Recognition
From Portland

The following article was clipped
from the Chamber of Commerce
News, the official publication of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce.
The Portland chamber is working to-
ward a unilication of all the CONNER
cial bodies of Oregon toward the FUR
therance of the states welfare. Dur
ing Mr.. Duryea's recent visit in Port
land he met with the heads of the
Chamber of Commerce at luncheon
and was asked to outline the work
which is going on here. The follow
ing article is the result:
acknowledgements New Spa.
Several municipalities in Oregon
have shown remarkable courage dur
ing the past few months by undertak-
ing large projects that involve the
expenditure of big-biC for small
towns-sums OF money. Citizens, by
big majorities, have voted for bond
issues to raise money to finance rail
road construction, build sawmills
and carry out development plans of
various sorts. Faith in the future of
their home town, faith in the future
of Oregon, has been shown. Notable
among these cities is Ashland, in
southern Oregon.
Ashland is located in wonderful
belt of mineral springs. For all the
years that the city has existed the
citizens have enjoyed these waters,
but have not given much thought to
them as important factors in the
commercial life of the community
Now these self-same springs have be-
come the foundation on which there
is to rise bigger and better Ash
land.
Already Ashland is getting
chesty and brags about being the
Carlsbad OF America One hundred
and seventy-five thousand dollars in
real money has been raised by the
sale of bonds. Given forty, or more,
magnificent springs of lithia, soda
and sulphur water and $175,OO0 in
cash and you have pretty good start
towards a resort. Ashland has that
start.
Next year the city will be a full
fledged resort with sixty acres of
park system, full of attractions for
the visitor, and a world OF the finest
mineral waters flowing.
Health and happiness are the two
things mortals need most, want most.
The citizens Of Ashland are getting
ready to give these to the people OF
Oregon and all the world, for one
can find health in drinking Ashland
waters and breathing Ashland all
and could not fail to find happiness
in the beauty of the city and lowell
ness of its environment"

No one is obliged to live where he
is not suited. If one hasn't an en-
couraging word for the business en-
terprise and institutions of his town,
he should shut up and "go way back
and sit down" If things don't suit
you, move to where they will. A
growler and sorehead in town is an
enterprise killer every time. 1t would
pay town to donate him IS and tell
hime to move.

Men for Three Years War

Germany is credited with produc-
ing about 100000 recruits per year
from her growing youth Austria
probably half as many. Turkey is
more uncertain quantity, but may be
put down at 100000, giving the cen.
trail powers a total OF new material
OF about 100000 per year. which
may be increased by lowering the
physical Requirements OF recruits.
Say that the total is 100000 per
year to Offset the loss OF a little less
than $500, 1000 Placing the present
available military strength OF Ger
many at 10000 900, Austria 100000
and Turkey 100000. we have a to-
tai OF $1,000 900 fighting men upon
which there is net loss OF $500 900
per year. Three years more OF war
would therefore reduce the numeri-
cal strength OF the Teutonic allies
by 1900 900. leaving them still over

military training or military mind
that II was an artillery war"-that
artillery in its relation TO infantry
and cavalry had outstripped them.
This fact which was "sensed" by
skilled observers at the outbreak OF
the war has been beaten into the
hum lest intelligence by the course
of events and the ratio OF cannon
