To lho Public: Ik it ignorance or vnnityf Why is tho Ashland mineral spring project intlfil by one man's ideas nnd moth odst Question- to Answer lias not the opnriunity been of ft'ix-d Ashland to build the mineral ppriugii projcc.1 on n brond nnd com prelionMtVo plan nnd but not this op port unity been rejected by the Ash lund mineral HpriiiKH commission? Hojuq Iliver valley is vitally inter ested in the development of the min crnl springs within its boundaries. The state of Oregon an a whole has n right to be as much interested in the development of the. mineral pjiriiijH of the Hofffte River valley as the stnto of Now York in the proper dt'Vt'lojKnent of the mineral springs of Snralog-n, Xcw York did take no tiro of her responsibility after more than a hundred years. With the kii6vleljco of today, Orcf-on should not wait so long; if slow to act, however, Rogue River valley must look to it that tho mineral springs arc developed in a way to make the most of these resources. When advertised to the world ns a waterin;- place, Ropio Iliver valley must hnvp n wntcrint plnco. ,,.VHt Ileal Carlslmd When advertised as the Carlsbad of America, Rogue Iliver valley must have what the name implies. A structure built for its ndvertis inj effect, solely with the object in view or tjrcatinK a boom in real prop erty values, thut wise men mnv sell out to tho newcomer hud the uniniti ated, will result in lho e,reul oppor trinity heiiip wasted. DevclofHuI after .umturc tblihora tinn of the plain laid down bv the host intelligence, Saratoga will have n Carlbbad on the Atlantic coast; following equally thorough and prac tical lines, ltogne Iliver vnllev can have a Carlsbad on tho Pacific What better future can be marked out for Rogue Iliver vnllev than to be known as the great mineral springs resort of tho Pncifio coast nnd rnnk with Saratoga on the Atlantic. What would this be worth from an adver tising standpoint! Caution Advised J lie mineral spring commission elected by the voters of Ashland must proceed with their work with the greatest caution, else (hey will injure the big: future of Rogue Iliver valley as n watering plucc. Mistakes made in tho early inception of the project will be far-reaching nnd advertise the valley far and wido in tho fake class, and this must nt nil hazard be n voided. Unfortunately tho commission at this time is dominated by a personal ity whoso constructive gcniiw, aided by ijl-advised action on tho part of the city council, erected emergencies by which to push the people into ill considered voting at the polls, under a plan so shrewdly giving absolute power, buttressed by the -.initiative and referendum, indicating' deep thought and long preparation. Whos dictatorial outlining of u bond issue has advertised Ashland in the finnn rial world as proceeding in an indi reet find not straight forward course in placing her bonds with tho public, resulting in investigation which will in tho future cause like questioninc' of Ashland s notions in transactions of n similar nature; Whoso ignorance of his duties ns commissioner wuk manifest to an unprejudiced public fii tho accept nnce of on estimate for the expend! tare .of 5175,000 without first deter mining' from the bent possible author ?iy wiiouior or not mo estimate car-. ricd tho ideas which should govern tho installation of a mineral water iroji'iit, especially ono to bo ndver tisudus a Carlsbad; Allege Ignoimnce Whose arbitrary action iu rejecting the advice and assistance of an in- u tftliff6nl policy for IB9 development " t the mineral t springs, the ignoring for wlfisji purposua of the pleadings (jfa spriiigs commission of a sister ' Httet the fceorecy maintained regard- JKt.fiHoh eowiDunicationa .sent to the H&V $WtiW& of As!.- Why "Girls Usually Fail as Moving Picture Actresses; They Don't Try Hard Enough, Says Mary Pickford (This Is tho fourth chapter of Idnh MrOlono (llbson's Interview with Mary l'lckford, In which tho noted movlo actress tolls tho story of her llfo. Editor.) IV IIA1I .MettlVOXK (illlSON. CllAl'TUR IV. (Copyright, 1015, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.) "I have learned." said Mary Pickford, "that to bo successful . In nny walk of llfo, whether you with to bo a movlo actress or attempt nny other way ot earning a living, you must hnvo courage, not only physical courngo but moral courage nnd mental courage. "I do not think the women of tho stage or the women In tho camera plttj' need these any more than any other woman who goes out Into the world to earn her daily brrnd. "Hut I often think If I worn blessed with a daughter, t would fool that I had to devote my life to hor In tho same way that my mother has Unvoted her life to mo. There Is always temptation for the girl who must leave tho protection o hor home. "Consciously or unconsciously, every girl must ehooso. and she will bo what she wants to he most, she will have what she wants most. "You can have anything yon want In this world If you want It bad enough, , , "Many a girl has started out In the movies with the brightest pros pects and she did not succeed. She didn't want to succeed bad enough. She may think there was some other reason, but there was not. She put something before her life's ambition. "It Is not enough to wish for things. You must work for them. "Nothing not oven love. Is given you you must earn It. "Kven today, when l am supposed to be able to do as I plonse as far as my work Is concerned. I work so hard at times and nm so tired nt night that I throw myself across tho bed completely exhausted. I do not want even to eat. "Yon see, I often go out to work on sunshiny days before seven o'clock, and I may be running over bill nnd ndlc and doing strenuous stunts that you sco on the screen as long ns the light lasts, which Is often after flvo. "When I posed Tor tho picture of "Hearts Adrift" I had Just gotten up from a hospital bod, nnd I was not quite sure If I would be able to project the character. Those who have seen tho picture will remember that I was barefooted and most of the time dressed In a Hawaiian cos tume or straw skirt and thin chemise. "Tho picture was taken In December, and It was very cold. I found, however, that every day that I was growing stronger nnd better for my ouiuoor worn, ana 1 camo out ponccuy well and as brown as a gypsy. "Tho moving picture artist must also have physical courage. She must always be ready to take chances. She must think qulcklv, or she will not only spoil the picture, but sometimes endanger her own llfo. "She must mako work her life, her pleasure. Sho must put all thought of luxurious living out of her mind. When I am working I do not even see my friends. "With the exception of going to the theater occasionally, I am a hermit. "Little girl who wants to go Into the movies, do you want to bo successful bad enough to work like this? Pnless you do, stay out of it.' . (To be continued Monday.)
