CLEANUP DAY.

Ashland will put on her bright new
suit next Monday. Everybody will
put their trash in receptacles and set
them along the alleys and streets
where the city garbage wagons can
easily locate them. Burn up the
trash from the back yard. Let's
make Ashland spank and clean both
front and back. This is the place
and Monday is the time-bright and
early Monday morning, so that the
wagon won't miss you. 1t would be
a good idea If forty or fifty shackeldy
old barns were torn down or moved
into the back yard the same day. Of
all years this should be made the
banner in cleaning up and keeping
clean. Thousands of visitors from
back east will visit us for the first
time. Let us make Ashland so clean
and pretty that no one will want to
go farther. That's the way to attract
tourists.

Grand View Drive.
Editor Tidings: In anticipation of
the laying out and beginning of work
on the heights above our beautiful
city, it may be proper at this early
date to select a name that will be
appropriate and euphonious. Too
many of our Oregon names are lack
ing in this respect. / will mention
a few: Dead Indian, Jump-off Joe,
Grave Creek, etc.
This country is remarkable for
outlandish names. l will speak of
one more-Roper's B. AS the
young lady would say, "Ain't that
awful?" l have no patience with the
idea of having such a name perpetu-
ated in the limits of Ashland the
beautiful" 1t is a burning shame.
Let us find better one.
The object of this communication
is to find and suggest name for the
proposed new driveway that will be
appropriate, expressive and suggest
i've, and that will have what might
be called Jingle to ia pleasant
sound.
Persons walking or strolling over
the proposed route are impressed
with the view, and the expression at
once follows the thought, Grand,
grand, grand! What a grand view!
Won't this make a Grand View
Drive?"
1t really does afford the grandest
view possible, not only south, east
and over our city, but to the north
and west over Medford, the Rogue
River Valley and the hills of the
Umpqua range. One cannot help
thinking and saying, What a grand
view"
Why not call it Grand View Drive?
Should the council approve this
name, prompt action should be taken
before some other name like Roper's
B becomes familiar and difficult
to displace.
Ladies, dear ladies, do take this
matter up. This is not case of the

there will be no guests to occupy it.
Men, not springs, make cities.
Mineral springs neither eat nor
sleep in a tourist hotel. Guests do
that. Ashland has had these mineral
waters for forty years and they have
so far contributed little to the ad
vancement of the city. Why? Be
cause MEN have not practically util-
lied them for the purpose.
When the waters are successfully
delivered and the park is attractively
prepared for visitation the struggle
is just begun. Unless adequate pub
licity force is employed no one be-
yond a radius of a hundred miles
will discover our worth for years.
Imagine big tourist hotel standing
beautifully on our hillsides with its
broad verandas occupied by bats in
stead of guests. The success OF the
whole enterprise depends upon the
number of guests entertained here
during the active season. Men with
money do not invest in bat resorts
they must feel sure it will be made
lively enough to dispel the bats, and
in case of an expensive tourist hotel
it must be reasonably certain that
profitable guests will occupy the
chambers.
To be assured of that, Ashland
must furnish the force-depending
not on someone else TO do it-or the
success will be Indifferent. Commun-
tiles do not have success handed to
them on silver platters. They sue
ceed best who work hardest.

The ladies of the Civic Club are
getting fine organization and their
systematic effort is accomplishing
great results. BY July Ashland will
indeed become the "city beauti-
full" through their organized effort.
Their work appears thoroughly sys-
tematized. They have districted the
town and each street, alley and lawn
is receiving its proper attention.
That kind of effort will transform
Ashland in a year. If everybody
joins the Commercial Club and its
work is as thoroughly systematized
the combined results from the two
organizations will insure success.
Systematic, organized effort brooks
no failure. The opportunity is tre-
mendous. The natural resources are
ample. Will the MEN of Ashland
assist the WOMEN of Ashland to
make the "city beautiful" the "city
splendid" as well?

Ashland needs lesson in system
attic organized effort. Great things
are accomplished only that way.
With every citizen pulling in differ
ent direction-each of them with a
different idea of method-let them
be ever so earnest and hardworking,
results will be mill. Best results
come from pulling together, not
apart. Two or more men working at
the same task, neither of them con-
ferring, one on each end and pulling
in opposite directions, will waste a
world of strength in time and will
get nowhere. Organization; organ
ization; organization; nothing can be
well accomplished without it. Sys-
tematic organization will do the bust
ness. Anything short spells failure
The thing Ashland is attempting is a
great work. 1t can be made to con
tribute largely to the material de
velopment of the town and the valley
Her natural assets are ample. Upor
the systematic application and util
ization of these depend the future o
the city. Men, quit pulling apart

Fly or Bait-Which?

In the Mail Tribune of February
20 Brother Putnam has an editorial
entitled Protect the Fish When They
Need It." We do not agree with Mr..
Putnam at all, as we think he must
have written this when he felt some
what selfish. In the first place, II
the bill passed (Which Mr.. Putnam
says should) for the closing of Rogue
river to the line fishing during the
winter months, it will do an injustice
to a great number of fishermen, as
there are people who cannot catch
fish with a fly but can catch fish with
either spoon, eggs or worms, and the
early winter months afford as great
sport for steelhead fishing as the
summer fishing for the finest run of
steelhead in Rogue river is in Febru-
airy or March, and why not grant the
fisherman who loves to take these
fish with bait or spoon the same priv
ilege that the fisherman has in the
summer? What is the difference
how the individual takes his fish so
long as he takes it with hook and
line and it is lawful?
Now, as to the fish caught in the
winter months depopulating the
streams of steelhead, this is mis-
take, as any adult female steelhead
taken during the summer months
carries spawn, and that is what
brings them in the river during the
months of June, July, August and
September, and they spawn in the fall
and early winter. Now this is the
point we can't understand, what is
the difference how we take these
fish, whether on fly or salmon eggs
as the results are the same? The
spawn is lost in all cases. But when
it comes to the point of how or wher
to take fish with hook or line, the
amount of fish caught does no
amount to anything compared t
what is taken with nets. The numbe
taken in any stream with hook ant
line is not the trouble at all. Lin
fishermen could never hurt tn
streams such as the Rogue II the fisl

Nets are getting your fish, Brothe

A BUCKET OF COLD WATER.

Already some are throwing buck
cts of cold water at the effort being
put forth for a tourist hotel and

prised that some Ashland citizens |
throw cold water as an excuse to get |
out of themselves doing what is their |

are somewhat surprised that the Ash

is sucker enough to do that-we are
free to confess that those with whom

kind-they do not ask OUR PEOPLE

THEY will put in THEIR MONEY.
The thing Ashland needs do is to get
the goods ready to deliver and show
them that, not only we are willing
to do out part, but that we do not
intend to get them stuck in and allow
them to shift the best they may. In
order to induce large investments
Ashland must show that she is going
to make the resort feature a success

An amicabe disposition linked
with an energetic desire to please
those with whom we live, smooths
over the rough places that are found
in every household. There are diff
ferent temperaments with which to
contend, housekeeping cares, the de-
mands Of society, and a great many
women have hard, rough work to do.
To perform all these duties and at
the same time keep everything run
ming in harmony requires patience,
tact and ofttimes much skill. A re-
fractory temper brings about more
unhappiness in a household than al
most anything. If we once give way
to a harsh word another one is much
easier to follow and almost invari-
ably will. Get started cross in the
morning and things go wrong al
day. at is the rift within the lutte

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Luck and Pluck.

Luck and Pluck.
Young man, your success or your
failure, your veal or woe of life will
hang largely in the manner in which
you treat these two words.
Our fathers were good religious
people and did not mean to foster
atheism when they talked about luck
and gave a halfway assent to it's
Goddess reality. If the universe were
an infinite chaos, if order had no
throne in it's wide realm, if universal
law were a fable or fancy, if God
were a Babel, or the world pande-
monium there might be such thing
as luck. But while from the particle
to the globe, from the animalcule to
the archangel, there is not being or
thing or a time or an event dis
connected with the great government
of eternal law and order, we cannot
see how such a game of chance as
the word luck supposes can be ad-
mitted to any corner of the great
world Luck, What is it? A lot
terry? A frolic of games? A ruse
among the elements? A trick OF
dame nature, any chemist can show
us its elements? Is luck that strange
nondescript unmateriality that does
all things among men that they can
not account for? If so, why does luck
not make a fool speak words of wis
dom, an ignoramus utter lectures on
philosophy, a stupid dolt write the
great works of music and poetry?
Many are the young men who
waste the best part of their lives in
attempts to WOO this coy maid into
their embraces. They enter into this
or that or the other speculation, with
the dreamy hope that luck will pay
them a smiling visit. Some go to
Australia, or the far west, or the tor
rid or frigid zones, or some other
wayoff place, with no fair prospects
or hope of success from their owr
energies or exertions, but depending
all the while FOR a gentle smile from
capricious luck. Poor fellows! the!
