Arant'S Efforts To
Gust Steel Fail

William +. Arant cannot compel
Secretary Lane to reinstate him as
superintendent of the Crater Lake
national park, according to the de-
cision of Justice Stafford of the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court at
Washington.
Arant, who was removed when he
refused to resign, set up the claim
that he was entitled to the protection
of the civil service law, and could be
removed only on written charges.
The court finds that Arant was not
within the classified civil service, not
having been appointed after eXamina-
tion, but being a personal appointee
of the secretary of the interior, and
therefore subject to removal at the
will OF the secretary.

New Literature
Being Prepared

The publicity department has in
course of preparation very unique
and striking piece OF literature that
will set forth Ashland's advantages
as resort city. The preliminary
sketch for the cover design has been
shown to many of our citizens and
all who have seen it were favorably
impressed with it. The cover will be
printed in three-colOr work, and will
be typical or Ashland's greatest asset
in the way of curative waters. Fifty
thousand OF this new piece OF lltera-
ture will be printed and sent broad
cast over the United States. A large
supply will be sent to the exposition
to be given to visitors to the southern
Oregon exhibit and thousands will be
given TO those passing through on the
trains. 1t is believed this little book
let, because of its unique character
and attractiveness, will give the city
an unusual amount of publicity.
In addition to this the department
has received permission to place al
buns of choice pictures of the scenic
attractions of Ashland on all the OBJ
scrvation cars of the Southern Pacific
Company. These pictures will be
taken by Mr.. Stevenson especially for
this purpose. During the season
hundreds of people will see some
thing of the beauty of our city and
its surroundings through the medium
of these albums 1t Is the hope OF
the department that these pictures
will inspire many OF the travellers
who see them with a desire to view
with their own eyes the charm and
loveliness of the country we are so
proud of.

Valley Day Will
Attract Attention

Thursday of this week is Ashland
day at the San Francisco exposition.
The Commercial Club has decided not
to make any efforts to send down a
big delegation or to put on any fea-
lures at the exposition on the city
day. The local club and the clubs of
the other cities of the valley are
working together to make Rogue Riv-
er Valley day, which has been set for
August 10, memorial day at the ex-
position and one which will attract
the attention of the thousands OF
visitors at the fair to the wonderful
advantages of the valley.
While realizing that a sufficient
number of Ashlanders will be in San
Francisco Thursday to make some OBJ
servance of the day possible, the fea-
lures would not be of a sufficient
magnitude to attract any appreciable
amount of attention, hence the de-
cision to concentrate on Rogue River
Valley day, the 18th of August.
All who are planning to visit the
fair in August should begin planning
now to time their visit so as to include
this day.

Old Firm Springs
Stunning Surprise

The Beebe & Kinney store closing
its doors to prepare the big stock OF
merchandise for sale to the public
comes as a surprise to the many peo-
pie who have traded with this firm
for years.
The Beebc & Kinney store is one
of the well-known stores of this coun-
try. Established years ago, it is
store that has won a good reputation
for fair dealing, a good name for
good, honest merchandise. A store
that has taken years and years of
hard work to build from the founda-
ton up to one of the substantial mer-
camille houses of the southern part
of the state. While Ashland and all
southern Oregon has enjoyed pros
perity along with all parts of the
country, yet conditions are such that
the firm of Beebe & Kinney have de
cided to throw their entire stock on
sale to the public.
There is no doubt that this will be
one of the biggest events ever held in
the selling line in this part of the
country, for this firm is well known
and they are leaving no stone un-
turned in an effort to make a quick
riddance of this stock.
b. w. Craig of San Francisco has
taken charge of the store and will
remain during the selling of the
stock. He comes with a former rec
cord that speaks well for him and the
success of the sale. The doors are
closed and will remain closed while
the stock is being prepared for sale.
The sale is scheduled to start prompt
| ly Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
