Ashland, Ore., Thursday, May 10, '17 GOOD USE OF ROSES. One of the moBt pleasing effects In southern California are the roue hushes blooming along fence rows. Even along the country roads the tourist rides for long stretches be tween beautiful rose rows. .Not only do they cover the bare fence aspect bnt act as a sand break as well. .What a wonderful change planting of roses would make along the Par ciflc Highway continuously from Asbland to Medford. Many beautiful Improvements', such as new modern homes and fences, are being con structed this year. The adldtlonal xpense of setting rose bushes would not be great and would almost double the selling value of the property in two years. Tho county could well afford to cultivate the ground along the roadway between tho paving and the fences and plant It systematically to bright blooming wild flowers After the first planting they would take care of themselves. But It is especially Important that Ashland be made to look her sweet est. Thousands of tour'sts will visit Ashland each year, and the effect the first view of the town has on' them will In many cases determine whether they settle In Ashland or go on south where more care and pride are vlnced In fostering a happy civic life. Ashland can be transformed In two years by the planting of flowering shrubs and clinging vines over un sightly places. Every citizen owes a duty both to himself and his town to go to the extra expense and labor necessary to accomplish it. His property will Increase, and be salable, at more than five dollars to one so invested. ANOTHER ItIG SUCCESS. Again the unfail'ng success in thejr public undertaking has been demon strated by the.women of Ashland In the Auxiliary ball It was a decided success. The decorations are worthy of spec'al mention as they were more attractive than any previous attempt. The scheme was thoroughly patriotic, flags being displayed in profusion, covering almost the entire walls of the large Natatorium room. The pil lars and balcony were decorated with rreenery and wild flowers. The deco rating commltteo was composed of Men dames W. L. Maxey, F. B. Tracy, Benton Bowers, Nate Bates, Mon'e Erlggs, A. W. Boslough and Frank Crlsez. Tidings WHO 'HAS A FURNISHED HOUSE TO RENT? Lately a number of persons have called on the Tidings and asked about furnished houses. Some of theb have gone away because they did not find a furnished houso to suit them. The Tidings th'nks it is highly Im portant that such people find com fortable quarters and stay for the summer. It will be good for the town. Therefore, tho Tidings has decided to advertise all well-furnished houses for rent houses that are neat and clean, with good carpets, good cur tains, clean yard and general attrac tive appearance, from May 15 to June '30 without cost to the owner, .abso lutely free. There is an ad mnd.ir the big star In the Tidings for rent column today that will give you an Idea how to describe your house and furniture. . Rules governing the free adver tisement: Give location. Give number of rooms. State whether modern. If modern, whether tin tub or por celain. A modern house means bathroom with tub and stool in It. Otherwise partly modern. Tell the kind of carpets and what furniture It contains.. What rent do you ask per month? Wr'te the advertisement In such way that a person sitting In a hotel can tell what you offer and what It will cost wltuout looking at the house. That means to describe the house AS IT IS. Use as few words as you can In describing It, but de scribe it fully. All the Tidings asks Is that YOU OWN the house and that as soon as It Is rentetd, If It does rent before June 30, to call up phone 39 and ask us to take out the ad. Write your own ad and get your copy In to tho Tidings office as soon as possible. REMEMBER, IP YOU ARE THE OWNER THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THH ADVERTISE MENT. WILD FLOWERS ON THE HILT SIDES. What an advertisement it would bo what tremendous value would it add to the city what a pleasing at traction, if Ashland should invest about two or three hundred dollars in wild flower seeds and strew them on the side hills up the canyon and wherever waste side hill land is found. If the seeds were distributed in the proper season so they would become well establ'shed before the dry season set3 In, they would main' tain themselves after the first seed ing and continue blooming from year to year, a magnificent array of color and beauty to pleaso the sight and charm the senses of visitors. Such are the things that, count in building a pleasure resort. An annual wild flower picking event of some three days, in the proper season, would at tract thousands here every year, People like to live amidst such en vironment. Many visitors attracted here by tho gorgeous flower aspect would settle permanently; build mod' em homes, remodel old buildings and add generally to the delight and tax aine value of the city. Sometimes a little cash well spent pays a'thousand per cent In dividends. To strew wild flower seeds on tho hillsides looks to the Tidings liko a big dividend payer. Card of Thanks.

If each citizen should write letters to six acquaintances who live on the Pacific coast and who have automo biles, telling them about the Hytu Ilehe and Roundup and our splendid free automobilo camp ground, and ask them to make their outing trip here to attend the festivities on July 3, 4 and 5, the attendance would be Increased by at least five thousand. It would be worth five times the cost and effort. No doubt the Roundup committee would furnish citizens Ilylu Hehe and Roundup, stationery upon whkih to write the letters. Tell them about Crater Lake and all the nice camping places hereabouts. Make the trip look good to them. They will be pleased and Ashlnnd and every citizen here will profit from it. Will you do your share? State Insists on Full Measure Shipments of strawberr'es are be ing made In the state and the district sealer of weights .and measures calls attention to the law governing the sale of same. First, that the berries must be sold in standard boxes, In quantities up to and including a dry quart. Second, that the boxes must be well packed. The purchaser is en titled to a box ot berries well packed and level full. Last year the state office spent considerable time and money distrib uting about 6000 copies of the weight and measure laws, visiting the grow ing sections in the state, calling the attention of the merchants and grow ers to the law', and Insisting on the boxes being level full when sold to the consumer. The law is as follows: - The stand ard boxes or baskets used in the sale of strawberries', blackberries, Logan berries, raspberries or similar ber ries, shall be of the interior capacity of 67.2 cubic Inches (dry quart) or 33.6 cubic inches (dry pint) or 16.8 cubic Inches (dry one-half pint). And It shall be unlawful to offer or ex pose for sale or sell . strawberries, blackberries, Loganberries, raspber ries, or similar berries, In boxes or baskets of other than the standard size; provided, that nothing within this section shall be construed as in any way preventing the sale of straw berries, blackberries, Loganberries, raspberries, or similar berries, by the weight or In boxes or baskets of , greater capacity than 67.2 cubic Inches.

Redd'ng Searchlight, May 1st "A headl'ne In one of the upstate papers reads: 'Annette Kellerman displays! her versatility.' Annette, you have gone Just about far enough." It won't be many days until the fellow who greets you with "do you th'nk it will rain", will bo springing "is It hot enough for you."
