who has just returned from Port
land where he has been attend
ing a meeting of the State Highway
Ooimnlssion. With the construction
of several hundred- miles of paved
highway it will become necessary to
employ speedy cops tn order to pre
vent an excessive rate of driving on
the roads. At present several of the
Oounties are maintaining motorcycle
cops bult as yet the roads of Douglas
county are not in a condition to de
jmand such a safeguard. However,
when the Pacific highway has been
completed It will be up to the coun
ty to employ a numbnr of men for
this purpose. Judge Marsters states
that the recent meeting of the com
mission was very successful and a
great deal of important business was
transancted. Douglas county had
ifew matters up for consideration but
received attention in th details list
ed on the program. The Comitock
crossing contract and the Stage road
paw improvements were awarded nnd
a readvertisenient was orduixd for
the Yoncalla section of the highway.

SON OF GREAT LEADER

Popular With Soldiers.
"Teddy" in coming to Oreaou and
will probably speak In Roseburg.
Not the late " T. R." of the big stick
tWe gleam n'g smile, the fearless
words, but the promising son of a
great lather. The announcement of
his trip to 'this section was made to
day when local boys who are inter
ested in the organization of the
American Legion, for worm's war
veterans, mado formal application to
headquarters in Portland, unking
that Lietuenant Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt make Rjosehurg one of his
sftopkdng p lares for an address.
As one of the prime organizers
and well wishers of the American
Legion, the great organization of ex
service men of the world war,
Roosevelt has been indefutiguable in
his efforts to make the Legion n
great .success. Tin re have been ru
mors of personal ambition connecuU
with Ilia work, but he downed trie in
by bis stead f ist refusal to accept
the chairmanship, or any other office
U the organization, at the St. Louis
caucus. This, in spite of the J act
i.hat for nearly an hour the roof of
tile great convention hall trembled
to the shouts of "We want Teddy!"
voiced by delegates from every slate
m the Union.
"Teddy" is now on a speaking
tour of the country in the behalf o!
the Legion. He is due -in Oregon
'ii September. Original dates called
for his appearance in Portland, Sep
tember 17, but it Is very likely thiit
the d'ate will bp changed tor a week
later in order that he may be a
speaker at the first state convention
of the Legion to lw held in Port
land, September 24, 25 nnd 2fi.
The same week that Oregon i
holding its convention the slate of
Washington plnns its state meeting
in Seattle, so that Roosevelt wil !.
able to attend both sessions.
He will not confine his sprakim:
'o Portland and Seattle, however, for
his tour will Inciudo several valley I
cities and probably at least one city

Except for prompt and efficient
