ASHLAND GAINS
RECOGNITION; SCHOOL
AND CHURCH WORK

For many years Ashland has been
noted for the excellency Of her
schools and churches, there being
fourteen of the latter-Methodist
Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist
Christian, Congregational, Christian
Science. Episcopalian, Catholic, Free
Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist,
Brethren, Nazarine, Temple of Truth
and Pentecostal. Thirteen OF these
denominations hold regular services
in their own buildings. the first
three having especially large church
edifices and congregations, the larg-
est numbering over 400. The Pres
byterians have Just finished building
an addition and other improvements
to their church, the total expense be-
ing around $4,000. A half dozen
Sunday school rooms have been pro-
vided, the main auditorium enlarged
and quarters provided for social
affairs.
Less fortunate neighboring munich
palitles sometimes refer to Ashland
as "The Holy City" This was one
OF the first cities Of the state to
abolish the saloon, and its people
have always taken leading part In
temperance and other reform work.
The Southern Oregon Chautauqua
association has for quarter OF a
century held regular annual sessions
which are highly religious and edu-
cational in character, as we'll as en-
tertaining. This year a teachers
training course was given, supplant-
ing to some extent the work Of the
Southern Oregon Normal school,
which was located just east Of Ash
land and for many years prepared
teachers for educational work. Ef-
forts have been made to reopen this
institution and success may yet
crown these laudable labors.
Ashland has three schools, with
the following enrolment: Haw-
thorne, 397; Junior high, 491; high
school, 3O1; total, 1,1S9. This rep
resents an increase Of seventy-three
over last year. The school census
for last year was 1900; this year
1880. About twenty-five pupili
from the Belleview district, just
east OF the city, attended the Ash
land schools last year, but are moi
coming here now. The teaching fore,

To the Boys and Girls of the United

Christmas Is almost here.

Thinks what it means to be Santa
Claus to our 100, 100000 people and

without disappointment.

do 1t if we may have your help. |
want to enlist the active assistance
of every boy and girl in the schools
of our country in getting parcels
mailed this week to relieve the rush
that comes directly before Christ
mas.
Will you go home today and take
this message to your parents and
friends:
"Our postmaster has asked us to
mail our Christmas parcels THIS
WEEK, for, unless we do, Uncle
Sans load may be so heavy the last
few days before Christmas that he
won't be able to deliver all the pres
ents by Christmas eve."
The parcels must be well-wrapped
and tied and addressed plainly in
order that they may arrive in good
condition with their Christmasy ap-
pearance unspoiled. You can put on
your packages, "Do not open until
Christmas.
And, there must be number on
your house, and a mail receptacle,
too, for, if there isn't, Santa Claus
messenger, your letter carrier, may
not be able to find the house where
the present belongs.
There are some other things, too,
in which you can all assist in imp
proving the mail service and in saw
ing our great government millions
of dollars a year that is now wasted
because of our carelessness-yOu
and mine.
Every day that you drop letter in
the mail box 40,000,000 other let
ters are already pushing and jam
ming through the postal machinery.
One letter a day for each family of
five persons in the United States is
given to Uncle Sam to deliver.
When you send a parcel to the
post office for mailing any day there
are about 100000 other parcels
ahead of yours passing through the
postal hopper. This is in ordinary
days; at Christmas time 1t is multi
piled many times.
One family in about every ten puts
badly addressed letter in the mail
every day. This mixes up over o.
100000 half addressed letters with
the 2O,OOO,OOO fully addressed let
ters. That means that the fully ad-
dressed letters must wait on the
slow moving poorly addressed let
ters just like the larger boys and
girls are delayed by a bunch of bad
kids" tagging along.
You boys and girls can help the
postal service and save your father
some money, because he has to help
pay the cost of searching addresses
on letters and parcels sent out by
this one careless and thoughtless
family in every ten.

the careless one. then bear in mind

a crowd Of home folks that no doubt
can remain as to the desrability Of

TOO MANY TAXEATERS.

The new state administrative
beard which IS installed today at the
capitol, gives places to forty-fve
people, including heads sub-heads,
clerks and stenographers, and this in
addition to the regular officers of
other well-governed states. It looks
to Us a. if this state has top-heavy
government; that the overhead ex-
penses are about twice that necessary,
for all these officials and underlings
are paid and paid we'll out of the tan
os imposed on every business and
industry. The object in enacting the
law providing for the administrative
board was stated to be to do away
with a lot of boards and commissions
which, presumably. were eating toe
big a hole in the states income. II

MR.. GONPERS Is RIGHT.

President Gompers of the Ameli-
can Federation Of Labor stoutly re-
fuses to be bulldozed by the radical
labor element that is clamoring for
closer and industrial relations with
the Russian soviet government
About so central labor organizations
and locals have gone on record as op-
posing his anti-bolshevik policy. Mr.
Gompers unmincingly terms them
'unpatriotic Americans" and says
''it is past understanding how Ameri-
can citizens can bring themselves to
aid and comfort propaganda that
has for its purpose the destruction OF
the trade labor movement in America
and overthrow of our republic"
As Mr.. Gompers points out, trade
relations with Russia were normally
resumed in July. 1920, with the re-
moval of the embargo, and toda}
there is no obstacle in the way Of the
Russian people dealing with the Unit
ed States as far as the latter are con
ce1ned."
That fact is colroborated by Set-
retaly Of Commerce Hoover. who sald
in a public statement last week that
there has been no prohibition or
trade for a long time so far as ex-
change Of commodities is concerned
Trade is open through the BaltiC
states and Italy has been trading in

Mr. Gompers knows his grounds

in his stand against the element "

SEWER OUTLETS
EXPOSED BY Low
WATER IN POND
EXTENSIONS SHOULD BE COM
PLETED At ONCE BY ALL
OWNERS OF PRIVATE SEWERS
EMPTYING INTO POND.

The lowering of the water in the
mill pond at Leavenworth has left a
number of sewers with their outlets
high above the water and this has
caused the city considerable concern.
because Of the probability that the
water may be continued at the low
level permanently. The city has had
the city-built sewers extended into
the water so that they are not eX-
posed, and it is likely that oVrers or
private sewers have been or will be
notified to extend the others. If this
has not been done it should. in our
opinion, be attended to at once, every
one cooperating with the authorities
to the end that no fatal emergency.
may arise, for it is probable that If
the dam should 90 out with the high
water sure to come within few
weeks it is not likely that it will
ever be replaced
1t is expected that the gate, at the
dam will be closed within a short
time as this will be necessary before
the saw mill starts operations for the
summer, and this is another reason
why the sewer outlets should be ex-
tended at once-so that in the emer-
gency Of the dam going out the sew
age will still be lead to the water.
