ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS
ALSO ~ ATTENDANCE

The occasion OF the Presidents adj
dress was tho celebration or "Farmcrs'
Day" at shadow Lawn. bu; "a delegation
Of architects ana engineers from New
York also was present. Farmers from
New Jersey AMI other ncar-by states
came 10 the celebrations
The main points "f tn. Presidents
address follow:
Nor" has been done for tho farmer
IN these last three and q half years
than was ever attempted before partly
because in some Of til" earlier genera
tons tho larEcss Of nature was so
great that IL did not seem 10 demand
nationnl attention, but also because the
attention OF the country has been con-
centralcd by the leadership of men
with II special point Of view
II can illustrat" the point of view
by the way in which the tarin has
been treated. You. as farmers. never
we're told, take it. that YOU were
getting the direct benefit of the tarin.
You were told you were getting the
indirect benefit of tho tariff Yo,,
were getting it with extreme intircc-
tion. because YOU were Getting il by
having duties placed upon almost
everything that YOU had To use and
therefore 'th" cost of almost every
thing that YOU had To use was en-
hanccd. and YOU were promised hardly
more than this. that If The country
prospercd you would necessarily
prosper With the country: but YOU
would pay for the prosperity at Il very
considerable price. That was not
added but that was implied"
DESCRIBES POINT OF VIEW
OF OUR LEGISLATION
And the whole point Of view Of our
legislation has been this. that special
set of men who thought they could
guide the nation better than anybody
else, and preferred to guide il in pri-
vatc. asked certain chief hencficiarics
Of the tariff To come together and sur-
Gest what the schedules Of the tariff
should he, and then to contribute the
literature and the support Of the
orators. and also the other instru-
mcntalities Of propaganda TO make ihc
country believe that If these men who
planned the tariff were rich. the resi-

riches.

S. P. Will Pay
Employees Who Fight

Employees of the Southern Pacific
who were, on June II, 1916, mem
bers of the national guard of any
state its lines traverse, will be paid a
graduated scale of from half to full
pay, and will retain their promotion
rights while serving in response to
the call of the government, and when
relieved from service will resume
their positions, according to an
nouncement by the Southern Pacific
officials at San Francisco Tuesday.
If through physical disability they
should be unable to resume their for
mer duties, the statement said, new
positions would be found for them,
at equal remuneration, If possible.
The announcement comes as well
come news to Ashland as a number
of the members of first company are
employees of the Southern Pacific.
The assurance that all rights will be
reserved and the families cared for
will allow the company boys who are
railroad workers to leave with light
hearts should the call come.

Woman Ropes
Outlaw for ROdeC

klamath Falls Herald Quite a
roping feat was accomplished by a
Klamath county woman last week,
when Mrs. viii Sims successfully
roped and captured "the wild stall
lion of Bowles creek" who has been
sought in vain for some time by
stockmen of klamath and Modoc
counties. This is considered quite a
feat, considering the horses great
reputation for cleverness in avoiding
capture.
Mrs. Sims was out with her hus-
band, who has contract to deliver
ten outlaw horses and twenty wild
horses for the Ashland roundup.
The stallion will be sent over as one
of the wild horses, and he ought to
give considerable trouble to the vac
quero drawing him in the wild horse
race.
Sims has rounded up Rim-Rock
Johnny, Skylight and eight other bad
buckers for the Ashland show. They
are all in fine condition.

Militia Go Through
On Way to Border

The third Oregon troop train
reached Ashland today at 1890 a.
m. on its way south. 1t carried the
second battalion of the Third Oregon
Infantry, under command of John L.

ment, who is well known in Ashland,

The train consisted of twelve passen-
ger cars carrying 440 men, three bag
gage cars, one car with six officers
mounts, three flat cars with eight

Hotel LET I'm Buck" with Happy

Wednesday. The cowboy hotel is in
the building which was once a school
building, later the Hotel Vendome,
and until few months ago the Poly
technic College. The building has
been renovated, ranges and tables in.
stalled and cots and beds brought IN
by the truck load. Two cooks from
Mike Hanley's cattle ranch preside
over the kitchen, and two dining
rooms are needed to accommodate
the crowds. The cowboys who are
coming will bring their own bedding.
Everything around the hotel is
free to the cowboys 1t being figured
that 1t is just as essential to the sue
cess of the show and its success in
future years to give the cowboys a
good time, assuring their return at
the next years roundup, as It is to
please the spectators. Business head
quarters are fixed up in the hotel.
Rooms are given over for lobby and
lounging purposes The management
expects to accommodate one hundred
and fifty cowboys.

Remember Kids,
No Fireworks

Remember kids, no fireworks in
the city limits during the celebra-
tion, or any other time for that mat
ter. There is a strict ordinance pro-
hibiting fireworks within the city
limits and this year it will be en-
forced to the letter.
The only fireworks allowed will
be the spectacular display, staged by
the Hit Fireworks company. These
will be staged up on Granite street.
and may be seen from anywhere In
the park or from the drives.
. Several of the stores are selling
fireworks of the less harmful kind.
and no doubt, the extra policemen,
of which there will be over a dozen,
will be kept busy hauling young Of
tenders before the law.
If you must have your fireworks,
get outside the city limits, but be
very careful about setting dry grass
or buildings afire.

MedfOrd Band Will
Be Here Three DAYS

The Medford band will be here for
all three days of the big celebration
next week. The Medford band is a
well-balanced organization and will
be a valued addition to the celebra-
tion music.
On the first of last April Medford
citizens entered into a contract with
Reginald G. Rowland to take charge
of their band. Mr.. Rowland, who by
birth is Welsh, spent fifteen years in
Canada. During that period he was
director of several of Canada's best
bands. For four years just previous
to coming to Medford he was band
master of the SSth regiment Fusiliers
of Victoria, B. c., which band had
the distinction of being one of the
foremost military bands of the coun-
try. When the SSth regiment was
ordered overseas Mr.. Rowland OBJ
tanned his discharge and took up ne
gotiations with Medford. The citi-
zens of Medford are to be congratu
lated on securing Mr.. Rowland's SER
vices. The wonderful transformation
of the Medford band in two months
has more than proved his ability. Mr.,
Rowland is cornetist Of repute,
composer and arranger. His band
will feature next weeks programs
with several of his compositions and
arrangements.
