Association of the Pacific Coast Advertising clubs for five days next week. The caravan, under the direc tion of William I'. Merry, left 1'ortland at y o'clock this morn ing, following ceremonies sur rounding the departure of the ships, including a farewell speech by .Mayor Ltuker, posing for news paper, commercial and motion pic ture cameras, and the presenta tion of roses to be presented to the mayor of Oakland, with the best wishes of 1'ortland. The caravan was made up of W. Hayeck, S. J. Callahan, Carl Kleebl Charles Kegula, Charles Stidd. Judge Fred Stadter, II. H. ltobln- son, Anne Ivell and' Marian Van Heoyoe. The m e m hers were brought to the Hotel Medford through the courtesy of the Hcher er Motor company, furnishing a fleet of new Uuick automobiles. The visitors were officially wel comed to Medford at the airport by .Carl Hwlgart. president of the Medford chamber of commerce, and by C. T. Baker, executive secretary. Following an address of wel come by James Stevens, well known Medford singer who until a short time ago was located In Portland, the luncheon meeting at the hotel was turned over to Mr. Merry, culling on Medford and Portland men for short re marks. Discuss Airport. Medford's new airport, under construction north of the city, was the main topic of discussion, and was an example used why Medford would be wise In consid ering the establishment of an ad vertising club, making possible a more concerted effort to adver tise to the general public ( what the city has in its establishment. This point was stressed by Mr. Merry, who . told of the benefits derived from the Portland club, and wan also dwelt upon nt short length by Miss Ajine Keil, execu tive secretary of the club. Ted Haker. apparently well known to members of the cara van, described the new airport to the visitors and extended to them an invitation to attend the dedicatory ceremonies to he held hereupon lts( completion. The in vitation was' nccepted and It is likely a delegation of ad club members will be present when the dedication Is held. Due to lack of time, long speeches were not made, and meeting was ad journed at 1 clock. However, interesting remarks were made by C. K. Cates. F. K. Callahan of Portland and II. H. Ttobinson. second vice-piesidentof the port land club. The Portland visitors came to Medford in two West Const planes. one a 12-passcnger Hach plane and the other n four-passenger Hyun ship, (iasollne for the trip is being furnished by the Asso ciated (HI company. Medford was the only Oregon stop and Corning. Calif.. Is the only other stop, be fore the caravan reaches Its desti nation, where the visitors, like In Medford. will he transported to hotels through the courtesy of thej Uuick agency. I Lieutenant C. F.

There has also been some talk that a place might be offered to William M. Jardine, former secre tary of agriculture,- who resigned from the cabinet late In the Coolidge administration.
