all natural color has disappeared. No
other experiment will so well convince

Three feet of Snow at
Ashland
Ashland, Feb. 26 —Almost three feet
of snow has fallen in Ashland since last
Monday, an unprecedented snowfall for
this season here. According to Co-op
erative Obrevec Liuis D>Jge, 33 J^ in
ches haJ fallen up to this m >rning, and
it has been snowing intermittenly all
day. This much snow is equal to three
and a half inches of rain and is of great
benefit.
Owing to the fact that the thermom
eter has drooped to freezing only for
two short periods in the week, the snow
has melted fast and only about a foot
I li ;s on the ground. The steady melt
ing allows the earth to get the full ben
efit of the moisture and the snow is
worth probably twice the amount of
riio.
The power lines have given some lit
tle trouble, but Ashland has not been
t 'tally without lights owing to the fact
that the citv is supplied by the muni
cipal plant as well as the Fall creek
and Prospect plants of the Oregon-
j California company. —Tidings
