JACKSONVILLE. JACKSON COUNTY. OREGON, JUNE 18, 1910
NO. 7
................
FRANCHISE
TURNED DOWN
By a small majority in Ash­
land-Light vote, only 428
votes cast.
By a vote of 228 to 200 Ashland
turned down the application of John
R. Allen fora trolley line franchise in
that city, Saturday. Only a light vote
was polled, about one-half the usual
vote of the city.
The result of the election was a
surprise to many persons in the valley,
who thought the citizens of Ashland
more progressive and enterprising, but
it seems the mossbacks and knockers
were slightly in the majority.
It is to be hoped that Mr. Allen and
his associates may see their way clear
to build the trolley line without the
franchise in Ashland, and not allow
the shortsightedness and grasping
proclivities of the men who defeated
its passage, to ruin or retard the pros­
perity of the whole valley.
At the same election, a franchise
was granted to J. R. Anderson for a
franchise for a gas plant which will
doubtless be operated in competition
with the municipal lighting plant.
Verily some people see through a
glass darkly.

HILL GETS CONTROL OF
PACIFIC & EASTERN.
h
SI
Hill interests have completed acquisi­
tion of the Pacific I Eastern Railway
by purchasing the remaining 40 per
cent of stock, which was held by J. R.
Allen, former president of [the com­
pany. With this purchase, a new offi­
cial personnel has been named, wPh
John F. Stevens president, William
Gerig vice president and manager, and
J. W. Lawler secretary. The directors
of the company are: J. F. Stevens, J.
R. Allen, C. E. S. Wood, S. B. Linthi­
cum and William Gerig. The Hill
peoole are said to have held 60 per
, cent of the P. & E. stock prior co this
latest purchae, and now have absolute
control, for the working out of what­
ever plans they may have in respect to
the future of the P. & E. Completing
the present [work of about 22 miles,
and extending surveys toward the East,
are the only plans divulged by the new
control. But the people of that region
believe that the Cascades are to be
crossed at this point, and are expectant
of an announcement to this effect in
the near future. It is apparent that
all of the Willamette Valley and North­
western Oregon are to be reached by
Hill lines, through such systems of the
Oregon Electric and United Railways.

DIES NEAR
HIS CABIN
J. H. Hart, aged resident
of Trail creek found dead
Coroner investigates.
J. H. Hart, who is well known
throughout Jackson county, was found
dead at his home on Trail creek 20
miles above Eagle Point Friday after­
noon. Owing to certain circumstances
surrounding the location of the body
when found, the coroner was summoned
and went up Saturday to conduct an
inquest.
The body was found by neighbors at
a considerable distance from the house
in which he lived. It was lying by the
side of the creek and on one side of
the head was a deep bruise which may-
have been the cause of death. How­
ever, the theory advanced was that the.
the aged man had died suddenly of
heart failure.
Mr. Hart is the father-in-law of Dee
Bradshaw and is one of the old time
residents of Jackson county.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One---
How it is Done in Jacksonville
The back aches at times with a dull,
indescribable feeling,
making you
weary and rest’ess; piercing pains
shoot across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No uso to rub or ap­
ply a plaster to the back in this condi­
tion. You cannot reach the cause.
Exchange the bad back for a new and
stronger one.
A. Betz, living Cor. D and 6th St.,
Medford, Ore., says: “I suffered more
or less from kidney trouble for four or
five years. The disease did not bother
me severely at first and I was under
the impression that it would soon pass
away. I steadily grew worse however,
and soon began to suffer fr< m such
severe pains through my loins tijat I
was unable to stoop. When; feeling
generally miserable a friend recom­
mended Doan'B Kidney Pills, I pro ured
a box and began their use. They gave
me prompt relief, and a continued
use removed every symptom of the
complaint. It gives mo pleasure to
recommend Doan's Kidney l'iils to
other sufferers, as they proved very
satisfactory in my case.”
