Club May Occupy
Larger Quarters
With the expansion of the Com
mercial Club the present quarters
threaten to become rather crowded
and there has been some talk of mov
ing to larger quarters upon further
expansion of the club. The following
discussion appeared in the Mail Tri
bune recently from the pen of W. H.
Day of Ashland:
"Contingent upon further expan
sion aa to membership, the Commer
cial Club plans to occupy enlarged
quarters accordingly. A project is
under way whereby the organization
may become housed in the McCarthy
block, on West Main street, occupy
ing those entire quarters which are
now aValalble. The armory formerly
was located on the second floor of
this building and it Is equipped with
every requisite in the way of lobby,
auditorium, kitchen and pantry. The
auditorium affords one of the finest
dancing floors in town, and Is also
suited for other social functions. The
plan is to locate the offices, reading
and billiard rooms on the first floor,
leaving the second floor to be used
as above indicated. The location is
an ideal one, with a north frontage,
and is situated on the principal thor
oughfare through town, where all the
travel over the Pacific highway
would pass directly by Its doors.
"The club membership is now 375,
but this is far from the high water
mark which the promoters of the or
ganization hope to attain in the near
future. If these expectations are
realized the change will be effected,
inasmuch as the club has received tin
offer from the owners of the property
in the way of rental which Is consid
ered a minimum one in view of the
advantage to be derived. The wom
en's auxiliary of the Civic Improve
ment Club is a prominent factor In
the commercial body, and the con
templated change would afford the
ladles ideal quarters in which to hold
their gatherings."
Henry W. Savage's production of
the musical delight of the decade, the
operetta "Sari," with Mizzl Hajos
and the New York cast, comes to the
Vlnlng theatre June 24. "Sari" was
hailed by the New York critics and
theatre-going public last season as
the legitimate successor to "Tb
Merry Widow" and, like that other
triumph of Mr. Savage's, is of Hun
garian origin. It played for one en
tire season and part of another in
New York. The music Is by Emmer
ich Kalman and has all the passionate
fire. Joyous, piquant melodies and
varlouB danch music characteristics
' of Hungarian compositions. The song
hits "Love Has Wings." "Softly
Through the Summer Night," "Love's
Own Sweet Song," "My Faithful
Stradivari" and the rollicking, eccen
tric dance, "The Hazaxaa," became
Instantly popular on the operetta's

production both in Europe and New
York. Mr. Savage has civen to the
operetta a lavish setting, the Hungar
ian costumes in the first act forming
a riot of blending color combinations.
The sensational "ahead-of-the-mod-els"
gowns in the Parisian ball room
setting are the extreme limit of the
modiste's, daring in design and strik
ing color combinations.
Autoists Make
Publicity Tour
In a big blue touring car, driven
by the owner, A. V. Nye of Vancou
ver, B. C, five prominent good roads
and motor car enthusiasts of British
Columbia passed through Ashland
Sunday of last week bound for San
Francisco and the exposition.
The party stopped several hours in
Ashland and were much enraptured
with the beauties of the park and the
city. The roads of the valley were
most highly praised and Jackson
county may be assured of a good
boost from the Canadians. The trip
from Medford to Ashland was made
In seventeen minutes. The party left
about 4 o'clock and expected to make
Shasta Springs that night.
The motorists are making the trip
to advertise Vancouver and British
Columbia cities and spread abroad
among eastern motorists and else
where the attractions of a motor trip
over the Pacific highway as far north
'as Vancouver. Those In the party
are A. F. Nye of Vancouver, S. B.
i Buchanan of Westminster, H. A.
Fremlln of the Vancouver Automo
bile Club, H. G. Miilligan-of the mil
'nlclpality of Point Gray, and C.

Cantine Made Head
of Highway Work
By a resolution adopted Tuesday,
the Oregon highway commission de
posed State Engineer John H. Lewis
as state highway engineer and put
his chief deputy, E. I. Cantine, in
charge of all highway work save that
initiated prior to May 22. State
Treasurer Thomas B. Kay introduced
the resolution, which was supported
by Governor James Wlthycombe and
opposed by Secretary of State Ben W.
Olcott.
The resolution came as a climax to
a controversy as to whether State
Engineer Lewis or his chief deputy
has highway engineer under a law
passed by the last legislature, merg
ing the office of highway engineer
with that of state engineer.

Railroads Will
Spend Millions
Two separate Oregon railroads an
nounced new development projects
last week. Work will be started at
once and will mean the expenditure
of several million dollars. There is
now more work going forward and
being planned for this year in rail
road development in Oregon than in
any other state in the Union. The
new projects announced last week
are as follows:
The Oregon-Washington Railway
& Navigation Company will build a
thirty-mile extension to its line re
cently completed from Vale to River
side, Ore. The extension from River
side will be westward to Crane Creek
Gap.
The Southern Pacific announced it
would electrify between Whlteson
and Corvallis, a distance of 43 miles,
as an extension of the electric unit
between Portland and Whlteson,
which until July 1 is known as the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern railway.
The work of the Oregon-Washington
Railway & Navigation Company
will cost $1,500,000 or more.
In southern Oregon several mil
lions will be spent in railroad work
during the year. The Grants Pass
municipal railroad, which was taken
over by the Twohy Interests, will be
extended into a heretofore undevel
oped country immensely rich in tim
ber, mining and agricultural re
sources. The city of Roseburg has voted a
$500,000 bond issue to build a rail
road to the Cascade forest, contin
gent upon which Kendall Brothers'
lumber interests will build a $2,000,
000 sawmill and engage in extensive
lumbering projects.
Landscape Artist
Is Here To-Day
Landscape Artist McLaren is here
today from San Francisco with plats
for the park and brings with him P.
H. Harris, who will remain here dur
ing the summer and personally super
vise the park work. Mr. Harris has
been Mr. McLaren's right hand man
on many big propositions and is a
man of great experience. Mr. Mc
Laren will run up occasionally from
San Francisco to watch over the
work.
In getting Mr. McLaren to take
charge of this work the springs com
mission has secured the best man on
the coast. Works of such magnitude
as the Panama-Pacific exposition
stand behind his reputation.
Architect F. C. Clark is also in the
city today making Investigations pre
liminary to drawing up plans for park
buildings.
