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.

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

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

good time for supper and to witness
the glory of Shasta's "good night" to
the setting sun, a splendid and fit
