PORTLAND, Ore., Dei. C -California
and ins Southern raclflc have won
then- light to prevent tlio separation of
the Southern '.Pacific and Central Pa-'
(tfflc systems, inl the opinion of ex-'
Governor Oswald West, who has just
returned from attendance at tho hear
ings before the Interstate commerce'
commission In Washington. If this
proves to be correct, West declares
Oregon has lost the. greatest oppor
tunity for development In recent
yearB.
Success will be due to the complete
organization of the Southern Pacific's
publicity and the united front put up
-by California clVic and traffic organi
zations, he says. Incidentally, the ex
governor takes a shot at the neutral
stand of tho Portland clKimber of com
merce in the fight.
lie said:
"This unmerger fight is, If I am not
mistaken going to result in California,'
netting everything and Oregon noth
ing. Practically every western and
southwestern state was ably represent
ed at the hearing and all except Ore:
son. wore there knowing just what
they wanted and were out to get It.
"San Francisco was lined up with
the Southern Pacific and was given
aid by Portland interests who seemed
to be more concerned in the develop
ment of California than In that of Orc-son.
The people here, at least a large
number of them, were fooled into be
lieving that the unmerglng of the
Southern Pacific and Control Pacific
railroads would result in an Impair
ment of service and an increase In
rates over the lines of tho Southern
Pacific, There was not a chance of
nny such thing happening. Regard
less of what disposition the interstate
commerce commission made of the
matter tho Southern Pacific and its
present service would be fully pro
tected and in no manner Impaired."

ASHLAND, Dec. 6. (Special to
Mall Tribune.) With"' 200 pons,
COO fowls in ' all, some from
Portland's finest show birds, the
Southern Oregon Poultry show open
ed at Ashland yesterday with flying
colors.- Tho writer has covered the
leading poultry shows of the west
coast, and can assure the local asso
ciation their exhibit of poultry ranks
with the best. I have never seen a
better display of rabbits than is now
being Bhown here. It exceeds in num
ber the great Portland Rabbit show
at the Pacific International Livestock
exhibit in November.
The quality of the chickens is high,
especially in the barred Plymouth
Rock and Rhode Island Red classes.
The Red Wing Poultry yard of Med-
ford, P. M: Bollou, manager, showed
finest birds In the Rhode Island Red
class, with Ernest Webb of Central
Point, a close runner up. All popular
breeds of poultry are on display, as
well as many varieties of waterfowl.
Including Toulouse geese, . Indian
Runners and Mallard ducks.
Medford and Ashland are to be con
gratulated on blue ribbons won In
good competition with birds from
larger shows.
. This is a show worth going far to
see, and every one interested in
standard bred poultry and rabbits
should make it a point to attend on
one of the remaining days until Fri
day night. A big program at the
Armory every evening.

THESE two are Uncle Josh and Ephrniih Holbrook, proprietor of
"The Old Homestead" and the village store, respectively, at. "Can
zey, N. H." Father and mother will remember instantly that these
names were used in Denman Thompson's famous play, "The Old Home
stead," but some of the youngsters may have to be reminded that when
it "comes to "runs" this play had everything still has, as a matter of
fact gasping for air.
It has been made into a Paramount picture with Theodore Roberts
as Uncle Josh and George Fawcett as Eph Holbrook.
This is heralded as being one of tho greatest film productions of the
year and is offered this week by the Page theater, boglnnlug today. As
a play "The Old Homestead" has been populnr for nearly forty years.
The big scenes and episodes of the original play have been incorporated
in the picture. One of the biggest scenes in the film Is the cyclone epi
sode, In which nn entire village is shown being swept away. Supporting
Roberts are George Fawcett. T. Roy Barnes, Harrison Ford. Frltzi Ridge
way and Ethel Wales. '
Several brief films and "Betty" Brown's music complete the program.
PARENTS URGED TO
How
Fresh It Is!
It it a pleasure to go to your
cake -box when you have
baked with ROYAL Baking
Powder because it ia in the
nature of a pure Cream of
Tartar Baking Powder to
keep baked foods fresh.
This means a real economy
and is just orte of a hundred
reasons why careful house
keepers insist upon Royal
Baking Powder. Some others
are:
It Contains No Alum
Leaves No Bitter Taste
. Slogan: Visit the schools today.
Dr. Crabtree, secretary of the Na
tional Education association, says,
"Ignorance of conditions causes
apathy."
Do you know that there are 1600
more children In the schools of Jack
son county than two years ogo?
Do you know that with all this In
crease, only two new buildings have
been erected, and those in rural dis
tricts? , .
Do you know that only three consoli
dations of districts have been made
within the two years? This means
that too many , schools still have thirty
or more pupils of all, grades under one
teacher, while consolidation with a
nearby school would furnish two
teachers for the eight grades of tho
combined schools. More than SO or
40 minutes a day could be given to
each grade.
Parents, inspect the school com
pare it with the best school you know.
How can you help toward these best
conditions for your school?
Education of children Is a more im
portant issue for each community than
the management of public utilities, de
velopment of Irrigation systems, or a
revision of taxes.
