LY TIDir OL. XLV ASHLAND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1922 NO. 26 ASHLAND WEEK L ANNOUNCE PLANS I (From Tuesday'! Dally) Mayor C. E. Gates, of Medtord, on; his arrival yesterday from a several I days' absence In Portland looking; over the political situation, said he! would announce next Wednesday or Thursday whether or not he would ' become a candidate for governor on: the republican ticket. It Is probable that his declson will be made known at the banquet of the Jackson Coun ty Game Protective association at the Hotel Medford tomorrow night. A significant feature of the pre liminary campaign Is that the Port- lund Oregonlan, which for several weeks In Its write-up about the can didates for governor already an nounced, has avoided any reference to Mayor Gates candidacy, led off Its political story Sunday by referring to that candidacy. -The Oregonlan aid that "Pop" Gates would decide within the next 48 hours whether or Dot he would enter the gubernatorial! race. HULET M. ILLS 10 GIVE LECTURE Hulet M. Wells, a well known Se attle attorney, who recently returned from an extensive trip through the Volga region of famine-stricken Rus sia, will deliver a lecture at the Con gregational church Wednesday night, March 1. A local man who was born in Rus sia makes the following statement: "I have seen a good deal of poverty in Russia, the most naked, bare pov erty. I remember, for instance, the good old Czarrlst times, when hun dreds of "boclaks" (barefooted men") used to sit around open fires on the streets of Kiev or Odessa in the bit terest winter cold, with next to noth ing to protect their bodies and noth ing to eat. 1 remember the thin, pale faces of Russian peasant women and children during the spring months when their supply of broad was generally exhausted and they had to go half-starved. Those were the good days of order and peace, but what I hear abo.it the famine in the Volga valley is enough to stagger the Imagination even of a Russia." Go and hear a man who has just returned from the famine-stricken land give a graphic picture of what he saw. IS TOMORROW NIGH January Report Of Cow Testing 3. B. Blchan, tester for the Rogue River Cow Testing association, has made the following report: Silky Lee of ABhburn, owned by J. R. McCracken of Talent, is honor purebred cow for the seventh con secutive month. Her yield In Janu ary was 911 pounds of milk and 60.12 pounds of butter fat. F. Puhl had the honor high grade cow of the association Star, a grade Holsteln, who produced 1400 pounds of milk containing 67.20 pounds of butterfat. This association still maintains the lead over all others In the state for highest average milk and butterfat yield. It also has the greatest num ber of 40-pound cows. The following was taken from the report of the extension work of the state of Oregon: The highest individual cow yield t of butterfat was 81.69 pounds made by a grade Jersey, "No. 20," owned by Joe Donaldson of the Tillamook association. Paul Fltzpatrick, also of Tillamook, won second place with yield of 76.9 pounds made by bis Guernsey cow, "Jarilcee." The average yield of. all associa tion cows for the month Is 2.86 pounds of butterfat more than for January 1921. This amounted to 8802 pounds for the 1334 cows on test. At 30 cents pound this equals more than (1100. The Rogue River association for the fifth consecutive month leads In average production per cow for both milk and butter fat.

A SIDE TRIP TO WAGNER BUTTE j This is one of the most delightful one-day trips out of Ashland. Ex perienced hikers can easily make the j ft V .i tnm ttinoa nrhn ii ip in it uuuiD, uui are not used to hiking long distances! It is suggested that you take a ci to Long's Cabin and hike the re malnlng six miles. On leaving Ashland you pass Ihrough Llthia Park, 600 acres of forest-covered hills and dales. A beautiful creek ripples right through the heart of the park, with large flower beds on either side. - Shady walks, arched over by leafy, green vaults, wind in and out for miles. The first Dolnt of interest on pass-iti,B Ing through the park is the lower in - take, . 2 miles from he post office.. Most of the drinking water used by. tho city of Ashland Is taken out of; the creek at this point. The city res-j ervoirs are 4.2 miles up the canyon. one Just above the forks of the can yon on both the east and west forks. Af:er 30 or 40 minutes ride on the well graded road ' through Llthia Park and the city watershed, you reach Long's Cabin, 6.6 miles from the city. For many years this was the resting place of hikers on their way to Mount Ashland or Wagner Butte. The cabin, with the surround ing 160 acres was recently purchased j by Jessie Wlnburn, a New York mil-j Ilonalre, who has added to the cabin j by Jessie Wlnburn, a New oik '"!, and otherwise improved tho prop erty.

MINERAL WATERS OCR GREATEST RESOl'RCES The use of mineral wuters at their source, with their railioac.lvity at its full, and with possibilities of var ious applications, is rapidly becoming a sepurate and fruitful brunch of practical medicine. There has al ways been a rush of humanity to ward the supposed healing waters of mineral springs. It is said that all the roads of Franco lead to Nerts, the great mineral spring resort in southern France. Carlsbad, the world's most famous health resort, neatly packed away between the green wooded hills of Bohemia, has 160,000 visitors overy year. For more than five centuries I he healing waters of tCarliliad have washed away the ailments of heterogenous and cosmopolitan millions. There nre about 40 mineral springs In tin vicinity of Ashland. Some of these have been productive commer cially for yearB and others aro Im proved for bathing, for the estab lishment of health resorts and for medicinal purposes. Hut these val uable resources of Ashland are not used us much as they reserve to be. The mineral spring waters of Ash land are varied in composition and ifHUltant dualities,, and their merits are practically unknown to the out side world. In fact, those who have been born and reared near these HprltiKH fall to appreciate to the full est extent the wonderful asset nature has put within their grasp. There are three types of mineral springs in Ashland: Llthia, sulphur and soiln. The lit tiia water hns an average salinity of 8982 parts per million. This Is about 30 per cent greater than well known llthia waters from other localities. The Stanlslawa spring near Knrlsdorf, Galicln, has bout the same amount of chlorine and soilliim, but less lithium and not so much carbonic acid. Tho sulphur waters nre charged chiefly with carbonic acid, sodium, calcium, magnesium and silica, in ad dition to tho characteristic sulphur, which U present not only In the sul phates, hut as hydrogen sulphur or free sulphur or both, The sulphur springs have an average salinity of 8.10 parts to the million. Analysis made of the soda waters here Is much like that of the Sprue del waters of Carlsbad, Bohemia, though the Ashland waters contain more calcium and magnesium and less sodium. The salinity of our soda sprliiKs, 30.10 parts to the mil lion, Is consldorubly greater than that of the Carlsbad springs. Both the soda and the llthia wa ters, used internally, have medicinal values. The sodium carbonate ap pears as a normal constituent of the blood, lymph and nearly all se cretions of the mucous membrane. The soda waters of Carlsbad are highly recommended throughout all of central Europe for treating acid i dyspepsia, rheumatism, gout and di abetes. Where II t It in appears in suf ficient quantities it has a decided therapeutic action. The sulphur waters are well known for their use in the treatment of skin diseases, hyperaon.la of the liver and lu cat arrhal conditions of the respiratory organs.
