Broom Factory
Machinery Sold

The Southern Oregon Broom Fac
tory of Ashland is no more. The af-
fairs of the company, which was a
corporation in which a number of
Ashlanders held stock, are being
closed up. The machinery was sold
last week to Ross Houston of Ia
coma, Wash, who is loading 1t for
removal to that city, According to
V, o. N. Smith, who was one of the
Ashlanders most vitally interested in
the project, the only thing on which
they made money was some dye
which they bought at one dollar a
pound and sold for two owing to a
rise in price due to war conditions.
The broom industry failed to pay be-
cause of varied number of reasons.
1t was located in a building on Third
street near the freight depot.

Roseburg Boys
Band May Come

The committee on bands for the
Springs Dedication Celebration have
under consideration the employment
of the boys band of Roseburg, but
before final arrangements can be
made someone must be found that
will contract to feed them three meals
day. There are about thirty of
them and they are willing to camp
They will bring their own bedding,
but should any Of our citizens have
cots to spare they would confer a
favor upon the committee if they will
communicate with it on accommoda-
tions and let them know about same.
These boys come from the very best
families OF Roseburg and their music
is highly recommended. Should any
of the citizens be willing to take any
of these boys in their homes during
this celebration it would tighten the
expense of the committee considera-
bly, and would be considered as a do
nation to funds necessary to pay the
expenses of this celebration.

Concession
COmmitte Busy

M. E. Briggs and Harry Hosler, the
committee on concessions for the
Springs Dedication Celebration, have
been busy all day today working out
plans for the locations of concessions,
both in the park and on the streets
OF the city. These locations will be
sold and the money will be used to
defray the expenses of the celebration
An especially low rate will be asked
for eating stands, as the visitors must
be fed. Here is an opportunity for
the church societies to make some
money, and any individual can get
concession of this kind and undoubt-
edly make a good deal more than
double day wages. Here is also an
opportunity for the schoolboys to get
their brains working to devise some
sort of sport, like throwing base
balls at niger babies, and thereby
make a good-sized piece of pin money.
Temporary stands or concessions OF
any kind will not be permitted in any
part of the city or parks without
permit from the city recorder, and he
will not, according to the ordinance,
issue any except on the order of the
chairman of the committee on conces-
sions, NJ. E. Briggs. The cost of the
concessions will depend upon the To-
cation and what is intended to be
sold.

Friday Musicale
Much Enjoyed

A large and appreciative audience
enjoyed piano recital Friday even
ing at the Congregational church, In
which Elizabeth Will Goodman pre-
sented her pupils.
Miss Miriam Gregg gave a reading
in her inimitable style and was heart
lily encored.
Dolly Darling" sung by Zelda
Monroe, accompanied by lnez Monroe
on the piano, was very pleasing
"The Rosebird," sung by Robley Ned
Ellis and accompanied by Sybil Ellis
was perfect in rendition.
The duets by Vera Warren, Clara
Will and Eva Hash were good, az
was also the number by Mary Jane
Wiley and George Wiley. March
Impromptu," by Low, and Hunters
Chorus" from der Freisehutz, by Won
Weber, were quite difficult and rem
dered from memory by Clifford and
Flora Putnam.
Clara Will, Inez Monroe and Sybil
Ellis played their respective duets
from memory. The trio, "Schneeg-
lockchen," by three girls, Mildred
Stevens, Clara Will and Sybil Ellis,
was one of the special features on the
program.
"Chiming Bells" by Inez Monroe;
echo in the Woods" by Eva Hash;
"Maypole Dance" by Virginia Jones;
Cricket and Bundle Bee," by Sybil
Ellis, were thoroughly memorized
and splendidly given by pupils so
young.
The selections by Mary Jane Wiley
and George Wiley, as well as Men
delssohn's Spring Song" and mil
Wheel" by Clara Will, were excel
lent in tempo, style and rhythm
Rustic Dance" by Clifford Putnam,
was rendered in a characteristic man
ner, and the nimble finger work of
Flora Putnam in Peasants Frolic,"
by Gurlitt, and "Whip-poor-will"
were very commendable.
Melody of Love-" by Englemann,
always a favorite, was we'll played
with good expression by Loletia Pier
son. The two numbers played by
Lyle Sans we're splendid in style and
singing tone. The skill and dexterity
of his fingers as well as his splendid
Interpretation were remarkable.
Among the heavier numbers on the
program was the selection by Mr..
Vernon Doran and his teacher, which
was full of bass and tenor solos.
f'Wandering Jew" by Burgmuller,
rendered by Lyle Sans and Mrs.
Goodman, was difficult. The oper-
attic overture, "Caliph of Bagdad," by
Boeldieu, rendered by Lyle Sans
and Elizabeth Will Goodman, was
given excellent Interpretation in
tempo, expression and technic, and
concluded the program.

Crowds Attend
Bungalow Opening

The Bungalow was most auspicious-
ly opened Friday evening. several
hundred peopel visiting the attractive
building and the tables being crowd
ed and refilled time after time from
1880 to IL o'clock. Among the visit
ors were several auto parties OF Med
ford and valley people, and to the
out-of-town visitor The Bungalow
promises to become favorite lunch
ing place.
The exterior of the great bungalow
like structure is illuminated with
thirty-six decorative lights. An at
tractive sign proclaims the refectory
to be "The Bungalow" Outside and
in the building is finished in brown
stain. Screened in on all sides with
fine mesh steel screen, the new re-
freshment pavilion promises to be the
coolest place in the valley throughout
the summer.
Twenty tables which will accommo-
date eight people are arranged on the
outer edge of the dancing floor. The
tables and the chairs were specially
built and are finished with a natural
waxed finish. Hanging baskets con-
tanning beautiful potted plants and
ferns are hung from the rafters and
baskets of roses adorned the tables
and walls.
Dinner parties filled most OF the
tables during the early evening hours
Friday. After eight O'Clock major
ity of the visitors dropped in for light
refreshments and stayed to enjoy the
dancing.
Music by a piano, tango-banjo,
and drums combination proved to be
the most "pepful" article of its kind
ever offered in Ashland and few were
able to resist the enlivening strains
which enticed them out onto the pol
ished floor.
The management received host of
compliments upon the attractiveness
of the establishment and upon the
food and service, which was first class
in every respect. The Bungalow
steaks are culinary achievements and
are already building up a worthy
name for themselves. Salads, sand
wiches, short orders OF all kinds,
cakes, ice cream, sundaes and ices
and fountain drinks in all the de-
manded flavors and mixtures are
served.
The management of The Bungalow
in as far as is possible handles Ash |
handmade goods. Ice cream, crisp
cites, cigars, bakery goods, lunch
goods, candies and, in fact, nearly |
everything sold at The Bungalow are
made at home" products, which
guarantees their freshness and pur-
ity,

vining Offerings
OF the Week
Monday.


Tonight's attraction at the Vining
is another of the "Dluebird" photo
plays which are creating such a ia
vorable impression upon the Ashland
motion picture loving public. John
Needham's Double" with Tyrone
Power in the stellar role, is thrill
ing story of plot and intrigue with a
battling dual impersonation gained
by a marvellous Photographic trick
cry. Tyrone Power acts the dual role
of John Needham and Joseph Nor
bury, two men who look alike, and
in the play gives himself drugged
wine, drops dead to the floor, ex-
changes clothing with himself and
walks out of the room leaving his
own body lying on the floor.
Tuesday.
Dustin Farnum and William Far
mum coming on two successive nights
is an exceptionally attractive piece of
news to the movie fans, as the work
of the two brothers is a much dis
cussed question as to superiority and
an opportunity will be given for close
comparison. On Tuesday night Dus-
tin Farnum ani Wednesday William
Farnum will appear in leading roles
of exceptionally strong photoplays.
On Tuesday Dustin Farnum comes in
The Call of the Cumberlands," a
story replete with red-blooded action
and heart interest, filmed from the
book by Charles Neville Buck. It
tells in an elaborate detail of pic
torial and dramatic effect the story
of the feudal activities of two factions
in Kentucky, involving stirring events
of traditional import, which find
their end in the Staying of human
beings. Spectacular in this regard
and remarkably beautiful in natural
scenic equipment, the production
stands out as one of exceptional
merit.
The production presents Dustin
Farnum, the popular screen star, in a
role that suits him to the fullness OF
his talents. AS Samson South, leader
of the clan Of Souths, Mr.. Farnum
carries one in sympathetic favor
the trials of feudal intrica-
cies to the pinnacle of success as an
artist and on to true love and the
end of a thrilling story.
Wednesday.
William Farnum in "a Soldiers
Oath" is the Wednesday night fea-
ture at the Vining. The play is a
gripping screen mirror of war, love,
and struggle in which the
battle of nations and the struggle of
human hearts are displayed side by
side with equal vividness. 1t gives
William Farnum a great opportunity
or putting over" his great ability,
md even without the great Farnum
would rank as one of the greatest |
pictures of recent months.

Promises Greatest Assembly Yet

1t will be good news to a host Of
our readers to learn that the twenty
fourth annual session of the Southern
Oregon Chautauqua Assembly will be
held July 7-1S, inclusive.
Although most of the talent was
engaged last October, first-class tai
ent has to be engaged months in ad-
vance and some stars" one and two
years before filling their dates,
Chautauquas have multiplied all over
the United States, and while it is
only forty-six years since the Mother
Chautauqua at Chautauqua, N. Y,
was started by the combined efforts
of Doctor, afterwards Bishop, Vim
cent and Mr.. Miller, there are more
than two thousand in the United
States today. 1t is an American in
stitution, which has and is doing a
vast amount of uplifting by bringing
the best in oratory, music and enter
