' cm COUNCIL IN The pity coum-il adjourned in n iliaill"fk Inst nif-'ht lifter a stormy Kcsxion considering the plan nilvniN1 iil by which tile city shall pay for paviiifr Mreet inteiseetions, and SO per cent of the remaining paving assess ments, (.'ouneilmen Davis, Keene and Amy stood far its adoption, while Kniiiuins and Mann were against it. Mayor Kmeriek is favorably inclined toward the measure, but eatinot vote except ill a tie. And in this matter a two-thirds vole of the eouneil is nec essary before the amendment can be placed before the people at a special elceiion. Councilman Margraves is in the cast and it bus been suggested that he be wired to send in his resignation. As his term of office expires January 1, llai'graves expressed ft desire before leaving to resign. In event bis res ignalion is asked, another member will be appointed by the mayor and ap proved by the eouneil, in which ease, if the new member is in favor of put ting the amendment to vote, the deadlock will be broken. Oonflletliig Opinion Councilman Davis this morning ex pressed the opinion that something should be done to encourage the prop erty owner to hold his property rather than to give it up for delinquencies. The !0-"0 plan, he believes, will have the desired effect. On somo prop erly, he explained, the cost of assess ments is greater than the value of the properly, and unless the city does assume its part the property will bo given up, in which case it will be nec essary lor the city to either legally clear the title or hold the property in definitely. Councilman Jfann, who stood firm against the measure, says he repre sents the attitude of the merchants. He objects to bnving his .stock taxed for the payment of paving. He snys the merchants are already paying for the paving before their stores ill in creased rents mid considers it unfair that merchants should pay whal is virtually a double tax. Mann asserted that all .should lie compelled to pay their assessments, that Ihe proposed plan was in reality nothing but a scheme for the benefit of real estate speculators, lie as serted that half of the assessments have already been paid. The figures on payments oblnined from the city recorder, however, do not bear out his statement..: $:Mi2,nno Xow PaUt Out of a total of $1)18,000 of 'as sessments, .$:!(i'2,000 have been paid, leaving $M0.OOfl yet unpaid. Mayor Kmeriek, while partially in favor of the plan, yet believes that the safest and best, way out nf the difficulty is in starting a suit to de termine ' the legality of the assess ments. The city attorney, he stated, was given an addition of $25 a month in salary, beginning last win ter, to pay for prosecuting the suit. However, in that lime nothing has ' been done. The matter will be taken up again nt the regular meeting next Tuesday night, and if an agreement is not reached it is probable a new eouneil member will be appointed.

OLD-TIME AIRS PLEASE CROWD AT BAND CONCERT The "Old-Timers" Band concert given by the Medford band undor tho direction of Bandmaster Rowland at the city park on Wednesday evening was a decided success. Poasibjy the largest crowd of the season was In attendance and the popular verdict was that the old time favorite songs are more enjoyable to listen to than the rag-time that Is In vogue at the present time. The selection of old hymns was the favorite number of the evening and the audience would not be satisfied until the band repeated their good performance. The Amer ican Patrol was also a great favorite, the effects by the drums and other In struments seemed - to particularly please. Among the many old delight. ful airs that were so well played by Mr. Rowland's band on Tuesday even ing were "Evening by the Moonlight", "Tales of Hoffman", "Robin Adair and "Killamey" which was played as a concert solo by Mr. Walto. Some time before the close of this the most successful hand season, the repeating ot tills identical program would find favor with the majority of the concert goers who attend the band concerts. For the balance of the week the band wilt lie an attractive feature at the Jackson County Fair. HUGHES SPENDS DAY RESTING FROM WORK I'.ltlDfll'.IIAMPTON. X. V., Sept. 14. Charles K.

CI E TO STATE SAYS T That Woodrow Wilson has an ex cellent chaneo of carrying Oregon Is the opinion of ex-Governor Oswald West who spent Thursday In Medford. In the afternoon he consulted the county court aa special attorney for the department of the lntorlor In re gard to the payment of delinquent taxes by tho government on the 0. & C. land grant, and in the evening discusses the prohibition amendment at the Presbyterian church .and the tax limitation amendment at the pub lic library.
