MUCH 0URINraR1912 Mayor's Report, Filed Recently With , City Council of Ashland, Shows, Gain Made In Past Year in Municl pal Improvements. ASHLAND, Jan. 13. A perusal of tho mnyor'R luport for tho year 1911 ( rcvonla n list of Improvements thnt nmUo Ashland Btnml out prominent mnong tho cities of tho const for pro Bresslveness. In this connection we quoto rrom that report as follews: "It Is doubtful If thoro Is a city tho sizo of Ashland on tho Pacific const thnt can innko such n shewing In tho way of municipal , Improve ments as can Ashland for tho year 1911. "Wo now have the best paved, the host watered, tho best lighted and tho best behaved city on tho Pacific const. Our public schools are un ex- colled, our churches nre prosperous nnil hnppy In tho good work they are doing, and, all In all, our peoplo as a whole aro contented and happy." From early spring to lato fall the work of construction In one depart ment or another has gone on and with tho close of tho year we take Inventory and find an Improved wa ter system, an electric light plant completed, ono of the most complete ly sowered cities on the coast, In creased facilities for fire protection. miles of paving, and an armory pro vided for, bringing the grand total of expenditures for municipal Improve ments up to tho sum of f-iCC.639.se. These f Igurea prove tho statement of tho mayor that no previous like ar witnessed a like expenditure for Im provements. Tho sewer system has been ex tended 2 43 hi lies in all, Including trunk lines on Granite street, Noxth Main street and Mountain avenue. Two septic tanks have been ordered, ono completed and the other In tho process of construction, in addition to extensions of other lines in vari ous parts of tho city. The water system has been Im proved by the substitution of new pipo for the old in many parts of the city. The lower intake up tho can yon has been partially reconstructed at an expense of about JS500, a ca pacious cement reservoir taking the placo of the old wooden one. This should mean great benefit to the higher altitudes of tho city In the matter of Irrigation, as well as be ing an aid to tho entire system. Tho electric light plant has been completed. The street lighting sys tem, consisting of splendid equip ment of three light electroliers, adorns the main streets of the city. The side streets are provided with incandescent lights of high power. The system, after being in operation for ouly a few months, is nearly pay ing expenses. Receipts from this source aggregate in the nelghbo' hood of $1400 per month. About four miles of cement walks have been added to tho area covered In provloua years. This Jiqb entailed an expenditure of about $9500 and coverB tho mnln thoroughfares of the city. Tho paving area has been extended so that at tho present tlmo Ashland has approximately 7.1 miles of hard surface pavement. During tho yoar Just passed ull but-about 1.8 miles of this has been laid, of which approxi mately 3 0 miles was ordered during 1911, 1.S4 miles being a part of tho old contract. Thoso figures wero se cured from tho engineer, they hav ing boon withheld from his former report to tho council. Tho stretch of pavement extending from tho hospi tal to tho north city limits gives a buulovard scarcely equalled In any other city of tho sizo on tho coast. An appropriation of $7500 has been mado for an armory, tho state and county to furnish tho balance of tho $30,000 for Its construction. Ad ditional apparatus for firo fighting hus been purchased, which, with tho splendid wator pressuro available, gives Ashland a splendid system of flro protection. 1 HnH HUMh brio CARRIED AWAY BHOeOE Section by Section Spidcrlikc Trestle Built by Railroad Over Rogue Riv er Goes Down Stream Water Rises Little Over Two Feet.

I made up mx mind tlmt Los Angeles i a good plnre lo go xvlieii a person becomes phx mi -ally xveak by either old age or dis ease, because the climate xvill not of fer any resistance to life. I think it is a mistake to say that southern California is n good place for people xvitli wenk lungs; I believe it to be the reverse. 1 notice that a major ity of the deaths recorded in the newspapers nre the result of iieu monin. Xow, this may be for the reason that the country contains so many people xbo are already xveak in that particular. The inhabitants of southern California consist of two classes, those xvho pray for a daily stranger to come into their midst xvitli money so thnt they may sboxv him around, and the other class consists of people xvitli one lung, people xvitli money and n dusire to escape xvork, retired army officers, bookxvonns with enough to live on, religious cranks nnd philosophers, gamblers and s'endthrift.s. I attended one of txvo public gath erings x bile in the city that had been called for the purpose of making ar rangements to entertain different kinds of conventions that are to meet during the present year. As for in stance, the Shriner.s from all over North America are to gather there in May. not less thnn 10,000 in num ber. The national encampment of the G. A. R. xvill be bold at Los An gelen later in the season. It is esti mated that 50,000 members of that body xvill be present on that occasion. The chamber of commerce bus a com mittee xvitli no otbor duly to per form thnn to induce nnd arrange those conventions. At one of these meet ings I heard the mayor of the city, the ehninnnn of the committee on ontcrtnining nnd other leading citi zens of Los Angeles speak. They did not forget to mention the glorious climate of southern California, nnd the many attractions to bo scon in nnd nbotit Los Angeles. Ono of the speakers said: ".Mr. Chainnun: While the thermometer is ranging 40 degrees below zero in the east and u blizzard is raging over Oregon, here xve have sunny skiej in tho xvinlcr time." He nlso said, "I live in Fres no, but it takes 10 years off my life every time I come to Los Angeles." I xvas invited to make n fcxv remarks and I could not resist making reply to the Fresno gentleman by saying: "My friend is not xvoll advised as to Oregon. The only snow that I have seen this xx inter xvns in Siscdyoti and Shasta counties in California. There is no snow in the Rogue River vnlley. We have plenty of xxhat your farm ers here nre so anxious to secure, u reasonuble amount of rainfall. Wc have sunny skies in tho xvinter timo, our scenery is bolder nnd more sub lime than any that can be found in Los Angeles, but money has not done so much for the country as it has here, Nut lire has done more. I would not care to como to Los An geles very often, if it had the effect of taking 10 years from u man's life At Fountains & Elsewhere Ask for "HORLICK'S" The Original and Genuine MALTED MILK The Food-drink for All Agesi At restaurants, hotels, and fountain!.

PROCURE PALMER'S PRICES on tho Seybold Player Piano, which is sold to you direct from maker to user from factory to home", to purchasers in Medford and the Koguo U'iver vallev. You will find that ' PALMER'S PLAN PROTECTS you, as this advanced system of piano retailing puts the business on a simpler, safer and surer basis, and does away with tho questionable methods so often practised by sharpei-s. with cheaply made pianos to sell at big prices. The Seybold pianos have always been marketed in a dignified manner (strictly on their merits), which is becoming for a piano of such rare good quality. PRUDENT PEOPLE PREFER to deal with a man who litis never found it necessary to resort to the giving away of premiums, such as piano purchasing checks, coupons, etc., which is a system many dealers nre now employing because their line of pianos does not have the necessary good quality to permit of their being sold on their indi viduality.
