ASHLAND TTDIXGS Thursday, Auguwt 10, 1918 PAGE SIX Ashland's Plan of ' Civic Development (By Morris J. Duryea, in the Oregon Grander Bulletin.) It is a common practice for munici palities to bond themselves for civic Improvement and to provide funds for sites an.' bonuses to induce new industries locate within the city. Seldom, If ever, hag a city bonded itself for the purpose of changing the entire course of its history and mak ing itself over Into a new kind of town. A city in the southern part of Oregon, the cily of Ashland, is the first city in the country, it is be lieved, to do this remarkable thing. The interesting feature of what is being done by this Oregon city is the incidental development of a great j natural resource of the Btate itself. The people of Oregon have been too busy thinking about their rich heritage in the way of millions of system and at the Southern Pacific station grounds, where they may be used, free of cost, by all who desire to do so. One of the proposed fea tures connected with the springs de velopment is the erection of a mod- ;ern, up-to-aate sanitarium, wnere the visitor in search of health may have the benefit of the most scientific methods of water treatment. Realizing that a greater per cent of visitors to a resort city come for pleasure and recreation than to take the water cures, the most comprehen sive plans for providing for them have been worked out. Fifty-one acres of ground have been bought to be used in creating one of the most beautiful parks in America. Thou sands of dollars will be spent in the construction of drives and walks in i this park. One of the attractive fea tures of this park Is the beautiful stream of clear, cold water that conies rolling and tumbling down from the snow-clad top of Mt. Ash land. Along its banks will be placed Tourists Who Have Camped In The Park ! canto tt'hnfn lmnn ...V. ncres of fertile soil, billions of feet of .

C00'. water' that Just coax Iittle grounds for the children, full of all sorts of things that please and delight the hearts of youngsters, and pools of scenery and abundance of healing waters. Tons of literature, proclaim ing the advantages the state ' pos sesses for the homeseeker and in vestor have been sent broadcast over the world. Only in the past few years i have we begun to lay much stress on the advantages the state offers the tourist and sightsjirr, and to set forth in our literatui Wthe fact that Oregon is the peer and equal of any state in the Union in the variety and grandeur of its scenic attractions. We are coming to a realization that we have in our scenic attractions as sets that have a commercial value, suspectible of being turned into a tremendous source of revenue. We need the homeseeker and investor, and must continue every legitimate effort to bring them to Oregon, yet we must not lose sight of the tourist and his potential possibilities as ex pressed in dollars and cents to us. This being true, any attempt to prop erly exploit our natural resources in the way of attractions for the visit or and sojourner is of Interest to the people of all parts of the state, hence the story of a unique development of this kind that is going on in the southern part of the state will prove J interesting to the readers of the Ore gon Grange Bulletin. In almost every part of the state may be found mineral springs, more or less developed and utilized. Prob ably in no part of the state are they as numerous as In the southern part, in the vicinity of the city of Ashland. In and about the city of Ashland are many valuable lithla, soda and sul phur springs. These have been in use for many years, but no attempt has been made to develop them on a large scale. The people of Ashland have not, until about two years ago, given serious thought to these springs I as factors in the future growth and progress of the city. More thought 8 given to fruit raising and gelling real estate than to these natural gifts that are so valuable not only to the city but to the people of the whole state. About two years ago a move ment was started to develop and make use of them, and at the pres ent time a project is under way that will create in southern Oregon a won derful playground. The citizens of Ashland have voted for and authorized a bond issue of 1175,000 to be lined in carrying out a well planned scheme of developing the springs and beautifying a fine park system. A contract has ben made, at a cost of $100,000, with a firm of engineers to develop mineral springs that have been acquired for the city and pipe the water Into town. These engineers are under a bond of $50,000 to deliver the water in the city in unimpaired condition. Twenty-one miles of three and four Inch pipe will be required to carry the water. The plant when completed will have a capacity of 150,000 gal lons a day. Lithla, soda and sulphur waters will be distributed in the park Fire Insurance Does Not Prevent FI1E But protects you against a catastro phe that strikes ONE INSURED MAN OUT OF THIRTY.

A great bandstand, where one can hear the best of music at daily concerts, and a pavilion with a fine floor, where the strains of the orchestra will not permit ones feet to keep still, will provide amusement for older folks. The touring motorist will find a campground furnished for his pleas ure and comfort. Gas to cook with, storage places for food, an abund ance of cold drinking water, gush' ing out of a beautiful spring In the hillside, and all needed sanitary con veniences will tempt him to lengthen his stay amid these pleasant surroundings. scattered all over the park are springs of mineral waters and pure drinking water. Oregon can never go dry In Ashland Lithla Park, and the most excruciating thirst can be assuaged in copious draughts of these healthful and palatable waters. Just as Balvatlon is said to be free, so here health can claim the same distinction, for those who will par take freely of this bounteous store of Nature's medicinal waters will find a panacea for bodily ills and discom forts, without money and without price. Those who are on pleasure bent will find enjoyment in the scenic wonders that southern Oregon is so rich in. Crater Lake, one of the wonders of the world; Josephine Caves, Ashland Canyon, Klamath Lake and innumerable other inter esting places are accessible from Ash land. The great paved boulevard that Jackson county has built at a cost of half a million dollars will bring everlasting delight to the mo torist, and, as he glides swiftly over its smooth surface, he will feast his eyes and soul on the rare charm of the vista of orchards, green fields and distant hills ' that make the Rogue River valley a close compet itor to the Garden of Eden. This little city of southern Oregon Is changing its history, turning over a page in the story of Its progress, and In building for Itself a new and better plan of activity as a resort city Is making a pleasure spot for the people of all Oregon. Helping Itself, it Is helping to exploit Oregon's at tractions for the tourist and is set ting the pace for the rest of the state in bringing about a greater and wiser utilization of the natural gifts with which we have been so richly blessed Ashland Is said to be the first city in the country to undertake this kind of a civic improvement In just this way. Surely it is an interesting de velopment of some of the state's nat ural assets, well worth the knowl edge and attention of the citizens of Oregon. The quick way to Klamath Falls Howard's Auto Line.

The automoblllsU who make the Ashland camp a. stopping place are constantly increasing In numbers. In fact, the news of the camp is so wide ly circulated by autoists who camp here that all who arrive In Ashland within several hours of evening usu ally camp. The register which is placed in the artistic cook-house al ready contains the names of several hundred tourists. While many for get to register, the majority place their names and home city on the book and find considerable pleasure In looking through it for friends or acquaintances whom they may have met upon the road. The Tidings will publish in each issue the list of those tourists who have registered during the past three or four days. Look over the list for friends from home.

Bryan, government ex pert, in an article in the February Issue of the Journal of the American Society of Naval Enginers says: "Carbon may exist in a motor oil In two forms: First, as free carbon held In suspension, and, second, In combination with hydrogen, forming the numerous hydrocarbon com pounds which go to make up the oil. The amount of free carbon in a ye'l refined oil is very small, and the ob jectionable carbon deposit is gener ally due to some other factor. "The conditions attained In the cylinder of Internal combustion en glues that result in the formation of carbon are: First, high temperature, and, second, a limited supply of oxy gen (air). Preferences have been made to oil 'burning.' This term has been used ratherNoosely, as, strictly speaking, 'burning' means the com bining of the vftpors from the oil with the oxygen of the air, and does not Include simple vaporization of the oil. Unless air Is present In ex cess of that required for the combus tion of the gasoline or fuel oil, and usually it is not, the oil can not real ly burn. Under the intense heat however, the inner surface of the oil film will be vigorously affected, and, In the absence of the air necessary for burning, three things may happen: "Case 1. The compounds may vol- atlze with decomposition. Case 2. The compounds may de compose with the .formation of free carbon and hydrogen. Case 3. The compounds may de compose with the formation of other hydrocarbon compounds of a differ ent nature. The products formed in case 1 give no trouble, as being gaseous they are carried out with the ex haust, whether burned or not. Of the products formed under case 2, the hydrogen would pass out of the exhaust, whether burned or not. The carbon may be blown out with the gases, or may remain in the cylinder. Whether or not it remained in the cylinder would depend greatly on the condition of the oil film on the cylin der walls. 'Some oils form a thick, viscous, gummy deposit, which re tains the carbon formed on its sur face and prevents it from being blown out through the exhaust. This gummy deposit gradually gets thicker and harder,-eventually forming the hard carbon deposit so well known in cylinders. "This gummy deposit is due to the action of the compounds- mentioned in case 3. The free carbon liberated in case 2 Is light and fluffy, and of Itself would not form the hard de posit. Where the compounds break up Into new compounds, however, some of the new compounds are vol atile, while others are heavier and more viscou3 than the original com pound. Continued action of the kind mentionel in case 3 will, therefore, result in the giadual thickening of the film, and the retention and ab sorption by the film of the carbon that is liberated will Increase this effect until, finally, a hard, brittle deposit results. "In the absence of any gummy de posit of this kind to cement the free carbon together, the latter will gen erally be blown out through the ex haust. The oil that will give the best results, then, is not necessarily the one that will form the least carbon, but the one that will form the least carbon In the cylinders. Oils made from asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves to be much better adapted to motor cylin ders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivities are concerned, than are the paraffine-base Pennsylvania oils."
