PROHIBITION MAY MAKE ASH
LAND WET

January first, 1916, the prohibi-
tion law will go into effect through
out the state and all saloons will be
closed Ashland, of course, has been
dry for years and there has been
little bootlegging and blindpigging.
1t has been easy to keep Illicit liquor
sellers out because those inclined to
drink could get it by an easy jaunt
TO Medford where the saloons were
open. Therefore, men inclined to
slyly fill the demand here were un-
able TO get high enough price for
liquor to justify them in taking the
chance. The closing OF the saloons
at Medford, however, will materially
change the situation. There will no
doubt be more or less blind pigging
there until the law is fully establish
ed. Whisky will likely sell as high
as $500 the pint where it is now
bought in open saloon towns at so
cents the pint. This high price will
prove an incentive to men so in
clined to take chance in the sale of
liquor in Ashland, as well as other
saloonless towns. To what extent
this maintains will depend largely
upon local officials. II city coun-
Gil Is not strong for prohibition no
doubt police force equally lax will
be appointed. Under such circum-
stances it behooves those in favor
of keeping Ashland dry to not go
to sleep at the switch. 1t is more
important now that men elected to
the Ashland city council stand square
on the liquor question than it was
before state saloons were closed.
Henceforth the barter and sale OF
liquor will be so much more profit
able than in the past that many per-
sons heretofore enclined, but afraid
will go secretly into the business
on account Of the enormous profits
the traffic will carry. Ashland should
be sure of one thing. That it has
council which will everlastingly
set upon any man who attempts to
start a blind pig in this city.

RAISING A TOURIST CROP

Henceforth Ashland's best custo-
mer will be the tourist-those at
tracted here by our waters and who
come 10 stay a week, a month, a
year, or who, being charmed by our
environment, will become permanent
residents.
Ashland. as community, it must
be remembered, has neither lands
or houses to sell. Sale and rent
property belong to the individual
citizen, not to the community, and
those who have property to sell must
be let manage sales. The commun-
ity must not attempt to 60 into the
real estate business, nor should its
publicity matter be given that ten
dency.
However, Ashland as a community,
has something to sell which will
prove in great demand, if properly
set before the world through CON-
prehensive and adequate publicity.
The community's saleable asset is
climate, health, recreation. No COM
munity on earth has better or more
attractive and saleable commodity OF
the kind on the market. Ashland
can successfully compete, not only
with American, but European re-
sorts as well in these most potent
and attractive possessions. Our
mineral waters, coupled with our
combination of healthfulness, eli,
mate and recreation grounds, puts
Ashland in rank so high it is be-
yond human possibility to exagger.
ate in the production of the most
glowing attractive advertising matter
so long as our literature sticks to
this text-clinate, health and recre-
alton. These are par excellent and
need not be lied about, for the great
est exaltation cannot make them ap-
pear more attractive than in fact
they are.
No more profitable resources can
be imagined. These can be sold
over and over again and yet kept
forever. To barter them.. as we pro-
pose, does not exhaust them.
Next year we may sell them for a
million dollars and the year after
have enough left to supply the
world.

But is health. climate. recreation
a marketable commodity? Is there
profitable demand enough for it to
I justify its culture and exploitation?
The Tidings has frequently re-
leFred TO the great success achieved
( BY the communities Of Southern Cali
fornia in profitably marketing this
commodity. That section presents
the most prominent example in his
tory OF the great marketable possi-
bilities in the combination. climate,
health and recreation. and Of their
tremendous drawing and holding
power when applied as community
builders where there is little beside
to recommend and nothing to sell.
Los Angeles has developed, on a
barren sand dune, the greatest city
on the Pacific Coast with no other
visable asset save that grown out
OF the barter and sale of climate.
health and recreation.
True, Southern California has
delightful ocean beach and Ashland
has not, but, is that a great disad-
vantage TO Ashland? Look toward
the east. The Atlantic Coast is lined
with beach resorts. yet the Adiron-
dacks and the mountains Of New
England TEEN with health and pleas
ure seekers every year. Every noun
tain spot capable of development for
the accommodation of such has been
profitably adapted to the purpose.
thus illustrating beyond cayil, the
fact that hundreds of thousands of
people love the mountains more than
the beach. Some of these eastern re-
sorts are exceedingly successful,
they are not blessed !
with mineral waters and not one of !
them, save Saratoga, has naturally |
carbonated waters, for Saratoga pro-
duces the only carbondioxide gas
found east of the Rocky mountains.
The natural attractions of South
ern California pale in comparison |
with the natural beauties about Ash
land. There the charm is man-creat-
ed at great cost of money and labor;
here nature has supplied it without |
stint and without cost. Nature has
thus so favored US that Ashland can |
be developed to as great importance
as the best resorts of Southern Cali !
fornia at an outlay Of not to exceed
one penny on the hundred dollars of
what the development there cost.
Southern California has expended
millions of money in publicity and
we are informed by the secretary of
the Commercial body there that their
community advertising has been de-
voted entirely to pushing climate,
health and recreation. 1t has been
left entirely to those directly inter |
ested to push orange groves, lands
and investments. The community has
refused to have any part in that.
Nevertheless, the cumulative force Of

We have big task to successfully
overcome our community disposition

must exercise on our own dispositions
as upon real building. Cutters get
nowhere. The race is to the swift

industriously, and stick.

fornia. 1t is community of beau
tiful homes, so modern and attrac-
tive as to be the first remark of
visitors. All of them, from the grand
palace down to the modest bunga-
low is a model in architecture and is
supplied with every convenience and
comfort that heart can desire. 1t is
home country of homelike homes.
So must be every tourist city if it
would succeed as resort. The class
of persons drawn to a locality in
search of health and recreation will
be content with nothing less. They
will neither live in or be attracted
by run down properties. So, in
Southern California as soon as citi-
zen acquires an old property he re-
models and modernizes it before he
attempts to rent it. That is the third
great secret underlying its marvel
Gus development. Ashland must have
at once number of modern, we'll
appointed furnished bungalows.
Look at the scenic grandeur about
YOU, breath the pure air, take a stroll
into the hills Gods gardens-and
you will be convinced that the archi-
tect of nature fashioned this spot
for the health and Joy of man.
Scarcely yet do We realize this
tremendous resource, bursting with
possibilities. far beyond those upon
which great communities have been
elsewhere raised and thrive. These
are natures gifts bestowed on this
locality centuries ago, but ignored
by its inhabitants. This matchless
twelye-months-in the--year climate,
no less charming in ages gone than
now. This balmy air mas whispered
to the pine cone and laurel berry
time beyond the records of history.
The crystal water of Ashland creek
has rippeld its music to the birds
and nature has spread her beauties
in profusion on the untrod hills and
voiceless canyons for seasons with
out number, all for the delight and
inspiration of men who are not yet
come, for the call of the wild was
lost in the toilsome noise OF the mart
and none were found wise enough
to recognize in these a marvellous
community resource potent enough,
when properly exploited, to attract
thousands upon thousands of health
and pleasure seekers.
Now Ashland is awake to the draw
ing power inherent in these natural
resources and is beginning to under
stand how they can be made a solid
foundation for tremendous commun-
ity advancement by utilizing them,
in connection with our mineral wat
ers, in forwarding an important
health and recreation center.
But, in properly accommodating
them to our use, il We seek the ut
most benefits that inhere in them,
we must learn, remember, heed and
apply the secrets discovered and so
successfully exercised by the people
of Southern California in utilizing
like. but less powerful resources. If
We do that our success will be rela-
lively greater, quicker and less ex-
pensive than theirs, because nature
has provided here greater and easier
resources upon which to build.

Schilling's
Best

exploiting the play ground OF Amer
ica" has resulted in millions upon
millions OF dollars in orchard and
land investment. While the profit
able exchange in selling climate,
health and recreation has gone on
the very force of it has developed
power to build a tremendous and
prosperous community.
Magnificent success, that of South
ern California, but what are the
principal secrets in rearing such a
splendid structure on such a poor
natural foundation? 1t will pay us
to seek attentively for the secret and
in finding profit by it.
In the first place everybody there
stands up for the place. They have
faith in themselves and in their COM
munity and its every enterprise.
While realizing that citrus fruit cul-
ture is not profitable and land values
are too high for safe and profitable
investment, also they realize that
citrus fruit and land is but an in
cident in their development, not the
main resource. Their resource, Of
tremendous drawing power and
building force is climate, health and
recreation. That is the commodity
they offer the tourist with full fai,h
. that they can and do deliver the
goods.
; Those of them who have not yet
visited Ashland think theirs is the
greatest on earth-and next to Ash
land it is-and they stand every
minute ready to contend for the faith
which they possess. Everybody stands
together and whoever the stranger
meets, however untoward the circum-
stance, his adverse criticism is
promptly met with the assurance
that the thing of which he complains
is unusual. Privately your friend
VIII warn you to be careful of your
investments, but, if you hint against
that section as place to live, in
stanter you have a fight on your
hands.
Really the greatest asset Southern
California possesses is its high spirit
ed citizenship. That kind of spirit
Will build temple in the Sahara
desert. That is one of the principal
secrets underlying its marvellous de-
velopment.
In the second place, they have
faith in the community building pos
sibility Of climate, health and recrea-
tion and contribute freely in money
and moral support to community
publicity. They have learned that
funds spent rightly in publicity is
an exceedinly profitable investment.
Already their publicity department
has proven the greatest dividend
paying enterprise in the community
and the money they put into it is ex-
pended with the feeling that it is
as important to their success as the
money invested by the merchant in
goods to sell at a profit is to the
success of mercantile venture. That
is the second big sercet underlying
their marvellous development.
In the next place, every citizen
cooperate with every other citizen
in contributing his share to enchance
the charm of the environment by de-
veloping and beautifying his own
property. An aggregate artificial as
pect presents the fascinating charm
that everybody experiences on enter
