TO RUSH NEW THEATER TO
 COMPLETION

Captain A. E. Lathrop has returned from a trip to Anchorage and will re- main over one boat before leaving for Seattle, to complete arrangements for proceeding with the work of finishing his new concrete theater and apart ment building in Cordova, which will be one of the largest and finest struc- lures of the kind in Alaska.
 Immediately upon his arrival in the States Captain Lathrop will get to- gether a force of all kinds of me chanics in order that he may rush to completion his latest construction enterprise, which entails an expendi- ture of $1OO,oOO, and will not only be credit to Cordova but monument to it's builder.
 Plumbers, steamfitters, plasterers, carpenters and decorators will form the crew that will shortly transform the present walls of concrete into one of the most attractive theaters and up-to-date apartment houses to be ofund outside of the larger cities. The citizens of Cordova take considerable pride in the building and are awaiting it's completion with much interest.
 The probabilities are that the new Empress theatre will be thrown open to the public about May 15.

that they are succeeding is shown

California should have more places

Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys
do have accommodation for automo-

enough.

Library Facilities
TO Be Discussed

An informal luncheon will bt
given by the Medford library board
Thursday August IA, for the purpose
of discussing plans for extending the
book and magazine service to the
outlying districts of the county, In
accordance with a law passed by the
last legislature. The news law makes
1t now possible for the county court
to provide for a library service that
will reach every resident Of the
county, no matter how remote the
district In which he lives. While
the Medford and Ashland libraries
have granted library privileges to all
residents in the county who have
made application for cards, few have
ayailed themselves OF this opportun-
lty, and It has been necessary for
most of the people in the smaller
towns and in the country to depend
for their books upon the travelling
library service provided by the Ore
gon state library at Salem.

piled In a measure to the Ashland

ciate II and accept 1t as matter OF
course, and while they would not
like to do without it, there are many
who let weeks at stretch pass by
without visiting 1t. II takes the
stranger coming in to fully realize
the beauty of this really wonderful
scenic attraction.
Ashland is fast becoming noted
for its park, which is the finest for
its kind on the coast and perhaps in
the whole United States. This is
not such an exaggerated statement
as 1t perhaps sounds at first. for
where can one find so many attrac-
tions gathered together in one boun-
dary as may be seen here? Man
has combined with nature in Great
ing the most attractive. convenient
and delightful spot in which to rest
and retrieve wornout nerves and
weary tissues, and fit them for the
battles of life confronting one each
day.
