PACIFIC HIGHWAY OPENED
Dunbar Quartet
Next Wednesday

The Dunbar Male Quartet will ap-
pear before the Ashland public, un-
der the auspices of the Elks' lyceum
course, at the Vining Theatre We'd
nesday evening. They are known
worldwide and the largest addition
al seat sale of the season will prob
ably be at this performance. The
Elks lodge is to take upon itself
much credit for furnishing this
course during the winter. 1t means
a good deal of financial risk for them
and the management of such is an
undertaking.
The bell-ringing part of the pro-
gram is one of the most novel of the
lyceum platform. Two hundred bells
will be used, all of extreme mellow
tone and an indescribable sweetness,
never failing to cause that musical
feeling to creep up ones backbone.
Years of experience have resulted in
such a perfect system of manipula-
ton that such composition as Mac
Dowells ITO Wild Rose," Nevin's
"Gondoliers" and Chopin's Rain
drop" prelude are given with grace
and effect absolutely unobtainable on
any other instrument.

Big PhotOpIay
Feature at Star

The Star has program of extraor-
dinary merit for the last four days
of this week, commencing with Lucille
Love on Thursday and following with
N. Y. c. l.. & u, The Perils of Paul
inc, and One Wonderful Night. This
picture house has a bill of merit as
is seldom shown.
One Wonderful Night is one of the
sensations of the year, and The I'm
derworld, one of the most interest
ing features ever brought to Ashland,
will be shown at the Star Theatre
Friday, November 27. This picture
is entitled New York Society Life and
Underworld and comes direct to Ash
land after an extended run in Seattle
and all the large cities of the east
1t is taken in the Chinatown of our
great metropolis and shows the con-
ditions as they actually exist without
1t gives us brief glimpses of the
Chinatown, Bowery. slums, gambling
dens and also introduces that notori-
GUS New York character, Chuck
Connors," the white mayor of China
town. This picture has created quite
favorable comment, and as there is a
fine plot running throughout the pro-
duction, the interest never wanes.
Owing to other engagements this
wonderful feature will be shown at
the Star Friday night only.

Special Program
Thursday Evening

Professor Vining has secured q
special feature for the Thanksgiving
programs, the reel to be Home, Sweet
Home. There will be a matinee in
the afternoon and two programs in
the evening.
Home, Sweet Home is a reel that
deals with life-real life depicted
from birth to death. 1t brings in the
effect of that love of home and fam
lily as pitted against crime, and how,
when on the verge of committing
murder, a criminal will let his mind
revert to home or he will perhaps
hear the strains of an old organ
wheeling out that comforting old
melody, and he will restrain from do
ing his deed of theft or violence. IT
is truly a reel full of emotion and
fitting the occasion of Thanksgiving,
when people think of their home and
the table heavily laden with turkey
and good things.

Homemade Candy
That is Tempting

II. II. Woods of Portland has beer
placed in charge of the candy-mak
ing for Rose Brothers. His skill is
such that attention has been attract
ed to his window displays in an un'
usual manner. He is thoroughly NJ
to date and his morsels are indeed
tempting.
Rose Brothers are making a spec.
ialty of candy from their own con.
coctions and are indeed being re-
warded by the increased patronage
Their workshop is a marvel fol
cleanliness and is equipped with the
latest devices for making candy on
an extensive scale. Their enterprise
should be appreciated, especially by
the ladies of Ashland.

Irrigation Plans For Valley
Enthusiastically Endorsed

the most important meeting held in
this valley since ! came here" de-
clared he. 1T would be nothing
short of a crime to allow any consid-
Grafton to defeat the project initiated
by this committee. With water
your orchards are worth big money,
but want to state most plainly and
emphatically that without irrigation
those orchards are not worth what
is being asked for them, and what, in
many cases, has actually been paid" ."
The symposium developed into
what looked like a contest among
the many landowners as to who could
make the strongest plea for water.
J. A. Perry strongly endorsed the
move, stating that he had twice
signed contracts for which he was
still without. Mr.. Barnum of Phoe-
nix, Mr.. Lowery, manager of the Bear
Creek orchards, S. V. Beckwith and
others added their experiences, all
strongly pointing out the need of
general irrigation.
On motion of S. V. Beckwith, the
meeting, without a dissenting voice,
went on record as declaring that the
situation in the valley demanded the
construction of an irrigation system
that would bring an ample supply of
water to practically the entire floor
of the valley.
Dunbar Carpenter, who has been
chairman of the committee that has
worked on the matter heretofore, af-
ter explaining the work of the COM
mittee, moved that the meeting go
on record as emphatically of the
opinion that energetic steps should
be taken looking toward securing of
irrigation by the establishment of an
irrigation district.
j. A. Westerlund followed with a
motion that the present committee
of the league who had so earnestly
taken up the work should be asked
to continue, representing the land
owners of the valley, and should
have power and authority to push the
matter through all the phases of in
vestigation, making of preliminary
plans, drafting petitions for present
ing in due form to the court for ac-
tion. This motion, with an amend
ment by Guy Conner that the chair
appoint another member, making the
committee one of five, was unani-
mously adopted. This committee

Rapid Commercial Changes Must
Be Expected to Follow--Hour-
Auto Service Established.

The formal opening of the Pacific
highway from Ashland through Med
ford to Central Point today will mark
the first step in rapid commercial
changes in the Rogue River Valley.
This hardsurfaced road will bring
to Ashland's door competitive trade
territory which has in the past been
| absolutely prohibited by the condi-
tion of the roads. The opening of
the highway will make of the valley
one large but compact body, bring
the citizens of Central Point and
Ashland within a few minutes ride
by auto with each other.
With the reduced cost of rents
lights, labor cost and general ex-
penses in Ashland compared to other
cities in the valley, the merchants of
this city have opened before them a
competitive territory almost unlimit-
ed in possibilities. With the moder-
ate rents prevailing in this city, the
comparatively smaller expenses gen.
orally enable our merchants to go
into this competitive territory at
far less cost to get the trade, and
will enable the expenditure of more
money to get the trade and still en-
able our merchants to sell at a great
er percentage of profit than their
competitors.
The possibilities of this new field
of trade are unlimited.
With the completion of the Pacific
highway in the spring over the Sis
kiyous another rich field will be
opened to Ashland which has been
prohibited in the past by the unpass-
able condition of the mountains
With uniform grade over the noun
tains autos may travel to the south
side within a very short time.
The establishment of a regular
auto service between Medford and
Ashland will enliven competition to
its full limit Already our merchants
are discussing plans whereby they
will enable purchasers of goods in

Lights to be Placed
On Water Street

Water street, which has always
been one of the darkest streets in
town, and unsafe after nightfall, will
now be lighted sufficiently, as the
matter was brought up before the
council by eX-Mayor Neil at the last
meeting, which took place Friday
night He exp essed himself that
such a street was menace to the
community 1t is situated right in
the heart of the city and in close
proximity to the railroad where ho-
boes abound. Several expressed
themselves as being afraid to traverse
this street after nightfall. The mat
ter was referred to the street com-
mittee, who will take action.

consists of Dunbar Carpenter, w. A.
Sumner, S. V. Beckwith and Bert
Anderson. The name of the fifth
member will be announced by Col.
Washburn within a few days.
The only untoward feature of the
meeting was the crowd which taxed
the capacity of the hall to It's, ut
most, many others coming to the door
and retiring without being able to
get inside.
The success of this effort seems to
leave no doubt of the ultimate ac-
complishment of the most important
end In view, the placing of this val
ley on the same footing with Hood
River, Yakima, Wenatchee; first
class fruit section with, an ample wa
ter supply.

Watch Enders' windows.

The most significant and impor-
tant meeting ever held in the valley
was that called by the Farmers and
Fruitgrowers League Saturday after
noon at the public library in Med
ford, when two hundred land owners
unanimously endorsed irrigation and
establishment of an irrigation dis
trict in the Rogue River valley. If
the enthusiasm and unanimity of
judgment displayed can be taken as
a fair criterion of the valleys deter
mination, an irrigation system is a
certainty and not far distant.
The committee appointed by the
league some months ago, which has
made a careful study and investiga-
tion of the whole situation, reported
with a recommendation that steps be
taken looking to the formation of
an irrigation district. Attorney A.
e. Reames presented careful, lucid
explanation of what this plan in
volved and its manifold advantages
over a privately owned and controlled
water supply system.
Strong speeches were made by a
score or more of the growers pres
ent. Col. r. c. Washburn, who pre-
sided, told of his coming to the val
ley an anti-irrigationist, but his act
ual experience on his ranch near
Table Rock had convinced him that
he could more than double his fruit
output by a judicious use of irriga-
tion water.
w. n. Sumner, representative OF
the Palmer interests in the district,
made telling talk He cited Yak
ina and Wenatchee, in both of which
districts the average annual output
of fruit orchard was from 600 to
1900 packed boxes per acre. Here
an output of 800 boxes per acre, he
said, was considered better than the
average. This in face of the fact
that soil, climate, altitude, in fact
every element entering into success
full fruit raising, was here present in
better combination than in either OF
the districts mentioned. That one
feature, he said, made those valleys
turn out from 5000 to 5000 car.
loads annually while our best output
was but little over thousand cars,
Professor Reimer was called upon
and in few words made a strong
plea for the effort to bring about
general irrigation. II consider this

this city to secure trips by auto to
Ashland without cost. In the past it.
has been almost impossible to secure
the trade from the lower end of the
valley by reason of the uphill pull
necessary to get into the city, while
the road to Medford was comparative
! ly level The completion of the
paved highway removes this obstacle
to trade, and with the establishments
of the Medford- d-Ashland auto service
hourly during the day this trade can
be brought to this city by a united
effort.
Ashland's merchants are discussing
plans to meet competition in every
branch of trade and will do every
| thing possible to induce trade to this
city. They recognize the fact that
the trade will go where the best
prices can be secured, without regard
to other causes. To meet the keen
est competition the merchants must
organize and go after the trade, and
they are planning to do this with a
vim.
Surely the completion of the Pa
cific highway today will mark the
opening of a rich field heretofore
practically closed to Ashland and
should mark great changes in our
commercial life.
Few cities in America have the
opportunity to establish trade as this
city. The opportunity kncks but once
in a lifetime. Now is the time to go
after and establish a trade territory
which is new to Ashland.
Ashland should strike while the
iron is hot. A strong pull, long
pull and pull all together will secure
/ this magnificent territory. Neglect
| ed, it will go to those who do go
after it, Nothing is gained without
hard work and sticktoitiveness.
Ashland is awake Let her mer-
chants go after the trade. /
