John Churchman of this city, who
was killed by falling from a Southern
Pacific train at Pitt, Cal., Thursday
has long been a resident ot this city
and leaves a wife and one child. Ho
was a popular man and had only
recently purchased a homo here,
which, it Is eald, Is as yet hut par
tially paid for. Tho romalns will,
tt Is thought be brought to this ctty.
The deceased was a brother-in-law
t W. H. Mitchell, formorly forest
ranger and now on ot tho leading
merchants of Ashland.
The store of W. H. Edmunds was
gutted by fire early Wednesday morn
ing. Tho stock is practically a total
loss by fire and water. The flro
started in tho basement and is
thought by some to haro been of in
cendiary origin. Those holding this
belief think the same parties who
are responsible for some of tho for
est fires took advantage of the ab
sence ot many men fighting forest
firea to try and burn the town. Tho
Edmunds store is in the heart of the
business section and had it broken
out ot tho walls tho result must have
been most disastrous.
Tho Ashland socialists have pre
pared a new city charter embodying
the principles of what Is known as city, has returned from southern Cal

Uncle Sam Has Made No Provision
to Care for Widows and Children
of Families of Rangers Who Lose
Their Lives.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 26.
The widows and orphans of tho 94
forest rangers who havo met death
in the northwest while fighting for
est fires have no means of securing
reparation or pension unless congress
enacts special laws, according to a
statement by an official of the for
est service today.
After a man in the forest service
Is disabled, the government cuts off
his pay, and there is no means of
taking cognizance legally of the fact
that a man Is killed in the service.
Tho rangers havo a mutual protec
tive association to guard themselves
against misfortune.
The Btatus of the regular soldiers
who are aiding In tho flro fighting
Is equally bad. The soldiers, if kill
ed or injured while fighting fire,
have the same standing as tho rang
ers. Citizens also face considerable
risk, for the foresters are empower
ed to draft men Into tho service in
emergency under penalty of arrest if
aid ia refused. The man thus draft
ed is deprived of power to collect
damages in case of injury and his
relatives can recover no remunera
tion from the government.
Tho present forest fires are the
first In the history of the United
States where federal troops havo
been called upou to aid fire fighters
and it is tho first tlmo that tho gov
ernment over provided for tho caro
of injured flro fighters.
The forestry officials hero express
the belief that tho fires will result
In tho establishment of moro ade
quate means to prevent forest fires
and protect the foresters.

Council Anxious to Start Work.
KLAMATH FALLS, Aug. 20.
The Wurren Construction company
) Portland was awarded the con
tract for paving the streets of Klam
ith Falls last night by' the council,
but the final written contract will
uot be signed until after September
u, wncn tue unai icgui nonces win
havo been completed. The total cost
of the paving will bo about $135,000.
On account of the near approach
of the winter season and the deplor
able condition of tho main streets,
the council wus of the opinion that
every effort to expedite the street
paving should be made. They felt
that should they wait until after
September 5 to award tho contract
that considerable additional time
would be required before tho con
tractors would be able to get their
machinery on the ground, mid that if
tho work was awarded to them be
fore time they would be ready to
proceed with the street work immedi
ately after tho contracts were signed.
