The matter of raising the building was taken up with the gentlemen and it was de cided that it was practical to raise the level of the entire building about 18 inches. The question of, steps out to the street precluded any greater elevation. They also expressed themselves as well pleased with the location, regarding it as ideal.

If not, the entire work will have to be post poned until spring. Apple Day November 18. Portland, Ore., Oct. 16.

Property Owners Offer to Do Work if City Will Furnish Proper Grades and Property Lines. Councilman Butler announced to the city 'council Tuesday night that the property owners on lower Oak street were anxious , to Jiave the street graded and were willing to do the work themselves if the city would furnish the necessary grades and lines.

The council instruct ed the street committee to give the necessayr orders to the city engineer, so it .is probable that the street will be improved this fall. Mr. Butler stated that they did not wiBh to be gin the work until the first rains had soaked up the ground somewhat. The Genuine Ma licit. When you Bee a teamster hauling sand or gravel, notice his wagon hubs. If they have improvised hous ing to keep the sand out of the spin dles, it belongs to the antiquated class that don't keep up with the march of progress. But if no hous- ! ing is used on the hubs, it's a genu- ine T. G. Mandt wagon the only wagon that has a dustproof spindle. If anyone should ask you, the Mandt wagon is the product of sixty five years of wagon-building experi ence. , Wagons are like business men. Some don't keep up with the spirit of progress, and thus lose pres tige. The Mandt has forged ahead until it stands in the forefront of all. If you don't buy a Mandt wagon you don't get the best. E..

ALSO WANT ONE PAID MAN Fire Hoys Relieve That City Should IisMise of Two Trucks and Get One Auto Also Should Have Man at Central Hose House All the Time There was a petition presented to the city council at their regular meeting Tuesday requesting radical changes in fire-fighting methods in Ashland. The petition came from the fire boys themselves and was formulated at a meeting of the de partment held last week. The sub stance of the petiton is that the city should dispose of the two hose trucks now owned by the department and secure one auto truck, and also hire one man who should be on duty at all times and sleep at the central hose house. They further recom mend that all fire alarms be tele phoned in and that the man at the central hose house turn in the alarm. This they believe would greatly in crease the efficiency of the force. Their plan also includes the consoli dation of the present two companies into one strong company. The peti tion also asked that 500 feet moer hose be purchased if the auto truck was bought and 1,000 feet if the present trucks were retained. The petition also requested an increase In the pay of firemen. The communication was referred to the fire and water committee. Hoard of Equalisation.
