Several came np fof discussion at Tuesday nigfct's council meeting. The disposition made o( these is recounted below. T!l? City im aKreed to haul wire to Long's Cabin Tof MmST". TtCeSon and Klelnhammer, who desire to fence their range in the forest re serve to prevent their herds on the Little Applegate from straying over the divide into the Ashland water shed, where twenty-one had died last year from eating larkspur, me cat tlemen wanted the city to deliver tho wire to the fence line, but this means a hard and expensive pock up the hills. The water committee has Investi gated the proposal of W. A. Conner to sell seventy acres just above the lower Intake for $1650 and declares the price too high lis compare I to that paid for other tracts. The com mittee asks for further time to in vestigate the offer of Martin brothers J Bell 339 acre's above the power bou6e on which tney estimate mere 5s 2,800.000 feet of saw timber. Superintendent Butterfleld of the electric light system reports that the conservation reservoirs above the power house on the east and west forks of Ashland creek have been thoroughly cleaned out and that the rapacity of the latter has been dou bled by the jnoval of rocks and fallen timber etc. The work of Installing e!p?it or en drinking fountains along Main street and the Boulevard will be begun In the course of a week or ten clay by the city water department, which Is now busy with the laying of 4(00 feet of water pipe on the west side of town. The pipe Is the ten-Inch that waa taken up when tbe larger pipes were laid over Crowson hill. The fountains will probably be of ce ment with porcelain tops and will be of sufficient size and artistic design to present a dignified appearance. . While the water department is at this work the school board will also have two erected at the high school. Several Changes In Business First flmomcorn Kblpiuhli " Probably the first shipment -f broom com ever sent out Of the Rogue River Valley was shipped from Aiibland to Seattle oh Monday of this week.

City council met Tuesday night with all members present. No busi ness of importance was done. The petition of various citizens on Oak street for a bridge, the ap proximate cost of which will be $150, was granted and the street committee Instructed to proceed with the work. The employment of a city dog catcher with police powers was au- tbo"ized ttnd provision made to amenft tne charter so that licensed dogs may W restrained from running at large except .when accompanying their masters. EveS" Eroceryman in the city except one baa eh'lor8ed the move to restrain the dogs. The ordinance against rendering lard and smoking hams Inside the city limits will be modified so that this branch of industry may be carried on under proper restrictions consisting of cement rendering and smoking es tablishments with adequate vents for smoke and odors. A provision will also be added to prevent the offering for sale ot slaughtered fowls that have not been drawn etc. The special committee on hitch- racks reports that the racks have been moved from the site of the new theatre and have been relocated be hind the stores of R. A. Mlnkler and the Ashland Trading Company. The same committee has been charged with the duty of looking up a newt site for the public market. Considerable ginger was injected Into Tuesday night's council meeting following the presentation of a peti tion signed by 2 2 citizens In support of the Chautauqua Park CIuo'b re auest for city aid in the care of their park. Councilman ABhcraft moved to turn the matter over for a thor ough working out by the finance com mittee of the council In conjunction with the Park Board and the Chau tauo.ua Park Club. The motion carried. A remonstrance signed by practi' cally every business man on The Plaza was considered by tne city council Tuesday night. They ask the repeal of that section of the traffic ordinance which specifies that autos shall not be left standing tor longer than ten minutes on the street be tween Water and Mill streets. They specify that their business is Injured thereby. It Is admitted, however, by many of them in private conversa tion that a lady customer driving an auto or a horse In an effort to ap proach their stores should not have to dodge or climb over several autos that somebody has left there early In tho day and forgotten to take away. It is quite a problem. Three changes in business firms took place today, indicating renewed confidence in Ashland's future. J. E. Weaver has taken as a partner in the Plaza grocery J. H. Hearsey. E. W. Lyman has sold his billiard parlor and cigar store to N. Natstead and 11. A. Gray. Mr. Fuller has disposed of his interest in the Falter & Paulse rud tailoring shop to Carl Hilty. In addition to these changes in business several deals have been closed in the last few (toys for resi dence property, but they nave not been made public. The people of Florence have sub scribed $1,0 00 for prizes for the rhododendron carnival to be held May 21 and 22. It is proposed also to build a road to the beach, a dis tance oT five miles, the road to be planked and made suitable for use the year round. Paint your "Ashland the house.
