While the preliminary trial of Aimee Semple McPherson was re sumed Monday Interest was tem porarily focussed outside the courtroom; when the district at torney dispatched a squad of deputy sheriffs to the reported hiding place of Kenneth G.

MORE TALENT DISTRICT WATER Another water project which will appear on the city ballot in November as a measure separate and distinct from the general bond issue is the proposal to purchase another additional 200-acre feet of water from the Talent Irrigation District. This proposal calls for the exj>eoditure of ap proximately $22/KM), and if it should be authorized the city of Ashland would purchase this water in perpetuity, with never any additional annual charges fo r th is w ater. .. It is conceded by all who ar„e familiar with the . water problem and the efforts being ipade to remedy the situation that this is bv far the most misunder- stated measure of all. To put it plainly, tins measure today is not jwipular with the rank and file of the voters of Ashland. “ Why pay out this big sum of money for water when they can’t supply it during an unusually dry summer like we have just experienced?” This is the <piestion whjch is being asked on all sides. Because‘the situation is not understood, there is a feeling among the people of Ashland that this would be a needless waste of public money to spend $22,000 for additional peonanent rights to Talent Irrigation District water. In answer to this natural and pertinent question, the mayor and meml»ers of the council vehemently insist that the purchase of this additional water will mean the delivery of this water each summer to the people of Ashland. It was two years ago that the city of Ashland purchased 600-acre feet of water from the Talent Irrigation District. In comjdiancc with the terms of this purchase, the Talent Irrigation District is bound under its contract to store, this amount of water each winter in its storage reservoirs and have it ready for distribution at any time the city of Ashland calls for it. This past summer was nnnsnal up and down the Pacific coast. Cities which never before had felt the shortage of their water supply were compelled to re sort' to water regulation's, and the Talent Irrigation District was inctudd jft those which had to order some curtailment. k ; ’ But the mayor and members of the city council put forth this claim for the Talent water purchased by the citv: . - • “ IF THIS ADDITIONAL WATER HAD NOT BEEN AVAILABLE, THE FRUIT ORCHARDS OF ASHLAND WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALLY RUINED THIS SUMMER AND ORCHARDISTS WOULD HAVE SUFFERED A TREMENDOUS LOSS.” This was the first summer since the purchase of this irrigation water that its value to the city was put to a test, and it more than proved its worth in saving the fruit crops on the favored hillsides sur rounding the city. According to the mayor and' members of the council, the purchase of this additional 200-acre feet , of water will provide just that much added insurance for Ashland’s vaunted fruit. If next summer should be as dry as this summer, anti the Talent Irrigation district should be compelled to pro rata its water supply, the city of Ashland would receive 25 percent more water, even under drought conditions, than it received this year. The Talent district would be com pelled to store this additional amount this wipter for the upe of this city. The question also has been asked during the re cent weeks why the city should wish to purchase the Talent.Irrigation District water if the people vote for the general bond issue to increase the domestic water supply, • , The answer of the mayor and members of the council is that the Talent water will for all time to come take the heavy load off the domestic water system during the summer months and always in sure an abundance of water for general purposes. The action of the council two years ago in pur chasing f>00-acre feet of water from the Talent Irri gation District was condemned by many who are now the strongest boosters for the purchase of tliis ad ditional water. The value of this water is especially realized by Ashldhd orchardists, and in the opinion of the mayor and council members, the famed foothill fruit products of Ashland are far too valuable as a city asset to be placed in jeopardy when the expendi ture now of $22,000 will insure an adequate supply for all generations to- come. ♦ If Ashland purchases the water, the Tplent dis trict will supply i t ‘ , TINNEY SOME BETTER RANKERS CONVENE DETROIT, Mich., O ct.' 5.— (U P )— Frank Tinney, comedian, passed a comfortable night and he was slightly better today, ac cording to announcement by hie physician, Dr. Leon Dretlka.
