He was charged with making improper advances to an 11 year old girl at a local amusement place July 15. He was arrested yesterday when he re turned to Ashland from con finement in a Medford hospital. According to the girl’s state ment made to city police, Baxter offered to show the girl and her five-year-old companion through the amusement place and while doing so kept his arm about her and kissed her several times, over the girl’s objections.

AIRPORT ACROSS BEAR CREEK RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL 4-H Camp Starts At Lake ()’ Woods HUGE FARM DEVELOPMENT IN ROGUE VALLEY BASIN POSSIBLE Secure Lumber For Necessary Home Repairs Talbot Rites Held Saturday Refresher Course Conducted At SOCE Lighter This Year Fishing Good In This County Urges College Delay Opening BADLY DEEDED Herb Moore Buys Jacks Fixit Shop Stuart M. Good Among Wounded Way Want To Acquire Som e ! Of These Water Rights; Lithia Water, Zana Trust Discussed The city council last week discussed the advisability of pro curing prior water rights in Ash land creek which other parties and agencies now control. These include rights held by the Southern Pacific, and the Helman, Billings and Million ditches, all of which must be ta ken out of Ashland creek before the city can use any of the water flowing down Ashland canyon. These rights cover a considerable part of the flow, particularly in dry spells. City Supt. Elmer Biegel was authorized to purchase 2,000 feet of cast-iron pipe for pos sible use on the Lithia supply line from the Lithia springs to the city. The city ditcher has been used in checking this sup ply line and many leaks and small -breaks have been found, which are reducing the flow of Ljthia water to the city foun tains. The present pipeline was laid in 1929. The flow at the city fountains has been very in adequate lately and this is in connection with the council’s check to insure plentiful supply at the fountains. The Zana trust fund was dis cussed by the council. This fund amounted to approximately $8,- 000, with half to be left to the city hospital and half to the city library. The city recorder was requested to make a full re port on the fund at the next council meeting. City Attorney Wm. Briggs read the C/ev report o n * ASh4 land’s airport needs and possi bilities. This report is covered in a separate story in this issue. Supt. Biegel reported th a t wa ter is still running over the dam in Ashland canyon, but th at this overflow would prob ably cease today and water would then have to be used out of the lower reservoirs. This is the latest that the overflow has continued at the higher dam. A letter from the Ashland Ministerial association, which was read last week, asked th a t the city prohibit future carnival operations in this city. The council felt th a t such a ban should not be decided upon. Various reports, including those from the water, electric, police and street departments were read and accepted. The city recorder’s report showed that the city at the end of the fiscal year, June 30th., owned a grand total of $334,- 474.56 in bonds mostly govern ment issues and th a t the city had a cash balance of $55,159.64. Building permits were ap proved as follows: jeep that once was the arm y’s House and cabin, $500, W. J. Collis, 371 Mountain Avenue. Garage, Laurel Street, R. E. Holman, $200. Double garage, $500, L.

Jacksonville May Be Scene Of Movie A representative of W alter Wagner Pictures Incorporated is expected to visit Jacksonville, Oregon next week to survey the country—presumably as a site for the filming of the novel “Canyon Passage’” by Ernest Haycox, prominent Oregon au thor. The scene of the novel is laid in Jacksonville and Rogue River Valley. Florence Resigns Patrolman Duties 4 L. F.
