, MAKSHFIELD, Or., June 1. Rev.
C. E. Short, of Oakland, has been sent
to this locality to do missionary work
for the Baptist church. He will re
malu here for one year and will act
as general missionary aid in Coos
and Curry counties, filling the pulpits
of different churches. Another mis
sionary movement which Is to be car
ried on here by the Baptist denomi
nation Is that of maintaining a col
porteur boat which win be in charge
of Rev. J. Leroy Hall, formerly pas
tor of the Marsh field Baptist church.
The boat will be operated in the same
manner as the colporteur cars and
wagons, but It was decided that a boat
would be more effective locally as it
would better reach the rural districts
and the logging camps. The boat
will be a novelty as It will be the
only one of the kind in the United
States. The local church furnished
the money for building the boat and
specifications are now being drawn.

CLINTON. Mass., June 3. Four
women and three men were shot and
a dozen policemen cut and bruised by
stones In a riot today, when forty
officers charged into a crowd of 300
textile workers massed In the yard
of the Church of Your Lady of Rtf
snry. One man, a member of the

that two of the women will also die
from their wounds. The trouble start
ed, police allege, over strikers at
tempting to prevent a woman from
going to work. Officers pursued the
men ajleged to have interferred with
the strikebreaker, and thoy ran to
the church yard where u prowd was
congregated. , Charging the mob,
policemen' were met with a shower of
stones and clubs and twice repulsed,
when they drew revolvers and charg
ed a third tihie, firing straight into
the ranks of strikers, who broke and
fled to shelter, leaving their wounded

There is no necessity of having a
fourth of July celebration here, as
one can hear the eagle scream almost
any time, anything Is mentioned that
y will increase taxes a few cents, bb a
number of our cltfzenB take a fresh
grip on Hie dollars in their fists, and
it is usually tight enough to make
the national bird gasp anyway. Much
could be said about the need of a
city park, and jut as much about
the library, hut taxes are so high
we might as well let the children do
without the pleasures furnished by
enterprising cities, and look in the
Daily News alumnae for Information,
as most of us are figuring on taking

care to let. go of any of it here. We

Writer Thinks Grip On Tlie Dollars
Makes National Bird Gasp.
Editor NewB: Not' long ago there
appeared In an Eastern magazine a
descriptive article relative to a cer
tain city, a paid advertisement, cost
ing for the Issue a Htle less than
$1,0DO.OO. The object of the adver
vertlHement was to attract attention
to that particular city, and It might
be of Interest to some of Roseburg's
''Itlzens, especially our city fathers,
to note that the very first attraction
mentioned was public parks, and the
second the public library. If there
ever was a place on earth blessed by
nature- with park possibilities, it Is
Roseburg, but through the absolute
lack of foresight of our city councils
pnst and gone, we have not enough
park to-pasture one rabbit, although
it might have had at least two of the
most beautiful parkfe in America. The
longer the city postpones the estab
lishment ot a park, the higher the
price that will be demanded for suit
able ground, and the greater loss to
the community, not only in proapec-

BREAKS WRIST WHILE
CRANKING:' . AUTO.
If. Guost, the well known proprie
tor of the Umpqua Bakery, sustained
a painful accident Saturday, while
cranking his Ford automobile. It
seems that the spark was advanced
too far and the kick of the engine
flung the crank handle back with
such force as to break the wrist. The
accident happened about 7 o'clock
Saturday evening In front of the Har
ness & ' Johnson store on Sheridan
street. The family physician was
immediately called and Bet the wrist.
The accident will likely prevent the
use of the Injured arm until fall.

was done in the full of 1910, with. '
very successful results, and last fall
an additional area was seeded.
The method used in planting the
seed! was that known to foresters
as "the seed spot method". Spots
about 6 feet apart each way -were
prepared by pulverhlng the earth
with a garden hoe. Soeda were then
dropped on these spots and lightly
pressed in the soil with the foot.
The flourishing condition ot the
young seedling gives good reason to
expect a future growth of Blgtrees
at this polut. With protection or
forests from lire there seems to be
no reason why the Blgtrees should
disappear, even though scientists re
gard them as survivals from. a past
age, batanlcally speaklug,
