We understand that there are
quite a number of strangers Oper
ating in this county in the inter.
eS of certain oil companies. Oul
people will do well TO exercise
some care in leasing their lands
They had better try TO get some
company or companies to come
into this territory who are willing
TO spend some money to develop
our oil lands if we have any.
Some agents are running over the
county with no idea of develop
ing and mean to sell their leases tC
anyone that will pay small sum
for them. In this way you may
tie up yOnr property so that il
will be almost impossible TO get
real develOpement started in this
county.
Notice is requested to the adv.
of the Rockcastle Oil and Gas Co.
The gentlemen who are looking
after the interest of this company
are trying to provide the means to
test this county and find out for a
certainty whether or not there is
an oil pool underlying RocGcaslle
county. You will notice that this
Company has associated with it,
Geo. B. Williams, of Irvine, who
has done so much to develop the
Estill county pool. He knows
more about getting the proper
people interested here than any
man in the state. w. J. Sparks
tells us that Mr.. Williams has al
ready secured one good company
TO put down a well at once in the
territory of Rockcastle Oil &Gas
Co. Other will follow and by
September Ist we may expect to
see several wells started i'm the
lands leased hv the RnotcactIa
OH & Gas Co. Let the good
work begin and 60 on until we
know what we have beneath these
hills.

From time to time since the
European war began, protest has
been made by Germany, bv pro
Germans in this country, and b,
uniformed or sentimental people
generally, against the methods OF
the blockade imposed by the allies
against the central powers
Especially has it been charged
that the allies had no right to in

wanted to buy from us. Cotton

Suggests Solution
OF Big Problem

A majority Of the campers in
Chautauqua Park have packed up
and moved home. However, a great
many are remaining in the park,
some preferring to live in the cool
park rather than at home, and some
out-of-town people who wish to make
a longer stay in Ashland and cannot
find a suitable cottage.
There is scarcity of cottages Of
the kind which are suitable for sum-
mer visitors. In fact, late arrivals
in the city find trouble in finding
houses of any kind. This is some
thing that Ashland needs.
1t has been suggested, and ap-
pears to be very feasible plan, that
the Chautauqua association should
make arrangements for caring for
the summer visitors who wish to find
accommodations for the summer, by
either building tent accommodations
themselves or leasing the concession

past so that right now they are hav-
ing all kinds of trouble in finding a
way to continue their contribution of
$25 a month to the band.
Visitor Speaks.
n. r. Moore, one of the regents at
Oregon Agricultural College and long
an admirer of Ashland, who is down
here working for the Pendleton nor
NAL amendment and to attend the
State Editorial Association conven-
tion, spoke briefly, telling how but
for an accident he would be an Ash
lander and how Corvallis was pat
terning its development after that of
Ashland. Ashland is the one town
in the state that is better than Cor
vallis," stated Mr.. Moore after re-
marking that they would butcher him
at home if he said such a thing with
out putting Ashland in second place
He briefly stated the Pendleton nor
NAL situation and expressed his hope
that the Ashland normal would soon
come into being again.
1t was we'll after II O'Clock when
the gathering dispersed, taking with
them several new things to think
about and new enthusiasm for the
work which lies ahead of Ashland.
TO see such a meeting at this time
of the year when usually town is
barely existing, augurs we'll for the
activity of the coming months and
speaks highly of the Greater Ash
land" spirit which permeates the city.

"The roundup has shown what
courage, persistence and intelligent
effort will accomplish for a commun-
ity when the community has to make
good or lose heavily" Using the
roundup as a comparison, Mr.. Greer
expressed his absolute belief that
Ashland if the citizens will take the
same attitude that the roundup back
ers did and 60 forward with the same
courage, can accomplish things which
no one now dreams of, and can make
the entire proposition pay for itself,
eliminating taxes. Stating that the
estimates of the amount of money
left in Ashland varied from $40, 900,
as the most conservative, to $780,
600, and accepting the conservative
estimate, Mr.. Greer asked, "Who
would not invest $1,000, the amount
subscribed by the citizens for the
celebration, as community, to bring
$4,000 into the community"
Stating that there were three
things, timber, water and lights,
which attracted men to such places
as Ashland, Mr.. Greer expressed a
hope that Ashland might be made the
best lighted city in the country, and
stated that the city should own cleo
trio light streamers to make the
streets blaze of brilliancy from the
station to the entrance to Lithia
Park upon all special occasions.
Bonfire Celebration.
An outline of plan for another
celebration to be held this year was
advanced by Mr.. Greer. When the
Southern Pacific people were here,
Mr.. Mccormick expressed his belief
that Ashland should and could at
tract crowd of at least 10000 this
fall, and outlined plan which Mr..
Greer explained to Tuesdays gather
ing.
Down in Atlanta, a celebration
called a Bonfire Event" was held,
which, according to Mr.. Mccormick,
attracted one of the largest crowds
ever gathered in the south. "And
Atlanta has no such background as
Ashland canyon for such an event"
On behalf Of the railroad company he
promised that should Ashland get
behind such celebration, the rail-
road would get behind It hammer
and tongs."
THE bonfire celebration ,would
cost In the neighborhood OF $4,000,
out OF which a good part in materials
could be salvaged. Such an event
would be entirely unique in the west
and, according to the belief Of the
railroad officials, would bring an
even greater crowd than we had be-

sort development, but industries,
were considered in his talk, one state
ment to the effect that 1--WE should
have the largest cannery on the Pa
cific coast here" being particularly

The Dead Indian road to Crater
Lake led Mr.. Briggs into series of
entertaining and humorous reminis-
cences and an eulogy of the beauties
of the country through which it pass
es, which Mr.. Briggs lays claim to
as his favorite camping country in
the west. Summer homes on Lake
Of the Woods we're centerpieces of an
attractive word picture describing
the beauties which an auto road
would open up. He dwelt upon the
possibilities of government aid in
building the road through the forest
reserve, and upon a motion a COM
mittee Of three will be named to
communicate with our senator and
Representatives in an effort to get
this assistance.
Mr.. Briggs put in good word for
the subscription list being circulated
by Leander Neil, and ended up with
an appeal to the city to broaden out,
cut out the narrowness, allow every
man his own way of enjoyment as

others or commit wrong"
George Owens.
George Owens stated that Mr..
Briggs had pretty we'll covered the
ground between Ashland and Crater
Lake, and that he could add but lit
tie, but corroborated and added to
Mr.. Briggs descriptions.
b. r. Greer.
B. R. Greer asked, How many of
you present have been to the summit
of Mount Ashland?" Being an
swered by a scattering of hands, he
plunged into description of what
he had found upon his first visit to
that eminence, which, he proclaimed
himself ashamed to say, was just two
weeks ago. He told of the effect
which the view from Mount Ashland
had upon L. o. Mccormick of the
Southern Pacific, man who has
climbed in the Alps and many of the
great mountains of America, and
who praised the view as being one
of the greatest of them all. He told
how Mr.. Scott had ridden to the very
top on horseback, proving the trip
to be easy for any tourist, A good
auto road to the end of the govern
ment road, with cabin hotel there
and accommodations to carry the
tourists to the top on horses from
there, Mr.. Greer stated were already
being considered and would be ac-
complished within the next year or
two.

to some person who would handle
it, and such man will not be hard
to find. If the proposition is han
died by a lessee it should cover a
five-year period so that the lessee
would be justified in making a good
sized investment in house-tents and
furnishings which would be a credit
to the park. A better place for such
a tent city, with, for instance, streets
OF slightly and uniform brown duck
tents, boarded floors and sides. could
not be found, and such a proposition
should be a paying investment from
the minute it is finished. Rentals
could be made so reasonable that
people from all over the valley and
from more distant points would flock
to them for their summers resi-
dence.
Cooking should not be allowed in
the park. 1t is the cooking which
litters up the park and furnishes the
disagreeable elements of the park
camping plan. The hotels and res
taurants should receive the benefit
of the summer visitors.
This project could be made an in
come producer, whether leased or
handled by the Chautauqua people
themselves, and by next summer the
crowds will be coming to such an
extent that some such way of fur
nishing accommodations must be
found Several hundred people are
here for this summer and the fame
OF Ashland's attractions cannot help
but have spread to such an extent
as to treble the number of visitors
next year.

| fore because no counter attractions
would keep people from coming and
the advertising would cover a much
bigger territory, statevbgkq cmfwyp
bigger territory" stated Mr.. Greer.
The plan as outlined included a
great bonfire event in the canyon the
first night with several hundred of
the monster blazes, with changing
colors produced by chemicals, all over
the hillsides, the bonfires being pro-
duced In 1 unique way in baskets of
chemical soaked waste high on poles.
Then the day following, one of the
officials suggested preparedness
parade or some such feature, and the
second night a grand electrical dis
play on the hillside above the park,
in which several miles of colored
lights could be strung and a beauti-
full variety of effects be produced by
switches and colored bulbs. Mr..
Greer stated that of course he could
not fully outline the attraction which
such an event would be, but that as
details were worked out its appeal
would become greater.
In the matter of financing such an
event he held that it is not right that
the merchants, some forty or fifty
men, should provide the funds while
the whole city profited, and that the
affair should be handled as a munich
pal affair. He closed with an appeal
to the citizens to put forth their
greatest efforts within the next few
months, stating that capital is on
the verge of coming into Ashland,
progression will bring in an ava
lanche of big things, standing still
at this time will lose them" One of
the main ideas of the celebration
which is projected for next Septem-
ber is to bring a group of the really
big financial men of Portland and
San Francisco and their eastern
friends here, this being a result
which is promised with the Inaugural
tion of the event.
Upon unanimous vote committee
of three will be appointed to ask the
council to buy, on credit if necessary,
several thousand feet of wire and
sockets to be used at the September
and other celebrations and to be the
permanent property of the city.

Package condensed mince meat ig made up today of the best quality or dried fruit and other items which can be found, all, of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitares the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are or the best grade of New. York State where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisiE5 used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent flaVors or different granulauon re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of minee meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked by people trained to know what shoulf and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean 1t ylsay be, and make up thG filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn -beeI which you and 1 would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us nince Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house. wife as miuce meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and 1t is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company ard it will Joe $ good dessert free from dirt. 1t is our thorough belief that a naince meat pie made from condensed m1nce meat IS about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mir1ce meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it rure every day of the year with regular force of helpers. We ship goods fc every part Of the country the entire year This Of course Eneaus a great increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten cnIy the winter months which means an in creased s.ale over the former ater consumption.
