Judge D. J. Stewart, chairman of

order and explained the purpose of
u (tillering. Without further de
li; bo Introduced Prof. H. D. Scud
ir. of the Oregon Agricultural col
itis, and representative of the land
vtuemeDt commission. Prof. Scud-
itr stated that he bad spent the past
three weeks in Douglas county look-
on over oites which might be select
el u land typical of the soil and
Kiditioru existing here and which
unlit be of value to the slate com
nluioo as a "model farm." He said
laat be had discovered that two
Up of farms were situated in this
nutty. One was the river bottom
Ope and the other the creek land.
Iteordlnr to Prof. Scudder, the bot
tom land needs no demontsration, as
aoadreds of farmers are at the pres
ent time making a success on that
trot of soil. He further stated, how-
eter. that the creek bottom was the
trps which should be used for dem
onstration purposes. He found sev
eral (arms which were suitable but
were located too far from the city of
Roieborr. Finally he was shown the
talr rounds, and after a careful ex
amination ot the land, found that it
ai an Ideal spot for the model
farm. AH of the different grades of
oil were found there and its location
wai more than suitable.
"The reason the state decided lo

Prof. Scudder. "is to actually show

He was a.
plause.
J. H. Booth was given the floor
following the Judge, and In a short
but fln talk urged the stockholders
to sell the site to the land commis
sion. He aald that the city council
baa had a better park site offored in
L'mpqua Park addition If they would
only go aneaa ana ouua the brldgo.
Mr. Booth's remarks occasioned ap
plause and the movement favoring
model farm vs. park site was grad
ually gatnertng momentum
Senator B. I Eddy, one of those
active In securing the appropriation
for the five model farms in the state
at the legislature, addressed the
meeting and spoke of the advantages
of having such a farm located uear
Roseburg. He recalled some city
history which was very Interesting.
At one time," be said, "a number
of the cltlxens presented the city
council with a petition asking that a
permit be granted to construct iron
sheds In this city where the farmers
could place their teams, wagons and
autos when they drove to this city to
spend the day on business. We as
sured the council that it would be
made fireproof and asked that a sec
tion of the fire ordinance be modified
In order that the sheds could be
built. In spite of the well-signed
petition and the-pleaa of hundreds of
farmers, the city eouncll sat fast in
their seatB and said, 'No, we won't
let you . build , those sheds.' That
same altitude T evident right bow.
They are atmpt attempting to block
the establishment of a model farm
by the resolution adopted- at' ' their
session providing for the purchase of
the grounds as a fair site. For tho
past ten years they have been talking
park, and as yet no action has been
taken. These grounds have been
idle all this time and now the city
council has the idle dream that th'.-y
may some day want to build a park
there. The people want the park
on the TJmpqua river, where they can
go. on these hot" days and bathe, en
Joy boating and get the benefit of
the river breeze. Do you suppose
they want to go to the fair grounds,
situated ln a pocket as It Is, .and
spend the dayf Not much, and tho
city council knows It"
The applause at the conclusion of
his tal was deafening and the few
present representing the opposition
starten to squirm in their seats.
Mayor Walter Hamilton, who was
the leader of the opposing forces,
next took the floor and asked that
the grounds be sold to the city for a
park. "Yes, I know the Umpqua Is
good place, for a park, but we want
two of mem. This model farm Is not
permanent proposition. It will be
sold within a few years and we will
have nothing."
The mayor had very few points to
make and after a few minutes on the
floor, be , took his seat. He was
greeted by dead silence, which was
Indicative of the sentiment against
hiB plan.
A free for all argument then took
place in which Al C reason, of the
opposition, took the floor and de
manded an explanation of the cheap
purchase price and several other
points. Mr. Boise and Prof. Scudder
answered all the questions asked by
Mr. Creason, and the majority of tha
stockholders chimed ln with" that
satisfies us."
Mayor Hamilton then took the
floor and with hat In hand said,
Well, if this was put to a vote of
the city, there wonidn't be fifty peo
ple that would favor a model farm."
With those words he left the room.
Judge Hamilton then Introduced a
resolution asking tbat the fair
grounds be sold for model farm. A
vote was taken and the majority in
favor It It was overwhelmingly
large.
The general concensus of opinion
In the city favors the model farm.
Interviews with all of the prominent
business men of Roseburg revealed
that fact, and the action taken last
evening by the stockholders will
meet with the unqualified approval of
nearly every resident of Douglas
county.

mitteemen, Representative Hare

present to set forth the evidence
igaliiBt members of the ex-state fish

Chairman Sean, Representative
Cross and Senator Norblad, the
other legislators on the committee,
held that all controversies it bad
been Intended to take up, had au
tomatically been settled by reer
anizatlon of the commission and
that hearing of Price's statements
would mead a rehashing of dead Is
sues. They declined to consider
any matters which have transpirl
since the committee was appointed.
Fifteen charges were set forth in
Price's letter, which also related
what took place at last weeks
meeting. He further said, he "sin
cerely believes that the future of

Oregon Is Imperiled by the conduct
ot the fish and game commission,
and that action should be taken for
the preservation thereof Hor the peo
ple of the state."

both commercial and game I'Ish
were depleted for want of protec

for the first place. Only five Inn
ings could be played on- account of
darkness, and at the end ot that
time, the score was a tie, being one
to one. Tho Presbyterians made
thelrr in tho very Iflrst inning.
Goodman first up made a clean hit,
and wandered around through err
ors and came home on Throno's hit.
That was all the chance they had.
Thoy never had a look-In after the
first, being unable to connect with
Rltzman. Tne Baptist made thoir
run on errors. In the second Inn

Commenting on the Instructions
of ' Robert C. Saunders, United
States attorney ot 8eattle, to pro
hibition agents to make no raids on
private residences unless they bad
absolute proof that unlawful sales
were being made, Untied States At
torney Humphreys' ot Portland de
clared yesterday that the arm of the
federal government was not very
effective agtlnat the home brewer,
but tbat be could be reached easily
under state laws df Oregon.
State Art Ironclad.
Earl F. BernarH, deputy state
district attorney, turned to the
"bono dry" set of the 1917 legis
lature yosterday and read the pro
vision making It unlawful for "any
person to roceive. Import, possess,
transport, deliver, manufacture sell,
give away or barter any intoxicat
ing liquor within this state." The
only exception as to possession was
the possession of liquor lawfully
acquirod before the passage ot that
act. '
"The federal prohibition act spe
cifically says that no search war
rant can be Issued affecting pri
vate dwelling unless' it Is baaed on
an affidavit that intoxicating liquor
Is being sold there," asserted Unit
ed States Attorney Humphreys. "It
Is my Interpretation of the law that
a home being used as a distillery, no
longer Is a private residence and Is
not embraced In thlB ruling."

scarcely could touoh the home bre

be approved by the spirit df the

Thero Is a ray of hope for the

All laws can only be enforced
within reason," he commented.
Too strict an attack on the sover
eignty of a man's borne and his
nersonal liberty, would never be
successful. There Is not a Jury In
'he land which would convict a man
o' violation of federal or state pro
hibition acts when the evidence ln
his case showed plainly that he had
concocted a few bottlea of beer for
nersonal use. The law may deny
him the rlht but the average Juror
never would."
