Gds0meter for
Mineral Springs
Arrives Today

This forenoon saw the first load
of machinery taken out to the plant
of the Carb0nic Acid Gas company at
the Pompadour Mineral Springs east
OF Ashland. This consisted OF the
huge gasometer which was hauled
from the local railroad yards TO the
springs where it will be installed
The machine was a bulky affair and
required considerable engineering to
get it loaded on wagon and hauled
over the rough road to the mineral
springs, where the concrete founda-
tion is already completed for its in
stallation, as well as the buildings
for the rest OF the machinery. The
compressor, motor and balance Of the
machinery will arrive in few days.
Work on the installation and con-
struction of the plant will be rushed,
now that the prospects are good for
pleasant weather, and the plant viii
be in working order as soon AS pos
sible. A new road into the springs
has been surveyed, and grading will
be started as soon as weather per-
mits.

The Chamber OF Commerce has de.
clded to place before its members
and the people of Ashland two 1mpor-
tant questions for referendum. These
are the Inauguration of a Commun-
ity Chest and the matter of celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July. Both these
questions are OF interest and impor-
tance to Ashland and as such II Is
agreed every citizen should have the
opportunity of expressing his or her
opinion on the matter, provided the
citizens wish to do so.
Regarding the Community Chest,
should this be adopted, It will be car
ried out much in the same manner
as the Ashland Patriotic Fund" or
War Chest during the war. Indiyid-
uals paid in such monthly or annu-
ally as they saw fit and all drives
were paid out of this fund This did
away with the annoyance and ex-
pense of separate drives. As CAM
paigs for funds are continually com-
ing up, many citities are adopting
this form of meeting them. The
question will be put to vote: Shall
Ashland also establish a Community
Chest?

Possibilities
Of Ashland Are
Met With Favor

Benjamin Ripin, who purchased
Jesse Winburn's interest in the Ash
land development Corporation. ar
rived in the city Sunday.
He has spent most of his time in
looking around Ashland and stated
that the reports about the scenic sur
roundings have not been exaggerated.
He is very iayorably impressed with
the city and those of the citizens
whom he has met.
Influenced by the original inter-
ton of Mr. Winburn to make ASH
land health resort; since his pur-
chase of the corporation, Mr. Ripin
has been carefully studying the sys-
tens and developments of such re-
sorts throughout the United States.
so that he is In position, il neces-
sary, to make use Of the extensive
experience of those successful cura-
tive water resorts.
Mr.. Rippin is of the opinion with
his experience and with the exten-
slve advertising appropriation at his
command, he could bring the city
of Ashland into prominence and the
salubrities of the state of Oregon
before the people of the United
States.

Will Decide Urgent
Questions By Vote

In regard to the celebration ques-
ton, many people are of the opinion
that one day is sufficient to celebrate
the Fourth of July. while others wish
to continue the three day celebration
that has been carried out for seye-
raj years past. This is also a ques-
tion that the Chamber OF Commerce
feels should be put up to the people
to decide. and not left to a commit
tee or a certain few.
Ballots for voting on these ques-
tions will be issued to each member
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
must be marked and mailed or de-
liyered personally to the secretary
not later than Saturday, March 2G.
In order to reach citizens who are
not members of the Chamber the
ballot is printed each day in the
Daily Tidings. and may be cut out
and also delivered to the Chamber
OF Commerce marked with the send
er's vote.
1t has been decided by the Cham
Der of Commerce to settle important
questions of this sort by referendum,
so that every person who so desires
may have say in the affairs Of Ash
land.

eral waters, was presented and spoke
briefly as to the plans of himself and
associates.

Our National Headquarters has re-
celved information indicating a move
for a nationwide revival of German
propaganda activities in the United
States, which are the result of Il
carefully directed national campaign.
the objects of which seem to be:
First-The disruption of the accord
which exists between the United
States and our Allies, with particu-
lar reference to France and Great
Britain. by turning of American pop
ular sentiment against the govern
ments OF those countries, and-Sec-
ond-The methodicaD creation OF a
powerful national political machine
by the amalgamation of the disloyal
elements OF our population and their
elevation to place OF power in
American offices by the invisible in
fluence OF this organized minority.
One of the first national manifesto
tions of their activities took the form
of protest against the occupation OF
the Rhine by French negro troops
from Africa. The alleged presence

as a motive to turn American senti-
ment against France. Negro troops

identified with this movement are
individuals whose disloyalty and
whose efforts in the interest OF Ger
many have been notorious in the past
and who are now again in direct COM
munication with Berlin.
Reports of pro-German activities
from many parts OF the country ap-
pear to connect directly with the Ma
tional propaganda campaign here
outlined.
Such propaganda is out of place,
unwanted, and intolerable in view OF
the fact that the United States is still
technically in a state of war with
Germany, and the American Legion
will serve as a damper on all such,
and will not let them go unchal-
lenged.

LIBRARIANS TALK
AT FORUM LUNCH

Library work in the city, county
and state was the theme of discus
sion at the weekly Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday noon aI
the Hotel Austin,
Ashland was especially fortunate
In having as a guest for the day Miss
Cornelia Marvin, the state librarian
who is weh known to many Ash
land people.
Miss Marvin gave n very pleasing
talk and ut the beginning referred to
the fact that Ashland has the sec
Ond oldest library in the state OF
Oregon, Portland being the first An
interesting fact in connection with
the Ashland library. as stated by
Miss Marvin is that 1t was started
by the Epworth League and turned
over to the city, finally established
as an association library, Nomember
10, 1891.
Some of the thoughts given by Miss
Marvin were that any book now own
ed by the state OF Oregon was avail
able to any person in the state OF
Oregon. and that this plan would be
further increased i'm value by CO.
operation OF the city, county and state
libraries.
The subject of taxation methods
of support for schools and libraries
was touched upon. A special request
was made that study be given to DR..
Owen Adair's bills to come before
the electorate in June.
Miss Van SAINT of Medford, who lsI
county librarian, spoke particularly
of the county work, stating tina seven
branches and twenty-three stations
have been established in the county,
although this is the first year OF the
county library work.
Miss Blanche Hicks, Ashland's li-l
brarian, spoke Of the work of the
Ashland library. stating that during
the past winter the circulation Of
the library had increased twenty-five
per cent. Part of this increase was
accounted for by added population
and part by special work in the
schools.
Miss Marvin visited the high school |
ifter the luncheon and spoke to the
student body. calling attention of the
Students to the fact that they should
study the problems that are con-
.ronting our country and the world
It the present time.
The first subject she mentioned was
hat of taxation, and that as applied
PARTICULARLY to the support Of our
chool system with its increasing de
nands
How shall the money be raised? I
Miss Marvin advocated an income
AK believing that all persons should
ontribute to the support OF schools
nd that 1t should not be confined TO
hose owning a house or a farm.
The second topic mentioned was
he japanese question and its rela-
Ion to world questions and recon.
truction. The average Japanese
chool child knows more about the
istory and the characters OF our
ountry than scarcely anyone does
bout Japan. 1t is OF the greatest
Importance that we should study and
now about China, Japan. Korea and
II these other countries.

tions up before the council meeting

stances come to the end of the road
