We are just beginning to wake up to the fact that we have in and around our city more natural advantages than any other city in the United States, or maybe the world. We have springs, beautiful scenery, mountains, good roads, and everything else you might mention. Some, however, have to be developed. Our town is beautiful with trees, flowers and green lawns. When the springs are developed and people begin to come into the city, Ashlanders will begin to take ft pride in their city and commence to spruce up. Everybody will then take pride in having perfect lawns and well-kept yards the weed-grown lots will be come a thing of the past. A new undeveloped resource of Ashland bas recently been discovered by progressive citizens the building of a fine drive around the crest of Roper's Bunion. This drive is sur veyed along the line of the old elec tric light plant's power line, starting up Ashland creek and following al most to the crest of the Bunion. The road will start at the First National Bank, go up the hill to East Fork street, then to Park street, back to West Fork street, which is surveyed to run along the old ditch line. At torney Moore is now at work getting the property owners along the road line to deed over their half of the road, and all of them are willing in fact, it was suggested by them to the city council. This drive will give a fine view, and it will be much appre ciated by visitors. It will be through the trees, and be fine for autos as the grade will be practically level after autos once get up to It. Fork street as yet has not been opened up or graded. Some of the promoters have though out the idea of having a citizens' day, on which occasion all the citizens of Ashland will turn out and contribute their la bor to the cause. Some have already offered their teams and labor for the work. If about 500 to 800 men could get on the road line at once they could make quite a showing in the work of getting the road started. The ladies could serve dinner In the park and it could be a general all-round community day. All the stores would be asked to close, so their proprietors could lame themselves up a bit. This event, according to City En gineer Walker, could not take place very well for some time, as numerous matters will have to be attended to. What will Ashland find next? Herman Mattern , Talks on Springs Herman Mattern Is much interested in the outcome of the mineral springs project. He has visited most of the great watering resorts of the world. He has lived in Ashland for 21 years, not because he had his business inter ests here, but because he knew of no finer place in America for home life. He says of the great European re sorts, Carlsbad, Bad Nauheim and Bad Neienar have waters similar to ours, but the climatic conditions, fer tility of soil, conditions for home life, pastoral beauty, and scenic beauty of their surroundings and settings can not in any way be compared to Ash land. Most of these places have no other charm but their medicinal wa ters. The topography of the environ ment is such that there is little room for town building at the springs, yet thousands of tourists a season visit them and leave millions of dollars. Ashland, with her splendid environ ment, and the whole valley as well, will be increased greatly In popula tion by those drawn here primarily by our mineral waters, but, charmed by our natural environment, will become permanent citizens. This will not all occur in a day, but the population should be increased from year to year. It is the combination of our mineral waters with the other charms of this section that will attract per manent population. From time to time Mr. Mattern has entertained visitors here from Europe and from all parts of the United States, and in every Instance they have grown enthusiastic over Ashland's splendid scenic and climatic situation. It Is these as well as our waters that in sure the success of the springs proj ect. The season at Carlsbad, Manitou Springs and Glenwood Springs in Col orado is short, yet at Glenwood Springs, for instance, the railroad has Invested more than a million dollars in a tourist hotel and beautifying the grounds to accommodate tourists for but three months in the year. These resorts, on account of their shorter seasons, do not afford nearly the' opportunity for revenue that Ashland does, for our summer season is easy six months long, besides our winter season is already looked upon with such favor that six thousand people are delighted to live here the year through. Should Ashland get one thousand tourists, coming and going, and they should average but $2.50 each, some staying a day or two, others a month or two, it would mean to Ashland $2,500 per day, $73,000 per month, or $900,000 per year. Is that estimate too high? Is that worth going after, as a purely business proposition? The citizens of Ashland will answer to morrow in no uncertain way. k Iffcui ill -S -, . . Paint your house.
