Peebler-N'elson Wedding,
At high noon Wednesday, October

occurred one of the prettiest of the
October weddings 'in the marriage of
Mrs. Swenson's sister, Gladys A. Nel
son, to G. C. Peebler. Rev. W. T.
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.

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?
