Tho inoinboi's complained because tho public, showed no interest and voted a ton-mill lovy, and Chairman Cochran rook occasion to irrill critics of Mod ford schools, pronounc ing thorn superior to any schools in tho stato. nut except ing I'ortlaiKl. On this point, there is a slight disagreement with Mr. rochran, for if Mod fort I schools are tho host in tho stato. the schools of the state need "fixing" badly. Tho reason that scarcely anyone beside the school hoard attended the mooting was because no one know it was to be hold, except, the board. There was no public notice of the mooting, no adver tisement, of it not even the newspapei-s know' of it. This lack of publicity is tho trouble with the Medford school boa ril. The meetings are private, no one knows when tho are held or what is done. The board acts as if it was a private corporation yet even private corpora tions must not.ifv stockholder of mcetimjs. ISvery taxpayer and citizen is a stockholder in the pub is 1. 1 1' -II If.. I- ---1 1 I I ! I ,1 ' I" iicKcmiiusauii an meetings given opportumtv to he present. 1 he board is spending the ue is never taicen into commence ami (toes not know what is going on. .In the six years' residence in Medford, the editor of tlie Mail Tribune has never known when a school board meeting was to be hold, nor where it was held, nor what was done. Nor has a school meeting ever boon public or attended by a representative of the press. And if the .newspapers do not know, how much less can the public know'? No wonder there is little interest manifested in the schools how can, there ho. when the public is not kept informed and interested in the schools and their manage ment? And when a district mooting is hold and nobody turns out, because no one knows of the meeting, who is to blame but the school board? If the school board wants the public to be interested in scnooi atiairs, tliey want to attitude. No wonder it meets part of the people. Publicity could do the schools no harm -it is onlv feared by those who have something to hide. NOT EMPIRE BUILDING "PVIFFICULTV of raising -' son why the Oregon Trunk is not extended" to a con nection with the Pacific & Eastern by the Hill system. Almost the same day comes the ' announcement that two palatial stunners will be built by the Hill lines at a cost ot ?o,UUU,UOO to run between San Francisco and As toria, to handle the world's fair traffic. Docks and facili ties at Astoria will be installed at a cost' of an additional million or two. A few days later conies the announcement that .$5,000,000 is to be spent at once by the II ill linos in the construction of a large power plant at Clear Lake, east of Eugene. Here are eleven millions of money raised, despite hard times talk, for Hill enterprises in Oregon that will develop no part of Oregon as the same money in a railroad would. The six million expended for steamers to keep people from going through Oregon would have built and equipped the railroad from Hind to Medford in first-class shape, withji )ranch to Klamath .Kails. The five millions for the power project would have extended the lino to the coast and left, a million for Neither the Oregon" Trunk ever pay expenses as railroads, because they arc merelv disconnected units of a system. The Oregon' Trunk inus'r look for tonnage to the Jackson and Ivlamath timber belt and the fruit, produce and valley and Klamath region If James .T. Hill wants to builder he had bettor stick to country, Instead of using the money to build steamers that only further develop tin! city.
