14 THE MORNING OKEQONIAN. S'ATUKDAT, APRIL 4, 19Q3. ASHLAND, CTREGON HAS A MONTHLY PAYROLL OF $45,000 HAS VERY MANY ATTRACTIONS AS A SUMMER RESORT ASHLAND. March SL Speclal Corre spondence.) The leading and enterprising dtlxens of Ashland believe In advertlslnE and having la the location and environ ment of their town many attractive fea tures, and desire to let tne ouusiuc know something about them. Experienced advertisers have learned that a well warded, "catchy" phrase Is a valuable as jKt for exploiting any article, and so the residents and friends of Ashland have given titles to the town. Among the name commonly used are: Teach Blow Paradise." "Pay Roll Town." "Home Town." "School Town." "Growing Town." Trait and Flower Town." "Pure Water Town," "Resort Town." "Leading Town," "Manufacturing Town." Bach of thene titles outlines some feature of Ashland, and the phrases In that connection are not meaningless. X Home Town. One of the very first things to attract a visitor Is the' strong claim which the town has as a desirable place of residence. This feature of a town has two valnes; one value Is that the person having an Income Independent of wages or trade would se lect Ashland for a home because It ap peals to his fancy. A second value Is the fact that wage-earners of a better class will congregate In a town whera the sur roundings are pleasant. It attracts men with families, and as a consequence out of the over 400 wage-earners In Ashland a majority either already or Intend soon to have their families here. The title "Home Town" arises largely from the fact that Ashland has so many pretty and pictur esque homea owned by the residents. 1'ench Blow Paradise. The name "Peach Blow Paradise" was first applied to the town and country by its very enthusiastic advocate. Max Pracht, who never tired of sounding Its praises. Ashland Is situated on a hillside giving from the residences a splendid and unobstructed view across the valley to the mountains opposite, the Intervening space being pleasingly varied with orchard, mea dow, grain and pasture lands. Extending up these hillsides, above the town limits and on each side of the town site for several miles, are thousands of fruit trees, principally peaches, and when these are In full bloom the country Is one mass of pink color, and the delicious fragrance fills the air. If the season Is favorable, about the time President Roosevelt passes through Ashland (May Ml), the country will be a garland of blossom, to obtain a view of which It Is only necessary to go on the rising ground opposite the town. There arc hundreds of acres here In fruit, and the sales last Tear amounted to over 10O.W9 boxes, principally peaches, part going by express, part by freight, and . part being purchased by the fruit cannery. The average net price of the peaches, after all experues were paid, was 4S cents a box. The average crop last year was 230 boxes to the acre, although one tract of 16 ncres produced 5000 boxes, or over 300 boxes 1o the acre. There Is an abundance of fruit land not yet set out which can be purchased for from J20 to 135 an acre, and the cost of a flve-year-old peach orchard Is about J150 an acre. A net return of 175 an acre annually yields a very good profit on the Investment, and a more extensive Investment ln'frult orchards will be made. In addition to peaches, the soli arid cli mate In and around Ashland are adapted to raising cherries, apples, pears, prunes, plums, nectarines and all the small fruits, such as Mrawberrles, raspberries, Logan berries, blackberries, currants, gooseber ries, etc The raising of tomatoes Is be coming a profitable and Important crop. "There Is room for many more persons to engage In these Industries, and the demand Is not nearly supplied for the home mar ket alone In many lines. A Pay Itoll Town. Ashland Is a division of the' Southern Pacific Railroad, and quite an important one. on account of the Siskiyou Mountains directly south, which reach an elevation where the railroad crosses of 4133 feet, only IT miles distant, and being 2C3S feet higher than Ashland, which has an eleva tion of 1S30 feet. A large permanent force of men Is kept in the yards here in va rious departments, and engineers, firemen, crews of trains, etc., change here. I made careful Inquiry In order to get accurate figures for publication, and learned that there are 36! men who are In the service of the railroad company and draw their pay at Ashland, the total amount being 134.CR0 each month. To this may be added about 110.000 paid to employes in various private manufacturing enterprises here. making the total about J43.000 a month. It is this pay roll which adds largely to the prosperity of Ashland, and the Increasing traffic of the Southern Pacific will tend rather to increase than diminish the pay roll. The Southern Pacific has a 10-stall brick roundhouse, and 30 engines arrive and depart here dally. There are from 33 to 43 train crews which change here, and about 40 engineers and SO firemen. The consumption of coal Is 17,000 tons a year end 7000 cords of wood. When the oll- burnlng locomotives are used 2.75Q.000 gal lons of oil will be kept stored In the largo tank, which Is a year's supply. The following table gives the monthly pay roll In various enterprises In Ash land: Southern Pacific Railroad S3I.CS0 Ashland M'fg. Cc sawmill 7.000 Mnnnlntr & Polly, sawmills 2.0W Ashlcnd Foundry 100 Planlrgmllls 60 Ice Plant and Electric Light Co CM Flourlngmlll 700 Southern Oregon Marble Co COO Fruit cannery (averages) .. 230 Creamer' - 300 Steam Foundry - 40) Cigar factor' - 400 Ashland Meat Co 500 Total -JIS.730 A School Totvo. Ashland has a high school and two gram mar schools, with a total enrollment of 131. employing 16 teachers, with a monthly pay roll of 3930; also the Southern Oregon State Normal School, with an enrollment of 270, employing six teachers, with a monthly pay roll of JG20. The total enroll ment In all the xchools Is 1100 pupils. Dur ing July of each pear the Chautauquana meet at Ashland, and for ten days there Is a school of from 500 to 600 being Instructed by the brightest Instructors and special ists of the country. The State Normal School Is presided over by Professor B. F. Mulkey. for several years A teacher In the Monmouth Normal School, assisted by T W. Bishop. A. O. Ward. W. T. Van Scoy. Miss Stella Case and Miss Millie Doughty. The attendance In the Normal proper Is 107. and the training department Co. which I am Informed Is an Increase over the .attendance last year of nearly 2.0 per cent. The school Is In a flourish. Ing condition, and the state made an ap propriation at the last session of the Leg islature tor a new training school build' Ing to cost tSOOtt. Next year three more teachers will be added to the faculty. There are students here from IS out of the S3 counties In Oregon. The teachers In the several departments of the public schools here are: Professor . T. Cameron. Miss XJda Lottridge. Miss Margaret Byers. Miss E. Johnson. Miss M. Leslie. Miss N. Ewan. Miss M. M. Williams. Professor R. Burn- ham. Miss D. Wlllits. Miss A. Wetle, Miss J. Taylor. Mtss Fl Bentl'ey. Miss H. GIrason. Miss C Bentley. Miss A. Be be and Miss a. Garrett. The recently built school building Is on modern plans, is of bnck and cost nearly sm.um. A Grovrlnir. Town. During last year nearly 100 new dwell ings were erected In Ashland, and from what I can learn the prospects are for as many more this year. There are no empty houses, ana ine urgent demand for both residences and buslnens houses win call for many new buildings. A Pare "Water Toirn. The citizens of Ashland are justly proud of their exceuent system of water works. which arc owned by the city aad have cost $60,000. The water Is taken out of Ash land Creek, two and a half miles above town, and comes direct from the snow capped Ashland "Butte, 8200 feet high, and only 12 miles distant. The stream starts from under an ice glacier, covered with trees, and Into which no refuse Is thrown. as the land Is In & reserve and Is not oc cupied. The upper system has a faU or pressure of JU feet and the lower of its feet, and the water Is deUdously cool even during the Summer months. The rates for water are Jl a month to each family, and irrigation is S cents for each one-quarter acre each month. The city is protected against fire with an ample number of fire hydrants and a splendid pressure. Ashland has an abundance of pure water. A llealthy Town , The elevation of Ashland above sea level Is nearly 3000 feet, the porous nature of the soil and drainage and the pure water, coming almost directly from snow banks. Ashland Is very free from malarial dis eases of all kinds. It is situated on the extreme southern limit of Oregon and partakes of the dry atmosphere incident to its southern location and its high alti tude gives it cooling breezes and an In vigorating climate In both Winter and Summer. A Leading; Town. Ashland has a population of 2500 or- more. The census of school children, added to the attendance at the Normal school is a total of about 1303. No other town in Southern Oregon can make as good a snowing in that line. On that basis alone a claim of a population of 3500 is conserv ative. A Resort Town. The attractions of Ashland for the Sum mer tourist are ro many and varied that I am surprised the town has not been ad vertised more extensively and been more exploited. There are excellent hotel ac commodations; there are sulphur and soda springs; there are various other mineral springs: there are fine camslng grounds. witn nsning and bunting close at band. ana tnere should be a Summer popuuv tion at Ashland each year of at least 1000 transient people. It would seem a lack of appreciation of the value of adver tising along this line by Interested par ties is largely to blame for the lack of appreciation manifested by the tourist ana traveler. One sulphur spring here has been Improved, but it Is advertised but little. There are two more good springs wmcn couia be improved and by ludl clous advertising be made to pay hand somely during the season. There are soda springs which are quite well patronized, but could accommodate very many more. There is a peculiarly mineralized spring near Asniand which emits a vapor which is poisonous, but by allowing this vapor to come in contact with the human boar It Invigorates and tones up the system and nas a very perceptible rejuvenating ef fect, both on the male and female. There Is an opportunity for some one to take hold of this and by liberal advertising Duim up a large Business. Around and about Ashland are delight ful places for walks and drives, oulte close to town. The Chautauqua park, on Ashland Creek. Is one of these pleasant piaces.io sit curing the warm sunny days ox oummer. It seems to me the advantages of Ah. land and vicinity are not advertised as ex. tenslvely by interested parties hen as iney snouia be. Ashland Is also the nolnt of ifonartiir by stage for Crater Lake and Pelican Bay, but men locally Interested financially nccra io give inese tacva only limited puoiicuy. A Manufacturing Town. There are here a foundry and machine shop, doing a growing business, sash and door factories, marble works, stone quar ries, fruit cannery, creamery, cold-storage plant, flouring mill and to this Is shortly to be added a large brewing plant. There are two sawmills near town em ploying a total of 175 men. a steam laun dry, cigar factor'. quartzmUI. etc. At present the water power of Ashland Creek is ample for the manufactures.- but the increasing use of the water for small powers will bring Into use electric power irom a aistance zor tno larger slants. and already contracts are being made witn tne Churchill Power Co.. In Slsklvou County, as well as with the Ray Power to., at -ioio, ror electric power at Ash' land. A Moral Community. There are only five saloons In Ashland. the yearly license being S900. and there are nine churches, namely. Presbyterian, Bap tist, jaetnoaisi xJplseopaL Catholic Epis copal, aavenust. congregational. Dun- kards and Christian. The entemrislng women of Ashland have been collecting a iiorary lor tne past 12 years and have now over 3000 volumes of well-selected books for public use. The brick opera- nouse nere is managed by D. B. Fox. ana Asniana gives a liberal support to nrst-ciass talent. Gardening and truck farming hera re turn surprising results. Mr. L W. Hicks Informed me he raised 3300 boxes of toma toes last year on two acres; 1000 boxes of peppers on one acre: 30.000 pounds of cab bages on one acre; 160 sacks of potatoes on one acre; 30.000 pounds of onions on one acre. He also raised string beans, rw-sm cauliflower, radishes. lettuce, etc He has eoo square feet of land covered with Class. The Ashland Preserving Company put up 140 tons of fruit last year, employing from 30 to 35 hands during the season and paying out In wages about 13000. Th i- rletles canned were peaches, pears, prunes. apricots, nectarines, apples, tomatoes, strawberries, blackberries. Logan berries, raspberries, cherries, pumpkins, beans. squash, etc The Ashland creamery made 75.003 pounds of butter last year, paying out JI300 a month for cream, with a monthly pay roll of about CS0. This creimery has been successfully operated by Mr. Perozzl for the past eight years. My limited space has not allowed me to even touch on the fine stock raised here, on the Importance of this as a mining section, etc The Board of Trade issues a booklet which goes much more Into detail than I have been able to do. E. C P. . ANOTHER VIEW. Professor Delltiech on the Origin of the Bible. MTRTLE POINT. Or.. March 31 (To the Editor.) Professor Delltzsch. of Berlin, whose archeologlcal researches In Babylon are well known, has said to the world: Scientific theology has long since recognized the truth that the Scriptures came Into being by the grad ual accretion of various literary docu ments into a canon. The real origin of the Ten Command ments Is the following: From hoary an tiquity there existed old customs and laws that were regarded as forms for trade and business and for divine wor ship. These were used by Moses tor his ends. Now we know for a certainty that long before the days of Moses there ex isted In Babylon an organized state with a well-regulated system of laws, as Is made evident- again by the discovery of the code of Hammurabi. These laws in many respects reflect the same principles that are found in the Decalogue, and without doubt Moses, drew on these old er sources for his code. Future re search may yet decide what portion of the Ten Commandments was derived from the Semitic people in general, what portion came directly from Babylonia, and what portions, if any, are specifi cally Israelltlsh. The Assyriologists have not given the theologians opportunity to reply to these conclusions reached by the distinguished professor, for they with an almost per fect unanimity refers to accept them. At the International Congress of Orient alists, held not long ago at Hamburg. no voice was lifted by any speaker in favor of the views of Delltxseh. Profes sor Hlrprecht, of Philadelphia, whose great book, recently published. The Ore gonlan. with good reason, looks upon with favor, and to whom belongs the honor of the decipherment, or. me in scriptions at Nlffer, recently said In Germany: Recently the attempt has been made to demonstrate that the pure ly monotheistic religion of Israel was derived from Babylonia. On tne oasis of mv researches, covering a pertrfd of 15 years, I must declare that this Is an absolute Impossibility, me laim or me Israelites could never have had its ori gin in the Babylonian mountain of the gods, which Is full of death and the savor of death." The fact of parallels among Oriental peoples to the stories In Genesis marks the similar character and religiousness of these stories re corded by the author of the Pentateuch. They who adhere to a primal revelation made unto man from God himself are not surprised that cosmogonies and re ligions bear trace of that revelation. Many who have been drawn toward In tuitional notions are at present putting less depedence upon such notions than formerly. B. J. HOADLET. BIG MINING DEAL. East Side Men Form a Company to Develop Their Property. In vesterdar morning's Oregonlan was an account of the filing of mining deeds at Oregon City by the Northern. Light Mining &. Milling Company. Involving 1532.000. By this deal an Individual syndi cate became a mining company that can sue and be sued. It Is composed entirely of East Elds men. who are: Edward Renfer. T. O. H. and T. & West, H. Gerhardus. Fred Roberts. August Pautz. Charles Frazier, V. Schmidt, N. B. Hall, Albion O. Melnlg and August Kornsecxer, each of whom Is credited with having received large sums of money for their claims In the Shena Creek mining district. "While no money passed it may be said that the filing of the deeds In Clackamas County Is in Une with a plan of reorgan ization and formation of a mining com pany the Individual owners had under contemplation for some time, and the sums of money" they are represented to have received is so mucn stocic in a com pany with capital stock of Jl.000.00a The officers of this company are as follows: President, Edward Renfer; vice-president, Albion O. Melnlg; secretary and treasurer, T. S. West. A year ago these men1 mentioned, formed a pool to prospect and develop the quartz mine on Huckleberry Mountain to Shena Creek, near the mouth of Salmon River. A tunnel run Into the. side of the moun tain, has attained a depth of over 300 feet. The ore taken out carries silver. copper, lead and some gold, and has con tinued to increase In richness. Mr. Renfer, president Of the company, who Is a grad uate of a mining and engineering school, said yesterday that the indications for a rich strike are very favorable. He nays that the.assay of the ore Is highly satis factory, so much so that the company contemplates spending J10.C00 this Summer in continuing the work. The company has received an offer to run another important tunnel for J4000. This new tunnel. If made, win be lower down the mountain side. A meeting of the stockholders of the company will be held at the office of Pres ident Renfer next Monday, when it will then be decided what work will be done this year. The company owns 160 acres of land on the side of Huckleberry Moun tain. BISHOP 1IEIL COMING. Will Preside Over Annual Conference United Evangelical Church. Bishop- W. F. Hell, of Allentown.

The passengers were safely taken ashore this afternoon by the United States llfesaving crew of Point Reyes. The schooner will be a total loss. The schooner went ashore this morning with a heavy sea beating around here, The waves were too high to permit the passengers or crew to reach shore by the steamer's boats, and. gathered together1 on the stern, they awaited the arrival of the llfesavera, whue a crowd on shore encour aged them not to despair of their safety. When the Point Reyes crew arrived this afternoon they lost no time in beginning the work of rescue, and soon had the pas sengers safe on shore. Captain Bash, of the Albion River, deemed it best later In the afternoon to take the crew ashore, and this was done by the Point Reyes llfesaving crew. The vessel has commenced to break up, and will be a total loss. The Albion River was owned in this city, and had been engaged in the lumber trade between San Francisco and North ern California ports.

It goes without saying that your many readers are well and promptly Informed of the day's doings, but this knowledge, even 30 days after publication. Is doubly gratifying to your readers In this distant land. The Item in point applies to Colonel Dosch and myself, as we peruse The Ore gonlan, and among its many items have learned the State Legislature has made the desired appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, for It is news we were anxious to hear, and to Impart to those whom wi seek to Impress with the possIbUltles of our 1S05 Exhibition. It has made a good impression upon the. officials with whom we have come in. contact, and materially strengthens the band of Colo nel Dosch in realizing his hopes of secur ing a return exhibit for the one made by the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Your readers will probably be pleased to hear some general facts about the Osaka Exposition, now being held. While proclaimed as an international exhibit. the foreign exhibits are very limited In number. Austria and Germany make a moderate exhibit of locomotives, machin ery of various classes and dye stuffs, but the Canadian Pacific Railroad, seeming bent on advertising their transcontinental route. Is making a very extensive showing of all the resources of Canada. The show ing of grains, grasses, canned fruits. med,ts. preserves and dairy products would, be a credit to a state fair, and. added' thereto. In most artistic style, are models of their steamships floating in artificial lakes, and trains traversing their scenic mountains, supplemented with magnificent painted scenery. Such a large part of tne exhibits being devoted to showing the products named, one not knowing to the contrary, would assume Canada was bid ding for Japanese immigration. The rail road company appropriated 375,000 for this exhibit, and this sum could bs used as a basts for the railroads centering in Port land, which certainly will reap greater and more lasting results from our Exposition than will the Canadian Pacific from this distant country. Next in order of prominence among for eign exhibits, it Is a pleasure to state. Is the Lewis and Clark exhibit, which is ef fectively set out, through the genius of Colonel Doscn, the commissioner In charge. It was the only foreign exhibit in place on the opening day of the fair, and honor is due our commissioner for his zealous and untiring efforts to bring this about on time, in face of many local detentions. As Is known to our citizens, oflr products are the necessities of life the world canndt dispense with, and fit to grace the choicest clolsenne or Satsuma porcelains produced by the genius of Ja pan. It Is self-evident, our samples on ex hibition have great merit, for before the first week had expired a firm opened nego tiations to purchase at the close of the exposition the entire lot sent over, and secure therewith the agency for the future yales of the same. It Is to be regretted that more of our manufacturers did not avail themselves of this golden opportu nity to display their wares, and thereby secure for themselves this Eastern mar ket. The Japs are extremely adroit in duplicating most things made abroad, but of the products of the Pacific Coast he has not the material wherewith to make the same, and only requires the necessary education to learn their uses for general consumption. As Is reasonable to presume, the Jap anese exhibit Is the most extensive on the grounds, and a careful examination will show how clever these people are at work Involving patience and the In stinct of copying. In the latter element we .find their .display of scales, clocks. surgical and surveying instruments, me chanics' tools, printing presses and -many other appliances a perfect duplication In style and flnlsh of the' well-known makes seen In everyday use. with us. They do not" attempt to make the least change In the exterior appearances to which many articles -would readily be subject, and for which thereby would receive a credit fbr the semblance of orlglnaUty. As a fur ther point for Illustration, some 10 years ago a display showcase was brought to the country, labeled "sample box." Today there are thousands in use all over the country, but never one falling to be labeled as was the original one. regardless for the display use It is employed. In patient painstaking, the Jap Is ex- ceedluglv skillful In Damascene wares, the decoration of various porcelains, and the embroidery of silk goods. In each of these .departments they have a very large and effective display and for show pur poses are very much admired. In their agricultural department i greater variety is on display in the lines of grains, timber and fisheries than is usually understood as being a material product of the country; but the same may be as limited as the growth of wool, which is represented by a single fleece. accompanied by a photograph showing a flock of sheep In a pen. A large fine arts building has been erect ed, but f a signal failure can be pointed to. It Is the effort of the Japanese to por tray either nature or the lines of beauty with pigment. Comment is unnecessary, it must be seen. All in all. the exhibition Is a very creditable one. and. considering that 50 years marks the time since the Japanese people have made an effort to adopt est- era civilization; they deserve unstinted praise for their showing, and success will follow It. It is to be hoped they will make a gosd exhibit at the time of the Lewis and Clark Exposition in 1305, to en able our citizens who have not attended the Osaka Exposition, better to acquaint themselves' with what constitutes Jap- anse skill and genius.

It is the common belief that what is popularly known .as catarrh Js simply' a chronic cold In the head. Totals true as far as it goes, but as a matter of fact catarrh Is by no means confined to the nasal passages, but extends wherever the mucous membrane extends, which means nearly every part of the body. The mucous membrane la ue inside skin of the "body, and Is nearly as extensive as the outside skin, and any inflammation of this membrane causing an extra .secretion ol fluid is really catarrh. Catarrh Is, therefore, an old enemy dis guised by many confusing names, for In stance: Rhinitis Is nasal catarrh: laryn gitis and pharyngitis throat catarrh; gas tritis, 'stomach catarrh; cystitis and ne phritis, catarrh of the bladder and kid neys. Therefore, although the' location of the trouble gives It various names. In reality the sura total Is catarrh.- and nothing else. Do not make the mistake of thinking you have no catarrh because the head and nose appear to be clear. If there Is a cough, tickling In the throat and hoarse ness, you have throat catarrh; If there is no appetite, but nausea, gagging and dis gust for food especially la the morning; -you have catarrh of the stomach The surest treatment for every form of catarrh Is an external remedy which acts especlauy on the blood and mucous mem branes; such a remedy Is the new prep aration sold everywhere by druggists un der the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, a meoielne In pleasant tablet form and containing all the best and -latest specifics for catarrh.
