Suggestions Received by The Tidings Advocate That Property Should be Purchased by City and Put Under Park Board, in Order to Care for Future Expansions. Proceedure Is Explained. Still more suggestions, most of them advocating that the city take over the Chautauqua building, which is about to be lost to Ashland, have been received by The Tidings. And almost 'unanimously, the suggestions received from prominent men of the city advocate that the building be taken over and annexed to the park department, in order that if an expansion program, which some day must come, is started, the property will be available for park purposes. Many of the suggestions received are from old resi dents, men who saw the rise of the Chautauqua building, and who have traced its influence on business in this sec tion. They point out how the tourists, who travel through Ashland, have been attracted by the building, and have long identified the city, the one of thousands they have passed through, by the dome of the Chautauqua building. It is pointed out that the only way the property can be redeemed is through foreclosure. The members of the Southern OregonXJhautauqua Association are scattered, and it would be impossible to obtain their signatures to the necessary arrangement for the transfer of the build ing. The only possible way ftfr the building to be saved would be for the city to bid on it after the mortgage has been foreclosed, and it is certain that the city bidding, all other competitors would withdraw. A few oi the suggestions which J ___ have been received in The Tidings office were carried in The Tidings yesterday. Many more have been received, and will be printed in the news columns of the paper, j The Tidings welcomes these s u g -' gestions, and asks th at those who may have suggestions to offer fo r-! ward them to this office.

The tussle will get under way about 8:30 tonight in the Armory. The visitors are rated as one of the fastest outfits in the northern section. Two years 'ago tll»y romped off with the state title, and as they had a bunch of un derclass men on the squad at th a t time, a num ber of veterans of th a t team are still on the squad. They have been taking on the U niversity of Oregon Frosh in practice sessions during the past few weeks, and as a result have had plenty of real scrimmages, enough to put them into far bet ter shape than the other outfits the locals have met. Coach W alt Hughes of tho lo cals realizes his boys are going into a couple of real battles in their games with the University High five, and as a resu lt the Ashland squad has been put through the severest practice ses sions of the season during the past week. Although he has five first stringers who are good enough for any m an’s basketball squad, Hughes is ra th e r weak on reserves, and he has been trying to develope a bunch of high class second stringers. W ilson who has substituted at forw ard on several occasions is about th e best of the lot, and has great possibilities, but he is green and lias a lot to learn. The rest of the outfit have ability, but need w orking over. This working over process has been going on full tilt for the past week, and a big im provem ent is to be seen. B utterfield and Marske for wards, Captain Bryalit center and Ramsey and K atzer guards, will probably form the lineup Hughes will start tonight. Thesfc boys have taken the b ru n t of the work so far this season, and will un- doubtedly carry the burden in most of the games this season. Although not as heavy as a lot of basketball outfits, ’ they have speed to burn, and Hughes has them using it in the right way. Furtherm ore, the local coach has the boys peppered up, full of ginger, and they never loaf from whistle to gun. A prelim inary game, the con testants of which have not yet been lined up will open the par ade tonight, with the first game starting at 7:30. As soon as this game is out of the way, the main event of the evening will get un der way. REPARATIONS MEN WILL HOLD MEETING PARIS, Jan. 9. — A confer ence on the American w ar claims will be held here tomorrow by Colonel Logfan, American obser ver on the re p a ra tio n s' commis sion, and Prem ier H erriot of France. The conference will be held in order to come to some understanding as to how America will share in the reparations to be received from Germany under the Dawes plan.
