The Prince of W ales will
continue to set the fashion
for men in 1925 in the
way of w earing apparel,
G. F. Serak, an official of
the International Associa
tion of Clothing Design
ers, told the convention
of th at organization today.
The com fortable, loose
fitting, formless English
sack suit will be worn and
the tendency will be to
ward broader shoulders,
elim ination of the w aist
line and baggier trousers
with cuffs, he said.
• TF| 7young men who go
somewhat to the extrem e
will wear plaited trousers
with a oue button sack
coat, and double breasted
vest.
R eferring to the broad
er shoulders, the speaker
said, “ I w ouldn't ven tu re
to predict we are coming
back to the extremes of
20 years ago — the m as
sive ‘football’ shoulders
and peg top trousers. But
styles repeat themselves,
so who can te ll? ”
R -« R R R R R R R R R R
Some concerted action must be taken, and taken im
mediately in order that the Chautauqua building may be
saved from possible destruction, is the concensus of opin
ion of those who have sent in suggestions in answer to a a
request made a few days ago by The Tidings. Almost all R
of these suggestions received indicate a desire for a R
small bond issue, in order that the building and the site R
R
upon which it stands may be preserved for future expan R
sion of the park system.
R
Most of the suggestions indicate the opinion of the R
citizens to l>e that the building, after being taken over by R
the city, should be put under the supervision of the park R R
board. It has been pointed out that little or no extra ex- R
pense would be incurred in the maintenance of the build R
ing should the city see fit to acquire it, since the men who R
are now engaged in maintaining Lithia Park could also, R
with little added effort, maintain the Chautauqua build R
ing.
Although there has been much talk of the city tak
ing over the building, and almost everyone interviewed
has expressed their opinion in this way, no concerted
action has been taken. Some organization or group of or
ganizations must take the matter up, or otherwise the
building will certainly be lost.
Several more suggestions have l>een received by The
D eclares
Tidings, and some of these follow:

land can always make a bid for

I believe the
aw arding o f’the Odd Fellow's con
vention to Ashland for this year
came directly as a result of the
C hautauqua building being locat
ed here. These conventions bring
delegates to a city, and these del
egates spend their money in the
city, thus adding much to the
prosperity of the residents of thg
convention city.
The C hautauqua Associations
throughout the country have not
been organized as profit making
organizations and therefore, since
the Southern Oregon Chautauqua
Association is no exception, the
local body will never be able to
raÿse the money.
Certainly I
think a small bond issue to cover
th e mortgage on the building
should be taken up by the city
and the structure purchased.”

The annual meeting of the
stockholders of The Citizens Bank
of Ashland was held Thursday,
Jan u ary 8. the date fixed by the
state banking law.
Tho meeting was well attended
by stockholders, showing a keen
interest in the bank’s affairs. The
report of the past years business
and earnings were read by the
cashier,. V. O. N. Smith. These
brought out several interesting
m asters which give evidence of the
growth of the institution ai.d the
increasingly
strong
position
which it holds.
Deposits have m aintained a
v’e ry satisfactory^level during the
y ear,' being p articu larly strong
during the
summer and
fall
m onths of business activity. A
new high record in total deposits
wa9 established, the am ount be
ing 36S6.593.39. In both gross
and net earnings new high re
cords were also established, and
the am ounts paid out for inter
est on deposits and for taxes were
larger than in any previous year.
It was .also stated th a t a new
nest of safe-deposit boxes had
been ordered, which were expect
ed to arrive this m onth.
This
was made necesasry by the fact
th a t the present supply of boxes
are all rented most of the time,
and the addition of the next boxes
will again put the bank in position
to supply the wishes of its patrons
in this increasingly popular and
usefnl departm ent of the bank.
Reference was also made to the
industrial development taking
place in Ashland, which the bank
has taken an active p art in foster
ing and financing; to the new
hotel and the benefit derived by
Ashland producers and business
houses from the business of the
to u rist, which gives promise of
increasing in volume as increased
facilities are provided for
his
entertainm ent and accommoda
tion; and the increased acreage
now available for irrigation, all
of which point to a bigger and
b etter Ashland, and, together with
the improved general conditions
in his country and abroad, were
responsible for a distinct note of
optimism.
Following the report and a dis

referred to. the election of direc

REKA, Jan. 10.— By a greater
m ajority than th a t piled up in
the December election, which was
later voided on account of a tech
nicality, tl/f three propositions
for the purchase and improve
ment of a municipal w ater system
and the construction of a sep
tic tank and carrying a bond is
sue for $56,000, were swept into
effect Tuesday at the special elec
tion.
Tabulation of the figures by
U. F. Brown», city clerk, disclos
ed the fact th at on proposition
No. 1, the Decemberzvote was 390
for and 4 5 against the measure,
while Tuesday’s vote was 399
for and 22 against it.
Proposition No. 2 was carried
in December by a vote of 285 to
45, while the second election saw
it go over, 400 to ZZ.
The principal fight came at
both elections on Proposition No.
3, which provided for the pur
chase of the Cady and Buckner
tracts on which the w ater sup
ply originates. The vote in De
cember was 339 to 93, but Tues
day the voters piled up a better
m ajority, with 366 votes in its
favor to 50 against it.
Proposition No. 1 was for the
concreting and covering of the
reservoir, while proposition No.
2 provided for the construction
of a modern septic tank.
In the December election 438
votes were cast, while Tuesday
saw 427 voters m arking ballots.
W ith the bond issue made iron
clad in legal standing, it is prob
able th a t bids will be advertised
for to comply w'ith the city’s or
dinances, although three offers
for the bonds, which will bear
5 1-2 per cent interest, have been
made by San Francisco brokers.
One of the firms offered to pay
$2700 premium for the bonds,
if the measures carried, and it is
possible th at this offer will be
bettered.
As soon as minor technicalities
are cleared away, the bonds will
be sold and, when the money be
comes available, work will begin
on the new tank and the concret
ing of the reservoir. It is planned
th a t the properties will be taken
over and the work completed so
th a t Yreka may get the benefit
of the improvements for the sum
mer season of 1925.
“ It is very gratifying th at the
people of Yreka so unanimously
backed the work of the board of
trustees,” said
Mayor Roy J.
Schoen. “ We certainly appreciate
th eir approval and we w ant to
thank them. The passing of the
bond issfle means a better and
bigger Yreka for everybody.’’

The five man defense of the

The visitors scored first, chalk

one for the locals wjth a free

others. Members po'nted out that
one of the most serious problems
presented by the arrival of these
clubs results from competition
for interest and activity of busi

They said that while !n the

such organizations in sm aller
cities where the list of bus’ness

itself more severely felt.
