Ashland Tidings Ashland, Oregon Council Works On High Gear Harmony reigned supreme at the first August meeting of the city fath ers held last Tuesday night.' Getting off to a late start and with a huge pne oi routine worn . 10 be gone through, the council worked like well-oiled machine, and although threatening to wax facetious at the last, managed to get through by ll:30. While nothing of major im port was transacted, many minor matters which have been hanging fire were cleaned up. The reading of the minutes and the monthly reports of the' various de partments, with a few quarterly and semi-annual reports thrown In for good measure, and the authorization of the payment of the usual batch of bills, occupied the council's time un til after 9 o'clock. There was an al moj total lack of citizen spectators either the hardness of the city bench es or the attraction of a perfect even ing keeping the "common peepul down out of the council chambers. Inquiry into the cost of remodelling the old jail room, now used as a storeroom for the electrical denart ment, will be made as the (result of discussion of making an office room of it. Fifty dollars was donated from the, piiDiicity runrj toward the entertain ment of the State Editorial Associa tion. A. requisition from the superin' tendent for supplies was favorably' received, as was also a requisition from the superintendent of the city dump. The resignation of F. E. Watson from the park board was accepted without discussion. A requisition for the purchase of a barrel of paint to coat the pipe on the trestlework above the power plant was allowed. Mrs. R. C. Morris petitioned that the council move a telegraph pole four feet at the rear of her residence property, so that she can build a ga rage. The matter was referred to the street committee with power to act. Mrs. Morris' residence is at 568 East Main street. G. W. Gregory complained against the Hotel Austin for allowing waste waters to run down past his door. The matter was referred to the sani tary committee with power to act. The recorder was authorized to ad vertise for bids for the construction of the proposed sewer In the Laurel- Helman street district, ' Bids for the construction of a cop- crete culvert on the Boulevard at the Ashland felreet crossing were read. A. L. Irwin'B bid of $84 being the lowest, he was awarded the con tract. Mr. Nlninger drifted in at 10:30 looking all dressed up and no place to go. : ' ' Paul Guiley's request for his an nual vacation, to commence August 15, was granted. On recommendation of the water committee the Hotel Austin's water rent was placed at $13.70 and San der's Dairy was given a rate of $2 for dairy purposes. The mayor was given permission to be absent from the city for three or four days, commencing August 6 On motion of Mr. Banta the street committee will go out and walk over a board walk on Fifth street. A transfer of $600 from the elec tric light depreciation fund to the general fund was authorized, the gen eral fund being short of cash until the next bunch of tax money comes In. The ordinance committee was in structed to investigate ways and means of prohibiting loose dogs in the canyon, following remarks by Mr. Russill on the 'subject of dogs chas ing deer. Dogs in general and Editor Wolf's dog in particular were dis cussed for a happy half hour. Resolution providing for the assess ment for the cost of the Granite street curb was passed. ORIGIN OF "BUNCOMBE." How Colonel's Name Came to Be . Term of Reproach. Whenever I pick up a copy of the Congi-essionul Record and numerous other publications and read the irrele vant speeches therein reported I sigh for the memory of Colonel Edward Buncombe, '"Glrurd" writes in the Phil adelplila Ledger. Through no fault of the gallant gen tleman himself, there clings to his uume un unpleasant slgnlflcnnee which nuiny of our brave public men do Daught to mitigate. Indeed, If there be such a tiling as one shade's taking vengeance upon unother in the future world Colo nel Buncombe will at least pull out Felix Walker's tongue. It was all Walker's fault that "bun combe" became a term of reproach, and the incident which made it so hap pened a century ago. Walker represented in congress a dis trict of North Carolina of which Bun combe county was a part The county bad been named away back in 1791 In honor of Colonel Buncombe. Walker was one of those long dis tance orators who without half trying could empty the halls of congress and put them in a condition beside which the dead streets of Pompeii appear great white ways. When upbraided one day for talking about everything ex cept the question at issue Walker used this Immortal phrase: "I am only talking for Buncombe," meaning his borne county. And so "buncombe" became a new word In our language, which has been conveniently shortened Into the collo quial "bunk." Classified Advertisements TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.

It was a French savant named rieurlou who 200 years ago gave to the world authoritative statements as to the height of Adam and Eve. He suid that the father of the race was 123 feet 0 inches high and Eve 113 feet 0 inches. He noted that from the creation of these enlarged editions of humanity degeneration had been rap- Id; that Noah was only twenty-seven, Abraham only twenty and Moses but thirteen feet In height According to this French authority, if the Christian dispensation had not arrested this decrease man by this time 200 years ago would have been a mere microscopic object, and we may conclude that by our time be would uot have been at all. M.

In the year 1785 a haughty noble of the ancient regime of France fell m love with a beautiful girl, the daugh ter of n wealthy tradesman of Paris. The liwter. refusing to encourage the nobleman's puis. on, was soon after thrown imo the Bastlle. The sweet heart of the girl, who was to have married her in a few days, dreading a like fate, made bis escape to Constan tinople to serve as a volunteer under the grand seigneur, leaving bis Intend ed bride secreted with a woman friend. On the outbreak of the revolution the young man returned to Paris and was the very grenadier who first mounted the breach made in the Bastlle, from the dungeons of which be had the hap piness of rescuing the father of his future bride. 8oap and Hard Water. The hardness of water Is measured by degrees. When a gallon contains one grain of lime it Is said to have one degree of hardness. When soap la used with furd water about two and one half ounces of It to each hundred gal lons of water must oe used for each degree of hardness just to overcome hardness. It combines with the lime, forming a mineral product, and not until enough soap has been dissolved to overcome all the hardness does the soap do any good tor cleansing pur poses. 1 Brazilian English.
