Rescue from reactions of the war
ni described as me iruutiocin
need of the Uulted States at this
time by Governor Coolldge. Ill an ad
dren delivered here today in fom
illy accepcing the republican vice-
niiidentlai noiiiiuaiiun.
Coolldge alleged that "the chief task
tefore the American public is to re
oueu the people of their govern
aent and property." He stated an
other source of gravest concern Is in
the "reactionary tendency lo substi
tute private wlll.for public will."
The apeake'r said there has also
been a disposition on the part of
jorae individuals and groups to ln
duire whether they liked the law,
and if not, to disregard It and pre
vent it execution by methods of di
rect action. "Observance of law," he
nid, "la the greatest slovent of pub
lic ills." He deplored the attempt to
create class distinctions. The scene
of formal notification took place on
Allen Field, a recreation ground of
Smith college. The platform was
only lrge enough to accommodate a
few distinguished guests In addition
to the speakers. Thousands were
present to witness the affair, and
Governor Coolldge heard lrom Gov
ernor Morrow, of Kentucky, the for
mal announcement of Lis nomination
"by the spontaneous wish" of the re
publican party. The Krntuckytan
said:
"This nomination Is tendered you
as the spontaneous wish - of your
party. The west called to the east.
The north and sotith heard th(i call
and (he nation made the answer."
Governor Morrow attacked tho
democratic national administration
for what he termed Its hesitation.
blundering and stubbornness, and
called the league of nations an at
tempt to bind the United States : to
the bloody feuds of Europe.
"It is fitting." Mr. Morrow said.
"that In Massachusetts at this foun
tain of American Inspiration, we sol
emnly determine that the heritage
mien made us free, independent and
prosperous, shall not be bartered for
a meas of unknown pottage." -
iou are called to sorvo your

IS IN GREAT DEMAND
Carl Ilerger wai First to Start Work
And is Now Shipping Out a Full
Carload of Bark to be Used
Vsr Medicinal lurpo.Hes
An industry which has been mak
ing rapid strides in this county and
which will, from present indications
assume much larger proportions, Is
the collection aud sale ot Cascara
bark. CaBcara is one of the princi
pal medicinal remedies used in the
Unitod States and the amount fur
nished for medicinal uses la amaz
ing. Until two years ago the large
crop in this county waR neglected,
and for many years has ben allowec
to go to waste, However, ltB collec
tlon has now become quite an In
dustry with a number of people and
considerable money will bo made ot
it this year.
Cnrl lterger Is responsible for the
prosent activity in this work. When
ho arrived In Roseburg several years
ago, Cascara bark waB allowed to go
to waste and no attempt was made
to collect and cure It. At first he
collected a small amount by himself
and then he employed others. 'Last
year and again this year the collec
tions have mounted Into tons aud
Indications are that the 1920 crop
will exceed all others by a great
amount.
Mr. Berger will ship out the first
iTull carload of Cascara bark to go
Ifrom Douglas county some time
this week, probably Friday. Ho has
gathered 14 tons, which will com
pletely fill a car and will ship it to
the eastern market from Roseburg.
The hark has been gathered and drt-
ed bv county

found the work exceedingly profit
lable. Conelnnd brothers, of O'ik'nn'1

I weeks of work, an average of over

! gatherers succeeded ln earning sums
equally as large.
Chittam wood grows in large
quantities in this vicinity. Although
many do not recognize It, It grows In
exceedng abundance along the banks
of the streams and In many other
places In Douglas county. At the Os-
norne rancn on. me norm umpqua
several tons were gathered and were
, cured for eastern markets.
Careless gathering Is rosulting In
many places in the destruction of
the trees and the supply Is becoming
less. As this is one df tho Important
medicinal remedies tho crop should
bn nroteeted and Instructions are
i M nrri (1 holng Issued to those who are tn

County Commissioner Anderson
Court House Case
To Be Appealed
KLAMATH FALLS, July 27.
Appeal to tho state supratue court
from the decision of Judrce Hamil
ton, of Roseburg. In the suit of .1. .M.
I Dougnn, as a co-partnership anil In
dividually, against Klamath county
and others, ln the action involving
jthe question of which courthouse
'shall be the county capltol, was filled
today In the circuit court by 0. F.
Stono, one of the counsel for tho
plaintiff.
In his decision Judge Hamilton
held that tho contract entered Into
by Dugnn for liuildlng a courthmipo
on Main street was Illegal and void.
The ground for appeal Is that the
doclslon Is not In conformity with
the law In the rase. In Its opinion
the court held that the contractor,
when notified to Btop work, should
have and might have stopped and
sought compensation from the cnun
ty for the amount duo on work then
performed. Plaintiff holds that the
contractor was barred from such
redress by the lnvolvent condition
of the county and the provision of
law that a judgement against a coun
ty is not valid or collectable when
the public debt exceeds $5,000. In
other words, that plaintiff had no
recourse but to complete the con
tract and endeavor to collect for the
completed job.
In the ordinary course of tho ap
peal It might rest upon the supreme
court calendar for a year or more
tieforo It would be reached in rou
tine, but it Is hoped, on account of
Us Importance, to have It advanced
on the calendar and get a bearing
within tho next 90 days, perhaps.
In a previous case the supremo court
doclded within 60 days after the
appeal was filed.
Pioneer Minister

to Bushuell, Illinois, when ho was a
small boy. During the civil war it
was his eager desire to enlist ln tho
service but was not permitted to d')
so until after ti 1b flfleeuth birthday.
Thus his fight for right against

wero numherod by hla acquaint
ances. Seven organizations and six
churches are some of tho results of
his ministry.
During tho early years of his work
there waa.no oilier Presbyterian min
ister between Eugene and Jackson
vllle.
This brave pioneer minister was
one among the great stale builders
of the west. Ho sowed well the seed
of Industry, education and deep faith
In Christ, and to us is left the great
privilege of reaping many of the
benelllg.
He organized the Roseburg church
and helped even to build, the first
building, aud for twenty years was

necting roads robbed many of thm
of the opporttinlty of seeing all the
wonders of the national playgrounds.
The ropd which I will map out
should enable tourists to make a
comfortable trip in a minimum
length of time, and will permit them
to visit nil the beauty spots ln the
government parks ln tho course of
ono summer tour."
'Mr. Westgard has laid out prac- .
tically all the leading trans-eonti-uental
routes, and many other
highways. He has crossed the coun
try 18 times east and west, and 30
timer north and south, in bis path
finding tours.
On his nineteenth trans-continental
trip Mr. Westgard Is using his nine
teenth car, a Westcott Lorger Six
: touring car. He carries with him a
complete camping outfit, and the
icar has been especially fitted up to
carry a large amount of traveling
supplies.
He Is accompanied by his wife and
son James, the latter a map maker
who Is preparing a map to be used
on the return trip. The caravan
which will leave Denver will ho com
posed of a great number of cars
occupied by representative bnBiness
men. The expense 1b being borne by
the association, which is promoting
this plnn and the entire rnuto will
bo covered. Mr. Westgard Is now
mnklng his plans and will pilot the
caravan over the Journey. Roseburg
will be an over night stop and stops
'or lunch will be at Grants Pass and
Eugene. '
Mr. Westgard Is confident that
this plan will assist greatly ln ad
advaming the National Highway
scheme.
"All tho government Is waiting
for", be Bnys, "Is to learn which
roads bear the greatest amount of
travel and which should bo taken
over. If we can link up a large
number of roads, .tapping and con
necting the National parks and at
'he Bamo time serving to accomo
date the farmers and growers of all
"ommunlties, then there is no doubt
but that when the Federal Highway
bill In adopted, these roads will bo
taken over and made permanent by
tho govornment."
