THE ROOT SHOP DISPLAY Compliment Is due the Boot Shoo t,A .i.lendld and artistic mspiay of an home product not only, but the spirit evinced in teaiuring iu output of the Ashland Mills, In the face of the great effort by Portland gentlemen for goods made In their city, Is highly commendable. Should that spirit . of helpfulness toward home Industry generally maintain with Ashland cltltens for a year the payrolls of Ashland would be quad rupled. We have a number of fine local factories, now small, but which, It properly patronized would soon develop Into enterprises of great moment to the community.

Editor RATES BY MAIL 2 00 125 76 United State v262 (The following statement is print ed at the request of Ashland Post No. 14, American Legion.) At the regular monthly meeting of Ashland Post, No. 14, American Legion, held Tuesday evening at the armory, a resolution was passed condemning the Pacific Record-Herald, a newspaper published in Med ford, for the publication of an ar ticle which the Legion deemed un American and for failing to print r. satisfactory explanation of the pub lication of the article. The article appeared on Septem ber 18. The Ashland Post carefully investigated all of the circumstances surrounding it's publication In-so-far as information could be obtained. Editor Earl Fehl of the Pacific Rec ord Herald was Invited to be pres ent at a meeting of the Ashland Posi and was given a full opportunity tc. explain the attitude of himself and his paper. Resolutions were passed and an explanation such as would be satisfactory to the Ashland Post, for warded to Mr. Fehl. Either Mr. Fehl his lawyer, Mr. Newman, or somt one else connected with the publica tion, made changes in the explana tlon before printing it and as it ap peared it was, in the opinion of thr Legion, evasive and a failure as fai as any clear-cut and satisfactory ex planation was concerned. The pres Ident, vice-president, secretary and a member of th"! executive committei called upon Mr. Fehl and Mr. New mn at the latter's office In Medford seeking to find the reasons tor the changes in the explanation and i definite statement of the paper'' stand. Mr. Fehl and Mr. Newman both stated that in their opinion the article was not improper and refused to make concessions of any kind tu the Ashland .Post's requests, anil stated that as far as they were con cerned the matter was closed. The following resolution was passed : Resolution Whereas, the American Legion it an organization which has among its objects the fostering of 100 per cent Americanism, and Whereas, the Pacific-Record Her ald, a weekly newspaper of the county of Jackson, did print and pub lish on September 18, 1919, in Itr columns a certain article entitled "Y-Worker's Views," which article was deemed by the members of the American Legion, Post No. 14, as ex pressing un-American sentiments, and further, was deemed an improp er article to publish by any Ameri can paper, even though such publi cation be accompanied by a disclaim er of accordance with the views ex pressed therein, and Whereas, Said Pacific Record Herald was given a chance to ex plain their error In printing such publication but printed an evasive and unsatisfactory explanation and have resented the further action of the local post of the American Le gion In suggesting that a clear ex planation be given to the public, and have refused to treat in any further manner with the Legion, Now Therefore, Be It Resolved By the members of the Ashland Post No. 14, American Legion, in regular meeting assembled, that the action of the Pacific Record-Herald manage ment in printing the said article Is no consistent with the principles In tended to be upheld by the Ameri can Legion, nor is it consistent with that high standard of Americanism that is Intended to be fostered by the American Legion, and that the print Ing of said article is condemned by the local post, and that the members of the Ashland Post No. 14 withdraw their support from the said Pacific Record Herald until an explanation of the printing of said article Is giv en to the public which Is satisfac tory to the members of the said Post No. 14. The foregoing resolution was unanimously adopted by Post No. 14 of the American Legion, at Its reg ular meeting, held October 14th, 1919.

FRIDAY'S NEWS Some sixty - Ashlanders who helped the ninety leading citizens of Portland who were here on the trade excursion, "whoop 'er up" at the trad excursion banquet at the Elks temple last night, became what. Prof. Vlning described as "good will citi zens" of Portland. The visitor? cer tainly scored one great big hit with Ashland. A bunch both lively and alive, they had a most glorious good time In ABhland, gave Ashland a good time, and also accomplished the serious purpose for which they visited Ashland; that of ascertaining what Ashland Is and hopes to be, More than that, they succeeded In overcoming the slightly skeptical at titude toward their purposes which permeated a few odd corners of the city, and convinced those with whom they came In contact that Portland's business men are keenly desirous of learning and catering to the needs of the smaller cities of Oregon. "One Big Oregon" was the key note of the gathering. The attitude of Portland as expressed by E. Boyce in his pithy talk In which he proclaimed, "I have no use for the man who dwells in the past. Forgot the hurts and grievances, the dead and gone croakers of the past. Look Into the future, together and with a new hope bound by a community of Interests." B. R. Greer, publisher of the Daily Tidings, was toastmaster and served in that capacity in a capable manner. In a short address he made the vis itors at home around Ashland's fes tive board, after which he introduced each Breaker in turn. V. O. N. Smith lead off the Hat of Ashland speakers with a sincere statement of conditions as they are and might be, his talk being Inter spersed with a witty line of anec dotes. William M. Brlggs shot a number of rapid fire tacts and some skillful ly expressed opinions and sugges tions from an Ashlander's viewpoint, at the Portlanders. Mr. E. Boyce of Portland laid aside all flowery verbiage and out lined some plans for closer lntereec- tlonal co-operation with the build ing of a bigger state as it's aim. Mr. A. H. Devers, one of the strongest friends the old Ashland normal had In Portland, discussed the need of more educational Insti tutions for the training of teachers, summed up the Impres sion Ashland as a site for such a school had made on the visitors and stated his opinion to be that every man on this excursion would bring his influence to bear when the nor mal proposition for Southern Ore gon came up again. Prof. Irving Vlning held the audi ence and swayed It from emotion to emotion with a masterful discourse on, "Goodwill." His speech brought the Portlanders to their feet with cheers ot agreement and. acclaim. The keynote of his talk laid in the sociological theory that the greatest force which directs a human being's Interest, hopes and efforts Is not the attraction of blood ties but that of a struggle to a successful end. Com mon Interests and common effort to the same end were held out as the supreme tie which will bind Portland and Southern Oregon. Dick Posey tickled the Portland ers so that they would hardly let him sit down but. called for "more" and yet "more." Ashland's poet was "going good," to use a slang phrase, and would have entertained the crowd for hours If the Portland ers had had their way, Mrs. E. E. Cadwell delighted the hearers with several soprano solos and became quite a favorite with the visitors. Her last encore was "Bub bles" with the whole assemblage Joining In the chorus. Mr. Mitchell accompanied her at the piano. L. F. Ferguson reported his find ings In the campaign to ascertain the amount of Portland sold or Oregon manufactured goods bought in Ash land during the paBt year, the report revealing. the tact that (986,000 was paid out by Ashland merchants for Oregon made or Portland sold, goods, during the past year. Henry C. Huntington, president of the Associated Industries of Oregon, after telling what he thought of the things he had discovered in Ash land, going into superlatives over the wonders ot the park and mineral waters, presented the prizes for the Oregon Products windows. Dodge ft Sons won first. H. G. Enders ft Sons, second, and the White House Grocery third. The decisions were made by a committee of Ashland citizens. Louis Dodge told briefly of his firm's experiences with Oregon made goods and among other things, stated that he believed his firm carried more Oregon made goods than any other in the city and did so because they had found them the equal In quality and lower in price than east ern products. Mr. Nelson Pike delivered an ap preciation of the reception here and of the things which Ashland had shown him which was sincere and splendidly delivered. Following the banquet the party adjourned to the Elks ballroom where Launspach's orchestra dished up Jaz zy music until midnight and the Portlanders danced. Joshed and en Joyed themselves to the limit. Taken all-in-all, the visit was one which Ashland will never forget. The sincere thanks of the business men ire due to tb Elks lodge for their generous co-operation, to th ladles who decorated the banquet rooms, the ladles who helped make the dance a success, th entertainer and speakers and all others who helped make tb affair th success It was. Ambitions of Ashland District RESORT DEVELOPMENT. Ashland feels that with the foun dation of Llthla park, than which there is no more beautiful natural park in America, soda, sulphur and the famous Lithla springs owned and developed by the city and made accessible In Llthla park; an all-year-round climate of mild and equi table nature with no extreme heat, cold or fog, and sunshine practical ly every day In the year; with the city's beautiful location and natural adaptlveness to resort development; with Its location midway between population centers of Oregon and California, on the mnln highway of both railroad and motor travel; with three routes to Crater Lake (Rogue river, Dead Indian, and Klamatt) branching' from the highway near this city; with Mount Ashland, the Marble Caves, Lake of the Woods and scores of other scenic points ot Interest within a short automobile drive; with fine fishing and hunt ing available nearby; and many like features, that Ashland should be come a mineral water and mountain resort second to none. IMMEDIATE AND PRACICAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDED. Two or three first class apart ment houses: During the summer scores could find no place to stay and even now a furnished apartment or flat Is im possible ot obtain. The combina tion of the summer tourist visitors which we are already getting, with the fact that scores of families of railroaders and those seeking school ing facilities move here in the win ter, assures correctly established apartment houses a paying Invest ment. Cottages, a tent city, mountain camp. A FIRST CLASS TOURIST HOTEL. To take advantage ot resort trade and automobile tourists. Must be built and run on a scale which would make It the mecca of touists. Sites overlooking Lithla park nd adpa- cent to mineral Bprlngs available. We need help in getting In toucn with men who can build suoh an ho tel. MINERAL SPRINGS WATER CURE SANITARIUM. Must be built along lines of such establishments at successful mineral water resorts and on a large scale. The city owns three kinds of mineral waters and would probably offer In ducements but will, accept fhaa al ready turned down) no nibble from small fry, , Recognition In Portland and throughout Oregon ns a Resort City. Various entertainment and amuse ment features. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. This phase relates to the Rogue ASHLAND TIDINGS NON-DUPLICATE. DUPLICATE. TRIPLICATE AND QUADRUPLICATE Either with carbon leal or carbon on the back Give us a chance at your sales and Needs River valley as a whole, as well as Ashland. LUMBERING AND ALLIED INDUSTRIES: Jackson county Is near the head of the list of Oregon counties In standing timber, but has but two sawmills in operation and few fac tories to care for lumber products. Investigation and investment along these lines Is needed. Power Is cheap and plentiful. Liv ing conditions are better and cheap er for labor than In present Indus trial centers of the state. CARE OF SURPLUS FRUIT: Caring tor our fruit is one ot our chief worries. Marketing of varieties suitable for shipping re quires co-operation from all sides. A dehydrating plant Is needed. Additional canning facilities are needed. Fruit by the scores of tons has gone to waste thlo year because no means of canning, preserving or drying It were available. CROSS STATE HIGHWAY: With the contracts let for grad ing ot the Ashland-Klamath Falhj road, the first ot many steps has been taken to build a "cross-state" highway, which, in lieu ot a rajlroad which should come soon after, will be of inestimable benefit to not the Rogue river valley alone, but to Portland, the Willamette valley and southeastern Oregon. We need tho co-operation of the state at large In pushing to completion a. road from the coast, through the Rogue Val ley, to Klamath Falls and on to the Idaho line. In a commercial way this highway will develop a new market for a dlbtrict which has been served mainly by te California cen ters. Ashland will directly benefit by the opening of a market tor fruit and -by the placing of her resorts in availability to the Klamath district. SCHOOLS: Ashland, as it Is an Ideal home town, la an Ideal location for high er institutions of learning, none of which now exist in Southern Ore gon or Northern California. . The attention of all visiting South ern Pacific officials Is directed to the nrrhitectunlly magnificent and ele gantly appointed S. P. station at Ashland. OREGON PRODUCTS PRIZE WINNERS Probably never had Ashland cltl-l zens been given a more difficult task! to perform than fell to the ones who were chosen by the Civic Improve ment club yesterday to Judge the prize winners for decorated win dows among the business houses.

These are souvenirs col lected by two of the employes In the garage, W. C. Cronk and Lee Fl field, who were with the U. S. army In France during the war. The trophies consist of a lot ot German war paraphernalia picked up from the battlefields, a number ot French shells and other Interesting souvenir from France, and a large number of trophies from the America narmy. Among the latter Is an array of prac tically all the inslgntas in the United Stats army at the present day. This display has a setting of the blue and gold color scheme designed for Port land day," and adds much to the at tractiveness of the Overland-Marcy windows. FRIDAY'S NEWS The football team ot the Ashland high school left this morning tor Klamath Falls where they will play the high school of that city In the opening game ot the season tomor row morning. The boy have been putting in some extra hard practice under the ' training of Physical Di rector O. O. Moore and hope to give a good account of themselves at the opening game.

Th trip was made to Klamath Falls in automobiles and the team was ac companied by Coach Moore. goods sold through Oregon Jobbers. This stipulation figured much In the decision for the prize winners, not so much because their displays were any finer or more elaborate, but be cause they had the opportunity of displaying Oregon manufactured goods In their branches ot merchan dise somewhat better than many of the other business places. After much deliberation the prizes fell to J. P. Dodge & Sons, first; H. G. Enders ft Sons, second and the White House grocery, third. Tho following other business bouses re ceived honorable mention: McGor's dry goods store, Vaupel's dry goods store, Holmes' grocery, the B6ot Shop, Sams grocery, the East Side Pharmacy, Mitchell's clothing store and Ferguson's dry goods store. A number of others could well come -within this line, In fact all the busi ness houses had acquitted themselves creditably when It came to the ques tlon'ot decorating with Oregon pro ducts and the business men of Port land went away with much more re spect for Ashland's loyalty in stand ing by. the products ot her state. book business 1 i
