Special Train Will
Bring POrtlanders

A special trainload of prominent
Portlanders seems assured for the
big Dedication celebration. The fol-
lowing article from the Portland Tele-
gram indicates some live boosting on
the part of Mr.. Multi, former Ash
lander, John NJ. Scott, of the S. P,
and one of the best friends of the
Ashland project, and other Portland
ers:
Participation of Portland people in
the Fourth of July celebration by
which Ashland will open Lithia park
and it's big resort project is regarded
as a means of cementing the relations
between the northern and southern
sections Of Oregon. Letters are going
out today inviting the members of
the Chamber of Commerce to join
the excursion which will leave Port
land at 8:15 on the evening of July
8. All other Southern Oregon towns
have dropped their plans for the 4th
to cooperate with Ashland in max
ing known the virtues of her mineral
waters and the conveniences arrang-
ed for the visitor.
Lloyd L. Multi, John NJ. Scott, F..
E. Smith, C. w. Robinson and John
E. Cronan constitute the committee
handling the special train.

DOdge'S Answer
To II. G. EnderS

In reply to Mr.. Enders' reference
to goods sold by us to the city Of
Ashland, we beg to make the follow
ing report of all goods sold by US to
city of Ashland and dates of sale:
July, 1916
2 pairs No. lily flying rings.
/ 716y flexible ladder with ground
anchors. The above for 14-foot
frame.
s 4S5y single swings with fittings to
attach to frame IL feet.
1 set 491y aboard seesaw outfit and
frame fittings.
1 5O3y, 6-ladder giant stride, includ-
ing pipe upright.
2 51Oy children's slide.
April, 1916
2 dozen folding chairs.
100 5foot benches.
Mr.. Enders may have overlooked
some of the items furnished by us,
or his price list might have been at
an earliet date when prices were
much lower At any rate, we bought
at the very lowest possible price and
these goods cost us, after all cash dis
counts were deducted exactly S459.-
so. The city of Ashland paid US Tor
these goods $5O4.69, leaving a profit
of $45.17. This being little less
than 10 per cent profit on cost of
goods F. O. B. factory.
I, j. P. Dodge, of the firm of ]. P.
Dodge & Sons, being duly sworn, do
say that the above statement is just
and true to the best of my knowledge
and belief. ]. P. DODGE.
State of Oregon, County of Jack
son, IS.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 22nd day of June, 1916.
ETHEL DAVENPORT,
Notary Public for Oregon.
My commission expires December
80, 1916.
We believe this is close a profit as
other merchants or mail order houses
would be willing to sell goods.
All Of our correspondence with the
factories and the invoices for same
are on file at our store and will be
shown to any one who cares to see
them. Respectfully submitted,
J. P. DODGE & SONS.

AS to Duryea's
Criticism

Some criticism of Mr.. Greer by M.
]. Duryea is given space in the last
issue of the Ashland Record. 1t may
suffice to say that Mr.. Duryea was
preemptorily discharged by the COM
mission on evidence of his utter dis
LOYALTY in that he was working with
those opposed to the commission, in
fomenting public sentiment, we
think, with the view of bringing
about the recall of Mr.. Greer, and
having himself elected in his place.
After he was preemptorily dismissed
he begged of the commission that he
be allowed to resign in order that a
discharge might not stand against
him when he sought employment else
where. His request was granted by
the commission for that reason alone.
Therefore it is not surprising that he
utters such structures against the
commission.

"while I sincerely believe and hop9
that I will not be elected, am allow

that this recall business, which is IL
turing the town, can ne disposed Of

Former Mayor
Endorses Greer

| do not understand how any one
in Ashland can vote in favor OF the
recall of Bert r. Greer, after he has
neglected his own affairs and spent
his time and energy to put this won
derful mineral springs water in the
grand Lithia Park, where the public
can help themselves.
Some say he wanted his own way
too much. That is the kind of man
it requires to do things. A man with
sufficient force of character does not
change his plans every time body
kicks. We got what we voted for.
What more do we want? Do we want
to insult the man who has given the
springs to US? No, we do not. The
insult would be a stigma to Ashland
and the springs project forever.
It is an easy matter to find fault
with a Job of this kind after it is
done, that it could have been done
differently, cheaper, etc. After the
details have been worked out and we
know exactly what he have to con-
tend with, it is an easy matter to crit
icise. l have lived in Ashlnad for
thirty years and have heard the pos
sibilities of the mineral springs spok-
en- of many times, but there was no
one energetic and public spirited
enough to undertake such a vast
project until Mr.. Greer came along
and undertook it for us. Don't make
him feel sorry that he was public spir-
tied enough to work for the benefit
of us all by voting him out now that
his task is complete. If we did we
would be guilty of the objectionable
crime of ingratitude.
Now if everyone will take an in
terest as they should, l am not at all
afraid of results.
CAPT. H. S. EVANS,
Ex-Mayor Of Ashland.

Protesting
The Recall

We, the undersigned, citizens and
residents of the city of Ashland, here
by declare our most earnest protest
against the stigma and deep disgrace
to be fastened upon our city by the
effort to recall Mr.. Bert r. Greer
from the Springs Water Commission.
We believe it to be an effort that
will prostitute public honor for the
purpose of gratifying personal spite
and revenge.
We condemn the use of the recall
for any such purpose. If the grounds
set forth in the petition were suffi-
cient at any time to justify recall,
that time has wholly passed.
Mr.. Greer initiated the project and
by his courage and persistency
brought it to the state of perfection
which has made Ashland known and
applauded all over the country. This
great consummation has become the
personal pride of ever ycitizen of this
city and valley. No one would will
lingly consent that it should be taken
away from US. A great celebration,
financed at great expense, is to be
held on July 4th, 5th and 9Th, eX-
pressly for the purpose Of dedicating
this great work with panoply and
pomp, and an election called to recall
the man who put it through, to he
held one week before the celebration
of the work, is to begin Can anyone
imagine more incongruous situa-
tion?
Even without considering Mr..
Greer at all, the citizens of Ashland
should see that the honor and good
name of this city is at stake, and
should rebuke its calumniators by an
overwhelming vote. There has never
been such an occasion for Ashland's
heaviest vote. 1t should be a per-
sonal matter with every voter.

The departure Of the Seventh Regiment on

with and desire TO call your attention to a
subject which is seriously occupying the
thoughts Of the men themselves and their
families. There appears to be need for emer-
gency legislation which shall guard intact their
voting privileges for the rushing through Of
an adequate bill which shall provide for vot
ing by mail, or by attested proxies, by alb
sentees Such provision has been made in
Dakota for the benefit Of those whose voca-
tions cause them to travel actors, salesmen,

whatsoever.
Similar protection Of their suffrage rights
should be extended at once to the young mil
itiamen. who, enrolled only TO serve their
states, have been looking forward this year
TO the casting OF their first Presidential bal
lot. but who now, at the call of the Federal
Government, are in danger OF losing their
privilege because absent from their states
in the service of the nation. Their civil rights
should be promptly protected, and legislation
now can give this protection. Will not you
aid in the work of getting it by call from
your able pen? ADA STERLING.
