ROSEBURG Review CITIES' v Engineer Talks on Obligatioa of Property Owners SEATTLE OFFERS EXAMPLE Valuable Suggestions In Laying Out a lily Have Kigtu tliuu ui Laws First PORTLAND, Or., June 12.- liiuu Is not a goou citizen if he trie a tu get out of paying for a public im provement, uy wliiL-u his property is benefitted. "Persons receiving a special or a particular benefit from a public im provement should be caused to pay costs of such improvement in propor tion to the extent which his prop erty Is benefitted. "No district or street receives the entire benefit of u public Improve ment, but benefits are distributed ov er a large urea or over an entire ' city. I "You should lay out your entire I city, having in viewMhe harmoniz ing of all lis improvements, instead, of Improving one street or pari of ' street, as a dismembered part. You will make a botch of your city if you make a smal .improvement here and there. "If you make an error in con demning property," making improve ments and assessing the . damages and benefits, you should admit it and charge it, but if a protestant comes to you with a lie in his mouth, tell him he lies. That's what made Teddy so popular. "PavementB to a street are whut carpets are to the floors of your home, and they should be selected with, the same degree of care, ink ing Into consideration the use to which they are to be put, the loca tion and size of the surroundings." These are some of the terse say ings of City Engineer U. H. Thom son, of Seattle, in an address deliver ed last night at the Empire Theater on "Good Streets and How to Make Thera." f "Property owners," he said, "may try to get out of paying their share of the cost of improvements and prevent you from taking their prop erty.' . Contractors may try to cheat you by giving you poor work, but the property owner who tries to get put of paying for his improve ments and the contractor who cheats are not desirable citizens. God help the man who is so little that he tries to get out of paying for the benefits his property receives from an improvements. The courts should uphold you in your efforts to get Im provements, and If they do not, yoi should lose no tinfe in changing your lawR, "In our city the council may or der an Improvement equal In cost to 25 per cent of the value of the property affected. If the council it unanimous it may make an improve ment equal to 50 per cent of the value of the property. If 75 per cent of the people sign a petition for an improvement, the cost of the im provement may equal 100 per cent of the value of the pro pert ., and the improvement will go through." Mr. Thomson then explained In de tall the Seattle method of assessing the ccsts, the power of remonstrance, and the manner of bonding. In re gard to the latter, he said that If property owners did not pay their share of the costs of the improve ment within 30 days after the con tract had been awarded, the proper ty would be bonded by the city, and the bonds given the contractors for their services. These bonds, he wild were worth par. If payments on the bonds were not made for consecutive years, the contractors or1 person holding them had the right to foreclose and secure a lien on the property bonded. i He told ol the opening and laying Improvements on new tracts of Se attle ground, and within three years' time the value of the property had increased marvelously, and had be come covered wHh handsome resi dences and business houses. j "There was one man." he said, "who owned a large tract of land In the woods and he desired us to put water mains through it. We spent thousands of dollars in mak ing this Improvement. We dug up trenches for the pipes, and to do so had to uproot Immense trees and iinake the pipes up hill through these Frenches. The land was In the su- burban district and people Raid he was crazy. That was five years ago. and todav that 160 arrfs is covered and it is estimated that there are 50,000 inhabitants in that tract.

DELEGATES II EG IX TO ARRIVE. Politics Absorb Chiciigo Guild in Lieu of Hammond. CHICAGO, June 13. With the New York delegation leading ijhe van, and other delegates and politi cians pouring in from all over the country, Chicago has already com menced to assume the appearnnce of a national convention city. Lobbies of all the leading hotels are' swarm ing with excited, gesticulating ex ponents of the great American game of politics and the nnmes of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates are on every tongue. The big New York delegation Is not highly enthusiastic in Its advocacy of Hughes and has scarcely made an impression in the solid phalanx of Taft boomers. Adherents of a sec ond elective term for Roosevelt are also here In force and are making-a great deal of noise. Ray State for Guild. BOSTON, June 13 Massachusetts delegates to the Republican national convention, as well as parties of dele gates from the other New England states, left today for Chicago, confid ent of securing for the Hay State the second place on the national ticket. "We are all for Guild for vice-president," declared one of the delegates who Is in a position to know the sentiment of his fellows, and it is likely that a hot fight will be made for the Massachusetts chief execut ive The report that John Hays Ham mond would be the choice of the Massachusetts delegation for the vf"e-;ro?idential nomination Is auth oritatively denied. It is alleged that whn Mr. Hammond made his an nouncement, hehad been misinform ed as to the state of Governor Guild's health, and was under the erroneous Impression tliar the gov ernor had not sufTiffently recovered from his recent serious illness to make the race. Mr. Hammond and Governor Guild are personal friends, and since the latter is to be a can didate, Hammond is not likely to permit the use of his name. ter there will be houses. Without water there will be no improve ments." The floor at the Armory has been put in the best possible shape for the dance tonight. Horace T.

N- Y., June 16. Jubilant to the point of wild enthusiasm at recent prohibi tion successes and confident of soon making this a "dry" world, the hosts of temperance are gathering in Sara toga today to celebrate during the next tun days the centennial of the first temperance society. One hun dred years ago the first total nbslln ance society in the world was found ed at Moreau, in this county, by Dr. "Hilly" J. Clark. Preparations to commemorate this event have been going forward for a year with the result that the World's Temperance Centennial Congress to be opened here tomorrow will likely go down in h Istory as the greatest demon stration of Its kind In the world's history. Every train into Saratoga today brings its quota of temperance leaders men and women, and it is likely that the hotel facilities of the Spa wiii be taxed to the utmost to care for the mammoth assemblage of prohibitionists. Prayers for thanksgiving for vic tories already won in the battle with the rum demon and petitions for di vine guidance In the warfare yet to come, songs of praise and sermons by divines of international reputa tion will mark tomorrow's opening exercises. The formal address of welcome will be delivered by Governor Hughes at the afternoon session of the congress in Convention hall on Monduy. Oliver W Stewart, of Il linois, and Seaborn Wright, of Geor gia, will respond. Practically all the temperance societies throughout the world and churches of all de nominations will be represented, In cluding Protestants, Catholics and Jews. The governora of 25 states have sent ofllcial representatives, and dele gations are present from England, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, Hun gary, Helgium. France and Ireland. A special feature will be made of a service to be held at Glen's Falls, on Tuesday afternoon, at the grave of Dr. "Hilly" J. Clnrk, and the erec tion of a tablet at Clark's Corners on Friday afternoon, near the spot where the first temperance society was- organized. The first society Is still maintained and will attend the unveiling In a body. The gavel to be used at the congress hat been made especially for the purKse from timber in the oid home of "Hilly" Clark. In connection with the congress there will be a department of ex hibits. Including literature, histor ical data, scientific advertising, pub lic utterances, extracts and non alcoholic drinks. SCHILLER-GOETHE MONUMENT. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 13. A great popular celebration, which Is att racting Germans from all over the country, will mark the dedica tion tomorrow or the Schiller- Goeih", monument, erected here by popular subscription of the German citizens of Milwaukee. The dedica tory exercises will be held in the open air at Washington Park. Prom lnent men will pay tribute to the memory of the two great German poets.

PORTLAND, Or., June 12. Fail ure of the Armory bill to receive popular indorsement at the polls on, une 1 has not discouraged the Ore gon National Guard In its campaign for armories In the military stations outside Portland. Tho view is taken! by guardsmen that the measure was1 efeated because of a lack of un derstanding of the needs and utilities f armories. The favorable vote was ery large, especially in the cities. the cutting being done in rural dis tricts. The National Guard Association is! already planning a new bill which will be presented be'ore the next eglslature. This bill will a?k for 100,000 in annual Installments of 25,000 each, or possibly an even larger sum will be asked for. Tne biii will be differently drafted, hew- eer, and defects which caused It to bf. held up being carefully omitted. The principal argument agansc the A'inory bill by the State Grange, Inch had the measure referred to iho people was that no specific num ber of armories was mention id: nor ere there any details as to the cost location. It was argue.1 that $100,000 would be Insufficient to inMnll armories in the 12 company ta ions of Oregon, and ch;it further- nore it would be establish!. - a bad er-edent to leave the expand re f a) large a sum to the Stare Ml'l uy. Hoard without restrictions. It was learned yesterday that the Na- i.in. Guard Association will secure data r.s to tho coBt on each Armory nd rresent the mentuirR before the lenislafire in a most b'itliio?A-!tle manner. TAFT ON FIRST HALLOT.

At that time there will come up for formal con sideration reviiiud plans and esti mates of Roseburg's proposed street paving, ns prepared and submitted by Engineer Frank C. Kelsay. As revised, the plans for the pac ing, which originally embraced 21 blocks, at an estlmnted cost In round numbers of $75,200, now In volve only IS blocks, ut an approxim ate cost of $01,654. Although these plans do not include the proposed concrete bridge over Deer Creek, such item will be acted on In due time. The coat of the bridge Is placed at a maximum of $6000. which sum ndded to the cost of pav ing will keep the grand total within the limit of expenditure fixed by the bond election $70, 000 allowing for engineering expenses also. Fol lowing In itemized form is the re vised estimate of the paving cost, as submitted by Mr. Kelsay: Grading, 4 800 cu. yds at 00 cents $.2,880.00 Curblng( 10.070 lineal ft.. at 4 5 cents 4.531.50 Paving. 22.450 sq. yds., at $X.30 51.035.00 Cut oh basins and drains.. 1,150.00 Street monuments, 15 at $6.50 97.50 Incidentals 750.00 Engineer's com minion ... 610.44 Total $61. 654. 44 The three blocks eliminated from the original area mapped out are the last two on upper Cass street, and one on Jackson street, from the Elks' Temple to Mrs. M. Josephson's resi dence. This leaves tho route of the proposed paving like this: Com mencing at W. L. Dyslnger's mill on Sheridan street, thence down Sherl dan street to the Southern Pacific passenger depot; thence up ('ass streTH to Jackson and north down Jackson to the Hotel McClallcn and from there up Douglas street to flu east boundary of the Court House square. From the intersection of Cass and Jackson streets, the pro ied paving also extends one block further uu Cass street to Main street and then down Main street as far as Doug! a:;, jo':;!r,g the pavement ex tending past the Hotel McClnllen. If these plans are approved by City Engineer RoberiH and then accepted by the council next Monday night the next thing in order will be for the coil ne II to pass a resolution de claring its Intention of making the projected Improvement. Such a reso lutlon takes the form of an ordln ance. If no remount ranee follows within 20 days after its reading, the ordinance may then be plaeed on its second and third readings and pas sed.
