OREGON HENS NOW LEAD
IN ALL HONOR CLASSES

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.-The July report of the Inter-
national Egg-Laying contest at the
Panama-Pacific exposition shows that
the Oregon Agricultural College
hens are leading in each of the three
honor classes-pen record for term
to July /, pen record for month Of
June, and individual record for term
to July /. Each of the three pens
entered by the college poultry de-
partment is represented in each Of
the three flocks, White Leghorns,
cross-bread and Barred Rock, leads
all the flocks of its class in the
United States.
The preceding report showed that
the Leghorns had reached first place.
This report shows that the o. A. c..
crosses have passed the former lead
ers, the Canada pen, and are now in
second place. The Barred Rocks
have passed their nearest competitor,
Fitzgerald's Leghorns, and are in
fourth place. The report gives the
highest ten in each class, the first
five of which are as follows:
Pen records to July 1: o. A. c..
White Leghorns, 1,O7S eggs; o. A.
C. crosses, 977 eggs; Adams, Can
ada, Wyandottes, 95S eggs; O. A. C..
Barred Rocks, 934 eggs; California
White Leghorns, $50 eggs.
Pen records for June: o. A. c..
Leghorns, 796 eggs; Idaho Wyan-
dottes, 176 eggs; o. A. c. crosses,
III eggs; Lebanon, Ore, Barred
Rocks, 100 eggs; o. A. c. Barred
Rocks, 157 eggs.
Records of the ten highest indi-
viduals for the term to July l show
that an o. A. c. cross-bred is first
with 1876 eggs, another of the same
pen second with 1876 eggs, the col
lege White Leghorns are fourth with
1873 eggs, fifth with 1872 eggs and
eighth with 1913 eggs, while a college

A FAIRY STORY.

Once upon a time man bought a
secondhand automobile.
The vehicle was young when Noah
built the ark. Its body looked like
it had been wished on. The wheels
did the corkscrew curve every time
they turned over. The exhaust
sounded lik a fog horn with cold.
TITS cheap at $3.50" declared the
smiling agent.
I'm take it" responded Our Hero.
When he puffed down the street in
the relic no one laughed at him.
The engine ran very nicely and
never baked once.
He didn't stall on the crossings
and get in bad with the cops
Everything went lovely,
After a summers enjoyment with
his machine he went to a sales agency
to trade in his machine on new car.
How much will you give me on
this machine in a trader" asked Our
Hero
Five hundred dollars" was the
reply.
"I'll take it," exclaimed Our Hero.
And he lived happily ever after.

YOU CAN IF YOU WILL.

Would you increase the value oi
your Ashland property If you would
It's easy to do and worth doing.
Get busy on it; clean it up; repair
and paint up; grade your grounds
if they need it; keep your walks in
good condition and add new ones
where required; cut the weeds and
keep them down, both on and adia-
cent to your property; don't throw
trash in the street or the back yard
keep up your fences, if you have
them; grow plenty of flowers and
neat shrubbery, and Make 1T A
PLACE OF BEAUTY.
Then go around and brag like the
dickens to your neighbor about
YOUR place, and keep on Dragging
until you make him jealous of its
beauties and he goes to work and
does the same with his.
Then let him in on the secret and
start him out to rubbing it into his
neighbors, and see that he keeps it
up until they, too, become tired of
the contrast and the Dragging and
get busy on their own property with
a determination to outdo the rest of
you.
And in time the whole town will
become jealous of the property OF
each other and every fellow will be
whooping it up to see who can have
the most attractive place.
Then the travelling public will
come along and take notice, and go
away and talk of the beauties of Ash
land and the thriftiness of our peo-
pie, and other people will want to
come and live in such fine commun-
ity.
Isn't it easy to see that your prop
erty then will be worth nearly double
what it is today?

Build Road if
Mine Will Operate

The owners of the Blue Ledge mine
state that operations at the mine are
being held up by lack of a road,
which they estimate would cost
$4,000 and should be built by the
county. In an article in the Medford
Sun, Judge Tou Velle, states the pol
icy of the county as follows
If the owner of the Blue Ledge
mine will give the county court any
assurance of operating the mine pro-
viding the road is put in shape, the
county will proceed at once with the
road work, even if we have to mort
gage the court house. We stand
ready to cooperate in every way and
always have. But we have never re-
ceived any definite assurance of oper-
alton, and we are not justified in
making the expenditure without.
81 do not believe that a s., 900 road
expenditure by Jackson county is
hating the operation of a mine on
which a million and a half dollars
has been spent in development work
by a multi-millionaire owner, espec-
tally with copper selling at over 20
cents a pound. Nor do believe that
such an immense property can be
profitable operated with auto trucks
to haul ore forty miles over mountain
grades.
jackson county stands ready to
do everything in its power to assist

AS OTHERS SEE Us.

1t is well, when engaged in work
such as Ashland Is now undertaking,
to pay attention to the outside view.
Cities most talked about attract
strangers quickest. People are talk
ing about Ashland from San Diego to
Seattle. They see greater possibili-
ties in our new development than our
most optimistic boosters. Here are
some of the editorial comment from
coast dailies:

Gold Hill Cement
Plant Will Operate

/ ]. G. Burch, president Of the Beav-
er Portland Cement Company,
which ic constructing a large cement
plant at Gold Hill, writes the Mail
Tribune that the plant has been
financed in the east and construc-
tion work will recommence at once.
The company turned down two offers
made by the coment trust which
would have resulted in the closing
down of the property and the with
holding of the lime deposits from
development and been a black eye to
the country Mr.. Burch writes as
follows:
II have just returned from con-
ference with our people in the east
at which we decided to put up the
balance of the money required and
complete the plant at once. Some
of the machinery is already loaded
and on the way and as soon as it
arrives active construction work will
be begun and the plant will be put
in operation as soon as machinery
can be delivered and installed.
I'VE will furnish agricultural lime
as a by-product and be prepared to
make shipments of this by the first
of September, but will not have any
cement upon the market until thirty
to sixty days later
while we realize that building
operations are at a log ebb in this
state, We are confident that the low
est point has been reached and the
tendency from this time on will be
for an increase in this line of busi-
ness and I'VE are backing our judg-
ment by making the additional in
vestment required in complete this
plant.
Having made this large invest
ment in the Rogue River valley, we
are intensely interested in everything
that will help to develop the natural
resources of that section, as well as
all other parts of the state of Ore
gon."
In an interview in the Portland
Journal Mr.. Buch is quoted as fol-
lows:
81 found ready financial backing
in the east. Oregon is looked upon
as a good field for investment in our
line. We will make specially of
Portland cement with an agricultural
by-product, and will be prepared to |
ship the agricultural lime within
thirty days. Portland cement will |
be shipped thirty to sixty days later.
In 1916 We will add a hydrating
lime plant. We will be enabled to
furnish lime fertilizer for use on the
farms at greatly reduced rates.
There is a good demand for lime fer
tilizer in this state. We expect to
employ seventy-five men at the plant
when in full operation.
Cement shipments will be made |
into northern California. Ours will |
be the first cement plant in the state
of Oregon. At present Oregon
money is being sent outside of the /
state for its cement supply. We
have plenty of first-class material for
the manufacture of cement close to
the plant"

in opening up the mine. Placing the
blame for the do-nothing, shutdown
policy of the mine owners on the
countys poor roads is nonsense. We
stand ready to build boulevard if
necessary to secure the operation of
great copper mine"

terests. City people, for instance
have become, through the instrumen
tality of the automobile, more ia
miliar with the country and the peo
pie of the country have become bet
ter acquainted with the city. Neigh
boring counties and even neighborinG
states are no longer distant region:
that are known only by hearsay, fol
the automobile has made possible fire.
uuent trips that result in bettel
knowledge of what is going on II
other places.
In the west, where the immigration
problem is one that must always be
studied, the automobile has opened
up new possibilities that must not be
neglected by communities that are
seeking to attract new population
a fact that has been made peculiarly
apparent during the present year OF
heavy tourist travel. Tourists in
great numbers are passing through
every western city and county, and
many of them are at least tentatively
considering new homes. Others have
no intention OF seeking new locations
I but will talk to people who are pros
pective homeseekers. These are av-
enues of publicity that must not be
I overlooked if the best community ad-
vertising results are to be obtained
at the lowest cost.
First. of course, in the list of at
fractions that are likely to appeal to
the automobile tourist, are general
business conditions and opportunities,
climate and scenery, and the prosper
GUS appearance of the country. These
are things that depend upon indi-
vidual enterprise and can not be af-
fected, except indirectly, by the public
interests that are seeking to bring
new population. Western Oregon has
little to fear in this direction, for the
general appearance of the country is
attractive in the extreme.
But there are many attractions
that can be provided and that will
pay large dividends in favorable no.
tice and comment. The most impor-
tant of these, probably, are better
roads. Every automobile traveller has
warm spot in his heart for good
road, and the community whose high
ways are good will remain long in
his memory and will receive his
praise at every opportunity. An ade-
quate and comprehensive system OF
road signs is another convenience
that greatly impresses the tourist.
But, of all the means OF gaining
publicity from automobile travel, the
one that probably pays the best re-
turns on the investment is the pro-
vision of adequate and comfortable
camping facilities for the large num-
bers of tourists who prefer to spend
their time in the open. The city of
Ashland has taken the lead in this
direction and it is reaping a harvest
of favorable comment. It has set
aside a beautiful little park for the
use of travellers and has provided
conveniences almost equal to those to
be found at home. Tourists who en-
JOY this civic hospitality are so i'm
pressed that they tell of it wherever
they get the chance, and the name of
Ashland is carried far and wide.
All of these methods of attracting
the favorable attention of those whe
travel in the way made possible by
the automobile are worthy of study
by every city and town and hamlet
that is seeking new population
which means every one in Oregon.
The automobile has widened the
scope of community promotion.

The business OF mail order houses
is claimed to have increased over 10
per cent since the parcel post started.
Also the business of the express COM
panies in returning the unsatisfac-
tory mail order goods would have
very considerably increased If the
customers did not live so far from
the place where they bought the
goods.
