Van Scoy performing the ceremony. As the chimes of the clock were marking the hour of twelve, Miss Elvera Nelson, the bride's sister, struck the first notes of Lohengrin's wedding march, and the bridal pair entered the parlor from the right, followed by little Master Leonard Swenson, who bore the nuptial ring within the petals of a large, beauti ful pink rose. The bride, bearing a pouquet of white carnations and ferns, dressed in a white messaline gown and veiled in a long white veil with orange blossoms on either side, looked like a fairy figure of beauty portrayed in some fleeting dream. The pair to be wedded took position in a bower of pink and white and under a wedding bell of crepe, while theceremony including the bestowal of the ring by the groom was pro nounced. During congratulations Miss Leila Mitchell sang the beauti ful solo, "I love you truly." Next the bride threw her bouquet over her head .into a group of maidens. In the scrimmage Miss Kathryn Miller secured the prophetic bundle of flow ers. Then followed a most bounte ous wedding dinner fit for royal guests, and for the excellence of which the credit is due Mrs. Swen son. A fitting incident of the day was, it was tne bride s mrtnaay an niversary; so the guests were treated not only to wedding cake and bride's cake, but also to birthday cake. C. E. Lane, the business partner of the groom, made himself handy in the carving and serving of the turkey. The decorations of parlor and dining room were pink and white festooning interspersed with autumn leaves. A large number of very valuable pres ents, such as are especially needed in a new home, were brought or sent. The guests were relatives of the cou ple and a few intimate friends, among them four high school girls who were close friends of the bride. The groom is a granason oi air. and Mrs. W. N. Grubb.

DSeebe k Kinney i;JJL a i; . : um. . mi WHAT IS THE ELECTRIC LIGHT SITUATION IN ASHLAND? , This space Is being paid for by the Ashland Electric Power and Light Company for the purpose of discuss ing the above question freely. Owing to recent developments In the city of Ashland the electric light question is cne of great importance to each and very taxpayer. All its different phases should be brought to light and thoroughly studied. Taxpayers and city officials are cordially invited to make use of this space at our expense. The laws now in force in the state ot Oregon applying to the control of public service corporations and which Include the standards of construction, handling of .complaints and the fixing ct rates by the commission will not enly discourage the installation of ectric and gas plants by municipali ties in the future, but will also cause rUies to entirely abandon such plants 99 are now owned by the municipali ties and operated at a loss. As to J net why the installation of a municipal electric light plant costs to much more than a similar plant Luilt by a provate enterprise is a fact often commented on, and while the operating expense may be excessive or whatever other cause may be re sponsible for it, nevertheless careful ly compiled statistics prove beyond question that over 90 per cent of all municipally owned plants have been failures. We taxpayers and the people of Ashland are today face to face with these questions: Did we pay too much for our elec tric light plant? Has a full accounting of the money secured by bonds, voted by the peo lio for the express purpose of build ing our electric light plant, been made to the people? If not, why not? Is our city plant being run at a loss? If so, why so? ASHLAND ELECTRIC POWER & LIGHT COMPANY. Adv. care of his money. He was a part ner of C. E.
