ERA OF GREAT PROGRESS

been recorded.
Five years ago, Ashland was physically equipped with every g ift ever bestowed
Upon a city by a Divine Province. Ashland had everything that makes up a wonderful
ly prosperous city. And Ashland was on the main route of travel from the North and
South.
Five years ago, the people of Ashland really awoke to the possibilities of their
city, and began the real work of exploiting these possibilities. Of course, there had been
many in the past who had realized Ashland's possibilitis, and had done everything in
their power to exploit them, but the people of Ashland, the mass which gives momentum
to every great project, had not awakened, and the efforts of these few pioneers had been
____
in vain.
.
Today, Ashland stands behind a ’five year period of advancement. Today we look
back at the wonderful steps that have been taken by every establishment in the city. Our
new hotel, long the dream of the city, is an actuality, and everything that goes with the
Construction of such a building is ours. And the .hotel is really ours in every sense of the
huord. Every dollar expended on its construction came from Ashland people. Every direc
tion made on its construction, igas made by Ashland men.
Our park has been developed in the past five years as it had never before been de-
oped. Under the supervision of a wonderfully efficient Park Board, it has gone ahead,
lizing to the fullest all of its natural advantages.
Throughout Ashland, there has been a general advancement in business. New

This city, long known as an educational center, has advanced enormouslly in that
during the, past five yegx&Mobably showing greater advancement inVhat line than
wr any other.
First, the reestablishment of the Southern Oregon Normal School here was au
thorized by the legislature, giving back to Ashland that which was taken years ago as the
¿result of a bitter political fight. Now, Ashland again takes her place among the cities of
¿the state harboring a state institution of learning.
• New grade schools have been provided. Living up to their record of never hav
in g defeated a bond issue for the providing o f schoolbuildings, the people of Ashland, by
¡an overwhelming vote, agreed to assume a greater burden, in order that the youth of the
★
city might have better educational facilities.
In every line of development, there has been a steady ascendancy. There has been
tno boom, for Ashland's growth and progress has been, substantial, minus all that is dis
agreeable which usually accompanies a period of boom, and the resultant pricking of the
¿bubble.

The merchants of Ashland have come to realize the value of The Tidings to the

Why disease came, why it remained as a curse, what could have been done by public
