Hair Dressing Making Scalp Treatment for Appointment "The Love Hask" At Vining Tuesday Cleo Ridgley and Wallace Reid in "The Love Mask" come to the Vining Tuesday. On. account of the excep tional attraction a special matinee will be given at 2:30 p. m. A Pat lie Weekly Is also added to Tuesday's program. "The Love Mask" is a Lasky production and one of the best this noted producer has yet turned out. A western story an interweav ing of love, romance and extra thrill ing adventure just the kind every true Westerner likes. There Is presented Kate Kenner, the beautiful and heroic girl, who works and fights for her rights when left alone by the death of her parents In the mad rush for gold in the days of '49. Then there steps Into the picture a bandit "Silver Spurs" not a bloody-handed rogue, but a hand some and dashing young man whose daring holdups have dismayed the whole country, yet whose manners before ladles are above reproach. He knows the graceful way in which to snatch a kiss from the heroine, and smiles pleasantly when his face is slapped. He is also romantic enough to carry about with him a' glove dropped by the lady, but at the same time remains unregecerate to the very end. Against this villain is pitted the sheriff, oddly enough also strong and handsome, and while not successful In carrying out his threat of a sum mary hanging for the bandit, yet wins the love of the fair heroine. Incidentally, there are several good fight scenes, both with lists and with guns; a thrilling holdup or two, In which the girl takes part, disguised as "Silver Spurs;" and many other thrilling doings, one especially where the heroine proves her mettle by a spectacular leap from a tree to the top of a stage coach, after which she lines up the occupants and drives away, reins in one hand, revolver In the other. r.l: Peopl e's Forum What Ashland Xeeds. And that just as soon as possible, is an auto road to Mt. Ashland. The future will see many thousands of travelers bent on sight-seeing tours, camping in Lithia park. The travel has not begun to start yet, though no doubt we have all been surprised at the number of tourists this sea son. In Uie near future we will be much more surprised, for the great amount of autos In the United States, with the love and thirst for travel, the scenic beauties of the west will attract an immense throng. What shall we do with them? Already we have made a great Btrlde In the right direction, 1. e., park, auto camp and mineral waters. For the sake of Ashland's future we can not afford to let such great possibilities go by unheeded or be content to fold our arms or lose interest In her future welfare. No other city on the Pa cific coast has or can have such great possibilities. The United States gov ernment should become interested and be petitioned to make an appro priation for such a project that trav elers may view a scene the like of which is unequaled on the coast. The road to the top of Mt. Ashland alone would bring thousands to our city, since the European travel Is closed. Some friends of mine now doing the coast told me many thousands visited the Yosemite valley this year more than ordinarily, and that an other hotel must be built. We in Ashland are favored by having our scenic attractions so near us that hotel accommodations can be In the city. No use to add words of praise in behalf of the city's needs. We have the gem city of the coast, all lovers of the scenic beauties of the Rogue River valley, and have an eji single to the Interest of Ashland ip particular can not fall to appreciate the future needs of Ashland. And we should not stop with the road problem, but we should by all means have a bathing pool near the auto camp ground in Lithia park. Far dusty travelers nothing would lie more refreshing and appreciated. A few dressing rooms, bathing suits, etc., are also needed. All would gladly pay for a plunge. Such a thing is exceedingly necessary for the equipment of the auto camp ground, and the revenue would go a long way towards the upkeep of the park. Other things could be mentioned that would help add to the pleasure as well as profit. Can we not try and bring these things to a realiza tion by next season's travel, for it's bound to be heavy. Mt. Ashland alone would so advertise this place that our beautiful city would grow as never before and become the pop ular place it .deserves. MRS. L. E. READER. Twenty-Five Years Ago in Ashland (Taken from the files of the Tidings of August 14, 1S91.) A heavy rain and thunder storm occurred on last Friday evening. Sat urday was warm and pleasant.
