BANS
SALE AND USE
Of FIREWORKS

Many business men of Ashland
have been asking in regard to the
enforcement OF the fireworks ordi-
nance and the state law regarding
same during the coming celebration.
An interview with Mayor Lamkin
this morning brought out the fact
that the prohibition against fire
works will be strictly enforced, and
merchants are warned against pur-
chasing same.
The state law makes it unlawful
for any firecracker over two and
one-half inches in length and five
eighths inch in diameter to be sold
or exploded, consequently any fire
cracker violating this provision can
not be used or sold anywhere within
the state.
The city ordinance provides that
II shall be unlawful to discharge,
fire or use any firecrackers, rockets,
torpedo, Roman candle, or other
fireworks or substance designated
and intended for pyrotechnic display
or any ordnance, gun, pistol, rifle,
cane, cannon or other appliance us
ing blank cartridges, ball cartridges
or caps, or other form of explosive.
The ordinance further provides
that 1t shall be unlawful to sell any
fireworks at retail, or to store or
sell any fireworks at wholesale, ex-
cept by permit by the mayor, issued
for a period OF one year. Applica-
ton for permit must be filed with
the chief Of the fire department at
least 30 days previous to the using
thereof.
1t will be noticed that merchants
cannot sell at retail at all within the
city of Ashland, and hence they
should not lay in stock OF fire.
works, says Mayor Lamkin.
The above mentioned ordinance is
different than the provisions of the
old ordinance in force last Fourth
of July. The change was made July
70, 1921, by unanimous vote of the
council, and strengthened tie old
ordinance to the extent that the sale
of fireworks was prohibited as we'll
as the discharging of same.

CHIP into THE
4TH JULY FUND.
S OR DIMES OR S.
START THE BALL A. ROLLING
WITH YOUR DOLLARS OR
DIMES
The Lord Loves II Cheerful Giver,
But Nobody Loves "a Tightwad--
So Lessen Your Load, Ease Your
Conscience and Come Through.

Ashland is booked for big
Fourth of July celebration and pre-
parations are under way to make 1t
the biggest event of the kind ever
put on here. 1t is proposed to stage
such an attractive program that the
attendance from the surrounding
towns will be greater than ever be-
fore.
To accomplish this, it is neces-
sary that couple Of thousand dol
lars be raised. 1t is hardly fair that
the merchants should be asked to
bear the brunt of the financial bur-
den, when there are hundreds of
others who not only ought to con-
tribute to the fund, but would be
glad to do so, If given the opportun-
ity. Heretofore the general public
has been overlooked in the matter
of contributions. The business men
have always had to finance these af-
fairs, while only very few of them
derive any financial benefit, as
pretty much all places of business
are closed on that day, with the ex'
ception of the hotels, restaurants
and confectioners. In order to meet
the situation and that the contrbu-
tions may be more evenly divided
than heretofore, the Fourth of July
committee has decided to open a
Contribution Column" in the It'd
ings. in which a daily report will be
made of the total amount received
and the names of the contributors,
although it is not deemed advisable
to publish the amount sent in, The
child's nickel, given with spirit OF
patriotism, will be as welcome as
the dollar of the dad. No amount
will be too small but ii is hardly
necessary to state, ahe committee
will not look askance at any contrib
ution, no matter how large. So send
along your dollars and your dimes
and help the good cause along.
Loosen up. Liven up, and make
the old town hum"

tiers in this valley, was visited by a
number of interested citizens yes

and to include the graves of these
first Oregon soldiers in our Memoir
ial day services. The cemetery was
found 10 be in, badly neglected
condition, fences down, weeds over
all, many graves being almost oblit-
Grated. A committee was appointed
to see what could be done to pre-
serve this old landmark of Oregon
pioneer days, and their work was
realized yesterday in the complete
change in the appearance Of the
place. Their work consisted in buy
ing a small strip of land to include
several graves that were outside the
original plot, to secure a deed to the
whole, making it the care Of School
District No. Z forever. Mr.. Booth,
of the state highway commission,
was interviewed, and an agreement
secured whereby the highway COM
would build the approach to
the cemetery from the road, in eX-

the road crosses the corner of the
lot. The building of a substantial
fence around the whole lot. with an
iron gate set in two attractive gran
ite pillars beaAing the ,.names of
Dunn and Barron, pioneer families
who contributed generously to the
work. In addition, weeds and brush
have been cleared out, and the plot
made presentable.
A rising vote Of thanks was ten
dered the committee, especially to-
Mr.. Perozzi for the time and effort
expended in the work, which makes
a vital contribution to the early his
tory of southern Oregon. A history
rich in tales of bravery, of hard
ship, of the faith and courage Of
those who laid the foundation Of
our great commonwealth.
