Medford Man Boosts Project.
Medford, Ore. June 3. 1914


To the Editor; | wish to say
word with reference to the most wor-
thy project Ashland has ever launch
ed since the city was founded
1t is superfluous to use any further
words in support of the mineral
springs proposition as the splendid
argument advanced in the several
communications already published
have covered the ground so thorough
ly that the few objectors apparently
have not tried to answer them in the
papers, the columns of which were as
free for one side as the other. But
as former resident of the vicinity of
Ashland, and a friend to the city and
booster for the entire section of
country called southern Oregon and
Rogue River Valley, think it is right
to congratulate the people of Ashland
in taking the step which in my hum
bic judgment will do even more for
the city and valley than its promoters
at present predict. 1t is fortunate
indeed that the new springs were dis
covered and that the enterprise was
started the year before the great fair
opens.
l note by the last issue of the It'd
ings that meeting is to be held Sat
urday night. This is right and there
should be big attendance and all
the issues of the matter discussed,
but have no doubt of the outcome Of
the election on June 8.
With best wishes | am,
Yours respectfully,
]. NJ. BROOKS.

Tree in Plaza
Planted in 1877

Charles Chitwood was in the city
last week visiting old friends. He
is one of Oregons native sons, his
father being one of the first drug
gists in the valley, having been en-
gagged in business for many years
with Judge Watson.
DR.. Chitwood and Mr.. Watson to-
gether planted the tree in the plaza
near the fountain about 1877 or
1878, the exact date not being re-
corded. The first issue of the It'd
ings was issued thirty-nine years ago
from a small room in the rear of the
drug store, given for the purpose by
Messrs. Chitwood and Watson. The
first copy from the press was secured

over this part of the country negoti-
ating with the Indians.
Charles Chitwood is now engaged
in the forestry service, being in
charge of the work in Lake and
klamath counties. He remembers
distinctly the frequent assembling of
the Indians about the old mill on Mill
street. He is a brother-in-law of Mr..
Watson, and takes great pride in the
growth of the tree in the most promi-
nent point of the city planted at such
an early date.

and the abode of consulate. These
waters have again and again cured
the most aggravating diseases, and,
once given the chance, Little Ash
land" will do its utmost to relieve
the sufferings of all who may wor-
ship at its shrine.

strate your prowess to the world as
a scenic and health resort, and
thankful hearts will arise and call
you blessed. II. G.. GILMORE.

What Ashland May Learn of Karls-
bad and Its Celebrated Waters.

Nnat ASnIanu May Learn OF harIS-
bad and Its Celebrated Waters.
Editor Tidings: In view of the
fact that Ashland holds, within the
hollow of her hand, the opportunity
of either making or breaking herself
for all time to come by her vote at
the polls tomorrow (Tuesday), the
following facts respecting the cura-
tive qualities of the celebrated Karls-
bad waters of Bohemia, Austria, can
not but prove interesting to Ashland
at large. The information is con-
tanned in an advertisement that ap-
peared in the Illustrated London
News of May 8, 1914, and very con-
cisely tells its own story.
With the publicity the Southern
Pacific stands ready to give Ashland
the moment the lithia and other
springs reach the confines of the tity,
there Is good reason for believing
that approximately, at least, our city
may become a second Karlsbad. Ash
landers would do well to "read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest" the
following facts-that last year over
10000 visited Karlsbad for it's
cures; there were 100000 tourists
and visitors and the diseases treated
were abdominal, intestinal, liver,
kidney and bladder complaints, be-
sides diabetes, gout, rheumatism,
uric acid, diathesis, etc. There are
six large bathing establishments con-
nected with the institution and in
clude shower, carbonic acid, steam,
mud, hot air and other baths, and on
the grounds there are Swedish gym
nastics, massage, beautiful forests,

Ashland Should Awake.

Ashland mineral springs. Those
world travellers who have heard men
tion of them, stand up and be count
ed! Although | have been brushing
around over the west for many years
and always having in mind strange,
peculiar and useful resources, it is
news to me, if it be true, that Ash
land has mineral springs worthy of
mention.
A few years ago line in local
paper mentioned as a piece of news
of the state" that Ashland was going
to develop her springs. So proceed
ed to hunt up a couple of Ashland ma
tives who have come done to Coos to
make some investments hereabouts,
and made inquiry about what the
news item referred to.
They jumped on me, figuratively
speaking, with both feet. They said
in and about Ashland were the finest
mineral springs on earth, bubbling
out of the foot of the Cascade range,
Mount Shasta and nearby foothills. A
variety of waters-lithia, soda, iron,
magnesia, sulphur, radium and all
such with their varied combinations
and the valuable medicated mud
which goes with them, and either
cold, lukewarm or boiling.
They wanted to know the reason
for my ignorance of these conditions
and l explained that such do not ap-
pear on the map, are not of record in
the daily press, the Southern Pacific
literature, or on the geological atlas
issued by Uncle Sam; that l had
friends and companions who had
lived in those parts for years and they
had not made mention of such valu-
able assets.
Assuming that there is some merit
of truth in what these Ashlanders as
sert, then why in Sam Hill'' and for
the good of the American people and
Ashland in particular, don't the peo-
pie over in that valley of dreams say
something? Get up and "holler"
Say that you have all the resorts for
health and worldly enjoyment laid in
the deep and silent shade.
;rn ryharn
the afflicted in health may come to
be restored, where the rheumatic and
gouty may again regain their youthful
elasticity of joint and limb, or the
man who hasn't digested a decent
meal since he was a boy can get a
new set of the various organs put
into working commission again, is
something worthy of mention in a
loud and certain voice.
We know where Ashland appears
on the map, which means that it has,
perhaps, the most beautiful and at
tractive environments of any spot in
America. Shasta, the broad, flat sum-
NIT of the Cascade range with the
Mountain lakes thereon, over the hill
the inland seas of Klamath, Emil
grant and the Applegate, the old
Jacksonville diggin's, the sugar pines
and mountain parks, the Rogue and
its valley of fruits and flowers, and
Crater Lake, the gem of all; good
highways, congenial people, and-the
Fountains of Youth. Tell it to the
world that they may know, and the
world will call on you. The pilgrims
from Hillah might bring along jug. |
