Ashland Praised by
Addison Bennett

The following is an article which
appeared in Fridays Oregonian. II
was written by Addison Bennett, a
well-known newspaper correspondent
who IS travelling with the Southern
Pacific o. A. c. food preparedness
train:
81 was unable to get here from
Walla Walla until the food prepared
ness party was about ready to entrain
last night. That | missed sightsee
ing tour around the spa of the west is
much regretted, for if there is any
place in Oregon that a true Oregon
ian has reason to be proud of. then
that place IS Ashland. Not that the
city stands supreme in the produc-
tion of lumber, materials or agricul-
tural products, but owing to its two
great assets of mineral waters and as
fine climate as there IS at any spot
in the United States.
"No matter how often one comes
here, he will always find many new
improvements to be proud of and
amazed at, for the wonderful people
OF this beautiful city are ever busy in

ing their city-a city which claims
the highest wealth per capita of any
place in the northwest, have stated
in former dispatches from here that
Ashland has, living in retirement,
enough bank officials to manage all
OF the banks in Oregon, west of the
Cascades; which goes to show the
nature or rather the quality of her
citizens.
"The Southern Pacific people and
the Oregon Agricultural College Off
cials chose Ashland as the place to
start this campaign in preparedness,

is campaign brought about by the
war and is one Of the measures to
be taken by the railway and the col
lege to assist the nation. That it,
and other campaigns along the same
lines, will result in great increase
in food production and curtailment

true that the people are alive to the
situation and will listen to the teach
ings of the lecturers and demonstra-
tors.
"The first meeting Of the day was
held at the city hail. when at 1880
p. M. Miss Cowgirl gave a demonstra-

the latter meeting there we're large

Meeting Held in Tulsa, Okla,
Last Monday.
Hot Springs

ltOL springs
"Pike's Peak or BUST"
Years ago that was the emphatic
slogan of those who sought TO gain
that lofty summit in the historic
Rockies, Today in Hot Springs it is
the battle cry" as it were of those
who have become enthused over the
possibility of this noted health and
pleasure resort being made one Of the
terminals of a great highway that
will reach from the Arkansas Spa to
that celebrated point in Colorado. Not
in years has any movement in the line
of good roads or highways aroused
so much genuine interest as has been
created in the big meeting that
took place in Tulsa, Okla, and the
fact there is a chance for Hot Springs
to not only be made one of the termi-
mails of this highway. but also to be-
come assured of a good road from the
Oklahoma oil fields here, has aroused
the keenest of interest.
The project was first called to the
attention Of the board Of governors of
the Business Mems League in a let
ter received by President Gus Strauss
from l. R. Packard, vice president Of
the Harper Coal & Coke Company,
Bates, Ark, who outlined the work
that was being done in the highway
line towards this city, and strongly
urged that Representatives from the
Business Mems League be sent to Tul.
sa to attend the meeting, when the
Albert Pike Highway Association was
formed Mr.. Packard was followed
by another from E. Bee Guthrie Of
the Tulsa Chamber Of Commerce, who
is on the highway committee of that
organization, who also called atten.
tion to the Importance of having rep
resentation at the meeting. He, too,
referred to the fact that it is the de-
sire of the promoters of the Albert
Pike Highway Association to make
Hot Springs one of the terminals of
that highway.

John H. Page. commissioner OF
mines. manufactures and agriculture.
has received a report from j. II. Hand,
special agent Of the department. in the
zine and lead district or north Arkan-
sas. showing that the total output Of
ore in this state for 1916 aggregated
98,64S.5OO pounds, an increase of 13S
per cent, or 2l,2lS,5OO pounds over
1915. The lead production was S21,-
600 pounds
Reports were obtained from 81
mines in l3 districts The Rush dis
trict in Marion county made the lar
gest shipments, the zinc district in
Boone and Marion counties being
second.
These new productive figures put
Arkansas to the front among the zinc
producing states. Arkansas not only
competes in quantity but leads in
quality. United States Geological
Survey reports show that Arkansas
mines produce the largest percentage
of metallic zinc from crude or mine
run ore.
The percentage Of metal content for
the crude ores of the several zinc pro-
ducing states is:
Arkansas 331, Illinois 2.35, Kansas
2.41, Missouri 232, Oklahoma 2.6S,
Wisconsin 2.77. The relative percen-
tages of zinc concentrates recovered
from milling crude or mine run ore in
the several districts are: Arkansas
776, Joplin, soft ground, 356; Joplin,
sheet ground, 1.61 Oklahoma, 3.2S.
The relative quality, on average as
say basis of ores produced in the dis
tricts named are: Arkansas jack,
$50; Arkansas Carbonate, 40.6; Jop-
lin jack, 579; Joplin carbonate, SO;
Oklahoma jack, 55.7.
The average price Of 40 per cent
carbonate was around s65 ten and
Of 60 per cent jack about $50. Be
cause of their superior quality nearly
all of the ores. especially the carbon
ates, graded higher than standard and
commanded prices above top quota.

Two Organizations, One Aim.

There are two organizations of suf-
fragists represented In Washington,
ably represented, and in considerable
part, let one who wants TO be gallant
say, beautifully represented. There Is
the National American Woman Suf-
frage association, and then there Is the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf-
frage. Both bodies Of women are striv-
ing for the same end, but each Is TAX
ing a different route to reach It.
1t has been said by some persons
that the union represents militant suf.
frage methods, like those which were
in use in England, and that the Ma.
tlonal association represents the other
method Of getting the vote the women
want. 1t Is only right to say that the
militancy Of the Congressional union
is not a militancy by force Of arms cor
Of bricks" Some people call the sta
,tioning Of silent sentlnels in front Of
the White House milltancy. Others do
not so call It. 1t was representatives
Of the Congressional union who un-
furled the suffrage banner in the house
of representatives when the president
was making his address to the mem.
bers. This has been called mllitancy
although il certainly Is not stone-throw-
ing militancy.
