Its Tuesday night meeting for per
mission to use the city market lot at
the corner of First and C streets for
their street carnival which is to be
pulled off July twenty-eighth to

street from Fourth to First aveuue
but want the market lot for the main

The first night's parade promises
to be up to Ashland's standard. Two
autos beautifully decorated will carry
the queen and her maids and tiny
pages. A big crowd is expected from
Medford to witness the coronation
and they have asked to enter the pa

buggies or any vehicle with which to

The Traffic Ordinance which has
long occupied the attention of the
city council was passed last Tuesday
night at midnight after a prolonged
discussion. 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.
Here twenty minutes is the time
limit, except that a vehicle may re

opposite the vehicle. Vehicles for
hire are limited to remain but ten
minutes in The Plaza, in Mill street
between The Plaza and the park, in
Main street between The Plaza and
Water street.
The ordinance committee also in
troduced a new ordinance prohibiting
certain objectionable kinds of moving
pictures, vaudeville features, plays,
etc. The ordinance provides for a
board of censors composed of the
mayor of the city, the president of
the school board, the chief of police.
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.

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

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.
