LEADERSHIP FOR BOYS.

Organizations for boys are one of
the typical ideas of the times. A
great army of youngsters will gather
this fall in the Boy Scouts, Wood
craft League, Knights of King Ar
thur and so on. The Boy Scouts of
America alone include 100000 mem
bers. The time when the boy used
to sit down under the evening lamp
and read the Rollo books has gone
by. To keep him out of the loafing
hanging outs, he has been turned
into a young clubman.
But it's one thing to get the boys
into some of the many useful socie-
ties, and it's quite another to have it
work out some positive benefit.
Leaders of the Boy Scout movement
report great difficulty in securing
"scoutmasters. To fill this lack
they are starting at Boston this fall
school for scout leadership, and
are receiving applications for mem
bership from all over the country.
AS things now are, many of these
boy organizations run in a haphaz-
ard fashion. Very few men have the
gift for work with boys, Young
America is tough problem to han
die He thinks quick. He has a
very keen sense of humor. He feels
desire to utter his witticisms at
the most inopportune times. His lit
tie spirit boils over with fun, and he
wants to make a game of all drill or
class work.
The average man has to think very
actively to subdue these resourceful
minds and squirming muscles. 1t
takes an alert brain, an ingenious
Imagination, tolerant spirit, and a
firm will. Most men feel utterly ex-
hausted after an evening of it.
There is great need for organiza-
tions to keep the boys off the streets
and to provide outlet for their super
fluous energy. A man who has a
gift for this kind of leadership can
do untold good. The ministers,
church workers and school teachers
will have to make more of a study
of this work. Probably the clergy
man can exert more influence in this
way than by the most exhaustive
study of theology.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Oct. 2, 1915
NEW COTTAGES NEEDED.

The notable thing about Ashlands
resort development is that every Wis
itor is simply charmed with the
scheme. From the automobile tour
ist to the casual daily visitor each
and all pass on with but the highest
praise of Ashland and her work.
These are the best advertisement
that can be imagined. And from
that fact reasonable and logical de-
duction can be drawn. If everyone
who comes is pleased and goes away
with praise on their lips. it is only
necessary to bring people here in
greater numbers during the next
year or two to warrant a great sue
cess for the enterprise. If this is
to be done, arrangements must be
made for their accommodation in the
way of furnished cottages, apart
ments and greater hotel facilities.
There is lot of capital in Ashland
that can be profitably employed, and
some Of these capitalists already
have vacant lots suitably located for
the purpose, in building such struc-
lures as will be in demand. The de-
mand will be for high-class accom-
modations, and visitors will pay we'll
for that, but they will not rent old
rundown and shabbily. furnished
apartments. But few available
houses of any kind were vacant this
summer-possibly two or three from
which the furniture should be taken
and burned-were offered without
takers. Next year there will be de-
mand for more than a hundred mod
ern-modern, mind you-furnished
up-to- date cottages at from $40 to
$50 per month, the price being de-
termined by the attractiteness. size
and proximity to the park. Every
vacant lot on Granite street should
be covered with an up-to-date cot
tage this winter. They will rent well
the coming season. Every old ram
shackel building on that street
should be torn down and replaced
with a modern cottage.

DUPLICATION OF ORGANIZA.
TIONS.

Organization, in a sense, means
cooperation. One organization can
attain far greater results than dis
organized group of individuals But
when two organizations are formed
for the same purpose and with SINH
lar aims, the result is duplication
of mechanical means and double
overhead expense. This is inef-
ficiency. Beyond the fact that two
or three or a dozen sets of officers
and executives are as unnecessary as
a dozen heads and a dozen sets of
clerks each working independently
in your store, the greatest objection
to duplication of organizations is in
the resultant friction from disparity
of opinions regarding the means of
attaining an object. This friction
would be automatically eliminated
by the rule of the majority if the
two organizations were replaced by
one.
The outlay for repairs and gaso-
line for the big Interurban cars
which ply between Ashland and Med
ford, carrying from twenty-five to
forty-five passengers, is necessarily
greater than that for the small cars
whose capacity is five to eight pas
sengers. In either case you are buy
ing for but one engine but in pro
portion the larger outlay for the
larger car pays you several hundred
per cent more profit. For perhaps
twice the outlay to keep the engine
Of the larger running, you can carry
five times as many passengers. The
same is applicable to the executive
force, which is the engine of an Or
ganization.
II the object is to transport forty
passengers between Ashland and
Medford, one big car with one driv-
er's salary and one cost of operation,

Land Grant Crews
Move to Josephine

Great progress is being made by
the men who are in the field classi-
flying the Oregon & California grant
lands, and several camps have moved
northward into Josephine county
from Jackson county last week. One
camp has been established in the
Jump-Off Joe district, and another is
being established in the Kerby dis
trict. The work in southern Oregon
will no doubt be completed within
the next forty days, when it is ex-
pected that this portion of the land
will be opened to settlement. From
present indications the lands of Jack
son and Josephine counties may be
opened shortly after the first Of the
year. A press dispatch from Wash
ington indicates that the department
intends to make all haste possible.

A Story We Have Never Finished.
Dark thunder clouds hung in
heavy sultriness over the oppressed
earth. The air lay motionless and
steaming in the intense heat. A
distant roll of thunder and intermit-
tent flashes of lightning IN the far
west presaged the coming of a regu-
I lar gully-washer of a storm. Fair
Marian was taking in the clothes,
with one eye toward the heavens and
one eye toward the we'll in the cor
ner of the yard, near which the
neighbor's goat was wandering. A
thought flashed through her head:
Suppose I should pinch a clothespin
on the goats tail?" Stealthily set
ting down the basket of socks and
tablecloths and things, she ap-
preached the goat as an Indian
would stalk an antelope. Just as
she reached forth to clamp the
clothespin on the quivering tail of
the can-eating quadruped a shrill
scream arose from the well, the
earth and sky seemed to tremble.
Marian stood transfixed with fear,
spellbound, speechless, gazing at

The day of voting for good fell

ing for candidates who fit the job.
Companionship is not necessary in
public service. The best fellow in
the world-the most suave-does

efficient and hardworking. When
will ALL the electorate recognize
that fact and vote accordingly? Kick
out the hair-brained hand-shakers
and employ men for public service

office as a position of faithful and
efficient service instead of private

can accomplish the result at a less
cost and more efficiently than five
small cars with five drivers salaries
and five costs of operation. BY ex-
actly the same process of reasoning
the fact becomes evident that one
organization can more economically
attract forty tourists to Ashland than
two or three organizations; one or
ganization can more economically at
tract industries, stage celebrations,
or entertain visitors than two; one
church can lead more people into the
ways of Christianity more economic
ally than sixteen; one lodge can at
tain the aim of social life, charity or
brotherly aid more economically
than a dozen, and so on through an
infinite variety of organizations
wherein under present conditions the
duplication of machinery is causing
an inestimable amount of lost effort
and wasted money.
Too many organizations will event
ually result in deplorable lack of

all.

on the granite ridge on the west of
Ashland canyon, has been expert
menting with the raising of sugar
beets, and recently sent samples to
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, D. c., and received a
prompt and very satisfactory report
upon them. Among the principal
items of interest in the report were
the following: Per cent of sugar in
the beets, 1899; per cent of sugar in
the juice, 1894. Seventeen and
four-fifths tons per acre is the yield
average. The beets which were
grown were grown on black bottom
land over the hill.

The meanest man in Jackson coun-

in an Ashland store the other day
and bought a fifteen-cent dishpan.
He lives out beyond the city limits

but because the store made a great
speciality of free delivery and be-
cause he believed in getting every
thing he could that was free, he
asked to have the pan delivered.

States government will build a lot of
ships and either run them herself.
or lease or sell them to companies

ships are sold it will be with the
agreement that they can be taken
back by the government in the event
of our country getting into war"
