The story ho had been lelllnir was damaging to my character and 1 wuiiti'd to seo him about it and really find out whether or not he hail paid anything llko that. When 1 saw him approuching the house I handed the mandolin to Jimmy und said, 'Here, you take the iuaudoliu and go nnd get the music, I want to see .Mr. Iirunibaugh a minute.' I walked over and met the old gentleman at the gate and we started talking, walking towards his house as we did so. He would not give me a civil answer and sneered all the while I was talking. After we reached the Interior of the house he turned to me und said, 'You got out of here or I'll put you out,' and then he made a plunge nt me und I backed up agaltiBt the wall. He was between the door and me. He struck me on the arms and shoulders and onco on the lip, which started to bleed. I then lost my temper and hit hlm on tho forehead a glancing blow. Ho turned and fell faco downward on a Dile of rubbish and boards in the coiner. I stood on the edge of the porch until ho got up, and then I walked away. 1 reported the ailalr I to Harry It ice, the mayor, and he informed me that I would get a souare trial after I had told him that Iirunibaugh said, 'You are a stranger here and I have lots of friends. Ve can hand It lo you.' I did not intend to barm Brumbaugh, but his an swers aggravated me so that a fight resulted." Jimmy Rice, who was with Dun can just prior to the fight, testified that ho emerged from the Martin home shortly after Duncan left hlm to go with Brumbaugh, and heard a noise. like someone scuffling. He started towards the scene of actioon and arrived at the gate Just as Dun can left the house. Ilice testified that Duncan was spitting blood and that his lip was swollen. He saul that he had never heard the boy say any thing tending to show that he was laying in wait for Brumbaugh. Mayor Hurry Rice, of Myrtle Creek, was culled next and told his story of the affair. He asserted the wounds received by Brumbaugh were not serious and said he dressed them for the old man. "If it had not been for the small town gossips this trouble would not have started." said Mayor Rice. "They cause more trouble in a small town than all the rest put, together ,and I wanted (he affair settled right here at home." At the close of the testimony a heated argument took place between Attorneys Rice and Neuner, and Judge Riddle closed the case by changing the charge to assault ami battery and fining the boy $25.

A large number of applications, all from ex perienced high -salaried teachers have been received and no onxlety is now felt as to the filling of all vacancies. One of the detect itiing factors much in the favor of lv : "Wj.', s fins to be the climatic advent. iges which never before has been cited as a drawing card for those in tho teaching pro fession. Many of the applications Mate that they have heard of Rose burg's climate, and although they are receiving hifch salaries where they are. they are desirous of chang ing their location. Several have come from eastern Oregon, and although there is a large difference in salary between here and there, the climatic advantages peeni to atone for the variation. Within a short time It is expected the entire teaching staff will have been selected, and will be an nounced as soon as reveral of the contracts which are out at. present, have been signed and returned. One of the finest gifts that has yet been presented by a graduating class to their Alma Mater has been conceived and offered by the class of 1920. and the arrangements for tho acceptance of the gift have Just been completed. Since the burning of tho Roseburg high school several years ago and tho erection of the new building, there has been a noticeable lack of pictures, both in the assembly hall and tho class rooms. A certain number of good masterpieces are necessary in a good school and are one of the requisites, tho lack of which lowers the standards of the school. Although up to this time few have been purchused, It was the intentions of the school board latel to authorize the purchase of several to hang about tho building. The senior class of this year anticipated thiB move on the part of the board, and will leave as a lasting memorial of their love nnd rospect for Hose- burg high school copies of famous pictures by well known artists amounting to the sum of $2.". Tills sum was placed at the dis posal of a committee composed of Miss Buth Ann Wilson of the mathe matics department, Superintendent A. O. Smith, Miss Irma MartcuB, Leslie Butner. president of the stu dent body, and Vernita. Kohlhagen. president of the senior class, who. from a large number of masterpieces selected the following list: The Fighting Temeralre . . . .Turner Tho Dawn Eggleston End of Day Adan Angelus Millet Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial Photograph Horses of Sehlllos Itegnault Joan of Arc I Page Reading From Homer Alma Tadema Avenue of Mlddel-Ilarnis . .Hobbena Temple of Philae Pharoahs Atlantas Raco Poynter Indian and Lilly Brush Matinee Corot A. Lincoln St. Oaudens Poet's Corner ..Westminster Abbey Tho pictures are attractively framed, and several were selected for their especial fitness for several branches of tho school work. For Instance tho Joan of Are will bo hung In the French room, the Beading From Homer In the Uatln room. Ab raham Lincoln In the history depart ment, and The Poets Corner In the English room. Each picture will contain In one corner a small silver plate on which will be Inscribed the words: Presented by the Senior Class of 1 920. The sHes of the frame, will be from 20x24 to 28x36.

Forest Truck Causes Trouble In "trading" trucks with the Umpqua forest. W. L Naylor, of the Cascade forest, found that th' "flivver" would not negotiate the mud holes resulting from the recent rain and was forced to abandon the machine before reaching Eugene. The heavy truck used by the Cascade forest officials was too heavy for the roads and It was decided to trail with the Umpqua officials for the Ford truck used here. W. E. Naylor attempted to take the light truce back after bringing the heavier oil" here, but was held up In the mud near Vonealla. R. S. Shell, y. super visor of the Cascade forest, succeed ed in getting the truck to Eugene Saturday, lie drove to Yoncalla In his car, Mrs. Shelley going along snd driving their own machine back. As Mr. Shelley was driving the truck along the road he picked up a pedes trian who asked for a ride. It was learned that the stranger could drive the truck and Mr. Shelley asked him to drive ahead whllo he went hack to aee what had become of Mrs. Shellev ns he had not seen her with the car for some time. II. went back and Big Meeting Is Expected Tonight Indications ute that the mass nceiing to bo held at Ihe city hall this evening for the purpose of or ganizing a chamber of commerce will be largely attended and will be very enthusiastic All members of the loniier organization have been noti fied and from the responses received I is certain that there will be a large number In attendance. The meeting will be called to order by J. W. Hamilton as touiporary chairman and officers will be elected and the or ganization established. '1 here is a grent and Immediate need for organization at this time, lor wttn unprecedented crowds scheduled to pass through the city there is a great opportunity for pub licity. Tho work initiated by the rormer cnamuer ol commerce (s Just ;rom I!oca8port; '. . r. l" "" "' , . w,ay This committee is to act as a sort ,h VT """ . "". cny;n( an arbter for any future ques tions that may arise. Tho men on this committee are Messrs. T. W. Angus and W. H. Jewctt, of Gardi ner, and Messrs. Napier, Lamb and favors, of Reedsport. Mr. Napier in his address before the meeting told if the advantages ho, as a newcomer, could see In the lower Umpqua region. - It waa with a great deal -of satis faction to all concerned that unity Is in sight for the lower Umpqua. Unity spells progress. Here are the reasons why differ ences should be burled: The re umrcs of the country are unlimited: the country la rich In timber; Ihe iatrylng Industry promises to Btand out foremost in this state, and the ame future Is In store for the flsh ng nnd canning Industries. Many ntlla are operating in tho lower I'nipqtia country and there Is room Tor twice aH many more. The roads leading to within and out of the lower Umpqmi country iced attention. New roads have to if" built and the country must bo ipened up with the outside world by i good system of roads. The water ways must in tin' same way be im iroved. The Fort of Umpqua must ' ave official recognition In Washlng on, D. C. The port with Its won lerful resources must be made known nt I he national capital and its wants, llnanclally, given attention, tliiverniiieiil aid Is necessary. All of these natural resources ought to bo developed and they can be developed by taking hold of the situation In a business like way. Problems Uiat may seem gigantic at i ho present titno for the uplift of this wonderful L'mpqua country will soon on mastered and solved. The country tsiir will prosper and so will each nliabliutit prosper. All are anxious o hear the wheels of progress re volve without friction. However, harity towards one another must be diov.ii before the big things can bo .iccuinpliiihcd. Th; lower Umpqua country In ludi's, recognizes, and is willing to - unci de the wants of every geo graphical part or tie country, bo It .smith river, Heedsport, (Jardiner, Seiitlsluirg, Elkton or Ash. All these pans of the country have to bo con sdlered. These places, every one, nut be considered as an integral part of tho whole. If roads or bar ,uid harbor Improvements are what ome mie part of the lower Umpqua country n Is, then the lower Ump- tita coiiitiiuiiities ought to stand as a unit until their demands are heard and granted. This spirit of get-logetherlsm will lie successful and bear fruit only In '"otar as the spirit grows and spreads. The germination and maturity of th" move together v-.il show suites ol .iteady progress in proportion us each "lart of the lower I'lupinm countrv tnges ihe rest of the same country into Its confidence with utmost good faith, pood will and sincerity. The lower t iiii'iua country must prosper and progress. All want to see it go tliead and ail should help lo push it ahead. Former Students At University Mrs. !:. R. Hanan and Mrs. S. F.
