Says Distance
Is No Obstacle

C. l. Baxter of Los Angeles, presi-
dent of the Pacific Navigation Com
pany, which operates the steamships
Harvard and Yale between San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and San Diego,
passed through Ashland on No. 13
last Saturday, and when one of our
citizens began to tell him as to the
development of Ashland he said: Il
have long known of your development
and you have just cause to be proud
of your waters, as they unquestion-
ably have a great medicinal value,
which if made known to the world
will be the making of your city a
popular health resort"
When Mr.. Baxter's attention was
called to the fact that some of our
people believe that Ashland is located
too far from the dense population OF
the east he said: "Do not worry
about that, as to the moneyed people
the place that is farthest off is the
best place. 1t is one of the methods
of the rich that they have to show
that they have money, and it makes
no difference if you were located ten
thousand miles away, providing you
have the reputation and can furnish
the facilities for these people to spend
their money and enjoy themselves"

Valley Bankers
Lunch and Elect

The organization of what is known
as Group 5" of the Oregon State
Bankers Association was effected
Friday noon at the Hotel Oregon by
gathering of bankers of southern
Oregon. ]. w. Mccoy of Ashland was
elected chairman; w. H. Gore of
Medford, vice-chairman; Marshall
Hooper Of Grants Pass, secretary; H..
L. Gilkey of Grants Pass and r. F.
Antle OF Medford, members of the
executive committee.
Group 5 is subdivision of the
state organization, the state being
divided into groups for the purpose
of closer cooperation among the
bankers. Good results should en-
anate from the closer cooperation OF
the banks of southern Oregon
through the executive committee Of
the group. Lake, klamath, Jackson,
Josephine and Curry counties are in
cluded in this group.
The business meeting was preceded
by a most enjoyable luncheon served
in the Oregon grille around Manager
Dobbins' new electric table. Outside
of the delicious qualities of the food
set before the bankers, the chief fea-
ture of the luncheon was the beauti
full table, which is something the like
of which has never before been seen
in Ashland.
In the center of the great table out
OF pool If water rise several beauti-
full lilies, through and above which
spouts a filmy jet of water, falling
back over the lilies into the basin
below. This basin, which has di-
ameter of perhaps ten feet, is filled
with every variety of potted roses
and flowers of all sorts, creating a
verdant profusion Of beauty. Hidden
in the flowers and greenery are doZ-
ems of colored lights. The ensemble
produces beautiful effect which
adds greatly to the attractiveness of
the dining room and the enjoyment
of the diners.
The following ladies and bankers
we're present at the luncheon: Mes

Playground
Supervisor

There is no doubt that one Of the
most popular places in Lithia Park
is the children's playground, All day
a happy crowd Of youngsters take
turns at the swings or slides or teeter
boards. Many of the parents have
accompanied these children and there
is always brisk demand for some
one to push the swings.
For some time the playground
committee, composed OF Mesdames
Perozzi, Briscoe and Chattin, have
been cooperating with the springs
commission and the park board, and
they have secured the services OF
Miss Josephine Saunders, a popular
Ashland young lady, who has been
specializing on physical training at
Reed College. She will return to
Ashland in two weeks, and until her
return Miss Eunice Grubb will be in
charge of the playground daily.
The springs commission are going
to meet a popular demand in max ng
a sand box for the smaller children,
and other improvements are under
consideration.
The park board has appointed
Mesdames Vaupel and Van SAINT to
work with the playground committee.
The ladies have been granted the
privilege OF selling candy and ice
cream cones during band concerts in
the park, the entire proceeds to go
toward paying for the upkeep of the
Fairgrounds.
