natural amphitheatre, the children's
Fairgrounds with every modern
equipment, asphalt tennis courts, the
newly set grove, rose gardens, drives
but what's the use, I'm out Of
breath.
"The auto camp grounds is at the
upper end of Lithia park. Here, in
the heart of a grove, is a camp for
twelve or fourteen camping parties,
and every provision for their con-
venience and comfort is provided. On
either side of pathway are num-
bered posts, these being set far
enough apart to provide for tent
room Very near is a camp house
always open, this containing just as
many lockers as there are posts, and
also having corresponding numbers,
the lockers built on the air-draft
plan and intended for the storage Of
food, utensils, ETC., during the stay.
The crowning feature of this build
ing, however, is the cooking equip
ment-just as many gas stoves as
there are lockers, and these num-
bered likewise. No one has to ask
questions or get directions-every-
thing is fool proof, and once on the
auto camp grounds all one has to do
is to eat, drink and be merry. And
he can drink the nectar that Jupiter
sips without having to trot more
than ten steps to as fine fresh water
as ever flowed from granite noun
tain. If he has not the provisions
he desires he can step into tele-
phone booth (of which there are
three in the park, call for any busi-
ness house he desires and have the
goods delivered at his post. At night
his front yard and the entire park are
electric lighted, and If he is there on
either Wednesday or Saturday night
the family and sit near the front
door and enjoy the sweet cadences
floating from the big bandstand,
where either the Ashland or Medford
band plays on these nights, frequent
ly offering special features in the
way of local or visiting artists. In
the camp is a register, and since
June an average of eight camping
parties a day have registered there,
the list showing groups from prac-
tically every state in the union.
Ashland also spent $1,1O0 in
making a two-mile high drive on the
mountain above the city, this fur
nishing view that is not surpassed
by many anywhere on the globe.
ashland certainly has done splen-
did things for the touring autoists.
but in doing this has she not done
more for herself?"

ters the City park. This is two acres
in extent, is matter of beautiful
lawn, perfectly kept flower beds and
walks, and a two-lot lake filled with
pond lilies. This is a park Ashland
has enjoyed several years. Immedi-

water springs, open air auditorium,
picnicking grounds with tables, gas
stoves, cobblestone receptacles for
burning trash, on past steep hillsides
covered with vines and ferns, over
well-made paths through the wood
lands that skirt the stream, the
banks of which are covered with
masses of flowers, and ever to the
right, in the open-from which no
less than thirty houses were moved
to secure the space-there is in view
artistically arranged beds of flowers

of which came from the recent expo

springs, or the majestic poplar tree
that at night is a myriad of electric
lights, or the great rustic bandstand,
