There is furniture in your mother's home that you remember there as far back as memory goes beds and chairs probably, that are endeared to you through, the very fact of your long as sociation with them. But unless you are careful in buying, your little boys and girls will not have the pleasure of seeing the furniture of their childhood days when they grow up. . The Furniture we sell is made from, the very best and most thoroughly 'sea soned lumber it has been treated in the good, old fashioned way, and made by cabinet makers who folljw the old reliable methods of construction. That's why it pays to buy Furni ture here. A. J. LILBURN & SON The Complete House Furnishers n m 4 MORE DAYS OF CONTEST A Few Hundred Thousand Votes May Change Result.

The Pioneer lllxtory of South western Oregon is Eminently Worthy of Consideration. Roseburg, Ore., June 15, '15 To the Edtor: It is my purpose to continue to of- for a prize for the best paper on Southwestern Oregon history written by a pupil In the Douglas county schools and, for the benefit of all concerned, permit me to state the purpose of the work and to give some of the conditions necessary to success. Local history Is- of educational value; It Interests pupils In things close at hand, causes them to appre ciate their environment, enables them to utilize their literary ability and training upon subjects within, the range of their understanding, and gives them experience in' synthetic historical work. When one has had even a little experience with the pro cess by which history Is written, haB been brought face to face with the necessity of the comparison of sources of information, the elimina tion of unimportant details, and the selection of salient . and significant factB, he comes to realize'as he could 'In no other way the problems that confront the historical student. He acquires a point of view that will en able him the better to estimate and appreciate theefforts of others.

OREGON Ohio, the Cumberland, the Missouri tho Arkansas, the Brazos, and the Willamette valleys were not striking ly unlike the corresponding move ments Into the valleys of the Ump qua and the Rogue. Boone's Wilder ness Road had its prototype in the Applegate 'Cut-Off ; the pack trains and freighters from ScottsDiirg to Jacksonville were not unlike those upon the Santa Fe trail. Things near at hand are not neces sarily commonplace, nor does re moteness give Intrinsic worth. It Is possible that, If the money and ef forts which have been devoted to the Importation of European art had been used for the promotion of American art, wo might by this time have developed an art more pdapted to our-national needs and more suit ed to our personal growth. We Amer icans have been a migratory people and it has produced in us the pecu liar anomaly that, while we are. the most progressive people on the earth The oioneer history of Southwest- nl08t confidently toward em Oregon Is eminently worthy ofi the future, wo at the same time are consideration.

Imnf--" "olnts, espei those likely to be doubted or to arouse controversy, should be vouch ed for by font notes, giving authority or reasons for the view expressed. Tho pnper should he a clear and def inite report of opinions formed after full consideration of all available sources of Information. "nB the many excellent papers submitted during the school year ending in liny 1915 the most com mon shortcoming was the use of on'y one or two sources. The subject should be chosen at the earliest tim" possible and several months should be devoted to the gathering of ma terial. These materials should he compared and contrasted and sifted; then resulting opinions should be re ported In tho clearest, and most in teresting manner possible.

Land i'j:.'?'arR rtill standing uid nicny :)( thi pioneers are still anion?; We should preserve the story of their sacrifices and achievements. The Uinpcjua valley had no i' ymouth liojk, but it had pilgrim i-.iiieis un.. pilgrim mothers every whit as noble and worthy as any who cleared fields or built cabins on the Atlantic coast. I C.ip'tain John Smith was not so for-l ti:nato as to find this valley; butj there were among our first settlers many characters as romantic and pic turesque as the "Savior of Jau.cs t i',vn." A study of this tks at-luind his- ! lory will furnish punUs with a l"v for the Interpretation of similar move ments In other parts of the country. The -white man's conquest of the in the home, it would be easy to il lustrate the paper . by means of drawings, maps and photographs. Among the fundamental questions that concerned a pioneer people, may be mentioned land, roads or transpor tation, commerce or markets, finance, building material, fuel, water, game, crops; Indians, mines, schools, churches, social customs, amuse ments, etc. These suggest a wide range of subjects'. The history of a locality, a I person, an Industry, a road, the mail service, a stage line, a house of accommodation for travel ers, a cemetery, a railroad, religious or educational or social movement, -would be Interesting. Those who are considering this , work would do well to consult early-" 1 settlers and to read the' files of oU newspapers; church records, school board minutes,' and town council pro ceedings would be excellent sources of Information; and a letter to the state librarian at Salem, to the Ore gon Historical Society at Portland, or to the School of History in the Uni versity of Oregon at Eugene would receive due consideration. An excellent paper on local his tory by a high school pupil appeared In last week's Issue of the Riddle Tribune. It Is a well balanced, logic al .sensible story and needs very lit tle except a bibliography, or note upon sources, to make it all that could be desired. It. will be well, if from time to time other papers can be prepared and published. Pupils will receive valuable training and, by learning of our pioneers, we shall give "honor to whom honor Is due." R. G. HALL. COST OF FAltNOr TRANSCRIPT "TO FALL OX DOUGLAS COUNTY W. W. Cardwell, attorney for Roy Farnum, convicted of manslaughter, had affidavits prepared this after noon, stating that both Roy Farnum and- his father were financially un able to pay the cost of having a transcript made whereby they would be enabled to carry the case to the supreme court qf the state. Judge Skipworth gave them an or der this morning to have one made, providing they could show they were unable to have it done. Mrs. E'-eh-n Johnson stated this afternoon that the transcript would make 3,000 pages and perhaps more, each p.iff'i having 250 to 275 words on it. 't the rate of 1 5 Vents per hunt'.-td words this transcript will cost the taxpayers of this county something in the neighborhood of -$1,200.
