.LA FOI.I.KTTK IS FAVORED.
CHICAGO. July 10. The
committee of forty-eight, assist-
ed by fraternal delegates rep-
resenting a half dozen- liberal
and radical organisations,
launched the third party movo-
ment here today in Its first na-
tional convention. Senator La
Follette, who won In the mall
referendum taken by the party
to determine the most popular
candidate for the party's presl-
dontial nomination, appeared to
have no opposition. Today's
session was given over to key-
noting and organisation work.
CHICAGO, July 10. TEe republi
can and democratic parties were de
nounced as "the right and ieft wings
of the same bird of prey" at' the
opening of a proposed "third party"
national convention here today. - -
Sounding the keynote of the as
semblage called together by the com
mittee of forty-eight to adopt a plat
form and place In the field another
set of candidates for presidency and
vice-presidency. Allen McCurdy, tem
porary chairman, charged that the
.two big parties had evaded para
mount dotnestio issues at a time
when what the country needs Is
"fewer laws and more freedom." ;
The abolition of special privilege,
Mr. McCurdy said, was the . issue
around which the new party would
appeal to the voters In November.
He said the party proposed effecting
that end through removing the
sources from which privilege derives
Its power. '
"To accomplish this purpose, he
declared, "it proposes public owner
ship of transportation and of th!
principal basic resources of the coun
try and declares that all land held
out of use for speculation should be
forced Into use by taxation.
"Consider the actual conditions un
der which we meet. After years of
secret slavery the republican party
and the democratic party come- into
the open and reveal themselves to
themselves and to the nation as
nothing but the right wing and the
left wing of the same bird of prey.
It la no longer possible for any one
even to pretend that there is any
difference or any Issue between
them. There Is not a word In either
of their platforms that might" not
have been written and unanimously
endorsed by a convention exclusively
composed of corporation lawyers and
Wall street bankers. The only dif
ference between these platforms, as
some one has remarked, is a differ
ence In the number of words used to
say nothing.
"Confronted by the gravest crisis
of civilization - they have demon
strated even to their own adherents,
that they are without the vision of
statesmanship, the courage of lead'
ership or the conviction of pa
triot Ism.
"The republican bid Is bold. It
reads out of its councils every man
and woman who ever stood for any
form of human rights; adopts a
platform that evades, equivocates or
straddles every living Issue: paves
the way for a war by which. In ex
change for the lives and treasures of
the people. Mexican oil shall be de
livered to the Interests: endorses the
iniamous Esch-Cummlns bill over
the protests of farmers, workers and
Informed citizens; and consistently

United States In the year 1420. a
proven, steady, wheel horse poli
tician, guaranteed to stand without
hitching, who learned all the poll-
tics he ever learned In the satisfac
tory and thorough school of Marcus

way back In the golden age marked
b7 the Standard Oil scandals. . Thus
stand the party of Abraham Lin
coln In the last days of Its decadent
faithlessness, naked and unashamed
in its servile service of a greedy plu
tocracy.
"The democratic bid Is more than
bold: It Is brazen. With mild reser
vations. It not only claims a partisan
credit, which belongs to the whole
nation, for fighting and winning the
war, but It declares that it admin
istered the conduct of that war
without the taint of seandal.
"And the ghosts of Hog Island, and
aircraft and shipbuilding and canton

routine matters are to be taken up'
and the mayor states that the coun
cil will doubtless consider the Issu
ance of $7000 In bonds for the pur
chase of the aviation site as ordered
by the residents at the recent elec
tion. The only objection that has
been made by the council to the Issu
ance of the bonds at this time Is that
they cannot be sold I- the open mar

chaser can be found to buy the bonis
at tbetr face value there Is no doubt
but that the aviation field will be

CHICAGO. July 10. Adoption of

which labor, non-part isuns and sym
pathizers with the "middle cla.ia"
union can agree will be the first tank
of the convention called by the com
mittee of forty-eight, which begati Its

That platform which will be used
by the resolutions committee as u

Louis. It advocates public owner
ship of transportation facilities and
certain other public utilities, taxa

the abolition of special privilege.
An effort will be made to obtain

Wrecked Forest
Plane Located
The forest patrol plane which was
forced down in the Lm;gua national
forest on Wednesday, landed on
Thorn flats, one-fourth mile north of
the old Bradley trail nnd one-half
mile south of Dread and Terror
mountain, according to word re
ceived today by Forest Supervisor
Ramsdell from Ranger Hunter, 'who
accompanied by Cadet Heycrs and
Observer Davis, returned to the
scene of the landing yesterday.
After reaching . the ground tho
plane ran for about 16 yards before
its none hit the brush and the ship
turned turtle. The landing waa
made In jackplue and thornbrusb
and the machine was not badly dam
aged, the framework being only
a'.-ghtly broken. The avln'ors main
tain that it is useless to attempt to
get the plane out. and advise that an
expedition be sent in to take out the
instruments and the more valuable
parts of the engine. Forestry offi
cials, however, believe thnt a partv
could be sent In to Diamond lake by
auto and as the trail from Diamond
lake to the scene of the landing Is
comparatively level and open. It Is

The presentations will take place
on Armistice Day in a series or si
multaneous ceremonies to bo held
under Legion auspices throughout
the world, making possible a stu
pendous celebration which Is dentin-
ed to ecllpae anything of tho kind
ever attempted before In the United

Americana ever participated and one
designed to live In history as an

more than 100,220 of our country

SKYLINEHIGHWAY
Survey Party to Leave Med.
ford Monday to Make the
Survey For Route.
TO FOLLOW THE SUMMIT
Planned to Build Itoad Along the
Summit of the Cascade Range
First Section from Diamond
ljke to .Mt. Jefferson,
Leo Engieo. of Peel, left today for
Haymaker ranger station in the Dia
mond lake, vicinity with a lurgo pacK
train and will serve as packer for a
party which Is to blaze out a trail
destined lo become the greatest
tci-nlc road in tho country, providing
the people of Oregon show sufficient
enthusiasm and interest to warrant
an expenditure for tho construction
of the road. The party will survey
what Id to be known as the "Oregon
skyline road." which starting at a
connection with tho John Day high
way near Diamond lake, will follow
tho summit of tho Cascade range,
touching all of the many points of
interest, and will constituto one of
tho moat scenic highways to bo found
in -the world. The plan was first
suggested by the State Chamber of
commerce and has been taken up by
tho forest service, which Is bearing
tho expense of the preliminary sur
vey.
Tho party will be In charge of
Fred Clayton, formerly supervisor of
the Colvtlle (Wash.) national forest,
hut who has since been appointed .o
a position in the district office lu
charge of recreational work. Mr.
Clayton has been giving a great deal
of attention to the location of sum
mer home sites, camping spots and
recreational centers In the forests. In
making this survey ho will chart all
nolnts of Interest near or on tne pro
posed highway and. will secure data
regarding scenic spots which would
prove of especial Interest to thoB
passing over the road. Engineer
Johnson, of the district office, and
Grazing Socialist Horton, together
with. Lee Entries, packer, a cook and
the temporary laborers,--will form
tho balance of the party. The for
estry department has agreed to pay
tho expense of the trip and has Is
sued Instructions regarding the
work.
The engineer has been ordered to
locate a route following the summit
as near as possible, nnd at the same
lime including all the greater scenic
attractions. No grades are to be
over ten per cent, and the length of
such grades are limited, and the
average grade is not to be moro thnn
five or six per cent. The party will
spend the entire summer between
Diamond Lake and Mt. Jefferson.
Tho entire route will he sttrveyi'
and a trail blared for the entire dis
tance. It Is planned to extend the
work during the following years un
til the plan has either been put thru
10 a successful consummation or else
nllowed to die because of lack of In
terest. From Haymaker meadows, the
John Day highway, which connects
up at DJamond lake with the Fort
Klamath road. Is to ho constructed
on a new location which will elimin
ate a number of small bridges and
stream crossings. From Diamond
lnke the "skyline" road will follow
the summit of the rnnge. skirting Mt.
Thellson and continuing north,
touching Summit lake. Crescent lake.
Odell lake. Waldo lake, together with
many small bodies of water, fishing
streams, snow capped mountains,
timbered canyons and open meadows.
Those who are acquainted with that
section of the forest say that the
road will not be as difficult of con
struction as one mlfht Imagine. The
country Is open and generally level.
11 is practically pit Jack pine and
open meadow land and the tvpe of
soil Is such thnt the construction of
a roadbed would not be difficult. It
would, of course, be necessnry to
skirt a'great many peaks, and conse
quently the road would be winding
but traversing as It does the mnt
scenic part of tho northwost It would
prove a great, attraction.
The cost of constructing this road
would very probably be borne on a
co-operative basts by the siaio aud
government. The route lies almof
wholly within the national forest and
consequently the government would
be willing to assist In the work. Its
comphtlion Is doubtless contingent
upon the action taken by congress on
the bills for road and highwny con
struction now being considered and
whether or not the plat.s for the
spending of irany millions of dollars
for road building are approved. At
'he present tliue the work Is all pre
liminary and is a part of Oregon's
nlan to attract the tourist travel of
the nation and build a system of
highwavs which will open and de
velop all of I he best territory In the
state.
The land to be traversed Includes
ome of the best grazing land to be
futind anywhere, and Mr. Horton.

be In a position to submit nceura'

Urge Amount of Foodstuffs
Going Through Local Post
Office to Germany.
SHIPPED TO CIVILIANS
Majority of tho Consignments go to
Civilians In and Around Cobteu
Territory With Little to Soldiers
Hugar Coffee and Raron Kent.
An unusual circumstance which
has aroused much Interest and spec
ulation locally of late. Is the linpotus
which tho shipping of food stuffs to
Germany has received within the
oast few months. According to the
Roseburg postofflce to some portion
clerks, scarcely a day passes but
what either a large or a small ship
ment of food la shipped through the
K seburg postofflce to some portion
of Oormany, where conditions at the
present time soem to be on a par with
'hose during the worst days or the
great war.
Although in some periodicals flat
tering reports can be read of the
large amounts of food In the con
quered country, enough to feed all of
'he populace, this seems impossible .
to many, especially those who have
relatives or friends In that country,
ind who receive appealing letters
ssking that food of any kind be sent
them nulckly. as it Is almost an Im
possibility for them to secure enough
food to keep Ifrom starving. .
The greatest amount shipped from
hero has gone In and around Coblnns
which Is occupied now by the Amer
ican Expeditionary forces. Although .
here are many soldiers there, It Is
noticeable that the greater part of
the shlnmonts go to civilians , and
very little nf It to soldiers. Only yes-
'erday at tho local postofflce a Rose
burg resident sent two sides of ba
con to relatives In Germany, stating
ss he did so, thnt Is was of no avail
'o send them money as food could
not ho bought.
The postofflce officials -In this
city received a bulletin some time ago
Instructing them bb to the restrict
ion! regarding food', shipments to
.Germany, This bulletin was Issued at
'he time" of the raising of the em
bargo. ,
Many reasons are being given as
o the causes for the lack of food In
Germany. It Is a known fact that at
'ho present time the Gcrmnn people
s.re on a bread ration exactly like
'hat of the days nf the war. and that
'f there (a anv (Inference the raMon
is amallor. This is laid to the fact
hat the German Industries are crip
pled oxtenslvoly and have not vet
returned to normal, and also that
'he transportation facilities are very
poor.
Among the classes of food which
"lave been snt Bra sugar, coffoe and

Also some so'p, eocoa and other
smaller nrtlclea. The packages aeet

beon set, and to clvllls. 011I7 11
