In spite of the fact that three
bidders submitted bids, and each
enclosed a check for >50, the
city council last night rejected
all bids for the lease of the Com
munity hospital for a three year,
period, and appointed a commit
tee to Interview
Miss Jeanne
Aitchison, one of the bidders, rel
ative to the drawing up of a new
agreement. The committee waa
instructed not to lease the hospi
tal to any but a registered nurse.
This latter decision removed
Mrs. Nellie L. Loomis, leasee of
the hospjtal since Its operation
under the city, from, the list of
bidders.
Mrs. Loomis’ bid of
>700 per year wa» the highest
offered, being 9100 higher than
that of Miss AUchtson.
‘‘We hire trained men In every
other city department, and there
Is no reason why we «should uot

ASHLAND IDEALLY SUITED
TO FILBERTS SAYS LAMB
That the Ashland vicinity Is
Ideally suited to the production
of filberts, Is the opinion of A.
L. Lamb, well known local con
tractor, who is also engaged In
filbert culture in the Willam

"There are thousands of acres
of land near Ashland, now grow

In filberts,’’ JIr. Lamb declared
this . morning.
“We can grow
them here Just as well as they
can be grown In the Willamette
Valley,” ’he continued.
Mr. Lamb recently returned
from Salelh. where he waa en
gaged for several days In plant
ing a large acreage-'which he
owns' near there to filberts. Be*
fore this planting he Interviewed
almost every filbert grower In
that vicinity and believes h®
has a thorough knowledge of
the culture.
In apeaklng of filberts, Mr.
Lamb said:
“The Pacific Northwest Is ths
only place in the United States
where filberts are grown com
mercially to any extent. Here
the filbert thrives and yields
well.
By comparing the large
quantity of Inferior nnts that
are Imported each year with the
large fresh ones that are pro
duced in the Northwest, one can
readily appreciate the possibilities
of the filbert Industry which la
rosy with promise. Imported nut»
are smaller, inferior In point of
flavor and quality, usually »re
