Widen Walks
In Lower Parks

Under the supervision of the park
board, workmen have been busy Wild
ening the walks in the citf park to
eight feet and laying decomposed
granite, which when rolled makes
better walk than cement in all but
the wettest kind of weather. Much
work is being accomplished in the
way of cleaning up dead leaves and
rubbish in the city and Chautauqua
parks and cleaning up generally, The
lawnmowers were also put to work
last week.
While on the subject of cleaning
up let us remind every Ashander
that it is his duty to refrain from
throwing paper bags, scraps or any
kind of rubbish around promiscuous-
ly in any of the Ashland parks. There
are in many parts Of the parks, and
soon will be in all parts, receptacles
provided for such a purpose, and car
rying the rubbish a few feet is easy
to do and means much less work for
the park caretakers and better look
ing park.

hearsals have been going on for many
weeks now and the participants have

Russian Exile
Spoke at School

Lieut.. Swartzkopensky, formerly of
the Russian army, then of Siberia and
finally of the United States, spoke to
the Ashland high school this after
noon, giving delineation of condi-
tions in Russia. The lieutenant was
an officer in the Russian army and a
member of the Cars bodyguard. He
refused to fire upon helpless women
and children on the fatal Bloody
Sunday" in st. Petersburg and was
exiled to Siberia, where he spent a
year of the dungeon life and shackles
and finally escaped to come to Amer
lea and tell the American people of
the people of Russia. He said: Il
am for the people of Russia and
against the government"
This is Mr.. Swartzkopensky's first
address in Oregon. He arrived in the
state last night. He has spoken at
various schools and universities and
before clubs throughout California
and made a decidedly good impression
everywhere.
The message that he brought to the
high school students will stay with
them for a long time. Every word
was listened to with breathless inter-
est and all gained a new insight into
Russian conditions and new appre-
citation of the benefits of America.
The lieutenant will speak Friday
evening at the Baptist church at 8
o'clock Rev. Blackstone will pre-
side. The lecture will be free to the
public.

Drive Residents
To Beautify Street

Residents of Scenic Drive set a
precedent which might we'll be fol-
lowed by the residents of other
streets by gathering at the home of

Identification of that already slightly
street and decide upon uniform
methods of securing the desired re-
suits. AS a result of the meeting the
property owners along Scenic Drive
will plant shade trees of the same
species and parkings and other fea-
lures will be made symmetrical,
Throughout Ashland the street

both in the park and at the Southern
Pacific station will be finished and
in operation. Pending development
work being done at the soda well, the
sulphur water will flow at the foun-

The spring effect in the center of
the glass-encased fountains is great
success and duplicates the appearance
of the lithia spring proper The wa

realistic manner and 1t is hard to
realize that it is not reaI spring.
Inside of a couple of years everybody
will have forgotten that such a thing
