Ashland Tidings: 1t seems very
unwise for the voters of Ashland to
ratify the proposed agreement be-
tween our city council and the Cali
fornia-Oregon Power Company, for
the city TO purchase the company's s
plant in Ashland, for the following
reasons, viz: All valuation of said
plant is left in the hands of the coun-
Gil and company, taken from the peo-
pie, and We do not know what the
valuation will be. II had as profit
able a deal to put through as this
seems, ! could we'll afford to pay
a $4,000 commission to any agency
who could induce the people to tie
themselves up by their votes in rati-
flying it, and also buy transformers,
ETC., from the city and donate power
for pumping mineral springs water
for 81 per year as sop of apparent
liberality, as would be not only get
ting the agreed price for my physical

about him. No matter how he came
TO be there, or who he was. He sat
near the orchestra, just as the Oldest
men always seem to snuggle nearest
the pulpit in church. The two girls,
strolling along, noticed him and
stopped 10 ak.
The old man was evidently a bit
hard of hearing. He seemed to "get"
the orchestra all right, but with ordi-
nary human tones he had trouble.
The girls, however, were more than
willing to talk loud in his ear, and
they did. They wanted TO know if
he was having a good time, and they
joked him about not dancing, and
essayed to picture TO him how popu-
lar he would be if he ever took the
floor"
In shrill voice he informed them
"dancin' amt what it used to be-"
but he liked to see everybody have
a good time.
The point of this is that modern
girls DO talk nicely to old men, once
in a while. Perhaps you thought
they didn't.

There are so many diyersing
opinions about who and what God is
they can hardly be counted, and none
shall deny the right of his own con-
ceDtions on this important subject.
We read in the Bible that Enoch
walked with God and that Moses
talked with God. There are those
who believe Enoch actually walked
and Moses actually talked with the
Almighty, as we do with our fellow
mortal men nowadays.
But the writer presents this as his
conception of that Scriptural narra-
tive: That Enoch and Moses, alone
by themselves, had good thoughts,
exalted ideas, and returning from
this sojourn by themselves, felt and
were better men. Who does not, in
this later day, have this experience?
Who shall put it as leap from
the sublime to the ridiculous TO say
that, from the turmoil of the city with
its social problems, its ceaseless
struggle with the publicity Of evils,
its worries about the future genera
ton, its forebodings that the world
in general is headed straight for the
fiery pit in a sulphur-propelled jit-
ney-who shall say it is going too
far to assert that, under the waving
trees of which California is so proud,
in that pure and balmy night air, it
is not possible to walk and talk
with God" in Mckinley Park?

You CAN find what you're looking

Did any one ever deny the absolute
inability Of the hell-holes to hurt the

The old Greek maxim was, "a
sound body, sound mind"
But a sound mind has lot to do
with a sound body. A little clean
thinking will do a world of sweeping

where it came from and where it be-
longs.
Somebody stand up and say why,
without blinking, the world is get

world, only better. The trouble is,
where there is sin nowadays we seem
to parade it more than we do the
other thing.

The music played on and on, and
the musicians perspired an perspired.
Now it was two-step, now waltz.
A party of picnickers entered the
pavilion from the grounds outside
where the city provides benches and
tables and contrivances to heat cof-
fee and tea. And say
Honest to goodness!
There were four husbands walking
with four wives. And each man was
with his own wife. And they were
laughing just as though they were
happy. They SPARED for an open
ing" as the sporting editor says, and,
getting it, they danced. 1t was pret-
ty crowded on the floor by that time,
but they grinned when their toes
were stepped on, and, after the num-
ber was over and the encore-there's
always an encore at the park-these
same four copies punched off togeth-
er and had a talk-fest till the music
started.
So if anybody wants to know
what's become of the old-fashioned
wife who went to places with her hus-
band-why, she's out at Mckinley
Park. The same is true of the old
fashioned husband who used to be
seen in public with his wife. He's
there.
When it was still daylight the mu-
sic began for the kiddies. The city
Of Sacramento has begun, this year,
to see that the little folks have their
dances, too. More than 100 cute lit
tie girls in white party dresses and
boys in wondrous big bow ties con-
trolled the floor for an hour and only
yielded it when the order came that
it was grown-ups' time.

ON OUR CAMP GROUND.

(From Santa Cruz, Cal.,' Sentinel.
At the last Chamber of Commerce
meeting a letter was received from
the city of Ashland, Ore, stating that
Ashland possessed a very fine camp
ing ground open to the travelling au-
tomobile tourists without charge, to
remain there as long as they desired.
The letter urged local people to
visit Ashland, try its mineral springs
and partake of its hospitality. Simi-
lar letters have been sent wherever
results might be expected throughout
the coast states.
Our readers will no doubt remem-
Der Walter Fogg's Ashland letter
published in the Sentinel when he
took his "Gipsy" auto trip. He and
his wife had not expected to linger
in Ashland, but they were made TO
feel so welcome in the public grove
that they remained there week and
took in some of the Chautauqua ses-
sion then in session there, and which
was largely attended.
The editorial in yesterdays Senti-
mel concerning Ashland's plan of Of
fering free camping facilities to visit
ing autoists caused this office to re-
ceive a prompt visit from E. J.. Far
low, now of SO Wood street, Sea-
bright, but recently of Ashland. Mr..
Farlow has been a resident of ASH
land, Ore, for the past forty-seven
years and mas been coming here to
spend the winter for the past five
years.
He praises the Ashland idea as be-
ing worthy of imitation. He says au-
tomobile drivers are the best adver-
tisement a town can have, and that
they are all pralsing Ashland because
of the treatment they are receiving
there, and are sending many other
autoists to likewise partake OF it.
Auto owners from every state in the
union are now enjoying Ashland's
park.
The Ashland park begins within a
quarter of a mile of the city plaza
and extends in the other direction to
the national forest back in the hills. |
Over a hundred acres are included in
the city park alone. There is a GEN.
trail free cook house, containing a
dozen stoves, where gas can be Sc
cured on the installment plan by
dropping a quarter into the meter.
Water is absolutely free, as is also a
place to camp and stand your auto.
The overhanging trees are illuminat-
ed with festoons of electric light, thus
to that extent free light |

Getting back, for the nonce, to
prohibition that doesn't prohibit and
abatement laws that don't abate, and
such things:
One couldn't help thinking how
far away these knotty problems were
from the subject in hand. Nobody

about the saloon question. Nobody
needed abating.
The terrible social evil, the mooted
question of how to bring up our girls,
the burning issue of what to do with
our boys-they all seemed solved.
Nobody worried about 'em.

WILL HAVE SEED CORN SUPPLY
Dean Woods Says Gopher Farmers
Should Be Able to Supply Their
NeighbOrs With Seed

st. Paul, Sept. 2s-"Minnesota will
supply its own seed corn this year and
if the farmers are forehanded they
should help to supply the neighboring
states"
This was the prediction made last
night by Dean A. F. Woods of the
Minnesota School of Agriculture after
he had considered reports from var
ious sections of the state.
The rain and cold weather of the
last few days has not damaged the
corn much, Dean Woods said, but has
retarded it's maturing and makes it
liable to the frosts which may come
at any time from now on.
Dean Woods estimates that there
will be so per cent drop for the
state at large, about a fourth of which
should furnish seed corn.
"Other states will be hard hit for
seed corn this year." he said.
