the French trenches at one point
north of the Somme. A Bcreen of
fire checked repeated counter at
tacks from Clery to the river. The
Germans reached the allies' advanced
posts at isolated spots on the south
ern end of the lane, but they were
later repulsed.
The Serbians captured a well for
tified hill east of Berna, the highest
peak of the Kamakehalan range, af
ter the most violent hand to hand
fighting. The Bulgarians resisted
until they were practically annihil
ated, only iiO surrendering. The

LOWER EREIGHT RATE
BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC
As the result of a conference held
here at the time of the recent visit
of the San Francisco business men,
R. S. Josenhhon. secretary of the
Roseburg Commercial Club, today
received a letter from the officials
of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, at San Francisco, to the
effect that a minimum freight rate
f 91 cents had been established on
all parcels routed from San Francisco
lo Roseburg. 1
I'nder the old rate It was $1.23,
regardless of the weight of the par
cel in the event it did not exceed 100
pounds. The new rate also applies
to parcels under the 100 pound limit.
As a result of securing a minimum
rate between San Francisco and
Roseburg. it is probable that the
merchants of this city will purchase
considerable goods at the California
ity in the future.

MENTAL CULTURE CLUB
ELECTED DELEGATES TO
ATTEND STATE MEETING
A well attended and very interest
ing meeting of the Mental Culture
t'iub was held at the parlors of the
Roseburg Commercial Club Tuesday
afternoon.
Probably the most Important busi
ness of the afternoon was that of
electing delegates to attend the an
nual meeting of the State Federation
of Women's Clubs, which will be
held at Seaside on October U to 16.
Those elected were Mrs. J. W. Oliver,
Mrs. wtllinm Hell and Mrs. Delia
Woodruff. The alternates are Mrs.
3. I). Evans, Mrs. O. H. Porter and
Mrs. Florence Iiodle.
Following the election of the dele
gates those present at the meeting
listened to the biennial report of the
Cleneral Federation of Women's
Clubs, held in New York City early
in May. This report was presented
by Mrs. A. C. Marsters, who was in
attendance at the National meeting.
The report was very interesting and
embraced many matters of import
ance to the ladies interested in club
work.
Yesterday's meeting of the Mental
Culture Club was one of the most in
teresting hold by that organization
for a long time, and considerable en
thusiasm was manifested in the work
autllned for the coming winter.
LOCAL BOY WILL TRY
EOR FAME AS CARTOON
IST IN SAN FRANCISCO
Andy Matthews, probably the first
.o; al boy to attract attention as a
artoonist, will leave in a few days
'ay San Francisco, where he will try
his fortune in the field of ids chosen
A-ork. For several years, while
keeping employment with the local
delivery system, he lias studied and
applied hh) talents until he now be
lieves he will be able to hold his own
:n any position where his services
ue required. Mr. Matthews at
tracted notice with his drawings and
sketches several years ago and many
have since appeared in various pub
lications, lie is one of the most
:r.pular young men in the city and
!iis career will consequently be
matched with much interest. Mr.
Matthews is the third boy who has
left here recently for California to
pursue cartooning, those preceding
aim being Clarence Tester, who is
studying at San Fiancisco, and Bert
Itates, who is connected with a paper
ut Hollywood, a suburb of Los An
geles. LOCAL PEOPLE SHOULD
LEARN LOGGING METHODS;
BIG TRIP IS PLANNED
Thinking that the probable estau
lishment of sawmilling industries in
this vicinity should be preceded by
i knowledge of the features and
methods of such enterprises by the
business people of this city, S. C.
Barlrum. local forest supervisor, has
planned a course of instruction by
which the evolution- of lumber may
1,0 learned in all its phases in a
couple of days.
The men may go by automobile
or train, and after reaching Cottage
urove will be taken to Disston where
the Fnited States Logging Co., by
special contract with the Govern
ment, cuts as many as two train
loads of logs a day, arid has one of
Ihe most modem equipments in ex
istence. A number of local business
men have already promised to go on
ihe instruction trip, according to Mr.
Bartrum, and under the latter's per
: jnal direction they will be shown
everv detail of the process from the
j Mine the stick leaves the timber until
it reaches the train in properly pro
; portioned logs or highly finished
lumber. They will see logging done
i by donkey engines, railways, and
i overhead cabb s, all of which are
most interesting.
: "The trip will familiarize the peo-
i pie of this vicinity with the smell
; nf sawdust," says Mr. Bartrum,
and every business man should at
, tend so as to accustom him to the
i new business development that will
j f ome to linseburg not many years
hence.'' The trip will be made prub
: ably next week.

Their lack of Co-operation in handling
the Present Situation
PORTLAND, Sept. 20. The State
Public Service Commission has
opened an investigation of the
Northwestern car shortage. Prelim
inary statements occupied the fore

ager of the S. P. Co., said: "There
is a similar California shortage, but
the people there deem it an evidence
of prosperity." He criticised Ore

lowing causes for the shortage: Un
precedented Kastern manufacturing
activity, deficiency ship tonnage on
both coasts, closure of the Panama
Canal, freight congestion at Kastern

ure to fulfill their contracts.

The Review today received a
splendid article written by Dr. C. 11.
llalley in which ho calls the atten
tion of the farmers nnd fruitgrowers
! fn 1 Illo 4.. I.n f.,.l fl-.Xtl
the establishment of a cannery -in
thin vicinitv.
The article follows:
In the Saturday's number of The
Review 1 saw an article urging the
Uo;H'lmrg Commercial Club to get
behind a co-operative canning fac
tory. The man on the Btreet will
tell you that a cannery will not
come to Uoseburg because of the
fact that there Is not enough pro
duce raised to warrant the erection
or such an Institution. That is un
doubtedly true, but, if the mer
chants and business men of Rose
burg will take care of the business
end of such a plant, as master of the
Crango In Douglas County, I will
take it upon myself to visit every
local tiraugo ill the county nnd ob
tain sufficient acreage lo warrant
going ahead with tho venture.
At the fair grounds last Friday,
Mr. Radford, of Drain, one ut the
directors or the Drain cannery, told
me that he has this season grown
II I no pounds or string henna on a
quarter ol an acre of ground, and
that these beans will bring to the
grower about three cents per pound.
This little cannery, the only ono In
Douglas County, has already shipped
two car loads of canned string
beans, and cannot begin to fill its
orders.
While It is true that all co-operative
canneries are not a success,
neither are all privately owned can
neries a success; notably, hh the one
at tireeii. It is not necessary to
start with a large invest meni , but
rather with a small outfit built oil
Hie unit system, so that it can be
added to as conditions warrant.
We all admit Hint we are hard up,
from a financial point of view, but
is 11 not uur own fault? Itusiness is
booming back Fast in the manufac
turing centers, and it Is up to us to
get some of this good time money
hero on the coast. The writer knows
of al least three crops that would
bring into Douglas Counly as much
money as the broccoli crop will Ibis
season, and the latter wlll add at
least $100,111111 to the wVallh or the
county this coming winter. As soon
as we ran make Hie people ot Doug
las County see the heneHls of a
tounty ngrliul1 urist a man who
would have the time to promote the
growing of these crops in a co
operative way, lor any other way
spells raillire we will he on tile
riglil road to prosperity. We have
tho climate, the soil and other ron
dllloiiH to grow crops that ure In
demand In Ihe lOast, but as yet we
have not that spirit of pulling to
gether that leads to success. Let's
all work together to build up the
farming industry of the county,
learn to grow co-operatively, pro
duce that 111 demand in the big Fnat
ern centers, nnd every business and
professional man of the cities of the
county will find It easier to meet his
