The only restrictions upon vehicles in the matter of lim iting the time and place they may be left standing is in Main street be tween Mill street and The Plaza.

The ordinance passed to its first reading. City to Protect Water Interest I a representative or tne state en gineer s ornce appeared before the Ashland city council Saturday even ing and put before that body reasons why the George initiative bill merg ing that office with others and legis lating the present officials out should be defeated. The city council asked the secretary of state to place the name of the city of Ashland to the argument opposing the bill. The present incumbent from this water district, James T. Chinook, presided at all the hearings and saw the streams and knew the conditions in volved in the water adjudications af fecting Ashland creek and the tribu taries thereto. The city baa gone through contests involving the con flicting claims of forty water owners and the city as well as the attorneys for the other contending parties are anxious that no break be had in the cases at issue. Even when the worm does turn it makes little noise in the world. XX XX 8 XX Auto Trip To the Coast Billie Briggs left yesterday for an. extended trip to the coast country.

The many orchardists say the crop is as near normal as was expected. Reckless; Drivers To Be Tagged Portland Journal: "Get his num ber." This is the new order on all the Oregon lines of the Southern Pa cific in connection with the com pany's safety movement. Whenever an automobillst whizzes over a grade crossing dangerously near an ap proaching train the engineer leans out of-his cab and gets a glimpse of the license tag. Then he reports to his superinten dent that automobile No. so-and-so narrowly escaped accident ,at such-and-such a crossing. The superin tendent looks in his book, finds that automobile No. so-and-so Is owned by Mr. Whatshisname, and dictates a pleasant letter. The letter runs something like this: "Dear Sir: On July fourth your automobile narrowly escaped coll ision with train twenty-three at the grade crossing near Spudville. Our engineer reports that you did not look to see . whether the track was clear before you started to cross. We congratulate you upon your escape from serious accident, but would call your attention to the followlag facts MMWHI4J MliniHIIIIIHII lM I MM Ml BEGINNING Friday, 24th, we will begin a series of Special Sales. Our windows will show the goods each week, and the Lines ehown will be of special interest to the Ladies. . Wo will show only High-Grade Goods and the pricei will b near one-half of regular.

These Special Sales will continue eorao weeks with a new Line each week. ' WARNER I it The Low Priced Hardware Man i mono 14b 375 E. Main St. g y.r.v?Mr Then the letter recites paragrapns from the rules of safety, tells of the necessity for grade crossings and urges co-operation between, automo bile owner and railroad to cut down the number of avoidable accidents. "You would be surprised, to see what effect these letters have' had within the last few weeks, since we have put the system in force,'' said a Southern Pacific official-yesterday. "But it has done another thing, too, and that is to check up our engineers. One automobile owner to whom we sent such a letter replied very cour teously, admitted he had been at fault in not looking to see if the track was clear, but suggested that if the engineer bad blown his whistle or sounded bis bell he would bave been apprised of the train's approach and been put on his guard, regardless of his own dereliction In not:having looked voluntarily. . It's a check on our engineers and a check. on the reckless driver." At several points in the state, where grade crossings cross tracks which divide the town approximately In half, and it is necessary to cross In getting back and forth to business, the company has conducted informal traffic surveys. Counters were sta tioned at the principal crossing in Grants Pass and Medford. For two days a careful check of travel was kept. The results are somewhat en lightening. The first day 2998 pedestrians crossed the track at Grants Pass. Only fifty-three of these paid the slightest attention. On the second day 2773 pedestrians crossed and 138 looked or listened. For the two days 1229 automobiles crossed the track, and only one sin gle driver stopped to look. The watcher credited only eighty-nine with having paid the slightest heed to traffic on the rails. Of the 918 horse drawn vehicles, only 151 halted long enough for the driver to glimpse the track. The Southern Pacific has estimated that in 119 places in Portland Its tracks and public roads cross at grade. Over these some 30,000 trains pass annually. The possibility of ac cident at these crossings, based on the constantly Increasing number of automobiles, officials say, is mam plying in an enormously Increasing ratio. That is way the safety movement is being broadened to cover every point at which railroad and public bave physical connection. Automobile clubs bave been enlisted In the move ment and co-operation with street railway companies who conduct aim! lar safety campaigns is expected to have a noticeable effect in smaller number of accidents.
