Every Local Man Out Of Work
TO Be Put On This Month

Every man in Ashland, carpenters,
concrete workers and workingmen,
who are now out of work will be en-
ployed within the next two weeks.
There are now about one hundred
men employed altogether on the vari-
Gus phases of the park development
and the work of tearing down old
buildings and the like. Thirty old
buildings are being removed from the
property recently purchased for the
Lithia park. The plans for the park
are now being prepared by Landscape
Artist McLaren in San Francisco and
should arrive the first of the week.
AS soon as the plans get here work
will be rushed and an additional hun
dred men will be put to work.

Duryea Addresses
Commercial Club

VI. j. Duryea, Ashland's new pub
licity man, spoke before the Com
mercial Club Monday evening and
told of the impressions made upon
him by Ashland. He believes that
Ashland has wonderful future
ahead as resort city and that the
natural attractions here outrival those
of any resort city in the world. Mr..
Duryea has visited many of the re-
sort cities of the country and knows
whereof he speaks. He says that
nothing can hinder the development
Of great resort here If every citizen
gets behind the projects now under
way and which will be taken up later,
and boosts to the best of his ability.
Mr.. Duryea made 1t apparent that he
has come to Ashland to become a citi-
zen and has already fallen so deeply
in love with our beautiful city that
his work Is made a pleasure.

GlenVieW is
High Gear Drive

Iowa is coming to be a much-trav-
eled street since the new Glenview
Drive was completed. 1t is a beauti-
full glide from the hill down that
street to the Boulevard, Since the
council has declared Glenview a one
way road, which was a wise move
because the road is too narrow to
pass safely, it is found by approach
ing it by the canyon road the entire
distance can be made on high gear.
Street Commissioner Fraley is now
engaged in repairing the old canyon
road, taking out the humps and
smoothing the surface. There are
few scenic drives, if any, on the coast
where automobiles can reach such
heights on high gear, and it is GER
tain there is not to be found more
charming and inspiring scenic drive
on the entire coast Citizens at the
corner of Sherman and Iowa streets
have been lately improving their
premises with new walks and terraces
so that corner is now veritable
beauty spot, 1t is to be hoped the
progressive spirit will spread until
every neighborhood in Ashland will
do likewise. No doubt Glenview
Drive will be much used by people
from down the valley Of evenings,
for it is hoped to light it so it will
afford a charming night way. No
more beautiful view can be imagined
than would be afforded by a night
drive over the heights looking down
on the myriad Of lights, both in Lithia
park and the homes and streets be-
low.

Bubbling Spring
At Exposition

The publicity department of the
Commercial Club is working on plans
for some effective advertising for
Ashland in the Oregon building at
the Panama-Pacific exposition. Man
ager Duryea has been in consultation
with Mr.. Frohbach, who has been
home for a few days, with a view to
arranging for some publicity for Ash
lands mineral waters that will be
unique and attractive.
Mr.. Frohbach reports that he has
been able to hold a space twelve feet
square at one end of the southern
Oregon exhibit for Ashland. This
space is so located that il can be ap-
preached by visitors to the exhibit
from three sides. 1t is proposed to
utilize this valuable space by con-
structing a bubbling spring of water
as a medium to exploit Ashland S
greatest asset-her springs of living
water The spring will be built of
rocks, with ferns and MOSES placed
so as to give it the appearance of
nature itself A small pump, operat-
ed by electric motor, will cause the
water to boil up as it does in our own
springs, and, if possible, air will he
forced through to give the appearance
of gas bubbling to the surface in the
manner it occurs in our springs.
Pictures of Ashland and signs calling
attention to Ashland's famous lithia
springs will be placed about this
spring, and literature descriptive of
our city and the many attractions ii
has to offer the tourist and home
seeker will be distributed to those
who visit this unique advertisement.
1t is believed this form Of advertis-
ing will make a greater impression
than the distribution of water, for
Mr.. Frohbach reports this is being
overdone at the exposition. ThoU
sands Of people will see this repro
duction of a living spring, and the
novelty of it will make a lasting i'm
preston on their minds.
AS soon as Mr.. Frohbach returns
to San Francisco he is going to have
estimates prepared of the cost of in
staling this feature. If It is not
prohibitive the department will have
the work done at the earliest possible
moment.

Railroad Me1
Back Duryea

Ashland's new publicity manager
has always enjoyed the confidence
and friendship of the officials of the
railroads serving the people of Ore
go5s 1t was very largely on account
of the Recommendations of officials
of the Southern Pacific Company
that Mr.. Duryea was employed to
handle the publicity campaign for
Ashland. Some idea of the opinion
the prominent officials of the South
ern Pacific Company have of his abil.
ity may be gathered from the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Charles S. Fee,
general traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific, which was received yes
terday:
Dear Mr.. Duryea; I have jlst
learned that you have been appointed
to the position of manager, publicity
work, city of Ashland. | congratu-
late you on your appointment and |
congratulate the city of Ashland in
being able to secure the services of a
man so well fitted for the position.
Wishing you success in your new
work and with kind regards, believe
me, Very truly yours,

Night Celebration
To Greet Bell

The famous Liberty Bell which
Dealed forth the news of the signing
of the Declaration of independence
of the American colonies will start
on its western journey on July 5, ac-
cording to the itinerary fixed by the
committee of the council of the city
of Philadelphia.
According to the scheuule fixed the
bell will leave that city on July 5
and take ten days to make the trip
across the continent, stopping at diff
ferent points along the route so that
the citizens will have an opportunity
of seeing this historic relic of
American freedom. The bell is due
to arrive in Portland on the 18th of
July at 6 a. m, where it will remain
until noon. But two stops will be
made between that city and Roseburg
"a stop of an hour will be made at
Salem and one of / 5 minutes at 'Eu-
gene. The train is due in Roseburg
at S:15 and will remain Is minutes.
This schedule will bring the bell
to Ashland after midnight, but stren-
uous efforts are being made to have
the car opened and the bell exhibited
here. In a stirring speechN at the
Commercial Club meeting Monday
evening Homer Billings stirred up
the patriotic ardor of those present
and it seems assured that big crowd
will greet the relic in Ashland. Be-
sides seeing the bell Ashland will gain
much glory as the city which stayed
up all night to show its patriotism.
At any rate we aren't going. to miss
a chance to see the nations most hon
ored relic and pay our tributes. Are
you?

NUMBER 5
Volcano Plugged
Say Scientists

Various observers have given their
opinion that there is no danger of
California's volcano, Mt. Lassen, in
creasing much beyond it's present
magnitude, because 1t is so distant
from the sea that, according to their
theory, there is no possibility of suf-
ficient leakage OF water to transform
it from a minor to a great volcano.
According to this theory, volcanoes
are simply explosions of pent-up
steam, caused by water leaking into
the heated deeper strata of the
earth's crust, and the explosions of
Mt. Lassen are attributed to local wa
ter supplies from rain and snow,
which would be obviously Inadequate
to produce anything much exceeding
what has already happened, since the
volcano became active a year ago
But against this theory is the fact
that there are lava flows in the Las
sen region which are evidently recent
enough to have been produced while
Lassen was just as far from the sea
as it is now. The great lava flow of
northern California belongs to a for
mer geologic age, when the distribu-
ton of seas and continents may haye
been radically different from the
present one. But there are minor
streams and cones, sufficient to make
what would now be called a great vol
cano, which cannot be more than a
few hundred or at most a few thou
sand years old. The map of the earth
has not altered appreciably during
that time and any argument for the
/ ,mpossibility of a great eruption of
Mt. Lassen would apply exactly as
well to any period within the present
geologic age as it does now. Possibly
the news, just received, that both the
old and new craters of Mt. Lassen
have been filled to the top, apparently
! by the upheaval from below of their
bottoms, may be the first step toward
the determination OF this matter. II
the source OF the eruption is local
water it will decrease the access of
that water to the heated strata be-
low and will make further eruptions
less likely. IT, on the other hand,
the source of the water is deeper and
7
will prevent relief of the pressure by
! frequent minor eruptions> and will
/ therefore prepare the way for a great
eruption, which may blow the whole
top off the mountain, when it occurs.
Evidently California's volcano is eth
er just ending or Just beginning its
real career, according to what that
career is going to be.

Oregon Fruit
Exhibit Wins

Exposition Grounds, San Francisco,
Cal.-Oregon has scored a tremen-
dous triumph at the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition by being
awarded the gold medal for her hor-
ticultural exhibit. The jury on
awards was made up of eminent hor-
ticulturists from the Netherlands, the
east, Japan and California.
The competition was extremely
keen ,and Oregon won over magnifi-
cent exhibits from all over the world,
many of the states and all the Pacific
coast states. Oregon's exhibit cost
the state $4,000, Washington's S
$500 and California's much larger
sum. c. N. Ravli1 of Hood River,
chief Of horticulture for Oregon, lays
his success to the fact that he pre-
pared an all Oregon exhibit, even the
frame work OF the Oregon section
being of Oregon logs, the floors of
Oregon timbers, the hedges of Oregon
shrubs and plants, the fruit and flow
or exhibit being varied, fully repre-
senting the state. This is the first
time California has been beaten horti-
culturally.
1t is a magnificent thing for the
state and will boost 1t horticulturally
to thousands of people now thronging
the buildings.

Make Plans for
Quiet Fourth

Ashland will not celebrate the
Fourth of July in the usual fireworks
and parade style, but will no doubt
entertain fully as many people as the
lower valley cities that are planning
big celebrations. Probably four thou
sand local people will prefer a quiet
day in the park to the dust and con-
fusion of big celebration. At Mon
day evenings Commercial Club meet
ing the proposition was discussed and
it was decided that a monster basket
picnic in the park with everyone
bringing their own basket would be
one feature. A band concert for the
afternoon will probably be arranged.
L. s. Brown brought up the idea and
together with F. H. Walker and II. G.
Enders were appointed committee
to make arrangements. No doubt a
thousand people will come up from
the lower valley who prefer a quiet
day to a noisy celebration. It Is not
the intention of the club to buck the
attractions of the other celebrations,
but to furnish quiet entertainment
for those who prefer that kind of an
independence day. Ashland's big
celebration features are being re-
served for the formal opening of the
Lithia park, when the entire valley
will be invited to help celebrate the
opening OF new era. ISIS '

Bryan Resigns and
Note Goes Forward

William Jennings Bryan, secretary
of state, has resigned and his resig-
nation accepted by the president. Mr..
Bryan parts the best of friends with
Mr.. Wilson 4nd will continue to ac-
cord him his political backing, but
believes he can further his lifelong
principles in regard to peace policies
better as a private citizen than as an
official. The resignation came as a
result of the failure to agree over
the note to Germany, Bryan advocat-
ing policy which would secure peace
at any price, and Wilson and the rest
of the cabinet standing for a firm ex-
preston of the United States deter
mination to hold Germany to interna-
tional law in regard to neutrals.
Robert Lansing is now acting as
secretary of state, and signed the
note which was forwarded to Ger
many yesterday. A permanent secre-
tary will be named later ,
The American note to Germany
definitely setting forth the policy of
the United States was cabled at
o'clock yesterday and will be made
public tomorrow.
The chief point upon which the
president and Mr.. Bryan disagreed
was in regard to Americans taking
passage for the war zone. Bryan
advocated warning Americans against
taking passage on vessels belonging
to belligerent nations, while Wilson
and the rest of the administration
hold that Germany should observe the
established rules in regard to vessels
carrying neutrals.

few local men who really want to
work are unemployed and the park
work will take care of these, so that
every man in Ashland will be busy.
1t has been the policy of the
springs commission and will be the
policy of the Smith-Emery people to
employ only local men, thus keeping
every possible cent in Ashland. A
conservative estimate places the
amount which will go into the pock-
cts of Ashland workingmen at $780,
900.
Smith, Emery & Co. are now ready
to order their pipe, and by the time
the park work is completed they will
be ready to take over the local men
for their work. In this way all of
the money for labor goes back to
Ashland men, who will spend it in
Ashland.

Says Exhibit
Is Effective

II. o. Frohbach came up from San
Francisco Tuesday morning and will
return today accompanied by his wife
and daughter. Mr.. Frohbach informs
us that the Jackson county exhibit
of which he is in charge is in first
class condition and ranks high above
the average county exhibit.
He says that so far no Strawberries
have been entered for prizes from the
Rogue River Valley and but one lot
from the entire state. Washington
berries are severely handicapped by
the distance and liability of the ber-
ries arriving in poor condition, and
therefore Oregon berries stand a
good chance and most assuredly
should be entered as it would be a
splendid advertising feature. Here
after fruits will be judged only on
Saturday mornings and entries from
here should be sent not later than
Thursday afternoon.
Thus far the only cherries shown
have been California Bings, Royal
Annes and Lamberts. The best show
ing is facing of ninety to the half
section of ten-pound box. Jackson
county can beat this and should get
in. Those who have fine fruit should
communicate with Manager Rand of
the Ashland Fruit and Produce Asso-
citation at once.

$4,000 Gallon Flow
From New We'll

Smith, Emery & Co. have devel-
oped a new lithia well which flows
approximately 10000 gallons per day,
The new well is located about fifty
feet above the old spring on the hill.
The engineers are not yet fully salts
fled, however, and will drill still an
other well lower down. With the
development of these wells Ashland
will have far larger amount of
lithia water than is necessary, but the
Smith-Emery people wish to accure a
large enough flow to provide for fu-
ture demands.
