SEEKS EXACT FIGURES
ON ANNUAL PRODUCfSOF
DOUGLAS COUNTY IANDS !
Believing that the resourcefulness
of Douglas County is more convinc
ing when expluined in black nnd
white, and that the figures it would
be possible to obtain would not prove
discreditable to the known condition
of the country, Secretary Josephs.ou,
of the Commercial Club, is about to
start a scheme of probing the busi
ness affairs of the farmers, with a
view of gathering some reliable data
concerning the crops, annual yields
and making some comparisons. The
need for some statistics and informa
tion of this kind has been felt ful
some time. The concrete values In
yearly returns, from the land indus
tries throughout the county, have
never been fully known, and every
prospective settler wishes to know
these exact facts as his means of
judging the worth of the country.
Mr. Josephson has just secured
several hundred ot blanks, which
when filled out will give definite in
formation on every large crop that is
produced. Returns for several pre
ceding years will also be asked. In
this way, it will be possible to de
duce averages, which aro in them-,
selves the best arguments in Inducing
the home seeker to remain. With
the compilation of this datn, Mr.
Josephson hopes to form a neat
booklet which when sent to other
states will speak for Itself. The
only information in this line now at
hand at the Commercial Club Is some
years old, and ceases to he of much
value, as all crops havo greatly in
creased since. I
Thirty-five loiters n day on tho
average are now being sent out from
the secretary's office, in addition to
those in answer to specific requests
for certain Information. This seems
to indicate that Roseburg will receive
its share of the influx of Immigrants
coming this year from the East. Sev
eral inquiries are also being received
from local districts, nianyrecently in
regard to the sweet clover bulletins
received from Washington.
That the Douglas County prune,
has attained u position of importance
in the commercial world, was further
shown on the receipt of a letter yes
terday, asking If there is some con
cern here engaged in packing prunes
which had not yet a foreign repre
sentative. The writer is a new firm
in Portland, the U. S. Commerce Co.,
and are anxious to tuarket the Doug
las County prune. The local packers
are entertaining hopeful prospects
for this season, and the crop in ad
dition to being large is now bringing
six rents a pound, which Is consid
ered good.
official telegrams were received here
at the State Department tonight from
Consul lianim, tho American diplo
matic representative at Durango,
Mexico, concerning the reported cap
ture of Torreon by (ieneral Villa's
forces.
The first two messages were dated
yesterday and reported that the fed
erals were then evacuating Torreon.
j The third telegram, however, was
I dated today and explained that the
previous messages were "premature
and unreliable." It adds that large
federal reinforcements were arriving
nt Torreon "from the oast." It was
explained that strong federal rein
forcements for Torreon left Saltillo
Saturday morning and were sched
uled to arrive at Torreon tonight.

HAS PROVEN AN ABLE JURIST
Believes That Court Should be a live, Modern

Charles I,. .McNary, now a member
of the Supreme Court of the state of
Oregon, has announced his candidacy
on the ltcpiibllcau ticket for one of
the positions on that tribunal, there!
being four Justices to be nominated !
by the people iu the May primaries. 1
Justice McNary is a resident ot
Salem, having been born of pioneer
parents rorty years ago on a farm
near that city. I
After acquiring his early education!
in the Salem public schools, and his
collegiate and legal education by
supporting himself, he entered upon
his profession in Salem, more than
1 ft years ago. For several years he
served as Assistant District Attorney
for the Third Judicial District, and
won tho reputation of being a fear-'

to deny no student an education be
cause of lack of money, and dozens
of graduates of this college are to
day indebted to Justice McNary's
financial gonerosity for their legal
education.
I Reared with the common class, he
early learned to know the wants,

was Justice McNary who wrote the

"Tho value of luw Is its proximity
to reason. Its certainty and univer

to a rule that savors of inequity
simply because it Is a judicial deci

decide, tho law correctly so Tar as it
lies within the human mind. The
next duty is to smite that rule of
human action which is found to bo
unjust, however well It may be but
