Annual Electlua
On Tuesday evening was held the
annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Douglas County Building &
Loan Association. Annual reports of
the officers show the affairs of the
Association to be in an excellent con
dition. The election of a- board of
trustees showed that 367 shares of
stock were represented at the meet
ing. The ballot resulted in the unani
mous choice of W. H. Fisher, A.
Salzman, L. Wlmberly, Frank G.
Micelll, E. V. Hoover, Sam Joseph
son and I. Abraham. The two last
named were chosen to succeed Mrs.
M. Josephson and Mrs. H. T. McClal
len, both of whom are absent In
California and therefore unable to
immediately qualify, as required by
law. The other officers were re
elected. As auditors, Jos. Micelll,
James Millikin and John Preschern
were unanimously chosen. The new
board of trustees organized by elect
ing W. 11. Fisher, president; L. Wlm
berly, vice president; Frank G. Mi
celll, secretary and attorney; Sam
Josephson, treasurer. A. Salzman,
L. Wlmberly and Sam Josephson
were appointed as finance committee.
The secretary was instructed to col
lect gome outstanding dues and inter
est, and also to "force" loans pro
vided voluntary applications do not
appear rapidly enough to keep the
funds of the Association in use as
fast as they accumulate.
The success of this Association has
becomo so generally known that the
! nfltter of organizing another one In
. this city is already being discusse
That such an Association, properly
managed, will prove a paying invest
ment for Its stockholders can be por
trayed in no better manner than by
an examination of the work of 'this
Association for the past year, which
Is fully set forth In the annual re
port of the secretary, a complete
copy of which is as follows:

Conclusion.
This concludes my eighth annual
report. Ae it will be noticed by the
report, this Association has redeem-
ed 85 hi shares since Its organization
leaving 414 hi shares on the roll.
Loans have been made on 143

have to answer almost dally the ques
tion, "When will the stock mature?
will state that I computed the best
could and think that It will take all
of 26 monthB yet before the stock
matures," that is, a few months over
two years.
I again desire to thank all the
stockholders and directors for the
courteous treatment received at their
bands.
All of which Is respectfully sub

NEW TARIFF BILL
believed to have $50,000 In his, pos
sess ion.
When Theodore Probst, a half
starved tramp, purposely broke two
windows of a store In Drain two
weeks ago in order that he might be
locked up and given something to
eat, he probably did not figure on a
diet of bread and water. But this is
all that he is going to get to sustain
life during tbe remainder of his 60-
day sentence In the county Jail In
Roseburg unless he does some ninn-
al labor with a pick and shovel for
Douglas county.
A trench Is being dug along a row
of poplar trees In the court yard to
remove roots that are threatening to
undermine the cement Bldewalk.
Judge Wonacott conceived' the Idea
of saving the expense of an extra
man for this Job by putting Probst
to work, thus giving the county some
recompense for his board. When the
subject of manual labor was put be
fore Probst, however, he exhibited a
pair of soft, white hands, declaring
that he was unfitted for the job and
that he would not do the work de
manded of him.
'You can choose between working
and living on a diet of broad and
water," Bald Judge Wonacott.
I'll live on bread and water."
promptly replied Probst. Ho was led
back to jail, and this morning was
tiered me restricted menu for the
first time.
"I'm not a bit hungry." said Probst
to Sheriff Fenton, as he declined the
bread and water.
All right," said the sheriff, "when
you get nungry Just let me know."
Up till an early hour this after
noon, Probst hadn't said a word.
Has Row With Join's.
Probst has filthy habits, and this
got him into trouble with Charles
Jones, the Drain "bootlegger," who
s aiso serving a Jail sentence. Jones
reiuuuHiraiuu wnn rroost ffor an un
clean act, and the latter threw
small wooden box at Jones, who re
taliated by knocking hlin down with
a blow over the eye.
bherlrf Fenton has received a letter
from Probsts mother, who lives in
New York City. She Is a German
lady, mother of a large family and
apparently has little or no knowledge
oi legal punishments in 1Mb country.

PLANNING FOR A GREAT
AGGREGATION OF FLOATS.
The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposl
tion and the Oregon State Commis
slon are making a strenuous effort to
secure for Portland Day at the Se
attle Fair all the floats that will be
shown In the "Spirit of the Golden
West" parade at the Rose Festival of
June ninth. This pageant will ba
one of the most beautiful features of
the Carnival, and will serve splendid
ly to exploit the wonderful resources
of the Oregon country, -as each float
car or chariot will renresent the
matchless fruit and other products
Indigenous to the many Important
localities of 'the great Northwest
country. It Is proposed to mnke the
parade In Seattle an exact replica of
this particular parade as seen in
Portland.
me floats are to bo one' of the
chief attractions of the celebration
which will be held In Seattle
"Oregon Day," July 17, and through
an agreement between the exposition
officials and the Oregon Stnto Com
mission for the Seattle Fair, these 20
floats representative of the Industries
ana resources or tho various com
munities of the state will 'form the
nucleus of the principal street dem
onstration which will take place on
that occasion.
The Northern Pacific Railway in
response to a request from the A-Y-P
officials has agreed to haul these
floats to Seattle and back again, ab
solutely free of charge, having been
Informed that the Interstate Com
merce Commission will interpose no
objection to such a plan, because the
floats are to be sent to Seattle for
exhibition purposes only.
In addition to the plan to have
these magnificent set pieces appear
In the "Oregon Day" parade, an ar
rangement has been made by the
Rose Carnival with the Oregon State
Commission whereby they will be
photographed and reproduced on lan
tern slides and shown In the auditor
ium of the Oregon Building together
with a lecture on the resources of
the communities represented. These
lantern slides and lectures will after
wards be sent to (he East and
plotted throughout tbe East and

tho ton of the building the word
Roseburg is to shine forth In electric
lights, and the Interior of the build

suggested plnnB for Illuminating the
principal streets trom the Roseburg
Hotel, at the depot, to the Hotel Mc-
Clnllen, at the corner of Jackson and
Douglas streets. This matter will be
considered at a meeting of the Com
inerclal Club trustees tonight. Of

Colt sayB, you cannot enthuse people
