ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS Picture« E A ttü fc S A M £ - PO RTLAND A two-cornered fight has again started on the question of routing tourists to Crater Lake via Medford or Gold Hill from Grants Pass, with The Medford News and The Grants Pass Courier as the champions growling at each other in the ring. Bight on top of the editorial which The Daily Tidings had Wednesday, advocating the union of southern Oregon and possibly northern California counties into an effective organization such as those which haVe created such a constant stream of tour­ ists into other sections of California, The News published an editorial attempting to take Grants Pass to task for supposedly having directed Con- ,, grçssman Lea and his party of California to Crater 'Lake over Gold Hill. How a Medford enthusiast had resided the party and brought them to Med­ ford was the inspiration of the editorial, which The News called an “ Unpublished Story?* The Courier replied with many- comments on the “ wailing and weeping” of the Medford news­ paper and ended their editorial with this: “ When Congressman Lea and his party were here, they were guests of the business men of Grants i Pass. At this time, President H. D. Norton, of the Grants Pass Chamber of Commerce, advised Mr. Lea to take the route over Medford. And Mr. Lea took his advice! That’s the unpublished stoiy.” ..... The Tidings - believes, that the Grants Pass Courier is giving the true version of this story and publishes this editorial merely to illustrate how trivial, how unimportant and how harmful and un­ necessary are the bickerings back and forth be- 4ween communities in Southern Oregon when this Vast regiop has so much to offer which is construc­ tive instead of destructive to each other. - And just incidentally «re are reminded-of the local source of that remarkable “ unpublished story” which the Daily Tidings had already published last weék following the reception here for the members o f the California Highway committee. “ f’op” Gates, staunch old booster for Medford mentioned the affair, told of -ibe visit of Congress­ man Lea to southern Oregon and how he had been directed to “ pass up” Medford, but how “ Pop” had gallantly rescued him from this terrible fate. Now as a citizen of Medford it is commendable of “ Pop” Gates to boost for that community, J>ut he is a member of the sta|e highway commission, and that covers a lot of territory. It is to be re­ gretted that the incident occurred but we do think state officials might be a trifle more diplomatic in their tales of heroism. Sometime^ they are misun­ derstood. The Community Band Again this evening an attempt is to be nirfde to organize the Ashland Community band. There is an old adage that “ Absence makes the heart grow fonder” and it would seem it might be ' applied to t^iis community institution. At the recent Recreation Night program in *Lithia Park we overheard a number of folks, remark how they were missing the open-air park band con­ certs this summer and how they had enjoyed them in the pd&t. May6e there was a lack of spoken ap­ preciation fof the work of the musicians, but there was never a lack of attendance at the delightfnl ( affain. Organization of the band wag attempted once this year gnd was unsuccessful. Now it is to V« tped again and every musician, every community booster, should get hack of the organization and boost and work for its life. There is still plenty of time for some mighty enjoyable concepts in the park this Sommer. Ashland wants a band. Ashland needs, a band. And with the proper spirit of oooperatjoh back of those who compose the band the needbd and want­ ed institution will become a material fact and in ­ stitution of enjoyment. 29.— In a latter a Thursday for V h e letter, Sen Francisco, was tfie Hrst word Mrs. Crumpacker hod recstied from Longworth, who was the houAe guest of t^e late congress­ man here the week before.
