One Paid Fireman.
Less than a year ago Uoseburg's
fire department was a disgrace to a
city half the size of Roseburg. To
day it is something to be proud of
and all citizens should admire it and
he proud of the record it has made
during the past seven months.
From an antiquated affair of a
couple or hand-drawn hose carts
and a hand-drawn chemical engine
that was too heavy for practical use
and a system by which as much as
in minutes sometimes elapsed be
tween the time the fire alarm
was sounded and the fire depart
ment got awuy from headquarters,,
the department has been transform
ed into an up-to-date organization
with a motor fire truck and a record
of not more than 30 seconds for a
getaway from headquarters after
the alarm is given. In addition to
this, one paid fireman is on dut
at all times and six firemen sleep
at headquarters every night. They
have an alarm system by which they
can find the location of a fire and
be on their way before the fire
whistle is blown. The firemen haw
fitted up a flno club room and sleep
ing quarters and have made other
needed additions to tiie department.
Nothing but praise is received for
their work at every fire.
All this has been brought about
by the energy and persistence of the
firemen, with the assistance of the
city council.
With the exception of the paid
man, all the firemen donate their
services to the city. The department
receives but JIG a month from the
city and what other money is re
quired by the fire department must
he earned by the fire boys them
selves, In addition to donating their
services at fires. The means most
relied upon to earn this additional
money is the annual Christmas Ball
t!ivon by tho department. Last year
the firemen promised to spend the
money cleared from the Christmas
dance in furnishing their club roonit,
and sleeping quarters. They cleared
$i:iK from the danco. and spent over
$225 In furnishing the club rooms
and in buying equipment, which
shows conclusively that they keep
their word. In order to maintain
the department on Its present high
standard and keep up the progres
sive work the firemen need more
money and they are relying upon
their Christmas Hall on Christmas
night, Dec. 2", to earn a tidy sum
for them.
The firemen's ball last year was
the bis event of the year and every
one who attended pronounced hav
ing had a most enjoyable time. They
are trying to make it even better
this year and without doubt will
succeed In doing so. That It will
again be the big event o the year
goes without saying.
If you want to see the fire de
partment continue along its present
progressive lines land continue to
improve as it. has during the past.
year buy a ticket to the firemen's
ball. Tho firemen will judge to
large extent from the patronage to
their dance as to how their work is
appreciated. so if you appreciate
the work they have done and are do
ing, show them you do by patronis
ing their dance.
Practically none of the money re
ceived by the fire department goes
to the fire boys, but is put Into ef
fects that become city property, so in
patronizing the fire department
dance you are not contributing to
anyone individually, but are helping
purchase needed aquipment and in
addition are showing the fire boys
that you appreciate their services.
So. whether or not you danct-. buy
a ticket to the firemen's nail and
help along an excellent cause.
Mrs. J. 1. Baiter, wife of a local
rooming house proprietor, died at
li:3u o'clock this inoruing at their
establishment on Lane street. She
was the daughter of Rev. Jacob
Coon, one of the pioneer ministers
of the state, and died from heart
trouble after an illness of about
two years. She was 62 years of
age.
Mrs. Baker, who had won the
sympathy of a large circle of friends,
here since the confinement to her
bed during the past months, was an
early resident of Douglr.s County
and before her illness took an act
ive interest In the llaptist church
and was a member of the local Ke-
bekah lodge. She lived first at
Looking Class', where she was mar
ried in 1 87 2, and since that time
has lived in Coos County, at Eu
gene, and at Winstons. She was
born in the Willamette Valley and

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING
ItOSKHl lUi FOR THE PURPOSE
OF HOLDING A BIG TOY PARTY
. 11 Hi CHRISTMAS TKEE IS
PROMISED.
WRITE SANTA CLAUS A LETTER
The Letter Should Contain the Nnme
of the Child, Together With tho
Ago and Toy Preferred Big
Time Anticipated.
Santa Claus Is coming to Rose
burg this Christmas for the special
purpose -of holding a big toy party
to gladden the hearts of such child
ren as may not be viewing the ap
proaching holiday with any degree
of happiness. He has requested the
Review to invito the-presence of all
those children who are not assured
of toys through the general custom
ot paremlul donation, and ho will
be very, very sorry if such children
fail to como to see him. He is going
to have a great big tree laden to its
fullest capacity with ail sorts of
pretty toys, and these will he dis
tributed among the little boys and
girls who attend the party.
In order to make it as easy a.
possible for Santa Claus to arrange
for this happy event, he requests
and urges every child in Roseburg
who is not assured of a Christmas
present from any other source tu
write him a letter, addressing it
thusi: . V
Santa Claus, City.
Deposit tho letter iu the Rose
burg postoffice or in n street letter
box. Theme it will find its way to
Santa Claus' toy shop through spe
cial arrangement witli the local
postmaster. Every Heller Sent to
Santa should, without fail, bear all
of this information concerning the
writer:
1. Name of child nnd complete
street address.
2. Ago.
3. Toy preferred.
The sex and age of the child will
enable Santa Claus to select pres-

In Oregon need be crippled one dol
lar In economical administration by
the passage of the tax limitation
amendment IF.
But that little conjunction will be
the cause of more cat tights than
any Legislature in Oregon ever saw,
when the boys (and girls) meet in
biennial session and the grab opens.
If the Legislature will get right
TO ! down to rivets, get down to business
as a board of directors in a big
business institution would when It
faced an expense l'st bigger that its

of Income to run a state of 800,000
population on under the present tax
limitation law, without crippling or
holding back needed support of state
Institutions.
Here's where the pruner may be
used. These figures are from the
records of the Secretary of State at
Salem for the years 1913-1914.
. The Fish and Game Commission
was given an appropriation of $f8.
000 in addition to almost $400,000
It collected in fees. It would be just
possible for this giant commission to
get along without any more state
gifts, or better yet, reduce its ex
penses and return $100,000 of its
receipts to the state institutions who
need it more.
One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars could be clipped from this
commission alone.
The board of forestry was appro
priated $75,000 and received $13,
000 In fees. Suppose this board was
told there was nothing coming to It
but the foes? Do you suppose you
and I would ever realize there was
nnything gone from the state?
And here you have $225,000 ex
pense stopped in two itenin.
Tho Railroad Commission. For
value received It is of no more ac
count than a third vice president in
a missionary society. True, it duly
met in Salem some time ago and
duly declared that the railroads were
the cause of the car shortage, but the
most of us had a hazy idea that It
was the railroads rather than the Ep
worth League that was responsible.
Jf there was no Railroad Commission
Oregon would get along just as well
as it does now and be ahead the $70,
000 tho state gives it.
And now we have $295,000 saved
(on paper,) and-, no one dead or
mangled.
The State Engineer's office received
$91,000 In appropriations and fees.
Tho Courier has never seen the ex
pense list of this office, but we know
It costs this amount to run it. Sup
pose the Legislature says that one
half this amount will be all that will
be available for the next two years.
The result would be a lot of follows

Commission
has been a bono for state officials to
fight over for the past two years and
its administration almost a state senn-
dal. V011 who keep informed KNOW
this statement is true. And did you
know that In appropriations and feeB
for 1913-1914 tills one commission
had over $200,000? If this amount
were cut In half we would get all the
highway commission we needed nnd
$100,000 could be turned into the
treasury.
And this adds tn the expenses stop
ped to the amount of $440,000.
The State Water Board was given
$ 10,000 nnd I wonder if a half dozen
readers of this Courier can tell what
for? Or if they would ever know If
it was abolished?
Tho State Tax Commission was
given $30,000, nnd every bit of
their work could be taken care of
hy the Individual counties.
The sealer of weights and meas
ures Is an absolutely unneeded of
fice. It is ns much of a crime to
short weight ns to short change and
county officials can regtilato nnd
prosecute.
The Bureau of Mines was glvon
$40,000. This might bo cut until
the state got on Its feet, and more
people, wealth and taxation forth
coming. The sanitary livestock board gets
$50,000. It would be possible to get
along without It, or toss it Into some
other commlfcsltin whose members
don't have io work overtime.
The factory inspector holds up
every place he Investigates for far
more than Its costs, and yet tho
Legislature comes across with an
appropriation.
Tho Industrial Welfare Commis
sion (don't know any more about
Its workings than its name), gets
$7,000.
The State Immigration Agent getsi
$50,000, and the editor or the Taxi
Liberator says seven families leave 1
