Papers Delivered By Plane Today Oakland and Sutherlin subscribers to the News-Review 'received their copies of today'! edition this after- fnoon about 16 minutes after they were printed. The first newspaper airplane delivery started from here shortly after 1 o'clock. Lieutenant Ayera and Manager Alrich had the plane all tuned up and ready to go when Bert Bates arrived at the North Roaeburg field with the two bundles or papers for the north Douglaa towns. The representative of the News-Review climbed Into the forward cockpit and shortly after wards the plane waa speeding north. When the ship arrived over Suther lin, a few minutes later. Postmaster Hayner ot that city was standing in the middle of the street watching for his "package from the sky." The bundle was heaved overboard and with a wide circle the Journey to Oakland was started. Quicker than a wink the landing was made at Oakland and the papers delivered to Postmaster Mahoney of that placo. The Sutherlin and Oakland subscrib ers received their papers before any one else in the county. This latest stunt shows beyond a doubt the practicability of the airplane for commercial usage. The News-Review Is hoping at some future date to es tablish a daily delivery service with a plane to every section of the coun ty- U J.L To be Married , In Seattle Wed. Miss Marion Hopkins, daughter of Attorney and Mrs. C. F. Hopkins, of this city, will be married in Seattle on Wednesday, August 25. to Roy Peck, of Stockton, California. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. E. H. Hicks, formerly pastor of the local Baptist church, who now has a pastorate at Seattle. Mrs. Hopkins, who Is visiting with her daughters In Seattle, will be present at the wed ding. Miss Hopkins spent several years in Roseburg but recently has been employed aa bookkeeper for the Stearns-Hollingshead company ot Portland, where she held a very re sponsible position. Mr. Peck Is a prominent business man of Stockton. During the war he served with the navy, being In active service for over two yeara. Immediately following the ceremony they will go to Stock ton to make their home. General Desire to Delay Opening Quite a number of inquiries have been received at this office from lo cal residents In reference to the opening date of the Roseburg schools which has been set tor September 13. Because of the shortage of farm la bor, many children of school age are being employed at light farm work and with the fruit coming on there appears to be a desire to postpone the opening of the schools as long as possible in order to give the children an opportunity to help harvest the crops of the county. High prices are being paid for this service and the fruit men need all the help available for the next few weeks. Last year It was necessary to put the manual training department of the high school Into the apple orchards to as sist In making boxes In order to save the apple crop. This year the situa tion is even more critical than last year. Many believe that the 13th Is too early to open the schools under the present circumstances. It Is a certainty that many children will not be able to start school at that time as their service! are badly needed for the harvest. Likewise It is true that ir.ony are earning sufficient money to put them through school and they will desire to remain at their work until the harvest season Is past the rUBh period. This matter has been dlscussesd with the mem bers of the school boaru and will probably be given consideration at the meeting to be held this evening, o Prof. Aubrey O. Smith leaves to night for Medford, where he will take tip his duties as city school superintendent Prof. Smith, resign ed the superlntendency of the Rose burg schools to accept a place as principal ot the Eugene high school. H later resigned there after being offered the super-tendency at Med ITord at a greatly advanced salary. Hla family will remain tn Roseburg for several weeks during which time he will secure a house In which to reside tor the winter. I COMMISSION IS -DOING FINE WORK Just Criticism is Beneficial But Co-operation Should Also Be Given WORK BEING HURRIED County Judte Says Highway Coin- mission Should be Commended Instead of Criticized for Work on the Pacific Highway. Much criticism has been directed in the past by some persons through some motive or other agaiuBt the policy of the state bifthway commis sion In the construction of the Pa clnio highway through Douglas county and other counties in the state. The county officers have re peatedly endeavored to ascertain the course of this criticism, which In some Instances has been attributed to them. Therefore the News-Review has interviewed several persons in an endeavor to ascertain . the source thereof. The first one to be Inter viewed was Oeorgfi Neunor, Jr., president of the Chamber of Coui- nerce, who said: "Unjust criticism does no one any good. Just criticism Is always bene ficial. The state highway commis sion Is doing a wonderful work in Douglas county at the present time, and I can see no ground for any criticism. One need only travel south from Roseburg over the wonderful highway now in course of construc tion to realize how great a work it Is doing. Within only a short time the macadam road will be at the city boundary. South from Vlnston9 bridge one can travel over the paved highway to Ruckles. It is certainly wonderful piece of work. Going south from Cauyonville one again reaches the work which stands as a monument to the commission, that Is, the construction of the highway through Canyon creek, which has been a peril and a source of worry to the weary traveler, to say nothing of the local people and farmers who are required to UBe this highway. With Its beautiful grades and the ma cadam placed thereon, it Is a ploaa ure to drive over it. "The Tiller project, which the commission has , carefully Investi gated before placing any state money thereon, Is another progressive move ment. It places the Umpqua valley and all that part of Oregon north, 66 miles nearer to eastern Oregon, to say nothing about the local use this road will have when constructed. 'Then there Is the Roseburg- Myrtle Point project, which is being prosecuted with all diligence, In or der that the hazardous mountain road may be eliminated and replaced with a modern highway. Having the highway at our gates, it is up to the people of Roseburg to see that it Is connected with our paved streets. The highway commission have done their part. "I am sure tne road north will be graded and macadam placed thereon before fall. Therefore, we should be patient. The Job is a big task and Douglas county is only one small county In which the commis sion is operating. The people of our county should be thankful for the wonderful results, and co-operate in every way possible with the state highway commission, and further than that, they should urge upon the commission to dispose of the bonds, even if at S small sacrifice, In order that the work It has started may be prosecuted to final completion at the earliest possible date." County Judge Stewart when inter viewed regarding the progress of the road construction by the state high way commission, said: "The state highway commission is doing nicely and progressing rapidly with the work on the Pacific high way. I cannot see any cause for criticism. In fact. I think they should be commended for their work. Every assurance Is given that the highway will be in shape for travel before the wet weather this fall, and couth of town before the fruit will he ready to be transported over it. This Is very gratifying to me. The only thing I regret Is that the county finances are such that the court Is unable to meet the demands of the commission In acquiring rights of way ami doing their part, and the fact that the commission Is being hindered from progressing more rap Idly because of this. t Unless the vot ers make some provision whereby these funds can be derived, the court Is helpless under the law to comply mj. .... ivjMt-.:? .Ji-.itk-v way commission. I Uave always been given splendid co-operation by the state highway commission, and everything that has gone forward from my office has been given con sideration by them. The undertak ing Is of considerable magnitude, and it stands to reason that they are un able to go upon a hlghwny and con struct It In a Bhort time, at the uame time leaving the road open for travel. People should take this fact Into consideration and realize inw, good the commission Is doing for Douglas county. We will all enjoy the work In the end." y Both ot these county officials aro greatly pleaved with the progress be ing made, and as they are In a posi tion to Know an tne tacia incident 10 road construction in the county, their opinion must carry a great deal of weight. It la believed that the ma jority of the citizens of the county see as they do in this niattor and that the only proper course 1b one of 'co operation, j EDEXBOWEK LADY D1F-S.1 Mrs. Deleska A. Johnston, of Rrien bower, who passed away yestirdny, will be burled tomorrow at the! Ma sonic cemetery. Mrs. Johnston was 63 years of age at the time of her death and Is survived by her hus band, M. F. Johnston. The ftneial services will be held at 2 o'clock to morrow afternoon at the chapel of the Roseburg undertaking parlors, with Rev.

Roosevelt, democratic candidate for vice-president of the United States would he a passeniiger on the south bound train (occasioned the assembling of several hundred peo ple at the S. P. depot in this city at nine o'clock . Sunday morning. The distinguished visitor was in troduced by Hon. i O. P. Coshow, who met the train at Oakland. Mr. Roosevelt greeted Jthe assemblage with his noted "million vole" smile and assured- his bearers that he was not going to make a political address on Sunday. He very pleas antly told a brief story pertaining to the development of America and Americanism. Although ' he had visited Oregon on previous occas ions he thought the best way to get acquainted with the people off this country Is to vIbH each one ot the 48 states. His brief talk was made from a baggage truck 'nd at the conclus ion he stepped down and cordially greeted everyone who came forward to shake hands. Standing about 6 feet 2 Inches, he towers above the average crowd in stature and he has the faculty of making everyone feet at ease In his presence. Mr. Roosevelt Is accompanied on this tour by R. F.

In con versation with Ifrlends here Dr. Mor row emphatically expressed his be lief that Cox and Roosevelt will carry Oregon In the November elec tion. Mr. Roosevelt spoke In Portland Saturday night, after a tour of the state of Washington. He will speak In San Francisco tonight. It is ex pected that Governor Cox will visit Oregon in October. PROSE POET "UP IN THE AIR" Mrs. I, A. Dean, 60 years old. winner of the first prize of the News-Review essay contest, arrived In Roseburg Saturday from her home In Riddle, and called at the newspaper office Immediately for 4 her ticket entitling her to a trip among the clouds. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon she was soaring above the city, and according tn her own story, was "enjoying every minute of It." She tells her experience in her Inimitable Btyle as follows: tV IV THE Ant. By Mrs. I. A. Denn.

You see the purty valley with the hills all snugglln' 'round; and you're apt to be surprised to note the bigness of your town. I watched the silver river twlstin,' wlndln' through It all the "Lizzies" scootln' dq,wn the streets, a-lookln' mighty small.

POLES MUST DE FEAT BOLSHEVIKI Hungary Statesmen Fearful of Consequenses if Such is Not The Case WOULD FACE A CRISIS Bolshevik! Propaganda Is an Enemy to All Countries, Not Excepting the United States,. Says Jlegent of Hun gar)-. Rr AMtHate4 Prtes. BUDAPEST. Aug. 23 Hungary's statesmen are fearful of the conse quences If the Bolshevikl crush Po land. Admiral Nicholas Horthy. Regent of Hungary, when seen at his palace office by the Associated Press correspondent, said on that BUbJect: "Should Poland collapse, Europe would have to face a serious crisis, since all International order and standing power dt Central Europe has been shaken by the breakdown after five years ot war and by the crushing peace treaty in addition to other evils In the wake ot war. The treaties dictated by the Allies were unable to create order and tran quillity, on the contrary, all our evils grew more acute nd all pain ful problems, on the way of solu tion more or less In the past, face us grimly like ai many sphinxes. Central Europe Is a volcano sifter the eruption, still covered with the smoke, and we cannot see a:.y re assuring sign as yet to avert dan gers lurking la the future : above Europe. ... "I am informed about the prepar ations off the Bolshevists. These preparations are not of a recent date and It Is not exclusively Hun gary they are related to. Bolshe vistic propaganda is an enemy of all countries not accepting tne princi ples of the Third International, trying to spread Its doctrines in the United States and Canada just as well as In Hungary. . The most dangorouB means of all bolshevistic offensives is just the propaganda and from that view. .point there was not a single mom ent's cessation in the bolshevistic offensive against Hungary. On tho 'contrary It maintains a feverish ac tivity against- us by the means df , tbe Hungarian communistic fugit ives in Vienna aided with Russian money. It is a pity that In many vt es'ern countries people do not realize the dangers and the means of the bolshovlst propaganda. . "The relation of Hungary to her neighbors depends solely upon how our neighbors wish to establish it toward us. It is in their interest that the treaty has been forced on us by the Allies, so that is the duty to start netter relations. Although It Is much easier for them to do that, unhappily they show very few siirns of their Intentions to that ef fect tip to the present. They con tinue their Intolerable attitude to ward Hungary living on territories severed from Hungary. "Day by day Ifor 18 months our people have been fleeing from the occupied territories and our rail road terminals are not large enouRh to sholter the railroad cars they are living in. These persecuted fam Ifies, of course, are strong advocates of an Irredentist propaganda. If onr neighbors have a really serious Intention to Improve general sent! ment toward us, they have to make it possible, first of all, for those fellow countrymen dr ours to return home. They have t. atop persecu tions, so' that even on that most unfortunate spot of Europe there should he open for everybody a chance to make a living comp.-itlble with human dignity. It would be of u first rate Importance to have off net od that improvement in public sentiment, as a preliminary condi tion to the resumption ot economic connections, "The misery of the people df these territories ot the former Au-stro-Hungarlan monarchy, a com pact economical territory in the past, is due mainly to tho (act, that all the natural, economic ties are cut and they are bolng forced into tho most unnatural connections. We quota as an instance, the salt sup ply of the country, which commo dity could be procured from tbe mines a few kilometres distant from the present boundary line in Mar maros. In spite of all that we are obliged to supply our needs in salt from Germany. That unnatural or der ot things Increases enormously the cost of living and paralyses all production." o Deer Destroying. Carnes Orchards 'Three orchards In the Carnes district have been partially destroy ed by deer", stated county fruit inspector Armstrong last Saturday. "The animals have eaten tho fruit and leaves from the trees and wo are at loss to remedy the nuisance. One young orch.ml has been hope lessly ruined. Tho (leer come to that district in herds Nand have chewed all the tops off from the young trees. Last week the state game warden made a. trip to that section from Portland on request dt tbe orchadlsts and myself and al though he made no statement re garding stops to be taken as a pre ventative against any further loss, 1 am Bure that some order will be forthcoming In the near future from his office." Several other orchards have been Invaded by deer, also ac cording to reports from the orchard- ists and owing to the fact that It is against the law to kill them at this lime df the year, the fruit men are. "up In arms" and demanding the right to protect tholr proporty from the fleet footed animals. Championship to BS Decided A heated game of base ball Is expected at the west side diamond tomorrow evening, when the Baptist and tho Presbyterian teams- of the twilight league meet to decide the championship. The ciirlstlnlis have been decisively retired to the cel lar position and the top place now lies between the Presbyterians and Baptists, both being tied for this position wllh six games won and five games lost. Ritzman, who has been occupying tho mound for the Baptists with great success through out the season, will again be In the pltchor s box, while Street "the un hltable" will perform the barrage act for the Presbyterians. Th.s gnme will undoubtedly be the best of the entire senson. Both teams are ready ifor o-narri fight and are determined to win.

I T Newly Appointed Freight and Passenger Agent in District Spends Day in City. PAYROLL HERE LARGE Southern Paclfto Puts More Than Million Dollars Into Roseursj Each Year According; to the Lntost Figures. Ingram T. Sparks, of Eugene, dis trict freight and passenger agent Ifor the Southern Pacific railroad. spent the day In Roseburg investi gating the matter of the construc tion of a spur track for the A. Ru pert cannery on Spruce and Wash ington streets. He was In confer ence with E. M. Burns, third vice- president of the cannery company and O. B. Misz, civil engineer for the railroad. Mr. Sparks states that tho construction was epproved by both sides and that without a doubt the spur will be built aa soon as possible. Mr. Sparks was recently trans ferred to this district from El Cen-. tro, California, where he waa in charge ot tbe Imperial Yuma and Coachella valley sections. He now has charge df the work between the California line and Eugene and the Coos Bay ranch. As freight and passenger agent he works with the local employees and gives particu lar attention to the development of the sections traversed by the rail road. In 1917, Mr. Sparks states. when the Southern Pacific started development work In the Imperial Valley, that section produced about (.13,000,000 worth of crops. The rullroad dompany cooperated with various commercial organisation! and succeeded in inirei-iin; t amount of produce to a valuation o! (86,000,000. This was done thru st ructlve ' development. "It Is our purpose to build up a community In its agricultural and Industrinl life", says Mr. Sparks. "It Is as much to our Interest to de velnpe a community as It Is to the residents' of that particular section. Every now pound ot produce that Is shipped over our road Increases our business that much. For that reason we want to work with the organization now poitfurmlng the development work In each commun ity. "Tho railroad Is a big asset lo Rosourg. The monthly payroll runs over $80,000 In this city. That means- $960,000 a year, almost $1,000,000. In taxes this year we are paying Into tbe Douglas county treasury the sum of $146,620.'19. That makes our complete expendi ture In Roseburg. $1,106,620.19. We Intend to spend more mouey In Roseburg and we expect Roseburg to spend more money with us. Rose burg will not do that, however, un til the agricultural Industries are enlarged, until there Is a greater amount of, produce rought Into the city for railroad transportation. "To me It appears that Roseburg Is entering upon an era of growth and prosperity. Facilities for car ing for your great fruit crop have been arranged. Thit means that the fruit industry 'Is to be enlarged. The latest methods in farming are being Introduced on your farms and the use cK mechanical dovtces is making the farm work more effi cient. Is solving the labor problem d at Ihn sime time Increasing the acreaeo In cultivation. The com munity is awakening to tho need of factories, to the need of greater payrolls. When people awake to their needs that need Is soon filed." Mr. Sparks Is now making his headquarters at, Eugene, as his of flce lhre Is centrally located In his territory. Ho or his assistant will tie In Rosehurir at least once each week to assist in the movement of freight from this district. He Is nnxlous to oblnm the cooperation -and assistance of the local develop ment organizations and promises his nipport nnd aid In any undertaking for tho betterment of the commun ity. He returns to Eugene tonight to' report to the head office the ad vislbllliy of the construction of the dlslred spur track to accomodate the local cannery. c Two Police Killed fir AiMHatarf Tress-.
