Chautauqua Has
Unusual Attendance

This seasons Chautauqua has had
the best attended programs for many
years. The outside attendance is by
by far greater than has been known
since 1910.
The reason for the increased at
tendance is the prominence Ashland
has come into through the springs
development. Railroad men all down
the line as far as San Francisco say
that Ashland, the town with the
lithia water" is becoming very much
talked of by travellers and tourists.
The springs have already begun to
have some affect even though moth
ing has been done toward the actual
work of bringing them into the city.
1t is astonishing how many peoplo
visit the springs in cars every day.
Another reason for the increased
attendance is the diligent way in
which the chautauqua management
has advertised the occasion this year.
They have given it unusual publicity
and shown the value Of printers ink.

Central Point Paving
Open August 9

F. A. Kittredge, highway engineer,
announces the Medford-Central Point
section Of the Pacific Highway will
be open for travel August 8. This
seeming delay is due to the fact that
the cement must be allowed to set
well before using.
Considerable trouble is being had
at the present time because of the
thoughtlessness of people who disre-
gard road closed" signs and drive
on the new pavement when 1t is not
sufficiently set. This will sooner or
later make it crack and crumble in
those places. The county has made
vigorous regulations and penalties
against trespassers on the road.
Watchmen are employed at the pres
ent time to watch the highway, but 1t
is impossible to guard every section.
John A. Perl and George Hilton, who
removed barricades and tore off a
bridge, will be arrested, and County
Attorney Kelly asserts that all viola
tions will be vigorously prosecuted.
Engineer Kittredge has issued the
following public statement
1--WE wish to call the attention of
the taxpayers in general to the fact
that there are a few Of their number
who seem to disregard the county's
good and our efforts to rlay a good
pavement. These people are damag-
ing the pavement by driving onto the
concrete before it gets, set. They
have disregarded road closed signs
and removed barricades in order to
get onto the new pavement"

Sunday Services
Heard BY Many

Sundays Chautauqua services were
the finest held since the organization
was founded in Ashland. In the
morning the Simpson College Glee
Club furnished the music, and DR..
Parsons of Eugene, Ore, delivered
the sermon-one which reached in
most being OF all who listened. The
building was filled to overflowing,
the aisles being filled with board
seats. Many country people attend
ed, driving in their wagons and
autos, and taking dinner in the park.
In the afternoon the Estelle-Gray
Company gave a sacred concert to an
admiring audience.
In the evening at 8 o'clock the
crowning service OF all took place.
The Simpson Glee Club had charge
of the music, and the evening was
taken up with concert work. Beau
tiful anthems were sung by the club,
and the people were more than
pleased The Simpson Glee Club
certainly is fine advertisement for
the college they represent. -

Ben Sheldon
Aroused Interest

One never can tell in what va
riety of ways good cause may exert
powerful influence for the better
thing. AS the outgrowth OF the
Chautauqua round table discussions
OF live, present day subjects a move
ment of immense importance to Ash
land will probably develop. Several
of our citizens have long had in mind
an effort to bring Ashland in line
with the other more progressive
cities in the country regarding a mod
ern, scientific charter. The new
charter movement has spread over
the country like wildfire. Over $50
cities have adopted charters embody-
ing radical and most important modi-
fications over the old, wornout sys-
tenn of checks and balances borrowed
from our federal plan and never at
any time adaptable to a city.
This undercurrent of desire seems
to have been brought to the surface
by the interesting talk on The New
American City" at the round table
last week, by Ben G. Sheldon, secre-
tary of the Medford charter commits
sion. He has given much time for
year past to the study OF this new
movement in municipal reform and
is largely responsible for the excel
lent charter just drafted and about
to be submitted to the people OF our
sister city.
Mr.. Sheldon was asked to give an
other talk at the Chautauqua along
the same lines and his address this
afternoon on "The City Beautiful. !"
dealing with the more esthetic side
OF the reform movement, resulted.

D0larhide Toll
Road Is Private

L. D. Dollarhide, owner of the toll
road over the Siskiyou mountains,
was in the city Friday. He took Sam
Hill and others to task for criticising
the charges for passing vehicles over
his private road, and denied that Mr.
Hill paid 81 as toll, but instead in
sisted that he gave a receipt to State
Highway Engineer Kittredge and be-
lieves the same was intended to be a
county charge.
Mr.. Dollarhide says the tolls from
the road the past summer amounted
to about 5000 This is the greatest
amount received in one year since
the road was built more than thirty
years ago. The annual receipts sell
dom exceed $500 to $400, while the
labor expended in keeping the road
in condition, even so it can be pass
able, to say nothing of keeping up
the road adjoining his place on land
not owned by him, is much over this
sum.
Mr.. Dollarhide says he meets many
very pleasant people, but others are
continual knockers. He makes
charges according to horsepower for
autos and says not single machine
has ever appeared at the gate which
the owner would acknowledge to be
over thirty horsepower, the minimum.
He says the auto used by Sam Hill is
rated in the papers as a ninety-horse-
power machine, but when 1t came to
paying toll it decreased to less than
thirty.
Mr.. Dollarhide says he is knocked
and called all kinds of disagreeable
names for keeping up the road across
his private property and then insist
ing on payment from the public for
his labor. On the other hand he in
sists that he has property interest
Investment of labor and land which
the kickers do not take into consid-
Grafton. He insists there are two
sides to the question, and to listen to
his recital perhaps he is not entirely
wrong, although the day for tolls has
long since passed.

All parades will start promptly at
Z o'clock and all entrants should keep
this in mind.
One night there will be dancing on
the paved street, probably in the
block near the Vining Theatre. The
time has not yet been decided upon
definitely.
Special rates will prevail on the
railroads as far South as Weed.
Informal receptions to the queen
and her maids will be given each
eveling on the Midway.
The ladies of the club are devoting
much time and faithfully working to
make this event a success and it
promises to be everything they desire
as viewed at this time.

Ashland
Contract Awarded

The Clark & Henery Construction
Company, who paved most of the
streets of Medford, were Thursday,
by unanimous vote of the county
court, awarded the contract for paw
ing a five-mile section of the Pacific
Highway extending north from Ash
land towards Phoenix, says the Mail
Tribune. There was but one other
bidder, the Warren Construction
Company, and on but one variety of
pavement can the bids be compared
that for asphaltic concrete wearing
surface placed on present old mac
adam foundation, where the Clark
Henery bid was "a cents, as against
$1.02 for the Warren Construction
Company.
The Clark -Henery bids were upon
a basis of four-inch base, with one
and one-half inch asphaltic concrete
wearing surface, or for three and one
half, three or two and one-half inch
base with one and one-half or two
inch surface, while the Warren bids
were for Warrenite, or for four-inch
base and two-inch surface.
Acting upon the advice of En-
gineer William Gerig, the court de-
diced to lay as much of the two-inch
asphaltic concrete on the present
macadam foundation at "a cents as
possible, and where light foundation
was necessary. to use two and half
inches of asphaltic concrete founda-
tion, covered with one and one-half
inches asphaltic concrete wearing
surface; where heavier foundation
was needed, to use the three and one
half inches of asphaltic concrete
foundation with two inches asphaltic
concrete wearing surface at $1.29.
A reduction of l " cents per yard
was made from these prices on re-
duction of the macadamized "shoul-
ders" on each side of the paved strip
from eight feet to four feet, giving a
total width of road "a feet, corre-
spending to the Central Point sec
tion.
A rough estimate places the
amounts used at 2A miles at 92h
cents, Q miles at $1.13M, and 1.6
miles at $1.271s, making a total of
approximately $4,000.
