nated as "Clean-up"day thruout the
cltyi. Don't forget the date. Don't
fall to make preparation for it. The
city provides teams. ' They will call
for your garbage some time during

thing you can, then put the remain
der of garbage in boxes, bags or
barrels and have them located where
they can be easily reached, In the al
ley or in the street if there Is no
alley and by all means have It
ready for delivery early. Let us
make our city if possible the neatest,
cleanest and most beautiful city. We
have good reason to expect a very
prosperous year; the ground is well
soaked and tbe mountains are full
of" snow for summer Irrigation which
practically insures a bountiful har
vest. The paving of the Slsklyops
and the grading of the Pacific high
way to the foot of the mountains, al
so th grading of the road to Klam
ath county line, means a good deal
of work and a fine pay roll for Ash
land. Let's have our city present
able for the tourist travel which
commences soon.

$25,000 to be Raised
For Woman's B'Idg.
A campaign is opening in, Eugene
to raise $25,000 to aid tbe fund for
the construction of a $200,000 Wom
an's building on the campus of the
University. Of the $200,000, half
hag been appropriated by the state
legislature, to be available for use
in blocks of $25,000 as equal sums
are raised by outside subscriptions.
Tbe Eugene canvass Is in charge of
a committee appointed by the Cham
ber of Commer.ee. . ...
' In their appeal to the citizens for
funds In support of the project, the
committee points out that the enroll
ment of women In the University has
practically doubled In the last six
years, increasing from 284 in 1913,
to-550 this year. The gymnasium
used by these 550 yoing women
would be too small, it is declared, for
half that number; the building is
rapidly disintegrating, with Its floors
a mass of splinters and Its founda
tions rotting. This old gymnasium
was built for the men 38 years ago,
and when discarded by them, was
turned over to the women. The glfls
have no swimming pool of their own
and are forced to do all their swim
ming In the men's tank at narrowly
restricted hours, which greatly re
duce the opportunity for Its use.
The first $1,000 of Eugene's $25.-
000 has already been subscribed by
President and Mrs. P, L. Campbell
of the University. The second big
donation is one of $500 by VicR
Bothers, of Eugene and Salem. It Is
hoped to get the building under way
early in the summer and to completi
It liefore the end of the next college
year.
The campaign for, subscriptions
thruout the state will be conducted
In great part, by the State Federa
tion of Women's clubs, which has
committee at. work, headed by Mrs
Roy T. Bishop, of Pendleton.
Talent Soldier Has
Honorable Mention
Talent has a soldier who wqs
named among a number for showing
great courage and persistent devo
tion to duty In the advance thru Ar-
gonne Forest October 14. This 's
Ormy Goddard, son of Mr. and Mrs,
H. H. Goddard. These soldiers, num
bering twelve in all, participated In
the capture of 100 prisoners, and
tho greatly outnumbered fought
foarlessly and without regard to per
sonal danger.
This soldier Is a private first
class, No. 3,133,808. He was draft
ed In. June, 1918, and went to Camp
-ewls June 27. From there he was

New-York and to France. He was

vision of New York city, and went
on the Meuse-Argonne drive Septem-
ner zu. When tho armistice wan
signed he was at Sedan. '

Strikers Go Back at
Tacoma Shipyards
All Tacoma shipyards opened up
for work Tuesday morning at 8:00
o'clock, mostly with- less men than
went out on strake January 21. At
the Todd steel yard the men gather
ed in large numbers before the
gates, where extra; provisions ha!
been- made to register, every appli
cant under his former department
list. The Borylce men especially re
quired to put the large plant Into
operation were taken In at once and
the balance will be placed as the or
ganization In the yard proceeds. The
office and tbe larco hotel were again
filled with tho staffs necessary un
der present conditions. Three shifts
will be worked when the men and
the service details are arranged.
which may require several days.
The Seaborn, Wright and Babarai
plants, three wooden shipyards, rc-
suemd at the same hour, all" with
less men than heretofore because, It -was
stated, cancellation and recent
changes in specifications reducing
Ferris type ships to barges gave less
opportunity for construction work.
All the firms took back such men of
former crews as they could place,
and expect to fill In to requirements
within the next few days.
C. C. Moore ft Co., manufacturing
and installing mechanical equipment
for ships, resumed with about 125
men and expect to list a few more,
while the Paciflo Steel ft Boiler,

for every man who enters the plant.
