Lake Of the Woods
Lots for Campers

Will Dodge, who has just returned
from trip to Lake of the Woods
and beyond, states that at the south
ern end of the lake, adjoining the
old camping grounds, the govern
ment has completed the survey Of
ten lots, each rs by 265 feet, to be
leased to campers. The lots are
leased from year to year at an an
nual rental of $5 each, and each oc-
cupant has the first chance to release
for each succeeding year. About
half of the lots are already taken.
1t is understood that when these are
all spoken for additional lots will be
surveyed. Coleman and Reams of
Phoenix have a special concession lot
$50 by 265 feet on which they will
put up tents with floors for campers
next year. They expect also to have
boats on the lake for rent to camp
ers next year. There have been fine
rainbow trout caught in the lake this
year. The Lake of the Woods prom
ises to become one of the most pop
ular summer resorts for campers in
southern Oregon.

Auto Camp Host
To 1900 Tourists

Over lao automobile tourists
have registered in the free auto
camp ground at Ashland during the
period from May 10 to August 81.
Many using the grounds have not
registered. and it is conseryatively
estimated that not less than 1000
persons from many parts OF the
United States have spent one or
more nights at the camp grounds
this summer, many staying several
days
This camp is believed to be the
first one ever established in the
United States for the free and exclu-
sive use of automobile tourists. Dur
ing the summer 1t has proved to be
one of the most attractive spots on
the Pacific coast to travellers from
many places, and from far and near
have come praises for the great COM
fort it has brought to travel-stained
sojourners. Among the localities
from which the visitors have regis
tered are Alaska, Arizona, California,
Colorado Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Min"
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
homa, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washing
ton. Manila, P. l., and Peking, China.
These grounds are situated on the
bank of Ashland creek among the
trees and flowers in Lithia park,
about ten minutes walk from the
Ashland postoffice. Ample space is
provided for the parking of automo-
biles. a fresh cold water spring
gushes out of the rock encasement
clase at hand. and a kitchen provided
with gas plates and locker for each
plate stands among the trees at one
side of the grounds. Through 25-
cent slot meters the gas is furnished
to the plates, and there is no other
charge of any sort to all automobile
travellers who care to use the
grounds, the waters (fresh and min
eraD and all the privileges of the
parks.

City Makes Money
In Lithia Park

How many people in Ashland real
ize that $569.35 has been taken in
by the cup-vending machines in pen
MES and nickels in the last five
months and four days ending August
81? This happens to be the case,
and II has left the city handsome
profit over the original cost of the
vendors. For that matter, the net
profit has paid for five months serv-
ices of man at $39 per month for
cleaning up and other work connect
ed with the fountains.
This is one of the many ideas of
the springs water commission, which
should be installed to make the park
and water system self-sustaining,
but the lack of funds for initial in
vestments has hampered the commits
sion to carry out their ideas further
than the installation of the cup vend-
ors.
The following is an account of the
receipts and expenditures of the cup
vendors. The cups on hand have not
been taken into consideration, and,
if they were, it would show a still
greater profit

Professional Artist
In Lithia Park

Messrs. M. d. and c. H. Leisser OF
Pittsburg, Pa are in Ashland for an
indefinite. stay. The former is
professional artist and was found in
Lithia park by Tidings reporter.
He was comfortably seated in front
of his easel with many colors spread
out up his palette. A picture of the
creek was taking form and gave test
imony that Mr.. Leisser is, indeed, a
professional and understands his
business. The gentlemen are broth
ers. Mr.. C. H. Leisser is a mu-
sician and paints as a diversion, call
ing himself an amateur.
In January, 1915, the brothers
started west, intending to make a
tour of the world, but the great war
upset their plans, so they are spend
ing a year or two on and near the
western hemisphere in studying and
having delightful time. They
came west via New Orleans to San
Diego, thence to San Francisco, visit
ing the exposition. From here they
embarked for Honolulu and spent
six months on the Hawaiian Islands.
Next they came by Canadian line
to Victoria, B. c., and are now work
ing south along the coast Mr.. M
d. Leisser lived and studied for ten
years in France and Germany, and
says that upon seeing the olympian
mountain range in Washington it re-
minded him much of the scenery in
the Swiss and Bavarian Alps. The
atmospheric effects are much the
same, also, but of course the noun
tain proportions are much larger.

Distinguished Party
AT Hotel Austin

Stephen T. Mather, assistant to the
secretary of the interior of the Unit
ed States; E. o. Mccormick of San
Francisco, vice-president of the
Southern Pacific; John NJ. Scott OF
Portland. general passenger agent OF
the Southern Pacific for Oregon; Mr.
and Mrs. F. Harold White and Roger
and Ferris White of Chicago made
up party registered at the Hotel
Austin last Friday. Secretary Math-
er is in Oregon making an inspection
of Crater Lake national park.
During the stay of the party in
Ashland Mr.. E. o. Mccormick is
showing the secretary over the Ash
land parks. Friday afternoon B. X.
Greer took the party by automobile
to Longs cabin in Ashland Creek
canyon to give the distinguished WIS.,
itor an opportunity to see what the
government has here. Secretary
Mather was delighted and expressed
himself with almost unbounded en-
thusiasm regarding the beauty and
utility of Ashland's parks and the
Ashland creek watershed. He eX-
claimed: "Why, | expect to see a
city of $4,000 population here with
in five years. You have laid the
foundation for it and will surely see
the realization of your hopes If the
proper publicity is given to the en-
terprise and the work is constantly
followed up in an energetic way and
with intelligent planning. The en-
vironment is wonderful and the OPP
portunity exceptional to build a
beautiful city which will attract the
best people from all over the coun-
try"
Last fall Secretary Mather sent to
Ashland for a diagram of the parks
here. These were sent him, and at
a speech in Yellowstone park recent
ly he told of the Ashland automobile
camp grounds. In this speech Ash
land was the only city west of the
Rocky mountains which was men
toned. Before the senate commit
tee Secretary Mather argued the ma
tional park and aid bill which was
signed by President Wilson on Fri
day, August 25.

DunSmuir Band
Gives Fine Concert

Yesterday afternoon the Dunsmuir
band of twenty-five pieces gave a
splendid concert at the main band
stand in Lithia park. Fourteen Sc
lections were well rendered by the
band, and Miss Charlotte Simington
sang a delightful solo. The applause
was so hearty that she gracefully re-
sponded to the encore. There are
four Simington boys among the play
ers, the youngest, Freddie, being but
nine years old. He plays second
alto Mr.. H. d. Hill is the director
and is to be congratulated upon the
efficiency shown by the players.
many of whom are young boys. The
band returned to Dunsmuir on No.

Ashland was astir early this morn
ing. Good reason why, everybody
had important business on hand. The
public school bells rang out for the
first time in three months. The
mothers hustled around to wash
Johnnys ears and braid Mary's
tousled locks in time to land them
at the school house steps by $40.
All who saw the merry and expectant
faces on their way to the various
seats of learning with the enthusiasm
and vigor of youth must be bound to
declare that the old worn out tale
about school days being hard days is
all a myth.
The Ashland public schools are
open for the fall term. Superintend-

Railroad Strike Averted
By Congressional Enactment

The great railroad strike threat
ening to tie up the roads all over the
United States and stop car wheels
to an extent never before known in
this country has very happily been
averted.
The passage of the eight-hour day
by congress solved the immediate
difficulties, and three hours after
the bill was through the upper house
the heads of the employees brother
hoods of four great railroads
throughout the country notified their
general chairmen to cancel the order
to strike, which otherwise would
have gone into effect at o'clock
this morning.
The vote in the senate on the leg
islative enactment to prevent the
strike was 4S to 2S, practically on
strict party lines, and was taken
during exciting moments. Many
representatives of both the leading
political parties fought hard to in
sert amendments to the bill, which
were framed to prevent future indus
trial disturbances, but these efforts
were unsuccessful. But a few min
utes elapsed in both houses, follow
ing passage by the senate, before en-
actment was signed and it went at
once to the White House.
The measure that was successful
in averting the strike provides that
after January l, next, eight hours
shall be the basis upon which a
days pay shall be calculated for en-
ployes of railroad trains engaged in
interstate commerce, except roads

less than 100 miles long and electric
lines, Pay for work over eight hours
shall be on pro rata basis, and the
rate of pay shall not be changed for
from six to nine months, during an
investigation of the effect of the
eight-hour day upon the railroads.
The effects of a strike of these
proportions were dwelt upon at
length in papers throughout the
land. Many instances were cited to
show the far-reachlng effects of so
stupendous a labor disturbance, and
no doubt numerous results which
would soon be apparent were over
looked in the representation of
those attempting to forecast the diff
ficulties which might arise.
Many passenger trains were crowd
ed during the last hours preceding
the hour for the strike to take eff
feet, and shipping bills issued by the
railroads were marked Subject to
indefinite" delay, or words to this
effect. The railroad offices along
the line had also issued warnings to
travellers that all not reaching their
destinations by Sunday night would
he subiact IN deIav
The happy endign of so great
matter is cause for universal con-
graduation throughout the land.
Probably the greatest suffering
which would be caused by such a
strike would be among the people OF
the cities, who are most quickly af.
fected by disturbances in transporta-
tion. However, those of the small
towns are thankful for the outcome,
as well.

receiving fan perhaps five feet
or more in diameter. On the in
side of the circumference of the fan
wheel are sixty blades projecting to-
ward the axle of the wheel which
revolves the same as vehicle wheel.
This fan wheel forces the air through
a large iron conveyor directly over
the four oil-burning furnaces, where
the air is heated and carried directly
to the rooms through galvanized
pipes. Each room is supplied with
thermostat which acts automatically
and keeps the air at the desired tenn
perature. The air is forced in at
one end of the room and finds sew
eral exits. The system also provides
for the use of cold air along with
the air from over the furnaces and
is so arranged and operated that
every room is supplied with entirely
fresh air every three minutes.
A Standard electric time clock is
used to ring all class bells both in
side and outside the building. 1t is
set once in the fall for the entire
school year and acts automatically
The recitation rooms are furnished
with arm chairs and a teachers
library cabinet. The right wing OF
the building downstairs is used en-
tirely for the science department. 1t
is equipped with the Bausch & Lomo
projecting system for illustrating on
the screen everything from maps to
microscopic organisms. The Opaque
nroiection is used for post cards
mans and book illustrations. The
microscopic and lantern slide prolec-
tions are for archaeological, biolog-
ical and botanical work. For illus
+rations of chemical reactions the
yortical projection is provided. The
illustrations are thrown upon

innate site of the old Ashland Acad-
emy, where school was first conduct

years beginning in the early nineties.
The present building is particularly
