AEEDFORD MAIL TRrBTOE, raDFOTtD, OttECJON, TUESDAY, 'APITO 25, 1911. PAGE THREE U SHERIDAN'S OLD I IS ONE 0 Old Counter in Ashland Where Fam ous General Sat 40 Years Ago is Now a Thing of the Past Has His Spur Marks There. When tlie old counter wns torn out or the lioxball nlleys In Anhlaml, nays the TlillnKH, n memorlnl, unpretentious ami unnoticed though It wn, of Gen eral Phil Sheridan, the hero of "Sher idan's Hide " passed Into the circle of things that are no more., Tho scnrreil and Imttered counter carried Its half century of services well and there are those of the older inhabitants who de clare that It still bore the marks where Ooncral Sherlcian used to sit on Its elge and crack his booted and spurred heels against Its sides, whllu he told war stories to a privileged circle of his cro nies. It was back In '74 that Sheridan's name first became linked with the his toric old counter, which then did service In tho drug store, one of tho two or tlireo In southern Oregon, conducted by Judgo C. IJ. 'Watson, who dispensed across It the simple remedies of tho early days. In his young manhood and again In later life Sheridan, was a fnmlllar flguro In Ashland and up and down the valley. When visiting this city after tho war, tho old drug store was one of his favor ite haunts and after gathering about him a circle of congenial spirits, he would mount tho counter with tho ex ex clamateon: "Well boys, now I feel llko I was at home." Thereupon he would launch forth Into somo of his war stories, which were a source of unfailing Interest, especially to those who had known him before tho days of 'CI, when Sheridan had started for the cast with tho declaratien: "When you seo mo again, boys I'll bo wearing tho shoulder straps, or you'll know tho reason."

ASHLAND, Ore., April 23. Two rival power companies tho Itoguo Blvcr Klectric Compnny nnd tho Siskiyou Klee trlc Light & Power Company arc about to lock horns In ti struggle for control of this section of Southern Oregon. Tho occasion Is the opening of the Ashland municipal power lights In a couple of weeks. This, It Is now claimed, will In validate a long time contract between the two rival companies, whereby tho ltogue Hlver Company vocated tho local territory In favor of the Siskiyou Com pany. Both aro now bidding for the contract to supply tho city with the necessary power to supplement tho muni cipal plant, and It Is said that a bitter fight Is about to open between tho two corporations. Dr. Bay, of Medford, representing tho Itoguo Blvcr Klectric Company, was In tho city last week, and hold an extended conference with Mayor Noll on tho sub ject of supplementing tho municipal elec tric power plant with power from tho Gold Bay plant. The Siskiyou company lias offered to sell tho city all Its equipment and fran chise In Ashland, If tho city will not operuto Its new municipal power plant except In caso of emergency nnd got all Its power from that company for a long period of years. The city hns neither accepted nor rejected either propositions as yet. LIBRARY TO OPEN FI I MONTHS Plans for Ashland's New Builtlingr Provide for Handsome Quarters.
