Bob Vining proprietor of the Vin ing Theatre at Ashland left Monday for San Francisco, expecting to ship from there to Alaska to look after his big wholesale business and theatre at Fairbanks. He may come back through here by rail and ship from Seattle, but the probabilities are that he will go direct to Alaska by water from San Francisco and not return to Ashland until the middle of Novem ber. Vinlne nava Southern Oreeon is inn tint fnr ft man who has BDent nearly a score of years in the heart of Alaska and he yearns to get back up there and "slide Into his moose hide underwear." He also is much interested In the boom that will fol low the railroad building about to begin in our northern territory. As an Alaskan wholesaler Vining knows something of the difficulties of transportation Alaska having today Iprb than fil l) mtlPH nr railway in nine disconnected systems, less than 1000 miles of wagon road, 600 miles of winter sled roads, and less than 2000 miles of trails, with 5000 miles of important navigable waterways which are closed by ice for about three quarters of the year. And this in a country comparable in size, resources and climate to Norway and Sweden. It is believed the government will build two lines in Alaska, one con necting the valley of the Yukon with tidewater, and the otner devoted io the valleys of the Kuslcokwim and Susitna. The best available route for the first railway system is that which leads from Cordova by way of Chitina to Fairbanks, and the best available rniifB fnr. thn Rprnnd road is that vhich leads from? Seward around Cook Inlet to the Iditarod.. The first line would be connected with the Behring coal field, and the second line would tap the Matanuska coal field. Event ually the two systems will be tied to gether and branch and local lines will be constructed as the country devel ops. Whatever the route selected, rail road construction In Alaska will af ford countless opportunities for the display of man's ability to triumph ovpr nature. No matter what pass Is selected for the route over the moun tains, it means that the steel tracks must ascend to an altitude of about innn foot and there will be tunneling through solid rock. Snow sheds win have to be constructed to prevent the blocking of the lines in winter by slides of snow, and powerful rotary snow plows such as are in use in the Rockies will have to be provided in abundance. On the White Pass Rail way, which is at present the principal line in Alaska, rotary snow plows are rpouired from November until the latter part of April. i Mr. Vining says this government managed standard gauge railroad, opening up a hitherto Isolated region, will do what no other influence could accomplish for the speedy settlement of a rich and promising domain. This new rail system upon which the presi dent is authorized to expend any sum that may be necessary up to $35,000, 000 will be fully 1000 miles in length an extent of steel-tracked highway which drops a hint as to how big Alaska really is. One of h chief expectations in connection with the new railroad In Alaska is that it wlTl save Uncle Sam millions of dollars in providing coal fnr nnr warRhiDH on the Pacific. As the matter stands at present the only naval coal on tne racinc coasi oi America is In Alaska. The navy now consumes 160,000 tons of coal a year on the Pacific, but in the event of war the consumption would Jump to 200,000 tons per month. Even when the Panama Canal is completed and freight rates are cut In half this would mean an outlay of more than $9,000,000 a year In time of war for transporting coal from the Atlantic coast. and the end now in view Is that Ash land should have a hotel of the tour ist type with perhaps not more than two stories, but covering much ermind and with all rooms, looking out upon beautiful grounds etc. Pres ident sprouie was quoiea as declar ing that this type of hotel would be far more tttractlve and less expensive than the other type mentioned. H. O. Frohbach addressed the club enthusiastically on the proposition of advertising Ashland by means of stereoptlcon views and moving pic ture films at the picture theatres which will be established in the Ore gon building at the San Francisco ex position. He also believes that Ash land should have an annual celebra tion annietime In June that will at tract people as they are attracted to the Rose Carnival at Portland, the Roundup at Pendleton. Mr. Froh bach's suggestions met with hearty approval and a committee will pe ap pointed to act thereon. New members voted in at the Mon day night meeting are J. Edward Thornton, John H. Dugger, C. R. D. Jones, V. W. Watkins, J. J. Morton and H. o. Purucker. Lid Still On Old Grizzly Ashland people 'were startled at about nine o'clock the night of the Fourth by a red glow on the peak of Old Grizzly. The light flared up like a huge bonfire Intermittently for half an hour and was of a blood red hue. Superstitious people jumped at the conclusion that Old Grizzly was emu lating the tactics of Mount Lassen, lmt ninftt fnl ks realized that the red light was due to some Fourth of July prank players. The light was due to the burning of Greek fire on the very peak of the mountain by C. D. Wood and Oliver Anderson. Mr. Wood is man ager of the Eastern Supply Company at Ashland and Oliver Anderson Is In his employ. Mr. Wood and his two daughters and Oliver Anderson and Miss Jean Anderson left Friday even ing and spent the night at the lithla springs. Saturday mornine Wood and An derson rode horses up the trail on the other side of Old Grizzly to with in half a mile of the top. They had dinner en route and ate supper on the peak and prepared a camp for the night. They expected to keep their Greek fire going much longer than they did but were unable to get the neresRarv materials in Ashland Mr. Poley making up the materials which they took along. They report the night air on Old Grizzly very pleasant and no camp firo nereRRarv. Thev slent comfort ably on the peak merely rolled in a blanket without tent or other shelter Water Permits During Quarter City Council Has Session $2 THE YEHR Strictly la Advance . $2 Southern Oregon's Big Twice-a-Week newspaper 1 15bQ Ashland Tidings I'll trmrmfflmtTTTi 1 "m,fl A Good Advertiser Can Sell Good Property-Any Time, Anywhere He must keep his ad at work. It must be THERE when the possible buyer looks and he might not look more than one day out of ten. Of course, he might see and investigate It on Its first Publication, or, per haps, the fifth or sith time It appears. The good advertiser knows that, however persistent a campaign may be required, the cost will be an easily for getable thing when the sale is madel The principal matter considered at the regular monthly meeting of the Commercial Club Monday night was the Mineral Springs Project and its future demands on the Commercial Club and the people of Ashland. The Commercial Club committee which had the project in hand up to the time when commissioners were oicpted to handle the bond issue made Its final financial report and was discharged. The project is now in the hands of the same men they having been elected commissioners by the people. The committee was given a rising vote of thanks by the club for their work. The commissioners report every thing moving along very satisfactorily and all being done that can be done until the bond issue is sold and the money available. Mr. Greer took occasion to make some remarks in regard to various things that it will be necessary for Ashland and the Commercial Club to An In nrAar in realize In the fullest extent the benefits that are expected to accrue from the Mineral Springs Project. He believes that it will be absolutely necessary that the Com mercial Club have an adequate adver tising fund In order to gain the neces sary publicity. The Southern Pacific win An nil It can in advertising the Ashland Mineral springs uesort dui obviously cannot specialize on it to the exclusion of its other resort inter ests. A large amount of advertising must be done by the Asniana com mercial Club and It is suggested that tha hnnr nnblicltv man obtainable should be secured to do the work and get the proposition beiore tne pumic at the very start. The commission ers hope to have the project practical ly ready for touriBt traffic by this fall. ' Another matter that was given con siderable discussion Is that of hotel accommodations. The Idea of a mas sive commercial hotel in the business district with all the "discomforts" of a large city hotel has been abandoned During the quarter ending June thirtieth State Engineer John H. Lewis issued 147 permits to appro priate public waters. The construc tion cost of the proposed works is ap proximately $11,200,000. The pro posed ditches and pipe lines aggre cntn miles in leneth and nrovide for the Irrigation of 21,587 acres of I land, the development of 1715 horse power and for the municipal water supply of six towns. Fourteen of the ! above permits were for the construc tion of reservoirs. The following per mits have been issued in Jackson county for the appropriation of wa ter: School district of Prospect for irrigation of one acre, including do mestic, supply, diverting water irom Mill creek in section thirty-two, town nhin thfrtv-two south, three east. W. B. Hamilton of Medford, for the Irri gation of one acre, Including domestic supply, diverting water from a spring in section eight, township thirty seven south, range two west. Beaver Portland Cement Company of Gold Hill, for mining and manufacturing purposes, diverting water from the Rogue river In section twenty-one, township thirty-six south, range three west. LOCAL S.

Of five 99 Oak Street. ASHLAND. OREGON. QJJ To flue Seller THERE ARE A FEW pieces of property in Ashland that have been offered for less than they are really worth. They have been on the market for some time. Few of them have been sold. The public has not been in a buying mood, hence the price has cut little figure. THE LAST TWO WEEKS show a change. There are a few people buying, many are making inquiries, and altogether it looks now as though there will be takers for all property offered at the RIGHT PRICE. The great mistake many are apt to make at this time is to raise the price. Now, unless you want to keep your property don't put a 1915 price on it at this time. Let the man who buys your place fix the future price. He may make some changes in the house, touch up the premises here and there, and, in 1915 will, if he should so desire, be able to sell at a good advance over what he pays you. This is right. It's legitimate. But because property starts to move and we are looking for prosperous times in Ashland is no reason for your advancing the price. Not if you want to sell. Better take it off the market. To the Beyer Below, we quote you four city properties: Just a little over one block above the Boulevard, C-room house, modern, in splendid condition. Good barn, or can be used as a garage. Nice lot. This is one of the neatest homes in Ashland, and we are offering it at $3 250. Part cash, terms on balance.
