ANXIOUS TO START TILLER-TRAIL ROAO Delegation Appears" Before ' County Court Today With New Agreement. APPROPRIATIONS ASKED If Money Is Available Construction Work Will Be Started the First Week in September Says Forest Supervisor. Ed Renfro, Amos Buker, I. J. Nor man, J. I. Roach and W. S. Norman, residents of Tiller and Forest Super visor Ramsdell appeared before the Douglas county court at two ociock this afternoon for the purpose of reaching some agreement concern ing the construction and financing of the Tiller-Trail road to Crarer Lake in Douglas county. A new agreement to supplement the old one drawn up in 1919 was presented to the court for their consideration and in the event the finances of the county will permit, it is thought that an appropriation will be mane in order that the work may be start ed this summer. The agreement orovldes for six miles of construction and 9 miles of betterment of the road which will take it to the Douglas county line. The Crater forest reserve will then put the road from the line to Trail In a passable condition for automo bile traffic. The location of the survey, including the old agreement provides for the sum ot siuu.uuu. The county and state is to furnish 66 2-3 per cent and the federal government to handle the remain ing' aa 1-3 ner cent. The county and state has already made an appropriation of $21,870 which leaves $11,463 to meet the new agreement for the entire piece of work.

NEVER BEEN BETTER Financial Interests of Country Optimistic and Backing Legitimate Industries. CROPS BRING WEALTH Normal Conditions Relieved to U-turning Apprehension of Uie Dig Strike Removed lty 1C It. Award Recently. Ho SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6. (Spe cial to News-Review.) The most in erestlng feature In the stock market last month was the railroad wage award, whihe was anxiously awaited, but when announced, there was so much uncertaiuty about Us accept ance by hallway employees that In vestors hesitated while waiting to learn what action would be taken by the labor unions. The fear of a strike was dispelled by the firm belief that It would not be annroved liv Duhlic .sentiment. land there was an underlying note ot confidence In the way Wall Street looked at the outcome. The credit situation has become very serious, but a market in strong hands is able to reason calmly, as it is not swayed by sentimental coiisid- frations and is usually disposed to look at things from a sane and sen slble viewpoint. The crops are all right, the rail iroad situation is Improving, and money will no doubt be plentiful for all legitimate purposes. Toward the end of the month there) was a .'decided weakness In foreign exchanges, which are again unsettled owing to the increased ser iousness of European troubles. This tad a depressing effect on the mar- ket as people were not Inclined to nut much money In stocks Under the prevailing conditions. ( it 13 a historical fact, during pres idential years that the stock market has been In tho habit of making its low price during the month of July and the hlgn price Just before elec tion in November. Whether this, is to be the case this year or not re mains to be seen, but the heaviness In stocks at present would indicate that this year will be no exception to the rule. 1 Crons are beginning to move and things are gradually adjusting them selves to a normal -condition that spells prosperity for the nation, ns ho wave of extravagant spending, which has been sweeping the country recedes, and it becomes evident that within a few months those who are lirgcly responsible for our present difficulties, will be retired from of fice to private life, where tney will be comparatively harmless. TheJ most important evont that orenrred In the railroad world the past month was the decision ot mo Railway Board of Appeals to award the railroad employees a wage In crease of $600,000,000 to meet pres- nt living conditions. This adds approximately 21 per cent to me present payrolls of the railroad com panies, and in order to provide tho additional revenue necessary to meet this Increase In operating expenses, the railroad executives propose to advance passenger and excess bg bage rates 20 per cent, and frelirht rates 9.13 per cent In addition to the 27.6 per cent Increase in rrelgnt rates previously proposed. It Is estimated that the Interstnf Commerce Commission will render 1 decision within the next ten days hnd if they authorize the proposed advance In rates In order to mane Un the wage Increase and allow proper return to railway Investors. hr, existing freight rates will be result that the nalton's freight bill be Increased approximately $1,3"0. 000.000 annually. In addition to an increase ot $240,000,000 In pas senger revenue. The burden of the Increased cost cf operation, occasioned bv the wage toward will be borne by the general public, and no doubt borne patient ly, if. by that means, the condition nf unrest among railway employees that has prevailed so long, is thereby terminated, and a disposition snonn fair them to aceer' the award as a fair and Just settlement of the wage controversy, which we firmly believe It to be under circumstances. If tallwav employees who have heretofore failed to render efficient nrvlre on the plea that they were iinder-paid will now devote all their energies io increasing the operating efficiency of the railroads, we may ,.nnrirtentlv expect a marKeo lm provement In the transportation sys tem of the country to the great benefit of every cosiness miersi. as well as investors in railroad storks. Rerarrflesa of which r"rt win- out In the presidential election this fall, highway development, so essen tia! to the successful operation of motor trucks, will be flontinu.d, a loth the republican and democratic platforms go squarely on record In favor of liberal federal appropria tions In cooperation with tho states for the construction of highways; moreover, both the republican aim democratic nominees have expressed themselves strongly In favor of the establishment and maintenance of a good roads system throughout the country , suited to the use of mod ern motor vehicles. According to the latest authentic reports, the condition of crops in the twelfth federal reserve district, as compared with one month ago, re mains unchanged, as the Improved tlook for spring sown grains In the Pacific Northwest and Inter- mountaln regions, has been offset bv damage from hot winds and rains fin some sections of California.

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A10Y RIDE" Midnight Carousals Respon sible for Downfall of Young Girls of the Community. ' 1 CARS PARKED ON ROAD Sensational Disclosures Made at Hearing Meld Last Evening be fore Committee Woman aiul Two Daughters Testify. Sensational to the last degree wa the hearing of the case of Edgar Shanks, local jltneur, charged with using his car for Immoral purposes, held before the health and police committee of the city council last evening. A great deal of the testi mony is unprintable. Owing to the fact that not all of the witnesses were present last evening the com mittee decided to adjourn until later In the week when additional testi mony concerning the affair will bo introduced. The prosecuting witnesses In the case last evening were Mrs. M. F. Swanson and her two daughters, Ruth and Mabel. The two girls claim their ages to be 15 and 18 years, and their stories as related to the council last evening were start ling and will no doubt result In a thorough Investigation or neaitn ana moral conditions In the city of Rose burg. They charged Shanks with having represented himself as a single man and ot taking them on "ioy rides upon several different occasions. Their actions on each of these trips were told to the commit tee ond they bared the entire affair snaring no details and one nf the girls testified that sho was amicteo with a social disease. They staled that Shanks had been with them manv times and had always used his 76 lltney car for the escapades. "I first met him at a country dance," said one of the glrla In the case, "and he made a dMe wiih me for the following Wednesday nlcht We went riding that night and did not return home until qulto late." When'questloned by City Attorney Wlmberly as to their nrtlonr on in. first eight, she replied tha she wa3 forced to submit to a compromise without her consent. Shanks was then given an oppor tunity to ask questions of the prose cuting parties. He demanded fo know the exact dates of all thr. "joy rides" alleged to have been tnken by the two girls. They were unable to furnish this Information but slated that with tho assistance of another man who was with the party at the time they could probably give the approximate time. "I deny ever having been with these two girls," said Shanks. "They have never been in my enr and I only know them when I see them on the street. Neither nave 1 ever nan any Immoral relations with them. In fiet I have not been engaged In the lilney business during the month of July, a.s my license expired. I de mand that they give the exact dates of these rides they speak or. Miss Agnes Pitchford. county Juve nile officer, asked the defendant Shanks several questions concerning his actions as Jitney driver In this city. The testimony at the Investigation last night , was repulsive and will probably serve as an "eye opener" to the real state of affairs In this com munity. That a most deplorable con dition exists among many boys and girls of tender age In this city and niirhllv enrousals wherein the "iov rlHrs" seek 'recreation" along the roadway until early morning hours, Is a well known feet to the officers. A survey of Iho roadways leading ,ir. I'v. f Vsvm. ritv. V". w. week gives mute evidence of the foundation laid for tho downiaii ana ultimate ruin of young girls. At convenient spots automobiles can be seen parked frr the night and for no other reason than to carry on this traffic. Juvenile delinquency In thlr com munity Is reaching astonishing pro portions and unless a concerted ef fort la made to check the wayward uindencies of many of younger set who persist In creating this state of affairs there will certainly be a day of reckoning In the near future.

PRODUCTION IS SMALL Are Making Heavy Hire InlMrts From Jndlo-Clilna Hut Opera tion Is Costly One line - People to Kut liess Food. (Ily AsstM'iuted Press.) TOKIO, Aug. 6. The gravity of the food question In Europe finds Its echo in Japan where the pro blem of how to feed the population which is Increasing urinually by 600,000, Is becoming yearly more pressing. Japan has ample living space for rice. Every bit of land Is cultivated to the limit of its capacity. The land of Formosa, the Island colony, is worked to Its full capacity by the two million Chinese farmers who cultivate the rice fields with great skill. In Korea, also, the grain harvest Is considerable, though the failure of the Koreans to use fer tilizers prevents greater harvests. To miet (he food menace, Japan, by a special urrangenient with France, is making heavy rice Im ports from lndo-Chlna. This Is i costly operation, however, the Ja nmes'e government losing $20,000, ono last year In supplying lndo Chlna rice lo the Japanese people at a inoilerato price. A solution to which the govern ment Is turning Its attention Ir that of inducing tho people to ent less rice and more wheat because of the great wheat fields of Man churia which would be ample as n food supply, if tho people eat wheat Tho enormous output of Mnnchurld is handled by the South Manchuria railway which at the same time transports yearly some 300,000 Chinese coolies from Shantung pro vince to .Muuchurn. whore Ihuy la bor In the rice lands of the noitli- ern province.

INFECTED ORCHARDS IVIAY BEDESTROYED District Attorney Neuner Asks Ruling From Atty. General On the Question. ALL TO BE ERADICATED County Frut Insiiector Armstrong Can Serve Owners With Notice Ami Destroy or Treat All Orchards Invested. There are several non-resident owners of Infested orchards within Douglas county, wbo have apparent ly neglected their holdings and allowed them to become a menace to adjoining orchard?, and County Fruit Insiiector Armstrong has re quested an opinion from District At torney Neuner as to the method of proceure against persons not within reach of personal service ot notice to eradicate these pests or treat the orchards bo as to prevent thein from becoming public nuisances under the law. The statutes In such cases are somewhat contradictory, and there fore the District Attorney Imme diately communicated with the At torney General, requesting an opin ion as to the authority ot county officers to proceed to eradicate and destroy the insects or pests or treat the diseased trees or orchards. The District Attorney received the fol lowing opinion from the Attorney General: 'It Is my opinion that under the provisions of Sec. 5487 Lord's Ore gou Laws, as amended by Chapter 331 Laws of 1919, that an infested orchard constitutes a public nuis ance and may be abated summarily or after notice. Where notice can lie served as provided by the statute mentioned, you should do so, as II Is very doubtful wholnor a lien would be valid for the expense In curred where notice could have been served and was not. Where the nuisance existed upon the property of a non-resident, or any properly not ih the possession of any person and the owner or owners- of which cannot be found by tne resiauni member of the Board, or the state or County Inspector, after diligent Hearch within tho county In wnicn such nuisance exists, the nuisance may be abated without serving no lice." In commenting on the matter yes terday, District Attorney Neuner said thore Is nothing now that will prevent tho County Frut inspector from proceeding with eradication of the Infested orchards. They are by law declared to be public nu s ances and can be abated summarily, either by removing the orchard or treating it. While the cost thereof would be originally paid by the conty, yet it can bo made a lien against the Infosted orchard, nni If not paid within the time roqulred by law, tho same can bo foreclosed and made a k hargo against ,tho ,land. This greatly expedites ninttera and will now rlace the proper authori ties In a position to remove these nuisances that are threatening all adjoining orchards. District Attorney Neuner further stated that If any person within Douglas County Is aware of the whereabouts or knows the address of any non-resident owner, they will confer a favor upon his office If they will notify cither that office or the County Fruit Inspector, Mr. Armstrong; or If any person knows ,.f nnv orrhnrd renuiritig attention owned by a non-resident or other perron that might not oe aous upon it. they would also confer a favor by letting Mr. Armstrong know , the whereabouts of such , , . vyx t( x i. -' operation and support of all per sons who are Interested and wish to eradicate and destroy tho Insects and pots that are now threatening ninny adjoining orrhards.
