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.

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

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

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.

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

RECEIVED WITH GLADNESS
TCewa of Fair Appropriation Reaches
Osaka.
OSAKA. Japan. March iO.(Speclal corre
spondence.) 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. LEO FRIEDE.

ONLY PARTLY TRUE.
Popular Ideas Regarding Catarrh.
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.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain in
highly concentrated form, blood root, red
gum of the Eucalyptus tree, and many
other equally valuable curative elements,
and no one who suffers from any form of
catarrh and has seen the inefficiency of
douches, sprays and powders will ever go
back to them after once trying so pleas
ant a preparation as Stuart s Catarrh
Tablets, and one which gives so much re
lief in so short a time.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at au cents for full-sized package,
and the regular dally use of them will
effectually cure this troublesome and
dangerous disease.
