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. Memorial Services

Having Trouble
Over Bad Tires
The fire committee has taken up
with A. G. 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.

However, as Boon as he returned to

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? "

"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

' 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
