Damage Case to be
Tried Next Week

In the spring OF 1913 the people of
the Rogue River Valley were startled
by the unearthing of a horrible crime,
that of the murder OF Nathan Rogo-
way, whose body was found on the
Green Springs Mountain road south
of Ashland.
The confessions of Fred Parker,
alias Seymour, in the state peniten-
tiary, have let in some light on the
murder. He admitted that he had
decoyed Rogoway, an Albany hide
buyer, to a lonely spot and killed
him. Parker was hanged last winter
with Mike Spanos for the murder of
George Desdaskalous in Medford, Sep
tember %, 1912.
At the time of the finding of the
body there were many suspects arrest
ed, among them being L. H! Wheeler
OF Marshfield, by Sheriff Wilbur
Jones. He was held for day and
then released.
He started suit against Jones 10
the amount OF $4,000 dollars for
damage to character. The case has
been pending for a long time and
next week it will be tried in the cir
cult court. B. F. Mulkey will appear
for ex-Sheriff Jones.

DR.. w. w. Watkins
Endorses Springs

DR.. w. w. Watkins of Tacoma has
beer looking over Ashland for the
past week and has decided to locate
here. He will open an office in
rooms over Whited's jewelry store.
Dr.. Watkins is locating here on ac-
count of the springs prospect. He
says Ashland certainly has the class
of medicinal waters that will attract
widespread attention fro mthe medi-
cal fraternity. He says physicians
are beginning to realize as never be-
fore the value of rest and mineral
waters in the treatment OF human
ills. He feels sure that such scenic
beauty as Ashland enjoys, with her
splendid summer climate coupled
with the best medicinal waters the
world produces, is bound to make her
one of the big resorts of the country
if the project is carried out on a com
prehensipe and intelligent plan.

Eminent Experts Will
Tell Springs Possibilities

R. A. Minkler and Bert R. Greer
returned from San Francisco Thurs
day. Their trip was signally success
full. They now feel that the springs
matter is in splendid shape. The net
results of their trip are:
That Smith, Emery & Company
have agreed to make definite propo-
sition to the city to pipe the mineral
waters to the city park with bonded
guarantee that the water will be de-
livered under their plan with all its
medicinal constituents and gases as
good as at the spring.
The Southern Pacific engineering
department will finish checking the
preliminary estimates OF Smith,
Emery & Company by the first of
next week.
The Ashland Power and Electric
Company have agreed to donate the
tract OF land upon which the old cleo
trio power house stood for park pur-
poses, and furnish power for the
springs plant free.
Mr.. John McLaren, the father of
Golden Gate Park and landscaper for
the Panama exp s'tion, will arrive in
Ashland next Saturday morning to
advise with the park board as to the
best methods to imprbye our park
for a watering resort. Mr.. McLaren
comes at the instance of Mr. Sproule
and will arrive on Saturday morning
on special car accompanied by E. o.
Mccormick, first assistant to Presi-
dent Sproule and traffic manager for
the S. p. who will say what the
Southern Pacific Company thinks of
our future possibilities, from pas
senger standpoint.
There will be a mass meeting held,
and is hereby called, at the Chautau-
qua building next Saturday night
June 6, at which time Mr.. Smith of
the Smith & Emery Company will
make a definite proposition in writ
ing to the city of Ashland to take all
the responsibility and install the min
eral springs plant with an absolute
bonded guarantee to deliver the wa
ters in our park as good as at tbs
springs.
It was hoped to have this meeting
sooner, but Mr. McLaren, the land
scaper, was unable to leave his duties
at the exposition grounds at an ear.

rive in Ashland Saturday morning
and remain over Sunday. Saturday
will be filled examining the park so
that Mr.. McLaren can talk to the peo-.
pie about the best methods to apply
in the park development
This will be the most important
meeting ever held in Ashland 1t is
the purpose of the committee to bive
every voter in the city an opportunity
to come and hear for themselves what
the Southern Pacific people think of
our enterprise. To hear definite
proposition coming directly from
Smith, Emery & Company what they
propose to guarantee, what kind of
bond they propose to furnish and
exactly how much the installation of
the physical plant will cost, before
the vote is taken on the bonds. Then
the people will be able to cast an in
telligent ballot either for or against
the proposition.
Some criticism has been offered on
the street against the committee;
charging that they have not furnished
definite information to the people.
They have given all the definite in
formation they have had. Nothing
has been hidden or will be hidden in
the transaction.
When these gentlemen have made
their statements and propositions to
the people at the mass meeting the
people will know as much about the
matter as the committee knows, and
it will come first handed from them
to the people
