Final Sessions Prove Unusually
Interesting
RESSLER CHIEF TALKER
J'rof. Tlinrmnn Chiiney Drllvrra An
Address on "Our SK'ciulti' For
1910" Session Closes Very
linportunt Mating.
The last day's work of the Insti
tute for 1909 closed by a pleising ad
dress delivered by Prof. Hesslvr.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.
Ressler had borne the creator burden
of the day's work due to the depar
ture of Mesrs. Aekerman and Alder
man, and had rested after the day's
work by climbing Mt. Nebo, yet he
was at his best. His address was
given a close hearing and was ex
ceptionally well received.
The evening sessions have been
largely attended, many patrons and
friends taking advantage of the op
portunity to hear a discussion of the
live issues of the day from our emi
nent educators point of view. The
crowd the last night was such as to
fill the large circuit court room, and
was a very enthusiastic one.
The first part of the program con
sisted of music by the Roseburg Or
chestra, which rendered a classic se
lection from Faust; a duett by the
Misses Hlack; a trio by the Misses
Black, Bridges and Black, and a
reading by Mis. 13. L. Cannon. The
local talent furnished a pleasing part
of entertainment in Roseburg and
nt this time needs no special men
tion. Mr. Ressler's subject was the
"New Kduration." His Introduc
tion dealt with the Norman question
in a brief resume of his own con
nection with that part of tho State's
work.
The main part of his discourse had
tJ do with industrial education as
ilrried on in the Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallis, and a look Into the
future for just such schools as the
Rosebtirg schools and the other
schools of Dougias county. In some
parts of the slato even now there
are departments of manual training
and domestic science. Baker City and
Medford have established and are
operating puch courses. The O. A.
C. proposes to train teachers for do
ing just such Instruction, and then
Oregon schools will not have to send
to th" F.ast for Her teachers
Mr. Ressler closed with short vale
dlctory proclaiming the pride that
Inspired -him in the fact that he is
an Oregonlan.
Afternoon Session.
During the aternoon session Prof.
TV n. Ressler delivered a brief and
interesting address, tnklng as his
topic The .New ic-acner. no em
phasized the qualities necessary in
the make up of a successful teacher
and declared the teachers of the pres
ent age should nt nil times bo ready
to meet the changing conditions. Mr.
Ressler Is a fluent talker and held
the clcsest attention of his listeners.
County Superintendent Chancy
followed Mr. Ressler with an address
on "Our 111(19 Specialties." Mr. Chan
ev brought to mnid the Importance
of specializing on the fundamentals,
and outlined in a measure the cam
paign for snecinl effort durins; the
vear 1910. Special stress was placed
on the studies of spoiling, writing,
arithmetic and school sanitation.
Just prior to niMournmcnt K. T).
Ressler spoke brlelly on "Tho Philo
sophy of Life." He called the listen
er's attention to Die everydnv oc
curences of life, and explained the
manner in which many of the un
pleasant situations could lie over
come He also said: "Teachers should
have a broad, optimistic view of life."
Mr. Ressler also advocated that the
character of a teacher was one of the
Important factors of their lite.
Thus Closed the most successful in
stitute the county has ever had.
Mr. Chnney has received congratu
lations on everv hand for his care
ful planing and carrying rut so
carefully the well laid i Inns In such
an able manner.

prominent citizens, spent Friday af

local people relative to the proposed
county division, and the formation
of a new county to be known as Ne

will do whatever possible t tins t rate
such a move. In fact, Mr. Edwards is
of the opinion that there are to many
propositions in the-alr at the present

of Douglas county should get to
gether and exchange Ideas, that they
may face the county division cam

Final Shipments to Distant
Market Today
OVER 40,000 TURKEYS
War 1 let ween 1 In yen 'Very Accept
able to (he Farmer Average
Frlco Said to bo From 21
23 Cents a round
This afternoon practically conclud
es the turkey shipments to the Seat
tle and San Francisco markets. Birds
for Portland consumption, however,
win no shipped as late as Tuesday
evening Inasmuch as the demand In
that locality greatly exceeds the sup
ply. Those citizens of Douglas county
who have engnged 111 the raising of
turkeys during the past year hiure
fared exceptionally well, the price
paid by both the local and outside
buyers this fall showing a substan
tial increase over prices paid In for
mer years. No hlrds have been pur
chased In this city, or In fact, in any
part of the county for less than 21
cents, while In many Instances the
birds have brought the raiser 2.1
cents.
From a careful and conservative
Investigation it has been determined
that no less than 50,000 birds were
shipped from Douglas county to sup
ply the Thanksgiving demand to date,
say nothing of the straggling ship
ments which will be made during the
early part of next week.
J. H. Grande, representing the A.
Oalll Fruit Company, of San Fran
cisco, shipped 1!! ton of turkeys from
Myrtle Creek and Riddle. From Rose
burg he shipped nuout 7 tons, mak
ing a total of 19 tons. Mr. Grande
paid from 21 to 23 cents per pound,
choice birds bringing tho latter price
without argument. Mr. Grande's
product was shipped exclusively to
the San Francisco market where the
demand is said to bo enormous this
bciisop..
E. G. Young & Company, the well
known Oakland buyers, have ship
ped 6000 birds from the northern
part of the county and 3000 blrdB
from Itoseburg. Tho Roseburg pro
duct was furnished by A. S. Fruy &
Company, or this city. Young Com
pany paid the standard price of 21
lo 23 cents. Their shipments were
about equally divided between the
San Francisco nnd Seattle mnrkels. i
A. S. Krey & Company, of this cliy.
have shipped something over 11100
birds to date, hike the other pur
chasers this Arm paid from 21 to 23
cents per pound
George Kohlhagen, tho locnl'but
eher, did not deal &b extensively In
turkeys Ibis year ns Inst. Notwith
standing that fact, however, he ship
ped over .'100 birds to tile Port land
markets, paying ho customary price
of 'i cents.
Asi te from the above shipments
It Is estimated that about 10.000
birds were shipped in scattering
quantities. In Hrockway alone over
S00 blids were shipped -on Thursday
to northern markels.
Figuring from tho above basis of
40,001' birds the lurkev raisers of
HOW ABOUT THAT NEW SUIT
. For Thanksgiving?
The Houv of Kappc&hrina
Douglas county will realize some
thing over $15,000 rom their pro
duct. This is considered very good
Inasmuch as it had been reported
early hi the season that turkeys
would be almost Impossible to ob
tain for the Thanksgiving trade.
Contrary to usual conditions Rose
burg shipped more birds this year
than Oakluud notwithstanding the
fact that Oakland has hold the rec
ord as a turktug raising section for
many years.
In compiling the above It was
learned from the several buyers that
many of the turkey raisers through
out the county are holding their pro
duct for the Christmas trade. Ordi
narily the late shipments bring from
a cent to a cent and a half more per
pound than the early Thanksgiving
shipments.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 20. The
Government has wtm the suits Insti
tuted to dissolve the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, with a cap
ital of $1,000,000. The canes were
brought under the direction of tben
President Roosevelt, by Deputy At
torney General Kellogg, and Is a hard
blow to the oil company. The Gov
ernment sustained nearly every
point, the only exception being made
in tho case of the minor subsidiary
companies, named as deendants,
where it was held by the court, they
were not clearly shown to be denom
inated by the trust. The orders of the
court will not take effoct for thflrty
days. Tho decision was announced in
the United States Circuit Court by
Judge Elmer B. Adams today.
The case was one of moat momen
tous records In legal jurisprudence,
hearing linving been extended in var
ious forms for nearly two years, and
testimony taken Ju a great number of
cities notably New York, Washington
nnd Chicago. High ofllolals of the
Standard Oil Company were called
In attendance , Including 'John D.
Kockerfeller and are questioned as
witnesses.
The Government chnrged the Stan

was one of eipiity to gain control

of move than 100 corporations engag

which wre characterized as a con
spiracy to restrain trade. The Govern
ment asked a permanent Injunction
restraining the Slandard Oil Company
from continuing control of subsidiary
corporations, and from reorganizing
In such manner that tho alloged ap
peal be perpetuated.
An appeal can bo taken to the Su
