Review DHKUS APPLES" Splendid Name Suggested For Our County's Product SURVEY OF ELECTRIC ROAD From Roscbnrg to the Coast Is In Pros pect W. H. Richardson Boosts , For Douglas County W. H. Richardson has returned from San Francisco, where be at tended the Trans-Mississippi Com mercial Congress as a representative of the Roseburg Commercial Club. He reports very interesting sessions and which he believes will, result In a ilarge amount of good toward the advancement of the interests of the Pacific coast states. This section of the United States Is attracting more attention thau ever before and In vestors and homeseekers are alike looking in this direction. With the interest there manifested this coun try 1b bound to experience the great est period of advancement in the next few years that has ever occurred in its history. For Kli'clrit- llnilwny. Mr. Richardson was at all times fully alive in looking toward promot ing the interests of this county, lie had a long personal interview with a. competent civil engineer who had a prominent part in the work of build ing the Shore Line of railroad from San Francisco to Santa Cruz. Before departing tliac gentleman promipod Mr. Richinlson that he would cove to Roseourg, perhaps within the iii-xt tw f-fks with a view to going pvrr the n'ound and examining into the feasibility of putting in a line of electric railway from Roseburg down the Umpqua river to tidewater trans portation. Thence he expects to go Good News for the Ladies. Twenty-five Beautiful New Tailored Suits, Direct from New York, Have Just Arrive Today by Express Come Early and Get First Choice.

Having had the practical experience as above mentioned, our people should give this gentleman every reasonable encouragement to ward forwarding of this enterprise, upon his arrival here.. ' Douglm Apples, Among other matters, Mr. Rich ardson found a rapidly growing de mand for Oregon apples. In this line Douglas county Is rapidly coming to the front in the line of turning out the choicest product, and the yields here are simply immense, with proper care and attention. The Wat sonville district, near Santa Cruz, Calif., seems to be an active rival In that regard, but as that section has Douglas county will eventually win out as a heavy yet economical pro ducer. In order to gain a place In the world's markets for Douglas county apples some distinctive name must be adopted by all producers as a general market cognomen. For such a name Mr. Richardson .very ap propriately -suggests "Douglas Ap ples." Such has been done by the Hood River peopib and everyone knows that apples bearing the Hood River brand are a first class product no matter what, the variety may be. Let everyone unite in making "Doug las Apples" known as the beat In the world as well as bringing the largest returns per acre, hs was recently demonstrated here. While iri San Francisco Mr. Rich ardson also hud placed before him an attractive proposition for having Douglas county and especially "Doug las Apples" advertised in the Jan uary number of Sunset Magazine, to occupy tne entire back cover page, printed in four colors, the edition to have a circulation of 125,000 copies. Local fruit men should look into this matter at once as qulok action must be taken to procure It, Placing of exhibits in the new per manent exhibit building at the depot was commenced Friday afternoon. While only a few products had then arrived, passengers from the north bound train flocked into the build ing and wanted to buy some of those fine "Douglas Apples." The whole exhibit will now be put in place just as soon as the exhibit competition among the producers Is decided. Now help Roseburg grow.

Falbe, n Roseburg restaurant keeper, for al leged violntlon of the local option liquor law, was begun this morning In the circuit court before tho above named jurors. Being the first pro secution here under that law since It went into effect on the first of last July the case has occasioned more than ordinary Interest. Of the jury men accepted all are farmers, ex cept Mr. Harding, who Is a merchant at Glendale. Before completing the Jury seven jurors were excused by either the prosecution or the de fense, some of the tnlesmen being questioned at considerable length by the attorneys before being accepted or excused. Excused by the state were C. J. Denning and F. W. 1)11 lard, of Roseburg, and S. S. Morri son, of Peel. Excused by the defense were T. C. Cobb and B. S. Nichols, of Roseburg, and J. H. Redffer, of Myr tle Creek. After a long series of questioning by the defense C. L. Had- loy was challenged for cause, and after further Interrogation by Judge Hamilton was excused by the court. The attorneys for the defense nre A. N. Orcutt and W. W. Cardwell, and for tho state are Dlst. Atty. Gen, M. Brown and Elbert Hermann. Wit nesses were excluded from tho court room during the trial. After brief statements of their res pective sides of the case by Messrs. Brown and Orcutt, the state opened by calling to the witness stnnd Kred DuRobln, who is said to be a detec tive employed by the anti-saloon league of Portland. DuRobln carried with him to the witness box a med ium sized telescope valise from which he took four bottles of what appeared o be whiskey, which he testified he had at various times procured at the restaurant of the defendant, J. Falbe, In Roseburg, during the month of August, 1908. A certified co0y of the county election returns and of the order of tho county court putting Into effect the local option Inw In this county was offered In evidence and admitted by the court, over the objections of the attorneys for the defense. Under the questioning of Dlst. At torney Brown, the witness, Mr. Du Robln, told how lie procured a cer tain bottle of whisky at Fnlbe's restnurant on the evening of August 17, 1008, and as witnesses to the transaction cited the names of Dee Howard and Preston Turnell,' two reputable young men of this city. Under direction or the district at torney the witness opened the bottle and tasted the contents In the pres ence of the Jury, so there would be no question as to the nature of the contents. This bottle had been tabled by the witness with the place and date on which it had been pro cured. The witness testified that he had himself written and pasted on this label as soon as he reached his room after the bottle of liquor had been procured. Also that he had pur posely had his clothing and person searched by Howard and Turnell be fore the three went Into the restaur ant, so that It could be proven that he had no liquor of any kind with him before going In there. He testi fied that he had told Falbe about five o'clock that afternoon that he want ed to get some whisky when he enrne In for supper about six o clock. 1 m on going to supper he took a seat at the lunch counter at a place back near the wash room. A little lat He-online to his testimony, falbe told the witness that he could not supply him with a 25 cent botle, but could let him have a 50-eent bottle, lit replied, "all right." A little later Kalbe rame In and attracted his at tention by a slight touch. ook the bottle out of his pocket and sot It on the floor just Inside the waul room partition, as he had done on pre vious occasions, by another motion directed attention to Its whereabout and passed out. Finishing his meal the witness procured tho bottle of liquor at the place indicated, paid both for it and his meal 10 tho waiter In attendance, went outside and a little later showed the bottle to Howard and Turnell, who while In the restaurant had watched the pro ceedings from different pulnts about the lunch counter. Upon cross-examination by Atty. W. W. Cnrdwell, tho wltnesB. Du Robin, stated that he was employed as a private detective by Kev. J. H. Kuodell, of Portland, on behalf of the ' anti-saloon league of Oregon. That he was paid a Balnry by Rev. Knodell for that work and reported only to him. Testified that In pur suance or his work in obtaining evi dence of violations of the local op tion law he had visited Roseburg, Falls City, Dallas, Independence, Kreb's.hop yards, Ln Grande, Hot Lako, HlllHboro and Kamela. That he worked for a salary and was not paid commissions for Indictments or convictions. When asked why he had gone to Mr. Falbe for liquor up on his arrival In town or soon there after, he said he had beeu told by S. J. Jones, and later by Louis Stein bach, that they thought he could get whisky at Falbe's. Persistent ques tioning railed to bring out any ma terinl variation of the testimony as to how tho liquor was procured. The bottle as labeled was admitted us evidence In the cauo by the court. Statements ronlllct. The statements of Howard and Turnell on the witness stand conflict ed In some respects, but probably not at any greut expense to the prosecu tion. Howard testified that Mr. Fnlbc brought what appeared to be the bottle of whiskey Into the wash room and delivered It to DuHobln. Turnell, 011 the other hand, swore that Kalbo placed tho liquor beside Dultoblu at tho lunch counter. How ard did not remember Just where he and Turnell searched DuRobln upon leaving tho restaurant, but he thought It was somewhere on Cass street. Turnell stated positively that they Beurched Dultoblu on the I nne school grounds, which Is at the north end of Stephens street. Again, Howard testified that DuHobln did not pay Falbe In person for the liquor, but gave the money to a male waiter. The statement of Turnell, In positive tones, was that DuHobln paid Falbe hjmself and that the lat ter also placed the money In the cash register. The discrepancy Is these latter statements was so palpable that District Attorney Brown made an effort to rectify by recalling Turn ell to the witness stand In the after noon. Turnell then stated that he might have been mistaken about the identity of the persoti whom DuHobln paid, explaining that he had never seen Falbe before the evening of the nlleged off en He.

Why Colds are Dangerous. Hocnuso you have contracted or dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows thnt pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin In a com mon cold. Consumption Is not caus ed by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and de velopment ot the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It Is the tame with all Infectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this thnt more real danger lurks ln a cold than ln any other of the common aliments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made It a staple article of trade over a large part of the world.
