Ashland Logical
Resting Place

There is a rumor that there is to
be an overland automobile service
established between Seattle and San
Francisco to run during the summer
months. Although no definite in
formation as to the establishment OF
this service has been received, il is
said that it is practical certainty.
According to the plan proposed.
the buses will leave Seattle daily and
stop at the important towns along
the Pacific highway The vehicles
will operate by day, while the nights
will be spent by the passengers at
towns favorable as to geographical
location. 1t is understood that the
trip from Seattle to San Francisco
will consume about eight days.
Roseburg has already appointed a
committee to get in touch with tho
men behind the enterprise in an eff
fort to make that city one of the
stopping places. Wherever the buses
stop the many passengers which they
are expected to carry will spend con-
siderable money for meals and lodg-
ing as well as for other things they
need during their short stay.
Inquiry should be made into this
proposition by Ashland, and efforts
made to make Ashland u night stop
over place. Lying as II does at the
end of the Jackson county pavement,
at the foot of great mountain, and
a great distance from big California
town, Ashland seems to be a logical
stopping place for such an auto SER
vice.
Driving at reasonable rate OF
speed which would insure the pas
sengers comfort and safety, It takes
two days to drive from Portland to
Ashland. While at some future day
when the roads are paved it may be
possible to drive 341 miles In one
day, at present the roads are In such
shape most of the summer that a
greater rate of speed than twenty
miles per hour would be impossible.
and eight hours OF driving would
cover half the distance between Port
land and Ashland at that rate.

Identification Of
City Planned

The Ladies' Civic Improvement
Club are inaugurating a movement
for the beautifying of Ashland and
are asking the cooperation of every
man, woman and child. They have
sought information of the best land
scape gardeners on the coast. They
have bought the entire stock of Wag-
ner Creek Nursery and these will be
offered at very low prices Roses, 5
and 10 cents; shade and ornamental
trees, to Is cents. In addition,
they ask anyone who has a bulb
plant, shrub or tree that they can
spare, to bring them to 94 Oak street,
and these will be given away free of
charge.
They are asking that every fence
or building not painted to be white
washed or repaired, also each street
to have a get-together meeting of its
citizens to plan the kind of trees,
flowers, etc., for their street. Every
street should have flowers from Feb
ruary to December, so no matter
when tourists come they find Ash
land city of flowers.
Look carefully to grouping of col
ors and do your planting around
buildings, fences and walks, leaving
the lawn proper comparatively free
of ornamentation.
Those desiring further information
inquire of following committees:
City Beautiful-Mesdames Rocho,
Ussher, Livingston, Bowers, Hilty
Gard and Graham.
Plant and Bulb Exchange-Mes-
danes Gillette, Whitmore, Merrill,
Carleton, Warner, Scott and Trask.
Cemetery - Mesdames Lamkin,
Rondeau, McWilliams, Gard, Brown,
Graham and Miss Susanne Homes.
Plants and trees will be sold at
the Chautauqua building next Tues
day, February 16, 10 to IL a. M,
2 to p. m.
The ladies have the following va
rieties: Elm, sugar maple, catalpa,
linden, mulberry, English walnut
and many varieties of small orna-
mental trees and roses. To be sold
at 5 to Is cents.
The Civic Improvement Club ceme-
terry committee held meeting at the
library with Mr.. Permission of the city
park board present. After discuss.
ing ways and means of beautifyine
it was decided to hold meeting with

possible so that they could take ad-
vantage of the sale of trees and flow
ers by the Civic Improvement Club

War Affects
Auto Industry

The European was has raised the
high cost of living in many ways, but
it has lowered the cost of automo-
biles and supplies.
Becauses Of the lack of STUNNING
facilities and the dangers from seiz-
ure by warning powers of gasoline
an overproduction has resulted and
we buy gasoline now at lower price
than for many years.
Since England has announced that
crude rubber might be shipped to the
United States from her possessions
many of the tire manufacturers have
announced reduction in prices. The
greatest reduction has been made by
the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany, who have cut their old prices
as high as "a per cent on the smaller
sizes and 22 per cent on the larger.
These tires are Of very high quality
and this reduction in price will great
ly reduce the cost of operating auto
mobiles.
At the time the European war
broke out all foreign orders were
cancelled Immediately and an i'm
mense stock of automobile material
was thrown on the American market.
Fortunately the REQ Motor Car COM
pany had large surplus of cash on
hand and they were quick to take ad-
vantage of the situation to buy in at
low prices This has enabled them
to place on the market cars with
many high-class features only found
in cars of much higher price.
Thus a war which made for rev.
enue stamps and high prices for food
has had directly opposite effect ON
the present and prospective automo-
bile owner.
The Ashland Garage agent for the
REQ and Cole Eight has a stock OF
Firestone tires for sale at the re-
duced prices and has recently placed
a price of 20 cents per gallon on gas
oline.
Firestone tires, the best you can
hny for ony pnnnav.
