RESORT BUILDERS
ASK INFORMATION
CONCERNING CITY

Words of praise for Ashland as a
resort city together with plea for
literature concerning the city to sup
ply southern California men who are
building hotels and resorts, are con
tained in letter written by Mrs.
Blanche Men Moore, of Los Angeles
to DR.. George o. Jarvis, whose pa
tient she was in Ashland year or
so ago. Mrs. Moore is secretary
treasurer Of the Campo OIL company
OF Los Angeles.
81 have been talking to some men
here that are building hotels and re-
sorts throughout the country, and
they are much Interested In what |
tell them of Ashland and its general
surroundings, says Mrs Moore
Wont you please send me some lit
erature? As I remember it, there
are beautiful grounds adjoining the
park that would be ideal for hotel
property"
Mrs. Moore says she is going to
make here home in Ashland some
day, as Il have. seen nothing in
southern California so beautiful"
"They took me out here fifty-six
miles to see what was put up to me
as wonderful canyon, trees, water,
etc, pictured as having great resort
possibilities, continues the writer.
81 went and looked 1t over. At the
time turned It down because 1t
seemed so ridiculous to me to call II
beauty spot, but after seeing much
more of southern California and com
ing to the realization that her beau
ty spots are all artificial, | believe
this particular place has possbili-
ties, and I have the Pasadena hotel
people interested enough to send
their scout to look it over.
Doctor, If you are not too busy,
please give this matter your atten-
tion. When you have people inter
ested, you know 1t is time to act, ="
concludes Mrs. Men. Moore.

street, who claims that the officers
searched his former residence at SAB
Mountain avenue for Intoxicating

though the search complained Of,
which according to Chief of Police

thrown under suspicion Of making
moonshine by the alleged finding OF

street, in July, the suit was not
started until September.
Chief Hatcher states that infor-
nation was furnished by W. j.
Forbes, owner of the Roca street
property tenanted in July by the
plaintiff and his family, leading to
the belief that Leazer was manu-
featuring liquor, and causing the
search made at the Mountain ave-
nue. home.

tenants because Of his suSpicions
and the possibility of damage suit
against the property owner II in
toxicating liquor was found On the
premises. Justice Of the Peace
Gowdy states that in such an event,
the owner is liable as co-defend-
ant, regardless of completely. 1t
was in the steps taken by Forbes
after consultation with Mr.. Gowdy,
that the officers learned Of the al
legged intoxicants manufacturing OPP
erations of Mr.. Leazer.
In the complaint made by Leazer,
It is stated that the health of Mrs.
Leazer, who was at that time about
to become a mother, was seriously
endangered by the excitement caused
by the search. II Is claimed that
undue violence was used, "wrong-
/ fully and maliciously and without
probable cause searching plaintiffs
premises, throwing the contents OF
bureaus and dressers upon the floor
and frightening plaintiffs wife.
The LeaZer child, born since the
time of the search, Hatcher claims
is normally healthy baby.
Besides Justice Of the Peace
Gowdy, the officers named In the
complaint are Webster Wertz. Mar
win Hibbs and C. w. Priest. Action
Hatcher says, could not be brought
against the officers as Ashland po-
lice officers, and they are conse-
quently named as state constables
Rawles Moore, county attorney, is
defending the officers. and G. NJ
Roberts. Medford lawyer, is attor-
ney for the plaintiff.

EASTER MORNING
IN GRANGEVILLE
(Contributed)

Contributed
After the winter of snow and wind
and illness and depression, what could
be more fitting and inspiring on Eas-
ter morning than to waken and find
the storm was over, the birds were
singing glorious songs of joy, and
the sun smiling assurance that win
ter was nearly past and spring just
around the corner.
Easter morning in Grangeville was
thus typical of Life leaving its storm
and stress behind in the night and
Life opening into its fullness of beauty
in the morning. Typical also of the
promise Of OR future life in the
death ana resurrection Of cur Savior.
The people of Grangeville seemed to
be inspired by the beauty of the
morning and to desire to join with
others in some service Of worship.
At an early hour the Federated
church was filled to overlooking. The
church had been made bright with
Easter lilies and banks of beautiful
plants ferns and palms arranged on
the platform. These made an apprO
pirate setting for the spring-like tone
given by the white gowns and flowers
worn DN Ine WOUlen Ol JHc

exceptional merit was presented
by the choir, the num-
bers used being appropriate for a city
church Great credit is due the choir
for their artistic Interpretation of
the numbers, showing not only
thoughtful care in planning. AMI |
thorough preparation, but careful at
tention to the message contained in
the music.
The sermon by the Rev. H. S. Ran
dali was most able, giving inspiration
to all, and comforting assurance to the |
many of the congregation who have
lately lost some one dear to them.
That the service was appreciated by !
the congregation was shown by the
impressive atmosphere of attention
and devotional worship in which it
was received.

It was not an optical illusion, for the ears are actually running on the Italian railways.

 Promptly upon the outbreak of hostilities, the cars were seized by the Austrian War Office which used them as Red Cross cars. When peace was restored they were re- turned to the Canadian railway. Naturally tourist travel in Austria has disappeared for the ti-2e being, but Italy, which has a very enter prising railway system, has been in better shape for the reception of visitors, and the Itclian govern ment made an offer for the cars which was accepted.
 They were operated for the first time on the Italian State Railways
