Vets Can Borrow
On Bonded Lana

ES-service men of Oregon are be-
ing misled by articles appearing In
their local newspapers discussing a
purported ruling of the Commission
in regard TO lands in bonded irrlga-
tion districts, said Captain H. c.
Braumbaugh, secretary of the Bonus
Commission, In statement issued
recently.
These articles are based on an en-
tiredly erroneous report that the
Commission has ruled that bonds is
sued in an irrigation district con-
sttutes first lien on land in the
district and that it Is therefore i'm
possible for the owner of such land
to comply with the law requiring
them to give the state a first mort
gage on the property as security for
the loan. For this reason the report
goes on to say, the Commission will
not accept such bonded property as
security for loan. The articles also
quote the attorney general of the
state as the authority behind the
Commission in making such ruling.
These newspaper reports are ut
terly without foundation. The law
is plain on the subject, and specif-
ically eNcepts such lines in stating
the requirements as to the first
mortgage. The encouragement has
never been asked for an opinion on
the subject by the Commission, and
states that he has never rendered
such an opinion. To make such a
ruling as has been reported would
be illegal and in direct contraven-
tion of the letter and spirit of the
law.
In order that there may be no fur
ther misapprehension on this matter,
Captain Brumbaugh states that there
has been no discrimination against
lands in bonded irrigation districts
and that same will be accepted as Sc
curity for the loan. AS matter of
fact, orders for appraisal of lands in
bonded irrigation districts have been
sent to appraisers. which would not
have been done if there had been
any question as to the acceptability
of the security.

ASHLAND LITHIA WATER
ATTRACTS STATE ATTENTION

A letter has been received by the
secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce from the Associated Industries
of Oregon, requesting further infor-
nation in regard to Ashland's lithia
waters, and offering to assist in ad-
vertising them by keeping them in a
fountain in the Oregon building,
free to all who care to try them.
The letter suggests that a foun-
tain could probably be installed there
without cost, and that a permanent
reminder, in the shape of brass or
other metal sign or placard, be dis
played over it, describing the fam
Gus lithia springs OF Ashland.
Further than this, 1t was stated
that the freight and drayage expense
would be taken care OF, and all thai
would devolve upon the local Cham
Der of Commerce would be to dis
patch the tanks.
The letter was answered, saying
the matter would be taken up with
a committee and carefully considered
and the result OF the deliberations
forwarded at an early date.
1t would appear that an offer of
this kind should be given stirct at
tention. and an endeavor made to CO.
operate with the associated indus
tries. IL the plan Is at all feasible.
The tanks suggested In the letter
would be a question needing consld-
Grafton. for It would be very import
ant that the waters placed on display
should be the best possible. Only
such tanks as would preserve all Of
medical properties of the water
should be used.

CIVIC CLUB HOUSE
TO BE COMPLETED

The Civic Improvement club which
has been under the course of con-
struction for the past several months
but which has been held up for the
lack OF funds for some little time, Is
starting on the last lap towards com
pletion.
The outside of the building is be-
ing finished with practically
smooth coat of almost white stucco,
which blends nicely with the gray
roof of the building In the front of
the building, between the two ex-
tended rooms, will be a pergola that
will be covered with vines of various
kinds. 1t is expected that many
meetings of a small nature will be
held here during the summer time,
when the outdoor air would be more
comfortable than inside.
The interior of the building will
contain an auditorium, two reception
rooms, a banquet hall, two rest
rooms, two bath rooms and kitchen.
All rooms will be furnished and
equipped with the most modern fur
niture and equipment obtainable in
order to give it the appearance of
real home.
1t is expected that after the house
is completed, various clubs will take
advantage of the building and ar
range to hold their meetings there,
instead of members having to turn
their homes into club houses two or
three times year. The arrange
ments of the rooms are such that
two clubs could meet there at the
same time, with ease and not bother
one another to any great extent.
Sufficient funds are at hand now
10 keep the building under way for
he present, but more funds must be
raised before it is completed. This
will be done in various ways, as soon
Is warmer weather prevails.

COUNTY SEATS UNIQUE BUT
INEVITABLE DISTINCTION

A howl is going up at the county
seat because of the lack of hotel ac-
commodation. At one time there
were three good hotels in Jackson
vile, and now there are none. There
was considerable talk little while
back to the effect that the owners Of
the Lone Pine mines intended to
construct a hotel, but recently the
announcement was made that the
company had abandoned the idea,
hence the howl. Jacksonville is said
to be the only county seat in the
United States that cannot boast Of
hotel.

MINING INDUSTRY
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The earliest mining in Ashland
was probably done in 1858, when the
district called the "Forty-Nine Dig
gings" was organized For about
two decades the chief mining activity
was in the placer deposits, but the
interest gradually shifted to under
ground mines. and as early as 1880
several of these had been discovered
and opened in a small way. About
1890 the Ashland mine was worked,
and the output in the following six
or seven years was approximately
$3.50, 900, About the same time the
Shorty Hope and Mattern mines We're
productive, but this development De-
came more and more irregular, until
about the time the war broke out,
practically all the claims were aban-
doned, and owing to the depression
that has existed since the war, little
has been done in mining way in
the Ashland district. Now that de;
cded change for the better Is in
sight, several mineral enthusiasts
are again talking about the old dig
glngs In the vicinity, and are only
waiting for the snow to leave the
side hills that they may get busy |
The Sky Line mine, owned by George |
and Dennis Henry, both To-
cal men, promises to turn out some
splendid ore this summer, and other
new claims will be worked
According to mineral experts who
have made a survey of the mineral
resources of the Ashland district, the
I'D Ashland mine Is one of the best
n southern Oregon. The vein ranges
rom two to twelve feet, containing
hipping ore running from $50 to
300 per ton in gold, and has by no {
means been exhausted In fact. 1t

OREGON AUTO CAMP
CONFERENCE AT ROSEBURC

A meeting was held at Roseburg
February 21 for the purpose of get
ting all of the towns that have camp
grounds together, and formulating
one set of rules and regulations for
the use of all such grounds in this
section Of the state.
Ashland was represented at this
meeting and will abide by the set of
rules and regulations adopted, among
which the following are the most i'm
portant.
"That all camp grounds main
tanned by communities for the use Of
automobile tourists should have GER
tain essential features and services
in order to be recognized as stand
ard camps, and that all community
canps that meet these requirements
be classified as Standard Auto Tour
st Camps"
The facilities which are deemed
to be essential by the conference are:
Registration of all cars, includ-
ing the name of the owner or driver,
made of the car and license number,
and home address of the party"
"Toilets and receptacles that will
comply with the regulations of the
state board of health.
Garbage cans and other sanitary
measures necessary to the mainten-
ance of clean camps.
at is the recommendation of this
conference that a charge of so cents
day per car, with q ten day limit
of stay, be made to cover all ordinary
facilities and services offered by the
standard camp.
Lights for camps and for light
ing the toilets, or other places, where
feasible, but lights shall not be pro-
vided for individual tents.
Policing for the protection and
control of the campers under such
plans as local conditions may deter
mine.
1t was decided to name the organi-
zation the Oregon Auto Tourist
Camp Conference" The Oregon State
Tourist and Information bureau was
to be requested TO publish by or be-
fore May l, 1922, a list of all COM
munities in Oregon maintaining a
standardized camp ground.
Various changes are taking place
in other cities having camp grounds
along the highway. Dunsmur has
leased its camp for the year to pri-
vate individual for $500, while
Redding has abandoned their camp
ground altogether, and will leave it
to private capital to provide accomo-
dations for the tourist.
The local camp ground is being
improved and the part purchased
last year, is being smoothed off, and
all the rocks removed, and will add
to the capacity of the
grounds over last year.
The provisions provided for by the
meeting at Roseburg are practically
al provided by the Ashland camp
ground at the present time, and
what few changes are necessary will
be made to make the local grounds,
rs 1t has been in the past, the best
IN the Pacific highway.
