Tried TO Secure
Prominent Speakers

Vice-President Mccormick of the
Southern Pacific is returning from a
four weeks trip through the east
with Secretary Lane. Secretary Lane
came west as far as Portland and Mr..
Mccormick has succeeded In getting
him to agree to stop at Ashland for
a speech on the Liberty bonds, but
he was called by wire to return to
New York from Portland and Mr.. Nd
Cormick was disappointed in getting
him for an Ashland speech at the
auditorium. Secretary McAdoo's
time was limited so that he could
make stops only at the large centers
of population. So Ashland as we'll as
Mr.. Mccormick Is disappointed at
not being privileged to entertain
these great men, but Is sincerely
thankful to Mr.. Mccormick for the
effort.
In this instance the value OF the
auditorium to Ashland is illustrated.
That is the only structure in southern
Oregon large enough to hold the
crowds that would be drawn by men
of national reputation, and It was
because of that facility that Ashland
was considered at all.

Irrigation Projects
Starting in Klamath

With new irrigation projects start
ing all over the country this fall, the
farmers in upper Langell valley have
determined not to let another season
go by without water on their lands.
A total of 1920 acres is embodied in
the Willow Creek project under
which ten farmers of that section pro-
pose to get water at low figure.
This project is not entirely new,
81 a former dam constructed at the
Mouth of Willow creek, few miles
from Langell valley, by R. F. Tuttle
was washed out last year, just when
the farmers under the ditch had be-
gun to reap the benefits of irriga-
ton
It is understood that the dam will
be constructed on somewhat small
er basis this time, covering only the
lands in the upper end Of the valley,
and that the lands around Lorella
will be supplied eventually from some
other source.
Work is now we'll along on the
dam, and it is planned to get the
water on the lands next year.
The county court has named De-
cember 1 as the day for the hearing
of a petition for creating an irriga-
tion district. klamath Falls Herald.

Clothing Found
By School Boys

Further developments In the case
of the man found on the streets Of
Ashland last Sunday evening have
brought to light the belief that the
man was suffering from something
other than dementia and may be a
a., victim of foul play. An examination
fof the mans condition by DR.. e. H.
Porter at Jacksonville resulted in his
being taken to the Medford hospital
for an X-ray examination of his head.
Monday evening Royal Rohrke and
a companion while on their way from
school were looking for crawfish in
Ashland creek at the west entrance
of the park and discovered pair of
mems shoes and leather belt. The
lads reported their find and further
investigation found pair of trou-
sers. a cap and a garter. The shoes
trere tan and size No. 6, and the name
q. Keyes was printed inside the shoes
and coat. Chief Hatcher to whom
the clothing was turned over, found
in one of the pockets Of the coat about
a tablespoonful of giant powder and
25 cents. It is almost conclusive evil
dence that this clothing belonged to
the man found wandering on the
streets Sunday night.
The theory has been advanced that
the unfortunate man may have been
a member of draft contingent pass
ing through here on Sunday.
A few days later the man re-
gained consciousness sufficiently to
reveal his identity as Edward s.
Keyes of Newport Beach, Cal. Ac-
cording to his story, as nearly as he
can recollect, Keyes went to Vernon
about two weeks ago, where he met
three men whom he knew. An al
tercation arose and a man said to
be Edward Martin hit Keyes over
the head. From the result OF the
concussion Keyes lost all recollection
Of events that transpired between
That time and his awakening in the
hospital at Medford. His stop in
Ashland where his clothing was left
Is a blank page to him. ,
It is thought Keyes will make a
rapid recovery, as his skull is not
fractured as at first apprehended.

Fruit Dryers
Valuable Asset

Probably fifty tons of fruit that
would otherwise go to waste will be-
saved through the drier operated by
F.. N. Snyder in the Belleview district.
He handles about one ton day or
dried fruit. His plant has three
ton capacity and 1t takes about three
days to put the fruit through the dry
ing process,
Not only that, Mr.. Snyder turns out
a high-class product. The writer saw
dried peaches, plums, prunes, squash
and apples He dries for the trade
as well as himself. This year, of all
years, 1t is incumbent on every citizen
to preserve every possible thing in
the way of foodstuffs, and such plants
as that of Mr. Snyder not only help
the nation in it's food conservation
campaign, but are an invaluable asset
to the community because they supply
a method whereby perishable food
products can be saved and turned into
money that otherwise would be a to-
tai loss.
The Rogue River valley needs moro
such plants and the citizens of the
valley should encourage them by con-
tracing their fruit to the driers and
canneries instead of taking chances
of a high fresh fruit market.
Mr.. Snyder is now operating his
plant night and day and is getting all
the fruit he can handle as fast as his
plant will process It.

Sugar Beet Harvest
To Begin This Week

The beet harvest in the Rogue Riv-
or valley starts today. Last spring
a number of farmers put large acre
ages into sugar beets which are ready
now for cleaning. Owing to the
worlds shortage of sugar and the
enormous demand made by the allies
In Europe, the government is anxious
that beet growers conserve every
beet possible and manufacture sugar
therefrom. The manufacturers are
issuing notices to this effect that
there be no waste of beets at the vari-
GUS ranches.
Sugar growers are urged to begin
Immediately to prepare for an in
creased beet crop next year. Fall
blowing will mean on the average
from two to four tons of beets more
per acre than spring plowing, or from
s14 to $50 more per acre. ~

Weep. Nice Cormick
Visits Ashland

Friday Vice-President Mccormick
and John M. Scott, general passenger
agent Of the Southern Pacific,
stopped in Ashland and went over the
mineral water situation. They had
heard that the Pompadour Develop
ment had affected the flow of the
lithia spring and wanted to assure
themselves Of the situation. When
told that large quantities Of water
could be found in close proximity to
the present spring they said that COM
prehenslve development should be
made at once, as every day the work
was delayed meant a damage Of
at least $1,000 to the city. The
city having already spent $175,000
on the project and having gained a
coaJ-wide reputation for our mineral
wat q and park, Ashland could not
affof Sunder any circumstances, or
at any iSsonable cost, to not develop
water 80 3 than sufficient quanti-
ties for ~ 'rposes.
OF course, II takes mineral water
to operate a sanitarium. No one
could be expected to invest their
money in such an enterprise unless
assured of plenty of water for the
purpose. II was up TO the city to
demonstrate that ample water was
available for the purpose. Although
the sanitarium project had been de-
layed by the uncertainty Of war and
the high cost of labor and material
that capitalists were interested In
the project, and II was highly impor-
tant that when they came to investi-
gate they should find water In ample
quantities and with q certainty of
continuous supply or they would not
take hold of II.
Therefore, II Ashland hopes to
make mineral resort, with large
facilities for mineral baths and the
like, 1t is up to her TO develop suffi-
Client water for the purpose and to
do n at once, else an the splendid
advertising Ashland has secured in
the past two years will be as naught.
An ample sum Of money should be
made available at once for the de-
velopment. It is highly important
that no stranger should visit the
springs unless the water is being sue
eessfully delivered. That means that
the water should be running all the
time
