Review Council to Consider Bids To night For Construction Representatives of Warren Construe lion Co. Are In Roseburg to l'lace Bids fur Biiuliinic . At the regular meeting tonight tbe Roseburg city council will open and consider bids for the 18 blocks of hard surface street paving, as heretofore advertised for. in all probability a contract will be let for the same and the active construction work beguu in a very short time. Koseburg people are anxious to have this paving work started Just as soon us possible. The bond Issue carried with 88 pur cent of the votes In Us favor and not a single protest was filed by any property owner on the entire 18 blocks, showing a won derful unanimity of sentiment in fa vor of the paving. How Paving Helps. When (he street paving agitation In Eugene was begun about three years ago, that city's population was but very little. If any, more than lloseburg's is now. At the present time Kugene'a population is fully twice that of Koseburg and that town is growing faster than ever. Koseburg has been making a splen did growth, the postolliee. receipts for the year ending June 30. 1908, be ing 27 per cent greater than for the year ending June 30, lHOti. For the three months ending June 30, 1!)iiS. our postotlh-e receipts show an in crease of nearly lti per cent ovei the corresponding quarter of l!Mi7. In Kugene the postotlice receipts for the last quarter show the remaikabU advance of 38 per cent over the saint' quarter for 1907. Here is striking evidence of how a street paving re gime boosts a town and puts it well on the way to become a thriving modern city. In five' yours, Boise. Idaho, has grown from a town of 8000 to a city of 25,000; Kugene ha? doubted In population and bushiest in three years and Pendleton. Walla Walla and other places are making a similar growth since they began pav ing. Roseburg expects to get Into the same class right away. Paving lttiildt-rci Here. W. L. Archambeau and A. M. Shan non, of Portland, representing the Warren Construction Co., builders ol bitulithic pavement, are in Koseburg today and will submit a bid for the construction of the 18 blocks of pav ing here. Their company have had a paving plant at work fn Kugene for the past year and tney also nave plants at work in Salem. Portland and Vancouver. Wash. Their Salem plant will finish work there and move to Med ford in about two weeks where a paving contract has already been signed up. The Warren Con struction Co. is operating In ISO cities of the United States and ha? 1,200,000 square yards of paving now contracted. Mr. Archambeau stated to a Review representative to day that he had been endeavoring to get two more bitulithic plants for work on this coast, but so far has ... Smoke ... Model American The Best "Bit" Cigar on the Pa cific Coast Made in Roseburg by L. KABAT Sold by all Dealers been unable to do so. When asked regarding the time of commencement of work here in case they secure the contract, Mr. Ar chambeau said that the preliminary work would perhaps begin before the end of the present mouth. This preliminary work will consist of plac ing the new cement curblngs, man holes, drainage pipes, etc., besides getting the rock crusher to work. preparing the paving material. About 90 per cent of the entire pav ing material Is crushed rock and he and Mr. Shannon were Investigating local conditions today for purpose of getting the right kind as near at band as possible. Doubtless the rock in Mt. Nebo. at the west end of the bridge across the South Vmpqua riv er will be found to fulfill all the re quired conditions, and it is only a very short haul from there to the streets to be paved. For placing the bitulithic on the streets It is probable that Eugene's plant will be brought here, if these people are awarded the contract. About ten days more will complete their present contracts there. About ten blocks more of paving was order ed by the Kugene city council at its last meeting and if this company nl- so do that work it will take about three weeks longer, as they have ev erything n good workng order there. Even In that case the plant could be brought here nnd put In place by Oc tober 1st, and that Is about as soon as the preliminary curbing, etc.. can be put In place nnd a good supply of rushed rock gotten ready for use. With everything in good working urtler they can lay about 1000 square rnrds of paving per day, and as the 1 8. blocks to be covered here com- urise only about 22. nun square yards, the actual work of laying it can be done In about three weeks, after the grading, curbing, etc., are completed Thus, if no unforseen delays are en countered. Roseburg should havt nearly a mile of modern, hard sur face paving completed within the next 90 days. It is generally conceded that if we an get this much paving done thu reason a still larger amount will fol low next year. Kugene got only even or eight blocks the first year lint whei this season's run Is com pleted thev will have fir. blocks of naved street, showing how well thev are pleased with the movenienl there. Salem got only three block last year, but is getting over a milt more tills year. C. K.

LOOKING VOll A .KOlXI KWKMj WatltTson Thinks History of Will Ht Hut4Ml This Year. New York World. "I am looking for the same ground swell this year for Bryan and Kern (hat we had In 1892 for Cleveland and Stevenson. Those tilings go in seasons, and (he republican party is due for a beating. It certainly de serves to be beaten; and I believe It will be." This Is the confident forecast of Col. Henry Watterson, the famous Louisville editor, who, from oppos ing Bryan in 1S9U, giving him luke warm support in 1900, has come in 1908 to be his most enthusiastic sup porter and champion. Seated before his work table in his room at the Manhattan Club, where he is busy forming the advisory press committee, which is to be one of thq most Important adjuncts of the dem ocr.Vic national campaign. Editor Watterson yesterday gave to the World his views on the campaign to date: "I believe that Bryan and Kern are going to be elected.'! he said. "The republicans are facing two ways and they will fnll between twe stools. Anyway. I think it is theh turn to be beaten. I think the peo ple want a change, just for the sake of a change. "Democrats who, for the last sev eral elections have not been voting with their party will this year vote 'or Bryan. The democratic party, af 'er being in power for nearly ftO vears, made their exit from power the signal of a great war. Now the republicans have been in power for .learly f0 years, uud it Is time for them to go." "Do you believe the conservative eastern democrats will support Mr. Bryan?" was asked. "I have talked with a great many conservative democrats here who have not voted for Mr. Bryan before They do not like Mr. Bryan, but they say so frankly, yet they tell me now 'Axey are going to vote for him. They ire private gentlemen who do not t?lve their views to the newspapers, but what they say represents tin tendency of a very Important element it voters. ' "What Is there to prevent these men, or any democrat, who knows why he Is n democrat, from votlnp r'or Bryan tills year? The same old issues which divided the parties in 'lie days of Tllden nnd Cleveland are 'he issues of today. The republican uarty stands for all it stood for fn the days of Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur. "Democrats who know why they ire democrats know there should b( io halting . on these plain proposi tus arrest of the breakneck speed toward centralization of power: some eal ( not spurious) purpose toward tariff reform ; some sure separation of the politics of the country from Its- partnership with high financiers; some breaking of groups and rings of wheels Inside of wheels, always involved by a change of parties 'ven when made only for the sake of hange."

Thirty nine young graduates of nine Am erican forest schools have lately re ceived appointments as forest as sistants in the forest service and have been assigned to positions for the present field season. The new appointees are drawn from the var ious forest schools as follows: Ynlo, 18; Blltmore, 5; linlverslty . of Min nesota, 4; University of Michigan, 4; Michigan Agricultural College, 3; Harvard, 2; Cornell, 1; University of Iowa, 1, and University of Ne braska. 1. They have Been red their appointments as a result of passing the regular civil service examination, which Is the only avenue of employ ment as a forester under the gov ernment. In nddltlon to these graduates of forest schools, fifteen other candidates passed the examina tion. Twenty-two of the new appointee are .already at work on various na tional forests, taking part In then administration, and seven teen hnvi been assigned to different project! onnected with the technical study ol silviculture. Forest assistants art men who have completed their pre llminary training for the professloi of forestry, nB the graduates of a law or medical school have complet ?d theirs, and are ready to enter on practical work. Until they havt gained experience lu their work, however, their positions are nee arlly subordinate. They are at llu foot of the ladder, and must prove :helr fltnesB In order to mount high er. The government pays them $1, 000 a year at the start. On the national forests the forest assistant often acts as adviser to th supervisors In charge, who nre west ern men experienced In alt practical matters, but usually without school training In the science of forestry Or they may be assigned to the study of some particular problem whirl needs to be investigated lu the In torest of good forest management As forestry means knowing how to get the most out of any given piece of forest land, H calls for studies and experiments, both scientific and prac tlcal, much like those which have ti ne made In the interest of good farm management, and the forest assistant Is prepared to do valuable work along this line. There Is a growing Interest lu the profession of forestry now, and many young men are asking how tt get Into It nnd what it promises Clifford Plnchot, the government for ester, has lately written on this sub lect : "To be a good forester a man should combine something of Die naturalist wllh a good deal of the business man. To know how to use the forest he must be able to study It. He must have, therefore, the power uf observation, a fondness for nature, and the ability to penetrate her secrets. But If he is to succeed he must also have good practlca iudgment and the ability to meet and handle men. He must be resource fill, able to stand by himself, willing to undergo the prlvallon of rough life, and capable of commanding the respect of rough men, who quickly recognize virility and genuineness of character, but will not tolerate pi tense or the assumption of superior Ity. A forester needs a vigorous mind In a vigorous body. He must be of the kind that llkeH to get things done, and does not give up when things are not going his way. He will have to face difficulties and work MAKES LASTING CURE out problems far from outside .help, relying solely upon himself. 1U ought to be hard to whip. "The professional forester cannot hope for big lees and certain pleas ant surroundings of life which crown distinguished success lu some other professions. The first prises which are bestowed upon the great lawyer, thu eminent pliysiciau, are not yet open to him. Ho must be content without much luxury; he will have to spend a good deal ol time out of reach of the ordinary comforts. He must be able and wil ling to rough it without complaint to sleep on hard beds, eat homely fare, endure prolonged exertion and get along with plain people. On tilt 1 other hand, If he Is at all fitted for tils profession nnd a few weeks of actual forest work or good summer- school will tell him whether ho is or not there Is open to him a very rich eward life iu the open, In the midst of the beautiful, healthful and ougenlnl surroundings, creative work of unmatched usefulness In any material field, a place of large espousibllity and dignity, and with It all a fair living. If the forester's temperament It scientific he will have the joy of the llscoverer and organizer of know ledge in n rich and almost virgin field, while If it lie practical he will have the chance of sharing in a na tional work of prime importance to our people both now and hereafter " Another flood Man (Jotio Wrong He neglected to take Foley's Kid ney Cure at the first signs of kid ney trouble, hoping It would went iway, and he was soon a victim ol llright's disease.
