Mexico to Portland This being true,
it behooves us to see to it that this
highway is kept up to as high grade
as possible until it reaches our city.
The longer this highway is in plain
sight of Ashland, just that much
more benefit will we derive from it.
Having come from a state where
the cities and towns make special
ty of just such roads and drives as
this, at their own expense we have
learned to appreciate the value of
location for road like this one. In
Colorado they look upon drives and
roads like this one as an asset, not
"a necessity. If our people could but
see some of the roads in Colorado
which have been built at a great ex-
pense and are called beautiful, they
then would appreciate what this drive
would mean to us if we take advan-
tage of the natural condition with
which we are blessed.
Certainly our people do not want
to lose to the tourist travel that
beautiful panoramic picture of the
city built on it's seven hills, with
valley below, that will spread out
before them the minute they leave
the canyon near Ayers; and, too,
what an impression one will get af
ter two days of desert and hills, to
fall down into an oasis like this from
the summit of the Siskiyous down
through the green canyon, the alfal-
ia fields, the orchards and, finally,
past that splendid monument of civ
school-which is a drawing card for
ilization and progress-the Normal
school-which is drawing card for
any city, and then down the Boule-
ward to the only home city on the
highway.
Impression! That is what we want
to form-an everlasting impression
on the minds of the men and women
who come down that drive.
This is a matter our city and
chamber of commerce should take up
with the county Judge and commits
sioners at once, if they have not al
ready done so, as it will be everlast-
ingly too late after the road is sur
veyed and graded. Do not put off
until tomorrow what you should do
today. Respectfully,
A. II. DAVIS.

A Greater Attraction.

Can you direct me to SUBMITS
Cascade?" asked a foot traveller of
an old man who sat summing himself
on the stump of a tree.
"Yaas; tafle your first left and fol-
low it till you come to a fork where
there's a clump o. huckleberry bush
es, an then strike off to the right.
Follow that road till you come to
three corners, then strike off to your
left and you'll come to Cy Perkins
house. You'll know him, because he
wears plaid overalls. Yaller and
green plaid, they are, an his wife
makes 'em for him. Some like 'em
an some don't. Anyhow, you can
judge for yourself. You'll laugh"
Excuse me-" said the traveller,
taking out his watch, but haven't
much time. Will Mr.. Perkins direct
me to the cascade?"
II presume to say he can, but af-
ter you've seen those plaid overalls
a little mess O. water runnin' over
a little mess O. rocks will seem pretty
tame to ye," the old fellow chuckled.
-Everybody's.

Hold Assessment Void.

In decision rendered recently in
the circuit court in the case of w. e.
Phipps vs.. City of Medford, Judge
Calkins declared null and void the
ordinance assessing the cost of a
trunk sewer in District / against the
property alleged to be benefited.
In the findings it is stated that the
sewer had been constructed and paid
for by the city prior to levyng the
assessment, that the sewer had in
fact been in use some Is months be-
fore the assessment was levied; that
no notice of any kind had been given
to property owners that the property
was not adjacent to nor was it bene-
fitted by the sewer; that the property
owing to the topography, cannot ever
be drained by the sewer in question

Administrator to
Present New Bill

Washington.-The bill drawn by
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois,
providing for government ownership
of telephones, did not meet with the
entire approval of the Wilson admin
istration.
This much was made certain when
house leaders admitted they contem-
plated introducing at this session
bill providing government ownership
of telephone and telegraph lines,
framed at the direction of Postmaster
General Burleson
Following an examination of Lew
is proposed measure by Burleson and
his assistants, it was announced that
the formers bill would be withheld
and an administration measure sub
stituted and introduced, providing it
meets with the approval of demo-
cratic caucus. 1t was expected that
Representative Moon, chairman of
the house postoffice committee,
would introduce the bill.
1t was considered certain that
President Wilson favors government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines, but is undecided regarding the
swidom of taking them over at this
time.
Burleson has advised the president
that his department had a consider
able surplus on hand and that the
proposed one-cent postage plan could
be put into operation at any time
now. Burleson thinks, however, that
simultaneous with the postal reduc-
tion the government should initiate
plan for taking over the telephone
and telegraph lines.
First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Roper said that committee had
been investigating a plan for six
months to take over the two public
utilities and that it was expected to
report soon.
I'VE felt" he said, that English
decisions holding that a telegram is
letter, and that the telephone, to
all intents and purposes, is the same
as the telegraph, will sustain the ad-
ministration in it's move toward gov
ernment ownership"

The Pacific Highway.

The Pacific Highway is a good and
grand thing for this valley. 1t puts
Ashland on the map as the gateway
city to the state of Oregon. A good
thing is beneficial, if you take adj
vantage of the full benefits it brings
you. If one of our fancy stock rails
ers takes fine animal to a stock
show he spares no pains nor expense
in showing that animal off to the
best advantage.
Now that the Pacific Highway is a
reality, why not take advantage of
the best results it will afford us.
AS ! am informed, the proposed route
into Ashland comes down Bear creek
to point near town before it comes
onto the upper bottom. If this is
true the surrounding country to the
south and east of Ashland will be lost
to the view of the tourist until he
gets into the heart of the city. This
is, in our opinion, a great mistake
1t must be remembered that ones
first impression is the best and most
lasting. A tourist coming down this
route into Ashland will get the same
view and impression that one gets
travelling on a railrC ad-the rear end,
back end and ground of places which
usually present dilapidated condi-
ton. These impressions stay with
one, regardless of what they see af-
terwards. Over this route the tour
lists will not get even a glimpse of
Ashland's pride-the Boulevard and
the Normal school-and the beauti-
full plateau to the south and east of
Ashland, for distance of five miles.
BY all means this road should go
out the Boulevard past the Normal
school, and keep on grade to a
point for a crossing of the Southern
Pacific railroad near Ayers. This
route, as we are informed, is about
two miles shorter, and will be much
cheaper for construction and main
tenance, and there is every argument
in favor of this route over the Bear
creek route. 1t is conceded that the
landscape view coming north from
the summit of the Siskiyous down
this valley is the most magnificent
that is to be seen on the entire line
of the Southern Pacific system from

Poor Blood
is Responsible

for much sickness and suffer-
ing because its quality deter
mines our rcsistive power.
With poor blood we are Ian
guild, susceptible to colds, lack
natural energy and ambition,
and the gradual d c cline of
strength makes prompt and
careful treatment necessary.
Drugs or alcohol cannot make
blood and must be avoided.
SCoTT's EMULSION is natures
grandest blood-maker because
of its wholesome medical nourishment,
so carefully predigested that it assimi-
lates without taxing digestion and
quickly increases the red corpuscles
of the blood, strengthens the organs
and tissues and upbuilds the whole
system.
Absolutely nothing compares with
SCoTr'S EMULSION to purify and en-
liCh the blood to overcome or avoid
anaemia. 1t is totally free from al

mands the purity of ScorT'S,

DON'T KNOW THEY

Many Ashland people have chronic
appendicitis (Which is not very pain

stomach trouble. Some have doc
tored for years for gas on the stom-
ach, sour stomach or constipation,
and T. X. Bolton, druggist, states if
they will try simple buckthorn bark,

Adler-i-ka, the German appendicitis

d COLEMAN TENANTS
ORDERED FROM GEORGIA
Receive Letters Threatening
Severe Treatment

Cordele, April 17-Though excite
ment over the killing of young Leon
Melvin at Rochelle, ten days ago had
practically subsidized within the past
several days, it was again reused yes
terday when the fact that four white
farmers living on w. A Coleman 5
farm received threatening letters in
which it was asserted that they must
be out of the state in forty-eight
hours, or they would be severely dealt
with.
The names of the farmers to whom
the letters were addressed were
Adams, Atkinson, Forehand and Ridge
way. They were typewriter and mail
ed on a Seaboard train though there
was no date on the letters nor was
there any signature or other clew lead
ing to the identity of the writer or the
place from which they were mailed.
AS a result these farmers are afraid
to leave their homes and their FAINT
lies are much excited over their safe
ty One of them, who has very sick
child, could not be induced by frieaI
to go to Rochelle for a physician.
1t is understood that the better ele-
ment of Rochelle and Wilcox county
are strongly opposed to the lawless-
ness that has taken place in connec,
ton with the Colemand affair, feeling
that it has gone far enough Though il
is the general opinion that the killing
of young Melvin was a dastardly
crime, any manifestations of lawless-
ness of a certain element to take the
law into their own hands is heartily
by the better element.
