Another business change was made effective lata Saturday night when Manager C. E. Ollphant sold the Pal ace theatre to Honsley Brothers & Wood. The deal had been hanclne fire for sverai days on account of the Inability to obtain a lease. The building in which the theatre Is lo cated is tied up In litigation and the administrator conld not give any def inite term lease. However, the mat ter was straightened -nit. satisfac torily to all parties concerned. It is the Intention of the new nwnm t. conduct the Palace on the same high scale as- has Mr. Ollphant in the past. n the two years that Mr. Ollnhnnt has been here as owner anil num. ager of the Palace he has built up a reputation for himself as a success ful manager. He has given the thea tre going public here a better qual ity theatre than Roseburg has ever had. His road shows have been clean and well selected. His pictures have been of the highest character and educational in value for the most part. In fnct he has raised the plane of thb theatre In this city and his decision to leave Roseburg has been learned with deep regret by his many friends in this community. Within forty days the sound of hammer and saw will ring out at Greens and a modern cannery will be in process or construction. The citizens of that community have, do nated enough and beside the S. P. switch there to locate the plant and In addition they have agreed to bring water from springs and the river to the cannery, a distance of nearly 5,000 feet. Greens is located on the Southern Pacific railway about four miles south of Roseburg and is reached by a good wagon and auto mobile road. It is a growing and prosperous community and has many hundreds of acres round about It under cultivation. H. A. and Fred J. Heavens are the men who are going to engage in the cannery business there.

Harth's To HomeofRegalShoss Headquarters fot Stetson Hats nery and committees from these lo-i callties kept things moving for the! past few weeks in their efforts to I get the location. It was definitely decided last Saturday that the first plant should be built at Greens. It is .not the intention if the Heavens Brothers to abandon the nlon to mm in canneries nl tha ntl,u ... I . iiiaco, ... I fact it is more than nrohnhin that at least one other plant will he ofnrt. ed within the next sixty days. While me location Is not definitely known It is said that Riddle will be the place. lu speaking of the project to a News representative Mr. Fred Heav ens said "We hnvo fully decided to go ahead with the plant at Greens. 'JMs pliant will take care lof the business of this end or the county for at least a year and perhaus long er. We want to locate a nlnni in the southern part of the county and our present intention is to build a plant there, very likely at Riddle. We feel that the business of that nqetkm iof the county demands a cannery and we want to put one there. While the details ot organi zation are not yet complete It is pretty nearly assured that Rlddle-wlli nave a cannery." "What kind of produce will you put up ana wnut will be your brands? was asked by the News reporter. "We will put up all kinds of vege tables, berries and fruit. We are going to have three brands. Our leader will be 'Heavens' brand. The other brands will be known as Ump- qua and Douglas. It may be possible that we will not he able to r.mv right the' Umpqua brand, but If so we win adopt, some other equally appropriate name." "Every piece of goods that we win put out will bear on lis lnl,..i rorduced In Oregon.'" snlri Mr i leavens. "We are going to nut un one, two and a half and five enllnn packages of various products for the notel trade. TIiIb Is something new In tue canning business, but we feel that it will be successful for the reason that the hotels everywhere are nnxlnus to get a canned product In this sized nnokime." It Is probable that If the pinna of Heavens Brothers are carried out that within the next few years a series of canneries throughout Doug las county will be In complete onera tlon. One cannery will he placed In operation at Edeuhowcr within the next eighteen months. Others wil be built U3 the needs of any commu nity demand, 1 Tim Heavens Brothers come to Roseburg well recommended. They are energetic young men of wide ex perience. Their families are al ready here and Roseburg will be their neauquarters for the operation or their plants. This nart of the mm.. try is fortunate in having them come here at this time when canneries art so much needed. U.P.S.P.IWER D.'ssoIved by Decision of Su preme Court.

This Is the culmination of a suit started by tho government In 1907, and every federal conten tion has been maintained.

The plea advanced by the railroad com panies was that the "rule of rnn" should prevail, but tins contention was swept aside by the court, It be ing held that the defendants were "unreasonably restraining trade." The court held that the nttomnts of tho IRunininn ntircets m mc- qulre the Northom Pacific, Saiita Fo and Salt Lake routes constituted nn llegul act. nnd also sustained tho lower court In this part of tho case.
