Notwithstanding the late "request

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

city election. Verily, some polltl

The charter amendments proposed

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

senate of the historic Susan B. An

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

and drinks to take iface of huge

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

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.

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.
