Valley Fruit Men
Are Organizing

Medford Mail Tribune: The peti-
tions for the signatures of the orch
ardists of the valley who desire to
join the local council of the North
western Fruit Council are being cir
culated among the growers. Mr..
Westerlund of the board of control of
the southern Oregon council requests
that all orchardists that desire to join
and have not already signed up send
their names to him at once. AS soon
as all have signed that Mr.. Wester-
lund thinks will, a meeting will be
called of all the members and ways
and means will be discussed. 1t is
expected that rs or so per cent of all
the growers in the valley will sign
This is one of the biggest and best
things that the valley has had for
some time. 1t will mean an increased
profit OF 100 per cent and a sure mar
ket for all fruit, so all growers sign
up and help boost for organization
and cooperation. 1t is the only way
the fruit grower will ever come into
his own.

Children Run on
New Pathways

Complaints have come in to the city
authorities from several parties that
children arc thoughtlessly running
over newly seeded parkways and
parts OF the parking system. Every
parent in the city should take it upon
themselves to see that their children
understand the harm which such
thoughtlessness does and see to it
that such things do not happen in the
future. Some of the offenders no
doubt know no better, while others
trespass on the parkings in a spirit
of mischievoUsness, but at any rate
stop must be put to such practices.
AS \ whole the children OF Ashland
are the best boosters we have, and if
the matter is put to them in the right
manner it will not be long before the
boy who runs on the new parkings
will receive a calling down from his
fellows.

Work Started on
Park Boulevard

This morning men were put to
work on grading the park boulevard.
Six teams and about thirty men.
This grade runs along by the Chau-
tauqua building and crosses Ashland
creek at the old picnic grounds, after
which it will follow along the timber
line, coming down the creek and join
ing Mill street at the old planning mill.
The grade is being worked out twenty
feet wide, in the clear, and carries a
water grade. The wagon road which
now goes up the creek through the
park will be transformed into broad
gravel walk and no vehicles will pass
over it after the park boulevard is
completed. The decomposed granite
soil from the upper grade will be car
ried down the hill in shoots and
spread on this walk six or eight inches
deep so that the way will always be
dry and clean. The walk is under the
supervision of Engineer Walker and
r. P. Cornelius.

Judge Watson
Is WhiSkerleSS

A stranger appeared in our midst
last Saturday. His voice sounded fa-
miliar and he appeared to know us,
but it required several moments of
careful inspection before we recog-
nized Ashland's old friend, Judge
Watson. The reason? The judge
has numerically shorn the hirsute
adornment men are wont to call whis-
kers from off his physiognomy. Mr..
Watson has been a farmer now for
the past two weeks and it must be
that the whiskers got tangled up in
his rake, or maybe the hired man
made a mistake when he was burn
ing brush, Mr.. Watson is still alive
and happy, but says that he has to
take a friend around with his for
Identification purposes when he visits
the banks.

To EXteYminate
Much Poison Oak

A determined campaign against
poison oak will be the result of agita-
tion started at Friday afternoon
council meeting. This poisonous
shrub is a constant source of danger
to visitors and Ashland residents.
While many are not susceptible to the
poison, many catch it through the
slightest contact, and all poison oak
must be removed where there is a
possibility of the passerby coming in
contact with it. Many q casual Wis
itor to the park has unknowingly
taken hold of the brush and has suf-
fered the painful results. Any one
who has ever suffered from the poison
realizes the effect which it would
have on the tourists opinion of Ash
land.
The oak is found not only in the
park but also along the streets and in
yards. The council will in all prob
ability pass an ordinance making it
compulsory on the part of the prop
erty owEer to grubb out the brush
where there is any liability of the
passerby touching it. The city will
cut it out from the streets. 1t would
be impossible to grubb it out alto
gether without enormous expense and
the council will not ask this to be
done, but it is imperative that it shall
be removed from along the streets
and the drives and trails in the park.
In view of the proposed campaign,
the results of experiments in killing
the brush which are now being car
ried on in Eugene arc of especial in
terest. The Eugene Guard prints the
following:
I'm an effort to exterminate the
poison oak bushes which abound in
large numbers on the south slope of
the butte, L. p. Wygle, superintend-
ent of parks, is experimenting with
strong solution which he applies to
them. The solution consists of ar
senic, caustic potash ard caustic soda,
and is so strong that it literally eats
up the plants, but whether it is strong
enough to entirely kill them or not
remains TO be seen"
If any local person tries this meth
cd they should be very careful in
handling the solution as it is very
poisonous and will burn a hole in
clothing or almost anything else with
which 1t comes in contact.

Unsightly Awnings
Must Come Down

The many old, unsightly and even
dangerous awnings which are a dis
grace to the store buildings upon
which they are hung, must come
down. Nothing lends such an air of
dilapidated shiftlessness to the front
of store as does a tattered old can
vas awning or sagging wooden SUI
perstructure that momentarily prom
ises to descend on the head of the
passerby.
At the last council meeting Mayor
Johnson brought the matter to the
attention of the city fathers and it
was referred to the proper committee,
who will see to it that an ordinance
is passed to regulate awnings If one
does not already exist.
Many Of the property owners will
no doubt remove the Objectionable
features before the law goes into eff.
feet. Some of the awnings besides
being unbeautiful are actually dan
gerous and more than one tall man
has given vent to his feelings after
coming into contact with the iron
rods which support the awnings in
front Of some OF the places of busi-
ness in the city.

Weekly Band
Concerts Possible

About twenty loyal members of the
Ashland band are putting in several
hours every Friday night at band
practice and are making good head
way. All of the musicians are not
turning out as they should, however
and all bandmen are urged to be pres
ent at the regular weekly practice
which will be held next Friday even
ing in the city hall.
A movement is under way to put
the band on a firm financial basis so
that an experienced professional lead
er may be obtained. Under the pres
ent system the leader is donating his
services and lot of valuable time
without remuneration. The bandmen
would turn out better and take hold
of the work better under paid man.
The present organization holds forth
no reward to the players. The band
men are merely devoting their time
in a philosophical manner for the
good of the city. With paid leader
a firmer organization would be per-
fected and better music produced on
public occasions. A weekly concert
in the park this summer will draw
numbers of people from down the
valley and will be enthusiastically
welcomed by all Ashlanders. These
concerts will be forthcoming if the
band gets the right kind of backing.
A good band is an indispensable asset
for a resort city. Ashland has a suf-
ficient number of really high class
musicians to assure fine band pro-
viding the right kind of support is
accorded them.

Police Were Busy
Saturday Night

Patrolman Johnson arrested a boy
at the station Saturday evening and
found in his possession q suit Of
clothes which had been stolen at Hit.
The lad gave his name as William
Ahrendt and his home Portland. The
officers at Hit did not wish to go to
the expense of having him brought
back and he was allowed to go free
and continued on his way to Port
land. The suit was returned to the
wner.
Saturday night several Medford
youths made themselves altogether
too prominent around own while in
various stages of intoxication. One
boy finally went clear under and was
taken in charge by the local police.
He was taken to the police station
and threatened with a night in the
city cooler, but some of his friends
skirmished around and managed to
raise So, which was accepted as bail.
The crowd OF roisterers then returned
to the city of the swinging doors
broken in spirits and pocketbooks.
The offender was due to appear at Q
O'Clock this morning and answer to
drunk and disorderly charges, but
failed to do SO, thus forfetng his
bail.
This business OF Medford's young
hopefuls coming to Ashland to show
off jag Is getting altogether too fire.
quent, and the police will see to 1t
that the next offender suffers the
penalty OF the law and that the affair
receives due publicity.
