man V. J. Kmerlck, for mayor; J. D.

ward; Prank Amy, from the second,
and T. K. (Ed) Pottingcr, from tho

The Ashland sub-station of the
Callfornla-OreRon Power company
pas totally destroyed by flro New
I Year's eve, entailing a property loss
estimated at $30,000, covered by in
jsuranee. The structure and maitilu-
ery Is a total loss. Tho origin of
, the fire has not been determined. It
is still burning this morning.
The flro started between 9 nnd 10 !
o'clock nnd caused a cutting off of ,
the service lu this city for a few '
minutes. The Ashland fire depart-!
ment was powerless to halt the prog-1
ress of the flanios. which had gained ;
headway before their nrrlvnl. ',
.Manager Malone or the electric
company has n force of men at work
reconstructing the plant, and tho ser
vice will be reconnected as soon us
possible. In the meantime Ashland
is without electricity.
Medford cntors a New Year today
after a unlet twelvo months generally
throughout tho land, In better shape
financially and optlmlstlrally, than
any city in tho state. Nineteen four
teen va an even year, with tho scale
of buslnesK. building, crops, and Kn
eral conditions midway between good
and bud. There Is now hope and
promise for 1! 15.
The business strongth of the city
Is shown by tho fact that nil the large
concerns aro still operating, nnd re
port an increased trade during the
year from outside points. For the
last months there has been steady
Improvement In all lines. Ileal es
tate changed hands, and there were
several largo buys of city and or
chard property.
The construction of a box factory
and development of great bodies of
timber lying adjacent to this city are
piospects for J915.
