Thirteen candidates for office n
the next city election filed petitions
with City li'ecorder Telfer up to the
close of Ihe alhrttfd lime nt f o'clock
Sntnrday evening, and Hint number
of jinnieh. a ill appear on Ihe official

Four candidntes are in (he field
for ihe oflice of mayor. They are:
(1) W. Tl. Canon, present incumbent
(2) W. W. Eiferl: (.'() R. V. A. Ititt
ner, iiml (4) K. J I. Woller, socialist.
Tho first ward has (hrey in the

Number 8 on the ballol. V. .7. Em

The race in the third ward will be

cialist. William Vliich issued a statement
fSaturday giving his reason for ic-
i using to allow his name lo bo min

ond ward. In the event of his elec
tion, hu snid, both councilmcn from
thnt ward would have been from
Oakdale saenue, and as such a con
dition would not have been trt tho
interests of (he ward, he refused the
proffered petition.
If the recent prophesy of the for
est service, thit Oregon will at some1
future dnto bo Ihe greatest walnut
growing state in the Union, comes
true, (he same variety of trees that
arc now to be found along tho new
ly graded portion of Hiverside ave
nue with their roots exposed to view
may some time provide one of the
hirgest sources of revenue of tins'
commonwealth.
Owing to the'demandfor the wood
for the manufacture of furniture, thv
avnilablo. supply in the east is fast
diminishing nn already steps are
being taken bv the United States for
est service and by individuals to in
duce fanners in Oiegon to plant wal
nut trees along fences and in waste"
ground near buildings.
Black walnuts have proven espe
cially adnptnole to Oregon, and nil
of the most successful growers oj
walnuts are now using the blncli
walnut as a root upon which to graft
the nut-producing variety.
A number of excqllent walnut
trees arc now to be found along Cciu
Iral and Hiverside avenues, bul
those along the latter thoroughfard
will not survive the coming summer
unless steps nre tnken to undo tin
dnmage done them by the rcgraders.
The forest service has imported
8500 pounds of black walnut seed
for planting in Oregon, as well as
81. '14 pounds of red oak acorns for
the same purpose. '

Tho year 1010 witnessed steady
and healthy growth in all of the
towns of the Itoguo River vnllcy. All
have increased in population, pro
gress chess and prosperity.
Ashland greets the new year with
several miles of additional pave
ment, with U beautiful park, with
the fine Elks temple nnd other sub
stantial business structures com
pleted and more under way nnd
planned. Nineteen hundred 'uml
eleven promises to be a banner ycv.r
in the progress of the most benu';
fnl of the Itoguo Itiver valley cities.
Central Point has made phenoii
ennl progress and promises in tin
course of a few years to build lo
Arediord's boundaries. Probably
half a million dollars has been ex
pended in vnrious improvement--,
among theso being concrete "blocks
and stone buildings. A hew muni
cipal water system hns been com
pleted. Jacksonville has voted bonds for
the construction of a water system,
work on which is nlrcndy under
W'ny. Streets have been improved
und the quaint obi metropolis of
dnys gone by shows renewed life nh.l
energy.
Woodpile has forged abend by
leaps and bounds. A new brick
schoolhoiise has been completed, ue'.v
stores have been established and
many new residences built. Minus
have bedu reopened, neV stamp mills
installed, the town incorporated tu.d
business humming generally.
Gold Hill is also profiting by the
revival of mining. Lime is being
burnt in Inrge quantities nnd shipped
by the carload. A riilroad is par
tially completed to the timber bolt
west of the town, nnd it will jnob
ably be finished the coming year.
Talent reflects the progress 6T the

lands surrounding the town grabbed
by investors and planting on a largo
scale is the order of Iho day. Tins
town has been incorporated during
