WEAK ARGUMENTS

Just because we want to tote fair
and give everybody and every side
an opportunity to be heard, we give
space to two communications in to-
days paper from opponents of the
bond issue. We accord RESPECTFUL
consideration to the opinions of these
two gentlemen, whom we know and
like, but we do not think their
statements will make many votes
against the proposition. Mr.. Melton
has a hard-luck story, the refrain of
which Is the other fellow always
gets it," but he shouldn't place the
blame on the bond idea. 1t is possible
that he left town because paved
streets and sewerage were not desir-
able to him. and he did not care to
pay the few cents year that might
be added to his taxes to compensate
for their enjoyment; but, on the 9TH

the claims of the latter are the most

through the project which these men
carried through with everlasting
credit to themselves and to Ashland;
it took the spirit which says, I'VE

kept falling and the sun remained
hidden, did these men lose heart and
take the many avenues which were
open to them of saving portion Of
their investment, playing it safe?
No. With full realization that rain
meant ruin, they went ahead enlarg-
ing rather than minimizing their
plans, and when at the last minute
the gods favored them as the gods
always favor the game, they had an
entertainment ready for the crowds
which came which has never been
equaled between Portland and San
Francisco. Men of this mold are the
men who build cities and fortunes.

The Diary of a Bird.

(By Mary E. Sullivan, formerly OF
Ashland.)
My first recollection is of a morn
ing in June long ago. l found my
self compassed about by walls which
| could not look through. l lay
painting in the sunlight, and was so
thirsty. Presently a shadow came
between me and the sun, which
found to be my kind mothers wing.
My thirst was allayed by a delicious
strawberry still wet with the morn
ing dew dropped into my wide-open
mouth by my self-denying mother.
Nothing out of the ordinary hap
pened for a few days until one morn
ing my mother announced to me that
| would son have to try my own
wings. The voice in which she spake
seemed mingled with fear and regret.
1t puzzled me, as l thought that was
the easiest thing possible, to go out
and try the great round world"
Her advice to me at my first flight
was to endeavor to reach certain
bush with a broken twig which she
pointed out. In my self-conceited es-
TEEN of my own abilities l set the
mark of my flight to the caves of the
barn. Oh, cruel barn! l reached
my destination, but the next thing |
realized, l was picked up by kind
old gentleman who restored me to
the dear old walls of my first recol-
lection, where I was again tenderly
watched over by my patient mother
for a short time.

pass by and look up at me several
times. He had eyes like jewels, and
his paws were so soft and velvety it

harm one, and his manner spoke of
refinement. / asked my mother who

1t is not always so easy to see
through the sham of the school that
proposes to give results through the
personal touch. 1t can at times put
on quite a face of honesty. On this
account l consider it by far the more
dangerous of the two.
One of the best evidences that
these fake schools are perpetrating
their frauds with conscious intent is
the fact that they seldom present
themselves in their true colors. They
have roundabout and insidious
methods of getting their pupils.
Some Of them succeed in combining
forces with third-rate and unscrupu-
lous producers of motion pictures.
The producers naturally receive ap-
plications from inexperienced per-
sons who wish to become picture
stars and just as naturally they have
not positions for all. They can, how
ever, very easily make reply that
they are holding the applicants name
on file for future reference and
meantime advise him or her to take
a course with this or that school of
acting.
This advice is no recommendation
for the school. 1t merely means that
the producer is just as "crookedras
the school from which he undoubted-
ly receives a good split" of the tut
tion fee. l am glad to say that there
are but few producers who will lend
their names to this sort of villany,
but there are a few, and it behooves
the "screen-struck girl' to be eau
tious.

The following song, which is sung
to the tune of when ! Wore Tulip

written by Tracy Layne, the Pendle-

great deal during the roundup by the
cowboys. Many inquiries have been
made concerning the words, which
are therefore published:

There's buckaroos, bulldoggers, cow

And every one of them will happy be.
For this is going to be the greatest
time of all the year,
With all bright lights and all gay

So, come to the roundup, the Rogue

And we'll have grand old time.
