Why I V; ? The Monarch Range Leads All 1. The Monarch is made of MALLEABLE ironand is rivited like a skyscraper; 2. A cast iron or grey iron range cannot be rivitecS but must be bolted and nutted. Alter-fiv or seven years use grey iron ranges are full of cracks and leak at every joint. 3. The Monarch Range, being malleable and rivet ted, remains tight and burns no more fuel than in the first year. 4. The Duplex Draft on the Monarch saves fuel. Come to our store, we will show this, the three wall con struction and many other points. ' it 5. Roseburg prices on The Monarch are $5 to $10 lower than in Portland. B. W.

JUSTARRIVED ANOTHER CAR Famous Red Ribbon Flour Feed; Hay, Barley, Shorts Mill Feed and Bran During the month of August, 1912, the Publicity Department ot the Commercial Club sent out 126? pieces of mall. Inquiries were received from 27 states, the Phllllplne Islands, Canada and France. As usual, . tho largest number of Inquiries came from California with Oregon second and Washington third. Of the eastern states, the largest number of inquiries were re ceived from Illinois, with Mlnneasota second, Missouri third, Oklahoma fourth and North Dakota fifth. A larger number of Inquiries than us ual were received from Canada, and less inquiries than usual from the Intermountaln States.

There have been quite a number ot people located in Douglas County on this railroad land during the past two months, be lieving that occupation will give them title, but It has been the policy of the Commercial Club to advise all who make Inquiry about this railroad land that until the question of title Is decided, it Is very doubtful If any means , can be employed to obtain even a shadow of title to this land. Nine persons asked for copies of the local papers, which were sent, but If the terrific duel between our local publishers continues, perhaps It will not be safe to send out our 1 papers tor a time. Several correspondents stated that they were Informed that a railroad would be built from Roseburg to the CoaBt soon, and asked whether or not construction had commenced, and If not, how soon It would commence. It was deep sorrow that we Informed them that construction bad not yet commenced, nor did we know when it would. Among the substantial Inquiries was one from a gentleman in Canada, who Informed us that a large number of people located there, formerly res idents of the United States, were much disappointed with the climatic conditions In that country, and there fore wished to return to some lo cality where climate conditions were more attractive. In Mb letter he stated that the colony looking for a location numbered 400 people, and that they had at the time of writing a number of scouts out looking over various sections ot the country; that within a reasonable time some of their number would visit Roseburg and the Umpqua Valley. He Indicat ed that the choice of locations had narrowed down to the Umpqua Valley In Oregon, a certain valley in Cali fornia and a large tract In Mexico, the social conditions In Mexico being such that that location was not being seriously considered. Another writer states that seven families expect to move to Oregon as soon as crops are harvested this fatl, and others state that several families In their Immediate neighborhood In tends to come to the Northwest after harvest. Douglas County literature has been sent to all these prospective citizens, and without question Influences them in favor of this community. One of the men Interested In the construction of the railroad through Roseburg handed us a little boquet while here. After making Inquiry as to the amount available for ad vertising, he stated that for the mon ey expended Roseburg Is the best odvertlsed locality In the West, as for as his knowledge went. He went on to say that without question Rose burg and the Umpqua Valley were becoming more widely known all the time, and In the course of time our exceptional climate would attract many thousand to this locality, even If we had very few other Inducements. His advance was to keep up the good work and Roseburg would be the sec ond city In Oregon. The Publicity Department expects to send several varieties of products to Portland to be used In the Oregon car, which will visit the various land shows, and is preparing an attrac tive exhibit of Umpqua Valley pro ducts to be placed In the Club Rooms. The Publicity Department received quite an exhibit from Dr. Bailey to be used with the Oregon Exhibit, and Mr. George Neuner, Sr., kindly fur nished the club with a sufficient num- The Inquiries Indicate that 31 per cent of the people make general in qulry only, 11 per cent ask particul arly about general farming land, 23 per cent make specific Inquiry re lative to homestead land, 8 per cent ask particularly In regard to fruit raising, 3 per cent Jask tor very cheap land, the balance or the in quiries being Btock,' poultry raising dairying, etc. The Inquiries for positions in bus! ness houses were much fewer than usual. The Inquiries for business openings were also smaller In num ber than Is generally received In the course of any month. Only one cor respondent states that he Is willing to do work of any kind. Men with trades asked relative to the chances for work about 4 per cent of the In quiries being of this nature. The Inquiries for maps were mare numerous than usual, and not month passes but what there are many Inquiries for official maps of Douglas County. The change In the homestead liwi has Increased the number ot Inqui ries relative to homesteads materially and a large number of those who In quire relative to homestead land ask that we furnish a map of Doug las County, showing the location of these lands. Inquiries relative to the land "won ( by the United States government from the railroad company" were also more numerous than usual, the writers In- dlcatlng a desire to come out and lo- I cate on this land If 160 acres of lev.

Through the courtesy ot the Southern Pacific Railway Com pany, the Club Is permitted to for ward these exhibits without charge to Portland, where they are taken care ot by an experienced man, who will arrange each country's exhibits so as to show Its products to the best ad vantage.
