COUNTY Y. NJ. G. A. PLANS
FOR SUMMER CAMP

The county Y. M. c. A. will con-
duct big summer camp for men and
boys this year. Plans are already
being laid and locations inspected.
There are many beauty spots in
southern Oregon, but not all of them
for various reasons are suitable for
a boys camp. One of the most ne
cessary adjuncts is the traditional
"swimmin' hole" There must be
sufficient depth of warm water
without much current and no treach-
erous eddies. A point somewhere on
Elk creek may be chosen. Boys OF
12 years or over, without regard to
affiliation with any organization
will be admitted to the camp. The
outing will continue for ten days
will be carefully supervised by men
and will have many constructive fea
lures and wholesome influences
Cash Wood, county Y. NJ. C. A. sec
retary, will act as camp director
The camp will assemble about july
10th.

today, large as it is, cannot accom-
modate the demand for reservations
throughout the winter. And he told
how co-incident with the growth of
the hotel was the growth of Ell Cen
tro, from a little place of couple
of thousand of people, to thriving
town of nearly ten thousand. He
showed how the development of each
went forward, side by side, and
pointed out that the results would
be the same in Ashland except that
the field was greater, owing to the
fact that the assets of southern Ore
gon, from the Josephine Caves and
Crater Lake, to the California line,
all contiguous and a part of Ash
lands assets, offered thousandfold
greater attraction for the tourist,
than almost any other place in the
United States that he knew of. He
pointed out how practically every
thing of value in the way of tourist
attractions in California had been
worked out and that the same old
scenes were being visited by the
tourists over and over again. There
was nothing left to offer them Moth
ing left to advertise. But southern
Oregon was a virgin field, that only
had to be made known to the world
to insure a teeming population of
tourists the year around.
Mr.. Richmond's proposition ap-,
peared to be received favorably by
the committee, though of course no
definite action was taken, nor will
there be until the concrete plan is
submitted to them, which Mr.. Rich
mond promises will be at as early
date as feasible. There was no
reference made as to a site for the
hotel. That will be a matter for de-
termination by the company after it
is formed, as well as all the other
details.

At last the big hotel proposition
is definitely under way. This after
noon the hotel committee after hav-
ing a definite proposition outlined
to them by A. l.. Richmond, went on
a sightseeing trip up the canyon as
far as "Sap-andSsit," and which
will probably afford opportunities
for individual talks and the inter-
change of ideas. The party are ex-
pected to return in time for Messrs.
Richmond and Mccormick to leave
for San Francisco in the latter's pri-
yate car attached to train So at 4:4O
this afternoon.
This morning the party paid a
visit to Buckhorn Lodge at Tolman

The magnificent scenic panorama
which is unfolded from the peak of
Green Springs mountain. After this,
Mr.. Richmond's mind was made up.
He was prepared to commit himself
to the project.
This he did in no uncertain man
ner, when he met with the committee
at l o'clock. 1t was informal talk
the talk of plain, straightforward
business men. He let it be known
right from the start that he was op-
posed to anything in the way of
bonus. THAT sort of thing is all
right for promoters" he said, "but
am not a promoter My mission Is
The upbuilding of territory" He told
how he had gone into the Imperial
valley and how with the moral sup
port and help of the Southern Pa
cific railroad, he had built the mag
nlficent Barbara Worth hotel, per-
haps, one of the finest tourist hotels
in America, on what was practically
a desert, and in three years was a
substantial dividend payer and which

FIX SPEED LIMIT

From the gathering Of city Off
cials and citizens, which came to-
gether in the city hall last night
much good Is likely to eventuate, anc
it is probable that out of it may
come 2 solution OF the vexed prob
lem In connection with the traffic
regulations, the enforcement OF
which has already lone great deal
of harm to Ashland
Unless prompt steps are taken to
check the Misrepresentation made
in other towns in regard to our traf-
fic laws, 1t will mean a loss of thou
sands of dollars to this city, by the
diversion of the tourist traffic. While
the mayor has not yet had time to
prepare a definite schedule for the
tourists, which will limit the speed
of vehicles to 20 miles an hour, 1t
has been decided that less than this
is not practicable.
There will be a big gathering of
the Pacific Northwest Tourists asso-
citation in Tacoma today, and Secre-
tary OF the Chamber of Commerce
Fuller has sent a telegram to the
convention announcing that 20 miles
an hour within the city limits had
been fixed for the speed of tourists
through the City of Ashland, and
asking that the same be given con-
spicuous notice This is a good move
and will do much to offset the harm
done by the misleading publication
in the current issue Of the Oregon
Motorlst.
In the matter of signs, 1t was the
sense OF the meeting last night that
large overhead signs should be erect !
ed over the highway, in such man
ner as to compel the attention OF
the tour sts The trouble with the
signs as displayed at present is that
they cannot be seen until the motor
list is almost on top of them, and
it is then too late to slow down.
Another matter which was given at
tention was the hours during which
the "slow down" rules should apply
to the public schools. 1t was thought
that If Il was enforced during school
hours only, 1t would meet all re-
Quirements. It is expected tha'
whatever change in the regulations
that may be made by the mayor to
meet the present conditions and rec
concentrations OF the meeting last
night, will be quickly announced and
steps taken to give them the widest
publicity possible.

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE
CLUB DELIGHTS A
LARGE AUDIENCE

The two glee clubs and the or
chestra of the Ashland high school
appeared before large audience
Friday night In a very successful
program. All the members reflected
great credit upon bo,h those who
took part and the director, Miss Le-
ona Marsters.
The program opened with the
Hungarian Dance" by the orches-
ira, and it was very well rendered.
The girls glee club, consisting of 22
members, then made a very attract
i've appearance. The barcarOlle from
"Tales of Hoffman," with violin
obligato, was especially pretty.
A mixed quartet, consisting of
Ethel Hazen, Vera Champie, Harvey
Wood and Raymond Bowers, rem
dered several numbers, both secu-
lar and sacred, in very creditable
manner.
The greatest surprise Of the even
ing came when the boys glee club,
consisting of 23 members, made an
appearance, singing as separate
organization for the first time.
Words of highest praise were heard
for the manner in which their songs
were presented. The "Sea Fever"
which was repeated. and Cotton
Field Melodies" were especially
well liked.
Leonard Petit delighted the au
dience with two beautiful violin Sc
lections very skillfully played.
Part one closed with the MIN
uet," first played by the orchestra,
then danced by eight of the young
people in costume. The effect was
exertmely pleasing.
The orchestra opened the second
part of the program with the Anvil
chorus from al Trovatore." It was
played with such expression and fin
sh as to do credit to the careful
training the members had received.
A fitting climax of the program
was the appearance Of both gleeI
,lubs in chorus, making two rows
entirely across the stage.
rhe last numbers, Anchored" and
Good Night, Beloved" were very
harmonious and showed the good
Qualities of the two glee clubs when
singing separately.
Mention should be made Of the ef-
'icient accompaniment of Gertrude
Brown for the orchestra, Margaret
Johnson for the two glee clubs, and
Mss Marsters for the special num-
,ers.
