She and her household were de-

State DlunkaHdS'
Home Needed

Il would like to establish a drunk
ards home if the state remains wet
at the coming election" says Cover
nor West. Our state institutions
are filled with old drunks. Look at
the police court records and you will
see the same old offenders coming
up time after time for sentence. All
this costs money, accomplishes moth
ing and is assinine. Personally, /
have no need of a drunkards' home.
If it stays wet we should see that a
drunkards' home is established, sup
ported entirely by the liquor traffic.
Our state, through legislation, has
adopted policy which proclaims to
the world that each industry should
take care of it's own killed and
manned. The owner of the sawmill,
the brickyard, the powder factory,
all contribute a stated amount in or
der that the families of those killed
or injured while in their employ
should be properly taken care Of.
Can you tell me any good reason why
this provision of the law should not
be extended to the liquor business
If it is legitimate business those
engaged in it should be proud to
maintain a home which would be a
monument to their handiwork. Here
all old battle-scarred or bottle-scarred
veterans could spend their last days
recounting their fights with John
Barleycorn. They would not fee
that they were supported by the
bounty of the state, for they would
realize that the industry that made
them helpless and hopeless wrecks
was supporting them and paying the
bills"

New Route
To Ship Fruit

The service this season for green
fruit from the Rogue river district
to eastern markets via the Southern
Pacific Company, via Roseville, CAL,
and Ogden, Utah, has proved the su-
periority of that route over movement
via Portland.
One of the many prominent fea-
lures in favor of the Ogden route is
that the lay-over at Roseville approxi-
mates three hours, as compared with
about eighteen hours lay-over at
Portland.
The running time of seven days and
fifteen hours to Chicago and ten days
and six hours to New YorIS, or approx
imately eight and eleven days through
service respectively, was consistently
made and in several cases beaten.
The service via the Ogden route
represents practically continuous
movement from the point of origin to
the eastern market, which is some
thing that the fruit industry has long
desired and which the Southern Pa
cific has given at the frs, opportun-
ity.

What Shall We Tell Him?

The following letter from a man
on the Atlantic coast comes to Mr..
Greer. 1t is confidential-not meant
for ublication-therefore we do not
give the name or address. We are
at loss to know just how to answer
him. We ask suggestions from our
citizens. There will be thousands of
others just like this in the next year
and we want to begin thinking of how
we are going to handle them. Are
we going to advise them to come and
let them take their chances and pos
sibly become discontented and dis
couraged, as so many have in the
past? Are we going to change con-
ditions so that the place will be at
tractive and satisfactory for these
kind of newcomers, or are We going
to try and secure altogether another
class? These are problems that do
and will confront us and they must
be settled right.
The letter follows:
'Mr. Bert Greer, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir: You have been recon-
mended to me by Mr.. W. p. Woehl-
ber, of the Sunset Magazine Service

able information concerning Ashland.

New Proprietor
Ashland Hotel
PAGE EIGHT

The Ashland Hotel ran for a brief
while under other proprietorship than
Ed Staples this week, The manager
was biped, had feathers and talked
necessarily. The new proprietorship
endured for but brief spell on one
of the bright, sunshiny mornings of
this week. T. W. Hill found the
mistress and was the one that gave
her sudden dismissal. He had come
down bright and early in the morning
and was using the broom quite freely
to dispell the dust particles that of
necessity accumulate during the day.
On going around back of the hotel
counter he was greeted with pleas
ant "squawk, squawk." He couldn't
see the lady at first, but finally saw
her hidden away under a chair, a
most preposterous place for lady to
be in, though she was frightened half
to death. He made one frantic grab
for her, but she was too quick for
him, with the result that Mr.. Hill
strewed himself horizontally along
the floor. Upon rising and taking
bearings again he saw her perched
upon a chair back, another undigni-
fled place for a properly brought up
woman. By caution and stealth our
hero sneaked up carefully behind the
chair and grabbed both her legs. She

her dangerous position. She wa
