Miss James loft Port land about a week ago and has been In this city resting from the work of the winter. Sho left this morning for Ashland wueve she will again take up her work. In spuuklng of the hotel at which he wns a guest, Miss Jumcs Bald: For attractiveness of rooms, effic iency of aervico, and for true com fort, I havo never seen Its equal. Tho courtesy shown by tho em nloyes and the consideration shown lor the comfort of the guests Is something that cannot be found even .in tho hotels in tho largest cities which It has tieen my privilege to visit." It is such statements as these that prove the greatest advertisements for the city, and Mr. Weaver, the manager of tho popular hotol has proven himself to be a man who can accomplish results for the better ment of Roseburg. His policy of keeping a huge and beautiful bou quet of roses on the hotel desk has resulted In comments which reach all parts of the United States, and in this way tho RoBeburg rose Is .be coming known as one of America's moBt benutlful flowers.

At a spe ci'al meeting of the stockholders of the resuscitated Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company here today, It was ex pected that an increase in the capi tal stock will be authorized, making the amount (4,000,000 Instead of JI. 000,000. New money Is to be pro vided to pay for throe vessels re cently purchased. This Insures the restoration of the American flag to the trans-Pacific service. The offer has been underwritten, without a commission, by the Amorican Inter national Corporation and W. R. Grace & Co. The old Pacific Mall Steamship T'ompany was in the process of liq uldatlon, following the enactment of the La Folletto Seamen's law, when the Southern Pacific's controlling in terest was acquired by the American International Corporation und W. R. Grace & Co. The five largest vessels had al ready been sold to the International Mercantile Marine Company, but seven coastwise vessels, the largest of 7,800 tons displacement, were transferred to the new interests. They own much Pacific Mail stock bought In the open market after the reduction In capitalization from twenty million to one million dollars and are understood to own now about 75 per cent of the stock. Three new vessels, the Venezuela, Colum bia and Ecuador, built in Holland last year, have recently been pur chased from the Royal Dutch West India mail line, to be put into ser vice on the Pacific, running from fean Francisco to Japan, China, and the Philippines, thus restoring the American flag t0 trans-Pacific service. For the 12 months ended with February the total earning of the Pacific Mail were $1,004,930, and profits $371,488, against $271,264 earned last year. G. J. Baldwin, president, says revenues from the Panama line during tho ensuing 12 months should exceed tho earnings of last years and that the net reve nue from the three new steamers should excoed the total net revenue from the balance of the fleet In .the current flBcnl year. Tho American International Cqr poration is thought to own what nnioiints to a controlling Interest In the International Mercantile Ma rino, having acquired, according to report, 30 per cent, of the stock In tho open market In the last few weeks.

Wish. Here is a letter received by the ltosoburg Commercial club from 'the secretary or tho lloqulam Com ; mercial club: lloqulain. Wash., May 11, 1916. 'Sum S. Josephson, I Rosehuj'K, Oregon. Dear Sir: i Referring to your letter of the Sth, I will say: By all means vole tho bonds nnd thereby "secure a flaw ' mill of 230.000 daily capacity. It ' will make your city. The city of lloqulam has practically no other Industry which would contribute to city support, except Its lumber in-1 flustry. It is a clean business and a mill of that capacity should add greatly to the earning capacity of your town. The mills are the life of : lloqulam, and at thi8 time they are running all of them to their capacity ' limit. Then aside from this, the would for the most part do their trading In liosehure. It would pay you to vote the bonds, even though the railroad did nothing more than to open up your timber lands, and make them tributary to your city. In this town we have a monthly pay roll of something like $400,000, and 1 dare say that four-fifths of this amount Is contributed by the lumber Industry. Yet we have no single mill here with tne capacity of the one you propose. Hoquiam is a city 25 years old, and haB a population' of over' 12,000. It. began in the lumber In dustry, and is still in it. 1 would ad vise you to vote the bondB, for the Industry will double your population in four years and maybe less time than that. Wishing you success, I am Youra truly, MILTON H. H. LEE, Executive Secretary, Hoquiam Com mercial Club. According to the United States census reports, Hoquiam had in 1890 a population of 1302, In 1900 2,608, and In 1910 8.171. In 1916 it has 12,000. Compare this with the growth of Roseburg, over 60 years old and has only half the population and one tenth the pay roll. And this In spite of the fact that Roseburg has hundreds of thousands of acres of fine agricultural land around It and tributary to It. This one in dutrv of cutting our timber will do more In five yearB for Roseburg than oil of oir other advantages have accomplished In 60 years. Will you go to the polls next Monday and vote yeB? We think so. HOTEL UMPQUA ROSEBURG, OREGON EUROPEAN PLAN 116 Rooms, 4 4 with Private Bath Rates $1.00 per day up. W. J. WEAVER, Prop. G. W. YOUNG 1), B.

Before closing their session last night the city council empowered the street committee to purchase as muny of the street signs such as the one which has been in use for some time, as they deem necessary to con trol the traffic. This move was be lieved essential in controlling the ; heavy traffic during the carnival week at which time there will be hundreds of atitos and teams on the streets. They will probably be of more substantial material and will be placed at all the intersections on, Cnss and Jackson streets. j , The one which was designed by Henry Hartli and made by Klsner & Marsh has proved very effective. In-' stead of the usual cutting of cor-' ners ;at the intersections, the autos are forced to keep to the. right and in doing so lessen materially the danger of accident. When first in stalled the sign was the means of causing several arrests of violyators and the money realized from fines was much more than the cost which is very small considering the effec tiveness. while at the present time she needs only 490 to be on a par with Mrs. Bargar. Lois Brand still leads for Chil dren's Queen, but has only 375 votes more than Verus Houser. The con test will close tomorrow, the first count to be held at 10 a. m., and the last at 8 p. m. The exact count was as follows: Mrs. C. L. Bargar 2100 Jessie Pickens 1610 Katherine Merrill 850 ClUhlren's Queen. Lois Brands .....1085 Verus Houser 1610 A number of young ladies this aft ernoon began selling the carnival hats on the streets and within a few hours over two hundred were dispos ed of. What's the difference tierween story telling traveling men nnd sheep? Traveling men bring their tnioK to the fore, Kliwp I-.cep theirs behind. Mrs. Bargnr was still found to be the lea7Thg candidate in the race for Carnival Queen, with Miss Pickens still in second place at the count which was made this afternoon. Miss Pickens, however, has cut the lead almost in half as at the former count she was 790 votes behind. I,lt,tle Ro-IVrp she lost her sheep nnd didn't know whoro to find them!
