MTCTTFOTin MATT, TRTRTJNE. METTFOrcTY OftEP.OX, MONDAY. JULY 10. 1022 vnv, TTTRTrr? FOR HOTEL GET IL 'ASHLAND, July 10. Hope long de ferred regarding the hotel project Is receiving another bracing stimulant In tbe shape of a modification of former plans and under different auspices. A hotel and apartment' htyise combined U now suggested, as advocated at a forum luncheon of the chamber of com- . merce at Its recent business and social gathering. Moreover this new plan Is v derived from parties within the state, C. L. Stldd, a former field agent of a . Portland corporation, having suggest V ed It. The plan contemplates the for- Biatlon of a local-company to invest in 'ffcra-thirds of the stock, the remaining third to be offered to Investors in gen ; eral. Chamber of commerce directors yere Impressed with the plan, to the extent of appointing a committee to investigate the matter, the following i being named: Geo. W. Dunn, L. F. Ferguson, A. C. Nlninger, C. D. Lam ?kln, C. II. Pierce. J. H. Fuller, H. G. i Ei.rs, Sr., and F. B. French, i ? Hillah Temple has voted to furnish ;. the cornerstone of the new hospital for crippled children which is to be 1 built In Portland, the Institution being ;' & unit of Beveral ones which are to be , erected at leading centers .throughout !; the country by the Shrine. Of course the supplying of the cornerstone In ? this particular Instance Implies that it shall be of native granite from this ' vicinity. The offer to supply it is t awaiting details as to dimensions, etc.. the proirosltion having been received from the Portland chamber of com erce. The question arises, why not , supply the entire amount of rock need; I ed from this locality? ; 4 Word from Roseburg announces the I resignation of Stanley L. Kidder, of that city, as Inspector in. the postal ser vice. He has been a frequent visitor s here in an official capacity, ever the same genial and gentlemanly fellow. With whom it is a pleasure to transact ! Business or meet in a social way. In ; the postal service for nearly 25 years, ! 1( years of that period were passed in j the Philippines. ' i Tlie untidy appearance of certain portions of the Plaza, is a disgrace to ' the civic improvement spirit, in early ; morn both the street and fire depart ! ments have everything splck-an-span l as far as street and walks are con- cerned, hut by noon much litter is vis ible;, especially In the vicinity of the ji postoffice, where patrons tear open j. parcels, throwing wrappers and circu lars to the four winds, though recep tacles are provided for this purpose.

ROGUE VALLEY MILLING CO. especially near the curb, reveals much rubbish und a not very inviting sight, j almost daily. Help is being advertised for In all directions, involving mills, irrigation projects, etc., even Hotel Ashland pleads for two bell hops. Charley McWIUiams, of Klamath Falls, visited the home lolks over Sun. day. The stay was a brief one, due to the circumstance that tourist and other auto traffic is athigh tide at present, needing all mechanicians on duty to the limit, with many working overtime. . A local dame goes out of town in recommending that Ashland be boy cotted for having permitted the Ku Kluxo appear in the parade on the Fourth. Without entering into a dis cussion of the merits of the aims and objects of that order, lots of people unite in saying that it afforded one of the most unique and impressive fea tures of the parade, and there was a raft of the Klan who participated In the demonstration on a quiet and peaceful basis. It Is doubtful if there was either a bowie knife or sawed-off shotgun concealed by any Klansman in the ranks. On the other hand, just Imagine what a hardship the proposed boycott would Inflict. Ashland would have to trade at Talent, and Medford go clear to Phoenix to shop. I A trip up into the Canadian north .west, where they have extensive realty ! interests, prompted R. J. Edwards and Harvey Huntzlnger to leave their pres ent domiciles in the vicinity of Alham bra, Calif.,' recently, stopping here for a brief visit over the Fourth, both hav ing been former Ashland residents. A party of old-time acquaintances, they I among the number, met at the cafe teria dinner served by the Baptist ! folks on the Fourth. And by the -way, this was a fine dinner, served amid comfortable surroundings, and enjoyed by a large number of townsfolk ana others, fnmily subdivisions forming many jolly groups. The affiliated Masonic orders here, realizing that they are outgrowing present quarters, realize the impor tance of expansion in regard to lodge room space. Whether such improve ments assume the phase of adding to present quarters, or building elsewhere from the ground floor up, remains to be seen. If the latter project is decid ed upon, it's time to be looking over eligible sites before they are all gone. At all events, committees have been appointed to investigate the matter and report accordingly. Singers are offered locally at 3.i5 each, probably referring to canaries, instead of vocalists harboring tenor, sporano or baritone tendencies, piano thumpers being barred. The exodus is on to Crater Lake and other resorts in that locality, and every day parties are outfitting for the premier trip of the season. Miss Ger trude Engle, in her new Buick car, piloted a party of mutual friends in that direction the last of the week, among the number being Miss Frances McWIUiams, both of these teachers be ing home for the summer vacation from Richmond and Oakland, Cat., re spectively. The Shrine has at last received its equipment of new dishes, the lot In cluding over a thousand in various classifications. The ware is Syracuse china, from the Onondaga potteries in New York. The make is extra stout, the models fine, decorations on each individual piece being supplemented with the distinctive Shrine emblem. The cost approximated $450 delivered here. EAGLE POINT EAGLETS A.
