MEDFORD BANK
BLDG. IMPROVED

Work was begun yesterday on the
MedfOrd National Bank building.
Several alterations and improve
ments are planned, which, when COM
pleted, will provide that well-known
financial institution with much more
commodious quarters and every fac
ility for modern making to cope with
its large business growth,
When the work is completed, its
appearance will add much to that
section of the business district. Only
the ground floor will be changed. and
the improvements include the exca-
vation of a large section of the base
ment Beeser Brothers of Seattle

With the completion of the Pacific
highway, the longest stretch of paved
road in the world will be opened to
the auto-touring public. Only few
short stretches remain to be paved
then a continuous belt of cement will
extend from Tia Junana, Mexico, to
Vancouver, Canada, a distance Of
5000 miles, thus uniting three great
nations and three great states.
Automobile touring in the west
has received great impetus with the
construction of this highway. A new
car and paved road would give
anyone the wanderlust. Business men
who were wont to spend the entire
year at their desks, are now taking
two or three months rambling over
the highways, to the mountains, the
lakes, or seaside. Even the farmer
who was scarcely ever known to
leave the old homestead, has gotten
the fever, packed the '1izzie" with
blankets, pans and a grubstake, and
hit out for unknown lands.
Most of these auto tourists carry
camping equipment and prepare
their meals over the campfire and
spread their blankets under the clear
blue sky in the auto camp grounds
by the various towns along
the highway. Most of these towns
take great pride in entertaining the
stranger within their gates"
Ashland boasts of having one of
the most beautifully located and best
municipal auto camps be-
tween Seattle and San Francisco
The comment of tourists who have
made all the larger camps along the
coast bear out this claim. Nestled
snugly between the high walls of
Ashland Creek canyon, the camp is
protected from winds and cold,
while during the summer, cool

free to all. For those who have no
cups, sanitary drinking cups may be
had at the many cup vendors near
the fountains.
On the addition that is being
cleared and leveled now is four
roomed house which will be convert
ed into shower baths and wash
rooms. In the past tourists have
used the shower baths furnished by
Thomas Hill, who runs the grocery
store and service station at the en-
trance of the park.
Mr.. Hill is also planning a num-
Der of improvements on his property.
In addition to full line of groceries
and tobacco, he will carry ice cream
and soft drinks the coming season.
The park commission is planning
to add number of tables this year,
both on the old camp ground and
the new addition. 1t is the aim of
the commission TO furnish one table
for each. camp.
The camp fire place has always
been one of the most popular fea-
ture Of the park, and II promises to
be even more popular this summer
Logs are already being brought down
from the hills and cut for the fire
place. Every night during the sum
mer you may see gathered around
the camp fire hundreds of people
from all walks of life and from all
parts Of the country. Many friend
ships of lasting nature are formed
and those evenings are lived over
and over around the hearth at home.
The tourist who visits Ashland this
summer will not lack for entertain
ment as the Ladies' Civic Improve
ment club is constructing a building
to take care of that feature. 1t will
be known as the community club
house and will provide rest rooms,
reading rooms and baths, both for
tourists and residents.
Concerts will be given as usual
this summer by Mr. Loyeland's band,
and regular dances will be held at
the dance bungalow.
All the play ground apparatus in
the park is at the disposal of the WIS.,
itor There are tennis courts, Gro
quet grounds, and a children's play
ground, fully equipped with swings,
teeters, SSnd boxes, wading pool
and other childish delights.
Lithia park is the chosen spot for
most of the celebrations and sum
mer conventions in southern Oregon
Lodge, church, school, county and
city pOw-wows are generally pulled
off there. The Fourth of July celebra-
ton never fails to draw huge crowds
from all the neighboring country.
