THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919. 5 EXCURSIONISTS SEE aSHLAND BEAUTIES Lithia Park and Scenic Thor oughfare Visited. PORTLAND AID IS ASKED Tourist Hotel Wanted Dy Southern City for Accommodation of Pacific Highway Tourists. ASHLAND. Or., Oct. 16. (Special.) Spirit of the new Oregon, -was. the characterization C. C. Chapman grave today to the sentiment that pervaded talks of Ashland business men in greeting the delegation of the Port land Chamber of Commerce on the southern Oregon trade excursion. There is no longer sectionalism, if one may judge by the utterances of offi cial and civic representatives of the communities. Fifty business men of the climatic capital of Oregon, as Postmaster Kiser describes his home city, were guests of the Portland Chamber at the noon luncheon. Mayor C. B. Lamkin portrayed with broad vision the resources of Jackson and Klamath counties tributary to Ashland, gave information as to the payrolls, fruit pack, mills, dairying, livestock, also referring to the proj ect for drilling a deep well in the vicinity to test the possibility of val uable deposits of oil, gas, coal or other mineral wealth. Latent riches In fertility of soil, deposits of gran ite and other building materials and the timbered slopes of the Siskiyous on one side and Cascades to the east were called to attention and with deep earnestness advocated the purpose of Portland to play a part in transpor tation and commercial advancement of the whole of this section of the Late. Banquet Well Attended. The banquet tetidered by the Ash land commercial club was served In the Elks' building, which was made general headquarters for the occa sion throughout the day. Leonard Pettitt, violinist, and Mrs. R. G. Card well, soprano, entertained with music. Speakers were V. O. N. Smith, cashier Citizens" bank; William Briggs, rep resenting bar association; Irving Vin ing, Chautauqua lecturer; L. F. Fer guson, merchant, and Bert R. Greer, president of the commercial club, pre siding. Of the Portland delegation A. H. Devers, Edward Boyce, Harry P. Huntington. Nelson Pike and W. H. ' Beharrell spoke. Twenty-five automobiles were in waiting for the arrival of the party this morning. A tour of beautiful Lithia park was made and scenic high ways to heights overlooking city and orchards were driven over, with a stop for a brief ceremony that was staged on the steps of the main build ing of the old Ashland normal school. Here the patriarch of the institu tion that for 29 years trained teach ers for school work of the state, im personated by Ed. T. Staples, in the habiliments of the cloth and adorned with long hair and whiskers, con ducted a ceremonial service for the school which stopped just short of a burial rite, suspended in the hope that resuscitation might come through the good grace of the great chiefs of the Multnomah tribe. It was a ceremonial that categorically conveyed the Ashland aspect of the abandonment of the school by the people of the state. C. C. Chapman called to the atten tion of the Ashland men that under the Oregon system there are no great chiefs who dictate matters of state affairs and that Portland at the last opportunity presented gave a ma jority for the normal, but that it was defeated by outstate counties. Mr. Chapman assured Ashland that the information given to the delegation was of the nature that it had been hoped to gain by the trip. Merchants Are Visited. The afternoon was given up to get ting acquainted with business men in their stores, offices and plants, with trips to orchards and vineyards of the valleys. In compliment to the visi tors, the banquet was followed with a dance at which the social leaders of the city were in attendance. Festivi ties continued to the early morning hours, the train being scheduled to leave for Grants Pass at 6 A. M. to day. Ashland invites the co-operation and financial help of Portland in the construction of a great tourist hotel that will care for the throngs of tour ists who are coming over the Pacific highway, loitering to visit Crater lake, camping spots of the Cascades and the marble caves of Josephine, basking in sunshine of the Rogue river valley and drinking of the lithia fountain of youth; in promoting fur therance of the road programme and helpfulness, in promoting national publicity for the district, all of which was promised. assessment roll for 1919. as equalized by the county board, was completed today by Assessor Lelnenweber. It gives the assessed value of taxable property in Clatsop county as 28. 241.903. These figures do not in clude public service corporation hold ings, which are expected to total about J2.000.000.

Applications Already . Call for Ex penditure of $130,000 More Than Provided. SALEM, Or., Oct, 16. (Special.) Whether special provision will be made to pay the deficit between the $200,000 provided annually for edu cational aid for soldiers, sailors and marines, by act of the 1919 legisla ture and the $330,000 required by ap plications now on file or whether the claims, after the $200,000 fund is exhausted will be paid from the fund provided as it becomes available from year to year in the order of .helr presentation, is a matter yet to be determined, according to Deputy Sec retary of State Sam A. Kozer. Under the act, which prescribes a two-tenths mill levy on assessed val uation of the etate, a fund of sub stantially $200,000 is created, and this amount is sufficient to -care for 1000 students on the basis of $25 a month and not exceeding $200 in any one year as the law provides. To date, however, there have been received by Mr. Kozer, 1650 applications for aid, practically all of which ask for the maximum allowed by the law. The amount thus requested totals $330,000 yearly. It is thought probable that the emergency board may be called upon to devise a method of caring for the deficit when necessary but go far no action has been taken.

PARK MEMORIAL IS URGED Eugene Blen Propose Improvement of Spencer's Butte. KL'GKNE. Or., Oct. 16. (Special.) Creation of a park on the summit of Spencer's Butte, a mountain 2000 feet high, six miles south of Eugene, to be reached by a scenic road, is sug gested by a number of Eugene men as a suitable memorial for Lane coun ty soldiers, sailors and marines who gave up their lives during the great w ar. Varioua memorial proposals have been suggested, but the Spencer's Butte park idea seems to have met with more favor than any of the others. Advocates of this project state that while a suitable driveway to the sum mit of the butts would cost consider able money, the advertising which Eugene would derive from such a park would be worth the money. A view of the entire upper valley, sev eral snow-clad peaks and the Mc Kenzie and upper Willamette sections is obtained from this eminence. v - J I a c Overcoats for Young Men The types I am showing" to young- men have an engaging personality about them.
