The writer knows of a town that
was dead as door nail in the spring
and strangers were unable to get
lodging in the fall, hundreds of them
having to sleep in barns and door
ways. In the meantime hundreds of
new houses had been tuilt during the
summer and were full to the guards
at good rent. The town had 2,400
people when dead; after having been
alive ten years it had 10000 and
was one of the best and solidest
towns in the country. And that city
had never such 4 solid asset upon
which to build as Ashland mineral
waters. That's the truth. Ashland
can do better. However, it takes a
solid front to get that sort of result,
The Commercial Club is the instru-
ment and you are the means,

1--WE CAN DO 1T AND WE WILL;
ASHLAND, ASHLAND, ASH
LANDw

That's the slogan. When that slo-
gan is thoroughly absorbed in the
heart of every citizen solid enough
so each will act upon it, no power on
earth, save earthquakes and war,
will prevent Ashland from making
one of the greatest watering resorts
on the American" continent. 1t will
build a tourist hotel this year with
the other fellows capital it will
build a 100000 water cure sanitar-
ium this year with the other fellows
capital; it will build half a dozen
other hotels this year with the other
fellows capital; it will build dozen
or more apartment houses this year
with outside capital, and will justify
the investment by our own people of
all their surplus funds at home in
finely appointed furnished cottages,
because it will create lively demand
for all OF these and insure good re-
turns on the investment.
I'VE CAN DO 1T AND WE WILL;
ASHLAND, ASHLAND, ASHLAND!
Sing 1t 1t is true.

A watering resort cannot be over
doomed. It is altogether possible for
an agricultural or manufacturing city
to get ahead of its territory and ex-
perience a. harmful setback. Not so,
however, with a resort town. 1t
takes boom to get and keep the peo-
pie coming. We are not directly af-
ter those who come here to stay and
especially those who come here to
make living. We are after the tour
ist who comes to spend a pleasant
and health-giving month and to part
with whatever change he brings with
him. We build up and prosper on
that change. The more they come,
the more change. Incidentally, many
will become enamored of the city and
valley and become valuable perma-
nent residents. And as the valley in
creases in population chances for en-
ployment and occupation will in
crease.

PACIFIC HIGHWAY ELECTION
TOMORROW.

Tomorrow the people OF Ashland
will be called upon to vote on a
charter amendment designed 20 set a
strip of land out of the incorporated
limits near the Billings property so
the Pacific highway can be complet-
ed under the railroad and around
Farnum hill, thus reducing the grade
to under six per cent and completing
the paving from Ashland to Central
Point. The matter has been little
agitated and is likely to go by default
unless citizens attend the polls and
vote tomorrow.
The adoption of the amendment
will result in saving to the city of
some eight or ten thousand dollars.
AS it now stands the property desired
for the highway at that point is with
in the city limits and all expense in
cident to obtaining the right of way
must be born by the city. If the
charter amendment carries the coun-
ty court has agreed to go forward
with the work at once and bear all
the expense incident to the matter.
VOTE FOR THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT TOMORROW and save
this large expense to the city.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

In England, Scotland, France and
some other parts of the continent it
was formerly the custom of the
young people to meet, write each
others or some of their acquaint-
ances' names on a box from which
they were drawn, the men taking
the girls names and vice versa. The
person thus drawing became ones
valentine and for a whole year was
bound to devote himself to the one
who drew him. Sometimes, of
course, this led to real engagements
between the parties, and often
tricks were played in such a way
that the slips of paper fell into the
hands they were meant for. During
the fifteenth century married people
could be chosen as we'll as those who
were not married and often very
valuable presents were exchanged.

PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.

1t takes money to make money.
This year holds great money-making
opportunities for Ashland. There is
no reason why great real estate ac-
tivity should not be experienced here
before the end of the year. Whether
or not it becomes active depends
upon Ashland citizens. First we
must muster at least as much faith
in the springs project as men outside
the city. We must get the full real
ization of what it means to Ashland.
After that let the world know what
we have and how we are handling
it and the work is done. Ashland
should now employ one of the best
descriptive writer's in the country
and establish a permanent publicity
department The kind of a man we
need is not the cheap kind. We must
have a good one because a good one
will write stories interesting enough
that they will be taken by big Sunday
dailes and magazines for the inter-
est there is in them to the reading
public. The man who knows how can
get as much advertising of the resort
feature free as would cost fifty thou
sand dollars at the regular advertis-
ing rates. There is a science in re-
sult-getting advertising. We must
have the services of a scientific ad-
vertising man to furnish proper and
economical publicity for Ashland dur
ing the coming year.
1t takes three or four months time
to get an effective advertising cam
paign properly organized and work
ing. The time to begin is now. Let
the publicity be made while the plant
is being built and Ashland will be
by the time the plant is
completed.

Already climate and scenic envir-
onment have proven powerful enough
to mobilize six thousand people on
Ashland's delightful townsite. They
are not here because of commercial
activity or any other thing but clim-
ate and scenery and healthful condi-
tions. Add to this the attractive
power of valuable mineral waters
practically utilized, of granite and
kaolin, and you have the sum total
of Ashland's possibilities. Cities of
fifty thousand are built on less;

ASHLAND GRANITE.

Opening Of the quarry by the Blair
Company will no doubt arouse new
interest in Ashland granite. The
Pennistons, father and son, probably
the best authority on granite and
certainly the best granite monumen-
tai workmen in the country, have
been wrestling with granite develop
ment here for the past twelve years
with little encouragement. They
have demonstrated the quality of
Ashland stone and have given it a
wide reputation. Ashland already
should be one of the largest granite
centers in the country. All of the
stone taken out at Ayers Spur should
be manufactured here. No good
reason why Ashland granite should
be shipped to Portland for manufac-
ture and from there shipped, fin
ished, to the trade. 1t will make a
big industry and should be built up
here. The Messrs. Permission have
the knowledge and ability to handle
such works. Ashland people should
finance it, for it would furnish
payroll as we'll as prove a good in
vestment.

DR.. and Mrs. Glendon L. Thomas
of Philadelphia stopped off in Ash
land for a days rest a month ago.
They left yesterday. The doctor told
the writer they had stayed thus long
attracted by our splendid winter
climate and scenic environment. The
doctor is a way-up physician and has
travelled much abroad and in Amer
lea. He says Ashland has wonderful
possibilities along tourist lines. He
stopped for day and stayed a
month. That means something. II
is a silent testimony to Ashland's
drawing power-stronger than car

The Legend of st. Valentine.

Perhaps you have heard the legend
of st. Valentine, but if you have
not, here it Is in as small a nutshell
as such saint could be we'll con-
densed: st. Valentine lived long
ago. An emperor ruled him, and the
emperor, whose name was Claudius,
became very jealous of st. Valentine
or FIR. Valentine as he was then
called. And one day Claudius cut
FIR. Valentines head off and ban
ished his remains, so that nobody
should know that he had been be-
headed.
Now why did Claudius do this?
you ask. Well, he did it because FIR.
Valentine became so great a favorite
with the young people that Claudius
was not in their affections at all.
But how did Valentine make him
self such favorite? you still query.
Why, how indeed? How do you sup
pose? How does any man or woman
either, for that matter, become solid
with young people? Why, by help
ing along their love affairs, to be
sure, and giving them every oppor-
tunity to be alone and talk it over.
Now, FIR. Valentine was born
matchmaker and he was always busy
making matches. II he saw two
young people looking at each other
with sheepish eyes, he cast his toga
over his head and sat still, never
stirring for five minutes.
And so FIR. Valentine got himself
disliked by the Emperor Claudiu'
and after Claudius had cut his head
off the young people canonized him
and, upon the good old saints
birthday, would exchange little love
tokens just to keep his memor!
green. The people who had knowr
st. Valentine when on earth tolC
their children about him in aftel
years, and their children told theil
children's children and so 1t has com,
down to us through many children o
children.

The past year has been hard one
commercially throughout the coun-
try. Ashland and the Rogue River
Valley have suffered with the rest.
But hard times for Ashland are over.
With active springs development six
weeks will see Ashland with every
body employed, regular Saturday
night cash payroll of thousands of
dollars and the merchants all trans
acting profitable trade. By the time
that stimulus is over tourists will be
arriving and the Chautauqua will be
in full swing with the best season in
its history. Real estate will begin
to move and new families will be
added % our population. The de-
'mand for hotels will be apparent and
no doubt three or four new hotels
and apartments will be under way.
This will all come about because Ash
land is not going to simply rest on
her laurels in accomplishing the
springs project. She is going to in
augurate vast advertising campaign
that will let the world know, by the
time the work is completed, that we
