To lho Public:

tho Ashland mineral spring project

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

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.'
