ASHLAND CLIMATE WITHOUT THE AID OF MEDICINE WILL CURE NINE ,CASE3, OUT OF TEN OF ASTHMA. . IDING VOL. XLIII ASHLAND. OREGON, TUESDAY, APRILS, 1919 NUMBER 19 AbhlaniI Three Days Victory Cel ebration July 3, 4 and 5 July 3, 4 and 5 will be tho three lils days tlil year. They will prove the three greatest days In the his tory of Ashland. H.wlll he a cele bration in honor of our heroes living and dead. The greatest display of fire works ever witnessed on the coast will be staged in Ashland's setting of wondrous beauty. The Round-up replete with new hair-raising stunts will be one of the main features, reinforced by hundreds of down-town entertainments for vis itors. , The 'executive committee of the Victory Week celebration met last night and canvassed the subscrip tions made to the celebration and memorial fund. The subscriptions totaled sixty-five hundred dollars. Owing to the demobilization of the army It was found impractical to de pend on camp and commissary equip ment from the War Department with which to feed and house visiting oldlers. At least fifty cents of each dollar collocted would have to be set aside for a memorial and with the funds on hand it was found not to be sufficient to carry Out the orig inal plan of entertaining returning soldiers and sailors and leave funds . enough to raise a suitable memorial, therefore it was unanimously voted by the executive committee to abandon the original plan and In vite the Commercial club to center its force on a great three days cele bration of the glorious Fourth in honor of the heroes of southern Ore gon. The subscription cards for the Victory week celebration will be turned over to a Commercial club committee who will return them.tf the subscribers and solicit funds for a general "Hi-yu, He-he" celebra tion. The Commercial club solicit ing committee will call on the Vic tory week donors the last of this week or the first of next, return their Victory subscriptions and give them an opporturftty to subscribe to a three days Victory celebration instead or the Victory week program which was outlined before the sub scriptions were made. It Is proposed by the Commercial club to make this yearfs celebration the greatest thing of the kind ever witnessed In a western city the size of Ashland. The Club will need about five thousand dollars to do It It will .be doubly worth the money to the city. Every property owner and citizen should be glad to sub scribe liberally to such a fund on return of hla Victory week subscrip tion card. The celebration will be held July 3, 4 and 5.

Ely, field worker for the Associated In dustries of Oregon, who was in the city last week. Mrs. Ely gave a lun cheon at the Hotel Austin to a num ber of the club women of Ashland Friday, and during the repast ex pressed her opinion on what she con sidered one of the most Important assets of Ashland's future. "Ash land has the most wonderful' possi bilities with Its mineral waters of any city or section of country in the state. Not only have you the various mineral waters of medicinal qualities right at your doors, but you have them brought to the -city and located in the most entrancing sorrpundings I have ever seen. "Ashland is like many other sec tions one runs, across, " Mrs. Ely further went on to say "It Is simply a realization of the Biblical state ment, 'A prophet is not without hon or, cave In hiB .own country.' If Ashland people could only realize what a park they have and what wonderful water they mave brought to.lt, nothing could keep this city from being the largest, health resort west of the Rockies. It has Saratoga beaten over and over again In its possibilities. If I lived here I would have a sanltorlum buBt here If I had to canvass the city for 25 cent sub scriptions." Alleged Highway . 4 Robbers in Jail Two men, -giving their names as Hill and Beer, were arrested on the Pacific highway near Yon call a. late Monday evening, when their auto be came stalled Iir- a mud hole. They had driven a Chevrolet car from Portland, which, it Is assumed by the officers, was stolen, and had started for Hornbrook for a load of liquor, according to their story.

Later this man appeared in Drain and laid his story beforte a deputy sheriff, and the latter set out in pur suit of the alleged highwaymen. The mud hole was the cause of their downfall, and now they are committed to the county Jail, await ing trial for highway robbery. The authorities In Portland1 have been advised of the license number, and in all probability the owner of the car will soon be located.

Ashland Creamery Entered By Thieves An attempt was made to break into the large safe in the Ashland Creamery last night by burglars, who foiled their admittance Into the vault by twisting off the combina tion knob and securing the door so thoroly that experts will be needed to open It. Entrance was made Into the build ing by cutting out a screen in a back window of the butter cutting room. The heavy door of the vault Is never locked, as nothing is kept there but the records and books of the creamery, and this was opened readily and an attempt made to ef fect an entrance to the Interior. In attempting to do this the combina tion knob was broken off which locked the safe. The robbers evi dently bad no dynamite, and had to give up further attempts to get to the contents of the safe. A llttio change left in the cash register was all the marauders secured. Ministerial Ass'n.
