A man has Invented a clock that needs to lie wound hut once In 10,000 years. Unfortunately, however, one Is apt to forget In that time where he put the key.

With the closo of January. 1910, unless there comes an unprecedented storm tonlKM. there Is a shortage of nbout two Inches of rain.

Kor instance, most men would rather be considered "some pumpkins than a mere Bqnash. To Mr-t TohIkIU The publicity cominttt.ee recently appointed' will meet In their first regular senslon at the ItoBcburtf Commercial club rooms this evening. I ho work for the com ing year will bo outlined and several propositions t Interest to the club as well as the citizens at largo will be discussed. Tt roillv looked like winter In ItoseburR today, and the beautiful ffdl almost continually from B a.m. ti.ia r-vmiinir It was a warm pnow and melted nearly as fust as it fell. Thts Ktorm rather put us In a Imd predicament when our good weather bnoHlhig Is considered, but when It "lookrt like winter" h'-ro, what must bo happening In other states? Wo venture to renews that conditions are worse than bad. Within the Inst few weeks sev eral experienced poultrymen from the east have located In Douglas ponntv in the vicinity of Hoseburg. and will doubtless ndd materially to the Industry In Southern Oregon. There Is room In this Hectlou of the Ptnte for many more such people, and the onporluiiltlea here along thai line are unenuiiled. Douglas county 1r a natural poultry country. The climatic' conditions are Ideal for the fowls, and with a very orulnary enre and small expense for colony houses the birds can bo kept at egg produc tion throughout the fall and winter when prices are highest. Aside from that the feed problem Is of little mo ment becniiHo corn and grains necos nary for feed thrive In our hoIIs. I' or n market we have Portland and Se attle on the north and San Francisco on the Bouth. There Is no qnlckor way to take the life, growth and energy out of a town than for its citizens to be con stantly holding up the dark Hide of the plcturo to the ga.o of the In quirer, remarks and exchange. The word "If" keeps everybody In doubt, and doubt keeps every man from go ing forward with tho improvements ho would otherwise make. There Is nothing like confidence to make a success of anything and If you bavo not got any of it, don't communicate tho fact to your neighbor, much lens to a Btnmger, and If the bent of your mind Is to continually go agattiHt ev ery Intercut of the town In which you t.'.n f,it tint u.i lii nf tho town net out of It and go to some plnco that Is ul-, ready lifeless and has no Interests nt 1 stake, where yon, like the old lady's) root beer.

SMITH. ..Higher Than for Years Local butchers who have been in business in Itoseburg for years report that meat Is much higher nt this time than for tho eight years past. The condition they nver is due to the scarcity of cuttle and hogs and not on account of the alleged beef trust. Speaking to a News reporter this morning relative to the high price of meats a local butcher sahl that be had been engaged in the retailing of meats for nearly all his lite, but nev er had It been as difficult to obtain marketable niea's as at present. In regard to the meat boycott tho butch er said that such procecdiire was pleasing to the large wholesale meat linns Inasmuch as they would t abb to bear down the price of rattle and hoKM on foot, fatten them and (hen hold for a strong market To Kngiige In Iliislness Letters received from Fred Paquatte, who Is at present in California convey the Intelligence that he is soon to en gage In business In that state.

As soon as the building is completed the telephone company expects to Install a new modern and un-to-dato switchboard, thus facili tating tho work of the operators who are at present handicapped on ac count of the nntequated equipment. It is also said that several additional country lines will be Installed with a view of eliminating the present con gested condition of the lines. Many Favors Asked There are perhaps few people In the commun ity In which a newspaper Is published who realize the numerous favors that are asked of it during a brief period of thirty days. Just this morning a young fellow, smiling and apparently suffering from overjoy, visited The News sanctum, and in a peevish tone asked the editor to ex tend hltn a favor. Asked as to the nature of the favor the young man replied that he was soon to be mar ried and desired that the license be kept on the "Q. T." As usual the re quest was granted and the fellow loft the office Jubilant. The public, how ever, will be compelled to await the announcement on account of the gen-1 eroslty of the editor. Itailroad Commission ext The i members of the Oregon railroad com-1 mission will arrive In the city Wed-, nesday morning to entertain the pe-l t it Inn of the Kdenbower- residents j who nre asking that the Southern Pa cific company be compelled to estnb- lish a side track nt that place. 1 he petitioners also request that, the local trains stop at the Kdenbower cross ing upon flag, thus affording the clt-i izens of that vlclnitv Improved ser vice. When the petition . was first nresented to the railroad company they looked upon It with little favor. alleging that the freight tonnage from that suburb did not warrant the company establishing a sidetrack or even stopping tho local trains upon1 flng. Tho petitioners then carried the matter to the Oregon railroad j commissioners, who promised to meet here and entertain the request on the date above mentioned. Attorney Or cutt. has been retained by the peti tioners, while Attorney Fenton, of the Southern Pncific company, will probablv represent the latter. It is expected that the entire day will be consumed In going over tho matt that the commissioners may become well versed in the conditions as they really exist and act accordingly. The meeting will be held at the court house. WHAT IS THR CHEAPEST PHOTO MA THE II EST. The same applies to en larging, copying, frame mak ing, kodak finishing. Clark' Studio for the best.
