Twenty-five thousand girls is tho
nverage annual crop of innocent vic

girts into white slavery.
The White Slave victims are "bro.
ken In" In 50 cent and $1 houses fre
quented only by foreigners in large
cities.
The gross earnings of a white
tdave vary from S25 to $200 a week,
one-half of which goes to her owner
unit one-half to the house.
M any of the victims come from
good families and were originally
uh fliicted by White Slavers.
Not a day passes but what five or
six White Slave cases are reported

XKW YORK, Oct. IS. Immigra

Judge Hamilton Spoke on the "Need
of Continuing the Commercial
(.Tub" and J. H. I tooth on
The State Fair.
At a well attended meeting held
last night in the rooms of the Com
mercial Club three addresses were
made which rang with enthusiasm
and which Indicated that there will
be a revival of the activities of the
commercial club.
Judge J. W, Hamilton was the
first speaker and his subject was
"The Need of Continuing the Com
mercial Club". He pointed out by
his remarks that a commercial club
Is a vital necessity to the progress
and development of any community
and that it would he a positive detri
ment to Roseburg to permit tho ac
tivities of the club to cease. A com
mercial club is a barometer of the
progress of the city in which it ex
ists and should be maintained by
the citizens. Judge Hamilton's re
marks made a deep impression on his
auditors.
J. H. Booth, president of the
State Fair Board made a brief talk on
"The Value of the Douglas County
Exhibit at the State Fair to this
County." He stated that Douglas
county has received a world of the
best kind of advertising from tho
exhibit at the fair this year and the
fact that It look the blue ribbon has
made that advertising nil the more
valuable. Mr. Booth stated that
Douglas county should put up an ex
hibit every year nt the fair and with
proper display and proper co-operation
on the part of growers thero
would bo little reason why tho ex
hibit should not be a prize winner
each year.
Tom Richardson, the representa
tive of the Oregon Development
league, was the last speaker. Mr.
Richardson spoke feelingly on the
iip-t f keeping the commercial;,, yoleis should

ardson stated that, too ninny commu
nities are niggardly in their sunport
of the commercial club, that they ex
pect too much from the little mon
ey that they subscribe and that no

of visitors that will visit the const

declared. He then pointed out that
development of the smaller commu

one thing that the people of Port-j
land were aiming at now. He gave

Mr. It'ehnrdson urged the people'
to give liberally to the support of!

was the only organization which sys-j
