To the Voters and Taxpayers of
Ashland, Ore.:
I am taking this means of an
nouncing my decision to be a candi
date for the office of City Recorder
at the regular election of city offi
cials December 19, 1916.
My object in announcing myself
nt this t'me Is in accordance with
my views that the voters and tax
payers SIIOUIU nave amine umc w
investigate a man's character, relia
bility and qualifications, thoroughly,
before deciding whether he is or is
not a competent, reliable and atten
tive man to elect to serve the people
in one of if not the most, important
office in municipal government, also
whether he is a man who, drawing
a salary from the office, will or will
not devote his entire time and en
ergy to the duties of the office and
handle the city s business In an effi
cient manner.
My character and qualifications
stand open to the people for Investi
gation. I believe my past eighteen
months as a police officer in Ash
land is ample proof of my character
and reliability, and I would ask each
voter, who is not acquainted with
my qualifications, before deciding to
cart a vote for or against me, re
gardless of friendship, to thoroughly
Investigate my references, among
whom are W. T. Van Scoy, Ashland,
Ore., under whose prlnclpalship 1
graduated from the commercial de
jiartment of the Southern Oregon
T.tate Normal School, class of '99;
AV. I. Staley, principal Capital Busi
ness College, Salem, Ore., where I
later spent two years in commercial
training embracing all classes of of
fice work; Alma D. Katz of Portland,
northwest manager of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New
York, or O. Laurgaard of Portland,
present candidate for senator from
Multnomah county, under whose em
ploy I served two years as irrlgaion
and office manager of a large Irriga
tion project In southern Oregon, Mr.
Katz being general manager and Mr.
Laurgaard project engineer.
I have had a number of years of
practical experience In commercial
and clerical work and am competent
to give the people an efficient ad
ministration of the office, and if
elected I will devote my wnole time
to the office. I win not engage in
any other occupation whatever, or
BBe the people's time for personal
gain. I will establish business hours
of the office from 7:30 a. m. to
5.30 p.- ra. of each business day of
the week, and for the convenience
of those who are unable to call at
the office during regular hours to
settle water and electric accounts, I
will devote my time in the office
from 7:30 to 9 p. m. of each busi
ness day, from and including the 8th
to 10th of each month.
In conclusion I wish to say that
during my employ in the police de
partment of Ashland I have had oc
casion to acquaint myself, to a great
extent, with the requirements of the
Recorder's office as well as the city
charter and ordinances.
Soliciting your loyal support on
my qualifications and assuring you,
if elected, an efficient, systemmati
cal and business administration, I
am, Respectfully,
JOHN B. WIMER.

Well, Well, Wen
What a Splendid Well
J. M. Grimsley has a tea acre place
about two miles east of ABhland be
tween the Boulevard and the main
road. He has been there but a few
months since he bought the place
when he came down Into Oregon
from Montana. From preliminary in
vestigations some weeks ago he be
came convinced that ne could get
a good supply of water on his place
without going very deep. Following
his natural Inclination for research
he went down twelve and a half
feet then had to hustle out of the
hole to keep from getting drowned.
This was a good Btarter sA he put
in a few more small holes with an
augur and found more water. The
difficulty then was to stop the flow
to allow for further digging. Ac
cordingly he plugged up the holes
as best he could but had to do it re
peatedly to accomplish his object.
Even now the flow is not entirely
stopped and Mr. Grimsley has to re
sort to pumping with a gasoline en
gine to lie able to work in the hole.
He and a helper are well started in
on the corner of a reservoir de
signed to be 75x150 feet and 13Vj
feet deep when finished. Within this
area Mr. Unmsley has four holes
all with a good flow he thinks, from
a depth of 13 or 14 feet or less from
under. a hard stone of some sort,
about a foot thick.
The water is fine and soft and
comes from the mountains, Mr.
Grimsley thinks. He states that the
flow of the first well is about 30,000
gallons per day, according to his es
timate, and he thinks that the four
wells in the finished reservoir will
flow about 40,000 gallons per hour
when all the plugs are removed..
Mr. Grimsley hopes to be able to
furnish irrigating water for 200 acres
or more and already one neighbor
has tried to get a contract for water.
Electric power will soon be furnished
for pumping at this place.
One should see the turnips Mr.
Grlmslye has raised from planting
the seed broadcast late in Jury after
removing a potato crop from the land
and put'ing his waste water on the
turnip crop. Old timers are taking
notice of Mr. Grimsley's accomplish
ment, for this kind of development j
Is what will make prosperity in the
Rogue river valley.
