The seniors indulged in the pleas ures of the day yesterday, when the class came to school dressed in their Sunday . best . and .all . wearing .high banquet collars. When about time for' the last tap of the bell all filed in the door, where they were greeted by Professor Moore in his usual cheery manner and instructed to go to class room No. 10, where the real joke was sprung. What followed we cannot say, but we do know that they seemed to have had a mighty good time at Bowles' shop and passed away a few minutes munching deli cacies, after which they marched back to the school house and resumed their studies. However, some of the boys had mysteriously lost some of their ballroom attire, especially Les ter Burdic, Jr., who by some hook ro crook had sneaked his dad's swallow tail out the kitchen door and ap peared in all his glory, to the edifi cation and enjoyment of the rest. The ladies of the local W. C. T. U met in the library parlor Tuesday, the 31st, in commemoration of the life as well as the death of our be loved state president, Mrs. Edith Hill Booker, who passed away at her home in Portland Saturday, the 2Sth. Her's was a life of consecration to the work taken up, and we mourn that she should be thus early taken from us. We find that Mrs. Bert Greer was once a schoolmate of Mrs. Booker and speaks of her ouly in highest terms, as does also Mrs. Woodward of Grant street, who at one time was a member of her congregation. She was present when Mrs. Booker was ordained to the Baptist ministry. In Pittsburg, Kan. Because of her beautiful Christian life, divinely led. her congregation grew until it often became necessary to move into larger churches. About the year 1898 the Baptists built a fine edifice more suited to accommodate the people. Her lecture, "The Burning Gas Well of Kansas," Is considered, by those who heard It, one of the best ever given on tho coast. We, as co-workers, will ever cher ish the memory of our beloved leuder, and will endeavor to carry on the work she planned with such prayerful energy. MRS. ASHCR AFT, Pres. MRS. GUILEV. Sec. . Springs as Seen By Traveler In a letter to Mrs. Yockey, under date of March 27, Mrs. Dr. Mattle B. Shaw writes as follows: "I think the best proposition is to make a health resort town of Ash land, and use those springs." When it Is remembered that Mrs. Dr. Shaw took a leading part in the recent suffrage agitation here, being president of the association, and since then, has spent a year In Europe, traveling and studying, having visited most of the leading cities there, as well as spent much time in Canada and New York, and other eastern points, her opinion should have no little weight with the voters of this community. Big line of Keen tool at Warner's. Kutter garden April Fool Party. A cotton, cork-coated, sour-dough April Fool contest party was held at 422 Magnolia Boulevard Wednesday, April 1, About seventy-five ladies responded to the following invita tion: "Three April Fools will be on guard at 422 Magnolia Boulevard. Mrs. C. H. VaupeU.Mrs. H. O. Froli bach, Mrs. C. F. Shepherd. 2:30 P. M." Tromptly at 2:30 the guests began to arrive, and upon entering the re ception hall were ushered under a banner bearing the inscription, "All Fools' day." Before participating in the festivities each guest was re quired to don a lavender fool's cap. This badge entitled all present to en ter the contest In the following games: The first was called "The cotton ball game." Thirty of the most sus ceptible ladies present, fifteen on each side, were chosen to play. , It certainly was a '-'far-reaching" con test, inasmuch as the baskets contain ing the cotton balls had been re moved as soon as all the contestants' eyes were closed, and they were left clawing the air and reuching far and wide and yelling frantically, "Pass up the ball, Casey." This little April fool stuut afforded much amusement to the audience, and the contestants, after getting their eyes opened, were willing to acknowledge it was surely April 1st. Game No. 2 was a test of "wireless mental telepathy." From this game all narrow-chested "one-lungers" were barred. Twelve handsome Ama zons with powerful lung capacity were placed behind a muslin screen and required by the sense of touch and mental suggestion from the one passing the article to enable the one at the other end of the line to promptly announce the name of the article. To show how true to name, and how perfectly this can be done, a common housefly that was started at the north end, by the time it reached the southern was pronounced the American eagle bound for Mexico, and a dentist's hand mirror was tak en for a currycomb. A guessing contest taken from thirty-seven celebrated paintings was introduced to test culture and knowl edge of paintings. One painting la beled "Assorted Liqours" (lickers) was the subject of much discussion and the correct answer was finally given by a wise mother who had raised a large family of boys, whose motto had always been "Spare the rod and spoil the child," said it sure ly must be whip, switch and slipper. There were six successful contestants, Mrs. Pell, Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. Nlms, Mrs. Dean, Mrs. M. E. Briggs and Mrs. Summers. The prize was an artistic box of assorted chocolates prepared by one of our leading confectioners, and Mrs. Cunningham, who drew the prize, being of a very liberal temper ament, passed the box to each gum, who partook generously, and a won derful "chewing contest" Immediate ly took place, and such a mixture ot chocolate, cotton, putty, sour dough and cork, well mixed with tongue and teeth, has never been equaled in Ash land. White and lavender flowers were the decorations. Refreshments of white and lavender ice cream, cake and coffee were served. Following is a list of the guests: Mesdames D. R. Mills. Bagley, Kane, Barber, Minkler, Whittle, Monroe, L. A. Nell, Bnrneburg, Newcombe, R. P. Nell, Barron, Ninis, Peil, Plcklns, Bevington, Pracht, Davis, Schwimlny, Briscoe, H.

They have been to San Diego for the winter but report it too hot there for them at this time of year. They have been through Ashland three times and say they al ways found the weather fine and finally decided to stay a while. They are looking for a new home. Mr. Bartley Is an attorney but has for some years devoted his time to the raising of thoroughbred Jersey cattle on his ranches, near Moscow. He states that he will follow this linn of activity if he locates here, but sug gests that land adjacent to Ashland Is held too high for such purposes. Unfortunately there Is too much truth In this assertion. Compare Ashland With mineral Wells We have written considerable com paring our possibilities with Mineral Wells, Texas. We have done this be cause,, the writer has visited Mineral Wells and is familiar, by his own ob servation, with the waters and con ditions surrounding that resort in comparison with the natural resort assets about Ashland. Mineral Wells is not half so attractive as Ashland, either from the standpoint of climate, scenic aspect, medicinal water value, soil, or railroad and auto traffic fa cilities. In fact, It is not to be com pared to Ashland in attractiveness. Notwithstanding that, the railroad entering Mineral Wells shows that 150,000 tickets were checked off at that point last year. If the 150,000 tourists stopping there left an aver age of ten dollars each, the gain to Mineral Wells, directly from the tour ist crop, amounted to $1,500,000 last year. When we consider that the Rogue River Valley fruit crop last year marketed for about that sum, we can get some idea of the future possibilities for Ashland. That is what we must now carefully consider, for we are about to invest a large sum of money in an enterprise of the same kind. Mineral Wells is a dry town, as is 90 per cent of the water ing resorts of America. "Home Folk" Should Send in Names People from all parts of the coun try are constantly stopping off at Ashland to look over our city and country. There are former residents of every state in the Union and many places in Canada residing in Ashland and vicinity. The Commercial Club desires to obtain the names and ad dresses and the places of former resi dence of all our people, both in Ash land and the surrounding country, in order ' when strangers come here it may be able to refer them, if possi ble, to some one from their own lo cality back home, and thus give them a warmer welcome.
