The Leading Jewelers THE HALUMAHIi STORE J THE DECISION'. If the most doubting Thomas on the railroad bond Issue could have been In the office of The News this morning, and listened to the repented calls by telephone, and personal ones and by Interested parties, as to wheth er anything had yet come in from the supreme court, he would have realized the tense Interest In this pro position by the citizens of both the city and county. It would have con vinced him that he wns on the wrong side of the most popular event which has been proposed in this1 city since the time of Its Incorporation, and If every bit of civic pride had not been Bmothered In selfishness, a tinge of shame might have BUffiiBed his face. It was a long forenoon, It has'been a! long tline since Tuesday when the decision had been expected, but the weary and anxious waiting is now over. nd the supreme court has brushed ftKiue objectors anu obstruc tionists alike. In the splendid and Just decision, handed In today, a short synopsis of which will be found on th0 first page. Now then, citizens of Tloseblurg let us (show '.those who -would have stood In the path of ad vancement that they were deluded, .. .. them realize tha-error of thlr wayB, lot us make them' as strong In favor of this development and progress, as they have been bit ter In their antagonlBin. And let us do this by bo caring for the Interest of the city and people in this pro ject, that not a move Ib made which can bo censured, not a dollar ex pended except where It should be.

Mr. Costhow, while representing the plaintiff In the action against the city Is greatly pleased over the out come f the c&se and secretly was hoping that the case would go against his client all the time.

When you come in from a 20 ' or 100 mllo drive on dusty roads It will take you 30 to 60 mln- utes to clean the car. Several Roseburg people have dlscov- ered how to dust and polish a body In a few minutes. They use O'Cednr mops to take off the dust by merely running ov- ! the the surface. The mop siezes i the minute bits of rock and j earth, which mnko dust, without scratching and hold them until the mop Is shnken. Besides, the l use of this mop preserves the varhlsh and does not even wear the surface like frequent and repented washings. Rose- burg people are washing their cars In summer 'but lonce a month, using tho O'Cedar mop the remainder of the time, and they look bettor than the ones washed every three days. Try 4 a 75c or $1.25 mop. For sale by B. W.
