Jlr. Moreland's place Is situated In
-the 'doby" district east of Bear
creek, which Is proving so popular
with the fruit land developers, and

marking recent sales and he does not
know whether he can withstand tho

Hioldlngs much longer or not.
Another Big Land Sale,
j. w. Dodge, who purchased tho
old C. T. Payne farm on the north
side of Bear creek In tho Talent dis
trict and about fire miles north of
Ashland, and who sold a largo por
tion of the place last fall, has now

frontage on the west side of South
Main street from I. N. Shook for a
consideration of $5000. Mr. Shook
retains frontage for a brick busln?""
building, which he contemplates
erecting shortly, and It is not unn
llkely that Mrs. Kinsman will Join
with him In making the Improve
ment cover her lot, too.
The lot In question is a portion of
the site of the old public school
building preceding tho East Side
school which a number of year3 ago
was sold off at $8 per front foot. It
raised In value until a little over a
year ago some transfers were made
at over $30 and tho property sold
last week at $100 per front foot
brought $33 per front foot. This
serves to illustrate the growth In
values in Ashland.

ASKS COURT TO DESTROY
"ILLEGAL" COMBINATION
PHILADELPHIA, March 1. Jas.
C. McReynolds, special nssistnnt to
tho United States attorney general,
resumed today argument in the suit
of the government to dissolve the al
leged combination between the Le
high Valley and six other big conl
carying and producng ronds nnd
twenty-five or thirty independent coal
operators. Mr. McReynolds pointed
out that tho agreement by which the
independents sold nil of their output
to tho roads at G; per cent below
the price it brought in New York was
forced upon the independents, the
ronds being in n position to discrim
inate against them in the hauling of
their coal. Tho roads, ho said, had
put jt out of the power of the inde
pendents to carry on competition
through which tho publics would bene
fit. He asked tho court to destroy
the "illegal" combination.
Frank Piatt, for tho Lehigh, whose
argument Mr. McReynolds nnsvvored,
asserted that the situation was inevit
able and logical and to the benefit of
consumers nnd producers. Tho pres
ent contract between the roads and
the independents wns tho natural out
growth of conditions in teh transpor
tation and marketing of coal, ho said.
Tho arguments will be finished to
morrow. He's Here Now.

PARIS, .March I.- -Hum President
Annum! l-'nllloruw of Prance boon
stricken with tho sleeping sickness?
Is tlu iiut'Htlou being nuked hero to
day, nnd rumors persist tn tho offect
tliHt Ills resignation Is Imminent.
It has Just become known that tho
French ehlof executive lias moro than
once gone, to sluep while presiding
over u cabinet meeting of tho ut
most Importance, and friends had to
wnko him gently and unobtrusively.
He wns elected for seven years,
and of this term ho has served about
half. Ho is almost as much n pris
oner In tho Klyseo palace as certain
orient potentates nro In theirs.
Until recently lie took dally walks
In order to reduce his growing avoir
dupois, until the cafe waiter Mathls
attacked It I in near tho Cafo Trl
umphe. pulling his whiskers. Slnco
then ho has abandoned tho exorcise.
This Incident alone, howevor, was
not the cnuse of his shutting himself
In. Ho can scarcely leave the palace,
surrounded by a czar's escort, with
out a demonstration by Camlots du
Rol (royalists) making things very
disagreeable.
In spite of official denials, the
president's health Is very poor and
his friends nre fearful of grave con
sequences unless comploto repose is
hnd soon. In case of n resignation It
Is not expected before tho May elec
tions, perhaps not before fall.
