The capital stock of the First National
Bank of Ashland has l>ecn increased
from $25,000 to $50,000 owing to a won
derful increase in the business of the
lamk during the year. Surely Ashland
is growing at a wonderful rate.
Tlie regular session of the town Ixiard
was held last week and the usual routine
business transacted. Action in the Con­
dor Power & Water Co's petition for the
privilege of setting ¡»des, ami stringing
electric wires in the city limits was
deferred.
An effort is lieing made in Ashland, by
the amendment of the city charter, to rid
the town of “blind pigs" and thus make
of it a really dry town, which, from the
literature that was circulated through*
out the county alxMit election time re
garding conditions there, we sup|a>se<l it
to have been for many many years.
Timlx-r wolves havetieen coming down

that measured almost six feet from tip to

the depredations of these hungry brutes
and in localities they are becoming quite
numerous.
Jno. Marsh is now at work fitting up
the Masonic building just vacated by Mr.
Conklin, for Mr. Furness who is going
to put in a fine line of gents furnishings.
There will lie a new show window or

fitted up and improved to comply with
the needs of the new occupant.
C. B. Hansen, who has been one of the
right hand men at the Greenqack mine
for some time, ami who is said to lie one
of the liest mining men in Southern
Oregon, arrived here last week with his
wife ami little boy, and has accepted a
position nt the Opp mine where he will
look after the concentrators and cyanide
plant for the new company.
We learn that the Condor Water
& Power Co., have bought the big
Rogue River falls up the river, of Mr.
Salstrom, for $10,500. Good for Ray,
he ileserves much credit for hi« enter­
prise. While the rest are doing so much
talking, Dr. Ray is sawing wood and
spending his money. Give credit where
it is due and push.—Gold Hill News.
The Salstrom right includes what is
known as Rogue River Falls, which is a
mad cataract of Rogue River, in which
the stream makes a drop of 250 feet in
700. It also includes Mill Falls, the
falls of Mill Creek over Rogue River
Canyon, the water having a sheer drop
of 1W1 feet.
Just what Mr. Ray will do with the
power right thus derived is not yet
known, but the fact of his already
having expended some $200,000 in the
Condor enterprise at Gold Ray indicates
that he has faith in the ultimate value
of water power in Southern Oregon. At
present the Salstrom right is somewhat
removed from the better settled jxirtions
of Southern Oregon, but it is located
directly on the main traveled road over
the Cascades to Crater Lake Park and
the Klamath country, and would be
likewise directly on the most feasible
route for an electric line, in the event of
such an enterprise coming to |>ass, which
it undoubtedly will within the next few
years with the development of the
country, and the increase of travel to
Crater Lake Park, and Klamath.
