Review VREGON IRRIGATION PLANS Covering Most of tbe South Umpqua Valley TWO COMPANIES IN FIELD One Backed by Chicago Capitalists, Willi Ma C. While Manager Surveys Made Irrigation of 20,000 acres of land In the upper South Umpiua and Cow Creek Valleys In Douglas County Is the project undertaken hy a compuny of Chicago men, represented hy John C. White, of Pittshurg, who has made Roseburg his headquarters for the past year. After several months of preparation, Mr. White has a sur veying party at work, locating the route of the main Irrigation ditch, which will be 42 miles In length. The company does not Inlend to liny any land or rights of way for the enterprise. They plan to build and maintain the Irrigation system under the municipal district law, which gives land owners along the route of a proposed ditch the right to vote bonds for installation of such a sys tem and collect toll for the ukr of the water. As soon as the mrn of the proposed district is approved hy the state engineer, the land owners oan hold an election among them selves on the question of issuing bonds. In this instance, Mr. White thinks that the election will he held early next spring. Mr. White estimates that the sys tem will cost at least $S0O.00O. prob ably a great deal more. It will start at the South Umpqua River, about one-fourth of a mile below the post omce nt Perdue. At this point of the Intake it Is planned to build for wnter storing purposes a huge dam. 00 feet high. The ditch, starting there, will extend to Days Creek,. Can yonvllle, Riddle, and thence along Cow Creek. At some point between Canyonville and Riddle not yet de cided on, the ditch will fork to Myr tle Creek, terminating at the rail road track near there. Such an Irrigation system would tap some of the richest farming and fruit growing land In the county and also open the way for development of a large acreage which has long been unproductive. Besides supply ing water for irrigation purposes, the main ditch, having a 30-foot head of water with the flow of the stream, will be ample for electric or traction power, though the company has no Immediate plans along this line. The plan to place this rich region under water is not with Mr. White's company alone. They have compe tition from a development company of Grand Junction, Colorado, headed hy Anthony Fidel, who has been very active about Riddle and the sur rounding country for several months past. Each company proposes .dif ferent methods of construction and maintenance, and the land owners of the region Involved are said to be divided In opinion as to which are the better. o B. A.

JiMihM You cannot get a good weather and waterproof roof for your . .) building from a poor roofing. ., ' The roof of your building is the most important part of it ' and unless your roofing is right, there will be no peace of. mind for those who live under it. A roof that leaks causes no end of trouble, beside a lot of damage. The best way to protect yourself from these unnecessary troubles, is to use Malthoid Roofing. The makers of Malthoid Roofing guarantee it to be a perfect roofing to give satisfaction and to last as long as the building it covers, provided it is properly laid and ordinary care is taken of it. Twenty-six years of experience enables The Paraffine Paint Co., of San Francisco and Chicago Heights to guarantee Malthoid Roofing under these conditions.

The Selndang Is a very rare ani mal, or rather a very rare variety of the buffalo family, and Is a cousin to the mbogo or African buffalo, the Cape buffalo, the buffalo of the In dian Jungle, and the carabao ot the Philippines. He has two marks of wide distinction. The Orst la his size, which is enormous. One speci men I secured measured six feet seven Inches to his shoulder top. t ne second point Ib the amusing shape of his legs. Probably as a protection against Insects, leeches, reptiles or cutting edges of grass blades or thorn points, there are heavy rolls of flesh which run from shoulder to hip down to the hoof, giving him the appearance of one of Hogarth'B caricatures of fat men. That hunting selndang is a dan gerous pastime Is shown by the fol lowing extract from Ralph D. Iah nm'B article in the December Ad venture: "The next Instant the seladang came crashing out of the Jungle Just behind him. Captain Sayre turned and fired, but the henvy .600 ball struck In the base of the massive horns and never even caused the big brute to hesitate In his furious charge. "In the fraction of a second he wns on the unfortunate man and drove the long sharp boms Into his body time and again. At last, when he had almost torn the man apart and nearly stumped blm into the ground with his hoofs and his knees, he desisted and made oft. The na tives then ventured down and. brought the mangled remains Inta camp." RUGS RUGS RUGS. Room size nnd small ones; a grander showing waB never seen In Roseburg. Prices' nre low, 35c to $50.00.
