TOIIN R. ALLEN has convinced most of the opponents
lo his intcrurban franchise application at Ashland that
ho is acting in good faith and is willing to accede to the
wishes of the people in constructing the line.
lie has agreed to prosecute the work of construction,
when begun, continuously and complete the same in a rea
sonable time. He has agreed not to make a blanket res
ervation of streets, but to designate those only which he
intends to occupy. He has agreed not to use the street
around the plaza or the narrow section of Main street
between "Water street and the plaza.
As a result of a conference with the committee of the
Ashland Commercial club, tho following statement has
been issued, signed by Messrs! E. V. Carter, M. IT. Eggle-
ston and Otto "Winter, members of the committee.
"After carefully reviewing the provisions of this fran
chise and considering the question of granting it in every
aspect in which it is presented to us, the committee have
decided to recommend its approval by the voters at the
special election to be held thereon next Saturday, the 11th
instant. In reaching this decision we have been impressed
by the evident good faith and earnest in'ofessions of the
applicant for such franchise and the assurances, which
seem to us well founded, that the road will be built within
a reasonable time, the money being already arranged for.
Having due regard to the best interests of our city, as
this matter is now jjresented and understood by us, we
commend Er. Allen's proposition and recommend to the
voters that his franchise be granted."

Legend of St. Patrick,
fit. Patrick was a holy man
And minstrel, (oo, of old
.And bore on r? his wanderings
A harp wlt- strings of gold.
When Erin's ieroes went to war
With sword and lance and shield
In early times they lacked a flag
To follow on the field.
So good St. Patrick took the leaves
Upon the willow tree
And stitched the emerald strips to m&ks
A banner broad and free.
But ere -his task was done he heard
The trumpet's wild refrain
'And nailed it to his golden harp
And Joined the march again.
The banner of the willow leaves
Qrew dry and fell to dust:
'The strings that rang to battle songs
Were soon devoured by rust.
Hut still on Erin's ancient flag
The willow's tint is seen.
And still the legendary harp
Adorns its folds of green.
MAYOR HOLDS
EARLY COURT
Prisoners Arraigned Beforo His Hon
or Before Sovcn O'clock in the
Mornlnn and Impartially Distribute
Fines for Jans.
Medford is strictly up to dittu in
till rospouts, oven to tho holding of
police court at early hours.
Thursday morning it was 0:lf
o'clock when Frank Morrison and
Tom Wilson were arraigned hefore
his honor.
Morrison was given tho choice of
paying $10, working five days on
the strcots or making a noise like a
disappearance. IIo didn't lmvo the
ten, ho didn't like tho idea of work,
so ho vamoosed.
Tom Wilson had hecu working out
at flohl Ray. Ho caino to Medford
to liny "a pair of shoes, your honor,"
hut he incidentally hought a jag. Hu
left Wednesday afternoon on tho
north-hound motor for his place of
employment but showed up in town
that night. Tom was assessed $10,
and as he had the money on him he
paid the fine. "What else can t do?"
ho said.
The Solid Hoofed Hog.
There aro somo solid hoofed hogs In
4he world, but they aro few and far
between. Darwin has a great deal to
ay about such pigs In his "Origin of
Species," as there wero only threo In
England at the time be wrote this
book. The solid hoofed hog Is not a
frenk of nature, as many suppose, but
4i genuine case of reversion to a priml--live
or ancestral type. It seems that
runlike the prehistoric ancestor of the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoofs, tho old clotherlum, from which
-animal all members of tbe swine fam
ily are descended, bad a solid hoof,
nd In tbe course of ages, as tbe old
parent form died out and tbe modern
wild boar, domestic hog, peccary, etc.,
-wero evolved this solid hoof became
through what Darwin calls "adapta
tion" and "natural selection" divided
tip into two parts, so that all modern
hogs aro cloven hoofed. Occasionally,
however, a hog Is born with the old
original solid hoof of tlm primitive hog
ancestor, thus demonstrating tho tend
ency in all animals to revert now and
.then to the parent form.
Votes In Pawn.
In tho delightful duys of yoro a vote
frequently fetched hundreds of pounds.
Poor electors would not wait for an
election, but would borrow from tbe
candldato sums of money, for which
they would give promissory notes.
.And when the reform bill was spoken
of to some electors In Stafford they
expressed their pleasure at it and
'hoped that there would bo introduced
Into tbe bill Home plan for the better
payment of poor voters! For tho con
venience of would bo M. P.'s seats
used to bo procurable for 5,000 or 0,
000 cash down, while toward the close
of tho eighteenth ceutury tbe borough
of Gattou and many others wero ac
tually publicly advertised for salo by
auction. The sales wero uot for a sin
Klo pnrllament. but tho fee simple in
cluded tho power of nominating the
two representatives forever.-London

E P Briggs of Ashland was in
Jeksonville Thursday on legal business,
The action of the county coiu't and commissioners in
retaining Professor O'Gara, pathologist of the department
of agriculture, at the county's expense to take charcre of i
the orchards of Jackson countv, is one of the wisest and islands;
best moves during the present administration and deserves
the hearty commendation and approval of every taxpayer
in the county. The county thereby secures the exclusive
services of the foremost authority on pear blight and other
fruit diseases. '
Fruit raising is the main industry of the Rogue River
valley and upon the orchards depend the welfare and pros
perity of the entire region. 'No chances can be taken risk
ing the health of these groves. There is too much money
tied up in them and too large a population dependent upon
them to hesitate over the expenditure of a few thousands
annually for their protection.
The fruitgrowers" are now, for the first time, assured
of a thorough cleaning up of all groves. The laws of the
state give the inspectors authority to force this cleanup
with the alternative to the owners who refuse of having
their trees ruthlessly cut down and this law will be en
forced. Section 2 of the act amending section 4185 of Bellinger
and Cotton's Code, prevides: "Any and all places, orch
ards, nurseries, trees, plants, shrubs, or articles infested
are hereby declared to bo a public nuisance, and whenever
any such nuisance shall exist at any place in the state on
the property of any owner or owners upon whom or upon
the person in charge or possession of the property notice
has been served, and who shall have failed or refused to
abate the same within the time- specified m such notice
. . . it shall be the dutv of the board ... to cause
such nuisance to be at once abated by eradicating or des
troying the infested or diseased articles. . . . The ex
penses thereof shall be a county charge and the county
court shall allow and pay the same out of the general fund
of the county. Any and all sums so paid shall be and be
come a lien on the property."
Chlneio Names of Placet.
Chlncso names of places often defluo
their character. Thus tho terminal
"yang" means fortress, Plugynng tho
"fortress of peace." "Cheng" means a
walled city, as Fcnghunngchcng tho
Tbenlx walled city." "Shan" Is n
mountain, "bal" tho sea, "kuan" n
camp; thus Shankalkuan is tho "moun
tain sea camp." A "ling" is a moun
tain pass; Motlcullng, near Mukden. Is
tho "henveu scraping pass."

po" or "pho." n harbor;
wan," a bay; "fclnng" and "ho," n
river; "kow." a port; "fu," n tlrst class

Is north, "nan" Is south, "king" is cap

The Cnttle of Despond,
Ono of tho llucst French lonnlHsnnco
buildings in France is the Castle of
Despond, famous hi tho legendary lore
of the ToiilouHiilii country In which It
stands. Over the window of 0110 of
tho inner courtyards Is sculptured In
tho Htouo a bond iiliovo the motto,
"Plus d'Kspolr." These woro tho lust
words of Uoso dr Martini, whoso story
has been sung by tho poetH of Tou
louse. She wild the daughter of the
houso of Martial, to whom tho castlo
belonged, and she wits courted by tho
lord of Onstolnat, whose manor she
could see from her window, Hut, al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted, tho lord Jilted her, nnd she
fell Into r melancholy. She sat every
dny by the window, whence she could
see tho llcklo lord of Cnstolnnt's
manor. Oao morning ho passed by In
tho valley below. 8ho sung to him,
but ho never looked up. "I'lus d'Ks
polrl" she cried and throw herself out
of tho window on to tho tings below,
where she was killed. Tho manor of
Martial was known thoncoforwnrd iih
tho Castle of Despond. Tho lino build
ing was falling to ruins when M. Fe
nnlllo bought It, and ho had it com
pletely iind skillfully restored beforo
making a gift of It to tho tuition.
The Suspect's Declaration.
Parson White's precautionary meas
ure of protecting his chicken coop
with chilled steel bars was futile, for
that very night four more of his choice
Leghorns disappeared, leaving tho sov

bis suspicions olnted toward his noxt
door neighbor, whom ho had seen
prowling around his yard that day,
and accordingly ho had this suspect
up in police court tho next morning.
"If tho prisoner can fllo an alibi I'll
let him off with a suspended sen

His First Taste of Discipline.
Admiral Jouott, probably one of tho
Jolllest scadogs our navy over .know,
onco told an amusing story of his
curly days us a cadet.
"I was a sociable youngster," ho
says, "and when 1 went to my tlrst as

tHPIAN WARS OF SOOTHERH OREGON
(From J. C. Walllng's History of Southern Oregon.)
CHAPTER XXV.
(Tho War of 1853.)
A certain writer for the public
printa, while treating on tho condi
tions of tho Indian affairs in South
ern Otobo'i In tho early p.srt of 1853,
made use of tho following language:
"Tho nummary Justice cTonlt out to
"Taylor" had tho effect to fiomowhat
check for a time tho depredations of
the Indians North of tho Slflklyous,
and thoy bec?mo more friendly, and
more profusod In their expressions of
good will toward tho whites. These
professions proved only a blind, how
ovor, under which tho Indians ma
tured plans, nnd collected munition
of war for tho renewal of hostilities
on a larger scale. Dy restoring to
tho ruso, thoy wero ablo to agumont
their forces from neighboring tribes,
and form alliances unsuspected by
tho whites. In tho meantime, being
allowed accoas to tho promises of tho
sottolers, thoy procured moro or less
guns and pistols by thoft or other
wise, and -dso to accumulate consider
able amunltlon. In thoso days all
tho toa brought Into tho country was
with tho use of lead caddies, which
being empty, wore thrown out with
the rubbish, and from thlc sourco tho
Indians collected a very abundant
supply of lead, and through a fow un
prlnclpared doclors thoy procured a
largo amount of powdor."
It may bo pleasing to oxamlno a
fow of tho statomonts mado with
such assurance. It Is said that tho
Indians began, lntho spring of 18G3,
to court tho friendship of tho whites.
This article ovldontly refors to tho
Rojfio River almost exclusively, thus
soomlng to Imply that this tribe had
not thus far been friendly with tho
whites, Yot thoro Is an ommonso
nmmount of first-rato ovldonco to
show that this tribe was on excell
ent tonus with tho whjtes In 1852,

Taking One's Own Pulse.
Being ablo to "take" one's own
pulsp Is a doubtful accomplishment,
because the heart has somo peculiari
ties the importance of which arc suro
to be overestimated except by physi
cians and much trncaslneas occasioned
in coiihouuiMice. Irregularity of the
pulse Is uuturnl to no small number
of people without other signs of dis
ease. It may also be simply a tran
sient symptom, iliw to errors of habit
or other causes whicb, disappearing,
leave no trace behind them.
