"The Winged Idol" presents a star almost unknown on the Vlnlng screen. Katherlne Kaelred is one of the "vampire type" and Is hailed as a sensation. She assumes the role of the Russian seeress who is taken up by the fashionable people of New York, saves a millionaire who Is "go ing the pace," and by her hypnotic wiles produces a scries of situations which hold the audience tense from title to finis.

The barber shop will be a model of sanitary cleanliness with new equipment throughout, Every jiog ibla "big city" feature Is being added which will lend attractiveness to the hotel. On the first floor all of the front rooms have baths and lavatories. The room which was formerly the ladles' parlor has been divided into a suite of three rooms and a bath which will be the "bridal suite." There are 13 rooms with private baths on the lower floor. Several baths and toilets have been Installed on each floor and hot and cold water piped into every room. All of the rooms have been redecor ated and will be refurnished through out with new furniture. Great bales of new linen, table cloths, napkins, and so forth have arrived. The dining room will be rearrang ed, the exact plans for the room not having been decided upon as yet, this being left to the last. The kitchens have already been brought up to the highest standard of effi ciency and standard sanitary require ments. A goodly portion of the archltect ual changes in the building were concleved and planned by Manager Dobbins and the artistic effect which the colonnade, unfinished as It now is, promises to stands as a monument to his ability along this line. At the Monday evening meeting of the Commercial Club a committee consisting of Messrs. F. F. Whittle, W. E. Neweombe and Clark Bush was appointed to co-operate In the ar rangements for the opening of the J hotel.

The writer was therewhen It was built. The ladies did it. That is, provided the money. The city gave thcin permission to build a rest room in the city park, so they went to work. Instead of beautifying tho va cant lots owned by the S. P., the Civic Improvement Club raised money to buy lumber with which to build a resting place for themselves and outside sisters. All the money making devices known to women j were brought Into play and the; i money was secured. A building con taining a good-s'zed resting room, a small kitchen and pantry, and anoth er room containing lavatory and j toilet were on the first floor; second j floor contained one sleeping room and a sitting room for the caretaker.

The subjoined letter, founded on literal matter of fact, has been gra ciously written for the lounger read- j but relieved just as soon as I remem ers of the Ashland Tidings, who will ber that we are suffering mortals all be delighted to learn that little some less and some more and chicks know "a heap" as well as that our end, whether we like it or some of the more intelligent bipeds not, comes sooner or later and not In life. This Ashland chick, Master M. C. Stevens, of Detroit, Mich., and Professor H. G. Gilmore (grandfath er of the said M. C. Stevens) are the three personages figuring in this lit tle "movey." May Ashland boys and girls ponder over, and profit by, "Billy's" commendable effort to set the world ablaze and score a point in the Interest of happy and wide awake chlckendom: "Chicken Ranch, Scenic Drive, "Ashland, Ore. March 31. "To Mark Chancellor Stevens, 57 ' Garfield Ave., Detroit, Mich. "Dear Fellow Young Roostor; I'm only a little chick named 'Billy,' five months old, and belong to a brood of Orpingtons thoroughbreds eight brothers and sisters, of whom I am very proud, as also your grand father who feeds us, twice a day, with the very best wheat in the mar ket and the crumbs and leavings 'that come from the rich man's table.' We had, I am proud to say, the best of mothers. Mother strayed away and when the nest was discovered by your grandmother she had four teen eggs and an apple under her, and in a few days she brought us all to life, and I am the youngest of them all. Two of my brothers, one evening, hopped Into the little drink ing trough and were drowned, poor things! ' while we were comfortably nestled under dear mother's out stretched wings. Others of the fam ily have dropped off, from time to time, but the nine of us now left are a happy race; can scratch well for a living are (Including my worthy self) well mannered, and, as chicken W goes, have each received a liberal education. I have learnt, since I be- always l,n the manner we would most prefer. I think, though, if I am a rooster I shall see long days, for your good-natured grandfather favors me considerably. I get between his legs when he is feeding the entire family and he drops, Blyly, choice morsels, now and then, to me that the others fall to get. Was there ever so kind a grandfather to a little chick who deserves all he gets in this grovling and time-serving world. I possess a grateful spirit, I am thankful to say. "I must tell you a little story, now, about Grandmother Heney a thor oughbred Leghorn who has laid many eggs and who, although belong ing to the opposite sex, is unmistak ably 'cock of the walk.' She keeps us all at arm's length whenever there is anything good to eat. The other day your grandma threw out a mouse just caught in a trap for 'Darkey' a neighbor's cat but Mistress 'Heney' arrived . first upon the scene and made short work of mousey. The mouse stuqk so badly in 'Heney's' throat that suffocation set in and it was only by your grandpa's timely appearance upon the scene that the mouse was extracted by the thin end of Its tail and, soused with water, Cock of the Walk' was given an op portunity to once more go on its way rejoicing, which it did Just as soon as Its breathing apparatus showed an Inclination to resume Its norma' operations. Surely 'Heney' will steer clear of too much mousing In the future. 'Enough Is as good as a feast,' 365 days In the year, for any chicken.
