ASHLAND, April 26.--John R.
JJImi, projector of the Roguo River
IntciKTban railroad from Ashland to
Grants Pass, has returned from New
York and visited Ashland Monday to
talk over with city officials and oth
ers tbe matter of the franchise for
the proposed road to cuter Ashland.
The recent city election was to adopt
a charter amendment to enable the
Kraatisg of a franchise for a period
ef 5 years, -which Mr. Allen de
v &nd&. The d resent plans are to call
h-Jter Another election at an early date
to SttbtHH to me pcopie iuu uiuiuuutt
rmbndjinf; tho franchise Mr. Alleu
Asks.
Mr. Allen says that capital is
awaitiBK his call to start the ball
cxellMR for the construction of the
jm posed interurban road through
-the valley and that it is up to Ash
3mkI sew to give him the franchise he
sk& He says he is asking no more
in the "way of privileges here than he
3ub been given at Medford and
Grants Pass.
The objection that has heretofore
"feen made to-the granting of tho
jtroposed franchise in Ashland has
jBcane from thfcouncil and citizens
who think theterms of it are too
broad and one-sided. Everybody in
Ask and, they say, is willing and
wudous to give every reasonable in
ducement to an interurban line to en
ter this city, and for the construction
. electric car lines "within the city,
"kit objection has been heard to the
taming over of all rights to anybody
without some restrictions and limits.
Jir. Allen says the franchise, broad
36 he seeks it, is necessary to give
i&e required assurance to capitalists.
3t will probably be put up to the peo
ple themselves to pass upon shortly.
GiLO HILL WANTS LOCAL
BRANCH EPWORTH LEAGUE
Secretary Taylor of Commercial
Club Waxes Most Enthusiastic
Whenever Name Is Mentioned.
GOLD HILL, April 26. Forty
feur was the number of those who
AHEoanccd their intention of joining
ike Epworth League, should one be
organized here, at a meeting held at
Ah church Sunday evening. It is
felt that the young people of the
iwn are in need of some such or
ganization as the Epworth League,
suii the organization will bo perfect
si at an early date. Among the
speakers at tho meeting were S. L.
Sqnire, Dr H. Miller and J. A. Bax
ter. J. Q. Jan-is acted as chairman.
Tho music was a special feature of
the meeting, Mrs. Baxter and Lon
l&arher contributed solos which were
much enjoyed.
BRACTS PASS TO HAVE
CLUSTERS OF LIGHTS
T. II. Taylor, secretary of the
Woodville Commercial club, waxes
most enthusiastic whenever Wood
ville is mentioned and never tires of
singing the little city's praises.
"When Woodville wants anything
they want to want and want it bad
enough, they usually get their wants
supplied,'' says Mr. Taylor. "They
wanted n steel bridge and a high
school, which they have. They want
nn incorporated town, which they
will have in a day or two. They
want a telephone line all over tho
Evans valley and Woodville, and the
wire is on the ground, and now tluV
have just woke up to the idea of an
electric plant of their, own, which is
going just one better thau any of
their neighbors. They hnvo an ideal
waterpower almost at their door and
are now organizing for the purpose
of construction of the plant immedi
ately, which can be done at a mere
nominal cost and which will bo am
ple for all power and lighting pur
poses for a long time to come. The
song of the hammer and saw is
heard all over and the odor of new
lumber and turpentine pervades the
air as the paint man tacks his little
shingle up, 'Taint," nt every corner.
A new city park with cement walks
is on the map and the next in order
is a new passenger depot.
"The real estate deals have been so
many and so diveres the past week
tlmt I have not been able to secure
a list. The hotels are filled to the
limit all the time and proprietors arc
looking sideways and wondering how
they can take care of any more. But
our own electric light plant is the
biggest thing in sight for Woodville."
WICKERSHAM MAY BE

est in Oregon. ,
