ASHLAND,............. WEDNESDAY, JUNE
3, 1896.
EDITORIAL.
We acknowledge the receipt of an in
vitation to attend the Commencement
Exercises of the State University at Eu
gene, to be held June 13-20, 1896. Also
a copy of the program of Commence
ment week.
Words of praise are heard from all
sides for the Memorial Address deliver-
bv Prof. C. A. Hitchcock. Manv say:
“It was the best speech I ever heard.”
Strangers say: “With such a principal,
it is no wonder that you have such good
public scheols.”
For a long time, Ashland has not seen
as much excitement as was manifested
at the election this year. The Populists
are happy over their victory in the
county, while the other parties are try
ing to accept their defeat with the best
possible grace and the belief that “what
is good for the Populist majority ought
not to be ‘very bad’ for the Republican
and the Democratic minorities.”
With the knowledge that the creamery
at Edgewood is a paying investment, it
is only a question of a short time when
a creamery will be established in this
vicinity. Where it will be established
will be determined by the locality that
show’s the most push and enterprise.
Thus is placed before the citizens of
Ashland an opportunity to establish at
this place a profitable industry that they
cannot afford to miss. Ashland is the
leading tow’n in the valley and must
have the creamery. News of further de
velopments in another column.
