8TUBBS NAMES PRIVATE
CAR AFTER ASHLAND
J. C. Stnbbs, traffic director of the
Harritnnn linen, thinks enough of Ore
gon to name hitt private car after one
of Oregon 'h prettiest cities, Kvery
where Mr. Htubbs goes over the coun
try on his business or pleasure trips lie
always ridiw in his own private, car,
the ' ' Ashland. ' ' It was named after
Ashland, Or., the peach town in the
Houtheru jiart of the mate, says the
Portland Oregouian.
The naming of the car for Ashland
was decided upon two years ago, when
the traffic director wan making a tour
of the Pacific coast. lie was just
having hi private car built by the
Pullman company and hud given no
thought to what he would name it.
Hut un the ride over the Sunset route
to Portland from Sail .Francisco, Mr.
Stnbbs fell iu love with the city of
Ashland, Or. He had passed through;
it many times before, but it had never j
appeared so beautiful. It was summer;
time nnd aliiornia was nronn ami (
dusty and the Siskiyou mountains were j
as splendid as ever, but withal rugged (
and forbidding. Hut when .Mr. Stubbs
rode down into Ashland, where the
train Mopped some time, he was struck
with the (juiet beauty of the city,
nestling in the mountains.
He took away with him the memory
of the restfulness and beauty of Ash
land and it struck him thai it would
be a fine thing to name his private
car, just then being finished, after one
of the most picturesipie and happy cit
ies he bad seen in America. Sr Mr.
Stnbbs forestalled the Pullman com
puny, which would have placed another
of itM inane names on the car, and di
reded that it be called the "Ash
land."
Mr. Stubbft left Portland Wednesday
night for his home in Chicago in the
' ' Ashland," accompanied by R. R
Miller, head of the traffic department
of the Harriman lines in this territory.
Mr, Miller accompanied Mr. Stnbbs as
far east us Huntington.
