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The News called an “ Unpublished Story?*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 That’s the unpublished stoiy.”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local source of that remarkable “ unpublished story”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.
