SIZING THINGS t'P In sizing things up, especially those having a bearing upon local conditions, It is well to remember that there is more than one angle from which a question may be viewed. Many people err in judgment pure ly from haste and over-zealousness. Impressions are often formed at first glance, and unless a person Is willing to probe beneath the surface and consider all available facts those first Impressions will remain and be come fixed convictions, Irrespective of whether they be right or wrong. Then there are those who, having formed a hasty conclusion, refuse to recede from their position, even when confronted with indlsputuble proof of their error in Judgment. That Is pure stubbornness. Rut in Ashland, as In all other towns, there are many people who are quick to form Impressions, but are willing to, and do, analyze the arguments of the opposition. Often times their views are completely changed as a result of the additional information they thus acquire. Sizing up local conditions Is an admirable habit, but undue haste In forming conclusions is regrettable. Best results are obtained by tak ing a calm survey of the situation from every conceivable standpoint before taking a definite stand. Communities prosper and grow when their citizens adopt this plan. It Is the better one for Ashland. BIG ROAD MAP INSTALLED IX YREKA AUTO PARK YREKA, Calif., April 16. Com bining utility with necessity, U. F. Brown and Irving L.

It was staged In a truck belonging to the company standing In front of the store. A small child drew ticket out and it was handed to Mr. Peebler, who announced the ticket as belonging to A. E. Erickson, but upon his failure to answer to his name, anothej ticket bearing the name of W. S. Peppers was then drawn, and Mr. Peppers answered when his name was called, and was awarded the stove.

Hooper hag brought In some very fine samples of Kaolin, the ma terial used In the manufacture of pottery, to the chamber of commerce and the same has been forwarded to a firm In Portland. Mr. Hooper's ranch lies thirteen miles over the range, in the Dead Indian country, and the samples were found in that vicinity, where he says there are al most inexhaustible beds. Secretary Fuller, of the chamber of commerce, recently received a let ter from a Portland firm, who con template engaging In the manufac ture of pottery, provided they can find suitable material. Heretofore, all the finds of kaolin have been confined to the northeastern section of the country, and little, If any pot tery has even been manufactured on this coast. If the samples come up to the product of the east, It is among the probabilities that a pot tery plant would be established here, which would employ a large force of men. The kaolin from the Dead In dian country has been tested before and it wag reported to be superior to that found In the eastern beds. DEATH CALLS MRS.

Moss, of the Overland repair shop, went out to salvage the car. He found the machine resting about six feet from the ground In some trees and had to cut the trees out to get the car down on the ground. After clearing a path the machine was started and backed around with Its own power so as to face up the hill. Then after about five hours' work, It was landed on the hlgliW8y"and driven to town un der Its own power. The top is a complete wreck and the glass broken out of the wind shield, but the frame was only slightly damaged, despite the fact that the car is said to have turned over five or six times on Us descent. This is the third car to go over the bank at this place during the past few months, but this car holds the record for distance, going twice a3 far down the bank as either of the other two. H.

Election of Ash land's Candidates for the Senate and County Commissioner. Ben Sheldon, of Medford, rancher and former president of the Medford chamber of commerce, made the of ficial 'announcement today that he would not be a candidate at the pri maries forthe republican nomina tion for state senator. This leaves the field practically clear for the nomination of George W. Dunn, of Ashland, whose candi dacy papers were officially filed yes terday. Mr. Sheldon's announcement came as considerable of a surprise to his friends, as well as to those who op posed his candidacy. He is a live wire and a recognized power in the legislature. He has assigned no par ticular reason for his sudden deter mination to withdraw from the race, beyond the bare statement that his private affairs demand greater atten tion than legislative activity would permit. The news was received In Ashland with considerable satisfaction, as it clears away the possibility of a split in the party lines, as Sheldon had many friends here, and he has al wavs been recognized as a good friend of this section, In and out of the legislature. His fight to retain the normal school in this city has not been forgotten. It will have a tendency, too, to strengthen T. H. Simpson s candi dacy for the nomination for county commissioner.

HON TON CAFE MAKING GOOD Since Harry Morrow and his wife took over the management of the Bon Ton cafe on Fourth street, the business has more than doubled.

They are having a particularly heavy run on pastry, due to a large extent to the fact that the fruit used Is all of the hostess' own preserving. ASHLANDITES MAKING GOOD AT U. OF O.

A hundred years ago stoves and dreplaces generally seemed to be the tiling that gave decorators of houses the greatest concern. "The stove," says a German writer, gpeaklng of the house furnishings a hundred yeurs ago, "was quite In dispensable In a northern cllmule, but wherein the whole of antiquity was any reference to be found to a tiled stove? The universal ultur had again to he called into service. At Worlltas, for Instnce, the stove was named the altar of winter, or else was converted into some kind of mon ument.
