A team that would otherwise, have attracted much attention has been more or less ne­ glected from the public’s standpoint. Now however with one of the best teams in the state coming here for a two game aeries, the fans should not forget that we too, have a winning team. So far this year we have lost but three games, and one of the early in the season, on a floor that had been used for dancing, and 'upon which it was nearly ini(>ossible to stand. With a record of this kind back -of them, the boys as well as the school officials who have been working quietly but efficiently are deserving or some attention from the public, when they appear here at home. An enthusiastic rabid basketball crowd would do much to help the boys Friday and Saturday. Why not give it to them? A Broad-Gauge Industry There has been a shortage of capital for the development of weatom metal mines; but the situa­ tion is improving as the public better understands mining. Western st#tos particularly are dependent tq»on their metal mining industries. These industries should have full encouragement by both state and ''national government«. It is incumbentx upon the government not to impose exhorbitant tax bunlen« upon the mines, or unduly restrictive regulations in the form of “ blue sky” laws upon the promotion and development of mining enterprise«. On tlie other hand, mine developers and operator« should not resort to extravagant claims for the purjxjse of inducing investors to place their capital, in mining ventures.

J. Moore has just consummated the purchase of the residence property known as the “ Alice L Black property” which is favorably located on the Boulevard in the very heart of the school sone, and is considered one of the most desir­ able and attractive {pmeS'Of that favored district Mr. Moore is president of the State Bank of Ashland, is a careful, conservative dealer, and a close observer of general business conditions. His recent purchase would indicate that he has con­ fidence in a bright future for Ashland, where he has resided for the past twenty years, during which time he has been actively identified with various interests of the community. He intends making extensive improvements of his new purchase, and seems to take an optimistic view of Ashland’s fu­ ture, noth withstanding the dire predictions of many pessimists to the contrary. It was Mr. Moore, who on behalf of the C. W. Boot estate, conceived the idea and initiated the plan of purchasing certain tracts of land at the entrance of our beautiful park, to be 'used for general park purposes by the city. When he pre­ sented his plans to his associates, the other two members of the board of trustees, they at once con­ ceded the wisddm of Such purohases and heartily entered into the details of exercising the options to purchase which Mr. .Moore had procured. These lands are admitted on all hands to be of incalcul­ able value to the city of Ashland, and in their pur­ chase the trustees of this fund have not only shown a progressive spirit, but have also shown their faith and confidence in the future prosperity of the city. Ashland needs' more men of the progressive, far-seeing type of the membership of this board 'of trustees, with concerted action and less of the idle street talk of the unthinking.

'. . . ’ OUT OUR WAY Buys Ashland Property The hopes and aipbitiens of many Ashland people have been raised recently with the announce­ ment that the Shale Oil project bids fair to become a success. The recent test run, was sufficient to con­ vince the engineer in charge of the activities that the principal involved of extracting the crude oil from the shale, was correct. That the oil was of a high grade, the engineer also stated, and he further declared that it should mean a good paying in­ dustry for Ashland. This should be worth something for those who are prone to minimize the advantages that Ash­ land in particular and Southern Oregon in general lias to offer. This means the probable development of one of our natural resources. It will undoubtedly mean that the untold wealth that has been lying dormant at our door step, will he converted into assets from which every one should receive some benefit. - ■ W. H.

Saturday, December IS, 11126 I got up fifteen minutes to six that morning If I remember rightly, made things fly for two hours, Set the thermograph, car­ ried up wood aad water, shovel­ ed some snow, and at eight o'clock I was playing my role of Banta. I traveled that 42 miles fo r no other reason to take out some Christmas cards. Of all the simple minded, I take the cake. I made the trip all the way on my own power. It took me just nine hours, no, the skilag wasn’t of the best. The crust under the new snow was rotten and would give down with each stroke of the aklls, then th« new anew was grainie, like sand and the two conditions made it hard going. To top it off central forgot to call the garage, and as the song goes, the ear that I longed for never easse; eo I walked the lire miles from the snow line Into town. I really enjoyed the trip down, even to the last fire miles. When I Was In the timber, there was the snow laden trees to enjoy, they were beautiful, and as I left them behind and came Into Wood River Valley just as the purple and lavendar shadows of the days end was settling over a landscape mottled with white and deep green; I forgot all about the car, or was glad I had to walk. There was the ragged peaks' of the Cascades outlined In pink and drhlts, w ith a background of sky aglow, w ith crimson colors; the faint outline of farmhouses nestling In deep blue shadows of the foothills, tka curling smoke o f the chimneys, the windows aglow with {rlsndly light. Per­ haps It was these things that caused my stride to slow and my traveling time seem long to you. I reached the hotel at fire o'clock a little tired. O lar A.
