Normal School Booster Meeting
At Amory Tuesday Evening

Have you been tagged and routed
for shipment TO the great Normal
School reopeninS campaign at the
Armory Tuesday evening, February
"a? The ladies have perfected arm
les operating in the field--one on the
east side and one on the west--for
the purpose of rousing out the people,
The mass meeting will be free.
There will be no soliciting of funds
or collection. The 10 cents for each
tag will pay the expenses of the meet
ing.
As the crowd arrives aeroplanes
will show the number from each side
and each faction" will be seated on
its own side of the house. Arrange
, ments have been made with the po-
lice to arrest no one making a noise,
but anything is liable to happen to
the fellow that comes into the great
Armory with a funeral procession
gait in his legs or a requiem tone in
his voice. There will be noise. The
Normal School colors will be in evil
dence on the stage and through the
hall, and everybody is expected to
color up with purple and yellow.
Normal School pennants will be con-
spicuous and class pennants are es-
pecially desirable. The grand en-
trance of the students will be a func-
ton that will lay the Durbar at Delhi
in the shade.

Speed Ordinance
Before Council

The city fathers Tuesday evening
had under consideration a speed and
vehicle ordinance which received it's
first reading and which will without
doubt become, with some possible
changes and additions, a law at the
next regular session of the council
The proposed ordinance is lengthy
and is based on the Portland ordi-
nance, being similar to those in other
cities. With the coming of the auto
mobile some more definite rules of
the road" are necessary than was the
case with the horse-driven vehicles
only. The ordinance provides the
rules of driving, meeting, passing and
leaving vehicles and of procedure on
corners. Especial attention is paid
to the "gooseneck" between the Plaza
and Water street and the proposed
regulations will make that place
much safer.

"Dreamland" was, OH Monday even
ing last. the theatre of an entertain
ment given by Mrs. Franklyn Con-
way, under the auspices of the We'd
nesday Club, which organization very
largely lives and has its being
through the fostering influence of the
Presby terian church of this city. Mrs
Conway was happy in having for her
associates Miss Mary Elizabeth Young
and Mrs. J. K. Robertson, panists;
Mr., Horace Reno, violinist, and Mrs.
Wilmer Policy, character imperson-
ator of by no means uncertain cali
bre. The menu musicale comprised a
goodly number of the best there is
in music for the delectation of an
audience large, discriminating and
charged with desire to be in good
humor with itself and surroundings
at once artistic and forerunner, let
us hope, OF better and more aspir-
ing musical future for Ashland. A
unique feature of this entertainment
was the two ladies' OF the Presby-
terian church in the persons Of Mrs
Il. Il. Bagley and Mrs. &. b. Lamkln
setting themselves in battle array In
securing the highways and byways of
our city In search of those innocent
lambs who are never so happy as
when being shorn of their superflu-
Gus locks in the interest of good
cause. Both sides worked valiantly,
with the result, however, that the
one with the fewer conquests should
pay the piper at banquet gathering
of the noble army of martyrs soon to
be- convened. Beyond the cheering
fact that Mrs. o. J. Stone (the in
defatlgable president of the club and
the contributing performers gladly
volunteered their services for so good
cause, Messrs. Hicks and Angle
rented their theatre for the occasion
Mt "ridiculously low figure" for
which generous act they deserve and
have received nothing but thanks.
En- passant, II may be stated that
from the acoustical standpoint
Dreamland is veritahle paradise, of
which the Armory buildlng-ifit It had
any sort of vitality--might we'll take
notice, and vendors of up-to-date cre-
atlons might profit by this piece OF
encouraging information.

NE WLITHIA SPRING MAY PROVE
BEST IN WORLD.
THREE DEVELOPMENTS MADE
u is Now Known that Five Distinct
Mineral Waters Are Available for
Piping to City Park and Other
Places as Needed.

The committee having the mineral
springs development in charge to date
have finished development on three
distinct springs and in each case hav3
found plenty of water for the pur-
pose and of the finest quality. light
soda, heavy soda and lithia. They
also have contracts on ;he hot sui
phur and white sulphur, All have az
iron spring available if they want It.
The New Lithia.
Last Saturday afternoon, on the
]. j. Murphy place, about a quarter
of mile this side of the Gillette
lithia spring, a fine flow of pure
lithia water was struck. The spring
is flowing between twenty and thirty
gallons minute, is highly cartcn-
ated and heavily charged with lithia.
1t is estimated that il will analyze
out at least four times as strong in
lithia as the old Silver-Gillette spring.
Besides, it is entirely free from the
very Objectionable features OF the
old lithia spring in that il has none
of the red muck, strong l!kali and
vegetable matter apparent in that.
The water comes out of the solid rock
as clear as crystal anf so heavily
charged with lithia that a white de-
post a quarter of an inch ;hick OF
pure lithia salts is in tho crevices OF
the rocks through which it runs.
This find was an extremely FORUM
ate one as all attempts at successful
negotiations for the SiIver-Gillette
springs were abandoned Saturday
night, before the committee having
the negotiations in charge had heard
of the rich strike.
The committee believe this will
prove the strongest lithia spring in
