moral nature being formed and his
general tendency toward personal
recognition.
The adolescent period of youth and
young manhood was divided into the
period of positive belief, from Il to
IL years of age, is followed by the
negative, or distrustful period, lead
ing up to 25 years of age. These
periods were both illustrated from
life experiences and a final plea was
made to the boys to make their
young manhood home beautiful for
wholesome thoughts and higher aims
and ambitions.
The quartet then sang a number
of songs while the tables were being
set for tamale feed. One hundred
and fifty tamales, six gallons OF choc-
olate, with other things in propor-
ton, seemed to disappear like magic,
an dthe boys joined in singing the
choruses of college songs while stor-
les were told by interested Elks who
were present to aid in serving the
feast.
The next meeting will be an open
one, and the parents of the boys are
especially urged to be present as well
as all friends of this movement. Mr..
Vining will give the crucial talk of
his series on the subject, Qualities
That Insure Success" The material
for this lecture has been secured
largely through personal interviews
with the prominent men of our coun-
try, and Mr.. Vining presents this lee
ture with the entire belief that the
qualities therein illustrated and APP
plpied to life experiences will posi-
lively assure young mans success
in life. The presence of the parents
is especially desired that these quail
ties may be later discussed and pro-
NOTED in the home life.

Alaska r. r. Bill
Passes the Senate

publicans and Senator Poindexter.
progressive, voted for the Alaska
railroad bill that passed the senate
Saturday by vote of 46 to 16. Sen
ators Bacon, Hoke Smith and Will
liams, democrats, voted against it.
The bill places upon the president
the responsibility for the selection OF
a route from tidewater to the in
terror of ALASKA, and the construc-
ton. equipment and operation or
leasing of such lines as he may con-
struct or buy to constitute this route.
The broadest powers are conferred
upon the president in carrying out
his duties. The bill provides for a
redemption fund into which shall be
paid 10 per cent of all moneys de-
rived from the sale of public lands
in Alaska or of coal or mineral con-
tents thereof. Machinery utilized in
the construction OF the Panama canal
is made available for the construc-
tion work.
Unavailing efforts to reduce the
s40,000,000 appropriation authoriz-
ed for the work were made during
the closing hours of the debate and
among the other amendments defeat
ed were the Norris amendment for
government steamships to Alaska
ports. The Poindexter amendment
for the sale of Alaska coal at cost to
Pacific coast points, and the Cum
minis substitute limiting the construc-
ton to one main line.
The bill was amended before its
passage TO require the senate's ap-
proval of appointment of civil en-
gineers receiving over $4,000 per an
nun; to forbid any payment for the
good will OF the existing railways;
giving injured employees the right to
sue the government and limiting the
governments defense to those pro-
Vided for in the final employers liza
bility law of 1908. 4 similar Alaska
bill is pending in the house.
The action OF the senate brings a
step nearer the development Of Alas
ka, whose resources have only been
touched by progress. Its completion
means almost rs much to the north
west proper rs the Panama canal.

ness men who had worked for 81 pei
day and less. and they were unani.
nous in their condemnation of the
modern demand for high wages OF
no work.
E. N. Smith stated that he had
worked for months for his board and
that when he had money in the bank,
and that he did not believe in feeding
men who would neither work or save
their money.
Archie Million was very emphatic
in his belief that they should not be
fed, either here or elsewhere. He
did not believe they would work ii
they had chance.
w. 0. Dickerson declared it an out
rage to feed such people.
j. r. Wick said do not propose
to donate either directly or Indirectly
to such people if ! can help it. The
city should refuse to feed them.
Stuart Saunders, not in a position
to be quoted, but told of what one
had told him of the joys of hoboing.
H. o. Frohbach-If we have got to
feed them we ought to have rock
pile, and they should be made to
work
l.. j. Orres-I do not think it is a
good thing. These hoboes are good
advertisers and tell each other. If
you feed them all the hoboes will
come to Ashland. If they are fed
they ought to be made to work. 1t
is not right for us who have to work
to feed them. Put ball and chain
on them and make them work. 9th
ers will then keep away.
Charles Permission, day laborer-
Any of them could earn enough in
the summer to last them through the
winter. There ought to be a rock
pile, These fellows have it easier
than l do.
H. l.. Whited-Hoboing is an oc-
cupation, and to feed them is to en-
courage them in that means of MAX
ing a livelihood.
viii Dodge-The city can't feed
them with my consent.
w. w. Mitchell-No work, no food.
F. F. Whittle-Am not in favor of
feeding them. I do not think the
city has a right to encourage them
by feeding them.
This list could be continued almost
indefinitely, the sentiment being
practically unanimous that a rockpile
or other labor would tead to keep
them from heading for Ashland. AS
one business man put it, They would
have a trail half way up Grizzly to
avoid work"

Hobo Amy Invaded
Ashland on SATURDAY.

The hobo army which has been
levying tribute on the cities to the
north arrived on a freight train Sat
urday afternoon, and if there was
any sympathy for them on the part
of those at the depot it vanished
when they got a good look at the
crwod. They were certainly hard
lockers, not in the way of destitution,
for there was none of the "pinched
and hungry look Of the child of the
tenement" about them, but, as sew
eral were heard to remark, a major
ity of them looked as if they would
kill man for five dollars at any
time. They We're a typical bunch
and reminded the Tidings reporter
Of the class OF men who are the bane
of the contractor-the class which
always strike camp just before sup
per time, hire out and get two meals
and then sneak off when it is time
to go to work in the morning. There
was one exception. One working
man with his roll came in on the
same train, but he kept we'll aloof
from the gang and did not go with
them to the city soup house.
The crowd was met at the depot
by Chief Porter and Officer Gault
and after conference with the lead
er were taken to the hose house on
Fourth street, Mayor Johnson going
down later to confer with the leader.
1t was noticeable that the leader and
the woman who was travelling on the
passenger train went to the Depot
Hotel lunch room and ate. The lead
er wore a high-priced sweater,
nearly new, up-to-date hat and, taken
all in all, was we'll dressed, while
the woman who consorted with him
was well dressed and carried a leath-
er suitcase.
After reaching the Fourth street
flre hall the bunch was told that they
could stay there by the fire that
night and that they would be given
something to eat in the morning, but
that there would be no supper fur
nished. This was not satisfactory,
so they left town. Several were up
town begging at the stores and else
where, but few came uptown.
The Tidings representative inter
viewed number of citizens who were
at the depot, and of business men
later, and the sentiment was prac-
tically unanimous that such bands
should not be fed and that some sort
of compulsory work should be sup
piled at which they could be made
to labor. In these interviews it was
remarkable the percentage of bust

two OF the best games to be seen on
the Ashland floor this season. The
Corvallis boys were state champion
ship contenders last year and they
are coming down with a strong line
up, having the same team they had
last year. The home boys, while
more or less inexperienced and shy
of veteran players, have had some
valuable lessons taught them in the
three games played this season and
are out to win. If you want to see
some good games, turn out next Fri

lures that he had taken in the recent
Olympic games in Sweden. He ex-
planned the proper forms OF the diff

belief in a general athletic develop
ment. He told how the university
squads were picked from the differ
ent class teams and explained that
this method OF picking teams was
much easier and better for a coach
than picking team from green men
and developing them later. Among
the pictures he had to show on the
screen were those of the famous In
dian, Jim Thorpe, Ralph Rose and

Complete Safety in Flying is Assured
by OIville Wright.

Dayton, Ohio.-To fly from Chi
cago to New York in day with per-
feet safety in an aeroplane, to enjoy
luncheon and dinner 'a-wing" with
out danger, and fit over Broadway
to an aeroplane garage before theater
time, no doubt will be wholly posi-
BILE within year, is the opinion of
| Orville Wright, noted inventor and
airman, who promises the public an
aeroplane that will be as safe as the
old family carriage. In the early
spring he will show the waiting pub
lie his invention, he declares.
! The answer is an automatic stabil-
izer, which Wright says makes aero
planning as simple and safe as auto
mobiling and absolutely "fool-proof. >"
High-speed air craft, handled by am
ateurs, will easily make the Chicago
to New York trip, or any equal dis
tance in any direction from any point.
Filling the gasoline tank en- route
will be the simple necessity of shut
ting off the engine and letting the
stabilizer do the rest. The new de-
vice, Wright claims, in addition to
insuring the perfect equilibrium in
flight, will bring the machine to
earth with safety, without necessity
of hazardous volplaning. 1t is only
question of time until the air line
route will be the mode of travel for
the busy business man, the butcher
the baker and the candlestick maker,
Wright believes.
I'VE have invented an automatic
stability device which will revolution
ize flight" said Wright in discussing
his invention. 1T will make flying
fool-proof or as near so as anything
can be. Our device insures lateral
as we'll as fore and aft stability, and
it will not get out of order, and in
sures absolute stability in flight"
Orville Wright and his assistants
| oiV WI hlhS tNcly udy On IH6 new
device. A short time ago it was test
ed. Wright himself made seven COM
plete circuits of the Wright aviation
field here. His hands were not on
the controlling bars. A smooth, even
flight was the result. Then the plane
started to dip. the stabilizer came to
the rescue and righted it. Danger
Gus angles were executed with the
some result Wright couldn't turn
turtle when he tried.
The stabilizer prevents the plane
from rising too quickly and sharply
and if the speed falls below the point
required for an even keel it automat-
ically directs the machine to the
ground.
Officials OF the postal service are
said to be investigating the new de-
vice preparatory to the delivery of
the United States main in western
states where the mail is now carried
by stage over long distances.
