Ashland folks are proud of their schools. They
are proud of their athletic, teams, and,, it would be a
splendid thing if this pride could find outlet in an
auto caravan of fathers and mothers to the neigh
boring cities every time the. high school boys play
away from home.
A GOOD4SBLEGTION
The normal school, in Our belief, will never re
gret the selection of Walter Hughes as athletic di
rector to guide the students during their first year of
athletic endeavor. Hughes is’ a capable, clean-cut
yonng man who instills the spirit of sportsmanship
and fair play in his charges. He is out to win, of
course, but he is out to win fairly and honorably.
Our observation has been that Hughes is in every
wav comiieteiit and will make an ideal mentor for
the normal school boys.

ASHLAND
’Plie greatest htisines» deal fever proposed in the
Northwest is contemplated in the consolidation into
one working organization of a mäjority of lading
sawmills in Washington and Oregdn.
The lumber- industry, which is so essential to
prosperity in Oregon and Washington, has been
handicapped by its inability to adjust itself to ever-
changing business and economic -conditions. Thia
has been due to the fact that no unity of action could
be secured among different mills which, by force of
ciTonmetances arising from taxation problems, forest
fires, transportation questions, marketing, etc., were
forced to cut their timber whether they wished to or
