BUTTEFALLSAND J’VILLE WINNERS COVETED TITLES Results, If Any, Count! Back in the good old days of Jackson county a district attorney was a man who committed himself to the task of prosecuting guilty persons for the protection of society. Since the election of District Attorney Frank Newman, however, a new system has been used which attacks law enforcement from a novel angle. As prosecuting attorney, Frank Newman’s record is one that would do credit to any defense counsel paid to keep his clients out of jail. Newman’s record is one of hesitancy, uncertainty and bombastic use lessness. It was only last summer that a thoughtless Ash land youth speeding down a city street struck and killed a man on a bicycle. It was an unfortunate trag edy, and none felt animosity toward the badly scared lad who drove the death car, although he admitted reckless driving. The case was taken over by the district attorney’s office with the final result that the young motorist was set free without so much as losing his driver’s license. tyW! This week the SAME boy on the SAME street was seen driving a truck at breakneck speed—esti mated at ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR near the scene of his tragic carelessness! Which, in one more instance, is a regrettable example of the poor results being obtained by the district attorney’s office.

COUNCIL FAVORS DRIVE FOR NEW POSTAL BUILDING rTHE Ashland city council Tues day night went on record aa favoring the adoption of some plan aimed at securing a federal build ing for this city during 1939 as the major project of the local chamber of commerce. The idea was advanced by Councilman W. J. Crandall and city dads took up the suggestion with enthusiasm. According to Marchial Stans bury, secretary of the A sh land Chamber of Commerce, the propo sition probably will be considered by the board of directors of the booster group at today’s noon meeting. The chamber is whole heartedly in favor of a continued and vigorous effort to secure a new federal building here,” said Mrs. Stansbury last night, "and there is no doubt but that a re newed effort to this end will be- come a major activity of the chamber.” In connection with the possibil- ity of securing a new federal build ing, Postmaster John H. Fuller said yesterday that J. E. Fitz gerald, Seattle postal inspector in charge of federal building con struction for the northwest, spent some time in Ashland Tuesday looking over the present quarters and inspecting other sites. Fitz gerald is in Medford in connec tion with expansion construction on the postoffice building there, and was gathering information to be used in determining action on expiration of the present 10- I year lease with the Masonic body early next year. “With the pres- | ent lease to expire in less than a year, some action will be neces- . sary toward leasing, or erecting, i postoffice quarters,” said Fuller. The city council Tuesday night, in addition to handling routine matters, heard committee reports which recommended granting of conditional options on use of lithia water to Emil W. Martin, Eugene man interested in promoting the Ashland golf course and develop ment of a health spa. The council also heard sugges tions for correcting duplication and confusion among some street names and numbers, and a discus sion of granting of a garbage col lection franchise revealed that the city has not promised such a con tract, but will perfect details con cerning the problem when bids are opened. Fred Tayler, former councilman, was nominated to replace Dr. W. E. Blake, resigned to move to Al bany. Tayler was unanimously ac claimed to the position. Mayor T. S. Wiley and councilmen expressed appreciation for Dr. Blake's many years of service here. SOCE WiU Launch Play Series Tonight Third of a series of winter plays, "Dangerous Comers,” will be pre sented tonight and Saturday eve ning in the ballroom of the Li thia hotel by Director Angus L.

Martin and interests of Eugene were drawn yesterday, March 9, according to William M. Briggs, attorney, and club direc tors have approved a membership expansion drive by Martin. The contract for sale of the golf club's real property, at an unrevealed figure, will require payment of full purchase price by Sept. 1, and will fully protect interests of present playing membership, it was ex- plained. Under the arrangement, man- agemen t of the golf course will continue under its present set-up, with perpetual upkeep of the grounds assured, the course to be leased to the player group on a $1 per year basis with taxes paid. Following consummation of the SAM JORDAN, determmed to sale, improvement of the golf greet spring with translucent course will get under way.
