CANNERY FOR ROSEBURG WILL BE CONSIDERED HERE THIS EVEENING All arrangements have been com pleted for the meeting of the trus tees of the Roseburg Commercial Club, which will be held at the of fice of President Dexter Kite at 7: ,'itl o'clock this evening. A committee appointed by the Koseburg Merchants Association will be present at the meeting to confer with the trustees of the club with regard to establishing a can nery in this city. It is said that the club has received a number of ten tative propositions with regard to the establishment of a cannery in Roseburg, biit as yet no action of a definite nature has been taken. In the event a cannery is established here the funds for the erection of a building and the necessary equip ment will probably have to come from popular subscriptions or stock sold In the nlnnt. The mutter of nrt nneimr nn py- f cursion to Eugene next Saturday ; on the occasion of the "Good Roads Rally," will also be considered at tonight's ineeLing of the trustees, according to the statement of the secretary.

With about fifteen bUBineKs nnd profeHKional men of Roseburg in at tendance, the members of the South Deer Creek (grange Monday night held one of the most interesting meetings In tho history of the or ganization. The meeting opened with a num ber of selections by the South Deer Creek orchestra, under the leader ship of W. A. Kareher, and was fol lowed by tin address of welcome by ( K . Running, 'muster o f t h u Orange. Mr. Running said the In terests of the farmers and mer chantH of DouglaH County were in common and he considered It very proper that they should meet occa sionally and discuss mutters of mu tual Importance. Ho declured that tho members of tho South Deer Creek Orango would always be found ready and willing to co-opor-alo and work for any proposition which bud for Us purpose the up building and development of tho rural and business lnterosts of thlH section of tho state. Without co operat ion on the part of the mer chant s and farmers, Mr. Rannlng sulci tho growth or Douglas County would bo retarded and the people would not receive the benefits to which thoy are Justly entitled. Mr. MeCortnlck, also a member of the South Deer Creok Orange, spoko briefly on the "troubles of the fur- iner. " Ho declared that under the present system tho ranchers were ex periencing ntt ; end of trouble In finding a market for their products and that a change of conditions was essential In tho event tho futuro welfaro of the county was to be pro tected. While not saying as much, Mr. McCormlck Intimated that tho troubles now confronting the farm ers could probably bo traced In directly to lack of co-operation on the part of the mot chants. A number of other members of the Orange, including Dr. C. IL Knilcy, also took occasion to point out the troubles that confronted the runners of Douglas1 County under present conditions, it was the opin ion of these speakers that the ranch ers ami business men should co-operate more closely In their dealings and thereby bring a greater degree of prosperity to all cliisses of peo ple who depended nn tho advantages and resources of this county for a living. Rntess this co-operation Is brought about til the near future. It wuh argued that both the farmers and merchants would fall. A C. Marstnrs. president of the Roseburg Merchants' Association, talked at some length. He said he realized the difficulties encountered by the average farmer in disposing of IiIh products, but lie did not think the merchants were to blame for Ihe conditions Hint prevail. He said the marketing of farm products was a big problem and could not be solved In a day. He agreed with the farmers regarding their plea for co operation, however, and said a uni son of activity was the only manner In which Ihe development of a coun try could be assured. Marl Pickens, D. It. Ruhnr and a number of other local people talked briefly during the evening. I Following the speechmnklng the ladles of t be ti range served sand wiches, coffee and other appetizing d Ishos. The luncheon wns followed by a social hour which wns much enjoyed. The evening's program was enlivened by several musical and literary numbers1, and fully attested the excellent talent to be found In the South Deer Creek Orange. The merchants left here shortly after 7 o'tuock by automobile and returned before midnight. They nil i'lcirled good time and are anx ious that similar visits to other j Oranges shall be rut it re. arranged within the near irri ;i; Lit lnsf ism fr.
