POTASH IN ACTION.
Interesting Researches Made In Cali
fornia and Utah,

Interesting Researches Made In Cali
fornia and Utah.
When the Arendt experiments estab-
lished the fact that potash was with
drawn from the formed grain to the
stalk and leaves when ripening Of the
grain proceeded, studies were made to
obtain new data on the action of pot
ash. This led to a comparison of the
action of soda, as it was found to be
also very active in the circulation of
sap, and one experimenter drew the
conclusion from his work that the two
alkalis, soda and potash, exerted pri-
marily the same function in promoting
circulation of sap. Indeed, he went
so far as to claim that these two aka
lis were practically interchangeable
and could be used to replace one an
other in fertilizing. This naturally led
to some interesting researches, and
there Is some confirmation of the
theory that, while potash made mel
low, Juicy fruit and its withdra wal
from grain resulted in hardening, soda
gave less juice, but firmer fruit. Some
practical everyday confirmation of
this has been observed on soda alkali
soils in California and Utah when
potash was used as a fertilizer. This
brings to mind an old custom Of grain
farmers using chloride of soda (salD
, to harden and strengthen their grain

stalks or, as it was put, to make The
grain stand up. 43##
This must not be interpreted as an
excuse for dispensing with potash
when fertilizers are needed for the
special" purposes which potash is
known to meet One of the peculiari-
ties the fertilizer man notices among
growers is that they seem overanxious
to dispense with this ingredient in ap-
piled fertilizers They reason, for in
stance, that as grain does not carry
much potash it is unimportant. But
they should consider that without a
free supply of potash for the plant
the nitrogen and phosphorus COM
pounds would not be carried to the
flower and seed, even if taken into the
leaf and stem.

Salt For Dairy Use,

Salt is required by all animals. The
dairy COW requires an ounce or more
a day, and while she should be given
all she needs she should not be forced
to take more than she wants. It is
best, therefore, to give only small
quantity on the feed and to place rock
salt in boxes in the yard where she
can lick it at will.

THE BOND ELECTION.

The council did the proper thing
in submitting to the people the propo-
sition of refunding the short time six
per cent bonds into long time fives
Under the referendum law in force
in this state every important munich
pal matter should be submitted for
the action of the people at the polls.
It was strictly in keeping with the
referendum that the bond matter was
submitted. Councilmen are neither
favoring or opposing the issue. The
council put the matter In shape to be
submitted and then called the elec-
ton In order to give citizens an OPP
portunity to pass upon it.
There Is little doubt but that the
higher rate bonds should be refunded
into a lower rate issue. That is good
busness-to cancel a six per cent
debt with new five per cent bonds
but there Is a question as to whether
a five per cent issue is the best that
can be lloated under the present state
OF the bond market. Just now there
is q strong demand for municipal
bonds, and likely If the matter was
offered for bids more favorable is
sue would find a ready market
possibly the new issue would bring
par on 4 four and one-half per cent
basis.
Under the circumstances the It'd
ings thinks II best to vote the issue
down and then submit the matter to
bids and sell the new issue on con-
tract to the buyer that would take
the issue at PAR bearing the least rate
of interest. Bids could be asked for
on a contingent basis before the vote
was taken. Then citizens would know
when they voted that the city was
getting the best the bond market af-
fords and no doubt would approve |
the issue.
The council has not laid itself open
TO censure by its action. 1t did the
fair and proper thing in submitting
the issue to the people.

The Rest Room.
Yours very truly,
H. o. PURUCKER

To the Tidings Readers; ! have
been interested in the various arti-
cles for and against the rest room,
and though perhaps you might be
equally interested in hearing Of the
rest room in this city of Burlington,
Vermont. 1t is called the municipal
rest room, and has its rooms in the
municipal building, on the main bus
mess street, handy to stores, electric
car waiting room, etc. 1t is well
patronized all day, exclusively for the
ladies, and the men are never permit
ted to use 1t in any way. A plain,
comfortable, honey sort OF a matron
is in charge and sits there all day to
assist or answer questions.
AS one enters the main room the
eye meets an attractive, homelike as
pect. Nothing in it but what could
be spared from anyones well-filled
home. On one side of the door
mite-boX for the poor or needy Of the
city. This box and contents might
well be looked after by the Sunshine
ladies of Ashland. On the other side

COOPERATION WINS.


The policy which has been fol
lowed in the remodeling and refur-
nishing Of the New Oregon is a spIen-
did example OF the finest kind oil
municipal loyalty. Believing it the
spirit as well as the letter OF the
trade-at-home principle, the owners
of the new hostelry have spared no
effort to place all the business incl
dental to their enterprise with local
people.
In the first place, all work done on
the Oregon has been done by local
men, plumbers, carpenters, painters
and decorators. In every capacity in
which local labor could be used, it
has been given the preference.
Every foot of pipe and every fix
ture used in the installation Of the
new system Of plumbing has been
bought through local merchants.
Lumber, cement and all other raw
materials were secured in the same
way. Furniture was picked out, much
of it made to order, but all of it
came through the channels of local
trade, apportioned to the different
dealers. Carpets, linoleums, the
sheetngs and linens, the curtains, all
paid their tribute to their local deal
ers in the interest of trade-at-home.
Perhaps no better illustration of
the thoroughness in which this spirit
was observed can be given than a
word or two in regard to the station
cry tables which will be used in the
lobby. These have been made in
Ashland, of oak, and are examples of
the finest workmanship. No one
heed fear the epithet of homemade, /.
when these are installed in the beau
.iful tiled lobby of the Oregon.
Much of the furniture has arrived, /
md is awaiting removal to the hotel.
In examining this furniture one is
impressed with the high standard of
luaity which has been insisted upon
~ the new owners in their selections.
beautiful is the furniture
or the new ladies' drawing room.
This is Of old-ivory rattan, with tap
stry cushions and pads. The tapes
ry is to be matched in mulberry rug
or the floor of the apartment.
The furniture of the upper floors is
ak, of beautiful and substantial de-
ign. The chairs for the lobby are
lso here, and are of full Spanish
Gather of the finest pattern.

of the door an old-fashioned hatrack
and stand. On the street side two
pleasant windows, easy chairs, table
and register for guests. The third
side, chair and table for the matron;
the fourth, a small desk and chair;
and in the center of the room a good
sized round table, well filled with
magazines and surrounded by easy
chairs. The small room off of this
contains the toilets and layatories,
gas plate, telephone, sanitary paper
towels, and so forth.
The desk looked cheerful and ap-
pealed to me, as / have often tried
to stand and write a short letter in
either postoffice or one of the banks.
Also, please, let "Mr. Bantaite"
(or any other friend who thinks like
wise) carry a warm, tired, sleepy,
teething baby (and several more
steps" trailing along at their coat
tails) and let him "try" to shop, and
he will let the country contributor
and other ladies have all the rest
rooms they'd like.
Burlington makes large bid for
the country trade and puts forth it's
best efforts in the summer when the
good folks from the country can come
in from far and near.
A generous mind will suggest an
extra room, cool, dim and cozy, with
several cribs for the little tots. And |
what a delightful, r-to-be-forgot-

in memory of a dearly beloved but |
"lost while" in the form of small
stone building in or close to the park |

and children can rest eyes and body |

LET'S DRESS UP.

Especially this year, Ashland's slo-
gan should be CLEAN UP, PAINT
UP AND LIGHT UP" Every citizen
should make an effort to clean up his
premises and, II possible, paint up
his buildings. The council this year
should strictly enforce the ordinance
against weeds on vacant lots and
parkways. Already. through the eff
forts of Councilman Banta, the coun-
Gil has offered free porch lights to
citizens, and every house should see
that the proper installation is made
for the service. Dress up 1t is no
small matter that Ashland should
look her best this year. She never
had a better opportunity to develop
and expand. Thousands OF strangers
will be here this summer, and II the
city looks her best many Of them
will invest and some build fine homes.
Ashland is distinctly a health and
home city. Every effort should be
made by every citizen, by the Com
mercial and Civic Clubs, by the park
board, by the council and by the
springs commission TO make her look
her prettiest. There is as much
charm in pretty dress as IN matchless
form. Nature has given Ashland an
exquisite form. II is left to us TO
dress her up. CLEAN UP. PAINT
Up AND LIGHT UP. Now is the
time and this is the place.

]. M. Shelley of the Eugene Mill

with Mrs. A. Hobbs, paid Ash

to their home after an extern

ness man, Mr.. Shelley has long been
figure in public affairs, being a
former member of the legislature an5
of the committee in charge of the
Lewis and Clark exposition.
All the members of the party we're
enthusiastic over the beauties of
Lithia Park. AS they have but re-
Gently visited famous Balboa Park
in San Diego, their praise was doubly
welcome.
Balboa Park" commented one of
the ladies, "has the advantage of
wonderful climate and exquisite care,
but the San Diegans can not supply
the beautiful natural effects which
you have here in Ashland" She
pointed to the falls of Ashland creek
in the park. "The parks of the
SOUTH" she exclaimed, would give
hundred thousand dollars for those,
and for the background Of hills that
surrounds this city"
The party was further delighted
when the conveniences Of the munich
pal camp-ground were explained. If
the fair motorists of Eugene have
their way, Lithia camp-ground will
be generously patronized this sum
