VITALIZE OUR RESORT. It is Important that the resort en terprise be vitalized this summer. It would not be a bad Idea If the Com mercial Club dues be raised to two dollars a month instead of one. Every citizen can well afford to con tribute Hiberally this year not to keep the Commercial Club alive, but to furnish it sinews to do some real con structve work along resort lines. If Ashland will put all of her energy, ingenuity and as much of her tax money as can be possibly spared Into forwarding the resort enterprise, she will be astonished at the quick re sults. Th population of Ashmnd can be made to double within the coming twoi've months. People are onw com ing to town every day, looking It over.. Some of them are now Invest ing and many others wMl invest. There will be a demand for furnished cottages this year that can not be supplied. Ashland already Is evinc ing a new zip. The Hyiu Hehe and Roundup will be much better than last year, and It may be confidently twelvemonths. People are now com expected that the celebration a!oi:e wHl leave as much money In town as the whole enterprise so far has cost. It will pay to center on this enter prise and vitalize It to Its utmost this year. mmKt:?ttamtwtwtHtt8m8tnnn Heard and Overheard About two-thirds of the delightful girl stars worshipped by the screen fans are married, according to sU- i tlstics prepared by a motion picture magazine.

Ashland, Ore., Monday, May 7, 1017 A CONVENTION CITY. With the new Chautauqua audU torittm completed Ashland should be made the convention city of southern Oregon. The Chautauqua building will be the beet adapted in southern fh-penn for the Durnose. Ashland - o presents the most charming setting and, besides, many associations will te glad to come here for a convention to try the mineral waters and view our matchless park. We should go after every convent'on to be held In this state next year. If Ashland sue ceeds best In her resort ambitions it will need to have something doing every minute during the summer sea' son, not only for the benefit that will come directly from the conventions, but Ashland wl'l have numerous fam Hies here for health and recreation and we need the crowds In town for the'r pleasure. There will be some coBt to handling these conventions liut tho cost will be well justified by the benefits'. The city does not nee essarlly need to prepare great ban quets for each convention, but a sim ple entertainment will please and suf fice. The Commercial Club can han dle the conventions with little addod expense Let's make Ashland a con tention city. MUSIC IN'LITHIA PARK. There should be three band con certs a week In Llthla Park this Bea- Mark Daniels, who Is now figuring with the council and Commercial Club committee, is a man of large experience and accomplishment. He proposes a sanitarium to cost not less than $60,000 and a new tourist hotel to cost not less than $90,000. Mr. Daniels Is not a hot-air merchant, nor Is he given Jo talking through his hat He has been supplied with contour maps of several prospective sites and is now engaged In preparing prellml nary sketches for the buildings. No doubt he will soon have a definite proposition to make to the city where by the sanitarium and new note! will become an accomplished fact. These are now the things needed to assure the success ot the enterprise. Not only the committee, but every citizen should be Intensely Interested in th's project. It means so much to Ashland. With these In operation Ashland will at once step Into proml nence as a resort city and her ad vancement will be magical. We say "magical" advisedly. We have seen It done before on half the natural resources. In fact, no city ever had more to build permanently on. Our scenery and mineral water are tre mendous assets, great enough to buifld a city of at least fifty thousand on The tourist crop, where the cllm ate and natural setting are right, as they are here, will prove of greater cash money value than all the other crops In the Rogue River valley. will pay big to cultivate it at consid erable expense. It costs money to mature any crop, 't will cost less to mature a profitable tourist crop for Ashfand than any other crop that can be fostered. on the lot. By the Way.

The newspaper associations of the conn try have determined that all obituary notices should bo charged for at one half the commercial rate, and are now making charges on that basis. The Tidings' rate for these notices will henceforth be 2 cents the line.
