Roseburg Review.

Charles H. Fisher, editor OF the
Capital Journal at Salem, and one
of the owners of the Eugene Guard
by Mrs. Fisher, arrived
here last evening from Medford and
Crater Lake, where they attended
the annual meeting of the State Eo-
itorial Association.
Mr.. Fisher, like other editors VINO
have passed through Roseburg en-
route to their homes after attending
the convention, says the meeting
was probably the best ever held by
the association. In addition to the
business sessions, which were in
structive as we'll as entertaining, the
editors and their families were en-
tertained quite extensively by the
people of Medford and Ashland. At
the latter city the editors were ban
quoted in Lithia park, as we'll as
being treated to a sightseeing trip
about the town. A banquet was also
one OF the features arranged by the
people of Medford for the entertain
ment of the editors and their fam
lilies.

traction surrounding the gushing
mineral springs. - Being on the main
auto and railway tourist routes from
California, this park will ultimately
prove paying attraction.
The feeling of welcome was thrust
upon all auto tourists on entering
the city limits of Ashland, where
large signboards were posted, read
ing welcome to Ashland" and in
small type below, mentioning the
speed limitations. This welcome"
feeling was further fostered on leav-
ing the city limits to find printed on
the reverse side of these signboards
the words Come Again" .
Every section of Oregon and the
northwest might we'll profit from the
example of the Rogue river commun-
tiles, for there cooperation and pub
lic-spiritedness have reached the
highest degree, with good substan-
tial returns as the result.

Astoria Evening Budget.

Ashland, now famous for its Lithia
park and its multiplicity of mineral
waters, was the center of attraction
after the first days session. Here
the citizens provided an OPEN air
luncheon of the daintiest character
after the editors returned from an
automobile trip over the Siskiyou
mountains to the California line.
The park itself has been converted
into a fairyland with its twinkling
electric lights artistically placed
among the trees and along the paths
leading through the natural forest.
In the development of the park moth
ing that nature provided has been
disturbed, but the landscape beauti-
fled with bubbling fountains, running
cascades, various colored flower beds,
camp grounds, winding roads, chill
dren's Fairgrounds, bandstands, re-
freshment resorts, comfort stations
all of these things for the enjoyment
of the people. The editors stood in
amazement at the accomplishment
when they learned that Ashland, a
city of not over 5000 people, bonded
itself for $4,000 to give this mag
nificent donation of nature to the
present and future generations.
Lithia water is destined to become
famous the world over. 1t flows in
a living stream over the rock-ribbed
hills of southern Oregon into the lap
of Ashland. Its commercial value
has been capitalized by the people.
In addition to the five distinct quail
tiles of mineral water flowing into
the fountains of Lithai park, the city
maintains two large natatoriums.
Here sulphur baths can be had both
for amusement and restoration of
health.
Ashland has well-paved streets, a
good hotel, finely kept business
houses and is the home of the world
famed Crawford peaches.

Following are few of the impress
sions voiced or rather penned by the
editors of the state upon their re-
turn from the convention in Medford
with the entertainment at Ashland
and other valley points and at Crater
Lake. To print one-tenth OF the nice
things that have appeared in the
newspapers of the state recently con-
cerning Ashland would require
special edition:
NJ. ]. Shoemaker i'm ROsebuPg News.
After the business of Friday after
noon had adjourned, the delegates
and their ladies were taken in autos
to Ashland and from there over the
scenic Siskiyou Highway to the Cali
fornia state line, then back to Ash
land. where the ladies of that city
and the Commercial Club had ar
ranged lunch in their beautiful and
soon-to-be famous Lithia park. The
natural beauties of this wonderful
place can not be overrdescribed, and
one needs not draw very vividly upon
the imagination to see this very
shortly one of the most popular and
heavily visited resorts along the
western coast. To do justice to this
enchanting spot would require a
separate article, and to properly ap-
preciate it's alluring restful shade
and quietness, the murmur OF its fall
ing waters and the glamour OF Its
myriads of electric lights twinkling
through the branches, one must GO
there and stay.
The kind of progressive citizens in
Jackson county can easily be seen
when 1t is stated that Ashland voted
s175.OOO in bonds to buy and keeI
ND and adorn this beauty spot for a
park. and that the county voted
100000 to build and hard surface
roads. a splendid example of which
is shown in the continuous stretch
of boulevard between the two cities
of Medford and Ashland.

THE EDITORS AND LITHIA PARK.

Ashland can not realize the
amount of interest which was aroused
and publicity gained by the recent
visit of the editors of the state to
southern Oregon, and especially to
Ashland. The results are becoming
apparent in such an overwhelming
manner as to be almost incredible.
Ashland's Lithia park made the
greatest impression of all on the Wis
iting newspaper men. Crater Lake
they knew was to be the most impress
siye sight that most of them had
ever seen They anticipated the lake
and also the beauties of the Siskiyou
Highway, but Lithia park, brought
from a tangle of backyards into its
present wondrous beauty within the
short space of two years, simply cap
tured them. These newspapermen
are alive to beauty, but to them the
beauty Of Lithia park was secondary
to the fact of achievement. 1t was
the building of the park more than
the park itself which has caused them
to fill columns of their papers with
descriptions and praise. The visit OF
the editorial association is the great
est single thing which has happened
to Ashland in the forwarding of the
city's ambitions. Were it possible
for every reader of the Tidings tC
read the columns of praise of Ash
land which have appeared in prac
tically every paper in the state dur
ing the past week, or were it possible
for the Tidings to publish even
portion of the description and prais'
which has been read by the peopl
OF Oregon, realization of what tn
past visit means to Ashland might b
attained.

| bring these two talks" together
in this fashion since there is often
considerable confusion between the
two terms. Both are used rather
loosely and the one frequently en-
ployed for the other.
However, they do not mean at all
the same thing. 1t is true that indf
yiduality cannot amount to a great
deal unless there is the strength OF
good personality to enforce it, and
personality is usually most striking
when of an individual or distinctive
type.
Personality, of course, is what we
usually mean when we say man or
woman has magnetism. 1t is that IN
his or her makeup which makes 1t
felt by others. In the case OF the
orator it holds the people spellbound
and makes them believe with him ir-
respective of the soundness or falla-
cies of his reasoning. In the case
of the actress it causes them to laugh
or weep with her. While l have
never known a case, it is possible
that two or more people might draw
this power or magnetism from quail
ties that are identical in each of their
persons.
Individuality, however, belongs to

In the first place, l did not believe
that any such wonderful thing ex-
listed as Crater Lake. In the second
place, l find it hard to believe there
are enough people in the world to
eat up all the pears raised in the
Rogue River valley. In the third
place, / had no idea there was such
beautiful spot in the western
country as Lithia park at Ashland.
Also, did not before think that 1t
was possible for two towns the size
of Medford and Ashland, situated as
they are within thirteen miles of each
other, to be upon such friendly
terms. In Medford we were fur
nished with literature descriptive Of
the town and county, and at least
one-third of the pages were devoted
to extolling the advantages and
beauties of Ashland. In Ashland
we heard only good words spoken of
Medford. There are many towns in
close proximity to each other which

Talks With Screen-Struck Girls

a persons very own self 1t is indi-
vidual because it is to be found no
where else. It is the mark of dis
tinction between a man and all the
rest of the world.
Real superiority in anything is SUI
perior first of all because 1t is indi-
vidual; because it is different, and
better in this difference, than any of
its competitors. This is particularly
true of all art, including most en-
phatically motion picture acting.
Don't ever contemplate becoming
great screen star through apeing
some actress who has already won
fame. At best you can never do bet
ter than become fair imitation Of
her, and there is a terrific difference
between the money value of an imi-
tation and the genuine article. l
have seen many girls with Mary
Pickford curls. They have fairly
stormed the picture studios in their
search for work. Hundreds of ambi-
tious chaps have developed the Char
lie Chaplin walk, and year or two
back John Bunnys doubles were pop
ping up from every quarter. But
none of these limitations has ever got
anywhere near the motion picture
Hall of Fame.
If ever you become a celebrated
screen actress it will be because Of
talent that is your own. Unless you
now have that talent inside yourself
and have it as a distinctive and in
dividual factor in your makeup, don't
hope to become star. 1t may be
very latent talent and will doubtless
require lot of developing and hard
work; but just the same, such as it
is, it must be there and it must be
YOURS.

shared Medford's generosity and pro-
vided the guests with her own gen
erosity as supplemental to that OF
the former.
These two cities appeared most
charming to the visitors, who at the
close of the business session Friday
afternoon we're given a delightful
automobile ride over the concrete
highway to the summit of the Siski-
you mountains and the California
line. This ride proved a revelation
to most of those who made the trip.
Ii was a demonstration of the com
mon saying that country can not be
Judged by what is seen from the rail-
road trains. The highway brings one
closer to the facts as they are. One
can not help but feel that upwards
of fifty miles of Jackson county S
highways will need very little in cash
for maintenance for generations TO
come.
On the return from the Siskiyous
the autos landed their loads of edit
ors in the famous Lithia park. There
was a feast for the eyes and a real
feast of viands served in novel style.
Several columns might be written to
try to make plain the beauties and
delights of this park. Only a visit
and a good long one to get compre-
hension of improvement that has
been wrought in beautiful natural
setting, is the only way to absorb the
ideas embodied in the expenditure OF
nearly 100000.
The special delights of the PARK
are the ripple of Ashland brook, the
splendor of the lights and the rich
ness of the music that was furnished.

Ashland, with its magnificent Lith-

on Friday, after an interesting trip
over the Siskiyou Highway. The
tone of hospitality pervaded the en-
tire period of the convention and the
two cities literally outdid themselves
to make the convention a record
breaker. An open air banquet at
Lithia park was a feature of the trip
to Ashland and an address of well
come was made by the chief execu-
tive of the city.

The EDITORS were most enthusias-

Both cities seem to be in the way OF
becoming important towns on the
coast. There are optimists there by
the score and the pear growers are
beginning to realize upon their many
years of hard work. The Lithia park
at Ashland is the most unique thing
of the kind in the west and is going
to make that city popular watering
