orchard within the city limits and less
. than a mile from the postofflce, was
purchased, platted and made into 36 du-
. . titrable lots. - Saturday, to .the accom
paniment of the Jacksonville Juvenile
band, busses, automobiles and private
conveyances carried hundreds of people
; to the new addition. Boulevard Park,
and 28 lots were-sold. A, modern bun-
galow has been nearly completed in this
addition within the past week. . .
- There are at present a number of east.
ern people, representing considerable
, capital, in Ashland buying large orchard
tracts, examining the Immense coal de
, posits, negotiating for soma of the min
eral springs and talking an electrlo road

Hoseburg and other delegations to the
Rose Festival will corns in special cars.
There will be a special car from Walla
Walla, one from Baker City, two from
Hood River, and Pendleton people can
have one or more If desired, but they

their extra coaches at mobilising points
with -the understanding that they can
be used on any particular day or every
day as the travel warrants. The city's
hotels and restaurants are preparing to
take care of every visitor., and. there Is
TU reason to expect that anyone will be
unable to find ptenTy ot accommoda

of the Harrlman lines, has expressed

er the best 'day -of the-Rose-Festival

JAPANESE PRAISE

i j miration Here. ' -
London, May 15. Londoners are great,
ly amused at the euperlatlve polite
ness of their Japanese visitors whd have
arrived hers from Aifcerica . on their
world-tour la search of knowledge. But
Londoners are also growing somewhat
tired of. this sustained diplomatic atti
tude, and this feelln Is inspired to a
great extent by the arrival of ths Any
erin mall.' 1
.. la the New York papers one finds
that all the sweet praise which has
been so generously lavished upon things
English and Englishmen, v has , already
been poured out upon things American
and American men. Londoners are told
that English women are ths prettiest
In the world and greatly superior to
their sisters across the Atlantic, But
they find that the American press chron
icles the Japanese opinion that English
women are poor things compared, to ths
beauties of America. , . .
Londoners learn that the oriental con.
siders America the most commercial na
tion in tho world while on American
ground. Here In London; . commercial
supremacy Is the sole legacy of the Brit.
In New York American public" build
ings and thoroughfares were the last
word in architecture and town-planning.
In London the Japanese "express their
admiration for the finest streets and
architecture In the world. ' -
The result of this aecommodativeness
has been that their visit after the first
eouple of days, has fallen cornpleialy
flat, thetr movements pramote no fur
ther Interest and their views on people
and places are bo longer recorded. ven
a Japanese can be too diplomatic. .
