ASHLAND CITY DADS DISCUSS CITY PAVING Medford Is Cited as Being Worthy of Emulation Matter Goes Over, but Thought Paving Will Win Out. MATTER DISCUSSED AT MEETING OF COUNCIL Councilmen Visited Medford and Looked Over Paving Matters in This City. ASHLAND, Or., April 21. (Spe cial.) Tho city council met last night to listen to protests against tho pro posed paving of Main street. A large crowd was present to hear the ur- nmcnts. II. (i. Endcrs, a heavy tax payer on business property was the pokesman for those who tiro op posed to paying for tho Kub-grndo. The expressed the opinion that all was in favor of paving, but n num ber of property owners were inclined to dictate the plan of assessment. In pitc of the veiled threats to hold the paving up by injunction, it is not thought that any man or set, of men will block the much needed improve ment over the matter of the sub- grnde. Mayor Snell pointed to Medford us an example of progressivcncsH that Ashland could well afford to imi tate. Indeed, ho made it good and strong that unless our proerty owners were willing to pave and otherwise improve our city, we might as well admit our inferiority as city-building people and damp hchhu', Medford, hugeno, lioscburg and other progres sive Oregon towns, there to remain as tail-enders indefinitely. All discussion was friendly and no feeling was developed at the meet ing. Mcumvhilc, the people nt large ire hoping that the work of paving will now proceed without hindrance. The council is acting in a fair and impartiul manner, and conscientious ly endeavoring to give Ashland a businesslike administration and the people arc behind them in overwhelm ing numbers, realizing Dial lhc future of the city depends upon prompt and decisive action in improvement innl- tci-s. Kinnl action was deferred until next Tuesday evening, when the or dinance ordering the paving will conic up lor passage. ORCHARDS IN BUTTE COUNTY WILL HAVE MANY PEACHES UKIDI.KY, April 21. V. A.

The easterners do not compete with California packers in the high-grade goods, but on the low-grade goods only.
