Smith h-Emery Are
Finishing Up Job

Smith, Emery & Co. are closing up
their work in Ashland and are
Strengthening up accounts and dispos-
ing of tools and equipment. Beyond
few minor details the contract is
fulfilled and everything is working
in first-class shape. The waters are
being delivered at the central station,
which is the Mecca for hundreds
despite the wet weather. Work on
the fountains is going forward as fast
as conditions permit.
Mr.. Smith of the company is in
Ashland attending to the finishing up
of the company's business and ex-
presses himself as highly pleased
with the results obtained. He states
that the lithia water flow is much
larger than was expected and will be
more than an abundance.
Circuit breakers which will pre-
vent a recurrence of the burning out
of the motors at the springs have
been installed and all are working
we'll. At the central station the ap-
paratus for the carbonization of the
Ashland creek water is being in
stalled.

Business Men
Enjoy Luncheon

The Business Mems Association
members to the number of about
thirty gathered around a bounteous
spread at the Hotel Ashland cafe last
Monday evening, and after enjoying
the many good things prepared by
Mrs. Updegraff launched into discus
sion of several matters which are be-
fore the club at present. The dinner
was complimentary to its members
from the association and proved to
be a most popular innovation.
After considerable discussion it
was decided to finally decide at the
regular adjourned meeting of the as
sociation next Monday evening
whether or not the association should
become a part of the Commercial
Club and merge into it,
Following lengthy discussion it was
decided to give the high school stu
dents 800 for the annual this year
instead of advertising as in previous
years. This will be welcomed by the
students as this amount together with
income from other sources will enable
them to put out a most creditable an

Ashland and the Rogue River val
ley may become the home of one or
more of the big moving picture pro-
duction companies now located in
California, but which for various
reasons are now casting about for
new locations. The Rogue River val
ley offers wonderful and ideal condi-
tions for motion picture production.
During the past year, according to
figures, there were 203 clear days in
Ashland and many others upon
which Photographic work could be
carried on outdoors. Then from
Ashland there is available the most
varied types of scenery, all within a
couple of hours by auto at most and
to a great extent within few min
utes' walk. The foothills Of Grizzly
offer one type, the heavily timbered
mountains back of Ashland another.
Ashland canyon, the Siskiyou grade,
Rogue river and its wonderful seem
cry afford thousands of setting OF
every variety which could be de-
sired.
Beyond the thousands Of dollars
which a single company would spend
annually, the greatest consideration
which should be incentive to leave no
stone unturned in making efforts to
bring motion picture companies to
Ashland is the advertising which the
section would receive. The motion
picture is the biggest recreation OF
the American people today. The es-
tablishment of company here would
mean that every person In the United
States who goes to movies would
know of Ashland and know that Ash
land must indeed have wonderful at
fractions.
The making of films brings mil
lions Of dollars each year to Los An
geles. For several reasons some Of
the largest producers in the world
are. now planning to leave that ter
ritory If a suitable location can be
found elsewhere. Other California
cities are offering inducements Of
every kind. The Californians real

InventS Improved
Cattle StanChiOn

The writer yesterday had the OPP
portunity of inspecting the model OF
an invention completed by John B.
Winner of this city, who has lately
filed application for patent through
Washington attorneys. Mr.. Winner
conceived a plan to eliminate the
time and labor encountered by dairy
men in closing and opening cattle
stanchions by inyenting new
stanchion and stall which, when
placed on the market, bids fair to
take the place of the ones now in
use, which require an individual op-
Grafton at each one to close and open
them.
The invention is pronounced by
those who have seen 1t to be the most
modern, serviceable, sanitary cattle
stanchion yet invented, inasmuch as
it is adjustable to the size of the
animal, will turn to accommodate the
animal in comfortable position
while lying down, is made of steel
tubing and can be set up for use in a
few minutes and is simple in its
working. It's greatest advantage is
that any number OF stanchions can
be closed or opened at moments
notice, or any one can be operated
separately, any certain ones can be
thrown out of gear and made nom
operative at the option of the user,
they can be added to or taken away
from at any time, and the time and
labor involved in closing or opening
each one separately is eliminated, as
with this new stanchion any number
can be operated at once in less time
than is required to operate one un-
der the present stanchions in use.
Mr.. Winner is already receiving in
quiries from some Of the largest
dairy barn equipment factories or the
east regarding his invention, and he
expects eventually to arrange with
some factory to manufacture and
place it on the market, and has stated
that he expects to exhibit the model
publicly soon to show the people, es-
pecially those interested in dairies or
who use stanchions, what can be done
in the line of time and labor saving,
as well as sanitary, comfortable cat
tie stanchion.

County Bonds

The financial interests of the
Woodmen of the World in this city

prise many who heard the statement
of District Manager d. j. Beaky in
a speech last Friday at the big ses-

NUMBER CT
Ashland Lads
Need Gymnasium

The problem of taking care of the
boys Of Ashland during the winter
months should be met by the parents
and townspeople. At present the
boys are thrown totally upon their
own resources with the usual amount
of needless mischievOusness occurring
as result. Two or three boys or
ganizations, namely the boy scout
patrols of the Christian and Baptist
churches and the patrol under the
dictatorship of George Holly, have
enrolled numbers of the youngsters,
but are handicapped in that no suit
able quarters for gymnasium or even
meeting places are available.
1t would be the most publc-spirit-
ed act which could be accomplished
should suitable place be provided
for the youngsters to engage in bas-
ketball and other indoor sports dur
ing winter months.
There are several men in Ashland
who would be willing to donate part
of their time to supervision Of the
lads and equipment costs but little
and would doubtless be donated by
the parents.
There are but few cities in the
country the size of Ashland which
have no Y. NJ. C. A. or boys club
of any kind to interest the boys and
develop them mentally and physi-
cally in the winter months.
During the summer the great out
doors will care for the boys, but can
we not find some place for organized
winter sports for the lads up to 16
years of age?
1t is barely possible that the arm
ory might be secured during the af-
ternoons and several other buildings
with sufficient floor space to allow
of games are unoccupied. The old
skating rink in one of the natator-
ium's unused tanks would be good
and the old armory in the Mccarthy
building or the store room downstairs
could be used if nothing better Of
fered.
That the boys of the city would
meet the idea with ready response
is shown by the number who join
the Chautausna boys club in the
summer and who are anxious for adj
mission to the boy scout organiza-
tions.
1t has been suggested that the
Ministerial association or the Com
mercial clubs investigate the matter.
1t is a worthy cause.

Sugar Factory
Near Grants Pass

Geo. E. Sanders, vice-president Of
the Oregon-Utah Sugar company,
who, with Alex Nibley, has been in
Portland for several days, is quoted
in the Oregonian of recent date as
follows:
Rates on sugar beets from the
farms of the growers to the mill will
determine the location of the beet
sugar factory to be established near
Grants Pass, declared George e.
Sanders and Alex Nibley, officials Of
the company, who were in Portland
yesterday. They left last night for
Salt Lake City, where capital has
been raised for the plant. 1t is ex-
pected to start operations next Sep
tember.
1--WE are now trying to get the
freight rates settled definitely said
Mr.. Sanders. We have the matter
up Will Juo OUuluelu dCillC, duu q
conference on the subject will be
held in San Francisco next week.
1--WE have in mind placing the
factory on the new Twohy railroad
outside of Grants Pass about three
miles. But this is dependent upon
the freight rates.
"'The contract for the factory will
be let next week in Salt Lake City.
1t will cost about $625,000. Dyer &
Company and Larue & Company,
leading builders of sugar beet mills
in the country, will bid on the con-
struction, and the contract will call
for everything ready for operation by
next September.
"'Bonds have been sold to finance
the project. We expect to have 75,-
900 tons of sugar beets delivered to
us this coming season."

Poultry Raisers
Plan Annual Show

There has been talk OF the organi-
zation of a poultry association for
some time and as a result of the first
call poultry enthusiasts from all
parts of the valley met at the public
market at Medford Saturday after
noon and effected a permanent or
ganization, with E, W. Hunter, Med
ford, as president and Roy B. Peb-
bles Of Medford as secretary.
A poultry show was discussed and
committee was appointed to deter
mine whether or not 1t is feasible to
hold a valley poultry show this year,
at date to be fixed later, prefer
ably for the month of February. That
committee consists OF E. T. Gardner,
W. w, Watson, J. A. Bickerdike, Geo.
Afford and E. j. Runyard. This COM
mittee was given power to appoint
assistant members in various COM
throughout the county.
1t will report next Saturday at the
first regular meeting of the organiza-
tbion, which will be held at the Med
ford public market at o'clock in the
afternoon. Everyone in the valley
should be present and IL you can't
come write word of encouragement
to tie secretary,
A poultry organization and espe-
,ially an annual show means better
poultry, more of it, better prices, and
more money for not only the poultry
nan, but for the merchant and the
people in general.

BY proclamation of the governor,
the week of January 1922 is to be
all Oregon Letter Writing Week.
During this week from every city in
the state thousands of letters will go
back to friends, relatives and busi-
ness acquaintances in the east telling
them of the wonders which Oregon
holds forth for the tourist and invit-
ing them to visit Oregon this sum-
mer. 4.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce is asking every business man
of Portland to write fifty letters this
week and every citizen Of Portland
to write ten letters. The letters sent
out from Portland will tell not alone
of Portland and the wonders near It,,
but Of the entire state.
Every woman and child in Ashland
should write not less than seven let
ters, one each day, to friends in the
east, inviting them to make their trip
this summer to Oregon, 1t will take
out q few minutes of time and the
results of Oregon Letter Writing

1 1.-THE scenic wonders of the Oregon
country cannot be surpassed any
where in the world. Tell your friends
of Crater Lake, Josephine Caves, the
wonderful Siskiyous, the Rogue River
falls and gorges, fishing, hunting and
camping. Tell them of the wonders
Of northern and eastern Oregon. Tell
them of Ashland, the Carlsbad of
A&erica, her scenery, her climate
al her springs. Ashland is the one
city in Oregon which will realize most
from the tourist traffic, as advertis-
ing already is making Ashland one of
the big places on the Oregon map.
Every tourist who visits Oregon may
be drawn to Ashland. Tourist dol
lars are new dollars. California gets
millions yearly from the tourist crop.
Let us do our share and more to
bring the tourists to Oregon. Then
let every resident of Ashland write a
letter a day to eastern friends and
aconaintances next week, invite them
t6isS$hd their vacation in Oregon and
at Ashland. The Commercial Club
requests that list of all those writ
ten be left with the secretary so that
literature may be sent to follow up
the letters. In writing use the glass
of water envelope. The glass of wa
ter is Ashlands trademark and is
becoming famous.
