(By WIGHTMAN F. MELToN1


Our great President has wisely adj
vised all citizens of the United States
to be neutral in speech and, so far as
possible, in thought concerning the
horrible conflict that is now being
waged across the seas. 1t happens,
however, that the big end of the news
that we get passes through the hands
of the English censor. The result is
that American people are becomming
preiudiced against the German cause
before they have opportunity to know
the other side of the matter.
1t has been accerted that the war is
due to the ambition of Kaiser Wilhelm
to have his name linked in history with
the names of Caesar and Napoleon. If
this were true, is it likely that he
would have attacked practically the
whole of Europe?
The story that the war was begun
by the Crown Prince, in the absence of
his father, is ridiculous. No father
ever had his sons under better or more
complete control than has the Kaiser.
Whether he is at home, or away from
home his stalwart sons are as obed-
lent as little children.
1t is not likely that the war came as
a result of the military party, compos-
ed largely of Prussian officers, for they
have not been popular at home and
have been made sport of abroad.
That Germany has been preparing
for war, none will deny. The best cit
liens of the empire saw that it was
sure to come and they decided that it
would be better to be prepared.
The German Empire, occupying a
territory no larger than the state of
Texas, has been in existence less than
forty-fve years. Already the popula-
ton is sixty millions and is increasing
at the rapid rate of a million year.
Standing room only" is incompatible
with human life and progress.
Some of the millions of Germany
have earned their living by agricultur-
al pursuits, Notwithstanding the short
seasons, unfavorable climate, and
much poor land. German scientists
have carefully studied all their agri-
cultural problems, and the farmers and
stock-raisers have been industrious.
With all their marvellous achievements,
as scientific farmers, the population of
Germany cannot get living out of the
soil of Germany.
The commerce and manufacture OF
Germany has excited the wonder of the
world, and certainly the envy of Eng
land. In her manufactures Germany
has not cheated anybody. MADE in
Germany" had been a synonym for ex-
cellence in quality and cheapness in
price.
The cause Of the present war is econ
omic. 1t is but natural that Germany,
nation whose life depends largely
upon manufacture and commerce,
should want, not only some place
where the overflow of her population
can breathe free air, but colonies from
which she could secure raw materials
and to which she could send finished
products.

wagon The ride down was very en-
joyable to all except Miss Wagner,
who suffered with a bad headache.
However, she soon lost this affliction
with the humping on the little stones
of the Pacific Highway. Everyone
was so solicitous for her welfare that
she was totally recovered when the
destination was reached On arriving
at the beautiful bungalow, the Frame
residence, west of Talent, they found
regular paradise awaiting them.
For short while the kids" amused
themselves with teeter-tauter. ham
mocks and other childish contrap-
tions. 1t was during this period of
the evening that Leila turned a flip
Flop from the teeter board, the acci-
dent being caused by the recklessness
of Bud Burdic. Carpenter and Maple
would have nothing to do with the
rest but persisted in sneaking to the
hammock and conversing among
themselves.
Soon, however, came plates of eats
piles and piles of eats. Teh feed"
consisted OF chicken salad, preserves,
sandwiches and olives, with second
course OF brick ice cream. coffee and
all sorts of cakes. We would not
venture to say how many dishes of
the various articles Proc got away
with, but we can say thta he wore out
good deal of shoe leather walking
for second helpings. Bud Burdic be-
came an olive tree with the quantity
of the fruit he absorbed.
After lunch musicale was held in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Frame. Kenneth

in singing around the piano, and a
more enjoyable evening could not be

Road to Skirt
Mountain Side

Ashland visitors will some day be
able to mount by auto or rig to the
crest of the beautiful hill, known by
the disgraceful name of Roper's
Bunion, and skirt the heights thence
along the ridge to the lower intake
and cross the canyon and meander
back along the hillside at about the
height of the old Anderson mining
ditch over scenic drive that the
world can't beat.
AT the council meeting Tuesday
night City Surveyor Walker reported
that he had everything ready for City
Attorney Moore to make out deeds
for right of way to that portion of
the road to be known as Glen View
Drive-for which the property own
ers adjoining have petitioned 1t ex-
tends along the crest on the east side
of the canyon-following the city's
highline water pipes and running
over city land most of the distance.
The matter of extending the road
on across the canyon and along the
old Anderson ditch to the Billings
place north of Ashland was brought
up by Councilman Ashcraft, who
states that it can be done at little
expense as the city already owns most
of the right of way. On his motion
the city engineer and street commit
tee are instructed to map out a road
on the west side of the canyon ac-
cordingly.
The road will connect with the
Pope, Bailey, Pellet road and it is
conceded that the drive as whole
would be one OF the most beautiful
in the west. City Engineer Walker
states also that his office now has
everything. in readiness for the city
attorney to make the trade with Mr..
Gibson which is necessary for the
proper opening up OF Alder street
between the park and Granite street.

the land lies inside the city limits

Fred and Harold Entertain,

The seniors were the guests of
Fred Garrett and Harold Merrill on
Monday evening of this week. The
event was a mulligatawny feed up the
canyon. At about o'clock the class
met at Buffers and then proceeded
up the canyon to the place picked out
by the entertainers. There they
found a great kettle of mulligataWny
soup steaming hot, awaiting their
eager appetites. All. how good it
smelled. But, 10! upon sampling it
suddenly turned the opinions of the
partakers. While Sleepy and Ding
are conceded to be good cooks, never
theless on this particular occasion
their skill deserted them. A peculiar
blackness pervaded the soup, and
there were regions of salt and regions
where there was non. However, by
holding ones nose it could be eaten
and digested very nicely. Indeed,

she consumed.
At an early hour all returned to

farther up the lonely paths of the un-
explored city canyon.

Wednesday night. The event was to
be miniature carnival, but on ac-
count of the rain it was impossible
to get everything taken down and up.

some of the special features of the
evening were a toboggan slide, ham,
