Mayor's Report, Filed Recently With ,
City Council of Ashland, Shows,
Gain Made In Past Year in Municl
pal Improvements.
ASHLAND, Jan. 13. A perusal of
tho mnyor'R luport for tho year 1911 (
rcvonla n list of Improvements thnt
nmUo Ashland Btnml out prominent
mnong tho cities of tho const for pro
Bresslveness. In this connection we
quoto rrom that report as follews:
"It Is doubtful If thoro Is a city
tho sizo of Ashland on tho Pacific
const thnt can innko such n shewing
In tho way of municipal , Improve
ments as can Ashland for tho year
1911.
"Wo now have the best paved, the
host watered, tho best lighted and
tho best behaved city on tho Pacific
const. Our public schools are un ex-
colled, our churches nre prosperous
nnil hnppy In tho good work they are
doing, and, all In all, our peoplo as a
whole aro contented and happy."
From early spring to lato fall the
work of construction In one depart
ment or another has gone on and
with tho close of tho year we take
Inventory and find an Improved wa
ter system, an electric light plant
completed, ono of the most complete
ly sowered cities on the coast, In
creased facilities for fire protection.
miles of paving, and an armory pro
vided for, bringing the grand total of
expenditures for municipal Improve
ments up to tho sum of f-iCC.639.se.
These f Igurea prove tho statement of
tho mayor that no previous like ar
witnessed a like expenditure for Im
provements. Tho sewer system has been ex
tended 2 43 hi lies in all, Including
trunk lines on Granite street, Noxth
Main street and Mountain avenue.
Two septic tanks have been ordered,
ono completed and the other In tho
process of construction, in addition
to extensions of other lines in vari
ous parts of tho city.
The water system has been Im
proved by the substitution of new
pipo for the old in many parts of the
city. The lower intake up tho can
yon has been partially reconstructed
at an expense of about JS500, a ca
pacious cement reservoir taking the
placo of the old wooden one. This
should mean great benefit to the
higher altitudes of tho city In the
matter of Irrigation, as well as be
ing an aid to tho entire system.
Tho electric light plant has been
completed. The street lighting sys
tem, consisting of splendid equip
ment of three light electroliers,
adorns the main streets of the city.
The side streets are provided with
incandescent lights of high power.
The system, after being in operation
for ouly a few months, is nearly pay
ing expenses. Receipts from this
source aggregate in the nelghbo' hood
of $1400 per month.
About four miles of cement walks
have been added to tho area covered
In provloua years. This Jiqb entailed
an expenditure of about $9500 and
coverB tho mnln thoroughfares of the
city.
Tho paving area has been extended
so that at tho present tlmo Ashland
has approximately 7.1 miles of hard
surface pavement. During tho yoar
Just passed ull but-about 1.8 miles of
this has been laid, of which approxi
mately 3 0 miles was ordered during
1911, 1.S4 miles being a part of tho
old contract. Thoso figures wero se
cured from tho engineer, they hav
ing boon withheld from his former
report to tho council. Tho stretch of
pavement extending from tho hospi
tal to tho north city limits gives a
buulovard scarcely equalled In any
other city of tho sizo on tho coast.
An appropriation of $7500 has
been mado for an armory, tho state
and county to furnish tho balance of
tho $30,000 for Its construction. Ad
ditional apparatus for firo fighting
hus been purchased, which, with tho
splendid wator pressuro available,
gives Ashland a splendid system of
flro protection.

lit fact, in uiiie-teuths of the cotiutrx
of the lower imrlioii of southern Cab
fornia there cannot be anything niifd
except by irrigation. I made up mx
mind tlmt Los Angeles i a good plnre
lo go xvlieii a person becomes phx mi -ally
xveak by either old age or dis
ease, because the climate xvill not of
fer any resistance to life. I think
it is a mistake to say that southern
California is n good place for people
xvitli wenk lungs; I believe it to be
the reverse. 1 notice that a major
ity of the deaths recorded in the
newspapers nre the result of iieu
monin. Xow, this may be for the
reason that the country contains so
many people xbo are already xveak
in that particular. The inhabitants
of southern California consist of
two classes, those xvho pray for a
daily stranger to come into their
midst xvitli money so thnt they may
sboxv him around, and the other class
consists of people xvitli one lung,
people xvitli money and n dusire to
escape xvork, retired army officers,
bookxvonns with enough to live on,
religious cranks nnd philosophers,
gamblers and s'endthrift.s.
I attended one of txvo public gath
erings x bile in the city that had been
called for the purpose of making ar
rangements to entertain different
kinds of conventions that are to meet
during the present year. As for in
stance, the Shriner.s from all over
North America are to gather there
in May. not less thnn 10,000 in num
ber. The national encampment of the
G. A. R. xvill be bold at Los An
gelen later in the season. It is esti
mated that 50,000 members of that
body xvill be present on that occasion.
The chamber of commerce bus a com
mittee xvitli no otbor duly to per
form thnn to induce nnd arrange those
conventions. At one of these meet
ings I heard the mayor of the city,
the ehninnnn of the committee on
ontcrtnining nnd other leading citi
zens of Los Angeles speak. They did
not forget to mention the glorious
climate of southern California, nnd
the many attractions to bo scon in
nnd nbotit Los Angeles. Ono of the
speakers said: ".Mr. Chainnun:
While the thermometer is ranging 40
degrees below zero in the east and u
blizzard is raging over Oregon, here
xve have sunny skiej in tho xvinlcr
time." He nlso said, "I live in Fres
no, but it takes 10 years off my life
every time I come to Los Angeles."
I xvas invited to make n fcxv remarks
and I could not resist making reply
to the Fresno gentleman by saying:
"My friend is not xvoll advised as to
Oregon. The only snow that I have
seen this xx inter xvns in Siscdyoti and
Shasta counties in California. There
is no snow in the Rogue River vnlley.
We have plenty of xxhat your farm
ers here nre so anxious to secure, u
reasonuble amount of rainfall. Wc
have sunny skies in tho xvinter timo,
our scenery is bolder nnd more sub
lime than any that can be found in
Los Angeles, but money has not done
so much for the country as it has
here, Nut lire has done more. I
would not care to como to Los An
geles very often, if it had the effect
of taking 10 years from u man's life

you, as this advanced system of piano retailing puts
the business on a simpler, safer and surer basis, and
does away with tho questionable methods so often
practised by sharpei-s. with cheaply made pianos to
sell at big prices. The Seybold pianos have always
been marketed in a dignified manner (strictly on
their merits), which is becoming for a piano of such
rare good quality.
PRUDENT PEOPLE PREFER
to deal with a man who litis never found it necessary
to resort to the giving away of premiums, such as
piano purchasing checks, coupons, etc., which is a
system many dealers nre now employing because
their line of pianos does not have the necessary good
quality to permit of their being sold on their indi
viduality. Come early to Palmer's Piano Place,
