,xi:.
William Pollimin, one of the
owners of the Douglas County
Water & Light Company, and
president of the First National
Hank at Maker, Oregon, had
the following to say regarding
the action of U. S. Senator
Harry Lano. of Oregon, in op
posing tlio request of Presi
dent Wilson for the arming of
American merchantmen: "I
read Senator Lane's speech
and I believe he took -the
right stand."
I.......j..i.....j.m...I
Sentiment among the people of
Douglas County, as far as could be
ascertained today, appears to con.
demn United Slates Senator Harry
Lane, of Oregon, for opposing the re
(liiest of President Wilson for armed
neutrality. .
Some of the views expressed by
prominent residents of Koseburg fol
low: Dr. George K. Ilouck (Republican)
"Senator's Lane's action In not
supporting the President Is incom
prehensible."" J. II- Booth (Republican) "This
is not a time for bickering. Sena
tor Lane and the entiro country
should stand solidly behind the
President."
L. Wlmberly (Democrat) "Every
Senator and every citizen should sup
port the President In this, crisis."
James Sawyers (Republican) "1
am ashamed of Senator Lane for op
posing the President in the present
crisis."
.1. K. Mc.Cllnt.uck (Democrat I
"Senator Lane would do well to re
sign from his present position."
Joseph Micelli (Democrat) "I am
ready to recall Senator Lane or auy
other Senator who opposed the
President In the present crisis."
Mayor Rice (Democrat). "Sena
tor Lane must be crazy. I cannot
understand why he opposed the
President."
Henry Richardson (Republican)
"When the present turmoil has
abated I think the people of Oregon
will find that the 12 Senators who
opposed armed neutrality did the
cuunlry a good turn."
II. C. Darby (Democrat) "I am
certainly surprised at the attitude of
Senator Lane regarding the armed
neutrality bill."
Sheriff Quine (Republican) "I
was much disappointed when 1
. learned that Senator Lane had op
posed the President."
Judge Hamilton (Democrat)
President Wilson has the support of
our people-at this trying time, and
it is regretuble that an Oregon Sena
tor should fail to give him his sup
port." Dr. A. C. Seely ( Republican I "It
is a disappointment to me that Sena
tor Lane should fall to support the
President for tinned neutrality."
Attorney Dexter Rice (Democrat)
-' The action of Senator Lane in
not fully supporting the President
cannot be too stronglycondenmed."
Slate Senator B. L. Kddy (liepub
lican (-"Oregon should be on record
supporting the administration."
Ringer Hermnnn (Republican)
"The people of Oregon nnd the I'nit
ed Slates should stand suuarely be
hind President Wilson In his request
for measures whereby he may pro
tict the lives of Americans on the
high seas."
o. P. Coshow i Democrat I "Sena
tor Lane's refusal to support Presi
dent Wilson In Hi -.rr,-nt crisis Is
a hitter disappointment to me."
(ieorge Neuner (Republican)
"Congress should remain In extra
passion to meet any emergency In the
present European crisis.
William Hell (Democrat) "I was
much disappointed when I learned
that Senator Lane had refused to
support the President for armed neu
t nil My."
R. It. Turner I Democrat ) "It is
cerlalnly unfortunate that Senator
lrfme so misunderstood the senti
ment of his constituents In Oregon
that he opposed the request of Presi
dent Wilson for armed neutrality. I
believe he made a grave mistake."

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. People fjom all sections
of Oregon are expected to be pres
ent at Kugene Saturday, and it is
considered quite important that
Roseburg should bo represented by
a big delegation of citizens.

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
