The Ashland Commercial Club is
in receipt of a communication from
the Medford Commercial Club sug
gesting that a rally be held at Med
ford by the civic bodies ot that city
and Ashland, Grants Pass, Klamath
Falls, Central Point, Hold Hill, Tal
ent, Eagle Point and Rogueriver with
a view to organizing for systematic
ally boosting the natural attractions
of Southern Oregon.
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

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

The parliamentarians ot the Boys'

ing Tuesday night in a body. The
boys have organized a city council
and completed an organization for the
purpose of conducting their affairs in

Fourth of July
Field Left Open
The Ashland Commercial Clal
voted Monday night to take no action
in the matter of backing a Fourth of
July celebration leaving th ttukl
open to any other organization or tin
citizens as a whole. 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

Councilmen Defend j
The Good Dogs
A petition several feet long was
presented to the council Tuesday
light to prohibit dogs from running
at large in the city. It occasioned
considerable discussion and finally
was referred to the ordinance com
mittee. The dogs found staunch sup
porters among the councilmen, es
pecially those of a quiet and domestic
nature with the proper Identification
tags attached to their necks.
It is believed the ordinances on
this subject at the present time cover
