It Sinking Fund For Hectic Light Plant If A recommendation by Superinten dent Butterfield of the electric light hystem that a sinking fund of $200. jier month, based on depreciation fiff ures, be established generated con siderable debate at TneKclay night's council meeting Hi report in the matter shows that the electric light system now has a very substantial (surplus in addition to paying its run ning expenses and that besides this it has been contributing for about one year to a sinking fund which will take care of bonds and interest. It wag stated by Chairman Cunningham of the finance committee, and the statement was endorsed by Mayor Johnson, that the electric system could take care of the sinking fund of 200 per month for depreciation -without straining its income. The figures and recommendation were very gratifying to citizens who happened to be present and were ap parently somewhat of a surprise to several of the councilmen Mr. Ware questioning the accuracy of the re port and desiring further light on the subject. As a result of the debate the annual statement of the city's finances, which should have been published the first of the year, will be gotten out at once by Recorder Gillette, assisted by Chairman Cun ningham.

Long of Portland coast agent for the American-La France mechanical engine and hose motor truck the matter of making good the company's guarantee on two tires which have become badly worn. The outfit was guaranteed for one year and the two tires have been in bad shape for some time. Mr. Long sug gests that the city buy one new re serve tire and use same w-hile the worn tires are being sent in to the Dayton Rubber Company for retread ing. The fire committee believes Mr. Long or his company should simply ship the necessary new tires. The cost per tire is $100. Mr. Ashcraft, who hag been intimately connected with the installation of Ashland's new fire-fighting apparatus, is of opinion that Ashland's granite hills are much Harder on tires than are the levels of Medford and Grants Pass, where similar aparatus is used and where tires have held up better. Mayor Johnson believes, after careful I investigation, that the worn tires were defective and should be replaced by the company without quibble. The city will probably act on Mr. Long's advice later and keep a reserve tire on hand for use in case of accident. but will hold the American-LaFrance Company to its year's guarantee nev ertheless. Another Check Forger Arrested The police force rearrested a sailor check forger Monday morning in the person of George McCulIen. The lo cal police force previously arrested him and sent hi into Jacksonville, but Lawyer Lemery procured his release on the plea that he would have to appear on naval duty in thirty days. However, as Boon as he returned to Ashland he was rearrested by Chief Porter, because Porter had the sworn statement of the forger that he had sold his discharge papers to a friend in Seattle, some time ago. He had passed the check in Fort Jones, Cal The Yreka sheriff came and took him to that place for trial Tuesday. Mc Cullen passed under the name of Thomas Frame at Yreka. Road Bad Over Siskiyou Mountains G. H. Myers and D. M. Lamb of Los Angeles and Fred Morlett of San Rafael were in the city today on the way north on a motorcycle trip. They came the entire distance over the proponed Pacific Highway and say the roads are In very bad condition In many places owing to the lack of work in view of the permanent work. They say many places have been hard-surfaced along the road but lit tie has been connected up. The road over the Sisklyous is the worst they encountered on the trip. In places it Is almost Impossible to get over the 1 road even with a motorcycle, to nay nothing of teams and cars. In Chicago one of the heads of mall order house has confessed that he has an income of $1,320,000 year, and yet he is supposed to be at the head of an Institution which is working and selling goods for the benefit of the poor man who has thought and been made to believe he Was been oppressed by his local nier- ohM 6 N; l n,, bU-'lA .i oorrectiy A Diabolical Plot By MARGARET C DEVEREAUX A lady and a gentleman stood on the deek of an ocean liner about to depart for the 'Mediterranean. "Upon my word," said the latter. "If there isn't my old chum Dick Thurs ton coming uboard loaded down with hand baggage. I haven't seen him in four years. He's going across, sure. I wish I were going." "Introduce him. He'll serve to light en the ennui during the voyage." Til do it on one condition." 'What condition?" 'That you go for him. I'll let him Ibink you're my wife Instead of my onsin, and you must keep tip the de eption. lie's always prating about honor in not making love to a friend's wife and all that sort of . thing, while I claim that if a woman can get a roan In love with her she can turn him over to Satan, body nnd soul. Do. you agree V" . . Miss Katherine Maryweather in her heart snapped at the idea, but she oc cupied the few minutes to spare in de claring that she . would do no such abominable thing. Thurston was brought up and introduced to ber, Frank Waters having given him the impression that he had been married since they had met nnd he wished him to take charge of his wife for the voy age. "Remember." said Dick, giving his cousin a parting kiss, much to the envy of Thurston. "I'll remember nothing," was the re ply. Miss Maryweather was an uncon scionable flirt, and this request of her cousin especially appealed to her. She bad brought many a man to ber feet, as Waters well knew, but she had not experienced the zest attending making a man a traitor to an intimate friend. As to deliberately stating to Thurston that she was Waters' wife, she re pelled such u sin with horror; she would merely suffer him to suppose she was. The voyage consumed twelve days, during which the weather was delight ful, the sea smooth, nnd all were on deck every day .and moonlight nights from start to finish. Before the vessel reached the Aiores Thurston's con science was troubling him dreadfully. At Gibraltar be mnde a weak effort to leave the ship and do the rest of the Journey by land. The nlgbt before reaching Naples be seriously contem plated Jumping overboard. He had not offended, indeed, against his old friend, but he had been criminal in word and thought up to bis chin. Miss Muryweather had bewitched him. Once ashore, he righted himself and fled Bed to Rome, where he had in tended to remain u mouth. But, fear ing that the supposed Mrs. Waters would be coinlug up that wuy, be lit out for Florence. Indeed, he never stopped till he reached Lucerne. Frank Waters had .made arrange ment to Join bis cousin at a summer resort on Luke Thun, mid they met there In July. "Well?" said Frunk Inquiringly. "Well what?" "Did you break down Thurston's self respect?" "Certainly not. Mr. Thurston is a very honorable num." "Hi nee you don't seem dlsjwsed to tell me what happened I'll ask Dick." "He'll tell you nothing." "Won't he? Do you mean that he will lie ubout it?" "He nH'dn't lie. He can simply re fuse to talk." "I won't ask bliu. Ml charge him with till Horts of dishonorable things, and he won't deny them." "Such as" "I'll say, 'Dick, you've been making love to my wife? " "What elser "'In a moment of weakness you proposed 'to her to teste' nie and take MEN'S CLEAN CUFFS The most practical cuff ever put on a shirt sleeve.

Better values for less money. D up with you.' " "If you nccuse him of such a thing I'll never speak to you again." "I won't do it If you assure me he didn't." "You had no busluess to introduce him to me, letting him suppose I was your wife." "Why didn't you disabuse him?" "Why didn't 1? Why, because" lie looked at her with an amused smile, then continued: "Dick Thurston Is u mighty good friend of mine. When I saw him go lug aboard the ship in which you sail ed I knew you would expect an Intro duction; that you would flirt him all the way over and send him off with the rest of them on reaching Italy. What I did I did for bis protection." "How for his protection?" "In the first place, if he believed you to be my wife it might help bliu to resist you. In the second, If you succeeded you would be so tangled up in your deceptions that you could be managed. I'm going to confess the matter to hiin my past nnd yours." "You'll do no such thing!" "What shall I say to him? He Is at Lucerne, and I'm going to run down there tomorrow to see him." "What shall you do? Why. let him discover that I'm not your wife with out saying anything about your detest able plot." "Or yours." This thrust was received In silence. "If I do as you sny will you treat him honorably In future?" "Yes. 1 will:" The former Miss Maryweather is now Mrs. Thurston. -ST. LOUIS AS A VILLAGE. In 1767 It Had Forty-five Houses and s Many Families. Captain Philip Pitman, nn officer in the engineering corps of the British army, wus selected by General Gage in 17C7 to make an expert report on the territory Just acquired from France on the east side of the Mississippi riv er. Pitman came to the Mississippi valley, the Illinois country It then was called, and traveled about for several months. Here is what be wrote of St Louis in the early part of 1767: "This village is one league and a half above Kaoqnius, on the west side of the Mississippi, being the present bead- quarters of the French in these parte. It was first established in' the year 1704 by a company of merchants, to whom M. D'Abbadle bad given an ex clusive grant for the commerce with the Indian nations on the river Mls soury. and for the security and en couragement of this settlement the staff of French officers and the com missary were ordered to remove here, upon the surrendering of Fort Char tree (forty miles south of St Louis on the Illinois side to the English, and great encouragement was given to the inhabitants to remove wltb them, moat of whom did. "The company has built a large bouse and store here, and there are about forty-five bouses and as many families. No fort or barracks are yet built The French garrison consists of a captain commandant, two lieuten ants, a fort major, one sergeant, one corporal and twenty men." St Louis Times. Might as Well Have Seen Him. ' Awakening with a bad headache the morning after a banquet, a suburban dentist mused, not unpleasantly, on his last evening's spree. But suddenly bis wife appeared and, advancing to his bedside, shouted hysterically: "You wretch! What will the neigh bors say at your coming home drunk last night?" "But my dear, nobody saw me." the deutlst protested. . "Nobody saw you! What If nobody did see you? You know well enough they all heard the way I carried on when you j?ot back." New York Trib une.
