Quick Growing CataIpa Chosen
Because of Heavy and Or
namentaI Foliage.

For the first time in years. Atlanta
really is observing Arcor day and be
fore shutdown the school children will
have dotted every section of the city
with quick growing wo-year-old ca
taIpa trees, about 10000 in all.
While Arbor day always has been
celebrated more or less in Atlanta
acknowledgements in a way to teach
children the necessity of trees ana
green things in cities-there had been
but little tree planting, and that has
been confined exclusively to school
property, save where the grownups en-
tered into the spirit of the day.
Pharmacy Furnishes Trees.
But this year, through the agency OF
Jacobs Pharmacy this Arbor day will
mean something to future Atlanta, and
upon the success Of this years expert
ment depends perhaps a large amount
of the city's future beauty.
Arbor day is observed generally in
big cities and it is typically a city hol-
iday. although in the older country sec
tions, where timber is scarce and the
necessity of shade trees is realized, ii
has become popular.
j. Sterling Morton, former secretary
of agriculture and father of Paul Nor
ton. a Roosevelt cabinet member, es-
tablished Arbor day. The elder Nor
ton was a tree enthusiast and took for
his motto: Plant Trees"
With this slogan, he converted the
rolling prairies of his country estate
near Nebraska City, Nebr., into one of
the choicest bits of woodland in Amer

AGAINST COUNTY BANK
j. w. Mccoy Gives Reasons Why Pro-
posed Taxpayers Bank Is Not
Feasible if Legal.

Editor Tidings: l have received a
number OF inquiries in reference to
the merit of the proposed "Taxpay-
ers' National Bank of Jackson Coun-
ty," Nos. 376 and 377 on the ballot
to- be voted November 5.
l cannot think that the average
voter is Incapable of seeing the i'm
possibility of the scheme, even if it
proved feasible from a legal stand
point, when he thinks of the effect
on our country and it's standard of
values, should all the counties. even
in Oregon, take advantage of such a
law.
Section 3 of the act of May 80,
1908, referring to national banks Sc
curing currency on bonds other than
U. S. bonds, says that any national
banking association which has circu-
lating notes outstanding, secured by
the deposit of United States bonds to
an amount of not less than 40 per
centum OF its capital stock, and
which has surplus of not less than
20 per centum, may make application
to the comptroller of the currency for
authority to issue additional circu-
lating notes to be secured by the de-
posit of bonds other than United
States bonds" The application is
then transmitted to the secretary of
the treasury" who shall, if in his
judgment business conditions in the
locality demand additional circula-
ton, approve the same" etc.
Section 8 of the same act says in
part National banking associa-
tions having circulating notes Sc
cured otherwise than by bonds of the
United States shall pay for the first
month tax at the rate of per
centum per annum upon the average
amount of such notes"
1t is perhaps needless to add that
any attempt to make an exchange of
county for United States bonds for
the purpose of avoiding the above
10 per centum tax would result in the
payment of premium for the u S.
bonds which would be equivalent to,
if not in excess of, a reasonable in
terest on our county bonds.

Ashland to the Fore!
(By Henry G. Gilmore.) }

y
Santa Barbara, Cal, the winter
home of some of the leisurely 400"
of these realms, leaves not a stone
unturned to proclaim her greatness
as an asylum from the intense cold
and withering storms of the east,
middle west and northwest A time
ly reminder has reached me from
this southern scene of winter festivi-
ties that she is 'sun-kissed, " ocean
washed" 'mountain-girded" and
''island-guarded," with the further
commendation that she also enjoys
the most delightful climate on
earth"
Now without a disparaging word
of any sort, let us, as a privileged
community, throw away all native
modesty and declare to the world
that Ashland is very much 1T" when
we come to consider the many home
like features it has to offer the set
tier bent upon securing a location
where, 365 days in the year, life is
really worth the living"
This much can be said, and most
truthful said, of Beautiful and
unique Ashland:
l.. She has to offer a superb as
sortment of pure air from heaven
and pure water from Mt. Ashland
2. She is unsurpassed for capti-
waiting scenery from mountain tops
and undulating side hills.
3. She possesses mineral springs
containing healing qualities pro-
nouncedly her own.
4. She produces fruits-especially
peaches, apples and pears-that
make her a prize winner wherever
and whenever she exhibits her prod
ucts to the world at large, and
5. She is home town where the
simple and inexpensive life may be
happily and restfully spent.
Santa Barbara may be kissed,
washed, girded and guarded to her
hearts content and may be able to
furnish these consoling gifts at the
shortest notice, but, come what may,
Ashland is always strictly in it"
when we consider the possession of
qualities that mean so much in the
happenings of everyday life.
