FACTORY
LOCATES IN
ASHLAND

Arrangements have been made
with the Ashland Iron Works for
the manufacture OF Mora Pumps for
the Mora Pump company, formerly
of Minneapolis and now making their
headquarters in Ashland. The
manufacture of the pumps for irri-
cation purposes promises to be an
industry Of importance according to
the opinions OF local business men
who witnessed the operations of a
pump In use at the Ashland Iron
works Saturday afternoon.
A variable output of water at a
low speed of operation is the prin-
cipal advantage claimed for the
pump by its makers. The pump
operates ordinarily at $50 revolu-
tions per minute and can deliver
from ten to 1000 gallons of water
per minute, according to w. T.
Wheat, factory demonstrator.
The industry was brought to Ash
land through the mediation OF Mr..
Wheat between James Caven OF
Grants Pass. president OF the Mora
Pump company, and the Ashland
Iron Works here. Manufacture o,
the pump in Minneapolis was made
difficult by reason OF unsettled ir.
dustrlal conditions In that city.
Officials OF he con pany nave al.
ready made arrangements to make
their home in this city. T. n. Kel.
ley, treasurer OF the company, will
arrive in few days from Minnea.
polls with his wife and family. Har.
old Patten, vice president, will also
locate here.

authority to enter buildings for the

he could eliminate the careless fire
hazards that are common to. all
communities.
I'VE recommend that the ordi.
nance creating the Fire Department
be lived up to by employing the ad.
ditional men necessary to bring the
force up to six. Those who drafted
this ordinance were far sighted
enough to anticipate the needs of
the city, as that many men would
be sufficient to give the city ade-
quate protection.
I'VE recommend the purchase Of
the following minor equipment for
the use of the fire department, viz:
One Blanchard adjustable
nozzle; one Baker cellar pipe;
one circulator; 800 feet OF
standard 2h Inch hose; one
Grether quick coupler for 2le-
