ers, following the suggestion of a re-
cent mass meeting held in the Chau-
tauqua building.
Messrs. Minkler and Greer were
present at the council meeting and
asked that this part of the resolution
be changed, as they are not desirous
of continuing the work unless a free
and full expression OF confidence is
given at the polls.
Mr.. Greer expressed himself as not
being candidate for the honor, as
the work thus far has occupied his
time and been a matter of great ex-
pense, and others may be found to
do the work as satisfactorily to the
public, now that the details have been
worked out.
Councilmen Cunningham, Beaver
and Cornelius, supported by Messrs.
Bressler, Enders and Davis, were of
the opinion that q commission of five
should be provided for. Councilmen
Ware, Ashcraft and Werth, support
ed by Messrs. Greer and Minkler, BE-
lieved a smaller commission could ac-
complish the ends desired more eco
nomically and satisfactorily than a
larger body. When the motion was
put to increase the rumber 20 five
it was lost, three to three, it not be-
ing necessary for Mayor Johnson to
decide the parliamentary question.
Councilman Ware explained that
in drawing the ordinance an effort
had been made TO follow explicitly
the expression OF the mass meeting,
and therefore the names of Messrs.
Minkler, Dodge and Greer trd been
inserted without their being con-
suited.

OF the present taX-paying population?
No watering place in America has
the natural settings, climate, prod
ucts, and quantity, quality and variety
of water that we have right here. yet
those places have grown big, rich and
renowned where their natural re-
sources in this line have been devel-
oped. Why should Ashland, peer of
the best of them, be an exception?
Thousands of people visit the others
annually. The Southern Pacific COM
pany say they will furnish us the
people at their own expense for ad-
vertising, etc. Does that amount to
nothing? Suppose only 1000 people
should come here for their summer
outing. These people have money
and spend it. Suppose they should
spend here the paltry sum of $3.50
each per day-$2,5OO, $500 per
month, 1915, 900 for the five outing
months, more than double the pro-
posed bond issue. How would that
affect Mr.. Taxpayer? Remember,
this is only for 1000 visitors, but
when we look at other resorts less
en,tiing we find the visitors run up
into the many thousands. Wouldn't
this be an awful thing for the tax
payer?
Then, again, we find several of the
knockers who are complaining that
they have empty houses, and because
they can't rent them they propose to
keep things as they are. They must
like it. Perhaps they are afraid
they'll have to take notices out of
their windows, Rooms to rent"
House to rent" Perhaps the town
and community wealth would be
trebled or quadrupled. 1t has hap
pened elsewhere. How would that
affect the taxpayer? What would it
do for the farmers in the way of MAX
ing market for their products? BY
what kind of reasoning do our eXcit-
able friends get the suggestion that
this would raise taxes? The fact of
it is, that we have at last struck upon
a magnificent plan to increase COM
munity wealth and reduce taxes by
developing our natural resources,
The people who will come will pay
our taxes, crowd us off the curbstone
and make us forget the ills of pow
erty by giving us something else to
do and think about.

Where Mineral Water
Is Successfully Piped

White Rock lithia water is the
strongest in lithia properties in the
country. The year of the worlds fair
in Chicago the WauResha company
piped that water into Chicago. 1t
has been delivered to Chicago every
day since through the same pipe,
without in any way changing the
mineral constituents of the water.
Waukesha, Wis, is 10 miles from
Chicago.
Some of the local advocates of re-
sorts at the springs say that our min
eral waters cannot be piped four to
six miles without losing their medici-
nal value. They have another guess
coming. What has been successfully
done can be done again. The aver
age citizen may not know just how
il is done, and probably would not
understand how, even though the de-
tails be told him. The writer's in
yestigation has convinced him that
the piping of mineral waters is not a
common waterworks proposition. 1t
is a chemical engineers job. The
springs committee has employed
chemical engineers OF high reputation
and large experience in handling min
eral waters. 1t is following the ad-
vice of these engineers 1t feels 1t is
on the right track. We are confi-
dent the Ashland mineral waters can
be successfully piped into our park
II is an easy matter for persons
opposed to proposition to say 1t can
not be successfully accomplished. To
dig into the facts and form an intelil-
gent conclusion from what Others
have done is another thing.

High JinkS To Be
Held at Helman'S

On account OF the heavy rains
which have fallen over Saturday and
Sunday, Evans creek, the place where
the high jinks sports were to be held,
is a swollen torrent and will be unfit
for the aquatic sports that were
planned. The park, belonging to Mr..
Z. E. Bagley, which was intended to
be used for the barbecue, is now all
mud and wet.
II has been decided to make the
change to Helman's baths and park,
weather permitting, for the above
reasons. The rink has been procured
for the day and it will cost the boys
absolutely nothing. All those that
have their suits and towels can swim
free of charge, and others can get
towels and suits for cents each.
This will probably bring a larger
crowd than could have attended at
Rogue river and the boys that in
tended to go there can bank the dol
lar and a quarter carfare.
The day will begin at 10 o'clock
A big barbecue will be held at noon
of turkey, mutton, beef, etc. This is
to be stag day.
The level field back of Helman's
has been procured for the baseball
game and it will be lively one.
The program is as follows Base
ball game la suffragette, Boys Club
VS.. Elks. Prize for best comedian,
Water polo with splash variations,
Catching creased pig. Climbing
creased pole. Races! Obstacle, sack,
tumble bug, three-legged, potato race,
leap frog, pie-eating contest. Swim
ming races: Duck waddle, tango dip,
relay race, candle race, grotesque
diving, water auto race. The aquatic
carnival is to finish with a grand hui
man fishing contest Human fish
must be landed with rod and line,
pitchforks to be used only as a last
resort.

Pacific Coast Conditions
Far Better Than In East
President Sproule Cites Ashland as Example
Of Oregon's Progress and Confidence

The following appeared in the
press reports from San Francisco
May 21;
Mr., julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
of the executive committee of the
board of directors of the Southern
Pacific company, who passed through
San Francisco late last night on his
way to Delmonte, says there is a
much more cheerful attitude on the
Pacific coast with regard to finan-
cial conditions than in the east and
middle west This feeling" said
Kruttschnitt, lis undoubtedly due to
the fine crop prospects in California
and Oregon. Railroads and other
industries have had hard time of it
for the past year. Earnings have
dropped off so sharply that all roads
have been obliged to curtail their eX-
penditures for new improvements and
betterments. This curtailment in
turn has reacted on other lines of
activity by lessening the demand for
lumber, structural steel and building
materials in general. l could not
but note on my way west the proper
tionate lack of westbound shipments,
which shows that no one is ordering

hopeful out here in California.

people to come from all parts of the

there is need of greater effort

Judge Watson Answers
Anonymous Circular

"Citizens of Ashland, Stop! Read!
Think"
Last Friday, with the awful por-
tent of a midnight fire alarm, the
above admonition went bowling
through our streets as the headline
of heavily lettered and loaded pos
ter. The first impression produced
was that of calamity, but on perusal
it was discovered to be a frantic ef-
fort of the opposition to the mineral
springs proposition.
The first paragraph consisted of
the following four words, THE
amount of water" / suppose this was
meant for query as to the amount
of water to be brought in. For the
information of our excited friends /
will try, first, to allay their fears and
afterwards their thirst.
Mr.. Emery, the expert who exam
ined and measured the springs, gives
the flow of the New Lithia as in ex-
cess of 90 gallons per minute; the
Dodge we'll in excess of 10 gallons
per minute. We will be conserva-
tive and put the combined flow at 33
gallons per minute, 1880 gal
Ions per hour, 1880 gallons
per day. 1,425,6O0 gallons per
month, or 171O7,2O0 gallons every
twelve months. Remember that this
is Initiated borated water, a mineral
compound of the highest medicinal
value and never before reported as
found by analysis combined in natural
waters. OF this water alone the sup
ply is sufficient to give one gallon
per day to each of 1880 people.
The Berkely spring flows 60 gal
Ions per minute, or q gallons per
minute more than the other two
combined, but considering the flow
at so gallons and you have
the combined flow 43,227.2O0
gallons annually The Berkley is
thermal white sulphur water, said to
be in every way equal to the White
Sulphur Springs of Arkansas. These
estimates are believed to be very
conservative. So much for the
amount of water"
What will be the real commercial
value to you who pay the taxes?"
shrieks the fire alarm. The Yankee
answer will have to be given to this
that is, by asking other questions,
to-wit: If the city and surrounding
community should be doubled in pop
ulation and property wealth from
which taxes would be drawn, would
that be to the advantage or detriment

shortage, ] believe that so far as the
growers are concerned, the higher
prices will tend to offset the smaller
quantity.
Southern Oregon is waking up to
its opportunity very rapidly. Ash
land is holding an election to bond
the city for $4,000 to construct a.
resort and develop its mineral
springs. AS the location is one of
the most beautiful in the country,
the scheme will give the seeker for
health or recreation the benefit OF
hot and cold springs, splendid shoot
ing and some of the finest fishing in
the world. The county is spending
100000 in highways and automobile
roads. This is of interest to Califor-
MIA because it helps in the work that
the latter is doing to make a great
north and south highway from south
ern California through the central
and northern parts of the state into
Oregon, connecting a continuous
chain OF pleasure resorts that will
make California and Oregon a play
ground for the whole continent. Ash
land, being just across the boundary
from California, it's activities are of
interest An example of the Oregon
spirit was shown in Ashland when a
citizen with his own money built
theatre accommodating eight hun
dred people. On the opening night
recently the people of the town as
testimonial to the builder filled every
seat in the theatre at s. head.
This means simply that the good
work which is being done in Califor-
mia is also being carried on in Ore
gon."

Big Rains Good
For All Crops

The heavy rains that fell over Sat
urday and Sunday are the best thing
that could happen to the valley in the
way of giving the crops good start
before the dry season comes on. 1t
did little damage to some of the
first crop of alfalfa hay, but the bene-
fit it will be to the other crops, hay
and grain, more than offset the dam
age to the small first crop OF alfalfa.
Gardens, struggling to get above
the ground, are now coming on in
riotous growth. Such good early
summer rains as this prophesy the
finest crops of the decade.
