But after all there is really nothing
strange in thinking of John M. Haines
in connection with John. Certainly
at least nobody would approach John
Haines and attempt to try any undue

to slip right out; you can't help it

John Haines just now is a Repub-

In the strict sense of the word as it
is generally interpreted, Haines is
anything but politician" In other
words, he will not make use of illegi-
innate methods and try to form COM

degree revert to his own good as

voter in this great Gem State of ours.
In many respects John Haines re-

RAILROAD ADVERTISING
Advertising Sign Post Draws Lessons
for Business Men From Rail-
road Advertising.

Every business man, merchant,
manufacturer-yes, even the fruit
growers and ranchers-can find a
good lesson from the railroads. They
will find in this lesson not only bust
ness methods aimed to make the bus
mess profitable, but also cooperative
methods that not only increase busi-
ness for the railroads, but make pos
sible the building of towns and for
tunes for the population. How this
is done is the object of the following.
Editors Note.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-12-05

The grocer sells groceries,
The merchant tailor sells cloth
ing
The druggist sells drugs
The railroad sells transportation.
Therefore, a railroad is no differ
ent than any other business.
1t has certain commodity to sell,
like any other business firm.
The grocer's clerks must be polite
and courteous or customers would
fall off.
The one thing impressed on all
railroad employees is courtesy to the
public at all times. That is why the
railroad of today is one of the big
gest factors of the worlds progress.
The merchant who is above board
who conducts his business on le-
gitimate basis-is the one who sue
ceeds.
Today there ar no secrets between
the railroads and the public.
That is why the railroads are so
successful.
People look upon them as their
own property and patronize them ac-
cordingly.
And now here is the first point in
our lesson:
If the railroads can transport 49,
100000 people 6,594, 100000 miles,
or 265,OOO times around the world,
without one single passenger losing
his life through collision or derail-

Brown who came to Oakesdale,
Wash, six years ago.
Her chief assets were her three
children.
She obtained the privilege of MAX
ing five acres produce.
Through industry she was able to
hold the five acres and add five more.
Her children worked with her, and
in the evening Widow Brown acted
as leader in an agricultural class with
her children as students-studying
and discussing methods of intensive
farming, and rotation of crops.
The result was that their little
farm enabled them to win the fine
silver cup at the Oakesdale, Wash,
fair, offered by the O.-W, R. & N.
railroad for the best general exhibit.
The third point in the lesson from
the railroads is the cooperation it
renders between manufacturers and
retailers-in other words, deliver
ing the goods" after they are made.
There is hardly business in the
country that is not dependent on the
railroads.
If it were not for their fast eX-
press, fast freights, commodious cars,
unlimited service
How would the butcher get his cat
tie?
The druggist his drugs?
The clothier his clothing?
The size of the freight cars en-
ables greater shipments-th power of
the locomotive guarantees quick de-
| livery-the reasonable rates make
possible economical shipping to the
public.
1t is only by cooperation that rail
roads expand, and it is just to the
amount that individual firms" CO.
opearte can they gauge their expan-
sion.
The fourth point from the lesson
of the railroads is advertising.
If it were not for advertising, it's
power, influence and far-reaching eff
fect-the Pacific coast would not be
what it is today. Everybody recog-
nizes this fact.
If the retailer would stop to con-
slider that the hundreds of thousands
of dollars that the railroads have ex-
pended profitably, in publicity, to-
ward the growth of the Pacific coast,
and that they-the retailers. one and
all-in their own particular field
can accomplish the same result in
their own interest and that of their
city-in roportion-they would
realize that it pays to give time and
study to cooperation, not only in
their own circles, but as whole for
their city and state.

The second lesson, and one of ex-
treme Importance, that the railroads
teach us is that of cooperation.
Cooperation in business is becom-
ing more and more popular each year.
Its effect is being seen more readily.
1t is evidenced by the big industrial
and mercantile houses of the world.
They are finding it pays, and pays
well. The large manufacturers CO.
operate with their jobbers, who, in
turn, cooperate with the retailers.
Perhaps the one cause that has
made the Pacific coast states what
they are today has been the o-opera-
tion of the railroads, such as the
O.-W. r. & N, S. p. and U. p, etc.
They not only start their co-opera-
tion by reducing their rates to get
people out here, but they go farther
and cooperate after they are on the
ground. They advertise extensively
and extensively in the east-(1 and
2)-calling attention to the wonder
full country we have. Then they de-
liver the new inhabitants over to us
for what? That we may sell them
land, building material, food, cloth
ing, drugs, etc.
And after the land is titled and
crops are growing, these same rail-
roads start educational campaigns
between the different now rapidly

safety, is what brought the dining
car up to its present high state of
perfection.
1t would be hard to believe, if we
were still in the olden days, that we
could dine just as completely and
satisfactorily, going at 40 or so miles
an hour, as one can in a hotel.
Yet that is what happens on such
well-known railroads as the O.-W. r
& ~, S. P, and U. P.
Business efficiency is what has
made this possible. In fact, there is
hardly better example of business
efficiency than the railroad of today.
And this same business efficiency
can be applied to any business-not
in the same way, of course. Differ
ent businesses demand different
treatments, but the object is the same
in all cases-to bring the particular
business up to it's highest efficiency
to customer and seller alike.

that Chance, who has wanted to leave

ranged for him to be at the park and

to postpone the game, which is only a
practice game with Gordon, but it is an
annual affair and the first game of the
season, and the Gordon authorities
would not agree to a postpOnement.
So the students will have the privilege
