Allen representing the Bureau of Animal Husbandry, De- ' partinent of Agriculture, has Just ' finished a tuberculin test of the large dairy herds of Marks Brothers and Jacob Jones and found them absolutely free of tuberculosis. These herds will be tested again " within six months of the time of the present test and again next Au gust, making throe tesis in all and if found in tKo" same condition that they are at present will be given a certificate showing that they are an acredited herd and free from tuberculosis. Dr. Allen stated that he was very much pleased with the two herds of cattle tested, as it rarely happens that where a herd had never been tested and containing ' as many cattle as wero in these two herds that some of the animals did not react the test. The Marks herd consisted of 39 head of Jerseys and the Jones herd of 3 head of Short horns, -r This test was arranged for thru . the County Agent's office; and Mr. Hurd expects to have Dr. Allen back In the near future to finish the testing of the pure bred herds In the county. FAIR IS HELD AT GLIDE N C tninent Marls, one of the most pro agriculturists of the state, came to Roseburg from Salem, to assist the local officials In the com munity fair work. .Mr. Marls was greatly pleased with the community inir nt Glide, where he attended yestordav, and is enthusiastic over the plan. The exhibits yesterday were far above the average, and the attendance was very good despite th facl laiuitjta ex ceedingly busy at this time. "There is nothing like the comunity fairs to bring about the cooperative spirit between the city and rural districts, said Mr. Marl I noticed that many merchants are In attend ance and I believe that to be a fine thinr a too much cannot be doye o m --" 1or. rUtlonablp .between the "- ,r-- , . in. farmers. Another thing that im presses me is the great interest shown by the children. The indus trial club und children's fairs are accomplishing the task of keeping farm. In the past we have told the young boys aud girls on the them to get an education so they woudn't have to work for a living. Now we are telling them to get an education so they can work. We are teaching them the practical and the scientific side of arming und are preventing them from flocking to the cities where so many become mis-ills-round pegs In square holes." Today the community fair was at Camas Valley, where at great deal of interest was displayed. The ex hibits this year are fine consider ing the extended dry spell and those managing the fairs are exception al well pleased. 1LVS THE BOOSTER SPIRIT. ,Buijns, a little town of possibly 500 people In Harney County, Ore gon, was recently incorporated and took in all of the outlying terri tory they possibly could and man aged to quote nearly 1500 people, It Is a country surrounded by sage brush, jack rabbits and Piute Indi ajns, but there aro thousands of heads of cattle and there are two banks ncting as a general clearing house for all cattle business and have been the big figure In build ing up their comunity, that they have organized a Chamber of Com merce with a membership of 150 and have written to George Quayle, Secretary Oregon Stale 'Ghaniber of Commerce to find them a competent man to handle-4heir advertising and offer him $200 per month to start. There is hardly a county in the country that is not wide awake to the opportunities of cooperative ad vertising. Roseburg has to have funds to carry on this advertising proposition and the work that has started and is reaching out should not be curtailed for the lack of funds. OF IS TO LOWER PRICES Tllat tbere is a slump due In the h!do market, which may llnally in fluence the trade in all leather goods, is evident from market re ports from commercial centers 01 the country. The Portland marke is stated to be practically nt a standstill, aud there is nothing to indicate that, the situation will im prove or go higher, but rat he i lower. The Portland market is off on hides anywhere from 15 to 20 cents. Chicago marknts are very unset tled, and lower rates on all grades of hides are believed to be Inevit able. An article in the Chicago Dally 'Hide JJutfetiu states there has been no trading to indicate where prices renlly are, but holders of hides who are desirous of liqui dating their stock, rather than wait ing, have accepted much lower prices in some localities, und the market is broken wido open. Tanners con tinue disinterested and those who buy only want a carload now and then, and prices Bhrink on each pre ceedtng sale. This Is shown by sales of all weights from north western points of single carload lots. These sales indicate the tem per of holders, and this spirit seeme to be extending north, south, east and west. It is generallp conceded that when trading does start up value will he considerably lower than a lew weeks ago. PLA.V EXCLUSION.

Car ter, the lS-year-old prisoner, hem in tho county Jail, who is wanted in California, for grand larceny. Xot ionly did he admit his guilt yesterday but he told the completo story of his crime und furnished the authorities and othors who chanced to be present with some entertain ment that far surpassed anything offered by any cinema corporation. His story may or may not be true. f it is like the greater part of , what he has told it is not true, ! but at least it tils in with the mon ger information furnished the local officers, who know that he has been through some stirring adentures in the past five weks, i He says that he was the member of a gang, of four young men and their lady friends, who lived In Los Angeles. He was driving a Hud- i son Supersix, which he had geared for high speed and which could travel some . While he watted on the outside with tho auto, his three companions burglarized a large siik ; factory and brought out a large number of silk shirts which were i piled Into the rear of the auto. They ! then went back to their rendevaux ; and kept under cover for a short time. Ho advised disposing of tho entire lot to a wholesale house, but I the others were afraid of this meth- 1 od and so begnn peddling them out i few nt a time. Locate! by Officers. '; One day he move up to the house .vith a lurge njunber of shirts iu the ,oar seat und as he was parking tho jar man strolled up and began to luestion him. His pal was on the sidewalk and the two engaged in jouversution with the man who both suspected to bo a "Dick". Three other plainclothed men walked up intl at that Carter slipped the ma jhiue into gear anjd started1 for ward. The three officers and the ither gangster piled Into the seat .ind as they sped out onto - the uoulevard, a free for nil fight In a car speeding at iiu mUus an hour, began. Carter says that It was always ,ils practice to curry his revolver strapped in a holster between his tegs, but that a few momenta be fore he had for some reason placed t in bis coat pocket. As ho fought ihe officers hu endeavored to pull the weapon from his pocket but at jach attempt the detective forced .lis hand down so that he could not get at the gun. All the time he was lighting to retain possession of the tvheel. The officers would gain tho tipper hand for a moment and would switch off the ignition or throw on .he emergency brake, but he man aged to keep the machine goln at a tremendous rate of speed. ' Tiik es J enuei-n-t e Chance. As they n eared a cemetery he de .erminod to make a linal effort to .-scape, In telling his story he said ihat he chose the cemetery . be cause in the event he was killed they V mild n't huve to lake him far to jury hiih. He gradually yielded con trol keeping the car going at a speed jf over 00 mllus an hour and as they reared a clump of bushes he leaped from the machine. An officer shot iitni, the bullft striking the bone in his right leg, flattening out until It resembled a twenty-live cent piece. The officers were not familiar . with the, workings of the car and it was t minute or nxne before they had .t stopped. In the meantime a car came along and Carter told the driver that bandits had " shot htm and thrown him from his auto and begged lo be taken to a hospital, lie was picked up and rushed to Ia Angeles, where he informed his benefactor that he was feetlng better and would take tho car and go home. This he did aud immediate ly stole another auto, filled it with the stolen shirts left In the house nd with one of the girl inniHtes started for a place In the country ho had decided upon for refuge. On the way the girl dressed his Injury and upn their arrival helped him to get the stolen goods out of sight. He then went bark to his home In Los Aneelcs and remained In hid ing for a couple of weeks. 1urinif the time he was "laid tip" with his wound, th officers warohed their bang out" and pltved the other threp members of the gang under arrest. lWided to l-ave Stute.

He also denies Implication in the Medford robbery, but there is suf ficient evidence to warrant a trial on that charge. However he expresses his willingness to go bark to Csli i fornia as he nays he was tinder 12500 bonds In that state on a prev- fous charge, and will forfeit the money If tried here. He will prob- ably be turned ever to the Callfor- nia authorities me appear t nthlm v0y njaiy. in cmer tatlter, and furnished tho officials wirh a great deal of amusomeut dur ing his confession. Trip Hero Fast. From tho looks of the Cadillac car iu which 'Carted made the trip to Roseburg, It is apparent that he mado good time, und he claims to have broken severul speed records. in the "machine wore found several new silk shirts, a small surgical outfit, a quantity of cotton and I bandages, me uuuec anu numerous other articles, which prove that the trip was made in the Sedan. Tho (other occupant, IS. T. Butt. her, is j now wanted as lie is believed to have ! been implicated In the Medford rob ! bery nt least If not In other crimes. His discription, taken from his army discharge, has been wired in all di rections and it Is thought that he will he caught before long. Medford Ofltcw Arrives. G. O. Timothy, chief of police of Medford, arrived here last night and took the prisoner in charge this morning. Carter was placed on tho morning train, along with the tires, oil, etc., he had stolen from tho Medford service station and taken to that city where ho will be tried. Ho was the center of interest this morning nml as the officers with him progressed along the main i streets, they were followed by a j throng of curious spectators and ) "news hungry" reporlers. Carter jwas hand-cuffed and wore a content j eel look on his face, smiling often Ins some accusing question would be thrown at him. lie was taken to a local restaurant aud given break- iiisi. ill tun vi'i allium wiiii u. reporter he rehoarsed his entire story, varying mme in the details and putting in a few more thrillers to make it interesting. It is the opinion of those closely connected with the case that he Is "an over grown yap of a kid", anxious for publicity and sporting a would-be hero disposition. Wanted in California, Chief of police Shambrook this morning received a telegram from George K. Home, Chief of Los An geles police, asking that Carter be held here without fail as they were getting extradition papers for him at once. It is very probable that after he Is tried in Medford he will be taken to California to face the numerous charges against htm there. (Continued on page four.) I etc from i'ortlanti.

TO pj nrcrnNTiMiirn September Brst marks the pas sing of the Treasury Department's War Savings Stamp organization In Oregon. The government has with drawn Its promotion ot the sale these ' nany stamps as a reaera; function, and stato headquarter, maintained for nearly two years in Portlaud, has been closed. County organizations throughout the state have also been notified that tlioro will be no further need of their effort, Inasmuch us the buying of stamps is to be left In future to personal initiative and volunteer effort. Hubert K.
