NOW Is THE TIME
TO BURN SLASHINGS

The Closed season for slash
burning begins June and ex-
tends to October l. Therefore. it
is greatly desired that all slash
ings in the county be burned dur
ins the month of May wherever
the burning can be done with
safety.
Slashings turn into fire traps
during the hot summer months
and are always a serious menace,
not only to adjoining timberland,
but also to the property and
homes of others. 1t is therefore
desired to call attention of all set
tiers, wood cutters, and loggers
to the assistance that can be rem
dered the state and county by dis
posing of their slashings at as
early a date as possible,
The Oregon forest fire law pro-
vides that all logging slashings
shall be burned annually. State
Supervising Warden II. J. Eberly,
address, care Forest Service, Med
ford, will furnish any information
that may be desired on this work.
Any slash burning done after
June l must be done under per-
mits issued by state fire warden,
but prior to June no permits
are necessary. Caution is urged
in slash disposal, in seeing that
the fire does not escape to the
property of another, which case

COMMENCEMENT DAYS AGAIN

The days Of the sweet girl grad
uate are close at hand, when fond
parents and loving friends are to
listen to essays and Orations, lit.
erary creations that are to be
treasured for life. Here is a
splendid opportunity for aid in the
work of Americanization which
is just now uppermost in the
thoughts Of many patriotic people.
Why not forget for once that "Be-
yond the Alps lies Italy" and let
the essays and orations bubble
over with thoughts 100 per cent
American?
These very graduation exercises
will carry with them lessons that
teach the greatness OF our system
of government and the equal OPP
Eortunities it offers to the chill
dren of every land who come to
cur shores. In the list Of those
who will step out as educated men
and women, fitted for the battle
of life, are the sons and daugh-
ters of men and women from the
four quarters of the globe, none
OF whom could have hoped for the
same opportunities in the land OF
their birth.
With free schools and equal op-
our educational insti-
tut.ons give an excellent illustra-
tion of the greatness of this coun-
try and at no time more so than
at commencement time.

making Il stop in this city, no eff

the free auto camp and over the
Glenyiew drive, from where they
again came out on East Main
street and continued over the Pa
cilic highway to the California

CELEBRATION PLANS
GETTING UNDER WAY

that is mentioned or heard of in
order to procure the very best en-
tertainment for the three days
celebration on July 3, 4 and 5, the
celebration committee has hit
upon several plans which promise
to make the coming events the
most entertaining and novel ever
presented in this valley. The nov
city of the Roundup, which had
been such a popular feature for
the past three years, has worn
off, and that mode Of entertaining
the crowds for the Fourth is now
considered passed so it behooyes
the committee to plan something
else strictly new, mover and high.
ly entertaining.
During the past week the com
mittee have got their heads to-
gether and are devising many fea-
lures that will put other Celebra-
tions in the shade, if carried out
by all the residents of Ashland as
they should be. The first of the
three great days celebration wiz
be Miners day. This will be
staged to follow out the strenu-
Gus days OF 40 and the '60s, when
gold was king in tie West. Every
Cne is expected to wear the garb
Of the miner OF those halcyon
days, and anyone found wearing
white shirt or stiff collar will be
brough before a court of justice
and given the sentence due him.
a miners row will be main
tanned on that day, with all the
games and amusements of those
days which made stirring times in
that period. A large corps Of
sheriffs will be in evidence with
the traditional long whiskers and
six shooters, to reinforce Sheriff
Terrill's posse.
The second day, July 4, being
Sunday, will consist of church SER
vice in the morning and evening.
Clergymen Of national promi-
nence will preach in the Chau-
tauqua auditorium at both SER
vices. A MONDAY picnic in the
park will be big feature, and
this will be followed by a patriotic
address in the park in the after
noon. One of the nations most
famous orators or statesmen will
be procured to deliver this ad-
dress, when it will be perhaps a
chance of a lifetime to hear
The committee have also not
forgotten the kiddes on this day.
While their parents are enjoying
the services in the auditorium the
children will be given some fine
entertainment in the park. This
will be personally conducted by
careful chaperOns, who will see
that no harm befalls the little
ones, while they will have the
pleasure and privilege of enjoying
themselves on the nations birth
day in safe and sane manner
On the third day the great pa :,
rades and athletic sports will take
Place. Plans are being formulat-
ed to make these features more
notable than any ever presented
here. While all plans are yet in
the formative stage they will be
new and novel in the extreme.
and the committee expect to put
on q celebration that will 80 down
in history as one of the leading.
events of the valley.
Other big features promised for ,
the celebration will be a great
display of fireworks. Negotia-
tions are being made with com
panies handling this line to have
one of the greatest pyrotechnic
displays ever presented here on .
this occasion. A boring contest
is also being arranged and will
be given on the last day.
