Final re turns from the Grants Pass and Med ford districts have come in. This amount includes the acreage leased by the company formed by Medford business men, who formed a $20,000 company to raise beets. There is still an imminent possibility of the propo sition losing out, as the farmers are now inclined to hold out, and the lust 500 acres, if secured, will be signed up only after the hardest efforts of all. Paving Plan Laid Before Council On next Wednesday evening the city council will finally decide as to the advisability of putting the propo sition of rebondlng the city to pay by a general tax a portion af the paving assessments. At Monday evening's session a petition signed by 235 names was presented to the council, putting up to the council the matter of placing the paving relief plan on the ticket at the coming December election. The plan suggested by the petition was that included in the re cent resolution passed at the paving meeting which favored the city tak ing over one-third of the paving as sessments. Councilman Ware gave as his opinion that one-third was a little too much to ask, and while rec-; ognizlng the fact that the Bancroft j act system of paying for pavement was hardly fair, held that one-third j of the assessments against abutting! property added to the one-fourth which the city is already paying for the street intersection paving would be more than the city's share. Some discussion followed, and after look ing up various figures It was found that the city's original share on the Intersections was $80,000 and the amount against abutting property paid by the property owners $234, 000. Should the city take over an additional third the property owners off the pavement would be paying ap proximately one-half of the total pavement (the portion of the ad! tlonal one-third which the owners of abutting property would pay being figured In). It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that this would be too much, the councilmen holding that a propo sition of that magnitude would not receive the people's vote. ' Mayor Johnson suggested that it would be hard to get a favorable sentiment (n the short time between now and elec tion, and cited the August light mat ter as an example of the difficulty in securing the understanding of the citizens. .;. '.. Mr. Ware stated that on the whole the people of Ashland had paid up their paving assessments with a very few striking exceptions, and that the Medford agitation had started similar agitation here, in his opinion. He thought the council should put up a proposition which they thought would meet with the approval of the citizens on the whole, should put up the one third plan as suggested or should drop the matter and leave It for those Interested to bring up on the initia tive plan. Mr. Ashcraft said that he thought one-third too much and did not favor putting the plan up to the people In its present condition. Mr. Cunningham also thought one-third too much. He also suggested that the matter might possibly be handled without bonds and advised more thorough consideration. The matter was finally referred to the city attorney and a special com mittee of three, consisting of Coun cilmen Ware, Cunningham and Werth, who will make their report at a special meeting of the council next Wednesday evening. In the mean while the committee will confer with those back of the equalization plan and try to work out a feasible plan. Our bulk blend coffee Is the best and most economical coffee on the market.

Humphrey, pathologist In the United States De partment of Agriculture, It has beeiji found that dry rot in "mill construct ed" buildings in Washington and Oregon is due, in all the cases re ported, to ignorance and gross negli gence on the part of the users of wood as structural material. It has been found that timber in telligently used under normal condi tions will not rot, and furthermore that dry rot in easily preventable. In 99 per cent of the cases reported the cause was insufficient ventilation in be building or around the timbered joints. A lack of fresh air and heat creates a molHt and musty atmos phere conducive to the growth of fungi. It is well known that decay often starts in a damp cellar. Sometimes lumber becomes infect ed with dry rot in the yard or shed of the mill, and is then Ignorantly or negligently sold for building pur poses. Yard infection is usually caused by Improper piling of the lum ber. The lumber is not piled so that there is a free circulation of air throughout, or with sufficient slope to permit the rain to run off. In the shed the infection is generally caused by contact with a moist floor. Mr. Humphrey's study has un doubtedly revealed the fact that dry rot Is not only preventable but unnecessary.
