Wli, "est ""ft i Q Churchill Endorses Pendleton Normal Salem, Ore. J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of public instruction, is asking the voters of the state to support the initiative measure on the ballot this fall providing for the es tablishment of a standard normal school at Pendleton. The state su perintendent's last report shows that only 13 per cent of the grade teach ers of the state are normal school graduates, and he, more than any other one man, appreciates the need for more competent instruction, par ticularly in the rural schools. "Oregon's greatest need for its rural schools is the teacher who has had full preparation to do her work," he said in making public his endorse ment of the measure. "Such prepara tion can best come through normal school training. "I trust that the voters of the state will assist in raising the standard of our schools by establishing a state normal school at Pendleton. The lo cation is central, the interest of the people of Pendleton in education most excellent, and the large number of pupils in the public schools will give ample opportunity to all stu dents to get the amount of teaching practice required in a standard nor mal school." Klamath Falls beat Gold Hill 8 to 2 at the former city Sunday last. Med ford lost again to. Weed, the score being 4 to 0. A number of Ashland ball fans attended the game and gathered in some loose Medford coin. Kenneth Lilly, Ashland boy playing with Weed, brought in two runs and scored himself. Gold Hill played a fine game at the Falls, according to report and must have a team which ranks well with Medford. Next year there will probably be a league or ganized in the valley and Ashland fans hope to have a team to repre sent the Lithia city.

Trade Excursion Special A wholesale trade excursion con sisting of nearly one hundred repre sentatives of the principal wholesale, manufacturing and banking members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce will start for a visit to Coos Bay and southern Oregon on Saturday, August 19, in an eleven- car special train of Pullmans, dining cars and observation cars. The party will arrive at Ashland at 4:30 p. m. Saturday, August 26, and will remain here two hours. This wholesale trade excursion of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce is the ninth of such trips that have been run under its auspices, or of the former Merchants' Association of San Francisco which merged with the chamber in 1911. The first excursion was to the southern San' Joaquin valley in Octo ber. 1910. The next was to the northern San Joaquin valley, and the district visited was that from Fresno north to Tracy. This was followed by one to the Sacramento valley and Klamath Falls, an eight-day trip dur ing which over forty cities and towns were visited. The next trip was to the Mother Lode mining section, and this was followed by excursions down the coast line from San Jose to Los Angeles, and one to Napa and Son oma counties, and a second trip, to the southern San Joaquin valley. The 1915 excursion was to Hum boldt county. The present excursion is the first to be run outside of the state of California. While the Chamber of Commerce made, several sightseeing trips previ ous to the eight above mentioned, these wholesale trade excursions are distinct from all others in that they are "personal visit" trips in the full est sense, and their main purpose is to promote personal acquaintance be tween the heads of the San Francisco firms and thefr customers in the towns visited, and enable the princi pals of the firm to study at first hand the needs of the Interior mercnanis. Pnr thin reason these excursions are limited to the heads, or the principal officers, of the wholesale, Jobbing, manufacturing, banking; insurance and real estate members of the cham ber. Formal entertainments In the towns visited are not encouraged, and instead the members of the party spend their time principally in per sonally visiting the different firms in their respective lines at their places of business, and in short rides around the adjacent country to see Its re sources. Order taking is barred on the excursion and the visit is Bolely in the nature of a social call. In this u-av the Drlncipals of the San Fran cisco firms are enabled to become per sonally acquainted with the men wltn whom they are doing business, to see their Btores and stocks, to size up the future of these stores, and in ad dition to learn at first hand whether the local merchants have any com plaints to make regarding prices, qualities or deliveries. Many complaints by local mer chants have been quickly adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties when the principals got together, which perhaps would never have been set tled otherwise because the matter at issue had never been brought to the attention of the head of the firm with all the facts clearly presented. Also in some cases the local firm has been fminri entitled to a larger line of credit because the San Francisco mer chant was able, through his visit, to form a clearer idea of the growing importance of the community in which the store was established, and to realize the character and size of stocks that must be carried by the local merchant to meet his demands. Besides the mercantile representa tives, the Chamber of Commerce al ways has some of the heads of the passenger and freight departments of the railroad lines traveled accom panying the party for the purpose of studying at first hand the transporta tion facilities furnished the various places visited, and to receive and ad Just, if possible, any complaints re garding passenger service or freight deliveries from San Francisco.

The present excursion will last seven days, the party leaving Sau Francisco Saturday evening, August 19, and will not return until Sunday morning, August 27. On this trip the. party will visit the following places In the order named: Eugene, Marsh field, Noilh Bend, Myrtle Point, Co quille, Bandon, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Med ford and Ashland. The excursions will travel in an eleven-car special train consisting of four Pullman standard sleeping cars, two Pullman compartment cars, two dining cars, a buffet observation car, a composite observation car. The entire train is electric lighted and the party live on It en route, so that all the time possible can be spent at towns in visiting. Informal receptions and smokers are the rule at the places where even ings are tpent, as these give an op portunity for meeting the local busi ness men for an hour or two or social talk.

Much new machln under the Klamath project certainly j ery is now on the way from the east, appear to be improving. the new equipment being up to date This will come primarily because and modern in every respect. A big much of the land being reclaimed by the drainage work will again be as sessed with construction, operation and maintenance charges, and will in that way again get on the payroll. Until about two years the per acre crew of men is to bo added next week to speed np the reconstruction work. A small crew has been kept at the mine since the fire. A sawmill is to be established first of all to saw out timbers for the new mill building V. L. S. E. Says . Bergner Live Pal V. L. S. E. Pals (Seattle). The Ashland Tidings, down In Ashland, Ore., deserves great credit for using all the photoplay news they can find room for, and they find plenty of room, too. Pal Bergner, who does the exhibiting in that town, is JuBt about the livest in southern Oregon. Not only controlling Ashland's two theatres, he is a local booster of the first water and a fine fellow, from the feet up. ' He was elected King Sulphur at this year's roundup, which brought 50,000 people to ..shland. Motion pictures were taken of the en tire doings at the city park, where they turned over the golden key to the merrymakers. Pal Bergner is now negotiating with one of the leading motion pic, ture producers to locate in Ashland It is no doubt an ideal spot, weather and scenic conditions perfect. Much of Pal Bergner's time is devoted to things outside of his theatrical busi ness, but he has a partner in Mrs. Bergner, and she can make a veteran showman look like a rusty nickel, and when it comes to booking films she is a wonder. C. P. MERWIN. Writer Says Park And Camp Are Best Dennis H. Stovall, magazine and special writer of considerable note, camped in Ashland's auto camp re cently and was much interested in Lithia park and the camp. He writes as follows from his home, Fernwood, at Philomath, Ore. Mr. Stovall hai traveled over practically all of the western country, and his descriptions of what he has seen have appeared in magazines and newspapers all over the country. In none of his writings is he given to "hot air," hence his compliment to the Ashland park and camp rings true: Auto Camp Store, Ashland, Ore. Dear Sir: I enclose twenty cents silver, for which please send me a collection of pictures of the Siskiyou Highway photo postcards. Two of them may be of the park in Ashland, but make all the others of the hlgh- Lway and interesting viewpoints along the road. I will appreciate this favor. We camped at the auto park a few weeks ago in our round of the state and were delighted with our treatment there. Ashland has the most beauti ful park and auto camp In the state In truth, there is nothing anywhere in the west to compare with it. Yours faithfully, ' DENNIS H. STOVALL. Mrs. Mark Smith and small daugh ter go this week to Lane county to visit relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Smith plan to leave Ashland for California on her return. cost of irrigation was steadily in-1 and other buildings which will be creasing, due to the fact that much land was becoming waterlogged each year, and, as it got into that condi tion, it was withdrawn from the list of lands against which charges were assessed. Because this waterlogged land was only In spots throughout the project, the cost of operation and maintenance could not be reduced at all, which made the cost per acre of the land actually assessed much larg er than it should be. WTlth an extensive drainage system being perfected, however, this land is gradually being put Into condition again for farming. During the fiscal year Just closed fifteen and one-half miles of drain ditches were dug by the Reclamation Service. This land lies in the Klam ath Basin, about ten miles south ol tliis city. Robert Spencer arrived in Ashland Monday from Copco where he has been employed for the past two months and left Tuesday for Berkeley where he will enter the University of California. He went south with some friends who were returning to their home in San Diego by automobile. Chief of Police J. F. Hlttson of Medford was the first citizen of that town to kill a buck. He brought a fine five point animal in about 10 o'clock on "opening day." erected. It Is understood that the new mill Is to be placed at the lower portal of the mine, on the east side of the mountain instead of at the portal which has been used as the basis for; work prior to the fire. Mr. Bartlett is confident from the progress made during the time that the mine has been operated that he has a fine proposition.
