People's Forum What a Cattf ornian Has. to Ray About Ashufnd Its PuMt, Present and Future. Interesting indeed; from every point of view, la the following tatter received! by Prof. H. C. Gllmore from a correspondent (G. F. W.) who be lieves that, with tho necessary push and energy as one united body on the part of Ashlunders the coming season, there can bo no sort of fail ure in establishing tho fact that, In many particulars, our city is on the highroad of becoming a second Carls bad. With Hthla for everybody, free auto camps for tourists, water most refreshingly pure and sparkling, scenery the most enchanting, ozone as unlimited as it la vivifying, and good highroads (Pacific or other wise), can anything but success be nailed to our civic banner as It floats irnllv in tho t.roze In our beautiful Llthla Park? "We have r, few things saved from our San Francisco exposition the California nuiiaing wnicn nuer irns recent rain and wind storms Is falling- h k . d zcn iacPSi allowing water to dHp.ll over the fin hardwood floors. The only thing left I of the exposition that Is any way : creditable Is tho Oregon building, and that Is as sound rs a dollar. The flag-pole, of Oregon pino. still stands proudly with Its hundreds of feet of i elevation, a innnmaric mm jiuai j 'or that pass by by land or sea, and tho Palace of Fluo Arts Is as beautiful In it3 location and preserva tion as one would wish to see. The organ Is &t the civic auditorium near the city hall, but. we have not given it a hearing, as work Is not complete. They want to appoint an official or ganist, I understand, first, so that someone will bo responsible for Its handling. "As you recently sent a reverend gentleman down hero from Oregon to assist in reforming San Francisco, I hope that a few suggestions as to the reforming cf 'part' of Oregon will not be amiss. What, may I ask, are your people doing towards co-operating in l. 11 n T 9 In Poll- fornla, for somo months past, the public schools have been Interesting tab'.es and offering prizes for the mnst ntircofisfiil in that line. It has ' portant part of their education. f they can well afford to disregard tho segregation of Gaul 'in tres partes land numerous other tlme-honnred ! traditions, and devote some attention .Amorica first . Before the prPg. lent beautiful park was arranged at Ashland, there stood (perhaps you Lav recollect), at its rjresent en- f th pnzn , ge three. storied flouring mill, kept by a wor thy gentleman named W. J. Virgin. I think that he was almost the last I run a mill, and he told me that less -.- - " III man iweniy years BKo ii..erB . .ivinon rimii-w miiia in thu valley. And, by the way, perhaps even you, too, know that originally the name of 'Ashland the Beautiful' was Ashland Mills? Settled by old timers near the creek so that wheat could be ground for food. It discard ed the mill when no more wheat was raised In the valley, and by that timo I guess most of the other mills had also closed their doors. And so, no grain being raised, what IS raised on the hind formerly farmed? Or chards roqulro no farm house, horse or barn, aiid one can not go around the valley now, as wo used to do, and glean up from under the barns, where the wheat was sacked, enough to feed chickens for half a year. Per hr.ps they raise lots of potatoes now; if so, that's good, hut there's yet lots of waste ground. Even if the land was played out for wheat, why not cut some trees and find new ground able property of the city, to pay the like was originally done? Maybe the 'semi-annual interest falling due for , ai . .i . ii it v. said year, and for every year therenf- land Is too high-of course I it. No I R ,ke plot of mere ground 209 feet square lpv,yi unt al, of g(l)d nomI, and the is worth more than $200 an acre on, interest thereon, are fully paid. It . l i.t.

If we are going to pull off this war with Germany that so many talk of, we must be able to feed our peoplo. Australia sent 10,000 tons of wheat to San Francisco In ono ship, Just unloading hero. Can't hope for that relief In war times, although we are raising Immense quantities of rice here in California right now. State department says potatoes figure 250 food solids, rice 880, and wheat and barley somewhere over 900 with 1,000 ns a standard. SICe is bound to go up In a very few days.
