ASHLAND PEOPLE
AGREE ON TROLLEY
FRANCHISE DETAIL
ASHLAND, Jan. 24. Tho com
mittee consisting of K. D. IUIrrs, C.
I. Hoot, II. V. Wnlker. II. I Whlted,
W. J. Moore. C. D. I.nmkln, E. T.
Staples ninl C. It. Wolf, appointed by
President llrlpgs of tho Commercial
club to ko over tho proposed Mlnney
frnnchliie, have gone over the objec
tions as raised at the meeting and got
together on provisions which would
moot practically all of tho objections
raised. Tho committee, later met
with Colonel Mundy and W, I. Vow-
tor, tho Mcdford representatives of
the. Mlnney peoplo, and tho lattor ac
cepted tho changes made by tho com
mittee. Tho principal ehnnges made, were
tho exclusion of tho tracks from tho
Iloitlevard, also tho exclusion of
freight traffic on Main ktreet west
of Fourth street etcept upon special
permission of tho city council.
Track Wanted
There was noma talk of excluding
tho tracks entirely from that portion
of Malu street between Oak street
nnd Helnian street, but a canvnRS of
tho business men and property owu
ers of that district showed but three
opposed to tho tracks wnllo most of
tho others held that It would bo the
death blow to that portion of the
business section to run tho street
cam around It. practically diverting
all trade from tho outskirts of tho
city and from tho suburban districts
to those business places past which
the cars run.
Another potent reason for tho de
rision wan tho fact that when a
street car lino la built nearly every
stranger who wants to look over tho
town will ride over tho street car
line, and to havo it fall to pass tho
beautiful park, and simply show a
stranger the back yards of the busi
ness houses, would give a very poor
Impression of the town.
Full Ilegnlatloa
A provision of tho charter as In
serted by tho committee gives the
council full regulation over the loca
tion of tho track upon any street
and over tho traffic, and expressly
prohibits permitting cars to stand
upon the streets any length of time
without tho express consent of the
council.
The permission to. run freight cars
over Main street, west of Konrth,
under the consent of tho council,
was inserted because of tho fact that
it might bo necessary to put cars at
tho end of tho lino or elscwhero for
tho convenience of the fruit raisers
In loading fruit. It will also, when
that line shnll be built, permit tho
twitching of cant of wood, hay
other supplies to it placo closo
those fruit ranches.

ERECT BUILDING
Ono of tho most modern and best
equipped cleaning and dye works In
the state will be erected at onco by
tho Pantorlum Dye Works company,
nt the corner of First street and
North Grape. The building will be
of rc-luforced concrete with cement
floor will measuro 24x72 feet, nnd
will contain an undnerground gaso
line system. This consists of two
rotary pumps and six tanks and has
u capacity of eleven hundred gallons
or gasoline. Tho building will bo
ventilated with u lurgo power driven
fan so It will bo free at all times,
from gases.
Tho move of tho Pantorlum peoplo
Is fully In lino with their progressive
methods. The company has bought
a 100 foot lot on which to build and
have arranged for construction to
sturt nt once. With tho new plant
the company will bo able to handlo
nil work that may como In and for
tho cuterprlso shown they are de
nerving liberal patronage, Tho com
pany's offico will remain whero it Is.
What Is said to be tho hardest
"cow punching" trip ever mado In
Southern Oregon has Just been com
pleted. In which a large band of cat
tle was driven from Hagle Point to
Dead Indian. Caught In tho snow
tho last three miles of tho Journey
required IS hours. For three days
tho vaqueros were practically with
out food not daring to leave to se
cure It. Fred Dutton, Carl Illnger,
Hay Harntsh, Joe Moo maw and Carl
Von der Hellen handled the cattle.
The trip is usually mado easily In
one day. Ilowover, when the higher
levels wcro reached deep snow was
encountered which blocked progress.
Tho horses were used to break trail.
Finally Dead Indian was reached
whero hay had been stored for win
ter feeding.
The mystery of, the exnledhn: well
nt Three Pines, near Omuls l'ns,,
is to he solved. An e.xoert from
the nil regions of Texas has visited
the phenomenon mul he snys unequi
vocally that the well is oer n lmdv
of petroleum, and that escaping govs
nre responsible for the rumbling
nnd muttering nnd the more violent
eruptions Hint daily eliuru the six
feet of water into mud, nnd thnt hnve
made tho neiehliors believe that
Threo Pines was located over that
place we read about. A recent press
account of (he well's netivilies reads
ns follews:
A mystery hns recently developed
nt the town of Three Pines. 1).
Davis dug n well on his initerly. It
was six feet square, in the clear nnd
forty-one feet deep. It was exen
vntcd through granite soil nil the
way nnd nt the bottom n xeiu wns
struck thnt stive iv feet of water.
For n while the well was on its good
hchnxior but recently n series of
commotions dNtiiibed it u passerby
hearing noises thnt sounded ns
though n great animal were flounder
ing about. Liter in the night other
disturbances came from it, each one
leaving the water murky ami riled.
One of the commotions was so seven
that it shook the house twenty
feet nwnv nnd awakened the sleeper
within. The next night the plitnometin
wns again rejwnted. The disturbance
seemingly coming from the well nnd
forciug the columns of water upward.
It comes with much force but the
volume of water is not greatly in
creased after each eruption. Mr.
Davis protoses to put n gasoline en
gine on nnd pump the well dry nnd
see whnt there is nt the bottom.

Tho purpoMo of Incorporation was ho
that a limited nmouiit Of development
stock could bo Hold for tho purrhaxn
or machinery mid to pay for contin
uing the tunnel.
The mine Is located back of the
'Van D)ko place, about equidistant
