The comedy, "A Grass Widow," succeeded in causing merriment and .streams of laughter, and those who .(are known as chronic grouches even - h:td to admit it the most comical of comedies. The character of Kittle, as played by Miss Roberts. Is a most :Sj-Ustlc piece of comedy, and many commented upon Hie natural laugh and cry of this exceedingly talented actress.

A vote on a resolution declaring the seat of Senator Lorlmer vacant Is assured In the Senate, according to today's Indications. If Senators Beverldge and Ernzler submit a minority report on the Lorlmer Investigation the resolution will probably accompany It. If none other Introduces a reso lution, Borah of Idaho will.

Blair, of Adams county, Ohio, Into the wholesale cor ruption of the ballot box there, has revealed a condition without parallel In the United States. The situation is so unique thnt the United Press has secured from Judge Blair the following specially written statement on conditions In AdaniB county: Judge lllnlr's Htntement. "It has been stated that I have had personal knowledge for -many years of the traffic in votes that has prevailed In Adams and other coun ties In my judicial district, and this Is quite true. I have had both -thd personal knowledge and the positive proof of this practice in my district for a long time. "In the fall of 1906 I registered a vow that I would put a stop to vote buying In Adams county the very first opportunity, and this Is the first opportunity I have had to carry out my resolve. "The barter In votes has, I be lieve, prevailed to a considerable ex tent in about eight other Southern Ohio counties for the past 30 years. Two years sgo, during the local op tion campaign, I learned of money belng used In Scioto county by the wets and 1 promptly called a special grand Jury and had Indictments re turned that stopped the vote buying In that campaign and I believe pre vented the use of money to any great extent In elections following In that county." Mis. Bradford and Miss Bide, teachers In the Roseburg high school, are home from a holiday visit in Portland. The public and high schools re-opened today after the holiday vacation.

During the month of December. 1910, the publicity department of the Roseburg Commercial Club sent , out 352u piece.- of mull. Letters of fjf Inquiry were received from 40 dif ferent states, which Is the highest i number ot stutes from which In quiries have been received In any one month. The states sending In the greatest number of Inquiries were Washington, Oregon, California. Il linois, lows. Idaho, Pennsylvania. Texus, Ohio and Minnesota, in the order named. About one-third of the letters received contained general In quiries; about one-tlfth Indicated that the writers were Interested In general farming. The Inquiries for fruit lauds and homestead Innda were about equal. The same num ber of Inquires were irfcelved In re gard to poultry raising, hog raising and timber lands. The other In quiries dealt largely with dairying. .7. a number "! " "",.7" ' ." " " a " a . m.V i, to railroad lands, and three different P?rsn Umnted that tfc ,ry had P,i .r chesd some Oregon-California Rail road land at 4U0 per quarter sec tion, making payments dowu from 7i to $125, the balance to-be pu:j when the deeds were ready for de livery. A considerable percent of the Inquiries came from furmurs, most of them men who have some capltul and who can establish themselves readily on Umpqua Valley ranches. During tlie month's correspondence there were only two who asked for definite positions, and four of the corres pondents stated they were willing to do any kind of work that was honor able. Inquiry wus made ns to the opportunities for opening an exclu sive tea and coffee store, a news paper, banks, real estate offices, brick yards, hotels, telephone exchange, factories, electric light plnnt, five and ten cent store, barber shop, plumbing shop, abBtract office, undertaking es etbllshment, fence factory, cunning factory,-and rooming Iioubo. Several lawyers Inquired as to the opening here In their line, three blacksmiths, one baud director, two architects, a number of carnenters. and a florist. Two different men In Illinois are iti- eBtlgntlng the available wood in the vlclnitv of UoBeburg with the Inten tion of going into the furniture man ufacturing business if the prospects Justify them In doing bo. Two stnte that they nnve money io invem m mij good location, and two others ask In regard to the opportunity for a busi ness opening of any kind. A friend In the advertising business offers to mnke a moving picture Bhowlng Roseburg and Boino of the prlnclpul features of the Umpqua Valley, al. a reasonable price, the film to coat $0000, and to be exhibited one year. r,.r thn sum of $1300 additional. Several have mentioned the fact that i.hr hv heen attracted to Hoaeuiiig because Billy Sunday bought a farm noar here. One man gives ins -Hro. a "County Poor farm." In a certain sounty In Texas, and another man In Okluhoma gives tnree niu.-i-ent addresses In one letter.

Practically all the 'western railroads are making preparations fur an unusually heavy passenger traffic the coming year. Most of the communities In Idaho, Washington, and Oregon are preparing to make an extra effort this coming year in the way ot advertising aud publicity work, In order that they may obtaiu a fair share of these new citizens. On the first day of July the pub licity department had an Indebted ness of nearly $800. If the subscrip tions to the fund are paid in full January first, this IndebteduesB will have entirely disappeared nnd leave a Burplus ot about $.10.. The pub licity work has ueeu carried on the last six months under a decided handicap ou account of this Indebt edness, but us this has been fairly well removed, it Is hoped that a lib eral subscription liBt will be forth coming for the ensuing year, as with out question Roseburg will have the best opportunity to add materially to the valley's population than haB yet been offered. The policy of the publicity depart ment the last six months hns been to encourage general farmers, fruit growers, poultry men, stock men, dairy men, aud other agriculturists to locate In the vicinity of Roseburg, and not to any extent whatever en courage professional and business men to come here to enter Into com petition with the established pro fessions and biiBlneBses of the city. It is being generally recognized that the growth of a city is automatic, depending materially, If not alto gether, upon the development of the surrounding country. The Oregon Development League will make a special effort this year to Interest people 111 coming to Oregon wno win go out on the land and develop the same, or- who have capltul for the stabllBhnient of factories. The es tablished business mau and profes sional man will not be encouraged to come to Oregon far the purpose of locating In cities and towns already well represented In their lines. Par ticular attention will be given to the neods of each community, and through the Industrial development of the Oregon Development League a record will ho kept or me neeos oi the various communities ot the Btnte. This will result In locating promptly the professional or business man, or man with a trade, where he Is needed, and where there is work for him to do, thus doing away with any proba bility of his going to Borne point whore competition Is already keen, and he will not only be disappointed himself, but Interfere Bomewhat with the success of those already in the field. Two different Oregon communities have mentioned in the past mouth that the Roseburg Commercial Club is one worthy of emulation, and there is no doubt that with Its nat ural advantages, resources, and at tractions, the Umpqua Valley will re ceive Its fair share of the new coming population If the publicity work la properly supported.
