Reeder of this city have recently been agree ably surprised by a visit from their brother Isaac of Atlanta, Ga., whom they had not seen for 27 years; In fact, the lapse of time had well-nigh obliterated he means of recognition between the brothers and sister. The visitor has been a resident of the south for" a quarter of a century, seven years of which period have been passed in Atlanta. Mr. Isaac Poley is on an extended trip through out the Pacific northwest, and dur ing his vacation season will also visit his brother Charles at Portland and other relatives in various sections of Oregon and Washington. Some time ago the state game war den notified Mayor Neil that it would be necessary to build fish ladders on the city dams at the water intakes. That would have cost the city a thousand dollars or more, and as Ashland creek at that point does not maintain migratory fish the demand was thought unjust by those most fa miliar with the situation. Mr. Harry Hosier has taken much interest in fish and game matters in the pats and stands well with the department. Hs was asked to take the matter up and see what could be done. He en tered into correspondence with the officials and now has a letter in which It is agreed that no further action will be taken in the matter un til the commission is more thorough ly advised. The result will likely be that Ashland will be saved the need less expense of building the fish ways.

BILLINGS AGENCY 41 E. Main St. Phone 211-J. 9KX)D INSURANCE. MAYOR'S KKCALL KKSTS. After' Securing Nearly lOO Signers ' , Petitions Are Called In. Grants Pass. After securing near ly 100 signers to the recall petitions which were circulated recently for the purpose of recalling Mayor Smith the petitions have been called in and the committee report that they will await a decision of the attorney gen eral on a technicality as to the num ber of signers required. The peti tioners received much encourage ment before tbe petitions were out, but when it came to the matter of signing it proved to be a different thing and many of those foremost in demanding a recall refused to put their names to the petition. On ac count of the fact that the work on the city hall is now progressing some of the citizens of the Fourth ward are in a more passive mood and it Is thought that unless some unforeseen trouble arises the recall of Mayor Smith is a thing of tne past.'
