The wife of rancher, who is prob
ably better known than any other
rancher in the Ashland district, has
written to the Record as follows re-
garding the rest room" agitation.
Her letter is constructive and sug-
gestive, rather than merely critical,
and should furnish food for thought
to Ashland citizens:
81 have been much interested in a
rest room ever since | have lived on
a farm and have felt the need of one
many times, and I'd like to make a
few suggestions:
First; The country women do
need one, and if managed in the right
way they would shop in Ashland more
instead of sending away for things.
Second: It should be a place
where It would be easy to drop in
and handy for the man of the family
to pick them up when he is ready to
start home.
Gas to expense, I've no doubt that
the business men or their wives could
find enough suitable furniture in
their attics or cellars to furnish it
There should be some way of heating
it and perhaps a gas plate to warm
the baby's milk or make cup of tea.
Few women with children would go
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-23

to hotel or a private rest room. 1t
should be some place where the chill
dren could play and not get into mis-
chief as children do. Why don't the
wives of business men take it up?
There are enough of them that they
could give one day month of their
time to the rest room. Open 1t and
stay there all day, and I've no doubt
that on Saturdays and summer days
young girls could assist and might
even take care of some woman's child
for an hour or so that she could go
out and shop. 1t seems to me the
town women could do lot more good
to the town, their husbands business,
the country women and to themselves
than they can do with forty Ivy Cot
tage Clubs, etc.
"These are only a few suggestions,
but it seems to me it's big chance
to get the country trade and do
mighty lot of good"

Against the Rest Room.

Editor Tidings: | hope you will
give space to this letter as Willingly
as you seem to have thrown open
your columns to some of the non
sensical agitation which of late has
adorned your pages. l refer to the
letters signed Mrs. Country Jake and
Mr.. Townsman. In the first place,
| am inclined to doubt the existence
of either of these people, though why
anyone should care to exhibit such
a fondness for nosing into public mat
ters as these letters show, | am at a
loss to explain.
However, If these letters are as
genuine as they purport to be, what
a pitifully small minority Of the peo-
pie of the city and country they rep
resent OF course there are always
those whose greatest pleasure is to
invent some foolish plan involving
the expenditure of the ctiy's funds,
and cheerfully clap the burden of the
affair onto the back of the taxpayer.
But it is idle to pretend that such
persons speak for any considerable
element or any very deep sentiment
For my part, do not believe that
the women in or around Ashland
need a rest room, with gas bills and
matrons wages for the city to meet.
There are rest rooms in some of the
best stores in Ashland now, and | am
sure that the storekeepers do not dis
criminate against the country women
as Mrs. Country Jake would have us
believe. As for Mr.. Townsman, it ap-
pears to me tthat that gentleman is
borrowing trouble when he lugs in
the tourist question. And If our
much-lauded springs ever do bring us
a tenth of the tourist trade that some
of the optimists about town are
dreaming of (and that seems very
doubtful in these war times), / trust
the ladies will not be above using
Lithia Park and their hotel apart
ments as rest rooms, when they are
not engaged in playing bridge or dis
playing their wardrobes.
The idea of spending 1850 of the
peoples money providing a place
where Mrs. Country Jake can change
her baby! Why don't she do that
before she comes to town, or use one
of the Lithia Park comfort stations,
or the Chautauqua Park comfort sta
tion. She might be able to wade into
that.
Yours for a bit of sanity now and
then, especially when the public
moneys are concerned.

Lithia Park Necessities.

Editor Tidings I should like to
publish, through the columns of your
paper, if space will permit, a series
of short articles explaining some of
the results that could be accomplished
in Lithia Park by an expenditure of
$4,000, and the practical necessity
of such an expenditure.
First let me say to the citizens of
Ashland taht we have here a natural
environment for park development
which is unsurpassed by anything on
the American continent. If the nee
essary funds for the prosecution Of
the work can be found, Ashland can
soon boast of unique natural re-
sources developed to the fullest ex-
tent for the pleasure and comfort of
the stranger within the gates, and
which will be sufficient in their de-
veloped charm to attract and hold
the tourist and the health-seeker
against the lure of other resorts.
The first consideration in the
building of a park is the plantation
of shrubbery and trees; later, of flow
ers and lawns. Lithia Park badly
needs more extensive work of this
sort. Only when such plantations
have been made and grown to a size
when they are serviceable factors in
the landscape scheme can people real
ize the ideas which Mr.. McLaren, the
father of Golden Gate Park, had in
mind when he planned Lithia Park.
The shrubs and trees necessary to
carry out such scheme would cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
There are many suggestions of real
value which may be made along this
line of landscape development. For
instance, I believe that one of the
finest waterfalls on the Pacific coast
could easily be constructed out of
boulders, from the upper scenic drive
to the creek, on the site of the old
electric line. This, to my mind,
would be the most beautiful object in
the park, and its cost would only ap-
proxmate $500.
If proper use of flowers, lawns,
vines etc., is to be made in Lithia
Park, it is imperative that a water
system be constructed on the east side
of the creek, from the Chautauqua
property to the camp-grounds, bound
ed by the lower drive. If this Is done,
the bare sloping banks can be trans
formed into veritable bowers of bloom
and vine throughout the summer and
fall This would be a sight which
the tourist would long remember, and
tell the other fellow about, since it
would be distinctive attraction, and
not one he would be likely to see at
every point along his route.
It would be a step in the right di-

That Ashland needs 4 public rest
room for ladies and tired mothers is
strongly evidenced by the article pub
lished in the Re ord of March Is and
copied herewith. Assuming that the
arti lie in question expresses the senti-
ments of almost every lady and tired
mother from the country and adjoin-
ing towns, as well as the majority OF
our home town people, is it not time
that our business people and town
people get busy and actually do some
thing in the development of such
room instead of quarreling over its
location and never driving a nail to-
wards the production of such an asset,
as such it would plainly be, if proper
ly conducted and equipped?
1t is to be deplored the action the
city council took in regards to this
matter at its last session. That any
business man or that any lady would
raise a voice or hand to strike down
a proposition OF this kind is beyond
the writer's comprehension, and 1t is
to be hoped that the council will re-
consider its action in this matter and
give the city OF Ashland much-need-
ed improvement.
The old city Jail room can be made
an ideal rest room, and with little
change in the plan can be put in
proper shape, complete, for not to eX-
ceed $275. With the assessed valua-
ton of the city at over $3,OOO,OOO'
the increased taxes would never be
felt by any one; and as to location, 1t
is without question the most desir-
able of any in the city, being at the
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-23

rection to maeadamize and oil, not
only the park boulevard, which needs
1t worst, but all the walks and drives,
and the camp-ground. This would
keep the park absolutely free from
dust and weeds, and would be real
economy, since it would result in
decided saving of labor. This paving,
Of macadam with a heavy road oil
binder would be the cheapest and the
most durable, costing about $4,000.
There is a large amount of con-
struction work which must be done
sooner or later, if the advantages of
the park are to be fully realized.
Along the east side of Granite street
retaining wall should be built, and
the street itself graded and paved.
The retaining wall could be built Of
boulders, the rougher in appearance
the better. This work would call for
an expenditure of $4,000.
The park needs a real audi
torium, one that can seat on its main
floor two thousand people, with pro-
vision made for concessions, a rest
room, and other conveniences. This
building would be well adapted to the
use of the public at all times, at the
discretion of the city officials. A
building of this type, designed to har-
monlze with its environment and so
form an integral unit in the land
scape effect, would cost $4,000.
There are facilities for the enter
tainment of the city's guests which
should not be neglected. Among
these would be classed a playhouse
for children and a boys handball
court. These could be installed at a
cost of 1000. If this seems extrava-
SduOc W INC pCOplC VI ]Noh'uhN' wv
them remember that upon such things
depends the satisfaction which the
tourist derives from his stay within
the city. Anything that can increase
the pleasure of his visit, and help him
to entertain himself and his family,
will be the best advertising that the
city can purchase.
Other necessities can only be men
toned in this article. The drainage
of the park and the care of storm
waters must be given more attention.
One thousand dollars would take care
of this. A small nursery is needed
where shrubs and plants can be
raised for future use.
This is only an outline of the work
that is needed in Lithia Park. Later
may be able to take up the discus
sionof such improvements in greater
detail.
Yours very truly,
P. H. GRAVES,
Superintendent Lithia Park

Older But STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of puddle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which isa
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
