MAKING OREGON ATTRACTIVE.
(Editorial from Portland Telegram
of August 26.)
In the Ashland Tidings of August
19 there appears an interesting story
of public-spirited activity in the city
of Ashland that should serve as val
uable suggestion to other communi
ties in the state.
The Immediate environment of
Ashland is scenlcally attractive, and
In addition to that which pleases the
eye and soothes the senses, the coun
try thereabouts boats of a number of
mineral springs. The people of Ash
land and vicinity have used the wa
ters of these springs as if they were
an ordinary blessing, like the pure
air, the sunshine and the mountain
ncenery. Finally, were they imbued
with the desire and the resolve to
convert these mineral waters Into a
community asset which would en
hance the fame of Ashland in particu
lar and that of the Etate of Oregon in
a general way.
From the very first this enterprise
was undertaken as one of public and
not of private moment. It was made
the city's Job. The waters were to ;
be impounded and piped for the free
use of those who lived In Ashland, or
those who, by good fortune, should
be visitors there. Finns were formu
lated for that purpose and for simul
taneous creation of a park, which the
Ashland people say will be, when j
fully developed, the finest In the
Mate; the project was thoroughly
discussed In public; a vote was had j
and bonds were authorized In the
Bum of $175,000 to put it into effect. '
In the detail of the story as pub
lished in the Tidings we have assur
ance of this free mineral water serv
ice, and prospective glimpses of san
atoria and the beauties and pleasures
of a scenic park that all combined
ought to make that city famous from
coast to coast.
This Ashland enterprise is rather
an urgent reminder that there are al
most unlimited possibilities in public
and private capitalization of Oregon
scenery. The great natural value of
I this is already ours; but to make It
'available to those who are willing to
spend their money for the privilege
of a comfortable sojourn In a scenic
paradise is the task that, once
achieved, will help wondroutsly In the
development of the state.
Consider our own Columbia River
valley, and the scenic magnificence
of it that is adjacent to Portland!
Under present conditions the visitor
can only get a glimpse of the won
ders we have to show. The charm
of a magnificently varied landscape,
unexcelled on this continent and, as
we believe. In the world, can be at
present only partially disclosed and
at that it can be presented only as a
fleeting vision of delight.
In the White Mountains, from the
Franconia Notch, through the little
mountain villages of Franconia and
Bethlehem, around to the foot of
Mount Washington and through the
Crawford Notch, there is a succes
sion of parks, drives, trails and well
appointed, luxuriously maintained
hotels which help to make that en
tire region one of the most popular
play spots in the country. The bold
er contour, the greater variety and
the broader sweep of Oregon scenery
really belittle the scenic advantages
of the White Mountains- or the Adi
rondacks. We have all the facilities
for making this section the most
famous and the best patronized play
ground to be found anywhere. To
make the best of what we have we
should give play to our Imagination;
couple it in practical working part
nership with our public enterprise,
and it will not be long before Oregon
will be a successful bidder against
all the world with those who have
leisure and money for sight-seeing.
CHILI) LIKE IN VACATION.
For many weeks school children
long for their annual holiday. The
dream of the days when they shall
once more wander free from all re
straints. Yet, as a matter of fact,
many of them spend their time hang
ing around and asking their mothers
what they shall do next.
The lawless and irresponsible free
dom of vacation is a detriment to
many children. They become petu
lant if asked to give an hour a day
to little tasks for the family conven
ience. Yet they are able to take long
jaunts and play'lncessantly In the
sun. Children that seem perfectly
well and self-controlled in the regu
lar discipline of school term often
become irritable and nervous In vaca
tion, at a time when they are sup
posed to be receiving benefit from
outdoor life and mental relaxation.
It Is the opinion of educators and
social workers that the modern child
has too little to do. In modern town
Mfe there may be no task left for
them to perform. The custom of
regular vork seems to have gone out
of fashion. One child frets if re
quired to mow the lawn or sweep the
walks while the other children are
roaming the' streets. A high school
principal was speaking the other day
of the bad effects of the loafing
habit on the older children. He felt
it so keenly that he got the boys of
his school to agree to pay a fine of
five cents each time they were seen
loafing around the street corners by
a teacher. The assessment was paid
to the athletic association of the
school, so all felt good-natured about
it. It practically cured street loaf
ing by the boys of that school.
The trouble with the idea was that
it applied only on Saturdays and after
school during term time. During
summer vacation teachers scattered
and the young folks could hang
around the streets to their heart's
content. But parents may well con
sider the suggestion as a vacation
policy. A little regular work for
school pupils during vacation will of
ten save the younger children from
getting over-tired at strenuous play,
and will help prepare the older ones
for more serious responsibility later
on.
ASHLAND'S PLANS.
(Editorial from Oregonian, Thurs
day, August 6.)
The town of Ashland has already
attracted a great deal of pleasant no
tice for Its kindly feeling toward the
public. Perhaps It is the situation
of the place which inspires it with an
altruistic mind. The sheltering
mountains, the cool stream which
pervades and beautifies the city, the
fertile fields and productive orch
ards surrounding it, all conduce to
stimulate a gently humanitarian sen
timent in the population. The Ash
land Chautauqua was one of the earl
iest in the state and it was so charm
ingly housed that nobody who visited
it once ever failed to go again and
again. Then came that lovely little
park at the foot of the hill under the
Chautauqua grounds, where a hun
dred rills murmur and sing, where
flowers blossom in profusion aud the
trees wave their boughs in numerous
welcome. Now Ashland has votea
bonds to develop its mineral springs
jon a truly metropolitan scale. We
j understand that the enterprise is
'wholly municipal and for the public
;good. There will be a great sanitarl
j urn constructed, imposing drinking
i fountains will be erected and the
I park system will be greatly enlarged.
It is said that the new park will
include 51 acres, to be bought out
right by the town for that purpose.
Pretty well, this, for a place no larger
than Ashland. BuT the city is look
ing to the long future. It realizes
that the possession of wonderful nat
ural resources Insures it a permanent
patronage from the traveling public
and It is proceeding sanely and wisely
to meet prosperity halfway. The
park will be watered by the stream
from Mt. Ashland. It will contain
enchanting' playgrounds with spark
ling springs, many of them medicinal.
Of course there will be camping
grounds for motorists. The motor
travel will be an increasing asset for
Ashland every year. The whole of
southern Oregon is replete with inter
est for travelers. Crater Lake Is thus
far the best known of them all, but
many others are hardly less charm
ing, if not so grand. In time they
will all be made accessible and man
will do his part to help carry out na
ture's plain purpose of making south
ern Oregon a traveler's paradise.
We are glad to note that our for
mer townsman, M. C. Bressler, who
now lives at Springfield, Ore., is fore
most In having some of the plans of
the Ashland springs water commis
sion put into operation there. They
are agitating the establishment of an
up-to-date auto camp ground and
Bressler is in the van of the agita
tion. Evidently he has been convert
ed to progressivism. No doubt, after
another Ashland protester has kicked
himself out of town he, likewise, will
advocate many of the same plans for
warded by the Ashland commission
for his new location, notwithstanding
his mean and unjust insinuations now
against what the commission 13 at
tempting here.
