Says Car Shortage
Not Fault Of S. P.

Railroads of the Pacific Coast are
not responsible for the car shortage,
says w. R. Scott, general manager
of the Southern Pacific, in a letter
to the public service commission and
a copy of which was received in Ash
land yesterday. Mr.. Scott gives as
surance that everything possible will
be done to relieve the situation in
Oregon. He denies that there had
been discrimination against Oregon
in distributing cars.
Mr.. Scott asserts the shortage is
due to the water shipping congestion
In the east, which has held cars un-
loaded at terminals and prevented
their return to the Coast for unload
ing.
The Southern Pacific has 500 cars
on eastern terminals, the return Of
which it has been unable to secure,
he asserts.
The Southern Pacific also ordered
the construction of 5000 cars early
in the year, but they have not been
delivered because of a shortage Of
labor and Interference of war busi-
ness. Mr.. Scott writes:
Recently the company was advised
that the first shipment would be
ready in few days. Instead of wait
ing for loads, the new cars will be
billed for the west at once, the COM
pany deciding to pay freight on them
Tin order to get them on the system
'as soon as possible.
"The general manager says that
during the month of August 1876
empties were delivered on the Port
land division and 1872 empties are en-
route to the division. During the
month 965 loaded cars were delivered
on the division, and there has been
active and successful cooperation
among nearly all shippers in unload
ing and loading cars"
Mention of the empties sent to the
Oregon division is made, Mr.. Scott
explains, to show that there is no dis
elimination against Oregon.

Warm Days Drive
Throngs to Park

Ashland enjoyed the first really
summery day of the summer yester-
day, the thermometer registering "a
degrees and the evening being de-
lightful. The park was the mecca
for perhaps a thousand people in
the afternoon and the canyon was
lively with picnic parties. Hundreds
came from down the valley.
The band concert last evening at
tracted one of the largest crowds
of the summer, probably $500 peo-
pie enjoying the perfect evening.
Dozens of cars brought up Medford-
ties by the scores and other valley
points were we'll represented. A
number Of Medford society folk re-
mained throughout the evening for
a dance at the Bungalow which was
also well patronized by Ashlanders.
The band concert was greatly ap-
preciated, the Ashland band present
ing a concert of we'll chosen selec-
tions, all of which were very we'll
received. After hearing seven diff
ferent bands here this summer, the
music lovers of the city have about
reached the conclusion that the local
concert band is the equal if not the
superior of any of them.
The mercury rose to the hundred
mark at Medford yesterday, while
the official maximum reported by the
weather observer here was "a de-
grees. The same temperature pre-
vailed the day before and about the
same today.
= The hot weather is driving the
crowds in throngs to Lithia park at
Ashland where the temperature is
several degrees cooler owing to the
water of Ashland creek and the
greenery and shade.

Fruitgrowers
Fear Car Shortage

T. Fruitgrowers of the valley fear
that the car shortage which is affect
ing seriously the lumber industry in
Oregon, is likely to affect the move
ment of the fruit crop from the valley
which is now at its height.
Despite assurances from the rail-
roads that plenty of cars will be
brought in, the growers worry never
.theless. Agent zenas Moody, of the
Pacific Fruit Express, states that
there is no reason for alarm and that
while there are now but about 80
cars in the valley, the railroad seems
to be making a determined effort to
supply the needs of the fruitmen and
the supply of cars is kept moving
steadily.
Approximately 200 carloads of
pears have been shipped from the
valley to date. OF these about three
fourths were shipped from Medford.
Most of these have been Bartletts,
the Howell pear shipments starting
today. Ashland fruitgrowers for the
most part have shipped their pears
for cannery purposes, thus doing
away with packing and grading. The
pears shipped for cannery use are
not shipped in refrigerator cars.
A few years ago carload after car
load of peaches were shipped from
this city but so far this year there
has not been a single car of peaches
shipped from here.
The early varieties are all ripened
and the Muirs are beginning to come
in. There will probably be car
Of these shipped. Many small ship
ments of choice fruit are going out
by parcel post and express.
A total fruit crop of 1000 cars is
now predicted and freer circulation
of cash in the fall will result.

. In division H, class 5, No. II, for
display of five boxes of pears, not
less than three varieties, the prizes
are $25 and $15 instead of $40 and

In No. 1S of the same division
and class the prizes are SIS and $40,
instead of $500 and $3.50.

appropriation of sSOS,659.25 from
the 2Sth legislative assembly.
Normal schools are undoubtedly
needed in Southern Oregon and in
Eastern Oregon. The school at Wes-
ton should be supported. Weston is
an attractive little city with ade-
quate train service, beautiful sur
roundings, agreeable climate, health
full conditions and an ample gravity
supply of pure mountain water. Dur
ing the schools long career not one
death ever occurred among its stu
dent body.
Weston, in fact, is an admirable
location for state normal school.
1t is small town" yes, but so is
Monmouth and so are numerous nor
NAL school towns in the east. Weston
has in the past supplied an entirely
adequate number of pupils for an eff
ficient practice school, and can do 80
again.
Why should the voters expend
$125, 900 for something they already
possess? Why should they tax them
selves one-twenty- fifth of mill when
one-fortieth of a mill-all that was
asked of them and which they denied
two years ago-is sufficient? Logic
and economy alike suggest the defeat
of the Pendleton bill, with a view
to the ultimate reopening of the East
ern Oregon normal at Weston.

Normal Arguments
For and Against

at Weston, located but Fl miles from
Pendleton in the same county? 1t
is significant that the Pendleton ar
gument avoids all reference to this
state property.
The Weston normal was maintain
ed until 1909 when because of GER
tain adverse political influences and
through no fault Of its own failed
of a appropriation in the state SEN
ate, although supported in the lower
house by a vote of two to one. 1t
was then the largest of three normal
schools in the state, having an at
tendance of 27S in the normal de-
partment and strong training
school. It's work was accomplished
on the modest maintenance of S12,-
500 per year. The Monmouth nor
NAL now receives 5000 per year,
and in addition was granted $4,000
for buildings by the 2Sth legislative
assembly. With similar support the
Weston normal would unquestionably
have attained to at least equal rank
and usefulness.
Through a bill initiated by the
legislature the Weston normal asked
the people in 1914 for maintenance
tax Of only cne-fortieth of a mill,
while Pendleton is now asking for
one-twenty-fifth Of a mill Weston's
request was denied by a majority
OF 1885. In the same general cleo
tion a similar millage tax for the
support Of the Ashland (Southern
Oregon normal was defeated by
majority of 5,602. In the fact Of
this decisive adverse vote but two
years ago the Pendleton measure we
regard as a defiance of the peoples
mandate and an abuse Of the initia-
tive. Weston was content to wait
for evidences of a change Of senti-
ment in Oregon along normal school
lines
The Pendleton bill constitutes a
return to "logrolling' methods. 1t
clearly indicates the fear of its spon-
sors to go before the people on the
merits Of their own demand. Why
seek to validate" we'll established
institutions that are in no sense in
peril? Should the necessity ever arise,
their security can and will, be as
sured by the passage of millage
measure entirely Independent Of a
millage tax for Pendleton's benefit.
Pendleton has been treated generous
ly in being granted the Eastern Ore
gon hospital, which received a total

Conductor Is
Seriously Hurt

Freight Conductor Swaggart, who
was injured by fall from his train
near Weed last week, was hurt worse
than at first reported. The accident
occurred when the emergency air was
applied on a car through a break in
the air line and the jarring stop
threw him from the top of the car.
He was taken to the San Francisco
hospital and his wife and daughter,
Muriel, went down from here to be
with him. At last reports Mr.. Swag-
gart was resting easily and thought

Loan Board Will
Hear 0regonians

Washington Aug. (Special)
"A hearing of great Importance to
farmers, farm organizations and tc
cities of Oregon will be conducted
by the newly appointed federal farm
loan board in the federal building
at Portland, Oregon, September Z
This hearing is to secure informa-
tion to guide the board in determin.
ing the boundaries of the ~ federal
loan bank districts into which the
United States is to be divided for the
application of the new rural credits
legislation.
The members of the federal farm
loan board who will conduct the hear
ing are Hon. VIM. G. McAdoo, secre-
tary of the treasury; Geo. W. Norris,
farm loan commissioner. Herbert
Quick, Capt. w. S. A. Smith and c.
E. Lobdell.
The board has requested farmers
and farm organizations of Oregon to
furnish facts concerning the need
OF cheaper farm loans and it has
asked interested cities to present
claims for the location of one of these
banks. This will be the only hearing
in Oregon.
The new federal farm loan act will
do for the farmer what the federal
reserve act is doing for the business
man. Under it the government pro-
vides the machinery for assembling
capital to be loaned to farm owners
or intended farm owners, on first
mortgage farm security. The loan
cannot exceed so per cent of the
value of the land, nor 20 per cent
of the value of the permanent i'm
provements.
The loans will be made at a low
rate of interest, not yet determined,
but not over per cent, and provis-
ion is made for the borrower to pay
off the loan and interest in small
annual or semi-annual payments
through period of 40 years or at
his option.
Farmers, to take advantage Of the
law, must associate themselves in
groups of ten or more and form farm
loan association and then make ap-
plication to one of the IL federal
loan banks. The land will then be
appraised and, if it meets require
ments, the loans will be made.
The new legislation is expected to
prove a great boon to those sections
OF the country where development
has been arrested because of high in
terest rates and it is predicted that
it will have the effect of making
agricultural prosperity permanent
and uniform; stabilizing land values,
and greatly improving general farm
conditions.
Thousands of requests to the U. S.
treasury department for information
regarding the application of the law
indicates the great, nation wide in
terest in its provisions.
Secretary McAdoo predicts that the
banks will be ready for operation by
January l or shortly thereafter.
