Ashland Impresses
All g Nebraska Men

Mr.. and Mrs. w. R. Mellor of Lin
coin, Neb., and Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Roberts of Fremont, Neb., arrived in
Ashland Saturday night on train 54
and left for Portland uh rain IA Sun
day morning. They are studying the
resources of the country as they jour
ney along and stopped off here in or
der to make the trip from Ashland to
Eugene by daylight.
Mr.. Mellor is president of the
American Association of Fairs and
Expositions and is secretary of the
Nebraska State Board of Agriculture.
The latter position carries with it the
secretaryship Of the Nebraska State
Fair Mr. Roberts is president of the
Nebraska State Board of Agriculture.
NJ. j. Duryea called on these visit
ors Saturday evening and arranged
to show them about Ashland early
Sunday morning. Fortunately train
ia was nearly two hours late, so
there was ample time to show the
party what is being done to make
Ashland a resort. Leaving the Hotel
Oregon about Z o'clock, the visitors
were taken over the entire park
project, including ride over Glen
view Drive and through various parts
of the city. All of our schools were
shown to them. After seeing Ash
land thoroughly the party was taken
over the Pacific Highway to Medford,
passing en- route some of the big
commercial orchards of the valley.
Every member of the party made
some expression of pleasure at hav-
ing seen our city and the country
about it. All seemed favorably i'm
pressed with the beauty of this part
of Oregon. Mr.. Mellor and Mr.. Rob-
erts were, naturally, interested in the
Rogue River valley from an agricul-
tural standpoint, They spoke of the
constantly increasing acreage of al
falfa in Kansas and Nebraska and
what it was doing to make the farm
ers prosperous and its value to the
dairyman and stockraiser. Both of
these men expressed the opinion that
we ought to work for irrigation, plant
more alfalfa, grow more corn, raise

Storm Will Bring
Ducks to klamath

Klamath Falls Herald: Duck and
geese hunters are beginning to get
restless. Every day and every night
the geese are passing on their way
south, according to farmers from sur
rounding sections. Many of them
are stopping for a meal or so. How
ever, they are the vanguards of the
main army-the wise old honkers
which can not be drawn within gun
shot.
But at the first storm the shooting
will be good. The first day the rain
falls and the winds blow there will be
flights of ducks from the north to
the marshes now only inhabited by
homegrown birds too wary to ap-
proach. Hunters don't have to allow
any time for the birds to travel from
the northern marshes, either, for as
bird experts know, ducks and geese
cross a continent almost in day, at
from 60 to 100 miles per hour.
The geese are flying high and in
large flocks. AS was noticed yester-
day by a group of men watching a
band, every few minutes the flock
changes leaders. Some goose will
push forward out Of the V-shaped

line and become the apex of the v,
relieving some other member of the
flock.
The reason for this was immedi-
ately explained, when it is remem-
bered that the birds are moving at
an S0-mile-an-hour gait. The air
resistance must be tremendous, as
any one who has travelled even 40
miles an hour without a wind shield
knows, and especially so at that high
altitude. The bird who heads the V
of course gets the full force of the
wind on his six feet spread of wings
and the other birds only receive a
glancing blow. Consequently the
leader gets tired after a few minutes
and another of the band takes his
place. And yet these birds are called
geese!

SAVING MOUNT VERNON SITE
FROM DESTRUCTION

The high bluff on which stands
Mount Vernon, the home of our first
president, has for years been in dan
ger of gradually sliding into the Po-
tomac. This danger became acute a
few years ago when ii was discovered
that a new landslide was beginning
that threatened to destroy the broad
lawn in front of the mansion itself.
If not the foundations OF the mansion
itself, and engineering work, recent
ly completed, was begun at that time
to save the historic site from further
damage. The ground slopes from
the mansion to the edge of the bluff
and from this point drops steeply for
hundred feet or more to the edge
of the Potomac. The river at this
point is wide tidal estuary and the
action of the waves has caused
steady erosion at the foot of the bluff.
Underlying the bluff are strata OF
sand, clay and soft sandstone. which,
on investigation, were found to be
saturated with water, and this, COM
bined with the erosion of the waves,
has resulted in landslides, that have

A Girls Best Friend,

Remember that the best friend, the
best confidant, is your mother. Have
no friend with whom she is not ac-
quainted. Make her interested in
what you are doing, and if the trials
of her life are many, just remember
that to gain sympathy you must give
it. Make yourself your mothers
companion and friend, then she will
be yours. Do nothing that you con-
ceal from her, and never believe for
a minute that when you have really
made her understand, she will not
care for what interests you. Mother
isn't very much older than you, after
all-it hasn't been such a long time
since she enjoyed just what you do,
since life seemed as full of brightness
as does yours, since she made as
many inquiries and tried to think

THE NATURE STUDENTS.

These are days of automobiles,
baseball and golf, when people take
their pleasures in speed, yelling or
costly games. What has become OF
the simple old times when so many
people used to find their recreation
in studying botany, splitting up
rocks to find their geological forma-
ton, or learning the notes OF birds?
Are there any nature students left?
II you ask the modern business
man to find relief from the cares OF
his office by going out into the woods
and learning the names and charac-
teristics of the trees. the plants and
the insects, he would be very much
bored.
Yet every species of birds has its
own fascinations and graces, and 1t
is a pleasure to number them all in
your circle of friends. Every variety
OF tree renders its own service to
mankind, and it is interesting to
know what II has contributed to hui
man life. The outdoor world is a
great stage on which nature is per-
forming her thrilling drama. If
ones eyes can be opened. there is a
world OF beauty and interest in the
quiet seclusion of the woods and
fields.

SIGNED NEWSPAPER ARTICLES.

Some attention has recently been
excited by a proposal made by Will
liam ]. Bryan to the effect that every
newspaper article should be signed
by the reporter or editor who wrote
it. This idea has often been pro-
posed by people who had grievances
against the newspapers.
Manifestly the purpose of such a
custom would be principally to iden-
tify the individual who wrote articles
offering some criticism or making
some damaging statements. This
would puzzle the average newspaper
writer. Where the writer has to spend
his time quarrellng with people over
every little phase in his work, the
temptation is strong to write color
less and milk and water stuff.
The great majority of reporters
and other newspaper writer's are hon
est young fellows that do their best
to present things fairly. If the re-
porter's story is damaging it is usu-
ally because the truth hurts. If the
editors comment is false it reacts
on the newspaper that prints it.
Too many things are hushed up.
II the truth was sure to come out,
people would be more cautious about
their acts. Young men running down
rumors and printing the truth as
nearly as they can learn it perform
a useful service.
They should be given all possible
protection so long as they are honest
If they print false statements thai
are damaging, they lose their posi-
tions, which is ample check on in
discretions.
There are other practical objec
tions to signed newspaper articles
but the one named above will always
be sufficient reason against them.
In the case of the smaller newspa
pers it is usually pretty well know
who writes what, so that the indi
vidual writer has already lost mucf
OF the freedom that goes with thu
anonymous work of the large news
paper.

THE GOVERNORS.

When a gathering Of the governors
of the several states was called at
Washington some years ago, enthusi-
astic predictions were made for the
future of these meetings. Some peo-
pie thought that the house of gov
ernors" might become of almost as
much Importance as another house
of congress, by uniting the states in
movements for uniform legislation.
The proceedings of the house OF
governors" due to meet in Boston in
August will not suggest that these
hopes have been in any degree real
lied. The governors will hold pleas
ant and informal debating society, at
which the work of their trade will
be discussed, much as when the edit
ors or the photographers or the man
ufacturers get together to talk over
their mutual interests.
This does not mean that a govern
or of state is not an important per-
sonage. Probably he is more so than
he was twenty years ago. The old
style executive was supposed to adopt
a dignified seclusion, making recon-
mendations in an academic way.
Commonly the legislature dropped
them in the wastebasket. These are
more impatient days. The people
want to get things done. They look
at a governor as their executive
agent for the relief of thousand
needs, most of which are out of his
province altogether.
The failure of the "house of gov
ernors" as a positive national force
does not indicate that the governors
as a whole are a group Of mediocre
men. Rather the difficulty is the in
tense individuality of all of our local
communities.
Legislative bodies, from the United
States senate down to city council,
are jealous of their own prerogatives.
They are suspicious of causes and
movements originating at distance.
The fact that the house of governors
wanted a certain thing might hurt
the passage of a proposed act in
many legislatures, rather than help

PROTECTION FOR THE SMALL
STOCKHOLDER.

The failure of certain minority
stockholders of the New Haven rail-
road to recover anything on their
suit for $1O2, 100000 from present
and former directors, emphasizes the
difficulties and risks confronted by
small corporation stockholders.
In these days of financial giants,
the possessor of five, ten or fifty
shares is but a pygmy investor.
There is just one thing that he can
do. however, and that is to read such
monthly and annual reports as his
company may put out with thought
full attention. Stocks of corporations
that do not make such reports are in
general good securities to avoid un-
less one knows the managers person
ally.
Rapid increases in the debts of a
corporation should be viewed by the
small stockholder with suspicion. An
other sign of weakness is the pay
ment of usual dividends while ap-
propriations for maintenance and de-
probation are cut down. If an in
vestor can not act intelligently after
careful reading of such statistics, he
would better put his money into a
savings bank or real estate mortgage
near home, which for the great ma
jority of people is much the more
desirable course.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Husbands Past.

! have read many articles in your
valuable Home Circle column about
happy homes. To judge from then
one would think that it rested en-
tirely with the wife to make home
happy. All the advice is to her; she
must make her husband happy.
suppose 1t does not matter if she il
miserable herself, so she pleases heI
husband. | think the husband has
really more to do with making a
home; he lays the foundation him
self, and has the power to make il
good and strong to Withstand the
hardships of life, and he can make
it weak and tottering so it will de
stroy his peace as well as his wife's
When he takes his young wife home
she looks to him with all the love and
confidence of a child to its mother.
He has the same influence over her
child. Everything is new, and she
does not see her way clearly, but
trusts to him for guidance. She
wants to please him; he is her world.
From him she learns the first lesson
of real life. A real man, gentle
man, will not need anyone to tell
him what course to pursue; he will
give her his tenderest care and teach
her to respect him, and respect is
the safest guard you can place over
a woman's heart If there were more
good men there would be more happy
husbands. Mothers should take the
same pains in raising sons as they
do with their daughters, among other
things teach them refinement, teach
them the value of good woman's S
love and try to save some poor wom-
an life of misery. There are other
ways to kill a woman besides shoot
ing with a gun or stabbing with a
knife. You can crush their hearts,
starve their minds, as well as bodies,
practice cruelty to their children.
There are husbands who have all
these things to answer for some day.
God will surely hold them account
able for the lives they destroy. He
calls himself a man, he is husband
and father. Didn't he promise to be
kind to her in sickness, and has he
kept that promise? No, when she is
too sick to work he has important
business off somewhere, he does not
send any one to stay with her, either;
neither does he provide food for her
and her little ones. He promised,
too, to stand between her and the
world, yet she is forced to 60 among
the neighbors and seek work to buy
food for her children. While he sits
day after day reading, his wife cooks,
milks, sweeps, washes, irons, cuts
wood, works in the garden and then
has to work for neighbors. What is
she after twenty years of such life?
Only a wornout money-saving ma
chine. A SUBSCRIBER.
