"We are captivated with Ashland. It nestles in a beautiful valley be tween two high mountain ranges, and it is indeed a veritable 'Happy Valley..' They have more 'hustle' and push and 'boost' to the square foot than any town ot its size I have ever been In. It has a population ot only five or bIx thousand, a boule vard system that is a joy to traverse, public drinking fountains throughout the city and one of the most charm ing parlis I know anything about. This park is the Chautauqua grounds and is delightfully adapted to Chau tauqua needs. It is a wooded can yon with the finest mountain stream imaginable flowing through it, clear as crystal and icily cool, coming as it docs from the snows ot Mount Ash land some twelve or fourteen miles nwuy. "This park extends a mile or two tip the canyon, and to show the spirit of Ashland people, they have voted $175,000 bonds to improve and beau tify this park and make roadways along the mountain sides. "They have made a'free auto camp grounds a mile ui the canyon, be- A WORD FOR MOTHERS It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg lect their aches and pains and suffer la silence this only leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life.

They have run electric wires, lighting the canyon from the city to the camp grounds, they have bullded a dozen or more rustic bridges across the stream, rustic seats, lunching tables, cool and shady walks and retreats. "For the benefit of those auto campers they have builded a hand some kitchen and dining room with family lockers, stove and sink, elec tric lighted this is put at the dis posal of all who may care to use it. Springs of crystal water, sulphur springs, soda springs, lithla springs, abound. "On either side of town there are large sign cards bearing on the far ther side these words: 'Ashland wel comes you. Free auto camp. Speed twelve miles an hour. Cover your mufflers.' It is a little thing, but to the innumerable tourists who go through the town it looks good and they appreciate it. Ashland also has a handsome high school of the mis sion style but complete In every de tail, including gymnasium and large stage for theatricals. "We were indebted to V. 0. N. Smith for a thirty-mile auto drive to the summit of the Siskiyou range of mountains. Jackson county has spent $180,000 and the state ot Ore gon Is spending $50,000 a year for lour years on this roadway over the mountains into California, which is only fifteen miles away. It is a won derful roadway and has many thrills for the autolBt, especially to one who has been a denizen ot the prairies all of his life. "It required us two hours to make the drive to the summit, from which we had a magnificent view of Mt. Shasta in all her snowy glory fifty miles away. The road is being built by the best engineering skill and the roadway winds around the moun tains, looping back and forth on the 3 per cent grade. "This summit is the highest point of the Southern Pacific railroad on the Shasta route and to reach the summit three great mountain en gines are required for each passen ger train and five engines for freights."

Editor Tidings: It is difficult to make an ideal cemetery out of an old one that was not established along modern methods. Yet nearly all cem eteries have possibilities for beauty, yet the longer they remain under present conditions, the money will be wasted from time to time in the cost of care. With the present meth ods of care the cost is considerable, and the expense and labor wasted. The greatest expense consists of car ing for each individual lot. Where there are monuments, headstones, footstones, coping and fences to in terfere with the work, each lot be comes a separate job. But with the headstones even with the ground and without coping, fences and footstones, there are only monuments to mow around, and this simplifies the work. Thus the cemetery can be cared for as a whole and not as individual lots. What is most needed is general overhauling, not simply a cleaning up, such as raking up the dead grass, weeds and leaves, which our ceme teries get each spring. By a general overhauling is meant to do away with all unnecessary obstacle and put the grounds strictly on the park plan. Everything must be (.'one to simplify matterE. In simplicity ?s beauty an 1 economy. All useloss mnu-rials, suct as crockery, glassware, stones, sholis and, lust but not lea't old tin cars and any other obstacle which causes extra labor in caring for the grounds. There are no serious problems in do ing this, but the work must be done thoroughly. Such a thorough over hauling does not cost more than the expense of on year's care on the old plan. Any superintendent who has practical ideas, and knows what should be done to get away from the old conditions, can accomplish much in the beautifying of the cemetery. First Remove all fences and hedges from around lots. Second If there are copings, eith er remove them or lower them level with the natural surface of the ground, so that the lawnmower will pass over them. Third If the graves, or any of them, have been mounded up, level them to an even surface. Fourth If the walks are lower than the lots, haul dirt on to bring them up the the grade cf the lots. If any lots are high, reduce them to the natural grade. If this can not' be done on account of the monument foundations, then lower the founda tions. If a lot is on a side hill and has been made level, grade it down to the natural slope of the hill. Fifth Remove all footstones. Sixth For graves marked with wooden slabs substitute simple mark ers of stone. Seventh Have the lot markers and all other markers even with the ground to allow the lawnmower to pass over them. Eighth Have all walks even with the lots and seeded with grass. Ninth Allow no planting on the graves. Do not allow evergreens or any other shrubs or bushes to be planted on the corner of lots. "But the lot owners won't allow this." Of course they won't, because they have heretofore been taking care of their own lots. They have arranged their lots as they are through a natural desire to do something, and they knew ot no other way, and there was no one to Instruct them to get out ot the old ruts and accomplish some more up-to-date plan. There Is need of a revival, or the spreading of the gospel of simplicity among the lot owners of our cemeteries. The condition of our cemeteries is a burning shame. The mistakes of the past are dally repeated, and such neglect Is a disgrace to any self-re specting community. Let us have "God's acre beautiful." City author ities and influential citizens desirous of doing good to the community can do no nobler work than to overhaul those cemeteries so long neglected. S. PENNISTON. (To be continued.)
