The saying that “every man has his price” and communities are the sum total of its citizenship may be correct. At any rate in Tuesday’s election the city kissed a f -nd good-by to something be tween $5000 and $6000 of money’ from saloons for 1904. And that at the high est license compatible with the state law. As far as Ashland is concerned it is either a community “without a price” or the top “price” that the balance of the state puts upon the matter is consid ered too insignificant. Yet there is no doubt but that tbe value of the two policies voted upon Tuesday was seriously considered by the majority. The state of Oregon can quite likely afford one large town at least which is sufficiently clear headed enough to see that an institution that is willing to pay some $6000 per year for the protection of tbe law to secure its existance must of necessity be of that much damage at least or it would refuse to be “blackmailed” for any such figure. It pays Ashland to go dry. It is so situated as pre eminently a home town and educational center and with its matchless climate and picturesque beauty there is no place that offers a better lo cation for the raising of a family or settlement of sober and orderly people. These features have a value and this community is sufficiently abstemious to weigh that value. Another feature is the large pay roll of the railroad com pany. That company already exacts from its r-mployes a “dry” man and the whole business and traveling world wants him a “dry” man. These are the oermaneot features f Ashland’s pros perity and they have, “a price” that is more valuable than the few thousand dollars that are extorted by moral black mail from the poor deluded saloon man, and an amount that could be legitimately secured by lees than a five mill tax. The entire outside world can regulaie its own affairs as it sees fit, and for 1904 Ashland has decided to use its own judg ment. And that judgment will event ually be its permanent and established policy. Chas. Matney, son of J M.

The present popular holders of the positions of recorder and treasurer— Milton Berry and L. L Mulit, respec tively—were returned to their duties The former lead the race while the op position couldn’t hold Mulit—he went through like a greased pig. Capt. H. S Evans, the mayor-elect, has been in business in Ashland for some twenty years and besides making a suc cess of hie private business has always found time to contribute to the “good of the order” in various capacities, includ ing several terms on the council. The city will get good, first class work out of him in his new role. The c<>uncilmen- elect have the appearance and reputation of careful men of afliairs and with the three holdovers the business interests of the city will get careful attention. The personel of the body augurs well for pleasant and harmonious relations. The referendum vote on the saloon license question—24 majority in favor of prohibition of the liquor traffic—will be respected and the new administration at their fir-t meeting in January will vote as a unit. All saloon licenses expire January 15th. The city tax levy will quite likely be raised a few mills in order to continue the 6tre-1 improvement work inaugurated the present year. The newly elected officials áre not tied down to any faction on the saloon qqes- tion and since it is the policy of the people to prohibit the traffic the admin istration will do its best to see that the laws are enforced. These laws were ful ly tested in the highest court in the state at the ultimate expense of the violators during the administration of Former Mayor R. P. Neil and all that remains is to put them into execution should viola tions occur. There is one place in California on the map of Shasta county that has a greater rainfall this season than Redding.

Butte, Mont., Dec. 14.— A reported underground battle has caused a sen sation here, though the affray is clothed in much mystery. A -heavy explosion Saturday night entombed a number of miners and for a time it was feared over a score of men had lost their lives. It appears that ths blasting of Amalgamated miners in the Pennsylvania mine caused an im mense cave-in of Heinze’s workings, imperiling the lives of the miners. The Amalgamated officials deny any attempt was made to destroy the workings of the Heinze property and declare the cave-in was the result of defective timbering on the part ol Heinze. Al Frank, engineer of the Rarus mine, the scene of the blasting charges the Amalgamated people with wholesale destruction of ore and says rich deposits ot mineral are destroyed and wrecked timbers are buried deep ly beneath thousands of tons of rock Damage done amounts to thousands of dollars. Seven wen were caught tn one explosion and precipitated some distance below. Their’ escape was miraculous. The dynamiting was be gun after Judge Clancy had fined the Boston and Montana officials $30C for contempt on charges brought by Heinze and was continued for a period of seven hours. Box after box of dy namite had been exploded in an effort, it is said, to drive Heinze miners from the disputed ground. Superintendent Moultrop of the Pennsylvania mine denies Heinze’s charges. It is reported on the best of authority that before another twelve hours have passed several of the leading Amalgamated officials In the city will be under ar rest on charges preferred by F. Au gust Heinze.
