Ibiwehnrg Field Heat. "The Roseburg field is by far the best in Oregon, and with the excep tion of .Mather field the best on the coast for landing De Havilands. said Major Smith, commanding the squa ' dron. it has the advantage that Is found very seldom that of being able to land up hill, no matter from what direction the wind is blowing. It is also large enough to permit landing at full speed if desired and haB no obstruction for a get away." The iplanes in landing Saturday alighted perfectly coming to a stop in a very short distance. Each, as it landed, was jockeyed to safety, so that the ship following would have no obstruction. "Well boys, we'll eat here," said the Major, Immediately alter the landing had been made. "There is no better place on the coast to stop In so we'll stay over night." So followed by lieutenants Sham. Webb. Mc Henry and Wright, and Sergeants Blanton, Thomas and Sta cy, he went with local business men to the I'nipqna Hotel, where the aviators and mechanics spent the night." In commenting on the change of base. Major Smith stated that the action was taken only because Eu gene -is mor,e centrally located and is situated In a better position, geo graphically, than the two cities now being used as bases for the aerial patrol. However, Roseburg will be used as a frequent stopping place and the De Havilands will frequent ly Btop here. The patrol will go out daily from Eugene and will cover all the forests both !East and West of the railroad through the state. IXTKHKHT IX (X)HX SHOW.

" LIKE THE I Sailors Ask to Be Discharged Here Instead of Being Sent to Eastern Homes. MOVIES FASCINATING Office iv und F.nlfsictl Men Show jrcnt Interest in California. Motion Picture Industry Many Attend Slum. SANTA BARBARA. Cal.. Aug. 25. Fully 50 per cent of those of tho enlisted men of the Pacific fleet who will obtain discharges about October 1 want to be discharged on tin; Pacific coast, instead of being sent to the city In many caseH on i lie eastern seaboard where they enlisted. Tliis estimate was made by Lt. T. P. Riddle, chaplain of the flagship New Mexico, who based his state ment on advice sought from him by men who will be given discharges. "This is unusual," sa'id the chap lain, "and a tine compliment, to the Pacific coast. Ii shows the men like t he west and the treatment they have received here." The one thing In hou t hern Cali fornia that excited the great est 'in terest among the officers and men of the Pacific fleet to judge from views expressed- is the motion plc tu re. Many have visited one or more of the numerous motion picture plants In and around Ixs Angeles. The "movie" people have taken many pictures of the ships and of the offi cers and men for exhibition pur poses, and many stars of the screen, men and women, have exchanged calif with the officers. Mm ion nict tires provide almon' nfghtlv enterta-inment for both men and officers.

SCORE TWO TRIUMPHS 1U V. Paul us Make Wonderful Sale of Loganberries mid Obtains A ' Record Price. Hu Also Sells Hart let t lv!. The Oregon Growers Coopurativo Association is progressing in lino shape, even during the busy mouth of August when farmers are busy with harvesting, spraying etc., and no meetings have beeu held. How ever, during tho first half of tho mouth, they have signed up over 1500 acres, which added to the largo acreuge secured in July, totals over 10,000 acres. Two new tri umphs In marketing were scored last week by Mr. R. C. Paulus, -who next year will be the Sales Man ager of the new. organization. He sold the last car of the Salem Fruit Union dried Loganberry pool, at $43,000 for a single carload, or Tc a pound, which means 12c a pound to the grower for fresh friiit. and Is the biggest price ever obtained by growers In the state for a carload ot fruit. He has also sold the Bart lett pear pool of the same organi zation at $Kf a ton, delivered to a nearby cannery; these prices arc equal to those obtained by the Cali fornia organizations. Early in Mr. Paulus' work, his average ror large tonnage of prunes and cherries was far in excess of anything realized to that time in western Oregon. Dur ing the past two weeks, the Asso ciation has established community packing plants at Sheridan, McMinn ville, Dallas, Corvallis, In addition to which packing will be done al Salem and Eugene, and they nre doing everything possible to aid the apple growers of western Oregon. The association has also establish ed the rowers Service work, and a new movement in this state. And expert in harvesting, grading and packing has been placed in the field, and all over western Oregon, tho packers are to he trained and the grade and pack of apples greatly Im proved. From all over the world are com ing in letters from brokers and buy ers, asking to handle the next years tonnage, ana personal representat ives from some of those concerns are already calling the offices of the Association. People on the outside are becoming interested In our state, through the w-ide publicity being given the association. Every day, numerous visitors, and a heavy mail, are received rnrtn people osk Ing that blanks be sent to them. .10 that they may affiliate them selves with the movement.

"The league of nations as, It now stands will not prevent or even de lay future war, in fact It will hasten it." stated Lieutenant Umur Too.e in addressing his audience at the Antler's theatre last night. The speaker had the opportunity of liv ing In the atmosphere of tho peace conference when he attended ihe University of Sarbonne at Paris for four months before returning to this country. He believes that two of the great mistakes made by the league are in the Shantung question and the defensive alliance with Krance between the United States and Kngland. Lieutenant Tooze was Impressed with the fact that our representa tives looked forward toward the betterment of tho world they for got their country and they were the only ones who were inclined to do this. In fact our delegates were Inclined to "slop over" said Lieute nant Tooze. He emphasized the fact that the interests of the American people should have come first In the minds of the United S(atcn' delega tes In the case. We must go on main taining a large army, navy and ma rine force, he said, and the Monroe doctrine must remain Intact forever, in order that America may protect herself from the more uncivilized foreign nations in the future. "In my opinion the war ended a week too soon." declared Lieute nant Tooze. "hi a week tho entire German army In Helglum would have been captured and fiermans would have really felt defeated.

Kru ger, who resides u mile and a half east of Oakland, Sheriff Qulne. De puty Haffoty and Constable Dlllard. found a dozen bottles of home-made brew, and a gallon jug of alcohol, which were lmmod'iately confis cated. According to Sheriff Qulno, there has been a gang of young men com ing into Oakland and Sutherlln each Saturday night, In an 'Intoxi cated condition, creating consider able disturbance. Although it la not certain that the liquor has keen furnished by Mr. Kruger, the offi cers became suspicious and decided to make an Investigation. Satur day evening they drove to Oakland and approached the house from an unexpected direction finding only the wife of the farmer at home. They began their search, which dis closed a large nuiuHor of empty bottles, the dozen containers ot some sort of home-made mixture and the Jug of alcohol. Before the search was completed Mr. Kruger' returned home and Informed the of ficers that he had made the beer only for his town use and that lt was fully within the law. The al cohol he claimed was obtained about four years ago. Only about a teaspoonful has been used. Whether or not the home-made firewater has sufficient "kick" to put It under the ban of the law is problematical and It will be turned over to the District Attorney In or der that It may be analyzed and its. strength ascertained. Mr. Kruger was not arrested and no charge was brought against him. The ovidence socurod by the officers will be turn ed over to Attorney Neuner, when he returns from his vacation and In the event a violation of the law has been discovered charges will be brought and prosecution will be In stituted. Sheriff Qulne statoB there Is not sufficient evidence against Mr. Kru ger to prove that he has been sel ling liquor to the young men who have been causing the trouble and tho allegation Is vigorously denied by the furmer.
