HOME I'ltO.M ('AMI I'.RRY. Ol-egou Rille Team Advanced Eolll' PIiicch Ovr liiist Year. Capt. Geo. E. Houck and Major F. B. Hamlin reached home this morn ing from the annua shoot of the National Guardsmen, IT. S. Army and Navy tennis at Camp Perry, Ohio. They report a tine trip and that the Oregon team made an excellent showing. This team, one-half of which were made up of members of Co. D.. O. N. G., of Roseburg, made a score in the team shoots givine them 13th place among all the 50 teams contesting, and sixth among all the national guardsmen's teams, the first seven places being won by the I'. S. rugular and marines. In last year's shoot the Oregon learn stood 17th, and the year prior to tiiat they were -21st. The Oregon men have now gained the reputation of being one of the strong rifle teams of the nation and gained more at tention this year than ever before. They were hi competition with the best riflemen of the I'nited States which means the best In the world. This should Induce Oregon people to ?ive better encouragement than ever to our state's rifle team. Dr. Ilouck tells us there are a great many people traveling on the trains nt this time and that nearly evpry town of consequence on this coast is circulating literature In the east. He found Medford and Albany booklets In the buffet ears, but saw none from Roseburg. Los Angeles and southern California were well represented with att motive litera ture. Muslness conditions enst are still (itlet. not yet having recovered from 'he panic of last fall. The depres sion there was far greater than It was in Oregon and the resumption of utrmal conditions is much slower. Messrs.

Parry, ex-president of the Nat'nn al Association of Manufacturers and a prominent republican, an expres slon of opinion hostile to the postinp of "prosperity" placards in factories to the effect thnt "on the day altar the election cf Taft and Sherman thli mill will stmt up full force." Kern asked Parry: "In the Ugh of the fact that the present high tar Iff has not maintained prosperity. would like to ask whether the post lug of these plncnrds does not savor of trying to obtain money under false pretenses? Parry replied that ho was not In sympathy with such abuse ot the power of the employer; that It poor huslnes policy to promise to run a factory on full time In the event of any. election; that the business re- alclon was quite beyond the pixcc of political parties to control; 'hat he could not bring himself to posl such placards despite republicanism and declares: "I am no more in sympathy with the statement that Bryan Is th enemy of industry that I do th stntement that Taft Is the creator. of the trusts," and Bald the recen poll of the manufacturers' assocfa Hons of the country had shown majority of the members In favor of a revision of the tarift. WILL SPEAK IN OREGON. Portland Journal: Theodore Hell, of California, chairman of th national democratic convention at Denver, and one of the biggest demo crats in the west, will deliver thre addresses In Oregon on Septembe 21. 22 and 23. Word to that effect has been sent to Alex Sweek, chal man of the democratic state central committee. Owing to the fact that It has not yet been determined whether M liell will reach Oregon from th north or the south it is not ponslhli at this time to fix the places for th different meetings. It has been d rided, however, that one of the ad dresses witl be made In eastern Ore gon. As soon n it can be found whether Mr. Hell will come to Oregon direct from California or will rear the stnte from the north, definite an nouncement will be made as to th places for the different meetings.

At a meeting of the ladles' Mental Culture Club Tuesday afternoon the' matter of a location for the new drinking fountain recently purchas ed was again tuken up. After dis cussion the consensus of opinion fa vored the placing of the fountain at the center of the square at the junc tion of Jackson and Cass streets. In order to do this it would be necessary to amend the city charter, for as the law now stands .the city council is forbidden to place any permanent ob struction in any street. As the city churter can only be chnnged by a vote of the people it is nut probable that It will be done In thlB Instance. The Club, realizing this, suggest as a Becond choice the location of the fountain nt the 'curbing of the street ut the corner of Jacksou nnd Cass streets, next to corner occupied by C. B. Cannon's real estate olllce op posite the I. O. O. F. temple. That would be a good location, but a pro position to place the fountain in the center of any street would doubtless be strenuously opposed. In relation to beautifying the S. P. depot grounds, permission has been granted the ladles club to plant flowers nnd Bhrubbery in all that part of the grounds from the new exhibit building south to Lane street and between the main track and Sher idan street, leaving a broad passage way on the south side of the ex hibit building, which structure now Hearing completion. The matter of removing the granite now occupy lug that part of the depot platform has been taken up with the railroad company nnd just as soon us that Is decided the ladies will begin planting the flowers, etc. This work of the ladles In ndvanc Ing these movements for the hcautl- llcatlon of our city Is highly com mendable, nnd coming as It does In conjunction with the street paving work which Is to begin In u few days. shows that the active spirit of ad vancement Is thoroughly permeating all elements of our population. With such unanimity of action Hoseburg Is bound to soon become a much larger nnd more beautiful city. UK Kit SHIPMENT 1U LING. Authorittt'H of 'l)ryM State Cannot Slop Delivery Ut Consignee.
