A KecorU HesNlon.
With the ending of the eighth bal
lot at 1 o'clock the present conven
tion went down In history as a
record breaker. By its action the
convention surpassed the long-distance
rfcord of 1888, which nominat
ed Harrison.
More ('oiiferenees Held.
Colonel Proctor, one of Wood's
managers, held a protracted confer
ence with Lowden during the recess.
It was reported that Wood and Low
don adherents are planning to pool
their strength temporarily for the
nurpose of "back-firing" the drift to
Harding.
Last minute mayeuvers before the
convention met to resume balloting
included a decision by the Pennsyl
vania leaders to cast their votes for
Sproulo and then Join the movement
for an adjournment until Monday. It
was stated at the Johnson headquar
ters that the senator had directed his
cohorts to continue to fight. The re
cess was forced by a threat from the
Johnson camp to throw their
strength to Wood unless It was
firrantd for consideration of the sit
uation. In Philadelphia, Mr. Hois1
Penrose in a statement this after
noon gave his unqualified endorse
ment to Senator Hardins as the man
preeminently fitted for the presi
dency. Hardins Takes Icnil.
As soon as the convention con
vened Governor Lowden took the
stand and released all of his dele
gates. The ninth ballot was then
takn with the following result:
Harding 37m. Wood 249. Sproule
78. Coolldge 28. Hoover 6, Butler 2.
Knox 1. At the end of the ninth
ballot Sproule released the Pennsyl
vania delegates.
Kay Penrose Very 111.
Members of thfi Pennsylvania
delegation said they had received a
telegram from Senator Penrose's
physician saying that, the senator Is
very low and might not live through
the day and for that reason they
were inclined to question the state
ment respecting Senator Harding at
tributed to Senator Penrose in Phila
delphia. DEMOCRATIC CENTHAI,
COMMITTEE MEETS
The county democratic central
committee met this afternoon at the
city hall for the purpose of organ
izing and arranging plans for the

According to Information which
has rec.-ntly been released by County
Kruit Inspector E. C. Armstrong, the
fire blight, one of the moat dreaded
of fruit diseaaes, has made its ap
pearance in this district and strin
gent measures must be taken to
stamp It out before a considerable
damage la done. Inspector Arm
strong issues a strict warning that all
fruitgrowers be on the lookout for
the first appearance of the blight and
waste no time in eradicating it. In
spector Armstrong said, in speaking
of the disease:
"It may be found on apple, pear,
and quince trees. It Is recognized by
tho wilting and dying of spurs, twigs
and branches. The dead foliage
clings to the twigs, turnlngjlaek In
the case of pears, and brownish In
the apple or quince. Vie bark of the
infected area also turns dark col
ored. When the disease la very ac
tive, bacteria ooie out of the Infeoted
parts in pearly drops that contain
millions of individuals. The ooze is
attractive to Insects, which become
contaminated with th germs and
easily spread"the disease. The exu
dations also may be washed by rains,'
or spattered on foliage or green
shoots and start new Infections.
"The season of most rapid devel
opment corresponds with the season
of most active growth of the tree.
and warm, molBt conditions will fa
vor the spread of the dlaeaset
"The only successful method of
fighting the fire blight is by remov
ing the diseased parts from affect e.l
trees. Branches should be cut. hack
from from to two feet below the
point of the lowest evident discolora
tion. "After each cut is made the tool
used should be sterilized with a so
lution of ono part bichloride of mer
cury to BOO parts of water. Or In
cury to 600 paatrs of water. Or In
other words, use one grain tablet of
bichloride of mercury and one grain
of cyanide of mercury to one pint of
water. The wound on the limb of
the tree should also be sterilized with
the same material as Boon as the
cutting is finished.
"While the blight ' usually easily
detected by one who Is accustomed
to working with It, one who has no',
had experience will have difficulty in
Identifying It. " Kor thia reason It is
best to call the fruit Inspector when
ever you And a suspicious looking
specimen.
"Remember the disinfectant rec
ommended id very poisonous and
should be kept where It will do no
harm."

GASOLINE FAMINE

and Distributing jtiMllne
to the Filling St a lions.
The gasoline shortage in Koseburg
practically came to an end today
with the arrival of a carload of gaso
line from Los Angeles, the first of
the shipment ordered by the Douglas
County Automobile Dealers associa
tion. Another carload is due in 24
hours and others will follow at five
day Intervals as long as the shortage
exists. The standard Oil is expect
ing another carlond within a few
days, tracers now being out to ascer
tain the whereabouts of tho car
which was shipped several days ago.
Each of the cars shipped from Los
Angeles contain 1 2.000 gallons of
gasoline, which will be sufficient lo
keep the filling stations operating for
some time. The gasoline was ob
tained from the Fairfield Oil com
pany, an independent concern, which
states that It stands rt-ady to keep
the city supplied as long as the de
mand shall exist. The dealers have
made arrangements for a continua
tion of deliveri until such a time
as the local plant Is in a position to
keep up with tho demand, after
which tfme It Is probable that the
orders will be discontinued.
Tho first car arrived earlv this
morning and B. L. Hyland. of the lo
cal Standard OH plant, graciously of
fered his large trucks to assist In un
loading and distributing. The offer
was accepted, and within a short
time stations were given all tho gaso
line thdr tanks would accommodate.
Tanks whirh have been dry for a
number of davR werr i?Ivimi liberal
supply and within a few days it fs
oxpected that there will be nr fur
ther nerd for restricting sale.
The dealers request conservation.
ut stand ready to supply service
and pleasure cars with all tho gaso
line needed. Tourists were given full
tanks and were allowed to resume
their journeys. The relief was
greatly appreciated by autofsfs and
tho streets again assumed a busy ap
pearance after having been nnrtlallv
deserted by automobiles for several
weeks.
The situation over the entire coast
appears to to preatly improved
Tourist travel has been resnmod to

'Gentlemen, It la time we were

I. W. Hamilton last night opened a
onference of local business men re
garding the reviving ot the Chamber
f Commerce, The conference waa
luletly railed and was attended by
learly all of those whoso presence
v-as requested. It was not deemed
est to call an open meeting until
:iich a time as the affairs of the old
.rganizatlon can be wound up and
or this reason a group of Interested
ind representative men were called
into conference to consider the plans
'or concluding the old business and
aunchlng a new effort which will
tut Roseburg on tbe map commer
cially. The meeting was the most on.ll--nlstlc
in tone to be held for a long
ime. All present spoke heartily In
avor of tho Chamber of Commerce
mil advised that a. vigorous cam
paign be Initiated within the very
ear future to revive Interest and
o arrange for the handling of th
arloua activities which fall to the
ot of the average chamber of com
nerce. Speakers expressed the opinion
hat Roseburg and Douglas county
ire on the verge of an era of great
lrosporlty. Thoro seems to be a new
Hilrlt growing which demands de
velopment and It la expected that
'orward steps will be taken and their
results visualized within the next

nerce Is a 'clearing center for the
arloua activities and without such
n organization the advancement of
tnseburg will, be much slower than
f the co-operntlon of all residents lu
he business of the chamber Is real
zed. It was the concensus of opinion
hat Immediate steps to take advant
ige of the opportunity offered by the
Mirlne convention at Portland must
e taken. The furnishing of flow
rs to those passing through tho
Ity was heartily endorsed while the
imposition of furnishing Roseburg
oses for Portland hotels was also
oiiiMon-'ed. An effort will be mado
o provide funds for these purposes
nil ul.o for other advertising feat,

It was decided that another con-oren-e

lon and Rose Festival and will start
ts work at once to put plans for
hat task Into execution.
It la believed that the people of
tosebiirg want a Chamber of Com
nerce. There seems to bo practlcal
v no opposition to such an organiza
tion, the only thing to overcome bo
ng the lethargy which seems to
itand In the way of the city's ad
vancement. The Chamber of Com
nerce cannot be supported entirely
sv business men. It Is for every per
on of the city and everyone should
ake an Interest In It. It is to .e
hoped that at Wednesday's ii.eUng
here will be a siiifi' ient t.-pr. nta
in of the residents of h el'y to
nsure the su'-c.-ssful future of tho
