Hundreds of peoeple are already
remarking that those two blocks of
newly paved streets In How-burg
"looks good" to them. Just as The
Review predicted once the paving
working Is welt started, II will be
kept going. Well. It's started, and
we'll get still more next year.
More agricultural and other pro
ducts arc needed In this counly. The
demand Is good and the prices are
high. Jt'tt a strange condition when
farmers are buying soup henna, nni
some don't even grow enough pota

have land practically Idle thnt would
product hundreds of bushels per acre

It up Is likely to Htny in the "also

be a knocker and say It costs too
much." Roseburg is now spending
about $100,000 on building modern
streets and sidewalks. When t h If
season's work Is completed a few
weeks henco property values will
have Increased here at least half n
million dollars on nccount of these
Improvements. A return of five for

right at home. Can anyone ask.

Appropriated Through Dummy
Kntryiucii (unit?.
DKNVKIt, Aug. 13. Within a
month, a hearing will begin In Heat-
tie that, government nfllclnls claim,
will disclose proof of gigantic frauds
n connection with coal lands In Alas-
k. The Investigation will be fol-
owed by similar hearings to be held
n a score of cities.
KactB pertaining to alleged fraudF
ire known to Secretary of the Inter-
or Halllnger and Fred Dennett, com
missioner of the general land ofllce,
uid they have Instructed their sub
mlLnntcs to proceed against the per-
ons responsible for the alleged
rauds.
That more than 200,000 aeri s of
Ich coal lands in Alaska, some of
hem having veins feet In thick-
less, have been filed upon by dummy
lit ry men, procured through agents
if large corporations, was made pub
ic tonight. Powerful Interests, it is
aid, have sought to force the do-
inrtment of (he interior, through
tunuelal, political and even social
ressure, to patent these lands, a
;reat deal of which was filed upon
wo years ago. This pressure was
eslstod, however, and when congress
massed the taw of May, 1 DOS, provld
ng for associations of Tour or more
Individuals to take up Alaska lauds
o extent of 2fi60 acres for each com
bination, the Interests buck of these
lummy entrymen tried to get these
'and through to pntent under this
law.
The government' Interest lies in
the wish to have the great Alaska
Toal fields opened to supply coal for
naval vessels. It Is said that the
opening of tho Alaskan deposits will
give the United States control of the
commerce of the Pacific by reason of
tho ability to obtain fuel In almost
inexhaustible quantities.
Tho so-called dummy entrymen
were recruited principally from the
docks of Seattle, the mines of Hutte
and the laboring classes of Chicago,
'n many eases, according to evidence
in the hands of the government,
these men never saw nor heard of
each other, although they were de
scribed In filing papers as members
of a corporation organized to develop
motions of the Alaskan fields.
Kvidence also Indicates that In
many cases the name of the person
ostensibly filing on land was ficti
tious and that the signers to papers
w ere pa Id small su ms t h e ref o r a nd
never knew the Import of the docu
ment they signed. It Is hinted thnt

A DKIDK WHO KllltA.NK IN VAI.l'K j
I was a minister of a small church
in a farming district when this inci
dent occurred. One morning In the
autumn I was In my study, engaged
on my Thanksgiving sermon, when
a tall, awkward young man in gruy
homespun with the unusual embel
lishment of a paper collar was usher
ed in by my wife.
"Parson, I want to get married,"
was his salutation.
"All right," 1 answered; "I wlil
be happy to help you." Then fol
lowed the usuail questions, in which
it developed that his name was Jim
Oreno and the name of the bride-to-be
was "Sal" Vlrden, and that they
lived in a small place three or four
miles in the woods.
"When do you wish to be mar
ried?" I asked.
"Now. Right here," he answered.
"All right," I said, "where is the
lady?"
"Out in the wagon at the gate."
"Well, bring her in."
. Jim disappeared, and soon came
back with a buxom girl, clad In gar
ments of many colors. The man and
the girl proceeded to pull on a pair
of lisle-thread gloves, and then at my
request stood up together before me
and I performed tho ceremony,
which went off without any untoward
incident. After my wife and I ex
tended our congratulations and good
wishes, the bride-groom beckoned to
me to come outside. When we stood
outside the door he said:
"I ain't got no money, parson, but
I'll give you a pair of geese fur mar
ryln of me. Two geese. Day after
tomorrow is Thanksgivin' and this
here goose If fur your Thanksgivin'
dinner." From under the seat of his
wagon he pulled a fat goose, which
he handed to me with the words:
"Now. the other goose I'M bring fur
your Christmas dinner."
. I thanked him and they drove
away. Christmas came and went but
no goose. New Year's. January and
February, likewise passed, and still
no goose. Finally one morning early
In March, as I was returning from
making ft pastoral call on the edge
of the town, a wagon drove up and
in It I saw my friend. Jim Oreno.
"Hello, there!" I shouted.
Jim never saw me and touched
the horse gently with his whip.
"Hollo, there!" I yelled again.
"Jim! Jim Oreno!"
He stopped and looked at me in
great surprise.
"Calling me. sir?" he asked as If
he had never seen me before.
"Yes." I answered. "Iiok here:
where Is that other goose?"
. A look of deep sorrow settled over
his face.
"Parain." he said. "I tuk her
home: but before Christmas 1 dls
klvered that she wa'n't wuth two
geese Olt ap."
He drove off down the little street,
nnd to this day 1 have not. seen him
again, nor her nor the goose. Ex.
