I I asked him in writing as to the j actual cost of the present buildings j and machinery at the power plant. His answer, given me in writing, was jzb.suu, including waierwoms iu-ui m jeaiuiua) s eieui ou, me nrs.1 , Sunday school at 10 a. m.; church take, making net cost of plant prob- j in which women participated. The services Sunday at 11 a. m!; Chiis ably $25,600 for the power house j total vote cast was 463, a large per- tian Workers and preacl ing services and machinery alone. That the cost of the pipe lines was $33,000. Taking these figures in consideration, the voters must draw their own conclusions as to what kind of a power plant $16,000 will build. Should the bond issue meet the approval of the voters, then the fol lowing fixed charges must be added to the running expense of the system, figured on a monthly basis: Sinking fund for the re demption of bonds $ Interest on bonds Depreciation Operators at new power house 69.44 104.16 104.16 240.00 Total additional month ly expense $ 517.76 The present monthly ex pense is 1,900.69 Total monthly expense if new plant installed .. $2,418.45 It Is not possible that business can be found in the city of Ashland, if all worked out as indicated, that would warrant the payment of any such monthly expense. It seems that the losg to the people would.be heavier than it 1b now, ' This proposition should be consid ered by the voters from a business standpoint and not sentimentally. The insinuations that are being made that the examinations made by jne are for the purpose of lowering values and results In order that ft pale of the profit plant hilght be madPi Such insinuations' are with out any weight or truthfulness what ever. I would oppose as bitterly as anybody in the city any sale of the present plant, as it Is accomplishing a certain purpose of getting reduced lighting and power rates, but the people are entitled to know the facts, and It is only with the facts that I have attempted to deal. Business Is bupsiness, and the truth should be I known. If the voters of the city, I knowing the truth, then wish to make a further plunge, for sentiment and regardless of business principles, then I, as well as the other taxpayers of the city, w ill have to "pay the fid- j dler." The report as I made it was cor- j rect in every particular, and can be j clearly demonstrated from the rec ords of the city. But since then, I noticed that the council at the last meeting was obliged to raise an ad ditional $1,300 to pay interest on the electric light bonds, and which amount should be added to the in debtedness set forth in my report.

Displaying the best defensive foot ball seen here this year, Medford's high school team met defeat In the game with the heavy Albany team Tuesday. The score was 12 to 0. Albany has the heaviest high school team ever seen on 'a Medford field, and the local boys deserve all I the praise for the manner in which they held the beefy opponents to a . 1 . . . Tl lL Alt a 1 .1 score, uoui Aiuany loucuuowns were made during the first half. Three times, with the ball within a few feet of the goal, Medford held for downs and punted out safely. The Albany backs had a wide va riety of plays and were well , drilled jin ime plunging tactics. They car ried the ball well and ran low. Med ford depended on the forward pass, believing it useless to direct line plays against the heavier team, but the sloppy field and slippery ball made a successful execution of this play almost impossible. For Medford, Beveridge, Hill, Ware and Palouze, particularly in the last half, did the most spectacu lar work, but the whole line stood the test in noble fashfon. Albany's stars were Pontief, Abra- nam ana Aicuee. ine team nas the weight and snap to make it a decided contender for the state title. Xewxrt Votes Dry. Newport, Ore., Dec. 3. By a vote of 237 to 196 this place was voted centage being women, and the dry ticket was chosen as follows: Geo. H. Wilcox, mayor; H. F. Jenkins, re corder; T. F.

VARIOUS VILLAGE VOTES Miss Luke Said to Be First Woman Elected in the State of Oregon. Miss Leta Luke of Talent, aged 24 years, postmistress at that place, is the first woman in the state to be officially elected to a municipal po sition since suffrage obtained in Ore gon. At the city election held on ! Tuesday her townspeople gave her a majority of 28 out of 91 votes cast for the office of city recorder. Thirty-three women voted. Talent also claims the distinction of being one of the few towns in the state with a socialist mayor, William H. Breege getting all but one of the votes cant. There was no candidate in opposition, The other winning candidates were: For treasurer, Louis Brown, 77 votes; for councilman, John Rob inson 60, William Stump 60, and W. W. Estes 58.

The opposing candidates were: Roy Ashpole 4 8, Fred Finley 39, and John Smith 39. The elections in both cities created considerable Interest. Waterworks Report. Ashland, Nov. 30, 1912. To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Ashland, Ore. Gentlemen: My report of the wa terworks for the month of November is: We have put in 241 boxes that cover the city shut-off. We have had three breaks in the water main on Granite street, also one break in the main big pipe just above the lower intake. These breaks have all been repaired with new pipe. Our water system Is In good shape for the winter and we haven't any leaky pipes now. Also we moved the fire plug on the coiner of First avenue and Harga- idine street farther out in the street where it belongs, and also lowered 1125 feet of water main on Almond i street that was uncovered w hen they graded the street, The fire plugs have all been blown, i off three times this month of Novem- ber. Also whenever we have a broken shutoff that Is in the cement side walk any place we haVe to break out the walk so we can fix it, and we al ways replace the same at the expense of the City waterworks. The amount of money' paid out In time checks for the month of No- j vember. Is $186.60, and paid out for j matelral bought In Ashland is $4.50. Total amount, $191.10.

'In Ueaeen their amjeU ilo altrav behold the fact PI face or Mv rather." V. 10. ERIIAPS It was the fact that 'eler. James and John had been favored more than the others on several occasions that Jed to the query which opens to Jay's study: "Who, then, is the great ist In the Kingdom of Heaven?" Jesus, calling to Hiiu a little child, net him in the midst of them and said, "Except ye turn from this spirit of self-seeking and become as little chil dren, ye shall in no wise enter Into the Kingdom of Heaven." Whoever would be greatest lu the Kingdom of Heaven should therefore become as humble as this little child. A little child asks questions; it seeks Instruction; it does not profess and boast wisdom or knowledge it is enn-did-truthful. The Master's lesson Is that whoever would become a child of God and be developed for the glorious position in the Kingdom to which we were called, must become child like must turn a w n y from all pride, selfish ambi tions and hypocri cles , and preten tions. They must confess their little ness and ignorance, and go humbly to the Lord for in struction. 'Except yc become as little vhlldren." Any who refuse to ndopt this proper, childlike spirit. will be refused the op portunities of the Kingdom, for Uod will have none others none others can be taught of God. they wilt not lenrn the lessons necessary, under the ar rangements of this present time. "One Such Little Child." We are not to understand thnt little children are members of. Christ's King dom class. The Lord is seeking for mature men and women, who have a childlike mind, and who in gladness nnd simplicity of heart accept H1s Message. "Whoso shall receive one such little child in My Name, recelveth Me." "Whosoever shall offend," In jure, "one of these little ones thnt be lieve in Me. it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck nnd he were suuk in the depths of the sen." If some one were drowned in the sea. It would terminate his present life, but it would not at all endanger his future life. A future life, by a Restitution awakening, is assured to Adam and every mfember of his race. But he who Injures one of the Lord's little ones conies under such n measure of Divine displeasure that it will nffect his in terests beyond the grave.' He will be held responsible for his deeds in pro portion as he. realizes what he is do ing when he injures the Lord's saints. The Lord declares that' His faithful ones are as precious to Him ns the ap ple of His eye. and that all their Inter ests are subject to Divine supervision. Doubtless many saints from Jesus day down have been persecuted lg- nornntly. and the Lord will have mer cy upon those per secutors; but some of the persecutors have had stub light ns to make them re sponsible; and it is of this class thati our lesson speaks. Cut Off Hand or Foot. Here the Master Oo after the straw bl.ougnt lu a Bnylng ing sheep. . , ; . , which has perplex ed many: "If thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it oil. and cast It from thee; it is better to enter life maimed, or halt than having two hands or two feet to be cast Into everlasting tire. If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and enst it from thee; it is better to euter into life with one eye. than that hav ing two eyes thou be cast into Gehenna fire." Those who fail to remember that Jes us spoke to the people only in parables, will be liable to stumble ovei these words. His teaching is this: If you have anything in your make-up dear to you as a right hand or foot or eye, that is likely to cause you to stumble and fail to enter the Kingdom, you would better cut off that tendency, no matter tcha it costs. Would it not be better to enter into.i'e thnn to go into Gehenna tire, the Second Death? Surely! Having put our hand to the plow, having be come followers of Jesus, we must either iro on and be conquerors, or must perish. How careful the Lord's people should be not to stumble one another, even one of the least of these little ones! Jesus suggested that a shepherd losing one of his sheep would leave nil the others to go and seek that one; and ho rejoices specially nt its recovery So we. the followers of Jesus, should remember thnt we are nil sheep under the great Shepherd; nnd that He has the spirit of loving Interest and care which would go after the straying sheep; and we should have this same spirit. All the Lord's true followers are sub Ject to nngel care. The messengers who have 'guarded over the lives of God's saintly few nlwuys have access to the Ilenvenly Father's presence, to make known the necessities of those whom they represent. Oh. how blessed the brlvllege of being children of God! THE SUN AS AN ARTIST. Discovery Upon Which Turn All the Wonder of Photography. There is a wide variety in the pace at which the sun can give a color or change it A winter apple may be a month in reaching its ruddiness, a peach may take only one week to flush into its mantle of maturity, but the most nimble work of the solar ray in its decoration of fruit and flower is not to be compared with what It accom plishes in other departments. When its power was brought to bear upon some familiar chemicals It was found that its action was reduced from days to seconds. Upon this discovery turn all the won ders of photography. At first silver nitrate or lunar caustic, as it was commonly called was used In the cam era. From time to time otber sub stances of greater- and greater sensi tiveness to light have been produced, every one of them successively giving the solar beam a wider play and more astonishing power. Today, with the exposure of a photo graphic plate, not only are the beatings of an insect's wings caught in the cam era, but also the path of a cannonball. the skyward flight of exploded rock, and the sinuous glint of lightning. Chicago Record Herald. Laugh and Live Long. It has been aptly said thnt there is not the remotest corner of the Inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsions occnsloned by good hearty Jaugbter. The life princi ple of the central man is shaken to Its Innermost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface, thus materially tending to Insure good health to the persons who Indulge therein. The blood moves more rapidly and conveys a different Impression to all the organs of the body ns It visits them on that particular mystic Journey when the man Is laughing from that conveyed nt other times. For this rea son every good, hearty lnugb In which a person Indulges tends to lengthen his life, conveying as It does new and dis tinct stimulus to the vital forces. What Wellington Wat Doing. When Sir John SteeM. the wulptor. had the Iron Duke sitting for n stante he tried to induce him to look wnrlike. All his efforts were in vain however, for Wellington seemed. Judging by his face, never to have heard of Waterloo or Talavera. At last Sir John lost bis patience. "As I am going to make this statue of your grace." he exclaimed, "can you not tell me whnt you were doing before, say. the bnttle of Sala manca? Were yon not galloping about the Geld, cheering on your men to deeds of valor by words and action?" BahJ" said the duke In evident scorn.
