPEED COPS MAKE
MANY ARRESTS OF
ASHLAND DRIVERS

Pedestrians are daily and nightly
risking their lives on the state high
way and county roads, asserts J. ].
Mcmahon, state traffic inspector and
former Jackson county deputy sher-
iff, who has been operating In Ash.
land during the past two days.
THE natural habit of keeping to
the right" says Mcmahon, when
walking on the road is all wrong.
Pedestrians should face the traffic
by walking ON the left side OF any
vehicle-traveled thoroughfare and
avoid being struck by Oncoming
autos from the rear. Hikers can see
approaching vehicles, but are run
ming great risk when they trust to
the vision of auto drivers approach
ing them from behind. This Is es-
pecially true at night when the
lights of car light up the high
way for only short distance where
the road has many turns"
Inspector Mcmahon states that
proper attention is not given by Ash
land auto drivers to the speed limit
laws. Drivers. he said, are lax in
observing the twelve-mile limit past
schools, law which, he says, calls
for strict enforcement The state
law fixes the speed limit in all Ore
gon cities at twelve miles an hour
and thirty-mile limit on the state
highway.
Lights must be dlmmed at night"
states Mcmahon, when passing
other machines at night. The state
laws do not recognize patented dim
mers OF any sort"
Tie following offenders were ar
rested by Mcmahon for violation of
the state traffic laws:
Harold Porter, non-operator's
license, flied $3.50; George Xllngle,
of Medford, arrested .5r speeding,
fined $3.50; June Leavell, OF Med
ford, exceeding speed limit passing
school, fined $780, A. c. white,
using license taken from motor
truck, fined $50; +. o. Hazer, with
out operators license. fined $3.50;
NJ II. Palmer, operating a truck for
the Ashland Lumebr company, fined
SIS; G. Z. Gunter, no tail light,
fined $40; Paul Held, no tail light,
fined $40; l.. b. MeWilllams, using

Winter Fair To
Help Industries

Last winter, through the efforts
of the chamber OF commerce, the
Ashland Winter fair was guaranteed
and successfully conducted. The
purpose OF this exhibition is three
fold: !. To stimulate and encourage
such industries, agricultural and
horticultural, as are parr:cuiarl,
adapted TO southern Oregon; 2. tc
create an opportunity for our mer-
chants and manufacturing indus
tries TO exhibit and present theil
special features; 3. to advertise
southern Oregons winter attrae.
tions.
This year the IDEA has gradually
developed OF adding to the fair Q
livestock department. This is really
a big undertaking and only the fact
of Ashland having building which
could be utilized for this purpose
makes it possible to institute such a
plan. Some objection mas developed
to using the Chautauqua building
for this purpose, but the guaranty
on the part OF the fair committee to
leave the building in an absolutely
clean and sanitary condition should
overcome any objection.
The fact that some OF those who
are advocating this proposition are
the staunchest supporters OF chau.
tauqua, but believe the great build.
ing should be used whenever posi-.
BILE for the benefit OF the public, are
willing to guarantee as to the care oil
the building. should allay all fear as
to any damage to the building.
Why not every one unite to make
the Ashland Winter fair a great in
stitution to bring all our neighbor
ing cities Of southern Oregon and
northern California to Ashland and
to advertise to the outside |orlt
that Ashland is the gateway to on,
of the most wonderful sections 81
our country--southern Oregon?
