Ashland, "The Carlsbad of Amer
lea" is treated as one of the great
est of Oregon's tourist attractions in
the section devoted to the scenic
wonders and tourist attractions of
the state
Ashland and Ashland's develop
ment along resort lines are recog-
nized throughout the west. The big
dailies of Oregon are featuring Ash
land whenever Oregon's tourist posi-
bilities are the subject. While Ash
lands scenic wonders, climate and
environment alone are sufficient to
attract great deal of notice, it is
the combination of these with the
lithia and other mineral waters and
the unique and expensive project of
mobilizing them which make Ashland
one of the big attractions of the state
and which have won for Ashland its
constantly increasing fame as the
Carlsbad of America. -

The Hornbrook Leader says:
While 16 has been late several hours
most every day for week, some 9th
er passenger trains are on schedule
time. The reason is that when the
tide is flowing one way the big ferry
boat can't land in Port Costa slip,
and trains at that time come on via
Tracy and Stockton. Other trains
like 81 reach Port Costa when the
tide is different and are promptly fer
ried across the strait.

The jail is completed apparently
in all points, except that it now ap-

for health and cleanliness, and the
floor within the Jail should receive

President Wilson's Speech Ac-
ceptIuq Reconciliation.

President Wilson delivered his speech
of acceptance of the second nomination
for the Presidency by the Democratic party,
at Shadow Lawn, N. j., on Saturday even
ing last. Ii is devoted to a review of the
domestic legislation Of the present Admin
istration; a consideration of the foreign
policy of the Government, with special ref
erence TO the Mexican situation, and a
discussion of some of the problems which
will confront the nation in the immediate
future and the spirit and purpose with
which the Democratic party will face those
problems. We urge everyone to read the
speech. which is printed in full below:
Senator James. Gentlemen of the Notfi-
cation Committee, Fellow Citizens lean
not accept the leadership and responsibility
which the Democratic National Convention
has again, in such generous fashion, asked
me to accept without first expressing my
profound gratitude to the party for the

service of the nation as a whole, praying
that may continue to have the counsel
and support Of all forward looking men at
every turn of the difficult business.
For | do not doubt that the people Of the
United States will wish the Democratic
party to continue in control of the Govern
ment. They are not in the habit Of re-
jecting those who have actually served
them for those who are making doubtful
and conjectural promises Of service, Least
Of all are they likely to substitute those
who promised to render them particular
services and proved false to that promise
for those who have actually rendered those
very services.

The Eight-Hour Law Passed.

The House of Representatives late ,on
Friday afternoon Of last week passed the
Adamson Eight-hour BILL which was de-
signed to prevent the railroad strike which
had threatened to tie up the whole country.
The final vote was 239 to Sc. with five
members voting present.
Only two Democrats-Steel. of Pennsyl-
vania, and Black, Of Texas-voted against
the BILL Sixty-eight Republicans and the
one Socialist voted for it, The bill then
went to the Senate.
The bill was adopted in the Senate on
Saturday after several amendments were
voted down. The vote passing the bill was
as TO 20.
President Wilson, following his arrival
at Washington from the Democratic noti-
6cation exercises at Shadow Lawn, signed
the bill on Sunday. That there may be no
question as to legality Of the measure as
a result of it having been signed on SUM-
day, the President did affix his signature
again upon his return to Washington,
Tuesday, from Kentucky.
Seated in the drawing room of his pri-
vate car. and using four pens, he attached
his signature to the measure which Con-
gress at his earnest solicitation, rushed
through as a successful means Of averting
the greatest railroad strike that has ever
threatened the welfare Of the country.
Already the brotherhood leaders have
sent out orders resembling the call for the
strike, which was to have started Monday
morning at O'Clock. Already. also. have
the railroad companies throughout the coun-
try lifted the freight embargoes which they
had laid down in anticipation Of tie-up
of their systems. From all parts Of the
country kilograms Of congratulation have
come to the President from business con-
Germs whose affairs were eravely menaced
by the threatened strike, and from farmers.
who faced the prospects of seeing their
crops rot in their fields for want of railroad
transportation to move them.
With the strike averted. Congress will
now be in position TO wind up its regular
business and adjourn without taking action
on the remaining legislation proposed by
the President in connection with the rail-
road controversy. As most of these re-
naming proposals have to do with the
means of preventing a recurrence of such
situation as developed through last week s
deadlock, the President is said to be salts
fled to have their consideration postponed
until after Congress reconvenes in Decem.

tivation, and, through the intelligent ex-
tension Of the functions Of the Department
Of Agriculture, have made it possible for
the farmer to learn systematically where
his best markets are and how to get at
them.
The workingmen of America have been
given a veritable emancipation, by the
legal recognition Of a mans labor as part
of his life, and not mere marketable
commodity; by exempting labor Organiza-
tions from processes of the courts which
treated their members like fractional parts
of mobs and not like accessible and re-
sponsible individuals by releasing our
seamen from involuntary servitude by
making adequate provision for compensa-
ton for industrial accidents by providing
suitable machinery for mediation and con-
ciliation in industrial disputes, and by
putting the Federal Department Of Labor
at the disposal Of the woIkingman when
in search Of work.
We have effected the emancipation of
the children of the country by releasing
them from hurtful labor We have insti-
tuted a system of national aid in building
of highrOads such as the country has been
feeling after for century. We have sought
to equalize taxation by means OF an equi-
table income tax. We have taken the
steps that ought to have been taken at
the outset to open up the resources of

defense upon a scale never before seriously
proposed upon the responsibility Of an en-
