BIGGER AND BETTER
ASHLAND IS SLOGAN
OF ADMINISTRATION
ASHLAND, Jan. 5. ' Ring out tho
old, ring In the new,'- occurred figur
atively as regards the city government,
on Tuesday evening of this week,
.v jshen Mayor Charles l; Looinis and his
" 'cabinet" assumed control, tho council
manic personnel being as follows: C.
II. Pierce, S. A. Peters, Sr., II. 0.
Wolcott, M. C. Lininger, Dr. R. L.
Hurdle, and Mrs. Mabel llurber. Pierce
is the only member of the preceding
council returned. The former council
Included Mayor C. II. Lamkin, C. II.
Pierce, Dr. W. E. Itlake, J. L. Burner,
Irving Finley, O. M. Ftost, nnd A. C.
Joy. The first session of the new
council was held in the chamber of
commerce offices Instead of city hall,
the old familiar place. Mayor Loomis'
"speech from the throne" was brief,
Incorporating a generalization of aims
and purposes, a specific program of
municipal activities to ' be outlined
later. His remarks were to tho effect
that, "As we take up the thread of
work which has just been laid down
by our predecessors, we feel a keen
sense 1 of responsibility, as tho work
before us is entirely now to us all,
with the oxceptlon of one, Mr. C. H.
Pierce. Wo feel that Mr. Pierce, with
ills two years of experience, and our
good recorder. Miss Gertrude Hlede,
with her years of experience, we can
look to them to steer us through the
beginning o the ordeal. Let's go slow
and (eel our way carefully. We all feel
there is much In store for Ashland,
and I hope the time is ripe for the de
velopment of the hotel project and the
water and cannery questions. Let us
work in conjunction with the various
commercial and civic clubs, and the
various lodges; our Chautauqua, hospi
tal, and winter fair; our schools and
our churches. Let us all pull together
with one thought and one aim for a
bigger and better Ashland."
Among appointments niade by the
mayor, Al Jordan as chief of police, de
clined the job, and the selection of
another man Is under advisement.
Both ante and post-election rumors
Blated Roy Hale for this position, also
Fred Putnam for street commission,
but F. R. Merrill gets tho commis
sloncrship. Webster Wertz comes into
his own as patrolman, a position for
merly held by .him under the previous
fl(lministrationr'nd-from which he was
removed unjustly, so Webster asserts.
The fire department go out In a body,
Clint Kaughman being appointed chief,
with Arthur Peters and H. W. ForbeB
as assistants. It was conceded Unit
John Dill had a cinctt on the attorney
generalship, but this position returns
to W. J. Moore, a former incumbent,
Dill being promoted to tho supreme
bench as city judge, a place which
W. H. Gowdy formerly held. Most
were of the opinion that Miles Pinion
would be continued in office, hence his
job as superintendent yf cemeteries
has been confirmed by a reappoint

Hill Hatcher 1b holding onto the place
until his successor is appointed and
furnishes noccssury bonds, a requisite
which Hill had to comply with when

Drs. E. A. Woods and G. O. JarvlB are

As to the retiring city employes, It Is
conceded that most of Uiera will enter

nevermore will the Unemployed . club

' Despite talk that the presentation of
the Community Hospital to the city by
Jesse Wlnburn would never material

were strings attached to the transfer,
as there should be, until a complete

should be apparent As to the expense
of remodeling the Institution, the
amount is large, in fact a sum finding

John Loughlln, of this city, has re
ceived word of the death of his moth

red at the home of a son in San Luis
Obispo. Cal., on New Year's morning.
The deceased was a native of Ireland,
coming to America in 18G0, and was
80 years of age, having been a widow
for nearly half that period. She is sur
vived by four sons, among them John,
with whom she resided here for over
a year some time since. -She was a
woman of force of character and kind
ly nature, and many will remember
her for these attributes, during a, resi
dence in Ashland where she won many
friends.
A splendid toc'ial event marked" the
entrance of the new official family of

Excuse us for mentioning the name
of Jesse Wlnburn again, but in this
instance it Is not in the way of a bene
diction, but rattier savors of a male
diction at the hands of those who will
appeal to the courts in the way of
securing punitive damages for an acci
dent which occurred way back in July
last, so far distant as to be reckoned as
ancient history, almost barred by the
statute of limitations.' This refers to
the suit entered by Father ,Connty,
local Catholic priest, who claims dam
ages in the sum of $5000, for being run
down , on Ashland streets by Jesse's
saddle' ponies, which lie alleges were
carelessly handled.

SUGAR BEETS BIG
EGG PRODUCER IN
THE EDEN PRECINCT
By Mary O. Carey.
EDEN I'UHOINCT, Jan. 4. S. S.
Stephens Is furnishing tho poultry j
keepers in this vicinity .with sugar
beets for feeding their hens, which
feed is considered unexcelled for egg
production. The birds have to have!
something to keep busy at, and the
beets do this, as they are hung up In
the houses, high enough to make the
hens jump to get every bite, thus fur
nishing plenty of exorcise. i
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Lockwood of the
White Wing Poultry Kami near Phoe
nix, were business callers at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Bruin of North
Talent last Monday. While in conver
sation with Mr. Lockwood, he told me
that he had secured a pen of. thirteen
hens from his prize three hundred egg
hen. Vour correspondent saw these
baby cbix last April, and they were
very promising youngsters.
The littlo store on the highway be
longing to Mrs. Ed Wilder will have to
be closed indefinitely on account of
sickness. Mrs. Wilder has six hundred
hens to care for besides the work in
the store, and add to these duties the
care of sick persons and It is more
than she can do.
The cow-testing men were again on
their rounds Wednesday. They were
in North Talent where they made tests
on several dairy herds.
There was held a watch party at the
home of James Allen and Mr. nnd Mrs.
Jack Allen last Sunday evening, when
a few of the near neighbors were Invit
ed to watch the old year out, and the
New Year In.
The young folks of Talent who were
home from O. A. C. and Eugene, have
returned to their work again, each with
renewed enthusiasm for study. Among
them were Miss Lucille Holdrldge,
Miss Marjorle Adamson and others.
Aubrey Furry or Phoenix, who came
home from Eugene, returned to his
school work again the first of this
week. While here the attendants at
church on Sunday last were given a
treat to two solos sung by him at the
morning services. Those who were
fortunate enough to oe present had
many words of praise for his unusually
fine voice.
Carl Newbury came in from Klamath
Falls Tuesday where he had been visit
ing his mother and attending his bro
ther Don's wedding,, at. which . Carl
was best man." "
Quite a bunch of Phoenix Woodmen
went down to the big initiation at Med
ford last Wednesday night. . Among
them was Noah Chandler, J, E. Rob
erts. P. E. Furry, Mr. Bowman 'and
son Carl, and others.
North Talent, bids fair to be quite a
burg soon. There is to be an up-to-
date garage started In the very near
future, whilo another one of our pros
perous residents talks very strongly of
putting in a feed store, with which to
supply our many poultry people with
all kinds of feeds. We already have
the I. X. L. Garden, which in summer is
a vegetable market in Itself. Then
there is the Carey Plant farm which
does quite a business in all kinds of
garden plants. Talent brings our man
to our doors, and carries our products
away.

Robert Schlelchart of Medford was

Thursday and Friday during the holi

L. K. Haak, one of our progressive
farmers and orchardlsts made a trip
to Portland the last of the week to
visit his father and two brothers to be
gone about a week. His father, I
understand, is In poor health. During
the heavy rains we have had for the
past few days the water came danger
ously near the Haak residence, but so
far as I can learn did no damage, but
I understand that It undermined the
ends of the railroad bridge that crosses
Butte"; creek a short distance below
town.-The fridge was built in a''low
bottom whern it was" a common thin?
to see the water flow' all ovor the
entire flat and if the civil engineers
had looked along the banks of tho
creek a little more closely they could
have found plenty of evidence tltat It
was not a suitable plaflfe to build a rail
road brldge.t)taiy'memory is correct,
it was planned to move the location of
the bridge and -out Jt-up higher on the
creek near where the Crater Lake
highway bridge Is located, before the
road went from under the management
of tho old P. & E. company, and prob
ably the change will be made sooner or
later for the managers of the road
have always bad more or less trouble
with the bridge whenever we have
our old-fashioned rains such as we had
years ago.
Our new year came in with a bright
sunshiny morning, and the prospect
was that we were going to have a time

CHICAGO WOMAN MAY

days of the season and most of the
business houses were closed and the
day was given up to the pleasures of
life, but that night it 'commenced to
rain and it rained just like it used to
in .the SO's and CD's and even later
until the last fen; years when we have
had a shortage of rain. The little
downpour of the past few days brings
vividly to my mind my first year's ex
perience in Oregon. I was at that
time a circuit rider in the Methodist
church. South" and a member of the
Pacific conferenco and was sent as a
missionary from California to take
charge of the Eugene City circuit with
a young man, a local preacher by the
name of John Smith as a helper. I
reached my field of labor in October,
after a long, tedious ride on horseback
of some six hundred miles, and when
I arrived at Eugene found Mr. Smith
already at work in the field, and ar
ranged to make my headquarters with
a family by the name of McCord, altho
1 soon- found that I had but little time
to devote at -any one particular place
for I found that the men who preceded
me had laid out a circuit embracing
about one hundred nnd fifty miles,
counting the zlgzngs, with thirty-two
regular appointments to be filled each
month beside the pastoral visiting.
But by the time I had gone over the
field a few times I made several
changes In the list of appointments
and cut .them down from thirty-two to
sixteen, and by this time Mr. Smith
decided that he could not live on the
meager income that we were receiv
ing, for the man who laid out the work
told the people that the gospel was
free, just like the salvation he preach
ed and by going from house to house
we got our board and lodging and the
sisters did bur washing free, but what
I started In to tell about the rain was
my experience in on Oregon storm.
It so happened that I was in Eugene
the night of the beginning of the first
flood in the latter part of December,
1861, and about 11 o'clock p. m. the
night watchman called Mr. McCord to
get up as the water was covering the
town so we got up and he waded and I
climbed along on the fence to the barn
and .found the horses standing in
water about knee deep. Mr. McCord
harnessed his team and I saddled my
horse and started out to relieve those
who needed-help, I carrying a lantern
and going ahead of the team so as to
have them miss the driftwood, moving
the families into the courthouse as a
house o. refuge, keeping that up until
daylight and then I started to go to the
Matlock schoolhouse where I had an
appointment to preach at 11 o'clock,
but when I reached the schoolhouse
found no one there and going to a
nearby house Inquired why there was
no one out to church and learned that
everybody had gone to the river to
rescue the people in the river bottom
lands, so changing my plans, for I had
another appointment for the afternoon
and also for night, for In those days it
was customary for a man to preach
three times on Sunday. I see that I
have omitted to tell my experience In
getting out of Eugene to the Matlock
schoolhouse. Before I got fairly out of
Eugene I had to swim two sloughs,
but It bo happened that my horse
proved to be -a gqod swimmer and he
took mo through alright; I had sup
plIpR myself with a rubber stilt so that
I kept dry and when I had to swim I
took my saddlebags on my shoulders
ana got up Into the saddle on my knees
and got along alright without getting
wet. During that flood it was a com
mon thing to see houses going down
the stream with chickens on the roof,
and one house went by with a dog on
the roof, and It was a very common
thing to sen cattle and occasionally a
horse floating down. It was one of
the most distressing scenoi I have
ever witenssed. .
Leaving the Matlock settlement the
next day I wended my way through the
foothills preaching In the schoolhouses
in the foothills for the bottom lands
were swept almost clean and the next
Saturday found mo down near whore
Junction City now stands.

with which they responded at this
period! All the boys spoke well, but
