By ex actly the same process of reasoning the fact becomes evident that one organization can more economically attract forty tourists to Ashland than two or three organizations; one or ganization can more economically at tract industries, stage celebrations, or entertain visitors than two; one church can lead more people into the ways of Christianity more economic-1 ally than sixteen; one lodge can at- j tain the nim of social life, charity or j SUBSCRIPTION RATES brotherly aid more economically One Year 12.00 , than a dozen, anQ- so on through an' naSShi' :::::::: :::::: ". organizations; Payable in Advance wherein under present conditions the . duplication of machinery is causing Offical City and County Paper Issued Monday and Thursday TELEPHONE 39 Advertising rates on application TMrat-rlasn 1nh nrlntine facilities Equipments second to none in the 'and wasted money Interior. i . , . ....... i with an lnesiimauie amount ui iuki euun , Heard and Overheard (By Lynn D.

From the automobile tour- 1st to the casual dally visitor each and all pass on with but the highest praise of Ashland and her work. These are the best advertisement that can be imagined. And from that fact a reasonable and logical de duction can be drawn. If everyone who comes is pleased and goes away with praise on their Hps, It Is only necessary to bring people here In greater numbers during the next year or two to warrant a great suc cess for. the enterprise. If this is to be done, arrangements must be j made for their accommodation in the way of furnished cottages, apart ments and greater hotel facilities. There Is a lot of capital In Ashland that can be profitably emplo7ed, and some of these capitalists already have vacant lots suitably located for the purpose, in building such struc tures as will be in demand. The de mand will he for high-class accom modations, and visitors will pay well ! for that, but they will not rent old run-down and shabbily, furnished apartments. But few available honses of any kind were vacant this summer popslbly two or three from which the furniture should be taken and burned were offered without takers. Next year there will be de mand for more than a hundred mod ern modern, mind you furnished up-to-date cottages at from $20 to $50 per month, the price being de termined by the attractiveness, size and proximity to the park. Every vacant lot on Granite street should he covered with an up-to-date cot tage this winter. They will rent well the coming season. Every old rara shackel building on that street should be torn down and replaced with a modern cottage. enced fjuiitmen to run a fruit asso ciation.

Eoozer Is the new Presby terian minister at Grants Pass. by. To keep him out of the loafing hanging outs, he has been turned into a young clubman. But It's one thing to get the boys into some of the many useful socie ties, and it's quite another to have it work out some positive benefit. Leaders of the Boy Scout movement report great difficulty in securing "scoutmasters." To fill this lack! they are starting at Boston this fall j a school for scout leadership, and , are receiving applications for mem-1 bershlp from all over the country, j As things now are, many of these boy organizations -run in a haphaz ard fashion.

Max Pracht with coat off busily superintending the laying of the foundation for his new dwelling house. Since the announcement that the council has decided to build the new city hall building on the city plaza there has been much regret expressed at the curtailment of street space that it will make necessary, and the woolen mills, accompanied by Mrs. Atkinson, left Monday evening.

A press dispatch from Wash ington indicates that the department Intends to make all haste possible. DUPLICATION OF ORGANIZATIONS. Organization, in a Reuse, co-operation. One organization can attain far greater results than a dis organized group of individuals. But when two organizations are formed for the same purpose and with simi lar aims, the result Is a duplication of mechonlcal means and double overhead expense. This is inef ficiency. Beyond the fact that two or three or a dozen sets of officers and executives are as unnecessary as a dozen heads and a dozen sets of clerks each working independently in your store, the greatest objection to duplication of organizations Is in the resultant friction from disparity of opinions regarding the means of attaining an object. This friction would be automatically eliminated by the rule of the majority If the two organizations were replaced by one. The outlny for repairs and gaso line for the big Interurban cars which ply between Ashland and Med ford, carrying from twenty-five to forty-five passengers, is necessarily greater than that for the small cars whose capacity is five to eight pas sengers. In either case you are buy ing for but one engine, but in pro portion the larger outlay for the larger car pays you several hundred per cent more profit. For perhaps twice the outlay to keep the engine of the larger running, you can carry five times as many passengers. The same Is applicable to the executive force, which is the engine of an or ganization. If the object is to transport forty passengers between Ashland anJ Medford, one big car with one driv er's salary and one cost of operation, wants to make a game of all drill or class work, The average man has to think very actively to subdue these resourceful minds and squirming muscles.
