NATIONAL BANK THE - OF ASHLAND - Service The Andrews Ditch. Ashland, June 11, 1913. Editor tidings: Now that co-operation between city and country has become a live subject it seems fit ting to draw the attention of the citi zens of Ashland to a great injury that the city council proposes to in flict on the section of the country immediately west of the city limits. I refer to the contemplated closing of the Anderson ditch. This ditch, which has been running during the fore part of each summer without intermission for 52 years, has been the chief factor in the recent rapid development of the district known as Wright's creek, which now has about 140 acres below the ditch un der cultivation, 80 acres being in fruit, mostly in bearing, all within half a mile of the city boundary. Hitherto the council has taken the view that we, being an addition to Ashland, had better be allowed to have the water rather than it should run to waste. The ditch consequent ly has been allowed to run as long as there was an abundant supply of water in the creek, the city making a small charge for the water to pro tect their rights, the users under taking to keep the flumes in repair and the ditch in order. I may add, for the benefit of those who think we have had the water for nothing, that the cost of this work has aver aged $160 a year. This arrangement was not without advantages to the city as it enabled the city to keep the ditch open and thus maintain the right of way which must inevitably lapse if the ditch be closed and which probably has a Considerable pros pective value, consisting as it does of a strip of land more than six miles in length. If the ditch 13 closed it will mean a decrease of many hundreds of dol lars in the output of fruit, etc., from the district affected, stagnation will take the place of development, the ditch unless it is filled in and aban doned will either be an expense to the city or, by filling in in places, become a menace in times of heavy rains to property below it Should the city continue to let us hav the water they will be assisting in the development of a strip of country which must in a few years become a part of the city, and at the same time be retaining their hold on the ditch free of expense to the city. I fail to see how anything but advantage could accrue to the city by keeping the ditch open. I don't doubt that If all the facts bearing on the case were known to the public they would, with a few exceptions, take the coun cil's last year's view of the matfer. It is difficult to' understand the changed attitude of those members of the council who were fighting for the ditch last summer and are now obviously opposed to it. It would perhaps serve to clear the air if the councilmen who are opposing the ditch would make public the reasons for their opposition. Respectfully, W. TAVERNER. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.

However, there An Early Morning Automobile Jaunt. (By C. B. Watson.) H. G. Butterfield and the writer left Ashland at 6 a. m. and made the run to Montague in four hours. The morning was crisp and chill, the sky clear, and the ride one of exhilerat ing interest. It was one of those perfect October mornings when Na ture is gathering in her harvests pre paratory to the payment of her year ly debts. I have never seen the au tumn coloring more gorgeous, nor the mountains so lavishly bespangled. Every turn opened a new vista of beauty. As we approached Stineman a heavy freight train with five loco motives came thundering up the mountain, pouring out such volumes of steam and smoke as might have marked an eruption of Vesuvius or Pelee. You know how these great masses writhe and twist like things of life, not devoid of beauty, while in the background and about the margin of these surging billows the foliage touched with recent frost formed great spots and splotches of every hue and color. Maple, alder and aBh furnished the warmth in gold and were the first to be seen in the rifts of dissipating smoke. Then came the varied hues of red in which poison oak ranks first. The perfect abandonment in ar rangement gave a lesson in decora tion that art cannot vie with. All this commingling of color gathered density with distance, shading Into the darkest blue that marked the great forests on the border line of vision. We reached the summit above Siskiyou station just as old Sol in all his might poured his flood of glory over northern California and southern Oregon. All the higher peaks were covered with a fresh man tle of snow and Shasta biushed in rosy gladness as she towered in queenly grandeur the central and commanding figure in this, her realm. All the southern slopes were decorated to suitably greet a perfect morning and songs in silence pulsat ed and vibrated to make the heart swell. We stopped and uncovered there while in reverential silence we contemplated a scene not to be for gotten. Here and there spirals of smoke ascended, indicating the lone ly habitat of some mountain hermit, who had just received the . message that the world was waking, and away down the mountain puffed the en gines of another train toiling up the heights. Then on we went at 25 miles an hour, down, down, down, filled by the spirit that overflows; around points and curves in such rapid succession that the changing views became a kaleidoscopic happy confusion. The wealth of color was everywhere, acres of it; canyons filled with wreaths and garlands, clustered at the feet of forest giants, or nestling among smaller growths, filling Nature's vases, banked at the bases of great cliffs, or climbing and clinging to the more aspiring slopes, up and up until the glory of this prodigal decoration seemed to melt Into the distant blue of the great for est, while above and about spread the virgin white of newly fallen snow; a picture to delight the gods, while drowsy man nodded and slept in the valleys below. Then on and on we rushed, our auto appearing a thing of life in full enjoyment of an unusual experience, past Coles, Hilts, Hornbrook, sur prising people at their morning chores and laughing at the frantic follies of barnyard folks and noisy dogs that tried to stop us. From Hornbrook we raced along the bank of Klamath river, rattled across the bridge, and on, up hill and down dale, past Thrall and Ager, whirling across the face of one of the most beautiful pictures ever contrived and painted by the hand of Nature. Such environment, air and sunshine quick ens the blood and gives zest to life. Out into Shasta Valley we whirled and on to Montague, where we loit ered for lunch and gossip. After the usual attentions to our faithful ma chine we started for Slsson along the Pacific highway now in course of construction. Everybodr seemed busy. Farmers were taking in a are many persons in this community who produce good literary articles. Every reader who feels inclined to write on any subject, except those prohibited, is invited to contribute to this column, always being sure to keep your article within as nearly as practicable the 300-word limit. This we request so as to have room to use articles from more than one contrib utor at a time. bumper crop or summer faHowing for another one. Fields were filled with hay and grain and the pastures with sleek kihe and other stock. On we went, past Gazelle, Weed, Gur nea and Upton, reaching Sisson in good time for supper and to witness the glory of Shasta's "good night" to the setting sun, a splendid and fit ting ceremony at the close of a per fect day.
