Dissatisfied with the decision of the county court in levying a half mill tax on all taxable property In Douglas county for arn.ory purposes, locul socialists are oltcady advocat ing the circuiting of petitions pre pprctory o rason:ns to the referen dum in hope of revoking the ta nud Xlliereliy cheating Rosohurg of a structure to cost not Ifmi ttsn $40. 000. Admitting they bis opposed to military orgenlzatlonf, the socialists ci,.i lend that Hie erection of an orincry In Koeebuig Is without merit, and that the increase resulting from the levy will prove a burden to the taxpayers. Under the initiative and referendum laws, the socialists will necessarily have to obtain the signa tures of 25 per cent of the voters of the county before the court will be authorized in calling a special election. This task seems almost impossible In view of the fact that the great majority of the citizens ot the courty favor erection of the building at the first possible moment. Attorney Lee Cannon, who is con- NO FORCED SALE HERE sldered a leader in the local socialist ranks.

Clingenpeel "The Jeweler" ROSEBURCSHATIOMAL BANK BLOC. Spurred to action through an ar ticle appearing In a recent issue of The Evening News, Mrs. I. R. Lee, a distant relative' of William Per mann, late proprietor of the "Smoke house," has instituted a search In hope that the missing man may be found. She is being assisted by Permann's aged grandmother, who resides in the vicinity of Eugene. - MrB. Lee yesterday communicated with relatives In Eugene, and learn ed that Permann had not been seen In that vicinity for several months. In fact, the last information receiv ed at that city which tended to In dicate that he was alive came in De cember, when a relative of the miss Ine man received a $10 bill, purport ed to have been donated by Per mann. The money is alleged to have been sent as a Christmas gift. Mrs. Lee is now attempting to determine whether the money came direct from Permann or was sent by some per son who held It in trust. In the event Permann cannot be located, his relatives -will request the coroner-to exhume the remains of an unidentified man found near Oakland several weeks ago, and thus satisfy them In their present anx letv. Mrs. Lee says that Permann left Roseburg with a view of pro ceeding to Springfield, and his fail ure to reach that city is considered peculiar by his many friends in this vicinity. Dr. E. B. Stewart, who has been spending the past three weeka at points In Calllornla returned here iast evening. He says the weather in California has been very cold and the crops of the tropical state have suf fered considerable. Like many otn ers who have visited California, Dr. Stewart is glad to get back to Hose burg and Douglas county.

Under Mr. Brown's decision rond supervisors selected by the county court will nccesasrily have to refrain from accepting other appointive po sitions. While not in the habit of dictating what class of labor a man snail follow, the members of the court believe that In holding two of fices a person is likely to neglect the duties of one in order to handle another. Acting upon the decision of Dis trict Attorney Brown, Mr. Fullerton yesterday resigned his position ns denutv assessor and the same Is now In the hands of County Assessor Iklns. The resignation will be accepted, and Mr. Fullerton will continue to serve tho citizens of Can yonvllle as road supervisor. That he has made an efficient supervisor Is attested in the lengthy petition ni od with tho county court yesterday morning.

I pon his arrival nere yoMieruuy m tnrnoon In custody of the officer, Jonos first declared that he found the articles near the railroad bridge north of town,-and consequently had no knowledge that they were stolon. Lator, however, he admitted that he was recovering from the effects of a prolnnged spree, and therefore was unable to give an explanation of his whereabouts at the time the rob bery was committed. Bollovlng that Jonos waa the guilty party, the district attorney summoned a numbor of witnesses.
