SYMPATHETIC COOPERATION
IN NDEVElOPMEN OF ALASKA

Washington, Dec 25.-ln his com
ing annual report Secretary Lane says
that the government should continue
its sympathetic cooperation in the de-
velopment of Alaska. He urges that
the confusion in administrative action
in Alaskan affairs should be abolished.
at would be too hazardous thing to
surrender these resources to local con
troll or disposal, for those who nave
lived in any new country know now
great the temptation is to grant away
water front and power sites, forests,
and other exceptional resources to
those who come offering large sums
for quick improvement. Yet this should
not drive us into policy that makes
slow administration necessity.
"The confusion in administration ac-
tion in Alaska is well known. | have
tried to give it currency that it might
hasten the establishment OF some
method of co-ordinated control of Alas
kan affairs, primarily in the hands OF
a resident commission but always in
touch with and responsive to the wish
of congress and the president through
one of the departments That land
has a mysterious charm, pull which
affects all who see it and those, too
who know only indirectly OF its large
ness, its grandeur, and its economic
possibilities. This could not be bet
ter illustrated than by the number OF
lapplications for places which were re-
ceived by the Alaskan Engineering
commission. When that body left for
Alaska in the spring, the number was
over $4,000 and most of those who ap-
piled were not out of work but already
held positions with railroads, in banks,
on farms. or in some city shop. They
wished a tasted of the large life of THIS
new land There are many more OF

Piece Of String
Works Wonders

w. A. Freeburg and ]. F. Rocho
started on fishing trip Friday in an
auto belonging to the latter. The
party managed to get as far as Water
street when something went wrong
and the biggest part of the afternoon
was spent by the would-be fishermen
in vain endeavors to locate the seat
of the trouble. Finally they phoned
for mechanic, who came and looked
the machine over and diagnosed the
trouble as being what he called "in-
termediary paralysis of the motive
power" He went over to the nearest
store and borrowed a piece of string
and had the machine humming mer-
rily in no time at all. Freeburg said,
Isn't 1t queer what a lot of trouble
such a little thing can cause?" and
the party moved sedately off toward
the scene of their endeavors.

Local Syndicate
Sells Bonds

The local syndicate Friday sold
100000 of the 175,00O auxiliary
water bonds which they bought of
the city of Ashland on January 26, to
San Francisco parties at par and ac-
crued interest to date of delivery.
AS soon as the bond blanks arrive
they will be properly executed and
be ready for delivery,
Local investors have engaged
$4,000 of the remainder of the is
sue and the prospects are good for
selling another block of $4,000 to
local men. Fifteen thousand dollars
of the issue is contracted to eastern
parties and will be delivered as soon
as signed. This will leave $35,
still held by the local syndicate, upon
which negotiations are now under
way with good prospects for sale.
If these sales are all consummated
as it now appears they will be, the
bonds will net the local syndicate par
and accrued interest, so there will be
no loss either to the city or syndicate
in the transaction.

Sees Great Future
For Ashland

John H. Dill, a substantial citizen
from Muskogee, Okla, an old friend
of the Tidings editor, arrived in Ash
land last Thursday, purchased the
Mrs. Crouch place on North Main
street on Saturday, began overhaul
ing the house on Monday and is now
living in it. He came to Ashland on
account of the climate, scenery and
proposed springs development and is
now fullfledged citizen. Through
his efforts no doubt fifteen or twenty
families will be added to Ashland 8
population during the year from his
old home, for he came from a place
that has already accomplished just
the development Ashland is now ac-
complishing, along a different linz,
however, and Mr.. Dill and his friends
back home know just how much eau
be added in population and values in
town when it gets started along
natural development lines, and how
quickly it can be done when suffi-
cient power it put behind it, and they
are all anxious to "get in on the
ground floor"

ing that the Rex spray factory which
was recently destroyed by fire be re-
built outside of the city limits. 1t is
stated by members of the organiza-
tion that the factory should be re-
built away from the city as its pres
ent location is a menace to the public
health and that the fumes are killing
the modrOna groves near there. This
grove is said to be the only one of its
kind along the Southern Pacific
route. Already the petitions have
been signed by the majority of the
citizens and in a short time will be
sent to those in charge of the spray
company, Investigations have been
made and it has been found that the
factory can be erected in a suitable
place short distance south of Phoe-
nix.

contest is growing fast and furious.
The votes are being cast in stacks.
Practically every purchaser of mer-

leave a nice bunch of spending money
for the winner.

contest the contestant with the least
votes now, or possibly some girl who
has not yet entered the contest at
all, may be that fortunate one, for
the contest advertisers are all offer
ing special votes on special purchases
and special sales, and the girl who
watches the advertisements closest

Would Have Former
Partner Locate

D. H. Thompson of Pendleton was
in the city Friday on a visit with his
friend and former partner, Chester
Stephenson. He is seeking a new To-
cation. Messrs. Thompson and
Stephenson were formerly partners
in a general mercantile business at
North Yakima, Wash, which they
sold out because of Mr.. Stephenson's g
i'll health, and about four years ago
Mr.. Stephenson came here and pur-
chased the Johnson place on Winner
street, where he has been ranching
and abs entirely regained his health.
Mr.. Thompson then settled at Pendle-
ton, from where he now comes. He
was attracted here because of our
proposed springs development, hap
pening to call on the Tidings editor
just as Mr.. Smith and the springs
commission were consummating a
contract for the installation of the
auxiliary water plant. Mr.. Stephen
son has great faith in the future of
Ashland and is insisting that his for
mer partner cast his lot here.

Fruit Association
Elects Manager

Prof. Clifford Metcalf was elected
manager of the Ashland Fruit and
Produce Association at a meeting
held last week. The new manager
comes from Los Angeles and was re-
Gently connected with the Polytechnic
College here. Mr. Metcalf is an ex-
perienced business man and an ex-
pert bookkeeper and should be able
to handle the affairs of the associa-
tion in a manner profitable to all
concerned.
The meeting at which the manager
was chosen lasted we'll towards mid
night and considerable heated discus
sion was INDUCED in. There were
four candidates for the position,
Ralph Hedges, D. d. Norris and Fred
Clausing being the unsuccessful can
didates. Norris is the present book
keeper at the associations place of
business, Hedges was candidate for
recorder in the recent city election,
and Clausing is bookkeeper at the
Talent cannery. All of the appli-
cants were well fitted for the work
and the five directors had a hard
time choosing one.
A. c. Briggs, the former manager,
resigned January 1, but remained on
the job until the first of February.
Mr.. Metcalf will take up the work
as soon as he has recovered from the
effects of an operation which it is
necessary that he should undergo.
He will handle both the managers
and bookkeeper's work but will have
help during the rush season.
