PARK NOW LOOKING FINE Extra men have been put to work In the park the past few days and it la taking on a very pleasing ap pearance. The walks are being cleaned and scraped and the wrinkles dragged out of the drives. Earlier In the spring the park board was handicapped for lack of hands, nut now enough men have been secured to adequately handle the work. The ground above and Including the old children's play grounds Is lolng fenced to house tbe elk donated to tbe park by the local Elks lodgo and arrangements will lx made at the PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS Notwithstanding the late "request ed" opinion from the city attorney that everything had been legally done by the present city administra tion, the council has now issued a call for a special election to be held June 27 to pass two charter amend ments to give Ashland a legal city court and a means of holding a legal city election. Verily, some polltl clans are great dodge-re. The charter amendments proposed will likely be published officially in the Record next Thursday. Assum same time to take care of several i'ng that there are no political Jokers other animals that are offered, which. In the amendments they shouTd be newspaper men interested in the coming tour and directing their at tention to the ' Pacific northwest. ' "Every visiting newspaper man will be a missionary for the Pacific northwest when he goes back home, and I am satisfied that the money the association expended in securing the convention - will of the Commercial Telegraphers Union of America, sent out a mes sage from Washington authorizing a strike of Western Union telegraph ers thruout the southeast. The business of the Union Meat Company of Portland was taken over bring us the 'by Swift & Co. on June 1 and will widest publicity we ever, enjoyed." GOVT. CONTROL COST PEOPLE $9,02:1,477 Enactment of permanent legisla tion validating the present Increased telephonle toll rates and placing the telephone systems of the country un der federal regulation so as to pre vent financial embarrassment of the systems when they are returned to private ownership was urged before the senate interstate commerce com mittee Thursday by N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the Boll Telegraph and Telephone company. ' Questioned regarding revenues of the Bell properties tindpr govern ment operation, Mr Kingsbury said the government lost $9,623,477 from August 1, 1918, to May 1, last, under, the contract made with the Bell com pany. ' , hereafter be operated under the name of Swift & Co., with C. C. Col ter, who was manager of the Union Meat Comnany. as manager under the new .ownership. SUGAR THREATENED TO RAISE IV PRICIi At the annual meeting of the American Beet Sugar company. H Ricman Duval, president of the com pany, said: "We expect to make 30 per cent mors sugar thb coming campaign than the last ono, in splto of recent unfavorable conditions In California, where the beet crop has suffered to some extent from lack of sufficient rein and fog. We depend on the fogs as well as the rains to provide moisture for the crops. "There la no particular reason to suppose that price of sugar wUl be Return of the telephone properties ' lower, and it may be higher. If that at once was urged by F. P. McKInon. 's the case, next season s operations vice president of the United States should be much more profitable. In Independent.

Temporary retention , Hons about the samo time as last of the present Intrastate rates In ef fect until their fairness can lie de termined by tbe various state com missions also was asked. The witness estimated the govern ment's deficit in the operation of In dependent telephone companies at $600,000 exclusive of companies with which the government has no con tracts. SUFFRAGE WON AFTER 40-YEAR STRUGGLE With the suffrage fight In con gress won last week, after 40 years of effort, advocates of the measure have turned their attention to the state legislatures, three-fourths of which must ratify the measure. Realization of the hopes of tho leaders In the equal suffrage cam paign came with, adaption In the senate of the historic Susan B. An thony constitutional amendment res olution which was adopted In the house May 21. The vote was 66 to 25 or two more in favor than was necessary. Altho supporters of the measure are confident of final success, there will be an added attraction to the already interesting park features The children's play ground equip. ment Is being moved down under tho trees in the old Chautauqua park grounds where the kiddles will he able to recreate In the cool shade of the great trees. The move Is a good me. TO TAKE STRANGERS THRU THE PARK A suggestion was made at the last Commercial Club meeting that lool s like It had considerable merit. One of the depot Jitney drivers said that many people on the trains could be induoed to take a rldq thru the park if they could be assured that they would be returned to the depot be fore time for the train to leave. All the trains make a twenty minute Mop at the depot. . Ho said if the park drive was kept smooth from Pell's corner thru the park and the camp ground and back on the high drive the Jitneys could easily make the trip in the twenty minutes al lowed. It would be worth consider able to the town to have Btranj'ers passing thru see the park besides building up a 'fine and profitable In dustry for the jitney men. All such acheraos, when found practical should meet with the cooperation of city of ficials to the end that Ashland get every legitimate advantage possible from the activities. The matter of keeping the park drives smooth hould have attention and the taxi men encouraged In the move,. Prohibition h.-.a encouraged manu facture of all kinds of sweet foods and drinks to take iface of huge anms formerly spent for alcohol. passed for it is. certainly high time that Ashland be put back on a legal basis. In order that Tidings readers may have the opportunity to examine the proposed amendments we will print them In the next Issue of the Tidings without cost to anyone. If they prove free from Jokers we will ad vocato their adoption. EDITORS' VISIT WILL . BRING MUCH PUBLICITY "Securing the National Editorial Association convention has already brought muoh publicity for this sec- slon." stated Herbert Cuthbert, ex ecutive secretary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association re cently. "Eastern United States and Canadian papers giving advance no tices of the tour which is to cover the principal cities of Oregon, Wash' lngton and British Columbia and give the editors a glimpse of this great region. I am sure that a great deal of valuable publicity will fol low the trip, resulting in an in creased volume of tourist business for next year. "Prom what I learned in the cast, tho attendance will be large. While was there. J. Brude Walker, direc tor of publicity for the department of Immigration of the Canadian gov ernment, announced In the Canadian press that a party of 300 editors from nearly fcvlery state ' In the Union, accompanied by some con gressmen and senators, would pass over Canadian railways on a special train bound for. the convention, and return via the Canadian Pacific How many more will come I cannot tell but in every newspaper office I visit ed In the east I found the working Cooked Lunch Goods We have added to our Market a full lino of cooked camp lunch goods and are ready to serve tourists and campers as well as home folks who wish to have cold meats on hands for emergency. , East Side . Market James Barrett, Prop. Phone 18S is a division of opinion among lead ers as to whether the ratification by the states of the proposed amend ment can be secured in time for the women all over the country to vote la tbe next presidential election,. Senator Gay of Louisiana, In oppos ing the resolution. ' predicted that thirteen states would Vefuse to rati fy the amendment, thus causing its deieafi. year and we shall probably run the Ltis Animas factory. In California we shall be about a month late." Mr. Duval was asked whether there was any tendency for beet com panics to acquire more lands and fp.rm a greater proportion of the beets themsslveo. He replied: "The iflgh price of farm lands makes that unlikely. Lands that could former ly be bought around $100 an acre are now worth from $250 to $500 an acre." The question was then asksd If the holdings of American Beet Sug ar company amounting to 27,380 acres, of which more than 6,100 acres are In California, had not appreclat ed greatly In value, since they were acquired by the company. He an swered that the value of the land was In Its power to produce, and ap preciation in the value of the lands wis reflected In the earnings of the company. He said that It would cost much more to buy these lands now than when they were acquired. Mr. Duval said that they were on excellent terms with the farmers, and pointed out that they were paying $10 a ton flat in Colorado against $S for beets of 16 per cent sugar con tent previously In California beets are now purchased on a sliding scale varying according to sugar content and price of refined Bugar. 1 American Beet Sugar company has erected hdoba houses for the accom modation of Its laborers during the ?ason, and in other ways has at tempted to Improve the condition of Its employes, Mr. Duval said.
