CO. COURT ADJOURNS
. VERY BUSY SESSION
After one of the busiest sessions to
be held tor many montns, tne Coun
ty Court adjourned last night, hav
ing completed the business tor the
term. Aside from the usual routine
the chief matter of importance was
roads and this question is one which
caused a great deal of discussion and
agitation, During the past few years,
In which County Judge Marsters has
been at the head of county affairs,
more roads have been built and im
proved than ever before In the history
of the county and if the policy of the
present court Ib carried out, Douglas
County will have the best system of
highways of any county In the state,
So, judiciously has the court acted
that practically every cent spent by
the county has been more than
matched by the State or Government
and millions of dollars have been
spent in the past and will be spent
in the future on the thoroughfares
of the communities. The court has
aecided to advertise for sale, the re
mainder of the authorized road bonds
and expects to spend the greater part
of it during the coming season on
construction, which has oeen ordered
and which will become Units in per
manent highways. The policy is to
build good lateral roads into each
district of the county and build them
in such a manner that they will not
be a continuous expepsa and liability
but an asset to the county.

BOLSHEVIK! AGENTS
"Bolshevikl Men's Majority", "Who
are .the majority?" "Tho Workers'
"Let the Workers rule this nation'
"Join the I. W. W.". Such is . the
propaganda being scattered broad
cast throughout the country by the
agents of the "Red Terror", who are
even now baring tnelr tangs in an
attempt to paralyze the Industry of
the Pacific Coast. No community is
imune from them and they have even
resorted to the spreading of Inflam
matory literature, such as the above
through the cities of the coast. The
card with the above words was taken
from a transient this morning by
Chief of Police Shambrook who im
mediately told the individual that his
class was not desired in Roseburg,
and oonducted him out of the city
limits; The wanderer stated that the
cards were being used freely among
the strikers of Seattle, where he has
been located and that every member
of the organization carries them. Af
ter questioning the fellow about his
destination and examining him as a
suspect of a recent burglary, he was
sent out of town with an admonition
to "stay out".
TO RESUME WORK
MARSHFIELD, Ore., Feb. 8. Re
ports about the city that all opera
tions or the p. A. smitn uo., naa
been ordered closed In this district,
were emphatically denied by General
Manager A. G. Stearns. The Eastslde
milli' said Mr. Stearns, was closed
because of the lack of oil for fuel,
due to the impossibility of the oil
tanker; Whlttler, crossing the 'dis
turbed bar. That the plant will run
as soon as the Whitter delivered) her
caTgo, was the. asoertion of Mr.
Stearns. Concerning the large mill,
a telegram was received from Messrs.
Bole and Denman last night, said Mr.
Stearns, order in the reconstruction
work going on In that plant stopped
until their arrival which is expected
tomorrow. This, in Mr. Stearns' be
lief, is due to the fact that the re
ceivers wish to overlook and super
vise the work themselves,

Light and Power Company to supply

yesterday by C. McC Johnson, promi

ALEXANDER BRIDGE
IN NEED OF REPAIR
It has been reported to the County
Court, that the Alexander Bridge, in
the southern part of the city, Is In a
very dangerous condition end badly
In need of repair. On account of this
bridge being private property, no ac
tion could be taken by the court to
caUBe the needed- repairs to be made.
It was stated that the structure is
badly out of line and is leaning to
a very noticeable extent to the south
and that the passage of a vehicle over
it, causes it to vibrate dangerously.
The bridge is situated at the City
limits, across to the Alexander addi
tion, which was opened only a few
years ago. At the time the property
was placed on the market, the bridge
was built from private funds and an
effort made to induce the city to pur
chase it- together with a large and
beautiful park site. The city, how
ever, turned down the proposal and
the bridge remained private property
out or tne jurisdiction of the court.
