Ashland and Cottage (Wove, the lim
its of Mr. Stewart's district.
To Guard Tunnels.
Strict instructions will be given
the guards to keep careful watch
over tunnels, water tanks and tres
tles, where the greatest damage
could be done and the longest delays
caused.
"We expect no trouble," Mr. Stew
art stated today, "and do not believe
that so far as the danger of damage
is concerned that there is any need
for these guards. The company,
however, must prepare itself for any
eventuality and must proceed on the
assumption that there will be vio
lence offered to Its property.
No Trouble Looked For.
"So far as the railroad men caus
ing any trouble Is concerned we do
not expect any show of violence from
them. I have been In railroad work
for many years, and I know person
ally most of the boys on my division
and they are every one of them gen
tlemen, and although they will fight
and fight to the limit, they are not
going to destroy anyone's property
or threaten anyone's life. They are
going to fight clean and In the open.
1 "There Is, however, a class of men
in this district who are not associ
ated with the railroad but who are
radicals at heart. They will not
hesitate to damage the company's
property If they get a chance,- and
then the strikers will get the blame.
There are some men who will be
ready to do any amount of damnge
if they think they can get away with
It, and consequently we must protect
the vital points."
Mr. Stewart says that he has not
arranged definite plans for the sta
tioning of the guards but will work
out that feature if It becomes neees
sary to put the men on duty.
Strike Xot Expected.
He believes that the strike will be
settled without an actual walkout,
and that the guards will not be
necessary, but he is following out his
Instructions and Is preparing for any
eventualities. The company's prop
erty will be kept under close guard,
day and night, he states, and every
possible precaution will be taken.
M. Coturrl, chief special agent for
the Portland division, was in the city
today conferring with Mr. Stewart
and with the local officers. Sheriff
Starmer states that his office will co
operate with the railroad officers In
the protection of property. The rail
road company Is a heavy taxpayer
and the sheriff's office will assist in
protecting Its property and enforcing
the law covering any emergency
which may arise.

Urges Teachers to Give Mere
Time to Fundamentals of
Education; Less to Frills.
CONSOLIDATION URGED
Wherever Geographical Conditlous
Will Penult Connolldnttun is to
the Advantage of Schools,
Teachers Arc Told.
Very often too much time Is
given to the faucy frills of education
and not enough attention paid to the
I'undamental subjects. State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction J. A.
Churchill told the teachera at the
Douglas county Institute today. The
Fundamental studies are the most
.mportant, Mr. Churchill stated In
discussing the sublet of "Oregou's
Objectives In Education." Too of
ten, however, the order Is reversed
and It Is the fancy methods and side
Issues that are given the greatest at
tention at the expense of the more
vital studies. The state superinten
dent urged the teachers to give more
attention to "readln," wriiln' and
'rlthmetic" and not to put the v
essentluls before them.
He also urged the consolidation of
rural schools wherever geographical
conditions will permit. New methods
of transportation, belter facllltiei
and good raids are making consoli
dation possible in many districts, he
stated. Wherever possible, consoli
dation should be given a trial but
only after consulting wilh the county
school officials who are belter able
to Judge whether or not such consoli
dation would be advantageous for
Ike communities effected. He urged
that In consolidating schools that the
advantages of the'rural school over
ihe city Bchool be not eliminated.
There are many advanlages which
the country school has over the ci'y
school, he stated. One of these is
the close contact of the teacher and
pupil, another Is in the fact that the
vounger pupils have an opportunity
of hearing and seeing the older
children study and recilo and are
able to pattern after those who have
had more experience and have been
longer In sehool.
He also urged the better prepara
tion of teachers, especially along the
line of the reading circle work. Pro
fessional growth is necessary If edu
cation is to Improve. Ho also en-do-sed
the county unit plan and ex
plained It in detail.
The address of the state superin
tendent followed a very plenslng
opening ai-sembly led by Miss Mange
Calkins. At 10 ociock tne oepan
niont conferences were held, this be
ing followed bv a short address on
club work bv J. E. Callvan. field
worker of the state educational de
partment. While this address was

BROCCOLI GROWERS HAVE
CHARTER FOR EXCHANGE TO
BE FORMED IMMEDIATELY
Purpose of New Association Wilt be to Establish a Cash Market
For the Broccoli Crop Instead of Permitting Long relays
In Payment For Season's Yield.
Umpqua broccoli growers have re
ceived a charter for an organization
to be known as the Umpqua Valley
Broccoli Exchange, Inc. The first
meeting will be held within the very
near future and permanent officers
elected and the organization placed
cn a finn basis. At the present time
growers have been signed up repre
senting 240 acres and It Is expected
that practically all of tho growers of
the county will Join as soon as the
organization Is placed on a working
'tasls. All of the growers are Invited
la Join and It Is believed that con
siderable benefit will result from the
exchange which proposes to establish
a cash market In Roseburg for the
1922 crop.
During the past few years there
has been a constantly Increasing
sentiment In favor of a cash market
In Roseburg. Heretofore growers
have been required to ship their pro
duet and stand the loss In transit,
and accepting the report of the re
cipient. Several- thousand dollars
were lost by shipment spoilages on
which the local growers had no check
and there has been a constant de
mand that some now method of sell
ing be arranged.
The growers now propose to sell
their crop In Roseburg. The ex
change will take all of the crop
brought to them and will dispose nf
it to the buyers who will pay cash
for tho amount accepted. The sales
will be made In the same manner as
the turkeys, for which the county Is
noted, are handled. Buyers will be
nresont In the city and will buy what
Ihey want, paying cash and shipping
it their own risk.
This will give the growers cash for
their crop within a few days after It
Is delivered to the local exchange.
The exchango will be able to obtain
good prices an all of the crops of Its
members will be marketed through
the association and it will be able to
mnke good offers to the purchasers.
In addition tho association will be
side to get good prioes on crates and
other materials used hy the growers.
Already the exchange has made ar
rangements with the local box fao
'ory for the crates to be used for next
reason's harvest. The local plant
will furnish crates to the limit of Its
capacity and others will be bought
'rom a Pnlom plnnt s good price hav-

NEGRO QUESTION DISCUSSED
IHIIMINCrll AM. Ala.. Oct. 2
The American negro's right to broad
or political and economic advantages
hased on pride of race, but never to
aspiration for sorim equainy. wa"
championed by President Harding In
a plainly worded enimcinnon 01
views on the race problem delivered
at the seml-cenlennlnl celebrstlon of
Ihe founding of Birmingham.
"Rsclal amalgamation there can
not be," the President said. "Part
nershlo of races developing the high
est aim of humanity there must be
If humanity Is to achieve the ends
we have set for It. The black should
seek to he. snd he should be encour
aged to be the best possible black
man and not the best possible Imlta
Hon of a white man."
Mrs. H L. Rlchter left this morn
Ing for Minnesota, where she will
spend seeersl months visiting with
relative. lit
lng been obtained.
No officers have yet been chosen.
!ut a meeting will be held In a few
days and a permanent organization
perfected. Thero will be only a small
capital stock, the only expense being
that of organization. Shares will be
sold at 25 cents each, one share be
ing allowed to each acre represented.
A sales manager will be employed
but he will work only on a basts of
the amount of crop handled and will
receive no stated salary. The ex
change has been offered the choice of
two large warehouses for the ship
ping season and will be In a posi
tion to handle Its crops without de
lay and will have ample facilities
at hand for the loading of the crop.
Already correspondence has been
received from former cash buyer
who are willing to buy next year's
crop on the same basis, and will
have men here next seasons to take
the broccoli as It Is brought In and
pav spot cash for that accepted.
The present outlook Is that the
crop will be the largest ever shipped
from this valley, with apnrovlmste
ly 300 acres planted. It Is anticipated
that there will be at least 200 car
loads shipped from the Umpqua Val
ley. The crop Is In fine condition for
'his season of the year and unless
there are some especially unfavor
able weather conditions during the
winter months the crop will be of an
exceedingly good quality.
The new telling plan, working
with the added advantage of cooper
ative buying should add considerably
to the profit to be made by the
growers and altogether the outlook Is
verv optimistic.
- - The result of next year's eron wilt
have a great bearing on tho future
of the Industry In this county. For
the first time growers are attempt,
ing broccoli raising on a big scale.
Harry Wimron has plaated 90 acres
Into broccoli and Foster Butner has
00 acres planted, while other grow
ers are also setting out much larger
tracts than ever before. This means
that a success will encourage them
to go forward with even bigger at
tempts and will Drove to other grow
ers that broccoli can be grown suc
cessfully on a big scale. The profits
are such that this result will be a
greit forward step for the county and
will create a new major Industry for
this section of the state.
