Railroad Executive Tells Value of Advertising in Weekly Newspapers Country weeklies as an advertising force in modern American life have no more ardent champion than Harry G. Taylor, chairman of the Western Railroads. In organizing the program of activities to promote more business, both passenger and freight, in the western area, Mr. Taylor carried out the unanimous resolution of the executives of the individual lines in placing the 6,036 weeklies on the list for Western Railroad advertising. This advertising is a unique tribute to both the weekly and daily press, because of its exclusive concentration in a geographical area of the United States, extending all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. The individual rail lines have been consistent users of the weekly newspapers, and what the association is doing in the current campaign is to supplement as a group the many campaigns conducted over a long period of years by the individual members. In the use of the weekly newspapers, the advertising trade press has called attention to the fact that Mr. Taylor's understanding of the powerful influence of these publications originates through his own experience in that field. For four years, he was editor and publisher of the Plain-dealer at Almena, Kansas, and subsequently for ten years, he directed the affairs of the Nonpareil at Central City, Nebraska. The background of these human interactions is not immutable. Campaign in 1936, recognition was at once extended to the country weeklies so that both important phases in the newspaper field would be included in the 1936 program. In discussing the progressive work of the western carriers for the current year, Chairman Taylor said: "During the business depression railroads suffered as much as any industry, more than some. Consequently they were forced to curtail advertising expenditures and concentrate what budgets were available in the centers where most shipping and passenger traffic originates. "I know, however, that the railroad executives, individually, have been desirous of increasing the allotments for advertising in the weekly newspapers along their lines, realizing that these papers and the people who read them are the closest neighbors of the railroads. "When the executives acting for the Association decided to advertise in newspapers again this year, they authorized us to include the weeklies. This is in addition to their individual line advertising. "The decision to use the country weeklies is personally gratifying because of my former connection with that branch of the newspaper business."

For four years, he was editor and publisher of the Plain-dealer at Almena, Kansas, and subsequently for ten years, he directed the affairs of the Nonpareil at Central City, Nebraska. The background of these human interest contacts was of inestimable value to him in public life while serving as a member of the Nebraska legislature and subsequently as Chairman of the State Railway Commission. His fairness in this latter capacity led to his appointment in Washington as manager of the Public Relations Car Service Association. In December, 1932, he was selected by the western group of railroads to serve as their chairman and commissioner. The group advertising activity on a large scale for the Western Railroads began in 1935. At that time a limited number of daily newspapers was used. When the decision was reached to renew the year, they authorized us to include the weeklies. This is in addition to their individual line advertising.

At the time it appeared that West was the savior of the country in Hornaday's eye. It now develops that there was a deal by which a nephew of West's was to buy an interest in Hornaday's paper.

It was pointed out that West that he was foolish to tie his candidacy to a kite which would primarily in the interests another and totally different issue. Hornaday's paper is one of several published to promote the interest of independent merchandising. West saw the point and last week let it be known that he would through with Hornaday. Then comes the Hornaday paper with a tree-column renunciation of the West candidacy. It appears that a couple of meetings have been held in the district which were supposed to gatherings of Epics, Utopia Technocrats, etc., and that which endorsed West for congress. This alleged endorsement is given by Hornaday as the reason for its split. There seems to be plea to indicate that West's failure goes through with the business department may have had something to do with it all. Meanwhile Sam Collins is wooing where to get off.

Many meetings actually have been held on both sides, but accurate reports to them by trained observers and writers were impossible because the meetings were not public. One of the surprising things that becomes apparent is the fact that two representatives of the Mexican government—Consul Ricardo Hill and Vice-consul Ernest Romero—seem to have less influence with the Mexican people than the outsider who is said to be the cause of the trouble and the failure to reach a settlement—by name Wm. Velarde. He is charged with gumming up the works. It now appears possible that there may not be any real peace. The growers never will agree to recognize any union. The situation has in it plenty of dynamite, and the only means of settlement that appears possible is for the Mexican workers to put their case in the hands of Hill and Romero, get them to negotiate with the growers and then stick to whatever agreement is made, with out regard to Velarde or any other professional agitator. The real end is not yet in sight. Mission Neustra Senora de la Soledad October 9, 1791. Thirteenth of the Franciscan stations established in California, Mission Neustra Senora de la Soledad endured many trials and tribulations and came to an unusually sad end. Its isolated location, lack of true missionary spirit on the part of its first resident padres and the dire privations its priests and Indian neophytes suffered under Mexican civil and military governments accounted for its rather tragic history. Dedicated to Most Holy Mary, Our Lady of Solitude, the mission given the name of Soledad, the origin of which is not definitely known. Fr. Englehardt, mission historian, quotes Fr. Pedro Font, chaplain of Captain Juan B. Anza's expedition, which discovered the first overland route from Sonora, Mexico, to San Francisco, as offering the explanation. Anza stopped at Soledad on his journey and recording the visit in his Journal, Fr. Font, on March 9, 1776, wrote: "We stopped at a place called Soledad, and they told me that it was thus called because on the first expedition of Portola (September, 1769) they asked an Indian his name, who answered Soledad, at least it sounded that way to them." Fr. Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, who succeeded Fr. Serra as Presidente of the California Missions, himself founded Mission Soledad on Sunday, October 9, 1791. He was assisted by Fr. Buenaventura Sitjar of Mission horses, and the Indian community consisted of 521 souls. In 1814 epidemic, the nature of what not known, caused the death many Indians. Notwithstanding all the difficulties that besieged Fr. Engelhardt says the mission population increase til it reached the highest mans history with 688 neons After that, he adds, for his savages to convert and own disease communicated by Mr. soldiers, the Indian com­windled so that by 1810 he was the smallest number of all the missions except Carlos. Governor Jose Joaquin rillaga, great friend of the ciscans, while on a tour speeched in 1814 was taken hastened to Mission Soledad near Fr. Florencio Ibanez; he died on July 24. He wren burial beneath the church appropriate resting place a man whose term in office been called by Fr. Engelhardt "Golden Age of the Mission." Following the revolt in against Spain the burden being and clothing the sole California garrisons placed upon the mission Mexican government had stopped shipments of clothing and pay to the men Wherefore, Governor Jose guello in February, 1815, vw Fr.

Holds Old Fashion Picnic Authorization to found Mission Soledad came to Fr. Lausen from Viceroy Revilla Gigero of Mexico on August 2, 1790 on the same ship that brought Monterey four Franciscan missionaries assigned to service in California. Church goods that were to have been shipped on the same vessel failed to arrive and in a circular issued July 22,1791, Fr. Lausen called upon the other missions to contribute what they could to Soledad. This they did gladly, whereupon Fr. Lausen proceeded to Soledad and established the new mission. “This place, then, is constituted a Mission dedicated in honor of the Most Sorrowful Mystery of the Solitude of Most Holy Mary, Our Lady,” wrote Fr. Lausen in recording the founding of the station. “In virtue of the faculty received from the Apostolic College of the Propagation of the Faith of San Fernando de Mexico, I named as its first missionaries the Rev. Fathers Preachers Apostolic, Fr. Oleg Garcia of the Provincia de Los Angeles, and Fr. Mariano Rubi of the provincia de Mallorca.” After four months, Fr. Garcia was transferred to San Antonio and Fr. Bartolomi Gili was sent to Soledad. The selection of Fr. Gili and Fr. Rubi to be the resident missionaries at Mission Soledad was unfortunate. Fr. Engelhardt, historian, has this to say about the two priests: “Two friars were in change who had made a bad record for themselves in Mexico, nor should they have been allowed to proceed to California, of all places where such characters could be leas acceptable.

Engelhardt gives the two priests credit for behaving themselves at Soledad, but regrets that both lacked missionary spirit, complained of their surroundings and hardships and did not set a good example in faith and patience to the Indians. Nevertheless, they enrolled numerous converts during their year at the mission. Fr. Rubi was sent back to Mexico in January, 1793, and the following month Fr.

Missions - uses, and the Indian community consisted of 521 souls. In 1802 an epidemic, the nature of which is not known, caused the death of many Indians. Notwithstanding the difficulties that beset Soleil, Fr. Engelhardt says that the mission population increased unintentionally reached the highest mark in history with 688 neophytes. After that, he adds, for lack of wages to convert and owing to disease communicated by Mexican indians, the Indian community minded so that by 1810 it had the smallest number of converts all the missions except San Carlos. Governor Jose Joaquin de Arriaga, great friend of the Franciscans, while on a tour of infection in 1814 was taken ill and sent to Mission Soledad to be near Fr. Florencio Ibanez. There died on July 24. He was giviburial beneath the chapel, an appropriate resting place for the man whose term in office has been called by Fr. Engelhardt the Golden Age of the Missions." Following the revolt in Mexico against Spain the burden of feeding and clothing the soldiers of the California garrisons was placed upon the missions, the Mexican government having stopped shipments of rations, nothing and pay to the military. Therefore, Governor Jose de Arriello in February, 1815, whothe to Dr. Vincente Francisco de Sarria, commissary prefect of the Franciscans, that the soldiers of the residios of San Francisco and Monterey and their families were restitute, and asked for flour and banknotes for them. November 19, 1826, I, the chief Alcade Geronimo, last night summoned the people to come to the church. All being assembled, we attended our holy Mass and commended ourselves to the Blessed Virgin to give us a good heart that we may do what the commandante of the presidio has directed us to do. After hearing holy Mass, we went out of the church and being together with the people, I named Senor Simon Cota, who can write, as my secretary, and I chose two Scrutators, Odilon Quepness and Felipe de Jesus. Then out of all the people eleven were set apart as the commandante prescribed, whereupon all the people retired except the eleven. They talked among themselves whom of all the men of the mission they should send to Monterey. Three wanted Fernando, one was in favor of Isidro, two preferred Valentin, and four Juan de Dios. Then all ten concluded that Juan de Dios was the man whom God desires to go to the Monterey commandante, and hold himself subject to his orders. And this is to be known by all the people, and this paper we all that are here present will sign, affixing thereto a Cross because we cannot write; and Juan de Dios will carry it with him. Before me, Simon Cota, Secretary of the Junta." Reports kept at Soledad by the resident padres were not as informative as those maintained at the other missions hence portions of its history are rather sketchy. In 1824, Fr. Uria reported that the church had been repaired and fortified. In 1826 he recorded the acquiescence of a number of church goods. At the end of 1828, Fr. Pedro Cabot noted that tiles and bricks were being made for reconstructing existing buildings. He reported a smithy and carpenter shop in operation. Toward the end of that year, Fr. Prefect Sarria went to Soledad to reside and in December, 1832, recorded that "A provisional church building, sufficiently apt for divine worship, had been erected, because the church which existed before had collapsed in consequence of floods."
