Sewers. Resolutions were adopted by the city council Tuesday night, creating Coolldge addition extension to sewer district Mo. 16 and Lincoln street eewer district, which contemplates a sewer line between Iowa and East Main streets on Lincoln. Plans and specifications for same were accepted and City Recorder Winter was au thorized to advertise for bids. Prop erty owners were present and spoke for and against the proposals In each Instance. In the Lincoln street mat ter a remonstrance was presented, signed by W. E. Palmer, M. A. Palm er. Joe True, C. B. Crosno, Mrs. M. E. Rowley, Mrs. J. B. Harrell and Mrs. Anna McClanahan. Their ob pection was the general high cost of living, the rise In materials, etc. City Engineep Walker showed that the rise In materials made little differ ence, that the Bancroft act made the cost fall gently, that tho sewer Is a necessity according to the board of health, etc. Three citizens of the proposed district were present to 'fin dorse the sewer. There was less op position. tofthe- other sewer system, but a desire forvinformat'ibrf oil the part of Messrs. Perrlne, Yarbrough and others. , Watershwl resolution. ' Another matter considered, that relates to tho city's interests in Ash land Creek canyon, was a proposal from the forestry department that the city stand the expenss of a patrol- man on the Ashland watershed, dur- ing the fire-danger season, at $75 a I month. The city wishes to co-oper- ate with the department In Its work, but deems that its present employes in the water and electric depart ments, some of whom are constantly In the canyon,, take the place of a special patrolman, especially in view of the fact that it can throw fire fighters into the canyon on short no tice., Memorial Day Observed in City Memorial day was appropriately observed in Ashland, the present war conditions lending an especial signifi cance and solemnity over the cere monies. One of the largest proces sions of recent years formed on the Plaza at 9 a. m. and marched to the Memorial bridge in the park, where the ladles of the W. R. C. with ap propriate ceremonies strewed flowers on the waters of Ashland creek In honor of the sailor and marine dead.

C, Honor Guard and Red Cross chapter. In the afternoon Hon. C. M. Thom as, representative to the state legisla ture from Jackson county, delivered a patriotic address "at the armory, and other patriotic numbers made up a fitting program.

S First Company Is Up to Strength The local Company 1 of Coast Ar tillery is recruited . up to its full strength of 109 men and are eagerly awaiting the call for mobilization. There have been several rumors and questions afloat recently regard ing the order to recruit all the Coast Artillery companies up to 150 men. This order has been countermanded In a later order from the office of Adjutant-General George A. White, which makes It clear that the Coast Artillery companies should not be re cruited beyond 109 men each. This order pertains to both peace and war strength. All the companies which have recruited to an excess of 109 will hold the extf a men to make good any loss due to discharges, but here after no company should be recruited above 109 men. In a recent circular sent out by thr militia bureau it was stated that the war strength of the Coast Artillery should be 1.911 men, but this was Incorrect, according to advice received later, and the number Is 1,411. , !'",; Signs of Activity On Billings Hill Everybody hold their breath!

Will Not Confine Deer In Lithia Park State Game Warden Shoemaker has Issued a permit to the city of Ashland to capture not more than six of the deer which have been frequenting Lithia park of late, and confine them In an enclosure In the park., The re quest for the permission was made of the state warden because of num erous complaints that the deer had been ravaging gardens in the vicinity of the park. The deer have become quite tame of late. The attempt will probably not be made, however, as 'game authorities state that the deer would kill them selves on the wire fence In attempts to get out, and the cost of a board fence Is prohibitive.
