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

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

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
