FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED Tlio much cussed and discussed new electric linotype melting pot Is now properly Installed and Beems to be working fine. The heat and Ir ritation of the campaign seems to be over and the season for good feel ing and happy thoughts has arrived; therefore we take back (for the sake of our religion) nearly every thing we have thought during the past week. And on account of old friendships and good will for the future nearly everything we have said the past week. A squaring of accounts is always appropriate after the battle. We have an abiding faith now that we will be uble to print the uews Instead of apologies for not printing It. We thank our' subscribers fur their good will and forebearauco during the ordeal.

EDITOR'S NOTE The foregoing criticism referring to the hotel ac commodations Is evidently made with consideration of past existant condition prior to the new manage ment of the Hotel Ashland. It is obvious that since Mr. Coffmun h:is only recently taken over the old Ho tel Austin, making several Improve ments and changes, including the name to Hotel ABhland, that the auove criticism of Mr. Sanford I,! not applicable at the present time 5 Owlish titbits By KENNETH SULLIVAN a polar bear killed by members ,0f a recent Amundsen exploring ex- it.

Ashland has a shady auto camp ground, as tourists testify, but It is ull open and above board. Klamath Falls business men at the Churaber of Commerce luncheon Thursday noon sounded the keynote of co-operation among Southern Oregon cities. The spirit is coui menduble. Southern Oregon has not reached the apex, the final end of development. No matter how much has been accomplished it is only starting, guaglng its progress by the future. Southern Oregon has a great deal to live for. Southern Oregon boosters is not an idle term. Jazz togs have passed. Chicago haberdashers have decreed that rainbow silk shirts, socks with an optical kick and long-priced, eye- blinding cravats have gone into the obsolete past with nothing but slashed prices on old mocks to mark their passing.
