Returning from this trip, the citi-
zenry of Ashland, not yet fully re-
covered from their wild west" ex-
hibition, threw out the lasso of hos
pitality and without the least resist
ance roped every one of that frolic-
some band of editorial beasts and
made them captives within the fam
Gus corral of Lithia park, and what is
more to their everlasting credit, COM
pletely tied them with attention and
kept them closely confined until the
ladies had served ar with a magnifi-
cent box lunch of choice Ashland

tizing culinary arts that have won
for these ladies the most comforting
spot in the heart of every editor and
his wife.
Lithia park is one of the grandest
scenic attractions that could fall to
the lot of any city, and with the work
of nature, assisted by the hands Of
man and oiled with the outlay Of
some 100000, has produced an eff

noted eastern cities can not rival.

"Medford and Ashland, there are
no cities like them in Oregon, when
it comes to doing things and doing
them right"
This was the general verdict Of
the 1876 newspaper men and ladies
who attended the annual state ed
itorial association at Medford.
They can't say enough for the two
southern Oregon cities, for the splen-
did entertainment given them, for
the courtesy of the people, for the
beauty and hustle of the two cities,
for the magnificent roads and for the
spirit of optimism and progress Of
the people.
"If the people of our northern Ore
gon cities would only go down to
Medford and Ashland and catch their
spirit, there would be no more songs
of business depression" said one of
the upstate newspaper men' on his
return home.
Medford and Ashland have set
mark for doing things that is going
to be very hard for future cities
which will entertain the association
to maintain. These cities have the
real western way of going to propo-
sition-with pep" and enthusiasm
not as a matter of duty.

II is this: If fortunate enough to
secure a position as stenographer or
otherwise in a motion picture studio,
a girl may thus find an avenue by
which she can eventually "break"
into the acting end. AS a matter OF
fact. a good many girls try tins and
some with success. In its final an
alysis, of course, it comes down as

not the girl has the requisite talent
It is a common occurrence for the
office help in a great many of the
big studios to be called out on the
stage when there is an emergency
demand for extra people in a scene.
Sometimes a stenographer may be-
come quite prominent figure in a
production, and If she photographs
and acts we'll enough, the time will
come when she will be graduated
from the typewriter and permanently
associated with the producing com
pany. She will be in genuine intent
a motion picture actress.
OF course, the great disadvantage
in this plan is the fact that motion

Talks With Screen-Struck Girls

quently only a very few of the many
girls who wish to become screen stars
can find these office positions. For
those who have the opportunity, how
ever, it is we'll worth the trying.
An advantage of the scheme, and a
very big one, is that the studio stem
ographer, whether acting on the
stage or not, is constantly in the pic
ture atmosphere, and if she has an
inherent adaptability for the profess
sion it will develop almost uncon-
sciously. She may get no more op-
portunities than other extras" but
will somehow know better how to
make the most of hers.
Even though a girl secures her po-
sition as stenographer, and really
has the talent to eventually win a
regular place in the producing cast
there remains one great danger OF
the plans miscarrying. Nine chances
to one the girl will get impatient
She will want to become the actress
all in minute. The stenographers
work will become irksome and she
will, unconsciously perhaps, neglect
it. The result is obvious. Long be-
fore she has established herself as a
screen actress she will have lost her
position as a stenographer, and her
big opportunity will be gone.
How much better had she realized
that it takes time and patience to
achieve a place in motion pictures!
She should remember always that,
until she is the actress, her chief duty
is to be the stenographer and to give
it her best attention. That is the
only way to make the plan work out.

HUGHES.

A few left the Southern Pacific

of the present administration, expos
nre OF the weaknesses of every big
democrat, and promises of double pay
checks and universal happiness
should he be placed in the White
House. All but the scattered few
left with the feeling that they had
been listening to truly big man,
had been listening to calm, forceful
and convincing argument offered by
a man whose personality and record
speak level-headed ability to do
things. The day of feather-brained

We were taken to the famous
Lithia park, where the citizens of
Ashland had prepared individual
lunch boxes with more than enough
for ones large appetite. Everyone
sat down to table where hot coffee
was served. After the inner man was
satisfied and a few speeches made by
prominent delegates, a walk through
this beautiful park was made, view
ing the many sights of nature and
the handiwork of man, where the city
of Ashland has spent S175,000 in
beautifying this spot.
want to say right here, this park
is as beautiful at night as it is in
day. as hundreds of incandescent
lights are used to light the grounds
after dark. Even the trees have
these lights scattered all through the
branches to the top, giving one an
idea of Christmas in the summer.
The free camp grounds are GER
tainly great asset to the many trav-
elers going through the country.
In this park there are springs of sui
phur, lithia water, artesian well, lit
tie rivulets running in all directions,
waterfalls, and where nature did not
take part in making, the hand has,
until one can see almost anything he
wishes.

ATTRACTIVE TOWN LIFE.

Among the distinguished visitors
TO Ashland with the State Editorial
Association was Edgar e. Piper, ed
itor of the Portland Oregonian. The
following editorial from his pen ap-
peared in the Oregonian of Thursday,
August II:
"The enterprising town of Ashland,
in southern Oregon, has expended
something like 100000 in creating a
park-a rendezvous for young and
old, rich and poor, happy and unhap-
by, gay and sedate-for all alike. 1t
is a beautiful site for a park, upon
the banks of a sparkling stream,
with trees, vines, moss grass, water,
flowers, rocks-everything there to
invite the artist and the utilitarian to
Join hands in the arrangement and
use of natures offerings. They have
done these things and more; for there
are children's Fairgrounds, gymnastic
devices, comfort stations, bandstands,
swimming pool, dancing pavilions,
camping grounds and many other
conveniences and attractions for the
resident and the wayfarer. 1t has
all been most excellently planned and
most skillfully executed. Ashland is
proud of its park, and it should be.
What Ashland has done others may
de in the development of their own
individual municipal schemes for
parks or public utilities. 1t is not
long since the idea of pleasure
grounds for the people was novelty
in Oregon. But there has been a
great advance in town life in the past
twenty years. Now there are public
libraries, paved streets, social centers,
community activities of all sorts.
Some towns are more energetic than
others in promoting enterprises for
the common welfare; but all are do
ing something. The example of Ash
land may we'll be cited. To be sure,
there are not available for every COM
munity the famous Ashland lithia
springs nor the lovely Ashland
stream, but each has some resources
Of its own and II should be developed.
The opinion may be ventured that
Ashland would not part with its park
for ten times its cost.

Ashland has one of the most beau
tiful natural parks in the United
States. 1t covers an area of 500
acres, and the past year the city has
spent $4,000 in the erection On
suitable buildings, pavilions, band
stands, camping grounds, ETC., max
ing it beyond question the finest we
have ever seen. 1t would be impos-
sible to describe its wonderful con-
venience and beauty. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated, and the pretty
city of Ashland is to be congratulated
on its enterprise and splendid
achievement. With a population of
about 5000 the accomplishment of
such a work seems beyond a possibil-
ity, yet by the united efforts of its
citizens it has playground that will
be of untold benefit to generations Of
men yet unborn.

While in Ashland last week attend
ing a banquet given to the editors of
the state convention at the neighbor-
ing city of Medford, we had the pleas
ure of enjoying not only the hospital
ity of that beautiful little city of six
thousand, but the beauties of Ash
lands Lithia park. 1t is pretty
place nestled among the hills, beauti-
fully shaded, with springs natural
and artificial, grottos and fountains,
large bandstand surrounded by
knolls making a natural amphithea-
tre. At night the effect is enhanced
by the lighting scheme, numberless
electric lights glowing in the trees,
shedding over all soft, enchanting
light. A convenient automobile camp
also.
The park is at the edge of beau
tiful city of six thousand souls of
hospitality. Good homes, paved
streets, commodious public buildings,
and this city linked to Medford by
twenty-foot concrete ana asphalt
street thirteen miles in length, both
towns helping each other make prog
ress. While Medford was the conven-
tion city, the editors were banqueted
at Ashland also. Those towns are
doing their full share in upholding
the standard of Oregon civilization
and avantages.

resort in the country, but now we
know that Ashland has it beaten SO
far that they are not to be mentioned
in the same day. They call it "Lithia
park" because it has several natural
lithia water springs. A busy, noisy
little mountain stream flows through
its center. 1t is terraced and laid out
with beautiful drives. It has rustic
benches scattered all through it and
many Ashland people were enjoying
its beauties in the afternoon. 1t Is
covered with a profusion of flowers,
carefully selected and tended. 1t has
several tennis courts. 1t has play
ground for children, with its sand
boxes, its swings, gymnastic appara-
tus, slides, etc. II has a camping
ground for tourists-a free camping
ground. The camping ground is sup
piled with tents and gas stoves,
where for 20 cents the weary tourist
can cook his meals. And there are
tables there for him to eat on. Twice
a week there are band concerts. Up
town there is a big natatorium, forty
feet wide and 100 feet long, with
varying depth from one foot to nine
feet. Here kiddies and grownups
were enjoying themselves to the limit
The natatorium has dressing rooms,
shower baths, water slides and all
the accoutrements necessary to make
up to date. And the four Corvallis
ians in our car rid ourselves of the
dust of the road by plunging into its
cooling depths. Mrs. Kerr passed it
up, but as she watched the rest of us
splashing round in the limpid depths,
she had a rather envious look in her
eyes that made up imagine she was
sorry she wasn't in.
And in the beautiful park Ashland
people entertained the editorial
crowd that evening. They served
very novel lunch. 1t was put up in
neat cartons and everybody was
handed a carton as soon as he ar
rived. There were tables enough to
seat the entire crowd, and handsome
young ladies hustled around with hot
coffee and cream and sugar and
smiles and made every one feel either
at home or in heaven. And band
from Oakland, CAL, occupied the
bandstand, filling the air with excel
lent music. The park is beautifully
lighted and there must have been
5000 people gathered on its sloping
hills listening to the music. Many
cute little cottages are built on the
terraces overlooking the park. Some
are for rent, and we can not imagine
more delightful place to spend the
summer season.
And some day it will be as we'll
known as Manitou. 1t has as many
interesting side trips, as health-giv-
