The Eaton, Colorado, Herald is
sues an attractive booklet contain
ing the reprint of the letters writ
ten by Mrs. II. L. Hogue, the associ-
ate editor, describing her trip
through the northwest with the Ma
tional Editorial association. Mrs.
Hogue has the following to say of her
visit to Ashland during the trip on
her return from Crater Lake, the
feature that was Southern Oregons
contribution to entertaining the ma
tional editors:
"The return from the lake was
made over what is called The Dead
Indian trail, and If he had anything
to do with it he well deserved to
die, for it wound around and around,
trying to seek the path of least re-
sistance. This took us to Ashland
and was longer than had been the
road to Medford. On both days we
we're each given a lunch which was
eaten on the way.
"The return road led again through
heavily timbe ed country, but with
many beartfil lakes to relieve the
monotony. On this road there were
a number of very steep grades which
of the cars had trouble in negotiat-
ing.
I'VE arrived in Ashland in time tc
go into their sulphur POOL for swim

freshing after that long hard drive.
after that we went at once to
their park. where we we're again seat
ed at long tables and served boun-
tiful supper. You see how little
good it does to bring any good
clothes along to wear to these din
ners, as we are rushed for frantical-
ly from place to place with only a
few minutes sometimes to go into a
dressing room to wipe the dust OIL
and sometimes not even that.
ashland was really one of the
most wonderful cities we had en-
countered on our journey. Too pret-
ty for words. There are numerous
mineral springs here and two bath
houses. There is a population OF
about 5000. A lovely park is laid
out on a sloping hill and here they
have the prettiest public camping
grounds that | have ever seen any
place. It is quite a tourist city on
account of the mineral springs and
the camping ground is usually filled
A great many people also pass
through here on their way to Crater
Lake
"Here they have an immense au
ditorium which was built by the cit
izens and the Southern Oregon Chau
tauqua circuit, which will seat 42OC
people and when a pin is dropped OF
the platform in front il can be heard
in the rear Of the room"

LONDON. - CBy Mail)-Aerial
hospitals floating 5000 feet above
England is the apparently fantastic
dream of number OF experts who
are endeavoring to persuade the
ministry of health to take over from
the air ministry airships of the R34
type, which successfully accom-
plished the transatlantic flight un-
der General Maitland. and which
proved themselves superior to Ger
many's Zeppelins as regards length
of flight and time in the air
The announcement of the sale of
the R3S to the United States navy
department, and of possible similar
sales at an early date, considerably
disappointed many who advocate
British air supremacy at all costs,
and they are supporting medical en-
thusiasts in the hope of saving these
huge and costly airships from the
air ministry's economy axe
Interviewed by the London Globe,
a leading doctor attached to the
Royal Air Force during the war, de-
clared that the ariships would pro-
vide wonderful treatment for the
cure of consumption and other dis
eases. Patients would be able to
live for several days or weeks at 4
height of 5000 feet, enjoying com
plete rest and breathing air as pure
as that of any of the most famous
mountain spas.
at is no use a doctor telling poor
patient to go to Davos Platz or any
other expensive mountain resort for
consumption, the doctor said. "He
can't afford it. But an airship can
go higher than any mountain and
the air 5000 feet above London is
as good as anywhere else. Airships
of the RIA and R3S type could be
fitted up as sanatoria for patients
suffering from consumption, amaze
mia, neurethenia, and other ills, and
could, except in very wild weather,
cruise about for week at time"

The local force of the Pacific Tel
ephone and Telegraph company has
been working hard for the past week
trying to repair the great damage
done the lines in the city and sur
rounding country during the heavy
snow storms of last week. This
company is perhaps the hardest hit
by the storm of any one in the val
lev. Fully 115 lines were down af-
ter the snow storm as shown on the
board in the office. This represent
ed probably 400 telephones out OF
order. The telephone people have
made as many repairs as possible
during the past week, although the
board shows about fifty lines still
down. The company is getting an
increased force from Eugene today,
however, to expedite matters and
expect to be able to have all tele-
phones in working order in a short
time.

CHRISTMAS SEALS WILL
SEAL FATE OF TUBERCULOSIS

Ninety per cent of the money re-
sulting from the sale of the little
Christmas stickers in this state will
be used to lessen the menace OF tu-
berculosis in Oregon of which there
are at all times 5000 open cases, in
Guiding GAL tuberculous soldiers and
rejected men.
This dread disease menaces every
community, every home and every in
dividual, yet tuberculosis is prevent
able and durable. The old theory
that it has been inherited has been
exploded. Everyone who has the
disease has contracted it; and in
every case it could have been avoid
ed with the right environment, with
the right precautions.
During the past year 100000 men,
women and children in this country
died of tuberculosis. This terrible
disease costs the United States in
economic waste $5O0,0O0,O00 an
nually. More than 100000 per-
sons in this country are now sui-
fering from active tuberculosis.
If you favor fighting this monu-
mental menace by means of public
health nurses. open air schools, the
teaching of health hygiene in .the
public schools and the providing OF
care for the afflicted and segrega-
ton from those not afflicted, buy
Christmas Seals tomorrow.
