S. P. SUPPORT
Realization of the amount of pub
Hclty which the Southern Pacific
railroad Is giving Oregon's tourist
attractions Is brought vividly before
OS by a poster showing the covers
of the various books published dur
ing the year ending June 30, which
dealt exclusively with Oregon.
Of the twelve books, one covers
the Coos Bay country, one of the
Willamette valley loop, one of the
Tillamook beaches, one side trips
from Portland .one of Newport, one
of Oregon walnut growing and the
rest all deal wholly or in part with
the tourist attractions of the terri
tory contigent to Ashland.
'The Sacred Summit of the Sis-
kiyous," Is one of the latest book
lets published and is perhaps the
most artistic of all. Although the
name of the author is not given, the
little story In the booklet is real lit
erature, the Illustrations are well se
lected, and the make-up of the book
both artistic and unique.
To we who live so near to, and
know the Siskiyou summit the book
opens up a new meaning in the beau
ty and mystery of the "Sacred Sum
mit." The Indian legends of the
summit are woven into the compos!
tlon. Ashland is given a prominent
place in this booklet.
Crater Lake is another booklet
with beautiful illustrations and fin
ished literary attractiveness. The
legend of the lake Is retold and
word picture of it's beauties painted
which comes as near to describing
the greatest scenic wonder of the
West as does any description which
can be put Into words.
"Side Trips Along the Shasta
Route," "Wayside Notes of the Snas
ta Route," "Oregon Outdoors," "Sug
gestions for Side Trips," all give
Ashland a prominent place, and de
scribe fully the attractions which
Ashland has to offer the tourist.
Especially in the latest publlca
tions is Ashland given prominence
and the effect upon the attitude of
the Southern Pacific which the con-
sumation of the projects already
started has had, is plainly evident,
Ashland is many times fortunate
in gaining this whole-hearted sup
port of the great railroad company's
publicity department.
The Falrmount Erlck & Tile Com
pany of Eugene has secured the con
tract for the Roseburg federal build
ing and also for the new Roseburg
thigh school.
Summer Resort
At Elk Creek Opens
The Rogue Elk Resort, owned by
McDonald brothers, located about 35
miles from Medford on the Crater
Lake highway, at the mouth of Elk
creek, will be formally opened next
Saturday night with an elaborate en
tertainment. The resort is located
on a coo-acre ranch, fronting on
Rogue river.
The building Is of Colonial type,
with towering 26-foot columns and
represents an investment of $20,000.
The steps leading into the building
are the widest of any in Jackson
county. Within the house a com
plete lighting and water system has
been installed. In the large entrance
hall are two huge fireplaces weigh
ing 90 tons. A feature of the resort
will be an artistic exhibit of lands
capes, comprising Oregon's most fam
ous scenery.
W. G. McDonald, the proprietor,
and L. E. McDonald, the manager,
are contemplating building a suspen
sion bridge across the Rogue in the
naar future and parking 20 acres
for summer! cottages and a general
camp ground.

I spoke of its
sometimes combining forces with un
scrupulous producers and how they
worked their co-operative fraud.
It is only the very scum of the dis
reputable producers, however, that
will stoop to such petty larceny
crookedness, and, thanks be, there
are not enough of this stripe in the
business to nearly go around among
the Innumerable fake schools that
somehow continue to operate.
When unable to make connections
with outside concerns, which are act
ually manufacturing pictures, some
of the schools set up dummy produc
ing companies to serve the same pur
pose. A San Francisco girl who recently
wrote me had an experience to re
late, which most aptly illustrates this
procedure. In one of the dally pa-

In my last pers she read an advertisement for
"chat" I men- Inexperienced people to appear in a
tloned that, motion picture production. The
as the usual name of an alleged producing firm
thing, the was attached to the advertisement
fake school of and an office address given,
motion pic- The girl was one of the "screen
ture acting struck" family, and so hastened to
make application. She found the
waiting room crowded to suffocation,
but patiently waited the afternoon
through for her turn. It finally came
I and the "director," after scrutinizing
fer features pretentiously, very con
fidently told her that she was a re
markable type for pictures. He was,
Indeed, smitten with sorrow to think
that his cast was already filled and
he would consequently be unable to
use her in his next production. In
the production next to follow, how
ever, he hoped yes, was quite sure
that there would be an opening; and
in the meantime
"I advise that you take a course
in motion picture acting with Mrs.
Blank, who conducts a school in the
building just acVoss the street."
The girl rushed across the street
in her seventh heaven. She saw a
career and fame opening up directly
ahead of her.. She was at first heart
broken to find that the tuition fee
was fifty dollars. She had but thirty
In her savings account. Mrs. Blank,
however, was quite agreed with the
"director" that the girl's possibilities
were "simply amazing," and, rather
than see them cramped, she magnan
imously reduced the tuition to thirty.
The girl took the course, but the
"production next to follow" with the
man across the street never devel
oped. She then began to learn that
most of the other pupils In Mrs.
Blank's school had visited this same
man, that he had found their types,
like hers, unusual, had told them
also of the "production next to fol
low," and then directed them Mrs.
Blank. Finally "the cat was out of
the bag" the pretense of this di
rector to producing activities was all
sham. His only interest in motion
pictures was in the fake school,
which he, Instead of Mrs. Blank, real
ly owned. '

Walter Keene said: "I want to

B. C. Tabor says, "I am not a bet

Tuesday's Medford Sun said, "The
Sunday precipitation in Medford was
89 inches.!' After minimizing the
rainfall for so long in hopes of arous
ing the rtnehers to the need for ir
rigation, the reaction was bound to
come but this is hardly the species
called "healthy reaction." We
wouldn't Imagine it healthy living
in 89 inches of rain.

"pretty flowers alone will not make
a successful park, a warm-hearted

Corporal A. Bert Freeman, who
drills the awkward squad of the
"fussed" company C. A. C, says:
"We have a large number of green
recruits this' year and I look forward
to the loss of a good many skirmish
lines during our stay at Fort Stev -

that "Yens," the Janitor at the high
school, ransacked the fifty or more
lockers in the boys' dressing room
looking for the "key to the pitcher's
box" which some bright lad had sent j
him after.
The ever popular subject of light
occupations became the subject of
discussion over in Hosier's cigar store
the other evening. Chi Pierson said:
"My idea of a light occupation is
looking t for hair on a letterhead.",
Bill Penniston remarked: "Raising
clay pigeons is the easiest kind of
way making a living I know of." E. !
N. Butler sprung the old one about j

Otto Dorrier, who was hired by the J
park board, arrested, cussed and dis
cussed, fired, euolgized and damned,
putting in a lively stay in Ashland,
told us his life history as the basis
for an article which would have been
printed had not certain events trans
pired, and in speaking of his birth
place said: "I was born in Germany,
of French Hugenot parents." We
asked him If that did not make him
neutral, he replying, "I am most
neutral, in fact, perhaps the only
man in Ashland who really is neu
tral." A certain young lady tells us,
"nobody loves a neutral," which per
haps accounts for the treatment
which Dorrier seems to have received
from all sides.

Grape-Nuts
Blended with prime, whole wheat, there re

Full of sterling nutrition, Grape-Nuts food
is twice baked (about twenty hours) and ren

in about one hour.

honest to goodness mustaches remain,
although a few of the young bloods

Into something serious if cultivated
for a few years. To this writing
neither Mr. I'ssher nor Mr. Banta
have succumbed to the severe cold
which It seems nature would bestow
after such a risky course of preced
ure. Mr. Banta says he is not taking
any chances and put on woolen socks
as a sort of measure of equalization.
