With refer ence to the royal pmelaniution issued yesterday making all finaiK'ia) in Btrumcnts contraband, it is explained officially that the entente govern ments frankly intend, if possible, to prevent every tran-r.iMinn calculated to assist the Teutonic allies to pros ecute belligerent openilions in tiny part of the world. Hitherto, it is asserted, there have been attempts by the central powers to evade the terms of n previous proclamation issued last April. The official (statement adds: "Money in the limy run wins, and no one who realizes the power of money can regard our action as either illegitimate or unnecessary. As nn indication of the vast importance of this question, it is calculated that sinco the allies began examining mails to neutrals contiguous to Cler ninny they have stopped about 30, 000,000 pounds sterling, which were going to banks or persons in enemy countries and including large .num bers of subscriptions to enemy war loans. "If instruments transferring such vast quantities of money to the en emy nro not to be regarded as con traband, it is impossible to concede what can properly be so regarded." The proclamation gives the follow ing: definition of what will he consid ered contraband : , "Gold, silver, paper money, secur ities, negotiable instruments, enemies, drafts, money orders, warrants, cou pons, letters of credit, delegation or advice, credit nnd debit notes or cither documents which authorize, cnufinn or give effect to the trans fer of money, credit or securities." Members of the Rogue Itlver Kifita Protective Association in the uicel Ins held in the library Friday even ing, voted unanimously for an un conditional stand for the closing of ilogue Hlvcr to commercial flshlnfi. In this stand, C. M. Thomas, newly elected legislator, declared that he will make a fight to the finish for such a .measure. A compromise suggested was the limitation of commercial fishing to tho use of drift nets, but this was voted down and tho sloRan "no com promise" adopted. A committee con sisting of Messrs.

The foundation of the dam extends 12S feet below the water level of the river and over 15,000,000 pounds cf cement have been used In Its con struction to date.. An interesting problem Is being solved by tho use of volcanic cinders to supply the sand clement of the concrete. For a long time the engineers wore baffled by tho fact that sand In slifft- elentto,itantlt!es did not exist In the neighborhood of tho rtnni, but after a series of experiments by the chemists of the power company nnd of the uni versity of Cullfornin, It was ascer tained that the volcanic cinders con tained In a rone nearby substituted perfectly Tor sand, making an Ideal concrete mixture. As a result of this discovery a great excavation cono has been seen in tho side of the mountain where acros of volcanic material have been taken to the mixers above the dam. I.telow the dam a large power house Is being built where two generators with u capacity of 12.D00 horsepower each will be Installed. In order to handle the heavy machinery and the. great amount of supplies required the power company purchased the I'o keganiu Lumber Company's railroad which gives rail connection with the Southern Pacific at Thrall, thirteen miles down the Klamath river. , HIGH LIVING COST IS MOTIVE OF CRIME ASHLAND, Nov. 2'. Two pro posed amendments to the city char ter were defeated yesterday nt a special election by substantial ma jorities.

The second provided for tho reassessment nguinst. real prop erty for improvements in cases where initial assessments prove void or nie defective. This also was defeated 3118 to fl'Jl. All three wards went ngainst both amendments. About half the normal vote was polled, and very little interest nppeared to be mani fested over Ihe result. The city elec tion proper occurs on December 1(1. Specifically, Ihe first ameud'ueut provided for n levy of :!' j mills for the upkeep nnd maintenance of all the parks of the city of Ashland, the mineral water plant mid for public ity purposes, iucludini; the iimmuit of $11011 heretofore paid to the Chau tauqua, and would have nlloneil a, levy of up to 5 mills, should it be' deemed necessary by the city eoun-i cil. This levy would have replaced: n total levy of 3'3 mills, which in j the past has been provided mills' for parks, 1 mill for mineral water' plant and :. mill for publicity. The J amendment would have abolished the park board and the springs coiumis-! siou nnd provided for the election of, a new board to lake over the work of the two.

The New Edison differs utterly from all talk ing machines, in that talkinn. machines give only a partial reproduction of music, .whereas the New Edison literally Re-creates every voice and every kind of instrument. Its absolute fidelity to the original has leen proved hundreds of times i ptih lir by ditvet comparison ltcttvtvii the living singers nnd the inMrmnenttilist-s on the other hand and Kdison's new invt'iilimi on the other. Over Stm.noo nnislr lovers, nnd the innsie t lit its of mo iv than 2O0 of Ameri ca's leading nowspnpers have soon and lieard tliese nMoundjii test nnd worn positively., uiiahh to (lKtintiiiisli tho oriKinal artist's voice or iiitrtimetit fivm Kdison's iv-rmiitton of it. In other words, they could not ftit i niilsli ono from the other when they listened alter nately to the living artists and to this wonderful Kdlton invention. What will you have in your home? You ehofe your piano, your furniture, your pictures and paintings wirh a view to getting the hest you could afford. The same discrimination will lead you inevitahly to select the New KJii-on. The New Kdison ha- a unau r su periority over all oth-r Kinds of oinulr repvodueini; instiuments than any other in tide of incrclinndiM ovsejvrs over other articles intended for a similar use. The Kdison Is slli;htly more costly than an ordinary talk ins machine, hut the difference Jn cost is insignificant, when compared if'h 'ho difference in quality. PALMER PIANO PLACE
