CHOICE ORCHARD LAND CAN STIL h KEEP WELL POSTED On the current events o( the world 'a pragma by reading the Daily Rivikw. Delivered by carrier, 50 eut montli. VOL. XL PRUNE CROP, $360 Another High Mark Added to Douglas Coun- ty's Splendid Fruitgrowing Record by G. W. Gage, of Dillard Another record for prune growing has been established in Douglas county. This time it is Mr. G. W. Gage, of Dillard, who establishes a new high mark in this line of in dustry. Mr. Gage's orchard Is locat ed on the South Umpqua river about 10 miles south of Roseburg. This morning R. L. Gile, manager of the Umpqua Valley Prune Associa tion, Issued, to Mr. Gage a check for -bis crop, the' sum paid aggregating $1796.67. This crop was grown on five acres of land and establishes a new record on heavy yields In that kind of fruit. A number of prune orchards in this county last year yielded crops which sold for (200 per acre and upward, and one orchard re ported a crop which sold for $340 per acre. Mr. Gage now exceeds 'that splendid figure by the comfortable margin of $20 per acre. From thir Bame orchard last year Mr. Gage har vested a crop which sold for over $200 per acre. This year he got $!160 per acre. .... While it Is yet too early to secure . any general consensus of the coun ty's prune crop for (his season, Mr. Gilo says the crop this year will ap proximate about 75 per cent of a nor mal crop. This Is much better than was reported eaily in 'the season. Mr. Geo. Weber, who lives beyond Eden bower, was in town this after- . ,nopn. .. He reports that from an or chard of 700 prune trees, about 8 acres, he has just sold about $1950 worth of fruit, or an average of $230 per acre. He added that a part of his trees bore a lighter crop than us ual" this year. His brother, Morris Weber, from 19 acres harvested 02,- It's Ready For You That New H.S.&M.Suit f 1 WfVE BEEN TREATING PEOPLg SQUARE rfHE FOREMOST DRY.GODDS ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN OREGON .jfl 000 pounds of prunes, which he es mates to be about two-thirds of an average crop, and sayB that his or chard can easily yield twice the amount turned out this year. His fruit was of fine quality this season, averaging from 39 to 42 to the pound. He realized considerably ov er $100 per acre for this short crop. Clay Smith reports a return of about $100 per acre for the crop grown on the Cyrus Smith farm, near Greens, which was purchased several months ago by C. H. Cannon, of this city. ' These crops are but a few, taken at random, from among those grow ers who could be Buen in a few min utes' time on the streets today. These, however, fully demonstrate what a profitable business prune growing is In this county, as well as other lines in the fruit growing In dustry. TURKU TIOA.MS HAVK SHOT. Albany Fein's Only Itosrhurg In ReU inciitnl Tournament. Albany Herald: Company G's rifle team, consisting of Lloyd Mar quani, It. J. Karstens, O. C. Karstens and A. Abraham, made the hlgheBt score of any of the companies In the regiment who have yet shot for the regimental trophy with a total of 601 points on the four ranges. The rifle team shot on the 200 yard? range at rapid and slow fire, and on the 500 and 600 yard ranges Blow flre. Private Marquam was high man on the team with a total of 162 points. Unless Uosehurg riflemen OSEBURG PER AGRE.CAND1DATES BUSY surpass the Albany team the locals have a fine chance to win the regi mental trophy. The Roseburg team is said to be the only team that Ib apt to win over Albany. Tho Mc Miunville team made 582 and Dallas 563. (If either of the two Eugene teams, the Cottage Grove team or the Ashland team do not go higher than Albany's score, Roseburg will in all probability win the trophy, and the individual medal, too. At practice yesterday, the Roeeburg team, con sisting of Lieut. P. G. Stewart, Corp. Alex Ferguson and Privates 11. F. Shields and Chester FUher, made a score of 675, or 74 points more than Albany's official score. In individual work. Shields made a score of 176, against 162 made by Albany's high est marksman. However, Albany's team total will likely be beaten by the Cottage Grove team, at lenBt, which won the trophy last year. In addition to the four members of the team, six other Roseburg militiamen will try for the Individual medal. Four of these are Sgts. A. Q. Johnson and Gus Pankey and Privates John Marks and Nelson. The other two have not yet been selected. The Roseburg squad will shoot next Tues day.) THE .MIGHTY HEN.

AN INVESTMENT NOW WILL QUADRUPLE IN Review BIG DEVELOPMENT Opened in Roseburg Today With Several Splendid Addresses Electric Road to Coos Banquet Tonight With good roads, a railroad from Roseburg to Cooa Hay, aud the ad vancement of southern Oregon in dustrially and educationally aa its objects, the Oregon and Idaho De velopment Congress opened 111 Klks1 Hnll in this city this morning for a two dayB' session. President Dexter Ulce, of the Roseburg Commercial Club, undor the direction of which organization the meeting Is being held, delivered an address of wel come to tho visitors and to the large assemblage of spectators, Rcsponso was made by Col. 13. Hofer, of Sa lem, who then assumed the perman ent chairmanship of the congress and outlined Its objectB. Mr. Hofer first Introduced Mr. Francis H. Clark, representing tho Mnrshlleld Chamber of Commerce Mr. Clark's address occupied the. re mainder of the morning and about one-third of this afternoon's session, which closed nbout 4 o'clock. Mr. Clark was followed by Dr. Androw C. Smith, of Portland, whoso subject was good roads. In response to In vitations from tho chair, Judgo J. W. Hamilton and Hon. Dinger Her mann made Impromptu speeches. Mr. Hofer then announced that President Campbell, of the , state university, would deliver an address at this ev ening's session, after which tho meet ing adjourned. President Camp bell's Bubjoct will be: "Illghoi Standards in the Public Schools." At both morning and nfternoon sessions the grentest of enthusiasm waa mani fested, and It's a safe assertion that this meeting will be productive of more good than nny of. a similar character ever heretofore held In Roseburg. This evening's program will Includo vocal and Instrumental music, and aftor adjournment a ban quet, will be Bervod In Mnsonic Hall by the Ladles of tho Commercial Club, to the visitors nnd Club mem bers. Hal I road to Coos. Mr. Clark'B remarks dwelt chiefly with the great need or a railroad from Roseburg to Coos Bay, and In emphasizing this fact he stilled thnt he had to travel about 500 miles from Mnrsh fluid in order to reach Roseburg, 40 miles distant, In a comfortable nnd snfe manner. From one or his BtntementB It was evident that Coos liny people assuming thai he spoko In reflection or I heir senti ment hnd abandoned all hopo or getting the long promised railroad from Drain. "Mr. llarrlmnn." said Mr. Clark, " abandoned the Drain project when lie discovered thnt his comiietltor. the Western Pacific rail road, which was heading for Coob Bay, had been disarmed. Coos liny can live without a railroad; It has the broad Pnciflc Ocean as an outlet, md It has enough nnlurnl resources to make It feel independent. But lis people are not hermits; they want railroad communication with (lie out side world, they wnnt to do business with and through Roseburg, nnd for that reason they wnnt a railroad to your city (applause). "If one or tho grant railway sys tems In the west will not build the rnnd. then It's up to Coos liny and Roseburg to build It ourselves. (Ap plause.!. This part of the slate will never enjoy the full measure of pros perity to which II Is entitled until the Importance of a railroad to Coos Hay Is fully realized. It will give Roseburg a gateway to the Pacific ocean and the accompanying advan tage of Aluskan and Australian mar kets, such ns Coos Bay now enjoys, without the heavy 'railroad freight tolls to San Francisco and Portland. Such a railroad would alHo advance the Interests of Coos Hay Immeas urably. Above all other things It would boom tho coal mining indus try. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, has a population of 35,000, and lis sole support Is Its coal mines. If Marshtlold had a railroad to aid Its coal Industry It would Boon get to be as largo a town as Victoria. Its lumber shipments are a large factor, too, and when the Panama canal Is opened, facilitating shipping, this In dustry will also Increase." Highway, Then Itiillroiul. Dr. Smith advised Roseburg to Join with Coos Hay and build a rail road at once. "If you cannot build a steam railroad, build an electric road, and If you cannot do that (hen build a flrst-claBs wagon road and the rail road will follow in due time. Study the history of New F.ngland and -you will discover that good roads have been the forerunner of railroads. "This is more than a local mntter. however," stated the speaker. "The great necessity of the present time Is a good highway trorn Portland to Ashland or some nearby isilnt. Then this should be rollowed by a road east and west through the stale. Hy tudylng the may you will see that Roseburg would be the logical Inter section for the two rosds. Such highways would stimulate road bulld- lug all over the stale nm! In a W1 years Oregon would become as noted for Ha good roads as it Is now for its poor ones. The plan 'proposed to? financing a through-state highway is to have the state, the counties und the nbuttlng property each flay oner third of tho cost. There should be urged upon tho legislature a bill pro viding for an annual appropriation of $500,000 for the next few years toward defraying the expense of such ronds nnd once such a bill is passed the project will be practically as sured."
