Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-05-11

'O"N '"V SdluGrllg because OF an In
terstate Commerce hearing, and sent
both his and Mrs. Scott's best wishes.
A copsratulatory telegram from E. o.
Mccormick, yice-president of the
Southern Pacific was read.
H. A. Hinshaw, general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific, CON
graduated those concerned immedi
ately and the city at large upon the
securing Of a first-olass hotel, out
lined some Of the bonds which bind
the Interests of the railroad and of
/ Ashland, and closed with the state
ment that Ashland with her advan-
tagee ought to become one of the
greatest health resorts in the west"
w. H. Jenkins, assistant general
passenger agent for the Southern Pa
cific, followed with a fine talk. He
told the story of the lark which did
not Bother about moving her young
from the field of grain as long as the
farmer depended upon his neighbors
10 harvest the grain but who moved
out rs soon as the farmer was heard
to make the decision to cut the grain
himself. He compared the people of
Oregon to the farmer and compli-
mented Ashland upon taking the in
tiative and deciding to attain needed
accomplishments itself rather than
passively wait for outside capital to
some and recognize the advantages
here. He proclaimed an interest in
Ashland both for himself and Mr..
Scott which is more than the official
interest Of the company but is a close
personal interest in the most beauti-
ful little city on the coast" He paid
high compliments to the spirit which
was bringing Ashland to the front on
the coast, and became almost poetic
in his remarks concerning the beau
ties and advantages which nature has
given Ashland. THE park is thing
of beauty, the views from the drives
unrivaled anywhere, and one who has
once drank of the water will always
come back" He closed with a few
reniaAss concerning the growing fame
of Ashland and an appeal, Let us
work together to make this not the
Carlsbad of America but The Ash
land of the World"
Chairman Reed of the committee
from the Commercial Club which was
instrumental in securing the bonus
for the hotel won his audience imme-
diately with witty talk in which he
told of some of the trials and tribula-
tions which the committee had met,

" U. N. Smith, paid a high compli-
ment to the spirit of cooperation

Bile, and made plea for continuation
