The Pacific Highway in Siskiyou
county will be ready for travel in a
few weeks, when travel over the
mountains will begin to open up.

ings, one located at Bailey hill, be-
tween Hornbrook and Hit, and the
other at Black Butte summit, be-
tween Weed and Sisson, will COM

Business Men
Plan Valley Picnic

The Ashland Business Mems Asso-
citation will get behind a trade at
home" campaign as the result of dis
cussion held at meeting of the
business mems organization last
Tuesday night.
Another important project dis
cussed was a big valley business
mems picnic to be held some time in
July. A committee of three was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for an
affair which will be attractive enough
to bring most of the business men of
the valley to Ashland park.
Homer Elhart was elected record
ing secretary to succeed Monte
Briggs. An amendment lowering the
dues to so cents was given its first
reading.
The next meeting will be of un-
usual interest. A talk on banking
will be given by an Ashland banker, a
musical program will enliven the
evening, and if arrangements can be
made a banquet will be served.

Stock RaiSerS
Meet at Medf0rd

The Dead Indian Stock Raisers'
Association met at the public library
at Medford last Wednesday. NJ. L.
Erickson, supervisor of the forestry
service for this district, met with
them, the cooperation of his service
being offered wherever possible. A
large attendance participated in the
business of the meeting. George w.
Owen of Ashland is president, and
Fred Neil, also of Ashland, is secre-
tary.
Committees were appointed to take
up matters of seasonal interest and
take care of them in time for the use
of the range in that district this year
to the best advantage. Drift fences
and their locations were discussed,
sources of water supply, their devel-
opment for more water this year and
their protection were arranged for,
and many other matters of interest
to those whose stock use that range.
1t was the opinion of a number of
those who attended the meeting that
this will be good range year, the
wild grasses having started vigorous
ly and the moisture being much more
abundant than it was at this time last
year.

Lithia Attracts
Hundreds Daily

The lithia water is continuously
in the park now and hundreds of
Ashlanders are getting the habit of
making daily trips to the fountain,
some just to drink and some to fill
jugs and bottles. To the outsider
the prevalence of jug-carrying pedes-
trians may lead to doubts as to the
efficiency of the prohibition law un-
til he follows the crowd and learns
the common destination in Lithia
park.
A dolly walk to the park is a good
habit and should become a regu ar
daily occurrence with everyone. The
walk will do you nearly as much good
as the water. One of the main reas-
ons for keeping the fountains in the
park was the benefit which the exer-
else derived from the walk gives.
Fifteen minutes after lunch or be-
fore dinner every day spent in a walk
to the mineral water fountains will
make the days work seem much
lighter.

Right Of Way
For New Drive

The city council has appointed a
committee consisting of Councilmen
Root, Cornelius and Lamb to secure
the right of way for the proposed
drive on the west side of Ashland
canyon. The committee will take up
the work where 1t was left off last
year and will endeavor to secure the
remainder OF the right of way as soon
as is possible Last year a part OF
the right of way was secured.
While not enough funds may be
found available to complete the drive
this year, the work will probably be
started this spring. Glenview Drive
has proven wonderful asset, and the
proposed west drive will be far
more beautiful one. Leaving the cam
yon at a point a short distance above
the intersection of Glenview Drive,
the proposed drive will follow the
water grade of the old Ashland min
ing ditch to a point near the head Of
Winner street, whence it will make a
gradual descent to North Main street.
A view which can be only described
as magnificent will be obtanable
from every part of the drive The
timbered portions and the fact that
it is on the shady side of the canyon
will make the drive an ideal cool
walk on the hottest summer day.
When completed the two drives will
together form one wonderful skyline
drive around Ashland which will
have no equal.

Big Crowds Visit
MCGee'S Store

The formal opening of McGee's dry
goods store and Hargroyes millinery
display in the new quarters occupied
jointly by the two was held Saturday
afternoon and attracted a big crowd.
The store was most artistically deco
rated with spring blooms and beau
tiful display of the very latest spring
hats, suits and fineries greeted the
throngs. Mrs. McGee presided over
a booth and served punch during the
afternoon. The new store is spacious
and affords ample room for the dis
play of what are among the biggest
and best dry goods and millinery
stocks in southern Oregon. The two
business houses are assured of even
a bigger patronage than they enjoyed
in the past.

Saturday evening. Millard Grubb
starred for Ashland, while Ross of
Central Point displayed dazzling
speed and accuracy. The visitors are
accustomed to a small floor and were
somewhat at loss on the big armory
floor In a scrappy preliminary the
Lincoln grammar school team from
Medford defeated the Ashland East
Side grammar team by a II to Is

lads assures both Ashland and Med
ford of good basketball material
when the present high school stars
are gone.

Jacksonville School
Work TO Be Shown

Manual training was introduced in
the Jacksonville school this year as
an experiment, and the people feel
such a pride in its success that they
are going to hold an exhibit of the
work accomplished along industrial
lines about the first of May. Sewing,
basketry, raffia weaving and manual
department work will be emphasized
at this exhibit.
Jacksonville feels that it has one
of the best manual training depart
ments in southern Oregon. The work
was laid out along practical lines, the
pupils making those articles which
could be used in the homes. The
boys under the direction of their in
structor, G. j. Shafer, built eight
double work benches equipped with
rapid-acting vices, at a nominal cost
of IS per bench, $110 was expended
for tools and a wood lathe installed.
The work was made compulsory to
all boys from the fourth grade up
through the grades and optional in
the high school. The course has
proven so popular that every boy in
the high school and a class of nine
high school girls are taking the work.
Superintendent Smith says that the
girls work is on a par and in some
cases superior to that of the boys,
three having finished library tables,
one a sewing table and another
writing desk. The pupils start with
the rough lumber and follow the work
through to the last coat of varnish,
even turning the drawer pulls and
knobs used on the furniture. Elec-
trio power will be installed next year
and the department enlarged.

Allen Eaton of the University of
Oregon will lecture at the Ashland
public library Thursday evening of
this week on art. He comes to Ash
land under the auspices of the c. L.
S. C. No charge will be made for
the lecture and everyone is urged to
be present. In the past the lecture
given by the extension workers of the
university were not as well attended
as they should be because the gen.
eral public did not understand that
no charge was made. 1t is to be
hoped that capacity house will greet
Mr.. Eaton. He brings with him
display of pottery which is well worth
seeing.

Report States Mineral Waters Are
Exceptionally Pure---Puts End to
Unf0unded RuInOTS.

Because of stories circulated by
knockers to the effect that the min
eral waters were contaminated and
health menace, the state board OF
health was invited to inspect the min
eral water plant, and on invitation OF
the springs water commission, Dr.
Roberg, chairman of the state board.
was here week ago and in company
with the commission and the local
health board made complete inspec-
tion of the physical plant and took
samples of the various waters at the
intakes and outlets.
The following report from the state
board gives the Ashland project the
cleanest kind of slate, states in no
mincing manner that the waters are
exceptionally pure" and puts a de-
cisive end to all doubt as to the pur-
ity of the waters and sanitary condi-
tion of the mineral water plant:
Oregon State Board of Health,
Portland, March II, 1916.
Mr. Bert r. Greer, Chairman Springs
Water Commission, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir: This office submits the
following report on the analyses
made on three samples of water from
your supply, namely, No. l from the
Dodge well intake, No. 2 from the
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-20

new lithia we'll intake, No. 3 from the
fountain outlet of the new lithia
well. The object of these analyses is
to determine the number of bacteria
which are present in one cubic cent?
metre of the water. Tests are also
made for the presence of bacteria of
the colon group. This denotes con-
tamination. Examination of these
three specimens shows the water to
be exceptionally pure; in fact, the
water could scarcely contain fewer
organisms unless it were distilled and
kept sterile. Specimen No. 1 from
the Dodge well intake yielded 8 bac-
teria per C. C. and there was no
formation of gas in inoculated media
of lactose bile. This denotes there
was present no organisms of the colon
group, consequently no contamina-
tion. Examination of specimen No.
2, new lithia well intake, showed but
6 bacteria per C. C. There was no
fermentation and consequently no
contamination. Specimen No. 3,
lithia outlet, showed A colonies per
C. c. which is very exceptionally low.
There was no gas formation, conse-
quently no contamination.
Sincerely yours,
DAVID N. ROBERG,
State Health officer.

Secretary Norris of the CONNER
cial Club has received from Secretary
Haig, of the Whittier Chamber of
Commerce, Whittier, Cal, a carton Of
choice navel oranges, which have
been placed on exhibit (for the time
being) in the Commercial Club rooms.
They are of the finest quality and
there is no doubt they will bring
many favorable commentsto the dis
trict in which they are grown.
Mr.. Haig's letter in part is as fol-
lows:
"Mr. D. D, Norris, Secretary Ashland
Commercial Club, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir: Some time ago we re-
ceived very interesting letter from
your organization telling of your
wonderful mineral springs and en-
closing your very unique and interest
ing facsimile of glass of water. We
are CAD indeed to congratulate you
upon the possession of this resource
and to assure you of our interest in
visiting you should we ever be in the
vicinity of Ashland
1--WE ask you to accept from the
publicity bureau of the Whittier
Chamber of Commerce a carton of
choice navel oranges grown in the
famous East Whittier district. It
may be of interest to you to know
that Whittier is the center of a re-
strlcted district which is primarily
growing the finest Valencias, the
profitable summer orange of south
ern California. But we dare say you
will agree with us that the navel as
well grows to very de!ectable per-
fection in the Whittier district.
1--WE are asking that you will place
this box of fruit upon your exhibit
tables as long as your self-restraint
will enable you to leave it there, and
where as many members of your or
ganization as is possible may see it.
At the end of that time we hope that
yourself and directors will find from
the consumption of it an inspiration
and desire to come here and see for
yourselves what a prosperous city
and what a home-loving people we
are here.
''If You do come at any time you
will find our headquarters at 116
Berry block, on Philadelphia street.
Please be assured it will give us
pleasure to extend the usual cour-
tesies to members of our organiza-
tion.
with this box of oranges goes our
best wishes for the prosperity and
success of your organization.

Mary PiCkfOrd in
Madame Butterfly

Mary Pickford, Americas sweet
est" and Ashland's favorite screen
actress, will be at the Vining Tues
day evening in an exquisitely artistic
portrayal of John Luther Longs
classic, Madame Butterfly"
The pathetic story of Cho-Cho-San
Madame Butterfly" as her treach-
erous American husband calls hers
told with infinite artistic skill. There
is no pretence of snowy theatricalism
in the staging of the production,
which has been accomplished with the
assistance of especially engaged au-
thorities on Japanese costumes and
manners. For settings, the most
beautiful japanese gardens in Amer
lea were used.
Triangle Pictures, Wednesday and
Thursday.
On Wednesday and Thursday even
1ngs, Triangle nights, the Vlnlng
Theatre will present two feature
films, comedy and a society drama,
making up an extraordinarily good
program. The comedy is something
new and better even that the past
Triangle offerings. In "Stolen Magic"
Raymond Hitchcock, Mabel Normand,
Mack Stennet and a supporting cast
of the cleverest comedians of the
screen present comedy scream with
a succession of funny episodes result
ing from the introduction of a Hindu
mystic with bunch of snakes into
an American household.
The problem of "Should a wife try
to hold a husband" is the central
theme of "Matrimony," with Julia
Dean in the stellar role. Little
Thelma Slater, four-year-old child
wonder who delighted an Ashland
audience in recent picture, bids fair
to displace Miss Slater as the star of
the production.

Material For

Some time ago the city council au-

the material for the new lights has

owing to extraordinary war orders,
but that the shipment is expected in
the near future and the new lights
will be put in Immediately upon the
arrival of the material.

Boys who go hunting in the vicin-

where they shoot. Some people were
fishing in the creek the other day
when bullet came whistling through
the water very near to the fishing
party. And the boys came down and
waded across to town in high glee
over their days sport, apparently en-
tirely unconscious of the danger they
had caused others by their careless
shooting.

A surprisingly large number of peo-
pie make Lithia park their daily
haunt, and any one of them whom
you meet will tell you of new walks
and beauty spots which they have dis
covered. The scope of Ashland's
parks may only be realized by sew

workers have constructed several
miles of footpaths on the hills above
the creek, and one day is just a be-
ginning if one wishes to "see it ALL"
