New Mountain
Drive Proposed

Citizens can we'll be enthusiastic
over the future of Ashland. We are
just beginning to wake up to the fact
that we have in and around our city
more natural advantages than any
other city in the United States, or
maybe the world. We have springs,
beautiful scenery, mountains, good
roads, and everything else you might
mention Some, however, have to be
developed. Our town is beautiful
with trees, flowers and green lawns
When the springs are developed and
people begin to come into the city,
Ashlanders will begin to take a pride
in their city and commence to spruce
up. Everybody will then take pride
in having perfect lawns and well-kept
yards-the weed-grown lots will be-
come a thing of the past.
A new undeveloped resource of
Ashland has recently been discovered
by progressive citizens-the building
of a fine drive around the crest of
Roper's Bunion. This drive is sur
veyed along the line of the old cleo
trio light plants power line, starting
up Ashland creek and following al
most to the crest of the Bunion. The
road will start at the First National
Bank, go up the hill to East Fork
street, then to Park street, back to
West Fork street, which is surveyed
to run along the old ditch line. At
torney Moore is now at work getting
the property owners along the road
line to deed over their half of the
road, and all of them are willing-in
fact, it was suggested by them to the
city council. This drive will give a
fine view, and it will be much appre-
ciated by visitors. 1t will be through
the trees, and be fine for autos as the
grade will be practically level after
autos once get up to it.
Fork street as yet has not been
opened up or graded. Some of the
promoters have though out the idea
of having a citizens day, on which
occasion all the citizens of Ashland
will turn out and contribute their la
Dor to the cause. Some have already
offered their teams and labor for the
work. If about 500 to 500 men could
get on the road line at once they
could make quite a showing in the
work of getting the road started. The
ladies could serve dinner in the park
and it could be a general all-round
community day. All the stores would
be asked to close, SO their proprietors
could lame themselves up a bit.
This event, according to City En-
gineer Walker, could not take place
very well for some time, as numerous
matters will have to be attended to.
What will Ashland find next?

Herman Mattern
Talks on Springs

Herman Mattern Is much interested
in the outcome of the mineral springs
project. He has visited most of the
great watering resorts of the world.
He has lived in Ashland for 81 years,
not because he had his business inter-
ests here, but because he knew of no |
finer place in America for home life. |
He says of the great European re-
sorts, Carlsbad, Bad Nauheim and
Bad Neienar have waters similar to
ours, but the climatic conditions, fer
tility of soil, conditions for home life,
pastoral beauty, and scenic beauty of
their surroundings and settings can
not in any way be compared to Ash
land. Most of these places have no
other charm but their medicinal wa
ters. The topography of the environ
ment is such that there is little room
for town building at the springs, yet
thousands of tourists a season visit
them and leave millions of dollars.
Ashland, with her splendid environ
ment, and the whole valley as we'll
will be increased greatly in popula-
tion by those drawn here primarily by
our mineral waters, but, charmed by
our natural environment, will become
permanent citizens. This will not all
occur in a day, but the population
should be increased from year to
year. 1t is the combination of our
mineral waters with the other charms
of this section that will attract per-
manent population. From time to
time Mr.. Mattern has entertained
visitors here from Europe and from
all parts of the United States, and
in every instance they have grown
enthusiastic over Ashland's splendid
scenic and climatic situation. 1t is
these as we'll as our waters that in
sure the success of the springs prof.
ect
The season at Carlsbad, Manitou
Springs and Glenwood Springs in Col
orado is short, yet at Glenwood
Springs, for instance, the railroad has
invested more than million dollars
in a tourist hotel and beautifying the
grounds to accommodate tourists for
but three months in the year.
These resorts, on account of their
shorter seasons, do not afford nearly
the opportunity for revenue that
Ashland does, for our summer season
is easy six months long, besides our
winter season is already looked upon
with such favor that six thousand
, people are delighted to live here the
, year through.
t Should Ashland get one thousand
: tourists, coming and going, and they
Y should average but $3.50 each, some
r staying a day or two, others a month
, or two, it would mean to Ashland
1 $500 per day, SIS, 900 per month, o
t 100000 per year. Is that estimate
e too high? Is that worth going after
! as purely business proposition? TIL,
. citizens of Ashland will answer to
d morrow in no uncertain way.
