Every visitor to Roseburg nowo days Is highly Impressed with the splendid apples grown here. And It's no wonder, for they are tho finest on earth. Good roads and good streets are a prime necessity for this cKy and county. We must build a big lot of both during the coining year. And there Is every assurance that this wlU be done. Everybody la uniting in a general movement ror that pur pose. Don't overlook the fact thai the very best time to lay streot-car tracks in Roseburg Is when the paving being done next spring. It can all be done at once and save tenrlng.up the streets twice for the two. We must soon have both these Improve ments. A special commission to Investigate the conditions of country life, sent out from Washington, D. C, have been pursuing tbelr work (?) In such backwoods districts aa the cities of Los Angeles, Ban PranclHco, Port land and Seattle. When they find how people exist In such out-of-the-way places they will probably turn itheir attention to the more remote districts, such as Denver, Chicago. ' St. Louis and Cincinnati. Judging from their Junket on this const the knowledgo they will gain of the real conditions of country llfu cannot he short of astounding we don't think. l'ltKHIDKNTH MESHAtiK. Last One Will Deal Willi Problems of Vast liiiHrtuncu. WASHINGTON, Doc. 3. Presi dent Roosovelt's last annual message to Congress is now known to be prac tically finished, and those who have had opportunity to glance at Its con ten La declare that it Is a veritable classic and will take rank as one ol the most lniKrtant stato papers ever written by a president of the United Btatna. It has been the prosident'B ambition to make this message a summary and a faithful register or his administration, and ho has spent many months striving to accomplish this effect. Much attention will be paid In the massage to questions of economic re form In which labor Is deeply In terested. One of the most Btriking f mlu res will be the recommendation of an amendment to the Shorman anti-trust law exempting labor organ isations from Its provisions, and the passnge of an antl-lnjuitrtlon law along tho lines proposed loot year. Under a recent Supreme court deci sion In the Danbury hatters' case, labor unions conducting a boycott come within the cimsplraey clause. Whether tho president will push hia fight for a larger navy by rec ommending the annual construction of four monster battleships has not been decided. Ho will at any rate ask for two. Additional fortifications for Hie PhlllpidiMW and for seacoast defeusiw In this country will bo strongly urg ed, and It may be that the president will decide to auk for a reorganiza tion of the navy bureaus. Congress will be requested to broaden the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commiiwlon In the super vision of rales before they become ef fective. The dimeiiltlos encountered In the adjustment of the Internum rates by Stales having railroad coin muwlona have raised a demand fur additional Federal Iciglalatlon thnl tho president believes will meet with hearty support by the majority part in Congress. The postal savings bank project nl the postmaster-general will receive harty Indorsement and an earnest recommendation that it bo speedily ona' ted Into law. The great growth of prohibition sentiment nnd tho demand of th states that tho federal government me. tho "original package" decision of tho Supreme Court will bo touched upon. The president will also recommend legislation requiring publicity of cam paign expenses. lie has not yet Indicated whether hs will reat his previous recom tnondstlon for the enactment of an Inheritance and Income tax but he will prwa for a federal Incorporation lice nee and for tho etiartnicnt of new employers' liability lw. The president will take advantage of certain criticisms In the last con gress as to the advisability of send ing the Atlantic fleet Into Asiatic wa ters by pointing out the felling of In ternational amity that followed Its triumphal progress, and the great advantages, commercially and other wise, which he believes will arirue In Japan, China and other point In the Orient. Statehood for New Mexico and Arlr ona will not be neglected, nor will the demand for the creation of an Appalachian Forest Reserve. Also hi advocacy of the adopton of u policy looking to the purchase uf at least one legation site a yeur will be renewed. The placing of dates upon the la bels of packing house products and tho payment or the cost of inspec tion by the packers Is another mat ter to which be will call attention. The demand for uniformity In divorce laws will be reiterated, as well an na tional child labor legislation. Although It Is generally under stood that the president will leave to his successor the treatment of tariff revision, the desirability of placing wood pulp on the free list will again be pointed out. LKAVENUOOD FILES KILL. ftOOO Clients Intervene in O. & C. R. It. Land Grant Suit. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 2. A very lengthy bill of Intervention, con raining about 0000 names, was filed this morning in the United States court In the case of the Oregon and California Railroad land grant, con slating of over 2,000,000 acres, which the government is endeavoring to annul. Tho bill or Intervention was filed by C. I. Leavengood Koeeburg atlorney, through a firm of Seattle lawyers and contains about 6000 names of applicants for tho purchase of the land, which under the grant was to be sold at nut over 12. GO an acre. The grant given to the railroad In 1869 specifically states, however, that tho land must be sold only to actua soUders and It Is not believed that tho applicants, whose names were filed this morning, as well as about 600 filed some time ago, will have a better chance of securing the land, In case the government wins lta suit, than any other applicant who may file on the land In due form. It Is (the purpose of the bill of Intervention to show that the ai- pllnants, whose names appear, should have a prior right to the land If the railroad loses the suit and the gov ernment recovers the land. The government is altltempting to annul the grant on the ground that tho railroad company violated the law, which states that the land must be Bold only to actual sottllers. In areas not larger than 160 acres to each one, and that the price should not be over $2.50. The government la trying to establish the fact that (he railroad company violated each one of the above requirements. There are at present about 100 actual settl ers on the land who are made defend ants In the government ense jointly with the railroad company. A KIHIN'J SCIENTIST. To the Editor: It has been Bald that "ho who makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before Is a benefactor of mankind. The man who devotes his life to scientific re search with singlonees of purpose, for thu benefit of mankind and with no hope of reward, except the better ment of society, is such a benefactor. Have we such a benefactor In our mlilBt?. Jamea D. Ford, of Riddle, who has been for nearly twenty yenrs paid oxMrlmentlng with the ores of South ern Oregon, for the puriioso of find ing a process of extracting and utiliz ing their values, Is such a bene factor.

He Is now nhout to reap a deserved reward and to take his placo among the fivunost mining engineers of our country. It Is hard work ror a discoverer in srlwnco to get himself taken ser iously by hie friends nud neighbors, and it has been so in our friend's case.

Hitch, the slayer of Ralph B. Fisher, hope to save him from the gallows. A statement to this effect was made itiifs morning by Attorney Charles Lord, counsel for Fitch: "The killing of Mr. Fisher," said Attorney Lord, this morning, "was suerlnduced by Mr. Fitch's persecu tion as a member of the Oregon Bar Association, and by various state ments made to and of him concern ing his relations with his clients. I understand that during the last two weeks prior to the unfortunate oc currence he had Indulged in the ex cessive use of intoxicating liquors. In addition to that he was married about two weeks before the unfor tunate Incident, and the persecution that appeared to follow him worked so much upon his nerves that he re turned to the excessive use of intoxi cants, and became frenzied by rea son of the charges made against him.

The ' General Demand of the Well-informed of the World hat always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to bs wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relic f on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
