New York Editor Throws
Ashland MANY Bouquets

Following Is story written for
the Tarrytown Daily News by its
managing editor, Walter Odell, de-
scribing his visit to Ashland when
he was here in August with the Ma
tional Editorial association. A pa
per containing the article was sent
to Mayor C. B. Lamkin and this is
what the visitor says of his stop in
this city:
Every day has been a wonder day
since we hit this great northwest
country. We have just left Ashland,
a pretty little village of 5000 inhab-
itants, SO per cent Of whom are
Americans. It is fine residential
town, town any American can be
proud of. 1t is noted for three
things, its sulphur springs, lithia
water and the fact that 1t has only
two policemen, one at night and one
during the day. Tarrytown please
copy. And for three years on the
Fourth of July, when they have a
big celebration and $4,000 people
crowd into the village, not one arrest
has been made. The mayor Of the
town says this record has been made
because the town is the purest Ameri-
can town on the continent.
When we reached Ashland after a
long trip back from Crater Lake, to
which I will refer later, we were dus-
ty and tired, and when our host sug-
gested that we go to the sulphur
baths, for which Ashland is famous,
we jumped at the suggestion. That
bath was one of the bright spots of
the trip. First, we had a drink Of
sulphur water from a spring, but l
can't say that I like it. In fact It
tastes something like a rotten egg,
and that's about the last thing I want
to taste. However 1t has strong
medicinal properties and hundreds
come here to drink and bathe in it,
We went to the Helman baths. The
water is as clear as crystal. The
sulphur water runs into the tank con-
tinually and is warm. Pure spring
water is mixed with 1t and it makes
a fine plunge. The sulphur at first
bothered my nose, but | got used to
It. l had dandy swim followed by
a shower of ice cold water. l felt
like a new man when I got dressed.
Then we drove up to town and in
The city park the women had pre-
pared a wonderful dinner. The ia
bles were set under the trees and II
was a beautiful scene. We had
chicken and biscuit covered with
gravy. scalloped potatoes, salad, pic
llilli, jam and jelly. peaches, plums,
apples, ice cream with strawberry
fruit, coffee and bread. And every
hing was served hot. The enter
prising electric company in the vii
|age furnished the women with two
large electric stoves and connected
them up for the occasion.
Here is an interesting fact for
President Pierson. Electricity is
in the homes for three
cents killowatt for the first fifty
killowats and there is a substantial
reduction on consumption above this
figure. Everybody uses electricity.
Or course the company gets its power
from the fine streams that abound in
his country. I saw one that de-
Veloped 5000 horsepower. All these
owns have the prettiest light stand
ards, and in Ashland and Medford
hey have strings of lights across the
