MUST FURNISH HOMES TOW
ACCOMMODATE NEWCOMERS

In his report to the stockholders
of The Citizens Bank of Ashland, at
their annual meeting on last Tuesday,
Cashier V. o. n. Smith made the fol-
lowing statement
There Is now demand for more
property in town than Is available
and suitable for rent, which is quite
a change from conditions only few
months ago. Rents are too low to
furnish inducement for the invest
ment of new capital in residence
property, but il the present condi-
tion long prevails rents will undoubt-
edly rise, which will make better
market for the sale of real estate, as
we'll as furnish the inducement for
capital to build additional houses for
rental purposes. One thing is GER
tain, and that is that we can not
hope to realize much benefit from
our investment in the mineral springs
and park propositions until we are in
position to furnish accommodations
to the tourist, traveller and home
seeker, who are already with us in
perceptible numbers, and who come
ready and willing to pay for accom-
modations If they can only be had"

POOR COWS AS HEAVY
EATERS AS GOOD ONES

Feed cost of poor producing COWS
in Oregon is but little lower than
that Of high producing cows. 1t cost
but $11.S6 less to feed the cows on
test which produced 800 pounds of
fat than those which produced 400
pounds, The cost for cows yielding
200 pounds Of fat was only s6.75
less than for those yielding 800 lbs.
Hence the difference in the total
feed cost between COWS producing
200 pounds and 400 pounds of fat
was 1854. Yet the value of their
product. which cost but little less
than the product Of the good pro-
ducers, was worth only about half as
much. The entire difference in cost
of feed for cows producing 100 lbs.
and 400 lbs. of fat was $1,000.

ENGINEERS FIND COUNTRY
BARREN IN TRACK OF WAE

]. NJ. Spencer of Company c, S1Stn
Engineers, has written to his mother,
Mrs. A. c. Spencer, some of his in
teresting experiences chasing the
Hun from the invaded country across
the Hindenburg line, The latter prov
ed their superiority, however, as mas
terhands at retreat, for the SlSth
never saw the Germans at all in the
drive in that sector.
Mr.. Spencer tells of the war rid
died country which is now the abomi-
nation of desolation, Bare hills, with
not living thing in sight. A few
gaunt stubs of trees hold shell-rid-
dies branches like ghost bonds. The
ground, he states, is one big sore of
shell holes, with trenches for miles,
while endless tangles of barbed wire
and broken war implements cover
the country. There is hardly any
water in this ravished country, and
what little there is is not fit for use.
In his communicate which was dat
ed November II, Mr. Spencer said:
I'VE were routed out about three
clock one morning and started in
full pack to go to the front some
thirty miles away. About 3 o'clock
the next afternoon we came up line
of low hills from which the forest had
been uprooted and entirely stripped
Not foot of ground but had been
torn up by shells or shovels, and usu-
ally by both We began then to get
an idea of war
"As we crossed the areas we learn
ed that We were crossing the Hin
denburg line where the American ana
French line guns stood hub to hub
along the entire front to batter thee
way thru. The forest of beech. oak
and alder was completely riddled and
ruined by she'll and bullet, until il
was only tangled mass of broken
brush"
After q long hike thru the mud
and rain Mr.. Spencer said all they
saw was the result of n runnins
fight. but on the last day they were
cheered by the sound of one Of their
batteries going into action about hali
a mile away. Undoubtedly they were
shooting many miles, he claimed !, as
they never saw the Germans at all
and the drive was completed that
night.

Here Is a Sensible Treatment
That Gives Prompt
Results

Winter and Catarrh are
companions in evil. Catafrh is
sweeping civilization from one
continent to another, just be-
cause civilization does notheed
Natures simple laws. Nature
tells us what to do and we pay
no heed.
Don't think lightly of Ca
tarrh. Do not make the mis-
take of believing that it is
merely an aggravated bad cold.
True, this trouble usually
starts with what is apparently
a cold in the head, but beware
of any cold that ''hangs on"
You may as well realize at the
outset that Catarrh is a serious
disease and one that should not
be trifled with. In fact, in
many instances 10 is a forerun
ner of the most dreaded of all
diseases-consumption.
Don't permit yourself to be
deceived. Perhaps, like thou
sands of others afflicted with
catarrh, you are about ready to
believe that the disease is in
durable, and that you are
doomed to spend the remainder
of your days hawking and spit
ting, with no relief in sight
from inflamed and stopped up
air passages that make the days
miserable and the nights sleep
less.
If you are in the grasp of
c a tarr h, your experience
should convince you that the
disease is beyond the reach of
sprays, douches, jellies, balms,
salves and other locally applied
remedies.
