Worst Boys" Go West.

Chicago.-The IL worst boys in
the United States left recently to es-
tablish the Last Chance Boys Club
on nine-acre ranch 81 miles from
Reno, New, where an effort will be
made to make valuable citizens Of
them.
The club is supported by Jack Lon
don, Upton Sinclair, Robert Hunter
and Jack Robbins, president OF the
Glenwood National Fellowship Club.
The boys range in age from II to
Is years. They were selected from
among 5000 bad boys in IL states
and each is rated at over 81 per cent
bad. Mr.. Robbins started Octoker 2
in search of them. Their home cities
are Hartford, Conn; Sioux City, la; A.;
Michawaka, Ind; Lima, o.; Detroit,
Mich. Erie, Pa; Racine, Wis; East
st. Louis, ILL.,; Bridgeton, n. j.;
Wheeling, Boston and Brooklyn.
I'VE do not believe in anything of
a police nature in the reformation Of
boys" Mr.. Robbins said. 1--WE are
going to give our plan several years
trial. If successful it will start the
greatest bad boy reclamation project
ever known"

Ashland's Opportunity.

Mr.. b. r. Greer. City:
Noting your activity in which you
have concentrated your energy in be-
half of the development of our min
eral springs, I am enclosing a little
pamphlet, which trust you will look
over very carefully and which may
he of some benefit to you in your
present researches. This little book
relates to famous water or mineral
spring resort located near the city
IN which / lived before coming to
Oregon In this city | had the man
agement of transfer company office
Tor seven years, from which office an
Old-fashioned four-horse stage coach
left every morning for its forty-mile
journey over the hills of southern
Endiana-situated in the center of
the population of the United States.
Think of it, forty miles and never
crossed or saw railroad or electric
line, and no nearer at any time than
twelve miles to the nearest railroad.
This stage made connections with
another which carried you to the
famous springs l want to tell you
about.
The French Lick Springs in south
srn Indiana are situated forty miles
north of New Albany, Ind, and
Louisville, Ky. These springs are
owned by Thomas Taggart of demo-
cratic fame, national chairman of the
democrat party. I noted in a recent
issue of one of our home papers Mr..
Taggart had refused a million and
a half dollars for this hotel and
springs. These springs would today
he like our Ashland springs if they
had not erected the most modern
and up-to-date hotel in the country,
drawing people to them today by the
thousands. Some day before long
Ashland will have her big hotels and
we will be refusing millions for our
springs.
My object in writing this letter to
you is to compare Ashland and its
scenic beauty and springs with those
of southern Indiana. Those springs
we're practically worthless, I. only be-
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-01-22
of which are controlled by the United

of which are controlled by the United
States; also fishing and hunting.
Instead of Sunday trips to Coles
tin, our Sunday excursions from
Grants Pass, Gold Hill Central Point
and other towns will be to Ashland
the home of the mineral springs;
Ashland with her Chautauqua, with
her beautiful park, band concerts,
etc, and, above all, with the best
climate on the coast and the most
days of sunshine in Oregon.
| showed the book describing
French Lick to one of our Ashland
citizens and told him as / have told
you about the large crowds which go
/ there, and in reply he said: "Of
course, that's in thickly settled part
of the country, center of population. +"
In reply: Yes, that's true, but they
have more spring resorts, ocean re-
sorts and lake resorts within 600
miles of those springs than the whole
Pacific coast has, and each has it's
share. So would Ashland get her
share of patronage on the Pacific
coast
And our fruits let's not forget
them, for well do | remember how
the strangers that come to our Chau-
tauqua rave over our cherries. In
one instance, you no doubt remember
Mr.. Baumgardt, who delivered lee
ture on the Land of the Midnight
Sun. He purchased q box o. cherries
from me to-send to his wife at Los
Angeles; raved over them; wanted
box just like one in the show win
dow and made me promise him that
l would send him a picture of one
of Ashland's cherry trees in full
bloom, that he could exhibit during
his lecture tour. I specialize on
cherries because they ripen at Chau-
tauqua time.
In conclusion, my object in calling
your attention to these facts in the
above is that you can have no idea
to what magnitude this thing may
reach if properly handled-and l
know it will be if you have the hearty
support of Ashland and vicinity.
We can all help lot just by boost
ing. No one ever did anything or
any good by knocking, l, for one,
will help all can, so you can count
on me to do my little in furthering
Ashland's best asset
Very respectfully,
j. r. CROXALL.

ing used by the local population, as
ours are today. but after the erection
of the palatial hotel French Lick
sprang into its own, ranking first to-
day among the health resorts of our
country.
Pluto water is the name of the
water from the famous Pluto spring
pamphlet showing a cut of this
spring. This water is sold from
Maine to California, You have no
doubt seen the picture of little red
devil on bottle of mineral water
Well, that's Pluto. This water is
concentrated at the big bottling plant
operated by the hotel management
and is sold in those little half-pint
bottles at all soda fountains, cafes
and hotels throughout the United
States, Ashland included.
Just picture to yourself building
like this situated on one of our prom
luChJ plcNCo III kAolldHu vi NlElDllN.
French Lick Hotel is a seven-story
building containing about 500 rooms.
Nothing unusual for the register of
this hotel to show from 1900 to
$500 guests daily during summer
months and only slight falling off
in winter, and this is place where
winter is real winter with all its en-
vironments-sleet'a and snow and ice,
with generous touch of zero added.
Then there are other hotels (some
very fine ones, tool that are outside
of the French Lick Hotel district, but
they use the water from this hotel,
paying the French Lick management
so much for use of the water for
their own hotel guests, which is a
big item, when l recollect that one
of these hotels itself is a big insti-
tution-Wells Hotel-seven stories
about 200 rooms in it.
Now, Mr.. Greer, we have here in
Ashland and vicinity room for sew
eral of the above described hotels,
and we have the waters of several
different kinds of springs and the
medicinal mud for the mud baths.
Southern Indiana has no such a back
ground for mineral springs resort
as we have here today in Ashland,
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-01-22

but they utilized what they did have.
We have the beautiful mountains for
background, the snow-capped Ash
land Butte in the distance, the pine
laden forests, with the pure noun
tain air waited down on us cooled
by the snow on the mountains. No
nights that we cannot sleep on ac-
count of the humidity, no mosquitoes
to fight, no malaria to doctor. No
more beautiful spot with less draw
backs have any than have we here
at home. Natures natural health
resort, with natures health-giving
waters rushing out of the ground
here and there. These many springs
of mineral waters were put here for
us to utilize. Have we done it?
Have we not let our best asset go
begging for years, maybe, on account
of the calamity howler, of which
every community has its share? Now
why can't we make our springs the
French Lick of Oregon-of the Pa
cific coast? We can, and you. Mr.
Greer, have taken the first real step
that has ever been taken in the right
direction for development.
| did not intend to lead you to be-
lieve that the above Indiana springs
were not situated on a railroad
They are on branch of the Chicago,
Indianapolis & Louisville railroad
(Monon Route). Their situation in
the way of scenic beauty is not to
be compared with our own little val
ley and city with it's fine schools and
state normal.
Ashland! What wonders it has!
On the main line of the Southern
Pacific railway, better known as the
Road of Thousand Wonders, also
on the Pacific Highway at point
where the great highway crosses the
d pdNtu SlIebJ
from the Josephine county line to
the California state line, reaching
from Canada to Mexico, with its auto
tourists by the thousands passing
through. Our city in 1915 will be
one of the wonders on the Road of
a Thousand Wonders will offer a
haven of rest for the auto tourists.
They will be saying, eve will put
up at Ashland, the town of hotels,
in that beautiful little valley at the
foot of the Siskiyous, in Oregon,
where we can rest, partake of Rogue
River Valleys fine fruit and mineral
waters and southern Oregon hospi-
tality.
Look at the fine side trips we have
to offer here as attractions jaunt
to Ashland Butte, a trip to Oregon's S
greatest wonder, Crater Lake, and
to the wonderful Marble Caves-all
