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.

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.

Mark Daniels, who Is now figuring
with the council and Commercial

than $60,000 and a new tourist hotel
to cost not less than $90,000. Mr.
Daniels Is not a hot-air merchant, nor

He has been supplied with contour
maps of several prospective sites and
is now engaged In preparing prellml

doubt he will soon have a definite
proposition to make to the city where

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

Obituary notices have certain news
value to a newspaper, but are not of
interest enough to the reading public
to Justify their free publication. The
newspaper associations of the conn

notices should bo charged for at one

making charges on that basis. The

henceforth be 2 cents the line.
