tract with tlio Ciilil'orniii-Oresron

I'.h heretofore, tho company waivihe
all further riirhts ., as to franchise
privileees,' a contention which raced
for voar and promised litigation be
tween the. town and tho old Ashland
Hlcctric lisht & Power company. On
tho other hand the town tacitly asrrees
to take over eraduallv n lot of lh
cimipment of the power coiiiunn w so j
that the expenso of this investment
nmv Counterbalance whut is saved
in the, reduction of current charees
on tho monthly basis of $600 instead
of $700... The actual value of this
equipment -will determine how much
has been saved bv the new deal.JIow
over, with all franchise privileees
abrogated, it gives the city a free
hand to. act in euienrencies arising
over the installation and workings of
one of the chief public utilities, and
in the hunt of past history this is a
welcome chance over past corfditions.
Reinforced bv the municipal plant,
the oitv docs not use the $600 worth
bought monthly from the foreign cor
poration, -but te excess is "con
venient to have on hand.": '..

With over IIO.OOO soldiers in the

Oregon's .military history, should be
an interesting one. but the state can
not compile such data without the as
sistance of county nnd municipal
units. It therefore behooves every
man, whether he has served overseas
or not. to lend a helping hand. Let
us .brain right here at homo with our
local bovs, betore nnv more are scat
tered to the four winds. Leave data
at the city librarv. which institution
will collaborate with parties delegated
bv tho state to the cud that we iniiv
have as complete n record as possible
of all participants in the various
brunches of tho service. Portraits
nnd views of scenes in the war one
are solicited, also souvenirs of the

these momcntos will perfect the rec

nel .Ihrongh which to gather thee
facts and figure-'. .nnd Ashland's sol

hand in this worS as such detuils
