hard at times to get out. When peo-

of paying interest it is usually good
idea to do so. 1t does not require that

anything it is free and here it is: If
you can pay off that mortgage and

Non-Catholics often wonder what
is the significance of the Forty Hours
devotion. Here is an explanation
which carries with it exact informa
ton: In atonement to God for the
many insults and sacrileges offered to
him, Catholic churches all over the
world, once a year, hold 40 hours de-
votion. For 40 hours the Blessed Sac
rament is placed on exhibition in the
ROlu HIOHoIIdhCSS Oh Inc hiSh eieSNi

in alteration. The sacrament is never
left alone. The ceremonial is ages
old The 40 hours during which the
sacrament is exposed, represent the
40 hours the body of the Lord lay in
the tomb.

Ladies Plan to Turn Weedy
Vacant Lots Into Garden Plots

Mrs. Perozzi, Mrs. Chattin and Mrs.
Briscoe have been placed in charge
of movement for the Identification
of vacant lots. Rather than have the
tangle of weeds which make the aver
age vacant lot such hideous travesty
of the city beautiful idea, the ladies
have decided to ask owners of such
lots to turn them over to the school
children for planting in vegetables
and flowers. Thus what is now
waste land will earn a profit, the
children will be kept busy during the
summer and vast improvement will
be made in the appearance of eye

That nearly all of the lot owners
will gladly let their property be used
free of charge for such a purpose is
foregone conclusion as it would en-
hanee the value of the property. The

OrchardiStS Plan
For Irrigation

.Orchardists and landowners in the
district lying south of Medford and
on the south side of Bear creek have
organized an irrigation project. The
proposition is to use water from Bear
creek, using the old Phoenix mill
ditch and a five-mile extension ditch
as carriers. The Bear creek water
rights are held by the Roguelands
company. The company agrees to
finance and build the emergency irri-
cation project at actual cost, the con-
tracts to expire and the payments to
apply when the high line canal is
completed in the valley. The cost of
the project is estimated at $4,000.
Engineers have declared the project
feasible. The plan is fathered by
Welborn Beeson of Talent and w. A.
Sumner of the klamath orchards.
If the project is a success water
will be ready by the first of May, and
will insure the final development of
the heavy setting of fruit in that vi
cinity. The present season has been
a very dry one and the fruitgrowers
are beginning to get anxious over the
possibility of another summer as dry
as last years.

Some Pretty
Quick Work

The first suggestion of the scenic
drive development now completed
around the summit of Sentinel hill
was made by F. w. Watson to the
city council last August. Then it
was the hope that within possibly
two years steps might be taken to
reduce the grade. But the council
took hold of the matter with a will.
Preliminaries were at once COM
menced, rights OF way secured and
work started. It's completion is a
distinct triumph, both in point Of
time and results, for no possible i'm
provement could have been accom-
plished for the money that meant as
much to the future of Ashland. En-
tirely aside from the springs devel-
opment that drive is worth half a
million dollars, Tor being of easy ac-
cess to autos AS it is, it will prove of
sufficient drawing power to attract
thousands of automobiles during the
summer months and viii establish

Council Meets
Again Tonight

The city council met in adjourned
meeting last night. Several ladies of
the Civic Improvement Club appeared
before the city fathers and asked the
council to take up the matter of the
removal OF debris which has been
thrown onto the motor depot grounds
by residents OF the vicinity. AS a
result of the agitation started by the
ladies the council will take over the
proposition of cleaning up the
grounds and will plant lawns and
flowers and make a beauty spot out
of the desolate appearing grounds.
Mrs. Gard was spokesman for the la
dies.
Mrs. Connor brought up the matter
of a dilapidated shack at the corner
of Dewey and Blaine streets which is
owned by Mr.. Davis of Talent. The
matter was referred to the sanitary
committee.
The unsanitary condition of an old
barn on Harrison street was brought
up and will be looked into by the

Restaurant Man
Attempts Suicide

H. N. Lowe, proprietor Of the Co
lumbia Cafeteria, attempted suicide
in his apartments about midnight
Tuesday. He fired revolver bullet
into his left side just above the heart.
The bullet passed clear through his
lung and lodged against the skin of
his back, but in some remarkable way
did not sever an artery and failed to
cause his death. Mr.. Lowe is now
out OF danger at the Sanitarium. He
left two letters, one to his wife and
one to his father. The attempt to
take his own life came as a result of
a combination of circumstances. Mr..
Lowe has been in poor health for
some time and has had considerable
business trouble which preyed upon
his mind.
Mr.. Lowe came here from Los An
geles to take charge OF the Cafeteria
and has made the place popular eat

Tree Specimens
For Park

The park board are the recipients,
this spring, of a number of donated
tropical shrubs and trees. The latest
is Chinese umbrella plant from Miss
Ewing and a rare and very tropical
native called the Seijoa, presented by
Mrs. Charles Hargadine. The Seijoa
bears delicious fruit in its native
cline and will be tried as an expert
ment by the park board to see if it
can be made to thrive in this lati-
tude. No doubt but that the Chinese
umbrella trees will thrive here, for
in the Oklahoma climate, where the
winters are frequently more severe
than the average winter here, the
writer successfully grew them, and
can testify to their superb beauty.
In the climate where the pines and
the palms meet" they should do well.

Summer House in
Boulevard Park

Under the direction of the park
commission a summer house is to be
erected in the center of the triangu-
lar park on the Boulevard at the in
tersection of Iowa street. This park
is one of the most beautiful in the
city at the present time, and when
the trees in and around it have fully
matured it will be still more beauti-
full. Walks have been laid in to the
center and work on the summer
house will go forward at the earliest
possible time.
The residents of the far east end
of town often find the long walk is
very tiresome and will appreciate the
resting place. The park is just a
few blocks from the center of town
and makes an ideal short walk.

Rustic PergOla
On, Prospect Point

A beautiful rustic pergola perched
on the brow of Prospect Point is one
.of the attractions planned by the park
board. The pergola will be placed at
the north edge of the grove of trees
on the face OF the point and will be-
within few feet of Glenview Drive.
The shade from the trees behind and
the breeze which always caresses the
face of the hill will make the pergola
an ideal place to spend a pleasant
afternoon. From this spot may be
had a beautiful view of the entire
valley, and we can confidently prOph-
esy that the rustic resting place will
be one of the most popular places in
Ashland during the coming summer.
The spot upon which il is proposed
to erect the pergola is just above the
water main which crosses the drive
just below. and it will be an easy
matter to install bubbling fountains
for drinking and proper drainage.
The trail is broad enough to drive a
car over and will no doubt be graded
so that it can be used for this. Mr..
Taverner has agreed to furnish the
poles for the building and has al
ready selected beautiful piece of fir
for Rlagpole.
The location for the pergoTa is on
the property of the Carter Land COM
pany, but no trouble Is expected in
the matter OF securing permission to
build, as Mr.. Carter is known as one
OF Ashland's most public spirited cit
izens and will undoubtedly give his
permission after looking into the
proposition.

Will Make Park
Out of Cemetery

The City Federation of Women s
Clubs committee who have the matter
of the Identification of Mountain
View cemetery in charge. wish to
thank all those who aided in the
work either by donating labor or
money. The burial grounds have
been greatly improved through the
efforts of the club ladies. Driveways
have been laid out and trees planted
along the drives. The grounds have
been cleaned up and shrubs planted.
The unoccupied parts have been spad-:
ed and will be planted in lawn. 1t is
planned to gravel the driveways,
pavement being unnecessary owing
to the nature of the soil.
The ladies cordially urge that all
lot owners cooperate with them in
the removal of copings which have
been built around some of the lots.
All of the up-to-date cemeteries have
done away with this custom and are
now making uniform parks out of the
cemeteries. 1t is planned to make
one stretch of green lawn out of the
Mountain View cemetery as it will
then be possible to keep it in uniform
shape. Lot owners are requested to
look into the proposition so that work
may go forward.
The committee who have the ceme-
terry work in charge is composed of
Nesdames C. B. Lamkin, chairman;
F. G. McWilliams, A. D. Graham,
Minnie Rondeau, L. S. Brown, Ira
Shoudy and Miss Suzanne Homes.
