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,-

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

the regimental trophy with a total of

have a fine chance to win the regi

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

have not yet been selected. The
Roseburg squad will shoot next Tues

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." ItHSOHT KOlt MAGNATHS.

grand Jury, after adjourning pro

and act on all matters that may de
velop in the meantime, such as the
district attorney heretofore examined
Into personally. The Jury will draw

Thos. Jefferson Arrested.
This afternoon is became known
who was wnnted under the sealed In
dictment Issued by the grand Jury a

by tho arrest of Thos. Jefferson, n

"boot-legging." At the time the In
dictment was .issued Jefferson was
missing, lie waa heard of at Myrtle
Point not long ago and later in Lane

Ashland Record: T. J. Kenney,
the hardware mccchnnt and all round
business niiin of Jacksonville, and
George Neuber, for ninny years a sa

niadu assignments for the benefit of
their creditors.
Two weeks ago Nouber made an
assignment with Kenney as assignee
and a few days ago Kenney made ah
assignment, naming Wm. Ulrlcll as
assignee.
Mr. Kenney's liabilities are about
$18,000, of which amount Antone
Rose holds a note of $0000, and one
attorney has claims amounting to
$7,000.
Tho Immediate cnuse of Kenney's
failure was the Inability of Neuber
to pay Kenney nbout $2500 and Neu
ber was compelled to assign.
Nouber's liabilities aggregate $14,
