The proposition of handling the
hobo situation consumed the great
er part of the time allotted to the
about I transaction of business at last even
ing's meeting of the city council. I
The matter wag brought to the at- j
tentlon of the council by Councilman
Wright, who said the town was at
present overrun by the hobo element.
To rid the town of this class of tour-!
Ists, Councilman Wright urged the
appointment of two special officers.
Councilman Wright said Roseburg
was the only town along the main
line of the Southern Pacific railroad
whore the hobos were allowed to con
gregate without any apparent fear of;
the officers. "We should keep these!
fellows adrift," Bald Councilman !
Wright, "regardless of the expense '
that it may Incur.
Mayor Mlcelll agreed that the hobo
element was a nuisance, but how to
get rid of them was a question that,
had puzzled his brain for a quarter
of a century.
"The hoboes probably bother me
as much as they do anyone In town,"
Bald the mayor, "and I would be

Councilman Zurcher said ho had
been bothered by hoboes for some
time past, and that only recently one
of them attempted to enter his home
On account of this Incident Council'
man Zurcher said he missed a show
for which he had paid two dollars a
seat.
Marshal Fenton said the city would
have no trouble In handling the ho
bo nuisance In the event they would
arrange a rock pllo.
Mnyor Mlcelll agreed with Fenton
and declared that work was the only
enemy of this class of citizens.
City Engineer Hicks said he be
lieved It would be a wise thing to
round up about twenty of their num
ber and place them at work grading
the parking on South Jnektbn street.
It was Mr. Hick's belief that the
work could be done In thlB manner
cheaper than otherwise.
Mayor Mlcelll came back at Mr.
Hicks In stating that the average
hobo would consume 75 cents worth
of feed a day, while his services
would not exceed 10 cents.
Recorder Wlmherly nlso joined In
tho discussion, stating that upon one
occasion a hobo even went so far ns
to steal a Bhovel which had been
loaned him while at work.
Following tho discussion, Mnyor
Mlcelll was authorized to employ an
addttlonnl officer, whose sole duty It
will be to rid the town of tramps.
Mayor Mlcelll said he would probably
engage Have McClelland, who was
most efficient In this particular line
of work.
Maginnis Brothers were grnnted
extension of time, terminating on
November 10. In which to complete
the Improvement of Vista and Over
look avenues.
Mayor Mlcelll mildly opposed the
extension of time on the grounds that
the contractors should be more care
ful in setting their time of complet
ing contrnrts when bidding. The may
or said tho engineer's force was quite
expensive, nnd Hint the work should
bo executed as fast as possible in all
enscs.
Mr. Robert Ashwnrth complained
j relative to the condition of the slde
I walks abutting the l.nne property on
I Washington street. The matter was
! referred to the committee on city Im
i provements. I'pon suggestion of this
I committee the marshal was tnstruct
j ed to notify the owners- of walks on
the street mentioned to repnlr the
I same at one or rebuild new mes.
j The bond of the city treasurer was
: fixed at $5,000. while the bond of
' the recorder was plared at $2.00. In
ench Instance they must be of the
surety variety, the city to stand the
exoenso of the same.

asking that he be allowed to construct
five foot shlewnlks flush with tho
curb, on cither side of Chadwlck
street, Vista avonuo nnd Overlook
avenue was returned by the city Im
provement committee last evening.
The committee ssked that thnt part
of the petition referring to five foot
sidewalks be denied and that Mr.
Hamilton be compelled to ci-nstruci
standard walks of six feet In width.
The remainder of the petition was
granted.
Councilman Strong, of the city Im
provement committee, said he hml In-
vestlgated the remonstrance of prop
erty owners on North Jaokwn street
protesting against the construction
i of new sidewalks, and had found
manv of their walks to he In sood

cilman Strong ssld that several new
walksi were in course of ennstriftlon,
while others were being rennlred. The
remonstrances were ro-rfeTed to

A. H. Carson, commissioner
of horticulture with headquar
ters at Medford, stopped over in
Roseburg last evening while
enroute home after a few days
spent at Portland. Mr. Carson
is authority for the statement
that the prune crop of Douglas
county was larger thlB year
than ever before. According
to figures computed by Mr.
Carson, DougtaB county this !
year produced 6,600.000
provement of Oak street, from Kane
to Chadwlck street.
Ordinances placed on their third
readings last night and adopted by
the council follow:
Establishing of a grade and Im
provement of Winchester street, from
Beacon street to the city HmltB.
Establishment of a grade on Wat

It is also rumored that Deputy
