LOCALBOYSOF 65TH
Immense Throng Gathers at
Train to Pay Homage and
Extend Best Wishes.
BOYS IN HIGH SPIRITS
Many Boxes of Delicacies I'l-esented
Hoys Enthusiastic to lteucli
The Other Side and Get
Into Active Service.
Fully two thousand patriotic
ltoseburg folk, lined the station plat
form this morning to greet the
Koseburg and Douglas county mem
; bers of the 65th artillery regiment
who were given a send oil that has
: never been equalled in this city.
i The first section, carrying several
; hundred soldiers, arrived at 9:4a,
closely following the regular morn
ing train No. 53, and a few minutes
behind e first contingent of boys
came the second. The local boys
were divided, several being on t-he
first and several on the second divis
ions. However, as both sections
stopped here at the same time, the
platform was jammed with the rela
tives and friends of the young sons
of Old Glory, who were tendered the
best wishes of their many hundreds
of friends. The various business
houses and schools closed in order
that their employes ana scholars
could meet the train, and in fact ev
ery one for miles around1 gathered
to pay homage to our boys who are
advancing into the struggle now
with a vital object in view to do
their big bit to sacrifice all pos
sible' that their nation might live.
Hundreds of boxes filled with
delicacies of all kinds wei handed
the young soldiers who will enjoy
a feast that Is fit for the gods from
their own home town. The Red
Cross presented the boys with eight
boxes of Umpqua valley's best apples
and the Honor Guard packed two Im
mense boxes filled with chocolates,
fruit, cigarettes, jam, jelly, cookies
and gum, the two thoughtful gifts
l muring the boys of good eats for
many days to come.
The Roseburg and Douglas county
hoys attached to the 65th are Lieu
tenant John J. Kernan, - Sergeants
Archie Milllgan, George Willett,
and Privates Bert Bates, John
McClintock, Alfred Lilly, Herbert
Quine, Clarence Tester, Wm. Barker.

Moorhead, a former local boy, who
was to accompany the 65th was re
cently operated on for appendicitis
and is confined to the hospital at
Fort Stevens. Archie Young, a broth
er of Mrs. Jack Wharton, of this
city was aboard as' was also Corporal
Glenn Plymale, of Medford, . a
cousin of Mrs. George Bolter. A
number of relatives of other Rose
burg people were aboard, each one
receiving a warm welcome here.
The beautiful spring sunshine that
lias been prevalent during the entire
day was ablaze during the train's
stop over here and the Intense feel
ing of sorrow that engulfed every
heart over the thought of losing
many of our favorite sons was some
what lessoned by this glorious touch
of nature,
It was with tremendous pride that
we sent our boys off today with the
knowledge that they are going forth
with brave hearts, with smiles of
confidence 'Into the mighty struggle
fighting side by side for the cause
of humanity as well as of country
some of them sacriflceing thoir lives
(hot the union and liberty of their
fathers might survive.
.We point with pride also to the
fact ithot when our country called
for volunteers the boys of Douglas
county Including the local members
of the 65th were among the first to
respond to tho pleo for service and
in offering .their lives thoy did so
with courage not so much In a spirit
of resignation as in a sense of do
ing their bit for Old Glory and for
world peace. The shutters of their
souls some how flow open and they
responded to the call of patriotism
and service with unwavering foot
steps.
Although not definitely known as
to tho time of sailing for France the
boys are of the opinion that they
will be on their way ere many days
have passed for at the present time
the 65th is fully prepared to enter
into active duty because of their
1 long period of training at the fort
Enthusiasm is at the highest pitch
among tho members of the 65th, who
are Intensely-Impatient to reach the
"other side ' and "hand the Huns a
few speed balls from the guns of
tho Oregon boys.
When Interviewed by a News rep
resentative this morning a young
lieutenant explained that the boys
were splendidly equipped and were
"it In the finest physical trim imag
inable. "They are the finest btnrh
ol young fellows In the state," de
clared the officer, "and I truly feel
sorry far Old Bill Kaiser, if they
ever get the high hand over him.
They are afraid of nothing, and are
equal to any occasion. We're going
to fight together to the man and the
people of your little city can rest as
sured that their boys will be taken
care of, and I trust that they will all
return to you some day.
Many rumors as to the time of ar
rival of the 65th were abroad last
evening, and as a consequence many"
locul people held: sluraberless parties
at the depot where they declared
their intentions of camping until the
boys arrived.- In the early morning
hours a troop train arrived convey
ing a large company ' of soldiers
from Van'cojUver, .who were igLven
food and cigarettes by the local peo
ple who have the interest of every
soldier boy at heart. According to
the local-boys they were given re
ceptions all along the line and were
presented with many good eats from
the citizens of other towns.
At 10:45 the last troop train pull
ed out Jlils morning and the hearts
of all were heavy as they bid fxre
well to our boys. Acclamations and
best wishes were called as the train
slowly ,'wended' Its way southward
conveying the many brave lib
erty lads to the battle "torn fields of
Europe where they will add their
bit to that of hundreds of other pat
riotic Americans in the interest of
the Stars and Stripes. The confi
dence and' trust cf every . Roseburg
citizen Is with them In their strug
gle and on that day when victory
has been won, when the security of
democracy is established and a world
justice assured by their aid, they
will be welcomed: as the saviors of
humanity back to the city of roses,
where they can dwell in peace for
ever more.

DEFENSIVE WORKS
THE FOOD SURVEY
REPORT TABULATED
information Received by C. J.
Hurd Shows Increase
Wheat Acreage. ;
CROP OUTLOOK IS FINE
Poity Per Cent of Douglas County's
Farmers Mako a Report , on
Spring; Wheat Good Show-
ing in Community.
County Agriculturalist C. J. Hurd,
under whose supervision the govern
ment food survey has been conducted
in Douglas county, is today prepar
ing a tabulation of the results obtain
ed in this community which are to be
forwarded to the head office at Port
land and later turned over to the
food administration officials at
Washington, D. C, who are anxious
to know the food situation through
out the United States.
According to Mr. Hurd, the wheat
outlook for the coming year is near
ly 100 per cent better than last. The
reports now in, from about 40 per
cent .of the farmers throughout this
community show an increase of 3700
acres over the preceding r yeaiy and
this figure ought to be indicative of
what has been done along the line of
increased food production all over
the county.
Information received by Mr. Hurd
shows that In 1917 the farmers who
made reports on the situation had
sown only 2318 acres to fall wheat
whereas this year, in view of the big
struggle ahead, where food counts
I most, 4347 acres have been planted,
j A great increase of spring wheat is
j also noted. In 1917, 1162 acres were
set to spring wheat, this year 2824
acres have been sowed. A materia!
increase is readily seen;
In reality, the foregoing tabula
tions do not show a very large acre
age planted io wheat. . However, it
la very, gratifying , to note the vast
increase over the previous years. It
also signifies that the farmer, who
must be depended on largely to feed
our fighting men has taken the situa
tion in hand, and is putting forth
strides to ameliorate the existing con
ditions as far as possible.
"The condition of spring wheat,"
said Mr. Hurd, "when interviewed
today, "is probably 50 per cent bet
ter this year than last. Winter wheat
is also looking good and I have no
ticed particularly where the land has
suitable drainage that the crop is
looking the best I've seen It.
The food survey opened in this
county February 16 and closed Feb
ruary 23. During that period over
700 farmers, who were supplied with
the necessary blank forms through
Mr. Hurd's office have made returns
and it is from these reports that the
food situation in the county will be
determined. Other like Information
will be asked from the food produc
ers, at different Intervals during the
year and eventually the exact con
ditions as they exist throughout the
United States will be fully known
by the government officials.
It is of the utmost importance
that the food administration author
ities have complete data at hand
from all parts of the country so that
the amount of food stuffs that are to
be turned out from all sections will
be known and with this in view a
careful study of the expected crops
will be made.

A number of young people caused
a great commotion in the vicinity of
the Liberty theatre last evening
when the atmosphere about the ad
jacent district was fairly filled with
howls of laughter. The entire neigh
borhood for several blocks -around
were seriously disturbed by the bois
trous laughter and a "We're from
Missouri" party was quickly formed
to inquire In the theatre, ns to the
seemingly undue hilarity.- Upon
reaching the door if the play house
and casting their heads in the portals
tho searching party were heard to
"shriek" with the mysterious "gig-
glers" within and a News represen
tative, unable to quell the Intense
feeling of cariosity went for a look
In just for satisfaction. Lo! there
upon the stage was assembled a num
ber of popular young people of the
town who were in the act of rehears
ing their various acts for tho Honor
Guard vaudeville, which is scheduled
for this evening.
When the participants are inspir
ed to laughter from watching their
own acts there must be something
tremendously worth while and funny
to see, and to this any one will agree
when they visit the Liberty on Wed
nesday and are forced to hold their
sides. Every act Is a scream and

To givethe county employes

Judge Hamilton called a halt

the trial of the State vs. P. D.

jurists were extending the
glad .hand ;to the boys in

chlnery was again set In mo-

overshadowed all. else, .and It

hearts each day.
'

managers of the vaudeville, Clark L.
Bargar and Roy E, Bellows, request
that all fruit and vegetables be left

conventional manner. Most everyone
in the city is planning on dropping

SCHEDULE MADE
Expepses of Getting Goods to
City Patrons Will Be
. Partly Eliminated. 1
TAKE EFFECT MARCH 15
Two Deliveries Each. Day, Morning
and Afternoon Is the Plan Now
Detised By The Local
Business Houses. '
- At a special meeting of the Mer
chants Association held last evening
action was taken on the matter of
reducing the number . of deliveries
made each day to the residents of
Roseburg. At the present time there
are four deliveries each day, two in
the morning and a like number In
the afternoon. It is now proposed
to have but two 'deliveries each day,
morning and afternoon, thus doing
away with the additional expense in
curred by the merchants in deliver
ing their wares. According to the
decision reaohed . at ; the special
meeting last night the new system
will be installed the 15th of March,
though full and definite plans have
not been fully perfected and there
may be a few minor changes.
According to present plans the
division point of the new schedule
will be Cass street. The first morn
ing delivery will Meave the north
side at 7:45 for the resident dis
trict south of Cass street and at
iO o'clock for all that district north
of Cass. In the afternoon the same
route will be taken and this new
system of delivery will probably re
sult in the homes' north of Cass
street being served later than hereto
fore, however, this may be adjust
ed 'when the new schedule Is put into
effect and in perfect working order.
According to those interested in
the change the elimination of four
deliveries to two each day will cut
down the expenses Incurred about
one-fifth to the merchants of the
city, which, when taken into consid
eration, means quite a saving to
those concerned, and while the deliv
ery -service will not be as prompt
and frequent as usual will work no
hardship when patrons - become ac
customed to the new schedule.
Another matter which was dis
cussed by the members of the asso
ciation last evening was that of en
couraging the use of potatoes as a
substitute Instead of the many other
grain products used: in ' making
bread. Resolutions were passed ask-
ine that 100 pounds of spuds be
used to every 50 pounds of flour,
owing to the fact that there Is an
abundance of potatoes in the market
while H Is Just the reverse with the
other substitutes. Many families
throughout the state have already
began the use of the potato as a part
of the ingredients oA their bread
and with 'excellent success. It will
no doubt meet with the approval of
all Roseburg housekeepers who are
exerting every effort to conserve on
food stuffs during the present crisis.

Work Listing and Valuing All
Taxable Property to Com
. mence March 1st..
NO CHANGE VALUATION
If Tux payers Will Prepare IJst Of
PerjKHial lVoperty, Expense of
Field Work Will Be .
Cut Materially.
County Assessor Guy Cordon to
day announced the field deputies,
who are to list and value all taxable
property in their alloted districts for
the 1918 assessment roll, commenc
ing March 1, and continuing until
this Important work Is fully com
pleted. According to Mr. Cordon,
the law requires that all taxable
property shall be assessed in the
name of the owner at one o'clock
a. m March 1. The field deputies
have been instructed to assess all
taxable property in their respective
districts at Its true cash value and
owing to the fact that it has been
decided that little or bo change Is
to be made in the assessed valua
tion of real . estate this year, the
field deputies principal work will be
the valuing' and listing, of personal
property., In this connection it may
be noted that the law heretofore en
forced required, the assessor to col
lect all taxes on personal property
not secured by real estate was modi
fied by a law passed by the 1917 leg
islature, so that now the assessor is
required to collect only In cases
where the personal property is about
to be dissipated or removed from
the county.
"It Is wellj also," said Mr. Cordon
today, "for all purchasers : of per
sonal property to remember that the
enactment above referred to makes
the tax on such property a lien on '
the same after March 1, consequently
any personal property purchased
subsequent to March 1 is taken over
Biibject to the tax for that year.
Heretofore such -was not the case,
the tax on personal property fol
lowing the owner March 1, and not
the property as is now the case. . If
all taxpayers, will have a list of tax-
abel property made out for the dep
uty when he calls, It will materially
reduce the- expense connected with
the field work.V
