Name Suggested
For New Drives

Henry Easterly has suggested new
names for Roper's Bunion and the
two new drives that are proposed.
The name for Roper's Bunion is
Lookout Point" The proposed
drive on the east he would call East
Canyon View," while the one on the
west would be West Canyon View. 1"
We think both the names suggested
are very appropriate, and Mr.. Easter
ly is certainly entitled to suggest
names for the drives. He has always
been great enthusiast on these
mountainside drives and has contrib
uted a 900-foot strip along Grand
view Drive. He was one of those to
originate the plans for Grandview
and is very enthusiastic over its pos
sibilities for scenery and pleasure for
sightseers.

Install Meters
And Cut Expense

According to Superintendent But.
terrified, the city is now furnishing
$500 worth of electricity each month
that 1t Is receiving no pay for. That
means that coo consumers are becom-
ing careless and are letting their
lights burn more than necessary, or
that they are using unnecessary
Juice" from the city's system.
There is a remedy for all this that
will be beneficial to all parties con-
cerned. Install meters. Meters will
enable you to keep down the electric
light expense to the smallest possible
amount. II you are careful about the
use of the lights and do not leave
them all burning at once, the meter
will save you considerable light ex-
pense, for 1t registers no more than
is consumed.
These meters are being installed by
the city at no expense except for ex-
ira wiring for electric stoves and heat
ers. Get meter and see If you cant
cut down the expense and enable the
city to increase the number of con-
sumers to this extent.

Vista Point and
Prospect Hill

To the Editor: / notice that in
answer to your request for names of
prominent objects about the city 1.-The
Watchman" for "Roper's Bunion"
and "The Sentinel" for the eminence
west of town are suggested. do
not like these names; l do not like
the suggestion of walking, climbing,
tramping or driving" over a Watch
man or Sentinel If | were either
| wouldn't stand for it, to be walked
over" etc. A very undignified and
disrespectful way of treating a guard
ian. People will be invited to the
SUBMITS of these eminences for the
splendid views they afford. From
each of them practically the whole
valley is in view, bordered on every
side by magnificent mountains.
From the "Bunion," looking up the
canyon, splendid view of Mt Ash
land, snow-clad and majestic, is had,
and the avenue formed by mountains
towering on either side forms vista
terminating in Mt. Ashland, the great
benefactor and water conservator for
the city. Vista Point" it seems to
me, would be eminently proper:
THE finished garden to the view
Its vistas opens, and its alleys green -
The driveway to it to be called
Vista Drive"
The eminence to the west sprinkled
over with beautiful homes has from
its summit a wonderful prospect up
and down the valley. From Pilot
Rock at the southeast to Table Rock
in the northwest the vision stretches.
All the city is at it's foot and its sides
and top, garlanded with gardens and
orchards; Old Grizzly and the cliffs
just across the valley and a vision of
beauty to the soul turned for it. 1t
is not sentinel" A sentinel might
be stationed there for the prospect it
affords, if there should be occasion
for SO warlike a suggestion, but the
eminence suggests peace, not war;
love, not hatred; beauty in confident
assurance that it will be adored, not
violated. Hence the weary stranger
stands and
His eye discovers, unaware,
The goodly prospect of some foreign
land"
Why not call this Prospect HiH"Y
Him God beholding from his pros
pect high
Let us gives names that have some
meaning consistent with the environ
ment and the use we put them to?

tral Point is already being used and
fiving satisfactory service.
1t is believed that continued crit
icism of the work being done by the
county has been largely responsible
for the change in the plans of the
county court. They have decided to
try the contract system instead of the
day labor system, not because they
are dissatisfied with the day labor
plan so much as their desire to give
the people chance to compare the
two systems.
From unofficial investigations the
Central Point road, including surface
and foundation, has cost the county
about $1.5O per square yard. The
city pavement, similar construction,
has cost from SO to 81 a square yard.

Man Of Silence
Dead in Forest

Henry Wright, aged rs years, the
strangest and most picturesque figure
of the Blue Ledge district, known as
the "mna of silence of the Siskiyous, -
was found dead in the forest near his
cabin home on Elliott creek, Monday
morning, by Bard Moses, a prospect
or. Deputy Coroner John Perl left
this morning for Hutton, Cal, to
bring the body to this city.
Death is supposed to have occurred
two weeks ago, as he has been miss
ing that period. Frank Edwards,
who has a gold claim on Silver Fork,
has been looking for him, as he had
been absent from his cabin. The last
person to see Wright alive was F. w.
Carnahan, manager of the Blue
Ledge mine, who met him on the
trail. Wright told him his eyesight
was falling, and when he struck off
into the heart of the wilds Carnahan
says he had premonition that he
would never see him alive again.
The cabin of Wright was about
twelve miles from Hutton, CAL,
where he voted, and eight miles from
the Pennsylvania mine on Elliott
creek, in the very heart of the Siski-
you wilderness. No one ever entered
his cabin, unless at night, and then
under close scrutiny. BY day he
greeted all visitors from his cabin
door. Edwards and Carnahan are
supposed to be the only men who
ever entered his home They we're
his only friends.
Wright came to the Blue Ledge
district thirty years ago, and every
day his life was shrouded in mys-
terry. He led an isolated life and
never talked of his past, except to
say that he was from the south and
had fought with the confederacy. The
prospectors Of the district maintained

Hit to Celebrate
Fourth of July

Hit, just across the line in Cali
fornia, will put on big celebration
on the Fourth. The Ashland band
has been engaged for the musical
feature and twenty-four hours of
continuous fun is promised.
The celebration is being given for
the benefit of the employees of the
Fruit Growers Supply Company. The
company has furnished the material
and ground for a big amusement hall
for the employees. This has been
built by the men and the proceeds
from the celebration on the Fourth
will be used to equip the hall for
reading room and general assembly
purposes. 1o., a.

This is but one of several punches

Ashland-Talent Highway Contract
To Be Let to Best Bidder

To give the people of Jackson
county an opportunity to compare
the road work of the county with that
of a professional contractor, State
Highway Engineer Bowlby and the
county court have decided to let that
portion of the Pacific Highway be-
tween Talent and Ashland to the best
bidder.
Bids will be called for the second
week in July. Representatives of
the Clark-Henery Company and the
Warren Construction Company have
already arrived in Medford and are
going over the road and the specifi-
cations.
No certain kind of hard surface
will be insisted upon. Asphalt, war
renite, bithulithic or concrete may
be decided upon, the final decision
depending upon the price, but it is
not at all probable that concrete will
be tried as that is the sort of road
the county is now building and an
example of some other type is de-
sired. This strip of road will be COM
pleted before the winter rains set in.
Meanwhile work is progressing sat
isfactorily on the Medford-Central
Point road and the date for compile
ton is set for July 10. The new por-
tion of the road will have to settle
for thirty days before it can be used,
but that part of the road near Cen

that he led the life of a hermit to
atone for deep disappointment.
Rumor says that he possessed consid-
cradle property and the thirty years
collection of gold in that district, and
one of the tasks ahead will be the
locating of relatives. A search of the
cabin will be made for a will, If one
was left, and for the gold he is sup
posed to have boarded.
Wright was fairly we'll educated
man, we'll liked, but reticent and of
sorrowful mein. For years he was
subscriber to the New York World,
and once every three or four months
he came to Hutton for groceries and
his papers. Frank Edwards the last
year has insistently urged that he go
to Watkins, Ore, and spend the win
ter with Edwards people, but Wright
always refused.
The body must be carried on a
stretcher twelve miles down a rough
mountain trail, Burial will be post
poned pending the location of rela-
tives.
The death of Wright recalls the
end of a prospetor-hermit named
Peters, five or six years ago in that
section. Peters lived a lonely life in
cabin on the middle fork Of the
Applegate. One morning he left on
hunting trip, and was never seen
again, dead or alive.

Southern Oregon
Exhibit Planned

Friday, at Grants Pass, represent
atives from Jackson, Josephine,
Douglas and Klamath counties met
with George NJ. Hyland, director of
exploitation of the Oregon Panama
Pacific commission, with a view OF
getting these southern Oregon coun-
ties to make composite exhibit for
display in the Oregon building at the
exposition at San Francisco. An or
ganization was perfected and the va
rious county courts will be asked to
ratify such movement at their next
meeting, which will be held in each
county on the first day of July.
Jackson county is the only one OF
the southern Oregon counties to
make financial provisions for the dis
play. Representatives of the other
counties stated that they believed
their counties would make ample ap-
preparations for suitable display OF
their products.
The organization formed was
named the Southern Oregon P. P,
I. E. Association and has as its presi-
dent H. o. Frohbach of Jackson
county; vice-presidents, Sam S. Jo-
sephson of Douglas county and Louis
Wylde of Klamath county, and secre-
tary, w. p. Quinlan of Josephine
county. 1t was suggested that each
county take care of their own
finances through their county courts
and that combined effort should be
made to get financial assistance from
the Oregon commission.
On the promise that southern Ore
gon was to make an exceptionally
fine display, choice space to the right
and opposite the main entrance from
the south was assigned to these coun-
ties in the Oregon building. The
space contains $50 square feet, being
sixty feet long by six feet wide, and
this will give all products displayed
exceptionally good opportunity to be
viewed closely.
Oregon has 1000 square feet as
signed to her in the horticultural
building, $500 square feet in the
agricultural building and 900 square
feet in the food products building.
Space for the Oregon state exhibit is
provided in the educational building
and space is to be provided in the
mining building according to the size
of the exhibit to be made.
One of the main features in the
exploitation of the scenery and re-
sources of Oregon will be the moving
pictures. A theatre with a seating
capacit yof $50 is under the roof of
the Oregon building.
Should the various county courts
ratify the action taken, meeting of
the association will be called, prob
ably at Ashland during Chautauqua,
for the purpose of going into detail
as to the exhibit proper. 1t was the
general opinion of the delegates pres
ent at Grants Pass that each county
should specialize on exhibiting the
products which their particular coun-
ty is especially adapted for.
Jackson county will no doubt spec
ialize on pears and apples. The Ash
land district has an exceptional OPP
portunity for the exploitation of her
peaches, and with the assistance of
the orchardists every known variety
of these products could be displayed.
1t must not be understood that Jack
son county will not display other
products, but the main feature of the
Jackson county display will be that
for which she is especially noted for.
