southeastern Oregon, They will next

Will Grade Road
Around Bad Hill

G. F.. Billings states that arrange
ments have been made with the coun-
ty court to grade the new road
around the Billings hill and that ar
rangements have been made for the
county crew to commence the work.
The matter of the undergrade cross
ing is still held up by the railroads
inability or indisposition to come to
an agreement with Mr.. Billings re-
garding his crossing, but the road
will be built, eliminating the steep
and rocky grade of the present, and
a temporary cutoff from the new road
in the Wright creek bed to the old
road crossing will be made and used
until completion of the undergrade
crossing. The new road will have a
maximum grade of per cent and
will circle around well to the east of
the present road. The Southern Pa
cific will probably be requested to
place a watchman at the crossing un-
til the viaduct is built.

Gus standpoint, also disposing of GER
tain objections and erroneous opin-
ions prevalent. The SIS, 1000, he said,
would be sufficient to construct the
building, which would be for the free
use of the city and under its control,
and that no further bond issue will
be asked for; that no member of the
Chautauqua association and none of
the people connected with it will re-
ceive any dividends or make any
money from it, as the association for
bids any financial profits to its mem
bers-all moneys derived must go
into improvements. He also ex-
pressed the opinion that to let the
proposed plan fail would be an ir-
reparable calamity, and by this sale
to the city the board is trying to pre-
vent the property passing into pri-
vate hands. To lose possession now
would materially affect the beauty
and completeness of our magnificent
park system. That the Chautauqua
here has been the means of attract
ing many of our residents, and that
larger, more suitable building can but
increase the attendance at the an
nual meetings.
If favorable action be taken on the
proposed plan, 1t is purposed to ex-
tend these meetings over a longer
period, say six or eight weeks, as in
many eastern cities, and in the estab-
lishment of classes in art, science. lit
erature, languages, music, church and
Sunday school work. sociology, and
other instruction, educational and en-
tertaining features-in fact, to make
this the great rallying point in such
matters for southern Oregon.

Trefren Discusses
S(ms 0bj( Ctlons

Mr.. Editor: 1t is not my habit to
rush into print over small matters or
large ones either, but the Chautauqua
park purchase and the building of
magnificent auditorium in the city
for the use of the city seems to me
to be an exceptional matter.
So far as can learn, those who
oppose the purchase do so on one
tenable ground, and another that Is
of such nature that it should be
considered untenable by any fair
minded person. The first is the cost
and consequent taxation, and at this
particular season, when everyone Is
wondering which way to turn for
money with which to pay the already
high taxes, II is no wonder that any
one who does not think along broad
er lines than financial self-interest
should hesitate over the few cents
upon a thousand dollars valuation
that this expenditure will add to their
taxes.
The man or woman, however, who
looks into the future and realizes the
great necessity to the city of such an
assembly building for the accommo-
dation of conventions and other large
gatherings in addition to its use for
Chautauqua purposes, must realize
that the comparatively small indi-
vidual expense is not to be consid-
cred, when the individual benefit only
is counted, and not to he even
thought of when general benefits are
in the balance.
The second argument is that the
people of the city get the benefit Of
the Chautauqua park just the same
as though the city owned II. Granted
that they do, is II right that very
few public-spirited people should
work year in and year out, that the
public should have playground
without expense to the public? or
course, for o short time the city has
appropriated 5000 each year towards
the upkeep of the park, but this will
be eliminated II the city makes the
purchase and will pay nearly one
half of the interest on the bonds.
There can be no doubt but what
II we have an auditorium that will
accommodate the crowds, Ashland
will become the favorite convention
city of the state, and putting 1t upon
utilitarian grounds alone, crowds OF
people means money for everybody,
for your neighbor cannot enjoy great
prosperity without yourself enjoying
some. believe that the success OF
this undertaking means dollars and
cents in the pockets of every resident
of Ashland instead Of money out, as
some argue GEORGE W. TREFREN
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-03-15

The following resolution was en-
dorsed and unanimously adopted by
the club:
"Inasmuch as the city of Ashland
should own and control Chautauqua
park in order to complete and protect
its park system; and inasmuch as the
proceeds from the proposed sale are
to be used for the purpose of erect
ing a large auditorium to be used
free of charge by the city, and real
izing the need of such public build
ing; and as this proposition has been
endorsed by mass meeting Of our
citizens called for the purpose of con
sidering its merits, by the city coun-
Gil and the Commercial Club of Ash
land; therefore
BE it resolved, that the Women's
Civic improvement Club of Ashland
endorse the proposed amendment to
be voted upon March 19, prox., to
purchase Chautauqua park and the
building of an auditorium by the
Chautauqua association"
Following the foregoing discus
sions, the club was given most in
teresting talk on Foot Ease" by DR..
Maud l. Hawley, whose wholesome
advice on the care and protection of
the feet and the simple curative meas
ures necessary to restore proper foot
conditions, largely due to improper
footgear. was along practical and in
structive lines.

Opinions Of Business Men
On Chautauqua Proposition

To lose the Chautauqua would be
to lose something that for over twen-
ty years has given us the most en-.
viable reputation al over the United
States, as an intellectual community
and one seeking to give valuable
Inheritance to its people.
We are today in better position
to get more advantage out of this
associated public activity than ever
before, for our environments are so
superior today as compared with the
past that with proper facilities to
care for large numbers of people this
will be the Convention City of Ore
gon."
There are numberless benefits to
be derived, if we will only pull to-
gether for this Chautauqua move
ment, which briefness will not permit
mention Of.
We need new convention hall,
and the city certainly ought to own
all the ground to make its park COM

opinion that the success of our as
sembly is greatly hampered by lack
Of seating capacity, comfort and con-
venience, consequently in providing a
building such a1 is contemplated we
are not only completing our park sys-
TEN and providing a city auditorium,
but we are materially increasing our
advertising facilities, without addi-
tional expense.
If we were assured that this op-
portunity would be available for
years to come, the increase of taxes
might appear as a sufficient reason
for opposing the bond issue, but we
now have a harmony of purpose be-
tween the Chautauqua association
and the city officials. This condition
has not existed heretofore and may
not continue, consequently 1t is my
opinion that we will make a grave
mistake II we do not take time by
the forelock and vote these bonds so
that the work can commence at once,

so long, viz, how are we to secure a
new Chautauqua building? The
Chautauqua association needs this
new building and needs 1t at once If
this years session is to be successful.
All will agree that the present build
ing has outlived its usefulness, is an
eye-sore and positively unsafe.
II we are to popularize Ashland as
a resort town and convention city
the municipality, in connection with
its park system, needs this auditor
ium as urgently as the Chautauqua
association itself.
Last but not least, the land to be
purchased of the Chautauqua asso-
citation is in reality a part of Ash
lands park system and the title
should vest in the city.

A well, conducted Chautauqua is a
first-class asset to any city. 1t makes
it possible for people to hear the best
in oratory, music and entertainment
for trifle. There is no better ad-
tisement. The old building is dis
grace. The city, as well as Chautau-
qua, need a new building; our me-
chanics and laboring men need the
work. I'd hate to hear that the asso-
citation had sold the six acres to
certain individual for more money,
who would fence the park and keep
the public out. shall vote yes.

CitY Aroused and
Roundup Assured

Following upon q dinner attended
by the business men of the city at the
Hotel Austin Tuesday, at which the
roundup situation was put directly
before them, the city caught the spirit
which last year made the Ashland
celebration such rousing success,
and in few hours work yesterday
$5 900 was subscribed for the round
up. Every share Of stock has been
sold and a roundup which will eclipse
the last years event is sure to take
place. The entire city caught the
Let i'm buck" infection yesterday,
and from now cn until the celebration
is actually here everything else will
take second place.
Evenly Divided.
With the exception of few blocks
of four shares, the stock is all divid-
ed, one share to man, thus assuring
the backing of a large number. Many
/ who are financially unable to assume
the burden of shares are behind the
project with heart and soul, however,
and from the sentiment which per-
vades the city yesterday and today
the entire population seems to have
awakened to a new energy which will
make the Let. I'm Buck" feature Of
the big July celebration glorious
success,
Everywhere in the business section
yesterday the sole topic Of converse
tion was. I'VE must keep the round
up," and when word was passed
around that every share had been
sold even the staidest business men
allowed themselves hearty "Rowdy
dow" With a continuation of the
whole-souled, public-spirited interest
of today the roundup and celebration
cannot help but be far greater sue
cess than even the most optimistic
dared to hope few days ago.
Celebration Committee Busy.
The general celebration committee
is also busy and is meeting with fair
results in their work. The citizens
are beginning to realize the great
benefit of such a celebration crowd
as last years and are displaying a
willingness to do each one his share

1t seems obvious that the Chautau-
qua association cannot hope to build
an adequate building for several
years, at least, and equally obvious
that that end cannot be attained
through private subscription, conse-
quently 1t would seem desirable that
the bond issue should carry, even
though the city we're not securing
property necessary to complete its
park system, the value Of which is
conceded TO be in excess of the
amount required, in addition to a
