RETAINED
County Court Appropriates Money to
Keep Pathologists fn Charge of Or
chards In Jackson County Other
Counties May Borrow His Services
If They Pay Pro Rata for Them.
La to Wednesday afternoon tho
county commlssloncro' court agreed to
appropriate tho sura ot J5000 for
the purposo or retaining tho services
or ProrcBBor P. J. CGara, pathol
ogist of tho department of agricul
ture, for tho year ending June 30,
1911.
It was agreed that this salary
should bo paid In monthly Install
ments nt the end of each month, and
that Professor O'Garn ia consider
ation of this salary should dovotu his
entire attention to the orchard In
terests ot Jackson county, taking o
rurlough from the department of ag
riculture. ,
Should other localities demand his
services they will bo expected to pny
to Jackson county tho pro rata ot
his salary whilo so employed.
Tho nrrancement is satisfactory to
Mr. O'Garn, and eminently so to the
fruit growers of the Rogue Hirer val
ley, as tho latter feel that Mr.
O'Gara'B sorvlces will bo worth many
thousands of dollars more than his
salary to tho fruit Industry during
tho next 12 months.
Whilo tho county court was slow in
tanking the appropriation, It was not
that tho majority opposed It, but tho
delay was mndo In order that tho
members of tho board might becomo
thoroughly conversant with tho facts
and that they might be enabled to
act Intelligently in making tho appro
priation nnd devising ways and means
for securing tho funds.

Ashland, Ore., June 9th, 1910 .
To the Ashland Commercial Club:
Gentlemen: Your committee ap
pointed to confer with Mr. J. R. Al
len in tho matter of his application
to the voters of Ashland for a street
railway franchise have respectfully
to repert:
We have had full and free confer
ence with Mr. Allen as to the several
objections raised to certain provi
sions of tho proposed franchise.
As to the objection that there is
no specific requirement that Mr. Al
len shall carry the work of construc
tion to completion with reasonable
expedition where it has once begun
on n particular street within the
tirao limit of one year from date of
adoption of the franchise, Mr. A.llen
has given us satisfactory assurances
as to his intentions and good faith
in the efforts ho will make to build
a road as soon ns possible, and has
furnished us the following signed
statement, which is in agreement with
the statement he made at the club
meeting Monday night.
"Ashland, Ore., June 7, 1910.
"I intend to accept the Ashland
franchise, if granted, in good faith
and promise ns part of my accept
ance to Tile an agreement in writing
to begin construction within one
year, as provided, and to prosecute
tho work in good faith continuously
and complete same in a reasonable
time unavoidable delays beyond my
control not to be charged against nitr.
"JN.O. R. ALLEN."
As to tho furthor objoction that
the franchise would permit Mr. Allen
to make r. blanket filing on nil tho
streets nnd alloys of Ashland, we
are satisfied by assurances from
him that ho has no purpofo to make
nnv reservations of streets and al-
company, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
IniminH ilAnmilli ilin ATil V if fl II lllllKnl
company, which is a virtual rubb'r
monopoly; that tho Sntaudard Oil
company controls tho oil producing
lands, thnt thu 'Southern Pacific rail
road and tho Ilarrinian heirs control
two-thirds of the Mexican railroads,
that the sugar trust monopolizes tho
sugar business, nnd that the Wells
Forgo Express company has a mon
opoly of tho Moxican express busi
ness. Thoso interests, it is alleged, aie
"protootod" through concossioiis
mndo by Prosidont Diaz, and that
consequently the iutorcsts ue their
powerful influence in America for
Diaz. Tinner assorts that financial
intorosts nro paying Diaz for those
concessions bv using pressure with

Diaz's ends, and pleading that if his
wishes nro not carried out "capital"

"In filing plat designating the
streets and alleys which I wish to use
for street railway purposes, I wish
to assuic the committee that suck
reservation will only bo made of such
streets and alleys as there is a rea
sonable prospect of being used and
occupied for street railway purposes,
and that it is not my purposo or in
tent to filo a blanket reservation cov
ering streets or alleys not needed.
Certainly I shall not want to use the
street aiound the Plaza and the nar
row section of Main street between,
Water street and tho Plaza,

of Mr. Allen) which is specific ns ib
the criticisms we have heard, and
seems to meet them fully:

"JNO. R. ALLEN."
IteroiumeiHl the Approval.
After carefully rcviowiug the pro
visions of this franchise and consid
ering tho question of grunting it in
every aspect in which it is presented,
to us, tho commttco bus docided tc
recommend its approval by tho vot
ers at the special election to bo held
thereon next Saturday, the 11th inst.
In reaching this decision wo have
been impressed by the evident good
faith and earnest professions of the
applicant for such franchise and the
assurances which scorn to us woll
founded, that tho road will bo built
within a reasonable time, tho money
being already arranged for. Having
due regard to the best interests of
our city as this mattor is now pre
sented and undestood by us, wo roc-
ommond Mr. Allen's proposition and
lecommend to the voters that his
franchise bo granted.
