SECOND PRIZE LETTER
written by Mary Mathes)

written by Mary Mathes)
My Dear Friend:
Did you ever hear of Ashland, Ore
gon, "the Carlsbad of America? A
city of 5000 nestled among the hills
in the southern part Of the famous
Rogue River valley, fast gaining a
reputation for its assets.
Ashland and vicinity have taken
many prizes for fine fruits and re-
markable exhibits of dry farming as
well as from irrigated tracts.
Our city water supply is unsur-
passed, coming from the perpetual
SHOWS of Mount Ashland, giving an
abundance of clear, pure, cold, noun
tain water.
Ashland is primarily home town.
The school system is one of the best
and most complete in the state. There
are two grade schools and one high
school. All practical branches are
taught, including athletics. Ashland
is a temperance town having a good
moral atmosphere. The Chautauqua
is held annually, bringing us the best
talent in the land
Our park system deserves notice
The sixty acres of natural beauties
far surpass any that man could Gre
ate. Free auto camp grounds in this
park make a great attraction to the
ever-increasing number of tourists.
This camp is equipped with kitchen,
gas for cooking, rustic tables and
places for tents. Every tourist who
stays there has a good word to say
for Ashland. The park has fountains
of lithia, sulphur and soda water,
all of which have medicinal values
Trains run through Ashland from
Portland and San Francisco, stop
ping here twenty minutes. Also the
Pacific Highway runs directly thru
our city after passing over one ol
the finest mountain roads in the
land. Hunting and fishing are fine
and close at hand.
Our climate is invigorating, the
temperature seldom above 80 degrees
in summer or below fifteen degrees
in winter. Last year we had 2OE
clear days.
I know you would be delighted
with Ashland if you would come and
see it. Your sincerely.

Police Would Get II.

The talk of parents at home about
conditions in the police department
made a deep impression on the mind
of a twelve-year-old boy who was be-
fore Judge F. ]. Lehr In juvenile court
for stealing bicycle. The court had
lectured the boy and his three com
panions on the disgrace of stealing
and finally asked the boys what they
thought about stealing.
Now suppose everybody were to
steal" the court suggested, land then
what do you think would become of
all of our property"
"Oh. the police would get every
thing" was the boys quick response.
