National Park Head
Asks Camp Advice

The following letter received by
Mayor Johnson from Col. H. NJ Brett.
superintendent of Yellowstone ma
tional park, means a great deal to
Ashland. Here in Ashland we little
realize the great amount of publicity
which the Ashland Lithia park auto
camp has brought to Ashland. 1t Is
hard to realize that all over the
United States auto tourists are tell
ing the folks at home of Ashland's
perfect camp for the autolsts. This
letter coming from the Department
of the Interior is proof that the Ash
land camp is the most talked OF
achievement along this line on the
coast today;

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Dec. IT.
The Mayor, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir; Automobiles were adj

plies and camped. 1t is our desire to-
provide for these travellers, suitable
free accommodations, at the expense
of the department, and the question
is coming us as to about what they
require

information as to the nature OF the
that have proven
popular in your city, shall be great

ALEX NIBLEY.

It is thought imminently probable
that the factory will go to Grants
Pass, but the Utah people seem to be
playing the matter perfectly safe and
refuse to commit themselves until
every phase OF the proposition has
been investigated. The establish
ment Of the sugar factory means
great deal to the valley as a whole.
1t means the putting of 100000 in
circulation in the valley this year and
every year afterward an amount al
most as great The sugar factory
will be followed by other big indus
tries as sure as flies follow the syrup

Upstairs Backward,

Walking upstairs backward Is urged
by q London physician as o useful
practice in cases Of heart weakness
and as helping in a more equal dis
tribution Of muscular wear and tear.
Firstly and most important" he
aays, walking upstairs backward
would prevent any tendency to hurry.
No matter how inveterate q stair
rush man might be, he would have
to moderate his pace II going back
ward. This enforced elaboration
would, Of course. be Of great value in
heart disease. The second effect would
be to relieve the strain from the ordi.
nary walking and climbing mucles
Chose ON the front Of the thigh and
to press into service those on the
back Of the leg, which ordinarily do
no work In climbing stairs. The total
result, therefore, might be a saving
IN muscular wear and tear through Q
more economical distribution Of ef-
fort This, Of course, would also be
Of value in cases Of heart weakness."

Artist and Parvenu.

Phil Morris, the eminent portrait
painter, who died when his fame was
at its height, had a very unpleasant
experience whilst visiting q wealthy
merchant who had commissioned him
to paint his wife and baby for the
sum Of &700. The first evening Mr..
Morris and his employer were dis
cussing the "pose," and the artist,
thinking that he had hit on brilliant
suggestion, said it would be effective

Method Of spearInu Fish.

. In spite Of the march Of civilization.
there remains much that Is still prim-
tive in Sicily, and a curious sight at
Palermo is to see the fishermen
spearing fish in the harbor by the aid
Of glass-bottomed buckets (sayS the
Wide World Magazine). There are
many corners of the world where flsh
are speared, but perhaps the use Of the
lass.bottomed bucket in this connec-
ton ID to be seen only at Palermo. The
fishermen lean far over the side Of
their boats, and hold the bucket on the
water with one hand, poking their
heads into It as II engaged in the Hal
ilowe'en game Of ducking for apples.
They hold q spear poised in the free
hand, and thus await the arrival OF
their victims, who are sighted through
the glass bottom Of the bucket, which
acts 90 o kind Of telescope. 4.

BEYOND REACH OF REASON
Como Of the Very Peculiar Excuses
People Give AZ Leading 70
4 Engagements.

why are engagements?" I had
asked, and It was then that Max
launched into his exposition.
Men and women are attracted 70
each other for 80 many different rea'
sons. Now, there's my sister Helen
who has just announced her engage
ment. She says she was first attract
cd to Dick because he resembled Q
schoolmate Of hers, on whom she had
q high school crush
"Then there is Gertrude-Bhe
dropped Herbert because she learned
he wore suspenders; It would seem
TO follow that she was drawn to him
because she thought him suspender-
less. And Cynthia-little, dreamy Gym
thia-surprised us all at Maude's tea
by announcing that the only man who
appealed to her was the man who
could do things-whom she could TO
spect because Of his efficiency"
He went on, after q breath:
There is Dawson, quite mad about
that funny little Smith girl; says she
Is the first girl he has met who could
swim better than he and does not
mind getting her hair wet. And Simp-
son was a confirmed woman hater I'M
Ill he took a girl out skating to please
his sister and they broke through the
ice, were nearly drowned and became
engaged a month later"
What about congeniality?" ! VEN
tured.
THAT Is the cement" he answered,
"the final process which makes the
attraction lasting. When that comes,
then you can say, they were married
and lived happily ever afterward.
