Attraction
Extraordinary

An entire Spanish village was built
at great expense by the Paramount
Pictures Corporation to provide set
ting for "The Spanish Jade" which
will be shown at the Vining Theatre
Tuesday evening. Betty Bellairs, for
merly the leading support of Ellen
Terry, plays the leading role and
handles the vivid character work with
a world of vivacity.
The setting for the many scenes of
this picture are said to be absolutely
realistic and provide an artistic set
ting for a romantic story dealing with
the warm temperaments of the deni-
zens of old Spain.
The critic of the Moving Picture
World says: Those who love the
Spanish atmosphere will take equal
delight in The Spanish Jade one of
the most artistic pictures ever pro-
duced."

Will Attempt To
Make Record

E. G. Baker, who recently estab-
lished records for both automobile
and motorcycles across the continent,
passed through Ashland yesterday on
a leisurely trip north. He will pass
through again in about two weeks
bound from Vancouver, B. c., to Tia
Juana, Mexico, in an effort to lower
all records for the border to border
trip. He will ride a 1916 model
Indian. Baker says that the road
from Redding to Dunsmuir is fierce
and from Dunsmuir north a boule-
ward.
Bakers record across the conti-
net on a motorcycle was from New
York city to San Diego, distance
of 1878 miles, in II days, 2 hours
and 10 minutes. In an auto the re-
turn trip was made in three hours
less time, the route traversed being
slightly longer.

Jackson Roads Are
Best In Two States

The August bulletin of the Pacific
Highway Association has Just been
received. In it is a complete log Of
the trip over the Pacific highway
from Vancouver, B. c., to Tia Juana,
Mexico, made by Lewis |. Thompson,
vice-president of the association for
Multnamah county. The trip over
the highway covered $500 miles and
the log gives a complete resume Of
the running time, distance, both be-
tween cities and total, and road con-
ditions. Jackson county may we'll
feel proud Of her roads when the bull
letin reveals the fact that from the
Canadian line to Sacramento the
roads through Jackson county are the
only ones described as fine"
Throughout Oregon the roads are de-
scribed as uniformly good, with the
only bad places being on either side
of Cottage Grove. From Ashland
south to Dunsmuir the roads are de-
clared to be good, from Dunsmuir to
Redding bad, and from Redding to
Chico only fair. From Chico on to
Sacramento the roads are good and
from Sacramento to Oakland fine.
From San Francisco on south condi-
tions are fair and good except in the
San Marcos Pass. To the motorist
who intends taking a trip either south
of north the information contained
in the bulletin would be most valu-
able.
Announcement is also made of the
sixth annual convention of the Pa
cific Highway Association which will
be held in San Francisco on Septem-
ber 16.

The county court is now preparing
estimates for bids for the Pacific

Greatest Novelty
of the Present Age

Universally acknowledged to be the
greatest novelty ever thrown upon the
screen and ranking high above any
scientific picture, is the Williamson
submarine expedition pictures which
will be shown at the Vining Theatre
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
with a matinee Thursday afternoon.
Prices for the evening shows, Is and
25 cents; for the matinee, 10 and 15
cents. The pictures have been the
subject of favorable comment and
lengthy articles in the Scientific
American magazine and many other
scientific and popular magazines.
The New York Journal says of the
pictures:
Zone hundred miles of ocean bot
tom secrets; West Indian submarine
gardens; deep sea divers at work.
finding of old wrecks; millions of
of fish; natives of Bahama
at work and play; school of sharks;
how underwater pictures were made
both day and night; the invention;
the danger the heroic fight, fathoms
deep, between man and monster
shark. A lifetime lesson in these un-
equalled pictures"

Loganberry Juice
Wins Instant Favor

The sudden fame which Oregon
loganberry juice has attained opens
up a new line for the ranchers of the
Ashland district who have but a few
acres. A few years ago the hills west
of the city were covered with logan
berry vines and huge crops resulted.
There was no market for the berries
at that time and nearly all of the
vines have been grubbed up. The in
stant popularity which has been at
tanned by the new drink assures its
in the favor of the pub
lie and no doubt loganberry juice will
soon take its place alongside of grape
juice as a popular beverage. The
hills around the city provide ideal
conditions for raising the berry and
ready market for them will be ready
by next season.

Publicity Dept.
Notes Of Interest

On Thursday of last week Mr.. L. j
Spence, director of Traffic of the
Southern Pacific Company, passed
through Ashland in his private car
on the way to Portland. Manager
Duryea, through the courtesy OF the
local Southern Pacific office, sent an
invitation down the road asking Mr.,
Spence to take an automobile ride
through the city and over the high
way to Medford. Unfortunately train
16 was over two hours late and Mr.
Spence did not feel able to accept the
invitation. Mr.. Duryea went to the
train, taking with him a box of very
beautiful gladioli furnished by Mr..
II. P. Holmes of Ashland, and spent
the time the train was in the yards
talking with Mr.. Spence and telling
him about the work that is being
done to make Ashland great resort.
Mr.. Spence seemed very much inter
ested in hearing about the city and
its resources and expressed his regret
that the delay in getting here had
deprived him OF the opportunity. Of
seeing for himself something OF the
beauty and charm of Ashland. On
Friday the publicity department re-
ceived a telegram from Mr.. Spence
thanking the city, on behalf of Mrs.
Spence and himself, for the flowers
and wishing us success in our unde"-
takings.
The Oregon Journal Of Sunday had
an illustrated story on Ashland's auto
camp ground, written by the manager
of the publicity department. This is
the third story of this kind that has

MedfOrd Wins
From Weed Team

Medford defeated Weed Sunday
afternoon in the tenth inning of an
interesting baseball game on the
Medford diamond. The game was
replete with heavy hitting and speedy
playing with enough erors scattered
in to allow of occasional scores.
Weed got to Welch, the University of
Oregon pitcher who held down the
mound for Medford, in the first in
ming for three hits which, with a gal
axy of errors contributed to Weed
total of five runs. Kenneth Lilly,
the Ashland boy playing with Weed,
is batting in the cleanup position
and justified his position by banging
out three-bagger which scored two
runs. After the first inning Welch
frightened up and Weed failed to
score again. Medford played an up
hill game and finally won out in the
last half of the tenth on a rather
dubious play. The officiating
throughout was far from perfect,
both sides receiving their share of
queer decisions. The final run came
with two out when a passed ball al
lowed man on third to score. The
ball was blocked by a spectator
standing in front OF the grandstand
and, according to rules, the ball was
dead and the runner should have re-
turned to third.
A number of Ashland fans attend
ed the game.

Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Peil have deed

This widens Park avenue to 90 feet,
of which about Is feet lies within

at least 40 feet in width to the west

The city may find it advantageous
to widen Park avenue to the south
ward of the Peil street dedication,
by taking a strip off from the lands
recently acquired under contract, and
from lands privately owned.

here as to the land belonging to the
