NEW TRACT TAKEN
OVER FOR CAMP
BY PARK BOARD

A In 1914 ]. B. Ware, then one Of
Ashland's city councilmen, and now
connected with the Grand Rapids
Trust company, at Grand Rapids,
Mich, anticipated the growth of the
Ashland auto camp ground. He pre-
dicted that the time would speed
lily come when Ashland would find
her available camp space entirely in
adequate, and made very wise pro-
vision In the interest OF the city. Ly-
ing between Ashland creek and Gran
ite street was tract 200 by 800
feet mostly covered with timber,
which he considered the only avail
able ground for camp ground expan-
sion. This tract was privately own
ed, and he felt II should be secured
to the city so that when II was need
ed 1t would not be held at an ex-
orbltant price. He proposed that
the city buy the ground while II was
cheap, but other officials did not
see the future as he did, and did not
act, whereupon he proposed that he
and Mr.. Greer buy the tract and
hold till such time as II would be
needed for camp extension, to be
offered to the city, when II was
found that 1t would be needed, at
cost plus taxes.
This year the auto camp ground
has been oyer-crowded, often many
cars not finding room for their ac-
commodation and having to drive
away. The park board opened nego-
tiations for the Ware-Greer tract
and deal has Just been closed
whereby the city acquires ii. and
the auto camp will be greatly en-
larged.
Mr.. Ware was public spirited
citizen and an indefatigable worker
for the community while citizen
here, and Notwithstanding he
met with severe criticism while
councilman, has held the
property as agreed, and this week
turned 1t over to the city at cost
plus taxes without a penny of inter-
est on the six year investment. The
property goes to the city at s1,34O.
Had it not been for Mr.. Wares fose-
sight and public spirit, 1t would like
ly have cost the city some $4,000.
The park board have plans for It's
immediate improvement for addl-
tional camping space, and the park
superintendent will proceed at once
to adapt it to the purpose.

twenty carloads of apples were

Callahan stated. The increased ship
ments for this year are attributed
to the increased acreage taken over
by the growers and the change from

! Prefer +. o. b. Shipments
Mr.. Callahan states that previous
to this year all shipments had been
made in consignments to eastern
markets and were subjected to the
eastern fluctuations In price. The
method sometimes caused consid-
cradle loss to the grower. By ship
ping I. o. b. the grower is sure of 4
definite price, Mr. Callahn says The
last method is said to be especially
advantageous FOR the small grower
The local produce company is to ship
the greater share Of the Talent grow
ers' apple crop because of the new
shipplng methods. In past years
much of the Talent business was
handled In Medford.
Although shipping to numerous
eastern markets, the produce com.
pany here dlsposes of the largest
share Of the local apple crop to an
English market, sending the fame OF
Ashland as fruit growing section
to Europe and the British Isles.
Berry Market Good
The berry market is good and will
continue until the end of this month.
With approximately 15O crates
packed every day, blackberries are
now topping the market.
An average of fifty boxes of Hale
peaches are being shipped daily, Mr..
Callahan states, to points in Klam-
'ath county and northern California.
The Crawford, Elberta and Salway
peaches will not be much in evidence
until the middle OF this month. The
peach shipment for this year is esti-
mated at about six carloads. The
average yearly peach shipment Is
twenty-five cars. This years peach
crop was seriously damaged by the
frost which visited the local orchards
in May.
Bartlett Pears In Two Weeks
The local produce company will
start shipping Bartlett pears in two
weeks, although the crop is not ex-
pected to be very large. Bartlett
pears are not raised as extensively
by orchardists here as at other points
in the valley. The Bose, Comice,
Krummell and De Anjou pears will
be ready for market in September

seldom runs over 200 people. He
also pointed to the halls in the ii.
brary, which are not in demand as
such cheerful, pleasant rooms should
be.
Thinks Grounds Too Large
A prominent Civic member urged
that the request for so much land be
withdrawn, because of the expense
of looking after lawns and flowers.
A few window boxes and cement
paths sound simpler than struggling
to add to Ashland the beautiful"
Although the matter OF granting
land on Park avenue for Civic club
building was discussed by the coun-
ell several months ago, no decision
was reached, and no reply to the
petition sent to the Civic club. May
or Lamkin stands. behind the dis
cussed sixty foot frontage on Park
avenue, which he and the members
of the city council considered ade-
quate at the time of the petition.
The Civic club building committee
has agreed to withdraw the request
for 125 feet, and to urge the coun-
ell to grant a long lease on seventy
five feet.
Necessitates Change Of Plan
Instead of community building
with a large central hall, the Civic
club expects to build the rest room
--'the Ashland idea"-fOr babies
and mothers, and large comfort.
able club room where all women will
be welcome, and women tourists will
be made to feel that Ashland Is the
home town where they want to set
tie. There will be a hall that will
accommodate about 200 people, with
kitchen and all the up-to-date con-
veniences.
The building will be as beautiful
in smaller way, as the proposed
community building. While the Civic
club is eager to be of service to the
city, members of the building COM
mittee feel that the time is not ripe
for a building whose upkeep might
prove too great a burden. They are
glad not to undertake such heavy
responsibility, and later, should the
need arise for a community center,
along with the development Of the
"get-together" spirit, the Civic CLUB
building might be used as start
ing point.
WIN Re Started Soon
Meanwhile, as soon as the city
council grants use Of the land, the
building will be started. Mr.. Lamb
is working on the plans with the
same enthusiasm that he had for the
larger building. The Civic club will
enjoy its own home, rent to some of
the smaller clubs that have already
asked for admittance, and continue
to do Its best to be OF service to
Ashland. As one president wrote
of the Civic club: "The main object
has ever been to keep in touch with
the vital questions of the day, and
to devote its energies toward the bet
terment of conditions"
Money is coming in small checks.
Please make yours as large as you
can. The change Of plans will re-
duce the cost of building nearly one
half. Your good will is worth even
more than your money.
