NEW SURVEY' FROM KLAMATH
COUNTY LINE.
WILL ELIMINATE ALL GRADES
Cluyton Burton ApMintcd Sujkt
visor Over Work and Will Put
Gang of Men to Work on Road at
Once.
After long years of waiting, con
nection Is at last to be made be
tween . Asmanci ana Kianiatn Kails
over the Dead Indian route. Klam
ath county has taken the important
step and has appointed Clayton Bur
ton as supervisor over the extension
in Klamath county and the actual
construction of a new road from the
Klamath county line to Clover Creek
will be made. Klamath county has
long been clamoring for a good wag
on and auto road from its county
seat to Ashland. Time and again she
has come forward with a proposition
to Jackson county to meet her at the
county line with a first-class auto
road. Jackson county, however,
has failed to do her part, in spite of
repeated petitions to the county
court from this end of the county,
until last fall, when a crew was sent
into the. Dead Indian country and the
road was put in shape from the sum
mit east of Ashland to the county
line. This performance on the part
of Jackson county gave Klamath
county the opportunity to consum
mate her desire and the recent order
of the county court is the result.
The route trom Ashland to Klam
ath Falls by this road is about the
Fame length as that by way 01 the
Green Spring Mountain road, 63
miles. From the summit, 13 miles
east of Ashland, all grades of any
consequence have been eliminated up
to Klamath Falls. The new survey,
work upon which- will be begun as
soon as weather permits, .will head
almost straight for Clover Creek,
from which point the road had pre
viously been put in shape and short
ened materially. All rocks and trees
will be removed so that nothing will
be left to interfere in the least with
auto travel. A distance of 15 miles
will be covered thus under this con
tract. This improvement will give Ash
land a splendid road to Crater Lake
by way of Klamath Falls. From a
scenic standpoint it will be one oi the
best across the mountains. It will be
used extensively for hauling fruit
and produce between this city and
Klamath Falls, as well as a regular
route for auto travel between the two
places. With the road completed, an
increased amount of travel is expect
ed as well as an increased amount of
produce exchange.

A well-dressed man. c:ad in brown

or straw hat, with hair, which was
well kept, as white as the snow on
sun-kissed Wagner Butte was seen
recently to walk along one of the im

into a lawn and with the skill of any
other hen hawk, grab up a half
grown Plymouth Rock chicken, place
it in his right hand coat pocket anu
walk on. The lady who saw him do
it was less than eight feet away in
her vine-covered porch. With that
respect due to gray hairs, she al

WANTS PARCELS POST.
Postmaster (J'iieral HltchcxK-k l$e
lieves in New Scheme.
Washington, D. C. Legislation
providing for a general parcels post
throughout ,Jhe Tnited States and Its
possessions, except the Philippine
Islands, virtually is certain to be en
acted by the present congress, per
haps before the conclusion of this
session, in the opinion of Postmaster
General Hitchcock.
He has urged upon congress the
desirability of domestic parcels post
because he believes it will aid sub
stantially in the solution of the prob
lem of the high cost of living.
In a statement he expressed the
hope that the measure recently in
troduced in the senate might become
law.
In the judgment of the officers of
the postal service, the new bill repre
sents the most scientific plan yet de
vised for a parcels post. It provides
for a parcels service throughout the
country both on rural routes and
city carrier routes. It consolidates
the third and fourth classes of mail
matter and raises the weight limit of
parcels to 1 1 pounds, which is the
limit of the international parcels
)OSt.
The rate to be charged for arti
cles carried in the rural route ser
vice and city carirer service is 5 cents
for the first pound or fraction of a
pound and 1 cent for each additional
pound or fraction of a pound. For
the general parcels post service,
which covers all mail transportation
other than local delivery by rural or
city carriers, graduated rates would
be fixed based on distance.
RUNAWAYJSRETURNED
Boy Picked Ui Here a Week Ago
(ioem South With Officer Was
Guest of Chief Oien.
Eddie Consigliere of Sacramento
was taken back to his home in Sac
ramento yesterday, an officer having
arrived in Ashland from that city and
taken the youth back with him. Ed
die is an Italian boy of about 15
years of age. About a week ago,
Chief Oien overtook him in company
with a hobo painter, while making
his regular rounds along the rail
road right of way. The two spent a
night in the shelter of some railroad
ties near the Billings place and the
following morning Chief Oien, acting
on the inward suggestion that the
boy was a runaway, retraced his steps
to the improvised bunkhouse and
took the young man into camp. A
series of questions soon brought out
the fact that the boy had recently left
the home of his uncle at Sacramento,
proceeding thus far north in com
pany with hobos. It was also learned
that he had previously spent eight
years in an orphans' home in St. Vin
cent, Cal., from which place he was
taken into his uncle's home.
For the past week the boy has
been entertained in the home of
Chief Oien, where he has shown his
disposition to be helpful about the
house, so much so, in fact, that Mrs.
Oien states she is sorry to see him
go. He has shown himself to be a
model boy, quiet, faithful and will
ing to work. The officer arrived
Tuesday in response to a wire from
the police here and proceeded south
with his ward yesterday.
NO ROAD FUND.
KiMt-ial Ievy Placed With the County
General Fund.
More than one-half of the money
derived from the four-mill tax levy
for road and bridge purposes by the
county of Jackson has been collected
and turned over to the county treas
urer. Instead of being placed in a
road and bridge fund as specified by
the state law, it has been placed In
the general county fund and has been
paid out for the redemption of coun
ty warrants. To be exact, $4S,075.
S4 out of approximately $76,000
which should be placed in a bridge
and road fund has been collected and
nearly all of it expended.
More than this, the county has
never kept a road fund. Present
county officials state that they never
I saw a "road" warrant, the so-called
"road" warrants being paid out of
the county general fund. The only
record on the county books, searched
back as far as 1901, show the only
"road" fund was kept in 1903 when
between $2,000 and $3,000 was re
j reived from, the sale of state lands,
the law stating that this money must
be expended for road purposes only.
AUTO CAUSES RUNAWAY.
Team Becomes Frightened and Hurls
Driver to Ground.
An accident that might have been
fatal occurred last Tuesday evening,
when -Billy Briggs and a - load of
young people came up behind a team
of colts In the vicinity of Jackson
Springs. The driver, whose name has
not been learned, is deaf and did not
hear the approaching atito until It
was upon him. The team gave a
sudden jump, pulling the reins out. of
his hands and running away. The
driver was hurled out, striking his
head upon a post and sustaining
some cuts and .bruises about the face.
He was taken into the Arnold house
at the Eagle mills, where an exam
ination revealed no serious injury,
and was then placed in the auto and
hurried into town . He was able to
be out yesterday and is apparently
Buffering no serious results from the
accident. His home is in Eagle
Point.
INJUNCTION FILED AGAINST THE CITY
PROPERTY OWNERS START SUIT IN EQUITY FOR SPECIFIC PERFORM
ANCE OF CONTRACT COVERING OF PIPE LINE DEMANDED
As a sequel to the event of last
Friday, when the chief of police in
terfered with the filling in of An
derson ditch by three property own
ers along the ditch, the parties In
question have secured from County
Judge Neil a temporary restraining
order, restraining the city of Ashland
from using the ditch for any other
purpose than that for which the ease
ment was granted. Attorneys are
now at work on the proposition and
further developments are expected
within a few days. In the meantime,
outside orchardists will be deprived
of the use of water for irrigation,
pending a settlement of the question.
As intimated in Monday's issue of
the Tidings, the matter of title to
Anderson ditch is involved, although
the plaintiffs, in their complaint, do
not allege anything as to the title.
They take the position, however, that
an easement was given for a pipe
line across their property, that the
pipe line was constructed, and that
the only use to which the right-of-way
may be used is for a covered
pipe line. When asked as to the po
sition of the plaintiffs in the matter.
Mr. Davis, their attorney, stated
"The easement is the city's, but they
can't do with it as they please."
An interesting feature of the case
is the fact that the deeds conveyed I flow in the ditch. "Wherefore, plain
by the property holders are for a ! tiffs pray judgment that said defend-
"right of way, easement and privi
lege to it, its officers, agents and
employes, for the construction of a
pipe line in, on or near the present
ditch line of the Anderson ditch.
Providing, however, and this grant
is upon the express understanding
and agreement between the grantors
and the grantee, that any such pipe
line, as aforesaid, shall be laid at
such a depth in the ground as to in
no way interfere with the free use
of said premises by the grantors,
etc." At the same time, a verbal
agreement was entered into to the
effect that the city would cover the
pipe, members of tne council having
in mind the crossing of plaintiffs'
property outside of the ditch. The

date oi manutacture, 190.9, was evi-
dently too old to exploae from the
grinding of the wheels. No cap or
fuse was found with It, and it seems
likely that the persons who placed it
on the track expected it to be fired
when the train ran over It.
Powder men say that good fresh
powder will readily explode under
such conditions If the weather be
warm or if the powder be heated.
Powder as old as that used at Merlin,
however, is never sold, and miners
and others who use tons of It in this
district every year will buy only
freshly made stock. The powder
placed upon the track was evidently
from some old mining prospect
where it had been stored, possibly in
a damp place, till its strength had
been largely lost, to which fact, can
be credited the saving of No. 16 and
! its dozen or more coach-loads of pas
I sengers.
The amount of powder used would
have been sufficient, say those versed
In the action of dynamite, to have
hurled the engine from the track and
thus have ditched the entire train.
There is no suspicion pointing in
any direction, and no clue was left
to aid in the apprehension of the
party who endangered scores of lives
by a deed that merits capital punish
ment if any deed does.
Fourth of July Celebration.
Do you know that Ashland is go
ing to pull off on July 4 the largest
and most exciting celebration In its
history? And in-order to enjoy it
to its limit you should leave your
measure now for that new suit so it
wll be here by that time. L. J. Orres,
203 East Main street, Ashland's lead
ing custom tailor, can show you thou
sands of fine woolens at $1 and up,
fully guaranteed. He also dry cleans
men's and ladles' garments at very
reasonable prices. Phone 141, and
he will call for and deliver your gar
ments. Mimic warfare and carnivnl ball
will be features of the celebration in
Ashland.
The barbecue will be the biggest
event of the season.
Ashland is the place to spend the
Fourth of July.
question arising involves the accept
ance by the city of a deed to property
which the city already owns.
The suit is designated as a "suit
in equity for the specific performance
of a contract and does not touch up
on title to the ditch. The complaint
cites: First, that on or about April
1, deeds were asked and given, upon
the si length of a verbal agreement
to cover the. pipes, for right of way
for a pipe line across plaintlfs' prop
erty; second, that the city laid the
pipes, iind that on May 7 demand was
made ;y plaintiffs that the ditch be
filled, which was refused; third, that
plaintiffs own land on either side of
the ditch and the pipes will interfere
with cultivation and the free passage
across the ditch unless they are cov-
ered; fourth, that it is the intention a,1(l 110 l''" tell where it will
of the city to use the ditch as aneuti-"
open uncn to convey running water
for irrigation and, unless prevented
from so doing, will inconvenience
and injure the plaintiffs if the ditch
is tiscii for any other purpose than
that contemplated in the right of
way deeds, viz., a covere.I pipe line;
fifth, that the plaintiffs are con
structing a roadway along the ease
ment and unless the agreement of the
defendant is compiled with, the cost
of construction of the road will be
i200 more, water lmini nllmvori tn
judgment that said defend
ant lie required to specifically per
form said agreement and fill up said
ditch and cover said pipe laid by said
defendant across said lands and ease
ments." What stand the city's attorneys
will take in the matter it is impossi
ble to state at this time. The effect
of the order is to step the city from
using Anderson ditch as an open
ditch to convey water for irrigation
purposes. The Intent of the plain
tiffs is to restrict the city from using
the ditch, designated as the right of
way for a pipe line, for any purpose
except as a covered pipe line. Chas.
Pope and wife, Isaac Bailey and wife,
G. W. Pellet and wife are named as
plaintiffs in the case.

Witness.
Los Angeles, Cal. The defense in
the trial of Clarence S. Harrow, for
alleged jury bribery, sprang a sur
prise when court convened Tuesday
by declining to cross-examine Patrick
J. Cooney, the McNamara defense
"investigator." Cooney's place on
the witness stand was taken by
Keene Fltzpntrlck, another former
employe of the M,cNaniara defense.
Diekelman was the most Impor
tant witness yet placed on the stand
by the prosecution for the purpose of
showing that members of the McNa

witnesses as well as Jurors. He was
the man who first Identified J. B.

Diekelman testified at length con
cerning efforts made by agents of the
McNamara defense to persuade him
to desert the prosecution and of
numerous offers or financial better

up to 324, not counting other con
tests among the 130 cases to bo
passed on by the committee, delegates
instructed for Taft.
The precise number is the subject
of much dispute, however, aud it
cannot be stated how many of these
contests Taft will win.
"'he cases decided Monday were
those of the Indiana delegation at

withdrawn and the committee con
firmed the Hitting of two Taft dele

velt, the first awarded him since the
national committee began the con
test cases last Friday, and 17 for
President Taft, were the net results
of Tuesday's session of the commit
tee. The one placed in the Roose
velt column was D. C. Edwards, Troni
the eleventh district of Kentucky.
The Taft forces on the committee
refused by a vote of 33 to 19 to seat
both the Roosevelt delegates whose
places were contested, but agreed to
a split, which gave Colonel Roose
velt and President Taft each one del
egate from the district.
President Taft won six Arizona
d logates-at-large and his delegates
from the fourth California district
were sealed at the session yesterday.
The debate over the California.
case, including the conflict between
the primary law and the official call
of the commiiteo, was bitter and at
times sensational. The governor of
California refused to dignify the
proceedings by appearing before the
committee. He said he would not
try the title to property before the
"thier who stole." Francis J. Heney,
defending the Roosevelt claimants,
"warned" the president against "re
ceiving stolen goods."
Six dclegates-nt-large and eight
delegates from four districts in Lou
isiana were also added to the Taft
column yesterday. The committee
today has under consideration con
