School Opened
This Morning

School opened this morning with
its customary rush of school children.
Families had to undergo the usual
before school turmoil as before.
Many had to change their breakfast
hour till little earlier. Every boy
and girl seems.glad to be back on the
education job.
High school opened with a scrip
ture reading and benediction by Rev.
Douglass of the Methodist church.
Following this, all high-schoolers rose
and sang Loyalty" with mighty
fervor. Several of last years class
were present, and they also did not
keep their mouths closed on the good
old song that every Ashland school
boy and girl knows and loves so well.
The customary enrolment cards
were then passed around and made
out. The attendance this year will
far exceed that of last. This morn
ing almost every seat was filled. This
shows that Ashland has many new
people within it's confines, for there
was many new face.

Southern Oregon
Exhibit Under Way

II. o. Frohbach, professor for Jack
son county, was in Medford Saturday
consulting with George M. Hyland,
director general for Oregon at the
Panama-Pacific exposition, regarding
the exhibit at the fair. The floor
space and plans for the display for
Douglas, Josephine, klamath and
Jackson counties were placed in Mr..
Frohbach's hands and the details will
be worked out at once. 1t is the
intention to make the display of the
four counties jointly in order to bet
ter attract attention to southern Ore
gon rather than to any particular
county.
The four counties have each appro-
priated funds for the exhibit and will
unite in an effort to bring about ben
eficial results from the display. Mr..
Frohbach will be in charge of the dis
play and already has the greater part
of the fruit in process for the exhibit.
The fair opens in February, and
before that time arrangements will
have been completed and the display
ready.
The executive committee of the
four counties will meet in klamath
Falls this month to go over the final
details

Big Tourist
Movement in is

Newspapers and railroad men
everywhere are predicting tremen-
dous tourist movements toward the
west next season. The European war
has closed tourist travel channels
abroad and Americans will no doubt
be forced to see America or stay at
home.
Ashland should make a supreme
effort to complete her resort before
the tourist season of 1915 opens 1t
is the greatest chance that has ever
come, or may ever come, to her. 1t
is the duty of every citizen to get be-
hind the project with his influence
and with his money, if need be, to
hurry its accomplishment The
springs commission is busy on a plan
which, if it meets with proper CO.
operation from citizens, will result
in the work going promptly forward.
The bond record is now in the hands
of New York attorneys for examna-
ton. If the legality is approved by
them the plans will be made public
and work will begin if the people of
Ashland will back the commission
