Clem Bradshaw and Sous IhibliNhera PHONE ASHLAND 70 Subscription Rates, in Advance: One Year....... ....... $1.00 Six Months..... 50c j New Management Having purchased the Southern Oregon Miner from Mr. Leonard Hall, this is somewhat by way of introduction. We have no special announcement to make at this time except to say that we are en tirely free from any personal, financial, corporate, political or other outside influence whatsoever. In other words, we are the “captain of our soul" and shall steer our course accordingly. We have no fads, fancies, folderols or cliques to promulgate. Just want to publish and edit a clean, progressive, independent newspaper in the same spirit of helpfulness and cooperation as did our pre decessor. And while we hope to make a reasonable profit from our investment, we shall ever strive to make service to city and community paramount to mere profit. It will be our policy to boost Ashland and com munity, Jackson county, and the grand old state of Oregon. With the emphasis, of course, on Ashland and its territory. No city in Oregon has a better opportunity to grow and prosper than has Ashland. The city is lo cated at a strategic point that gives it a wonderful opportunity. The merchants and other business men are alert and progressiveihe stores and other bus iness establishments arc attractive, the hotels are first class, the homes are lovely and homelike, the schools are splendid, the municipal park is almost beyond description, the mineral springs are far famed, and the civic spirit makes us glad that we have chosen this delightful place as our home. We have unbounded faith in this city’s growth and development. We shall do our utmost to help and will welcome any constructive suggestions or criticisms. Here's the glad hand to you all in friend ship and sincerity. ----------------- •----------------- Chance To Modernize The Federal Housing Administration at Wash ington, it seems to us, is offering a wonderful op portunity to home owners to make improvements on their property and to owners of vacant lots to build new homes. The time for doing this has been extended to Ap ril 1, 1936, so there is still time to modernize or build under the provisions of the act. Some moder nizing has already been done here but not to a very great extent. Building is a basic industry. The building of a new home or the modernization of an older home helps a good many industries and at the same time fur nishes employment. A building and modernization program of good volume in Ashland, whether through the FHA or other financing, would put this city on tile map in large and vivid letters. And it might wake up some of the slower cities. We are newcomers here and don't pretend to know all about local problems. But a recent press dis patch from Washington city stated that the FHA was beginning to function in a big way and that unemployment was being reduced by a noticeable percentage through its activity. Friday, August 2, 1935 The Thresher’s Harvest ------------- •-------------- Nationally Known The Oregon Journal did a great service to this section of the state by devoting a full page of its charms and resources. The illustrations included magazine section to an illustrated description of its two pictures of Lithia Dark. The article was written by Ernest W. Peterson and this is what he had to say of Asli land: "Twelve miles south of Medford is Ashland, the seat of the Southern Oregon Normal school. Ash land, located in the foothills of the fir-covered Sis- kiyous, is a city of homes, where industrial and ag ricultural development has barely scratched the surface of potential possibilities. This city is nat ionally known as a health resort. The curative qualities of the many mineral waters found in and near the city have been widely indorsed by health authorities. Ashland's famous Lithia water, its great and beautiful municipal park and playgiound, and the general attractiveness of the city Itself, make the trip to that community more than worth while. One of the 'new' things in Ashland is the Elizabethan theatre in Lithia park, erected on the ruins of the famous old Chautauqua building. “Ashland is a comfortable day's drive from eith er Portland, 325 miles, or San Francisco, 396 miles The city has three sulphur water plunges, and ia surrounded by a number of beautiful drives includ ing the 28-mile trip to Mount Ashland, to Lake the Woods, Fish lake and Buckhorn lodge. ------------------•------------------ s-< .7'*’ .. Concerning Gold! By J. C. REYNOLDS (Applegate's 71-Year-Old Globe-Trotting Poet-Prospector ) I’m a natural-bom prospector Whose talents have been applied Thru life to an earnest search for gold In regions far and wide. And it takes a lot of toil, sirs, And it takes a lot of skill, But when at last the gold is found, Then comes the gladdening thrill. Gold seldom can be found, sirs, In the place it ought to be; It hides in queer, unlikely spots With great perversity. So to be a gold prospector, Takes patience, vim and pluck And also that most useful aid Bestowed at times by luck. Now gold is where you find it, As you've doubtless heard before. In the most unlikely places A person may explore. But the purest gold I've found, sirs, Was not at the rainbow s ends, But where I would least expect it— In the hearts of loyal friends. So here’s to the gold Of friendship— A thousand carats fine—■ With the help of luck I found it In the hearts of friends of mine. I must leave Earth's gold behind me When I quit this earthly shore. But the priceless gold of friendship Will be mine for evermore.
