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 ...

cific Coast

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.

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."

Advantages of Forestry
Quitlitlciitloiis.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16. 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

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

matters, but usually without school
training In the science of forestry
Or they may be assigned to the study
of some particular problem whirl

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

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 "
