NUMBER 50
Vote 100 1 Yes Tomorrow and iScc Mland a Splendid Watering Resort
Ashland May Lose Her
Valuable Mineral Springs
Smith, Emery & Co. Investigating
Vote Tomorrowl
The Saratoga Springs Plan
The following letter from Smith, These features will all become ini-
The city of Ashland now has five
fine mineral springs that were de
veloped by the Commercial Club com
mittee last winter. In order to hold
these springs the work 'must be be
gun by December 15. According to
the price asked for the Jackson
spring and the Silver spring the ones
the city now has are worth one hun
dred thousand dollars. If the springs
bonds are not made good at the elec
tion tomorrow these valuable springs
will go back to the original owners
and Ashland will lose them.
That Is exactly what Silver Is
fighting for. If the city loses the
springs it now has there will be a
chance for Silver, he thinks, to sell
his springs to the city later. His op
position is a supremely selfish one
and if he had his way Ashland would
wake up Wednesday morning and
find it had lost the five mineral
springs it now controls and would
be out at least one hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr. Silver is working for his own
interest, not the interest of Ashland,
and the citizens should not be fooled
by him.
VOTE 100 X YES tomorrow and
hold the valuable springs Ashland
now has. Let Silver take tare of
himself.
Ashland has the reputation of do
ing things. See that the springs
project goes through tomorrow.
The Southern Pacific
Interest in the Springs
The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company has been behind the Ash
land mineral springs from the start.
It is still behind It and is willing 'to
put Its advertising force behind the
project. '
The railroad believeB in it for the
passenger traffic it will produce. It
will be a big thing for the railroad
only if the people are attracted to
Ashland in large numbers. And if
the springs draws them it has done
what the people of Ashland hoped
it would do.
Suppose that tomorrow the people
of Ashland should, by failing to vote,
allow the charter amendment to be
defeated, thus saying by their votes,
"We have lost faith in the enter
prise." What would the Southern
Pacific people think of us? One
thing is sure, no power on earth
could ever induce that , railroad to
become Interested In Mother Ash
land project. The Interest of 'Ash
land and the, railroad is identical in
this springs development. The rail
road has rendered eveiy assistance to
the springs water commission that it
was able to render and stands ready
to help us through to a splendid suc
cess. Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 17,
is the hour of Ashland's opportunity.
The results of this election will de
termine whether Ashland forges to
the front, in spite of a few sleepy
croakers, or whether she admtis her
domination by back-steppers and
sinks hopelessly into a comatose
state.
Every citizen Interested in the fnture of Ashland should i
not tail to vote tomorrow on the
Springs Charter Amendment
Those opposed to the project will be at the polls in force.
X Unless every voter in favor of it votes the issue will be lost.
Following are the polling places and Judges of election:

Message To Voters
While it would seem unnecessary
to instruct the people or urge them
as to tomorrow's election, an unusual
condition really exists that may Just
ify some words of encouragement
that people may not be sidetracked
or misled. We have no vindictive
language even for the men, if such
there be, who for selfish reasons op
pose the Issuance of bondB to de
velop our springs. Nothing can be
won by saying things to hurt some
one personally. Ashland's only re
sources are climate, specially beautl
ful natural surroundings, located on
a great highway, splendid mountain

A very unique stunt was pulled off
by the Ashland students between the
halves when a funeral procession led
by Yell Leader Abbott, attired in a
swallow-tail coat and a hish silk hat,
marched out on the field. Four pall
bearers and a black casket followed
the color-bearer and her banner,
which bore the inscriptions, "Med
ford at Rest" and "Gone But Not
Forgotten." Then came "Medford's
goat," draped in maroon and black
"and inclosed in a Medford football
Jersey. The procession marched to
the center of the field, where a few
yells were given and six pigeons,
bearing crimson and white ribbons,
were released. The proceedings were
very effective and It "got Medford's
goat." Thier section of the bleach
ers was decidedly quiet for several
minutes.
The big game was preceded by one
between the East and West Side
teams, the latter winning from their
opponents by the score of 19 to 0.
The deciding cup game will be played

Sunday for the east. Will make
thorough investigation of Saratoga
Springs development."
We have been prompted to this ac
tion by publications which we have
read in the Ashland Tidings and
Ashland Record regarding the work
of the state reservation commission
at Saratoga Springs, New York.
While we naturally feel flattered
to find that the findings of the Sara
toga Springs commission are almost
Identical with those of your commis
sion and Simth, Emery & Co.,! we feel
that If there Is any advantage to be
gained for your city by any Investi
gations which have been made by the
Saratoga Springs commission. It Is
due you that we go thoroughly Into
the matter, and we have therefore
detailed one of our most experienced
engineers to make the investigation.
It would appear from a careful pe
rusal of the 1914 report of the Sara
toga Springs commission and the
published letters of Mr. Charles G.
Anthony, that they have been more
vitally concerned regarding the ques
tion of "medical baths" and the "bot
tling of the waters" than in any of
the other features of the develop
ment, and that a large part of their
Investigations has been made along
those lines. These are both ques
tions which have not yet been seri
ously, considered by. your commnnigh
and cannot be, nt this time, under
the plan of development which it
has been practical for you to follow.
accomplishment. At the same tiinw
we are entirely open to suggestion,
and if it can be shown that any fea
ture of the work can probably hn
Improved upon, it will receive our
most careful consideiation.
Yours very truly,

Vote For The
Charter Amendment
The officers and trustees of the
Commercial Club feel that the citi
zens of Ashland should lay aside auy
and all political grievances and per
sonal enmities and unanimously sup
port ut the polls tomorrow the ctiar
ter umendment legalizing the- bond
issue and have therefore so advised
over their own signatures. They do
this without saying or advising that
any particular plan be followed in
the development of our springs, but
for the sole reason that they recog
nize in our springs one of our big
gent assets and believe that we must
successfully market the bonds wa
