The new road will be about three and one-quarters milo In length, and upon completion will be on water grade. The grade which the court plans to eliminate through the construc tion of the new road has been tho j :iceno of a number of near-fatal ae-r-idents during the past few years, and its improvement lias been con templated by the court for some (hue. In the event the engineer Is able to complete his preliminary survey in time, actual work on the new road will probably begin early in tho spring.

I PETITION'S ARE IN CIRCULATION HERE TODAY AGAINST CLOS ING THE LOWER UMPQUA TO COMMERCIAL FISHING GARDINER HACKS MOVE. FISHING INDUSTRY IMPORTANT It In Estimated That $200,000 Is Re alized Annually From the Visit ing Industry Many Are (iven Employment. Believing that the fishing Industry of Northwestern Douglas County is endangered as a result of certain threats made by the members of the present State Legislature, the offi cers of the Gardiner Commercial Club have placed a number of peti tions1 in circulation about the county protesting against closing the lower Umpqua Uiver to commercial fish-, ing. One of the petitions arrived in Roseburg this morning and Is being signed freely by the people of this vicinity. The petition sets out that under the present system of controlling the commercial fishing, which might be Improved by a few minor changes, an abundance of salmon reach the upper river. In substantial ion of this assertion, the Gat-diner resi dents declare salmon were never more plentiful at the dams near Roseburg and Winchester than at. the present time, it is claimed by tho Gardiner Commercial Club that not less than $200,000 is realized annually through the fishing indus try of Douglas County, and that hundreds of people are B'ven em ployment during the many months of the year. In tho event tho river Is closed to commercial fishing, this money will be lost by the merchants of th e counly and hundreds of fish ermen will be thrown out ' of em ployment and compelled to seek work elsewhere, instead of closing tho lower river to fishing, tho Gardi ner people believe the facilities for expanding the fishing industry should bo Increased, As soon as the petitions are filled with signatures they will be taken to Salem by a resident of Gardiner and offered for consideration in op position to any bill thai may have for Us purpose the closing of the river for commercial fishing. Since the destruction of the plant of th0 Gardiner Mill Company re cently, the people of that vicinity are depending upon tho fishing in dustry as one of their chief sources of revenue, and they do not feel that this important asset should be legislated out of existence. HEAVY GRADES NORTH OF MYRTLE CREEK MAY BE ELIMINATED SOON County Commissioner H. E. Nich ols etated this morning that the members of tho County Court had undertaken the preliminary work of improving the road leading into Myrtle Creek from the north. The piece of road which it is proposed to improve is located about a mile north of Myrtle Creek, and winds over a steep hill and through huge ledges of solid rock. County Surveyor M. II. Germond Is now making a preliminary survey for a new road, which if adopted by the court, will eliminate the present heavy grade and place the highway on a grade not to exceed five per cent. The road in question is a part of the Pacific Highway, and its Im provement has been considered by the court upon several previous oc cf'iions. Mr. Germond Is expected to ret urn here tomorrow, when he will begin the work of preparing the necessary maps and other data which will have to be passed upon by the court. In the event the court decides to construct the road in accordance with their tentative plans, actual work will probably begin early in the pring. Geo.

Having traded his 4 0 aero tract near here some time ago for a Biml lar acreage near Wlnt'ield, Kansas, H. L. Miller, of West ltoseburg, is now believed to bo tho possessor of very valuable oil proporty, which will probably return a profit of sev eral thousand dollars. Mr. Miller a few days ago was visited by a resident of the Kansas city and Is said to have been offered $10,000. He will not sell tho prop erty, however, until ho is more fully acquainted with the conditions. At the time of the trade, Mr. Mil ler, who has been engaged in truck farming here for several years, had obtained some knowledge of the oil fields located in the vicinity of his contemplated purchase. Ills son visited the premises and decided there was a possibility for develop ment some timo in tho future. Today the wells of tho Empire Gas & Fuel Co. practically surround tho place, and the property Is the only ono In the neighborhood which has not been bored and set to gushing forth oil or gas. On account of the terms of the trade, Mr. Miller will release his place in West Kosesburg, which was acquired by Dr. It. M. Bradford, to. tho new owner some time this spring. Ho will then tako his family on an extensive auto trip and probably will visit his holdings In Kansas. The land is said to bo well suited to farming and is located but three miles from the city of Wlnrield. II has already .been tentatively exam ined and every indication seems to point, according to the authorities, to the presence of oil or gas in large (luantittes. The district is widely known for these properties within tho earth, and several large indus tries hnve been build up on all sides of the Miller tract. It is tho plan of Mr. Miller to make an investigation as soon aB he Is able to reaech tho ground, after which he will be In ap ositton to dc slde whether to consider the offers or undertake the development of the place hiniself. Tho Kansas resident who recently made the offer Is still in the city.

TAKES GAME ItOSEHUHG DASKETIJAM, TEAM WINS IN SENSATIONAL MATCH WITH FAST COLLEGE TEAM EROM OKLAHOMA VISITORS ARE HUMILIATED. CARL BLACK TURNS THE TIDE local Store Man Enters Contest In Second Period, llilnglng CoufU donee (o Teammates Which Spells Vlclory. Not to ho contenders for cham pionship honors of the United States, yet to administer the Waterloo to the fast Northwestern Normal School team, of Alvu, Oklahoma, one of the country's foremost challengers, was the unexpected glory nnd achieve ment attained by the Roseburg High School basketball team In their opening ganio of. the season at the armory Tuesday night. Also an added distinction Is given to tho locals in that they are the only high school toam so far met by the valors, Tuesday night's game being won by the locals by a Bcore of 84 lo .'12. Playing only university and professional aggregations, the visitors wore plunged to the depths of humiliation. Hut twice previously In 21 games had they been beaten, onco by the UnlvoiBlty of Wyoming nnd later by the Acorns, a profes sional club of San Franulsco. The game Itsolf wa9 nevertheless marvelous for tho skill shown by the visitors, but as If under the spell of some strange whim of chance, they were completely routed by a team, much loss experienced, considerably less artful and wholly nnilerconfi dont. The ltoseburg lads, however, outweighed their opponents, and mndo up in aggressiveness what they lacked In science. With tho ndvent of Carl lllaclc as guard In the second half, these qualities suddenly came to the fro 11 1 and like a tide that had been gathering strength they began to charge tho Oklahomnltcs off their feet. During tho second half tho hun dreds of local fans who had as sembled to wltnoss the contest went wild, and at the end of the contest the din was unspeakable. The visit ing team was no more surprised than the locale and tho spectators, and the outcome came as a prize package containing a gom. Hlack's replacement of Ilenils at tho beginning of tho second part wtis the signal for the overwhelming offensive. This continued for tho re mainder or tho game. The visitors were continually at a disadvantage on account of tho slippery floor, and ortcn the entire team was stretched out on tho smooth surface at one time. Such passing as was demon started, however, had never been seen before in tliiB city, nnd the spectators felt no doubt that they were entitled lo their reputation. Tying the score ut .'10 points about the middle of the half, the conclusion of the contest was of the most ex citing order possible. At the end or the first half the scoro stood 22 to 12 In ravor of the visitors, but thereafter the locals gained confi dence and It became a contest In which strength seemed to prevail. The visiting team left this morn ing for lOugene, where they will meet tho University of Oregon, af ter which they will play the Wllletn eite University at Halcm, nnd the M ul! noiiiah Club at Portland. The ltoseburg team was composed of Ted .lewett. center; Grant Osborn and (Icorge Willett, forwards: Carl lllack. Clifford Hemls and Ralph halilwln, guards. Every ltoseburg man played exceptionally and la en titled to credit In sharing tho vic tory. IIICVCLE SHOP SOLD.
