Ashland, Ore., Thursday, Dec. 7, '10 KNDKKS' CONSPIRACY. Another chapter was attempted to be written at the council meeting Tuesday in the Enders conspiracy to injure Plaza property by dostroy Ing Lithla park and the springs project, when a petition was pre sented asking that the council put a charter amendment on the ballot at the coming city election providing that the entire springs matter, in cluding the park, be turned over to the council, and the park board and the snrliiKs water commission be abolished. v Should Mr. Enders succeed in electing Mr. Lamkln and his three candidates for the council, with the park and springs project altogether In its hands, by the adoption of his proposed charter amendments, there is no question but thnt the whole power of city government would be at once exercised to destroy Llthia park in order to hurt Tlaza property and forward the ambition of Enders to "make the bats roost In the hole in the ground" in the Interest of Enders' property on East Main street Every one of the Enders candi dates, from Lamkin to Lemery, have always been and are now open and avowed enemies of the entire springs project, having voted against the bonds in the beginning and having bitterly opposed every public move , ment looking toward f rwardlng the enterprise at every election since. No doubt every bit of their opposl tion has grown out of Enders' antipa thy for the Plaza, and not their own Judgment of the merits of the project They are supine and humble follow ers of Enders' political fortunes and nmy be depended on to fight for his schemes to the last ditch. An interesting discussion of the automoblllst's responsibility at rail road grade crossings is found In a recent opinion in an automobile case by Judge Bufflngton of the United States circuit court of appeals. - "With the coming Into use of the automo bile," he says, "new questions as to reciprocal rights and duties of the public and that vehicle have and will continue to arise. At no place are those relations more important than at the grade crossings of railroads. The main consideration hitherto with reference to such crossings has been the danger to those crossing. A pon derous, swiftly moving locomotive, followed by a heavy tiain, Is subject ed to slight danger by a crossing foot-passenger or a span or hbrses and a vehicle; hut when tho passing ehlcle Is a ponderous steel structure, t threatens not only the safety of its occupants, but those also on the colliding train. And when to the perfect control of such a machine Is added the factor of high speed, the temptation to dash over a track at terrific Bpeed makes the automobile, unless carefully controlled, a new and grave element of crossing danger. On the other hand when properly controlled this powerful machine pos sesses capabilities contributing to safety. AVhen a driver of horses at tempts to make a croRdng and Is suddenly confronted by a train, dif- Icultie.j face him to wUch the auto mobile is not subjected. He cannot drive close to the track, or stop with out risk of his horse being fright ened, shying or overturning his ve hlcle. He cannot well leave his horse standing, and if hp goes forward to the track to get an unobstructed view and look for coming trains, he might have to load his horse or team with him. These precautions the auto mobile driver can take, carefully and deliberately and without the nervous ness contributed by a frightened horse. It will thus be sc-en an auto mobile driver has the opportunity, if the situation is one of uncertainty, to settle that uncertainty on the side of safety, with less Inconvenience, no danger, and more surely than the driver of a horse. 'Such being the case the law both from his own standpoint and the menace his machine is to the safety of others, should,. In meeting these new conditions, rigidly hold the auto mobile driver to such reasonable care and precaution as go to his own safe ty and that of the traveling public, If the law demands such care, and those crossing make such care, and not chance, their protection, the pos' sihllltles of automobile crossing ac cidents will be minimized. "In the case of trolleys crossing railroads at grade, the practice is general for the conductor to go ahead and from the track signal the halted car t o advance. This would, of course, be impracticable as a rule for automobiles; but It illustrates tly trend of the law, as the size of cross ing vehicles makes collision with them more serious, to enforce safety precautions. Tho duty of an auto mobile driver approaching tracks, where there Is restricted vision, to stop, look and listen, and to do so at a time and place where stopping, and where looking, and where listen ing will be effective, is a positive duty."

The idea has its possibilities. Who would not prefer a nice docile Ply mouth Rock hen to a yowling cat? Give the hen her dally bath and tie a pink ribbon 'around her neck if you will. A producer Is better than a non-producer any day in the week. Instead of having a cat curled up in the best easy chair, have a hen who will leave an egg here and there occasionally and pay for her board. The only possible drawback is that the hen might leave an egg, unnotic ed In tho chSir the minister always takes when he calls.

Carl wrote back, asking it he was a good strong player, and re ceived the following reply: "Dear Sir: You ask if I am a good strong cornet player. In an swer, I would say that It would make you laugh to see what I can do. On a good clear, morning I have been heard nine miles across the country, and was only playing soft at that. One day I go to playing so loud that I blew all the valves off the cornet, but that made no difference to me. I went right on playing, as I can transpose on the water key." Ex.

People's Fofum A Cop and a Cow Mr Editor: Will you please give the writer a little space in the col umns of your valuable paper that I may help the anxious seoker to solve the problem which he anxiously seeks to know? On the 4th of December about 7 p. m., one of our worthy citi zens, a merchant, came to our door all out of breath with excitement and told a wonderful story about one of our night patrolman, whom he had just passed on tho street, marching a hobo up tho street in front of hilm with the mcin of a general with pointed saber. Which sounded dole ful in the ears or our worthy mer chant and mado him feel the hair of his head raising his hat up into the night air. With a doleful sound of some intruder, for which ho thought must have left some awful tragedy behind him. and we tried in our weak way to console the in quirer but all in vain. He soon found bis beloved door at home and almost breathless at the phone tang up cen trnl and called for number 444-K and asked to know If the night pa trolman had captured an I. I. W. or a "spider-leg roadster" in his barn, and after learning that the, faithful officer of the night had. with the help of his noble son, .brought into the barn one of his domestic birds called a ec w without wings and was on his way homo, or rither to the offico to report to his worthy chief. After the exciting storm had passed over and gone, there was a great calm on the north and south streets and peace in the city onu- more. We give our good dairyman great credit for tho soothing milk and cream that soothed the aches and pains and also quiets the nerves of all In our neigh hood who had just passed through the ordeal of such an exciting time. We hope our noble patrolman will lie careful and try to avoid the dark ness and try no: to excite our be loved neighbors again like this for it is just terrible to suffer so under excitement, expecially when one has just passed a "spldcr-leg" camp and then to behold right in front of him a policeman in uniform with a man in citizens clothes on the march in front of him for the good of the cause.
