Train No. IS, to which was at
tached the private car occupied by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton, was nearly two hours late when
il reached Ashland Saturday night.
II had been planned by the Medford
Commercial Club to take the party
from the train and bring them to
Ashland by auto, and the Ashland
club had also planned a ride around
the city, but the darkness interfered
The train was met, however, by a
representative of the Commercial
Club, Southern Pacific Agent Kramer
and representative of the Tidings.
When the train arrived Mr. Nc
Adoo was lying down, but in COM
pany with his daughter and her
friend who is travelling with them
came out and visited the Ashland ex-
hibit. Secretary Houston expressed
himself as more than pleased with the
exhibit and expressed regret that he
could not have seen the valley in
daylight.

the west holding hearings concernin

and desires of the people owning land
adjoining the highways The result
mas been a see-sawing and haggling
over the work, doing a little here to
satisfy this man and little there to
satisfy that man, with the result that
America has spent money enough to-
have paved roads on almost every,
section line in the country, and has
wasted many times more in addition
al expense in getting crops to mar
ket, just because of ignorance and Il
desire to please this man and that
man.
For fifty years every man who has
come to Ashland from down the val.
ley has had to climb a steep hill JUST
because the owner OF the Eagle Mills
fifty years aso got an injunction to-
prevent the county road being put
where 1t belonged because II let his
mill to one side.
1t would be unwise TO repeat that
mistake in locating the highway and
the writer feels satisfied that the mis-.
take VII not be made. This state
ment is made after y talk with Mr..
Bowlby and Mr.. Hin in the matter,
and that without reference to the de,

SCHOOLMENS CLUB MET AT
ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL SATURDAY
Education for civic life.

.. Education for civic life.
g. Education for recreatiopal sc.
tiyites.
At this point Mr. Aver paused to
discuss the problem OF how best to
utilize the spare time created by
short hours in the days labor. Ii
was pointed out that few years ago
there was no leisure for the man who
toiled, while under the present regime
of short hours several hours each day
could be spent away from the shop.
Hence the question arises, how shall
these hours be spent in order that
society may profit by having them?
7. Education for morals and for
religion.
AT the conclusion Of the lecture the
hour was given to general discussion
OF the points made by Mr.. Aver. Mosr
of the members of the club entered
into this with enthusiasm, each eager
to find something helpful for his own
community.
At 1870 the session was resumed.
Prof Bowman OF Medford in the
chair. The business matters of the
club were discharged and Superinten-
dent Collins of Medford gave care
fully prepared discussion of How
Best to Conduct Teachers Meetings
Three methods were given:
l. The general teachers meeting
in which the matters of general ma
ture should be discussed and direc-
tions and policies applicable to the
whole system announced. Mr. Col
Inns said he had found that the Read
ing Circle work through special lead
ers could well be pursued in these
general meetings.
2. The second plan was the group
system. In these gatherings only the
teachers of a special group should
meet. Here problems pertinent to-
these grades could be considered
3. The last group should be known
as building sessions. The principal
should conduct these meetings and
discuss local problems peculiar to that
schools neighborhood.
The question was opened for dis
cussion, and so hearty was the re-
sponse by the club members that the
chair had to announce that it was

SAMUEL HILL, ROADBUILDER,
VISITED ASHLAND FRIDAY

just to visit it and traverse the Pa
cific Highway.
The Pacific Highway is one of Mr..
Hills pets and he says that if he
lives a few years he will see q paved
highway from Vancouver, B. c., to
Tijuana, Mexico.
Mr.. Hill is not a good roads en-
thusiast from the point of the tourist
but from the point OF the farmer and
property owner. He says that the
problem of freight rates is going to
be largely solved by the building of
good roads and motor trucks. In
Washington already there are COM
panies running trucks on regular
schedules and pick up the farmers
produce at his door and deliver it at
any home in the neighboring cities.
In many places there are also motor
busses which the farmers wife
can board with her basket of eggs,
go quickly and cheaply to town and
do her trading and return with her
basket of groceries and be set down
at her own door. In England today,
he states, one can travel all over the
island in motor buses as cheaply and
quickly as in a train, and often more
SO.
One of the reasons upon which Mr.
Hill bases the belief that the high
ways will have 4 great effect in ad-
justing and keeping down freight
rates is that the highway is like the
sea, open to all, and that it will be
impossible for any truck company to
raise prices too high, as the moment
they do the citizens will put on their
own trucks. The man with a single
truck can operate just as cheap il not
cheaper than the company can oper-
ate each of its trucks, and thus the
highway will have the same effect
as the waterways OF the world in
keeping down freights.
Mr.. Hill prophesies that in very
few years the valley will be served
by motor trucks and buses making
hourly trips throughout the valley
on an hourly schedule, delivering
produce at the homes in the cities
and goods at the doors of the farm
ers.
