The Ashland Commercial Club Is requested to surest a satisfactory date for such a meeting. It is sug gested also that Will G. Steele be invited to be present with his lecture and lantern slides on Crater Lake and that other slides of Southern Oregon beauties be gathered together for the occasion. The idea is that out of this booster meeting a com mittee would be appointed whose duty it would be to see that the glories of Southern Oregon are properly exploited. In stating the case Secretary Streets of the Medford Club urges that Jackson and Josephine and Klamath counties be "united In a strong campaign for the develop- ment, improvement and advertising of Southern Oregon's natural attrac tions. We have particularly in mind Crater Lake, Klamath Lake, Oregon Caves, Ashland Butte, the upper Rogue River and such other natural beauty spots as we can profitably spend some time and effort on." Tristing in the park is not to be allowed it the city council cna pre vent it. At the meeting Tuesday! evening a special policeman and care taker was authorized under the direc tion of the police department. His principal duty will be to pohce the j park during the summer months and take care of the crowds in tne even- City Engineer Walker, who has been supervising the laying of the new 24-inch pipe water main in Ash land canyon has completed the work.

The matter cainn up for discussion through a communi cation from the Medford Chamiier oL Commerce, which suggested that tui.-; is "Ashland's year" and that it. would lend its support to a celebration here. The sentiment of the club seemed to be that it has enough irons in tlio fire at present with the Mineral Springs and Normal School projects both of which are just now taxing the finances of the public with a vlew , to providing permanent uplift for tbj city. It was suggested also that Ash land skyrockets should be saved for the day when one or both of tUs! of the year for religious worship at 1'ro.iects culminate successfully, seven-thirty.
