ASHLAND, April 26.--John R. JJImi, projector of the Roguo River IntciKTban railroad from Ashland to Grants Pass, has returned from New York and visited Ashland Monday to talk over with city officials and oth ers tbe matter of the franchise for the proposed road to cuter Ashland. The recent city election was to adopt a charter amendment to enable the Kraatisg of a franchise for a period ef 5 years, -which Mr. Allen de v &nd&. The d resent plans are to call h-Jter Another election at an early date to SttbtHH to me pcopie iuu uiuiuuutt rmbndjinf; tho franchise Mr. Alleu Asks. Mr. Allen says that capital is awaitiBK his call to start the ball cxellMR for the construction of the jm posed interurban road through -the valley and that it is up to Ash 3mkI sew to give him the franchise he sk& He says he is asking no more in the "way of privileges here than he 3ub been given at Medford and Grants Pass. The objection that has heretofore "feen made to-the granting of tho jtroposed franchise in Ashland has jBcane from thfcouncil and citizens who think theterms of it are too broad and one-sided. Everybody in Ask and, they say, is willing and wudous to give every reasonable in ducement to an interurban line to en ter this city, and for the construction . electric car lines "within the city, "kit objection has been heard to the taming over of all rights to anybody without some restrictions and limits. Jir. Allen says the franchise, broad 36 he seeks it, is necessary to give i&e required assurance to capitalists. 3t will probably be put up to the peo ple themselves to pass upon shortly.

Taylor, secretary of the Woodville Commercial club, waxes most enthusiastic whenever Wood ville is mentioned and never tires of singing the little city's praises. "When Woodville wants anything they want to want and want it bad enough, they usually get their wants supplied,'' says Mr. Taylor. "They wanted n steel bridge and a high school, which they have. They want nn incorporated town, which they will have in a day or two. They want a telephone line all over tho Evans valley and Woodville, and the wire is on the ground, and now tluV have just woke up to the idea of an electric plant of their, own, which is going just one better thau any of their neighbors. They hnvo an ideal waterpower almost at their door and are now organizing for the purpose of construction of the plant immedi ately, which can be done at a mere nominal cost and which will bo am ple for all power and lighting pur poses for a long time to come. The song of the hammer and saw is heard all over and the odor of new lumber and turpentine pervades the air as the paint man tacks his little shingle up, 'Taint," nt every corner. A new city park with cement walks is on the map and the next in order is a new passenger depot. "The real estate deals have been so many and so diveres the past week tlmt I have not been able to secure a list. The hotels are filled to the limit all the time and proprietors arc looking sideways and wondering how they can take care of any more. But our own electric light plant is the biggest thing in sight for Woodville." WICKERSHAM MAY BE WITNESS IH CONTROVERSY GRANTS PASS, April 26.
