PAGE SIX ASHLAVD TIDINGS Thursday, August 17, 1010 '-;V"".rf V; JMMfc.ftl..i.'Sf.tV.;: J Hunters Should Clip This Out Mount Mclrtuulilin From Luke of the Woods Road. Road to Lake of tbe Woods Openfor Autos and Pelican Bay Next Goal Lake of the Woods Is now easily accessible from Ashland liy automo bile. A fund of 550 was sub scribed by Ashland citizens who real ized the valuable asset which an auto road to the lake would be and the road was put in shape so that automobiles can get over it with out trouble. The road gang, work ing under Jack True, is doing the work, continuing, after the road in Jackson county had been finished, to work, using the funds subscribed. The road will be ready for travel Sunday. Lake of the Woods is about 38 miles from Ashland, is the most charming camping spot in Southern Oregon. It Is ideal for swimming, the water being warm and a sloping beach gradually dropping from the ehore into deep water. Set among the very heart of the Cascade moun tains with the forests cjf fir and pine coming to the water's edge on every Bide, with old Mount McLoughlln rising majestically at one end, a more beautiful place to camp for a few days can not he imagined. Fishing in tho lake is becoming better every year and rainbow trout weighing up to four pounds have been caught in great numbers al ready this year. By next year fish ing in Lake of the Woods will be equal to any in this land of famous fishing streams and lakes. There ore two cr three boats on the lake. Abundant pasture Is found at either pnd of the lake, pure springs of cold water are everywhere. Mosquitos and flies are not bothersome during the months of July, August and Sep tember, and at no time as bad as at the Klamath lakes. Tlenty of wood is handy to several camps. During the huckleberry season sev eral hundred campers usually are to be found at Lake of the Woods, and with the opening of the auto road many more will no donbt gather on Its shores. At the far end of the lake from Ashland there Is a ranger's cabin where "Doc" Cambers of this city makes his headquarters and where information concerning trips to Four of speed the road should present no serious difficulties. The country through u1ile.li the road passes is a succession of wooded and open prair ies; after the summit of Dead Indian mountain is reached and presents a constantly changing panorama of for est and green meadows with magnifi cent views of Mount McLoughlln at every rise. Ranchers of the Fort Klamath sec tion have started a subscription list to raise a fund to improve the road from Lake of the Woods on through to Pelican Bay, a distance of about 12 miles, which is almost impassable for automobiles at present, En couraged by the manner In which the opening up of the Lake of the Woods road Is being accepted, additional funds will be subscribed In Ashland and an auto road through to Peli can Bay will no doubt be an accom plished fact by fall. This will con nect at Pelican Bay with the boule vard around Klamath lake, and will give Ashland an entrance to Crater lake. Autolsts recently returning from the Klamath country report that the road from Pelican Bay through to Crater lake is in better shape than the Rogue river road. Not oniy would this road tap a number of tourist assets for Ashland but it would open to Ashland the Fort Klamath country as tributary trade territory, principally for fruit. Even with the roads as they now are, several wagon loads of fruits have been taken over by this route. . But for the present access to Lake of the Woods by automobile Is as sured, and many parties will go from here to camp on the banks of the sparkling sheet of water which mir rors Mount McLoughlln. Season Free of Forest Fires The forest fire season will be over In just three weeks, but these three weeks are the most dangerous of all. As yet this year, Jackson county has had no really big forest fire and this Mile lake, Fish lake and many other j month has been remarkably free from points of Interest within a radius of fires of any kind. The two or three a few miles, may 1 obtained. CUmbhig Mount Mclaughlin is a feat which can be accomplished in a day from Lake of the Woods by ralus have kept the atmosphere cleat of smoke and haze and the summer has been delightful, offering south ern Oregon's best behavior for tourist the most ambitious and Is not a hard I visitors. Exceptional care should be two day's trip. Pelican Bay Is 12 miles further north. Deer are plentiful In the vicinity and as a headquarters for hunting trips back into the wilds, Lake of the Woods should become famous. Grouse and other game is also found near there. Under the new forest reserve laws a tract of ten acres may be- taken npor a summer home In the forest reserve, and no doubt many will take advantage of this within the next year or two, and build summer homes on Lake of the Woods. It is rumored that a company contem plates the erection of a summer ho tel there. Autolsts expecting to make the trip should not plan on making a 30j mile an hour speed all of the way but by traveling at a moderate rate taken by campers about fire this monfh. More campers are in the woods than at any time this summer. Put out the camp fire and don't throw away a burning cigar. Phone Job orders to the Tidings. IXTERURBAN AUTOCAR CO.

Sidelights' On Official Doings The mayor's desk, men s tables and the council- humble even the oilcloth-covered structure devoted to the uses of the journalists of the city were decorated with beautiful bou quets of flowers brought from the park by Superintendent Graves. The council weighed the merits of various adding machines and summed up the deficiencies, subtracted the difference in prices, and without any division of opinion decided to have satisfaction from the company which furnished the city an unsatisfactory machine, before the days multiplied into "weeks. Chief of P.olice Porter takes a fif teen days' layoff beginning yester day, and has given up the pursuit of hoboes for the pursuit of potato bugs out of his garden. Driver Paul Gulley of the fire de partment Is vacationing out at John son's Prairie. His brother Glen is holding down his chair in the fire fighting headquarters.' The chief oc cupation of the fire fighters has been catching flies lately, and about a quart of flies a day is averaged, wfilch Is several hundred per cent less than last year's record shows.
