Ashland Lots Bought.
Columbus, Ohio, June 2, 191

Columbus, Ohio, June 2, 1914.
Editor Tidings: Charles H. Bar
tow has sold two 50-foot lots on
Woolen street or Scenic Drive to Rev.
Paul Johnson and wife of Columbus,
Ohio These lots are numbered Z
and s of the plat recently filed of
the old Barlow place, corner Woolen
and Manzanita streets, and the price
realized for the two lots was $1,250.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson spent part of
two summers in Ashland and fell in
love with this section, and were much
impressed with the climate, scenery
and other natural advantages. While
here Mr.. Johnson often admired the
view from these lots, which are at the
highest point of the Scenic Drive and
cannot be obstructed, and expressed
a wish that when his evangelistic
work was finished he might have a
bungalow there and make it his per-
manent home.
Mr.. Barlow has some California
parties who are figuring on purchas-
ing two more of these lots.

protein, like alfalfa, contain more
sulphur than crops with a low pro-
tein content, like wheat and corn.
Some sulphur is present in all soils
and some sulphur is present in all
rain water. DR.. Hopkins states in
this connection that long-continued
Investigations at Hothamstead, Eng
land (oldest agricultural experiment
station in the world), and elsewhere
show that an average. rainfall brings
to the soil about seven pounds of sui
phur per acre per annum, or one
pound more than would be required
for 100-bushel crop of corn. And,
further, that in addition to the sui
phur in the soil and that brought to
the soil by rain there is an unknown
amount of sulphur absorbed by the
soil directly from the atmosphere. On
this subject the Ohio Experiment Sta
tion states: For cereal crops the
supply of sulphur in the soil, together
with that added by the rain, is amply
sufficient, but for heavy yields of
leguminous plants, like alfalfa, re-
course to other supplies would seem
necessary. When superphosphate is
used as a carrier of phosphorus it
also supplies sulphur. One hundred
pounds of IA per cent superphosphate
contains l pounds of sulphur"
The fact that the soils of the Rogue
River Valley, like most of the soils
of the Pacific coast region, are in
clined to be low in phosphorus, par
ticularly when long cropped in grain,
indicates that perhaps the most rapid
method of restoring and increasing
fertility would be the growing of le-
guminous crops, for their nitrogen
gathering ability, and the addition of
phosphorus and sulphur in some read
lily available form, like superphos-
phate. 1t is particularly worth not
ing that in buying superphosphate
the farmer pays only for the phos-
phorus therein and receives free the
sulphur and lime, which superphos-
phate also contains, as stated in Pro.
fessor Reimer's article.

Mount Ashland
Resort Feature

Few of the people of Ashland really
know the wonderful scenic beauties
that we of Ashland have within our
midst. Ashland is to be a big water
ing resort. AS such it will bring a
large number of people who will come
only to look at and enjoy what they
can.
Anyone who has taken the trip up
to Mount Ashland can vouch for its
beauty and scenic qualities. Within
a half days walk one can be on the
snow line of a beautiful mountain,
from which one can gain a view over
the surrounding country that cannot
be surpassed. AS one who has been
in practically every nook and corner
of southern Oregon, the writer can
truthfully say that Ashland creek
canyon beats anything in this section
of the country for it's shady retreats
and cool haunts, that are built espec-
tally to shelter a picnic party from
the hot sun of summer, or to furnish
a quiet place for business man s
Sunday rest.
The usual class of people who
spend their time at watering resorts
are people that are enthusiastic
mountain climbers, hunters, lovers of
scenery, etc. We have all these re-
quirements within fifteen miles of the
city limits. But we must do our part.
From Longs cabin the state has con-
structed several miles of fine road
which extends to the ridge. This
road is a fine wide road that is grad
ed to an easy slope. 1t would be an
ideal highway for autos.
Below Longs cabin to Ashland
there is seven miles of miserable,
rutty, rocky road that cars cannot ne
gotiate safely. This means that in
order to get to the good road built
by the state, the wagons or cars must
Chamber over the mud holes, rocks
and narrow ways. This fast absolute
ly renders the state road useless.
What we must do is to see that the
road up the canyon be fixed properly
for autos and buggies. This will
make Mount Ashland accessible to the
large number of people that are eager
to climb its slopes.
Ashlan is just waking up to real
ization of the wonderful advantages
she possesses. Let's boost.

When the people can be made TO
understand that 1t actually costs more
in time and money to travel over a
poor road than it does to travel over
a good one, they will be less inclined
to begrudge the expense of good
roads; and what is more important
still, will be willing and anxious to
put the business of road making into
the hands of intelligent men who un-
derstand the business. Poor roads
are the expensive things that curse a
country district.

Every man is part of this town.
The town embraces the fortunes, and
in some measure at least takes on
the character of the man. So loyalty
to ones town is no more than loyalty
to ones self; and this loyalty is in
the line of all well-shaped human
nature. Therefore it is right to say
that the man who does not stand up
for his town is in some way dwarfed.
