Loyalty Pays a Dividend.

We read much in the public press
today of loyalty to our country"
It is we'll, for If any man on earth
has reason to feel loyal to his coun-
try for benefits conferred, that man
is the American citizen.
But there is another loyalty which
ranks side by side with that of coun-
try, and that is loyalty to home and
home people.
We have a community here in
which any people might feel just
pride, and we have people wholly
on a par with the community, though
there are times when we are neglect
full of our interests and unmindful of
the disintegrating consequences
which invariably ensue.
Loyalty always pays its dividend,
but loyalty to home and home people
pays a double dividend.
Let us be loyal to country by all
means, but let us be doubly loyal to
our home institutions, for it is by
this means only that we may thrive,
and flourish, and grow as collective
unit in the marts of the world.

The next effort of the Commercial
Club will be for a modern bathhouse
suitable for resort purposes. Ash
land has two fine hot sulphur nata-
toriums, with plunge, tub baths and
showers. She is well provided with
those, but Ashland's need now is for
bathhouse equipped with all the
modern devices and conveniences for
the giving Of hot baths, night or day,
and every season of the year. The
equipment should be provided for
electric baths, mud baths, sulphur
baths, salt baths, Turkish baths, car
bondioxide baths, and the like, and
should be ready for use by the time
the hotel is completed. 1t is esti-
mated that such an equipment can
be installed for $4,000. That does
not include the building in which it
will be housed. 1t is proposed to
organize O local company and put in
the equipment. Monday night the
Commercial Club appointed a COM
mittee to take the matter up and
work out a plan, and its work will
go forward at once.

put out to pasture, Allen Moore, a.
lower Augusta township, Pennsyl-
vania, farmer found that it had brok-

doned well and fallen twenty feet to
the bottom. When it was gotten out
an old rusty bucket was found caught
in one of its shoes. Moore found the
bucket was sealed. Taking hatchet.
he cut the top, and out rolled a
stream of Spanish doubloons valued
at $4,000.

The Minnesota Historical Society
is projecting a new building at st.
Paul. Proposals are being taken on
granite and Kettle river stone. Gran
ite is bid higher, but when durability
is considered the granite becomes the
cheapest and in lapse of time far the
hansomer and most economical. This
fact, which is being generally accept
ed by builders, will no doubt
strengthen the demand for granite
in buildings. Ashland's granite
quarry will be opened his spring and,
we understand, is we'll financed to
handle large building contracts.
Springfield, ILL.,, is to have the
greatest statue Of Lincoln in the
world. The design will be made by
an American sculptor, Andrew o'Coi-
nor, of Worcester, Mass. Now If this
American sculptor will chisel his de-
sign from American granite. A
statue of Americas greatest presi-
dent, by Americas greatest sculptor,
out of Americas greatest granite
the Ashland granite. And why not?
Let the Commercial Club get busy
and get Ashland granite into this
greatest American monument.

1t is freely asserted that many. OF
the social clubs of the state will find
some way to evade the Oregon pro-
hibitfon law, through clandestine
sale, or through the locker system.
Time will tell whether these clubs
are composed of law-abiding or law
less citizens. If law-abiding, wheth-
er the law suits them or not, they
will comply with it in good faith. If
lawless, of course, the hand of the
law should be laid upon them with
the same rigor and persistence that
it pursues the bootlegger and the
blind-pigger. Officers whose duty 1t
is to enforce the law should play no
favorites. The law must be respect
ed. These social clubs are mostly
COMPOSED Of men who claim to be
law-abiding, leaders OF their COM
munities. Now that the test is here
we shall see whether they really are
composed of that type of citizen, or
whether they sail under false colors'

Ashland is glad to see that Port
land, as reflected by the newspapers
there, is waking up to the tremen-
dous advantages to the state inherent
in the development that Ashland has
undertaken. Every development
looking to the attraction of tourists
through the northwest benefits the
whole northwest. Ashland appreci-
ates the good publicity the Portland
papers have given our enterprise. All
of the dailies there have been good
to us, but the Journal has been es-
pecially free in that respect, having
published six splendid feature stories
on our development during the past
six months.

The Southern Pacific Company
and the county commissioners have
come to an agreement on the under
grade crossing at the top of the Bill
lings hill, and the work, it is an
nounced by Judge Tou Velle, will go
forward as soon as weather will per-
init, and it is hoped to have the work
completed by the first of April. The
grade up the hill will be five per
cent maximum and will remove a
great barrier to traffic between here
and the town down the valley. This
improvement alone will be worth all
the taxes paid by Ashland citizens on
the entire road bonds. This way, as
well as the Siskiyou grade, is indis-
pensable in successfully developing
along tourist lines.

ROGUE RIVER FISHING.

Medford sportsmen are mad. At
the last legislature they stood behind
a measure to open the Rogue river
TO commercial fishing. Last year the
canneries got all the fish, and Evan
Reames, George Putnam, Attorney
Kelly and Toggery Isaacs were left
to beat the turbulent current with
their flies with never a strike, for the
canneries at the mouth of the river
had taken all the fish, big and little.
So, of course, they are mad. How
ever, their anger is good for the COM
munity II 1t is deep enough to over
come whatever inducements may
have been made in the past, or what
ever compromises may be offered in
the future, to leave the law so the
canneries will get all the fish. The
Rogue river, as fishing stream, is
the greatest asset southern Oregon
possesses, II closed to commercial
fishing. This is essentially a play
ground and may be made the Mecca
for huntsmen and fishermen. The
stream should be permanently closed
to commercial fishing and opened to
the free use Of citizens living along
the stream as well as those who come
here from abroad to indulge their
passion for sport. The cannery at
the mouth of the river is of little
value to the state. 1t employs but
few men, and most of those are
Cinnamon and other foreigners. The
tax from this source is Indifferent
it amounts to relatively nothing to
the state. Most of the supplies used
at the canneries are purchased out of
the state. By leaving the river open
the state gains one dollar while it's
citizens lose thousands. In ten years
the Rogue river open can be made
worth a million a year to southern
Oregon, for it will draw nimrods
from everywhere, who will leave a
tremendous crop Of dollars. There
is now an effort being made to or
ganize strong sportsmen's clubs with
the view Of welding influence at
Salem to have the Rogue river per-
manently closed to commercial fish
ing at the next session. Ashland peo-
pie should be tremendously interest
ed in this move and the local club
should be raised to at least three
hundred members. The Rogue river
closed against the greed of canneries
is worth more in the development OF
Ashland along tourist lines than any
other one thing. Let everybody join
the sportsman's club and help on the
good work. Those interested will
find proper membership blanks at
Harry Hosler's cigar store.

With purpose good and true,
Than sit around a-knocking-

Coming to Vining Theatre.

Things will be doing in Ashland
next year. Already the Commercial
Club started the ball rolling for q
big Fourth of July celebration. Mr..
Frohbach Monday night moved a
committee to lay plans for a three.
day season OF entertainment about
the Fourth of July. Many attractive
stunts will be pulled off here during
the coming summer. The railroad
company will run excursions from
north as far as Portland and south
into the Fresno valley, and If proper
entertainment is provided to attract
people here Ashland should enjoy
visits from twenty to thirty thousand
persons the coming season. That
will mean lot to Ashland, and every
one should be interested in forward.
ing a movement to provide such en-
tertainment Not only will Ashland
profit directly by the ready cash the
visitors will leave here, but greater
in getting persons to see and realize
the extent of our development and
the splendid benefits from our wa
ters. Every legitimate plan imagin-
able should be put forward to attract
people here this coming summer.
Upon the success of the enterprise
the first year win depend largely the
degree of success that will speedily
follow. Ashland's enterprise must
be known and seen to be appreciated.

Habit of Happiness.

No matter what his vocation or
condition in life may be, every man
owes it to himself and to the world
to form the habit of being just as
happy as he can. Happiness means
harmony and harmony means health
, and efficiency.
Much natural ability is rendered
inefficient because men do not real
ize that discord, whether in fear,
worry, selfishness, hatred or jeal--
ousy, is health and happiness kill
er, an efficiency blighter. Many men
waste more vitality and mental en-
ergy in a few minutes of hot temper
than would be required in the legiti-
mate running of their business for
days.
Happiness is great stimulator of
growth. Nothing grows when dis
cordant. When we shall have learned
now TO conserve our energies by get
ting our minds into harmony, even
the hardest days work will not tire
us. 1t is nerve exhaustion, wasted
energy through unnatural, discordant
conditions, that makes us jaded and
tired out-the result of friction in
our machinery. If we could keep
ourselves in happy condition all
day we should be fresh at night. It
is by keeping ourselves in perfect
harmony that we become more eff
cient and get the most out of life.
