What is the Matter?

What is the matter? That is the
question that every autoist and team
ster that drives over Green Spring
asks. What is the matter? Anyone
who goes over the road can readily
see that there is a lot that is the
matter. and the idea one gains of the
road is not at all humorous, especial
ly when one sees the great hunks that
are torn out of tires. 1t is pity
that such a road exists as a blight on
southern Oregon and Jackson county.
Klamath county has, however, agreed
to put in a road to the county line
just as soon as Jackson county makes
move. The road IS one that is
travelled a great deal, and one that
is located so that it should be put in
shape for the countless numbers OF
autos that pass over the route. There
would be more interchange of busi-
ness and people between the valley
and klamath Falls il this were fixed
up. Another thing would be thai
many of the Crater Lake visitors
would prefer to come this way bu
are baked on account of this horrible
nightmare of a road. 1t is rocky
steep and unfit to take a car or wag
on over. Yet comparatively small
amount would build and put it II
shape. Can't we talk this thing up
1t would mean a lot to the valley ant
Ashland. This improvement can b,
made If we but show ourselves suf
ficiently interested.

Census An All
Railway Crossings

Grants Pass Courier: The South
ern Pacific is taking a census of all
the pedestrians and vehicles that pass
over the Sixth street crossing in this
city in the course of forty-eight
hours. A man is stationed at the
crossing who keeps tally of every
passing person, and of each automo-
bile, motorcycle, bicycle or horse
drawn vehicle. Special note is taken
of whether or not the pedestrian
looks both ways, one way or not at
all to see If a train Is approaching
from either direction; note is also
made of whether or not the auto
driver stops, and whether he looks
one or both ways for approaching
trains. The census is made to deter
mine the responsibility of the public
and of the railroad company in acci-
dents that occur at crossings, and to
determine whether or not the public
observes the Stop look and listen"
injunction. The count will continue
till Tuesday night, when the results
of the investigation will be given out
Like investigation is being conducted
at Medford, where railway conditions
are much as they are in Grants Pass,
the Southern Pacific cutting the city
through the center. q.
The count taken at Medford Mon
day showed that 2160 people crossed
the tracks and one out of every
twelve looked to see If a train was
coming. Automobiles crossed the
tracks 900 times during the day and
very small per cent of their drivers
looked for trains-some even cross
ing in the face of moving trains
Teams crossed So times and motor
cycles ninety times. The railroad is
taking similar census in all cities
in the state where there is crossing
in the business district to determine
what per cent stop and look and lis

this. This was also brought with full
reality to mind by similar encouter
with friend of long standing, who
was looking for a job at which to
spend his summer months and earn
some money. He asked, "Know
where l can hook job?" "Yes, Jack
Smith is looking for someone to help
in the hay fields on his ranch. He
will give $3.50 day and board" He
looked at me and made the remark
that he wouldn't work at that scale
of wages" / thought to myself that
If he wouldn't work at that scale of
wages he would be idle long time.
1t is serious fault which is grow
ing on the rising generation, looking
for something big at first. Anyone
who takes what he can get, when he
gets the chance, will rise to the top.
Even if the wage is so cents, or moth
ing, if the worker does his best with
whatever he undertakes there is al
ways a place that will open for him.
Don't be afraid that somebody is
not going to pay you enough, but
pitch in, with your best efforts, in
the first task that comes within your
grasp. Then someone will see that
you are earnest and sincere in your
desire to make success, you will be
picked up, and new fields of work
will spread out before you and you
will result in success. There is a
job for everyone.

= Some Good Suggestions.

In the controversy going on over
the remaining of Ashland's points of
interest l would suggest that "Rop-
er's Bunion" be called Ashland
Heights" Every city that is the
proud possessor of hill always calls
it the heights" and in the era of
prosperity upon which Ashland is
about to enter the 'Bunion" will very
soon be all terraced and covered with
beautiful homes and will become one
of the beauty spots of the city.
THE Watchman" suggests some
thing grim and forbidding, while
Vista Point" sounds rather indefi-
mite, while Ashland Heights" sounds
to me the most appropriate name
The long, high ridge of peaks at the
west of the creek might be given diff
ferent names for the different peaks.
Laurel Peak" would be a welcome
and appropriate name for one.
The city end of the Boulevard is
literally Magnolia Drive" and the
path above the park, along the mill
race, is an ideal Lovers Walk"
There is steep path leading ur
from the creek and park that from
its rough and rocky nature l would
meekly suggest might perhaps appro
priately be called Marriage Lane.
Then farther on is place where the
yellow poppies bloom so thick; how
would that do for Poppy Lane?
AT any rate let us have an "Ash
land Heights" Laurel HILL" "Vist'
Peak" Magnolia Drive" Lovers
Walk" and Marriage Lane"
Now let us hear quickly from tn,
next. and when all suggestions ar,
in perhaps we can sift them down anC
select some names that will suit tn,
greatest number and begin callin,
them so at once.

short racemes of large, brilliant or
ange-colored flowers another is
beautiful gilia (Gilia aggregata)
with flowers bright scarlet flecked
with yellow, and another is wlld
flax (Linum lewisii) with delicate
sky-blue flowers an inch in diameter.
On the south slope of the ridge
there is a hollow where a spring
emerges, forming considerable bog,
and in this are many plants of great
interest to the botanist. From the
top of the ridge one can easily distin-
guish the great green hellibore (Ver-
atrum viride), with its tall stem and
broad dark leaves, but it is not yet In
bloom. 1t is well worth the extra
climb to explore this bog, for here is
wealth of species not growing on
the ridge, and few of them at lower
attitudes. Among them are violets,
buttercups, shootingstars, saXifrages,
and many more. But we must hasten
to the summit, for of course one of
the main objects of our trip is to
gaze from that high eminence over
one of the most majestic and impress
sive views that the state of Oregon
affords. But let others describe this;
we can only wish that everyone who
visits Ashland could see it for him
self. Let us mention but one more
flower. 1t grows in clefts of the
rocks almost within reach of our
hand as we sit down to rest on the
topmost pinnacle. 1t is little shrub
by pentstemon (Pentstemon men
ziesiD, with very small leaves and
relatively large purple flowers.
In an account so brief as this we
cannot half do justice to the endless
variety and beauty of the flora of
Mt. Ashland, but it is hoped that
these short descriptions of few of
the most characteristic plants may
enable those who are interested and
are not practical botanists to identify
them, and thus enhance the pleasure
of the most delightful one days out
ing to be had anywhere in Southern
Oregon.

Fishing For Shark
Is Great Sport

Extracts from a very interesting
who went from Ashland with Miss
Francis Hamlin to teach at st. An
drews Priory in Honolulu-are print
ed below:

fore that it is so hard to give exami-
nations. Francis is already in bed,
and l would be too, only | am on

of this sort is the study hour. Mon

is in charge.
Next Sunday we are going out
shark fishing. A Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson, young lady friend of

boat. There are about twenty more
in the party whom we don't know. l

very much excited about it.
"They go in large launch. For
bait they take a dead horse, tie it on
rope about hundred feet long and
drag it along in the back. When the
sharks get to biting they begin to pull
in the rope. When it is close enough
they harpoon the sharks.
'Mr. Thompson tries to tease me

There Is a Job for Everybody.

There is job for everybody,
everywhere, and at any time! Some
would disCredit that statement, but
1t is true. At this time of year this
article is especially fitting, as in the
summer months many schoolboys are
idle and looking for job. II seems
queer how many boys have a hard
time in finding work. The other day
while walking down the street, the
real reason suddenly burst in mind.
II happened this way: A young man,
well known, stepped up and asked
where he could get Job.
why, yes. A. l.. Young phoned
yesterday and wanted to know II any
fellows wanted a job haying at $3.50
per and board"
The reply was like this: ooh, II
that was yesterday he would probably
have gotten all the men he needed
before now" Disgusting. because the
fellow had not tried hard enough tC
get job. Down In his being he die
not want to work. 1t was plair
enough that the haying job was still
open to anyone who applied, but NJ
one is going to waste time persuad
ing him II he only took the troubl,
he could get the fob. He was to-
lazy to try. Anyone who conscien
tiously looks for work can get It.

Auto Trins to Crescent civ.

Auto Trips to Crescent City.
The time of the year is now at
hand when the heat of the day sug-
gests, to one at work in the city, the
cool haunts of the woods and the long
stretches of cool beaches at the coast.
The trip we will tell about in this
issue gives the camper taste of both
sea and mountains-a taste that re-
mains for a long time.
How few of us realize how near to
us is the coast-about so miles in an
air line, but about 14O by way of
the road. To go to the coast from
here on camping trip seems to most
people an almost impossible and un-
desirable trip. But it isn't. The
trip to Crescent City by auto or wagon
is one of the finest outings that could
be imagined. 1t is an easy trip, but
one that will bring you in contact
with all the beauties and grandeur of
nature. The roads are in fine condi-
tion at this time of the year and an
auto can make the trip easy in one
day.
The trip is one that will be long
remembered, especially If one has not
been in the mountains to a great ex-
tent. The road leading there is a
splendid specimen of construction and
engineering, winding up the noun
tain sides so that one can look down
hundreds Of feet and see their road
below. Here you follow along some
of the best trout streams in the state,
such as Smith river. Toward the lat
ter part of the trip you come into
the giant California redwoods, and
the sight of the wondrous trees and
forests is alone worth the trip to one
who at all appreciates nature.
Through the boggy forest the tourist
must go over a corduroy road, which,
though bumpy. enhances the trip. At
Crescent CITY there are fine bathing
beaches and good camping places, but
If one likes to fish they must go else
where, because there are very few
fish caught off of the rocks. The
only way one can fish there is to get
boat and go out on the ocean, but
these can be had for a very low
figure.
Then after one gets to Crescent
City there is one of the finest little
side trips in the world. Get in your
auto or wagon and drive down to
Requa, at the mouth of the Klamath
river, and have look at the big sal
mon canneries located there. Fish
there while. Enjoy the scenery.
Rest.
At any point along the coast one
can get milk and cream, because it
is an immense dairy country. All!
but big bowl Of creamy milk tastes
good after hard drive and when the
night camp is made. Take plenty to
eat and plenty to sleep upon, and you
will have one Of the finest trips of
your life. The writer has been over
the ground, both with team and an
auto, and knows what he is talking
about
There are lots of people who have
never been camping. and it is safe to
say that they have missed one of the
greatest enjoyments of their life. The
theatre isn't in it. 1t is much more
pleasant to lie under the stars and
listen to the night calls of the birds
and the sounds of the ocean and for
est. The trip to Crescent City is only
one of a number of trips around the
valley, but it is a good one. Go by
way of Grants Pass. There is only
one road and only one way to go
from here.
