The man through whom ! learned
of Parks death caught sight OF him
from the door of another room and
managed to get near enough to Parks
TO whisper to him unnoticed by the
other Mexicans present. Necessarily
he could hear little OF what Parks
said. He told me he caught the

Telephone Line
To Mount Wagner

r. U. Gamblers and force of men
started work today on a telephone
line from the ranger cabin to the
summit of Mount Wagner. This line
is to be installed by the forester SER
vice under the direction of the county
court and the Jackson County Fire
Protection Association.
It will be operated mainly for the
fire-prevention system of the county,
as the pinnacle of Wagner gives an
excellent view Of the entire Siskiyou
range and will be one of the most inn
portant points in southern Oregon for
this work.
Work is to be rushed as the season
of greatest danger from fire has been
found to be from June 1 to September
80.
Jackson county had two fires last
month in the mountains, but little
damage was done.
AS the tourist seasons opens the
danger is greatly increased from
camp fires and picnickers.

Odd Fellows Hall
Among the Oldest

The Odd Fellows hall, which is be-
ing remodeled because of the recent
falling in of the roof, was one of the
earliest brick buildings to be erected
in Ashland. 1t was built in 1878,
two years after the first Tidings was
printed. At that time there were no
railroads in the valley and the town
was very small, only about seven hum
dred people living here at that time.
lt was erected on account of the de-
struction by fire of the old wooden
Odd Fellows hall. When the other
building burned the Odd Fellows is
sued bonds for building the new
building. They stood the cost of the
upper story and Ed Farlow, jim
Fountain, II. T. Inflow and A. ID. Hell
man bought the lower story. Ed
Farlow and Jim Fountain were in the
room now occupied by T. X. Bolton

The Last Gun Fires
Only Common Shot

Bressler and others would find the
opportunity they are apparently
seeking.
The question of taxes and the ef-
feet upon taxes has been fully dis
cussed in the papers and out of them
and is fully understood.
That some efforts have been made
in other places to pipe mineral wa
ters which have failed is not surpris-
ing; in fact, scarcely any enterprise
is undertaken and carried to great
success that might not find its coun-
terpart in kind which has proved a
failure by reasons of ignorance in
the manner of undertaking it, and
it is exactly for that reason that the
committee employed the Smith
Emery Company to direct every fea-
ture of the technical part of this
proposition in the preliminary work,
and because they have done so tho
great Southern Pacific Company has
Joined hands with us in the assur-
ance of its success.
The places mentioned by the said
paper that have not been benefited
by increase of population in all prob.
abilities undertook to do these things
without the aid of a great corpora
tion like the Southern Pacific Com
pany. 1t is an unquestioned fact that
the Southern Pacific Company, by
the generous expenditure of it's mill
lions in Southern California, has
built up there their great resorts that
are frequented by the whole world,
and the same company now UNDER
takes in the most open and emphatic
manner to assure to MS that they will
do here what they did there, and
with such men as the Smith-Emery
| Company, John McLaren, the great
landscape architect who has just Wis
tied us, and the other eminent men
who are assuring us of the success OF
this undertaking, we feel that it is
not necessary to pay much attention
to men in our midst who assume
without knowledge of facts or condi-
tions to prophesy failure.
We are not criticising men for
honest opposition, but do think that
coming in at the last hour upon the
last day with these objections for
the first time when it was thought
too late to have them successfully
answered looks like an old-fashioned
piece of political trickery.

Springs Revert
If Election Fails

BY the terms of the agreements
with the land owners upon which the
mineral springs have been developed,
the city must actually bring the wa
ters into Ashland within one year
from the date of the contracts (many
OF these signed in December last) or
the title will remain with the land
owners without recourse by the city.
The contracts provide that the wa
ters must be actually brought into the
city. These deeds to the city are
ready to be filed the day the bonds
are voted. If the bond election fails
the contracts are void.
The contracts provide for develop
ment, easement for the pipe lines and
such other lands as are actually need
ed for the proper transfer of the wa
ters and protection of the springs.
The land owners have been very
liberal and the interest of the people
entirely protected.
If the bonds are voted the springs
become the property of the city. II
they fail the ttel will rest entirely
with the land owners as If no devel-
opment had been attempted

ed. His utterances were received
with great enthusiasm and removed
every doubt that the railroad is deep
ly interested in the development of
our springs.
Allin Pollok, manager of the din
ing car, restaurant and hotel depart
ment of the Southern Pacific, looked
over the city Saturday, gaining first
hand information on which to intelli-
gently take up the hotel problems
which will confront the city. He
spoke enthusiastically over the posi-
bilities of our city as a resort.
John NJ, Scott, general passenger
agent for Oregon, we'll known to al
most every citizen, spoke on the great
travel to be expected next summer
and the development of the Pacific
coast which will follow, and believed
Ashland's time was ripe for taking
advantage of her natural resources to
the greatest possible extent.
John NJ. McLaren, father of Golden
Gate park and landscaper for the
Pacific-Panama exposition, looked
over Canyon park Saturday afternoon.
He told our citizens something of the
possibilities for the park. His en-
thusiasm over the natural advantages
was unbounded. He says we have the
most wonderful natural park he has
seen in his long experience and little
has been left for man to do except to
enhance natures work.
Mr.. Smith, head of the Smith
Emery Company, chemical engineers
of San Francisco, read the proposition
which his company is willing to bond
for faithful performance. He eX-
! planned the manner in which the wa
ters will be handled in detail and an
swered questions from citizens, stat
ing that there is not the least doubt
about the successful piping of the
waters into the city. His company
will put up a bond guaranteeing the
project.
Bert r. Greer, on behalf of the citi-
zens and committee, thanked the
Southern Pacific officials and the
others for their great interest and
rested the case of the bond issue with
the people, stating that so far as the
Commercial Club development work,
! the committee work was completed
and the campaign for the bonds rest
ed with the people.

Why Everyone
Should Vote

Among bond investors there are
three main considerations:
First-The security offered.
Second-The number of citizens vot-
ing indicates the population of the
town, because certificate of the
number of votes cast for or against
the proposition goes to the buyer
TO give him an idea of the security
offered.
Third-The bond as a moral obliga-
tion. If a large vote is cast II
shows the bond buyer that large
numbers are behind the security
If a large vote is cast for the
bonds it shows the investor that
the bonds are voted to forward a
movement which the people are
behind morally.
The bigger the vote tomorrow, the
easier the bonds will sell and the
better price we will get for them.

Springs Talked at
Seattle and Portland

Robert L. Vining returned from a
ten-day visit to Seattle and Portland
yesterday. He is more enthusiastic
over Ashland's future than before
leaving-if that is possible.
He was surprised with the number
of inquiries about the development of
The mineral springs and says we have
no idea the amount of talk that is
being heard all over the coast on the
spirit which is shown in our effort to
make Ashland a health and pleasure
resort.
Mr.. Vining was kept busy answer
ing questions about the possibility of
a boom coming to our city. He was
surprised over the thorough under
standing the people generally have
of our plans and the confidence they
feel in the project.
He was also pleased to learn that
the new opera house in our city has
been advertised throughout the coun-
try in the theatrical journals and the
show people have put Ashland on the
map and are making inquiries for
dates.
While in Portland Friday night he
secured four of the principal acts for
the Vining, including Martha Russell
and the Dodson and Gordon colored
comedians. These people are making
the greatest hit on the Pantages cir

cult and the moment Mr.. Vining saw
the acts he set about securing them
for Ashland. They will appear at the
Vining Wednesday and Thursday.
Mr.. Vining says he is more thor
oughly convinced than ever that Ash
land is about to come into her own
and let the world know she is on the
map. He believes the moment the
bonds are voted and the word goes
out that our people have backed up
their plans with a bond issue, Ash
lands star will begin to rise and at
tract the attention of the entire
world.
He says there is plenty of money
seeking investment at this time and
we will find investors anxious to
place their money in enterprises on
the Pacific coast Immediately in or
der to reap the benefits which gener-
ally will come from the great crowds
coming this way next summer.
Mr.. Vining says: 81 was never as
proud of my native city than / am
today, and never believed so much
in her future"

Greatest Public Gathering
Ever Held in Ashland

The greatest crowd ever assembled
in Ashland filled the armory Satur-
day night to hear the final word on
the springs project and something of
Ashland's future from the most prom
inent men on the Pacific coast. Stand
ing room was at a premium, every
available chair being occupied and
many standing along the walls and
even out into the hallway.
When the Southern Pacific officials
and their guests made their appear
ance the enthusiasm broke loose and
continued throughout the two hours
consumed in speaking.
The male quartet made hit with
an original song on the subject upper
most in the minds of our people. 1t
was composed by A. L. Strickland
and Professor Gilmore, as follows:
Song of the Incoming Springs.

They'll make you young and cure
your ills,

We're bound to vote those bonds,

And then we'll do big things.

If you drink enough you never will
die.
It's healing value amt no joke,
The doctors, they will all go broke.
The tourists will come flocking in,
And fill our pockets full of tin.

To laugh and sing and have a dance
