NRW YORK, Sept. 1 Whether the
price of sugar after its quick decline
of last week baa reached the bottom
or Is due tor further drop is the sub
ject of conjecture among dealers,
some of whom are losing heavily,
aud stand to lose more K additional
breaks in the market price occurs.
The concensua of opinion among
traders was that many heavy losses
were not to be expected. All agreed
that profits would be materially cur
tailed and In some cases would have
to be foregone completely to avoid
lessened demand and force the mar
ket to a still lower figure.
'Thr "ottom fell out of the market
one lare dealer said today, "shortly
after the demand for domestic con
sumption and export tailed to absorb
huge quantities otf sugar which pour
ed in from nearly every country,
Including China, Japan and Central
Kuropeau points, such as the Hal
kans and Czocho-Slovakla."
Krom a high of over 26 cents for
refined sugar, the price gravitated
rapidly to 17, with frequent offering
of 15 cents from speculators who
feared the end df the decline bad not
been reached.
Tuesday one refinery yielded to
continued pressure, cutting to IS
cents for fine granulated, or one cent
under other refineries, and about
cents under the highest prices of the
summer.
The best bid for Cuban raw sugar
was g cents, cost and freight. The
early summer-high bid for the sanio
commodity was 23 cents.
A geiieral unsettling otf the trade
with a return to profit scales of two
years would he the most noticeablo
consequence, It was predicted. '

County Court Hears
Road Complaints
The county court was kept exceed
ingly busy today hearing various

which Is now before the citizens of
this city and county. With the lim
ited capacity of the present building
it Is impossible to care for the In

good authority we have the informa

hospital to come to their city. It
would indeed be a serious matter.

In order to carry out the proposed

be necessary for a quick campaign
to raise the necessary funds, if tne
building Is to be completed this fall.

City Recorder It. L. Whipple this
afLtirnoou nut in hit. olliciai poailluii
as police juUgu to listen to charges
aud counter churgfs arising from an
altercation at the Uouebuig Apart
ment house. It appears trow the
statements made to the city recorder
that Mrs. W'eidenian recently tool:
over the management of the upart
un at house from Mr. Wliittnm, who
had previously served as inauag -.
Shortly after assuming her duties
Mrs. Weidtnian, it is said, ap
proached C. II. Hall, a boarder, and
demanded that he pay his rent. . Mr.
Hall, who is a railroad employe, paid
that ho informed her thai, he hud
made arrangoments with Mr. Whit
tam to pay his hill on pay day. The
rocorder was told that Mrs. Weide
man became abuHive and insisted up
on being paid, whereupon Hall at
his temper and a general row re
sulted. This state of affairs continued for
a few days, the two engaging In an
altercation whenever thrown to
gether. Hall, it is said, was charged
with having Btolen several article,
and Mrs. Weideman's son was set to
watch his actions. Hall says that he
caught the boy syplng on him and
ordered him lo "beat it." and shori-
ly after the mother appeared "with
blood in her eye." Judging from ac
counts told, the scene following was
of the real slap-dash comedy sort.
After several minutes of hot lan
guage, which became more and more
profane and abusive, Mrs. Weidenian
took a couplo of healthy swing at
her star boarder, landing a right
punch to the jaw and an uppercut to
the face.
Just at that moment another
boarder. Mr. Sullivan, appeared on
the scene and attempted to net as
peacemaker. Ho stepped between
the two parties and attempted to
pacify them.
Mrs. Weideman said that Hall
knocked Sullivan down with a stiff
right-handed jab to the jaw. Hall
says he thought Sullivan 'as taking
the woman's part and merely shoved
him out of the way. Anyhow Sulli
van has a swelling on his jaw.
The landlady Immediately visited
the city court where Hhe demanded a
wnrrnnt for Hall's arrest on a charge
of disorderly conduct. Hall also ap
peared and demanded that Mrs.
Weideman be arrested for assault
and battery. Consequently both war
rants were Issued. After forbidding
each person to speak to the other.
the city recorder tct the time for
trial for 2 o'clock this afternoon.

Very Small Cost Party Will
I'ave ti Sunday Morning.
The Chamber of Commerce is ar
ranging for an excursion of business
men to Oardiner and Reedsport on
September 5th and 6th. and the sec
retary today secured a large number
of names off those who have signed
up to make the trip. All who Io
sire to make this excursion cru do
so by getting in touch with with Mr.
Helnline. phone 259, at once. How
ever, it Is necessary that names he
turned In immediately In order that
full arrangements can be made be
fore next Sunday.
The Chamber of Commerce has re
ceived numerous requests for a
"Business Men's Chamber of Com
merce Kxcurslon" to tho lower Ump
qua section. The requests have come
from the residents of that section of
the country to the business men of
this city. There is no regular boat
service on Sunday, but the Chamber
of Commerce has made arrangements
for one or more special boats to meet
the Roseburg people at Scotsburg
between 12 and 1 o'clock., and tho
boat will be held until all the party
Is there.
Jn order that arrantrements may
be made at the. hotel for the meals
the secretary must know at once
the number going on the trip, nnd
consequently all who expect to take
in the excursion should let him know
nt once. Meals and lodging will be
Reedsport and Gardiner, providing
the people there know exactly how
many people comprise tho excur
sion party.
It Is proposed to leave Roseburg
early Sunday moraine and drive to
Scott sb ii rg. The roads are reported
to be In first class condition and it
hou!d not take more than three or
four hours to make the trip.
Sunday afternoon nnd evening and
Monday morning can be spent in
visiting at Reedsport and Gardiner.
Smith River and Winchester Ray,
and a wonderful time will be had by
all who make the trip. The section
to be visited Is one of the richest in
the county, and yet many Roseburg
residents have never been there.
As the secretary expresss it, "thin
Ib not a stag pirty" and all men a;e
requested to hrintr along their f:im
tlics " or some other mnn's Ifamflv."
It is desiwd to take fifty or more
automobiles from Roseburg, with
each one loaded. The Chamber of
Commerce hopes to be able to put
th's over with a huge success nnd it
Is desired that all of the business
men ot Roseburg are represented.
Land Products Show
To Be Very Good
Arrangements are constantly be
ing made 'i'or the laud Products
Show, to he given in this city at
somo future date this year. Tho
Lund Products Show it Is hoped
will be made an annual event to
take the place of the county fair,
which with the going out of horse
racing appears to have dropped out
of existence. Farmers this year are
showing a great deal of interest in
the show which will be held In
Roseburg and it Is evident that
some excellent exhibits will bo
shown. Tho Douglas County Farm
ISuteau, through its various com
munity branches is working hard on
this matter and Ihe first show will
doubtless be of such great Interest
that future exhlliiiions of a llko
nature will be demanded. The com
munity tfalrs this year will be made
a secondary matter and will be used
as a sort of preliminary to bring
in the best possible produco exhi
bits to the city. The premium list
has been prepared and some very
valuable prizes are neing offered.
Mrs. W. C. Ininan. who has been
attending to business- matters here,
left this afternoon for Kugene.
w here she will spend a short time be
fore returning to her borne In Portland.

NEW YORK, Sopt. 2. Swooping
chunges are being made at Amer
ica's gateway Kilis Island by 1m-
migartiou Commissioner Frederick
A. Wallis, who proposes to make
tho big Immigration station more
comfortable for the nowcomers to
tho t'nited States.
Freedom and sunshine Is being
planned for the new arrivals by the
commissioner who has just an
nounced plans for improving condi
tions in general on the island. Lar
ger buildings are to be asked ho
said, sanitary conditions improved
additional cots provided for thosn
unable to get beds and many other
conveniences for the immigrant are.
to be installed.
Kind and decent treatment for
all new arrivals has been demanded
.by Commissioner Wallis, who has
already announced tho discharge of
some of tho veteran attendants If or
alleged harshness or inefficient in
receiving immigrants. Their place
have been filled by more coiuteo'ifi
at tentative aud younger men.
"1 propose to make this recclv
ing station representative of all
America promises," he said.
Commissioner Wall 13 asserted
that he planned to install baths a'
the Island in order that every Indi
vidual entering tho country will be
given a bath and have his clothes
sterilized before ho enters tho sta
tion.
"They mado our soldiers do this."
he said, so why not make our im
migrants. This will be a big stop
toward preventing disease from en
tering our gates hnd will have a
great moral physicologlcal effect."
One of tho latest Improvements
by Commissioner Wallis h.ts been
tho supplying o'f waim milk to tho
mothers with babies. This was done
a:s soon as the commissioner learn
ed that chilled milk mado the in
fants sick.
When he learned th.at hundreds
of immigrants wore jammed In the
detention pens, the commissioner
ordered the liberation of tho occup
ants and gave them tho freedom of
tho large examination hall.
Commissioner Wallis has appeal
ed to Washington to remove tho
alleged radicals and anarchists de
tained at the island for deportation,
because of crowded conditions at
tho immigration station.
"They are a defiant lot and
should ho deported." ho said. "They
occupy a room that could accom
modate a couple hundred immi
gra nts."
Railroads have also been asked
by the commissioner to providn hot
ter transportation facilities for tho
immigrants and stop employes from
"grafting" from the newcomers, lie
also wants them to be properly fed
while being detained for entrap
ment. While funds are not Immediately
available for improvements at the
Island, Commissioner Wall's wild,
ho will nk Congress to provide tho
money. Ho said that he had already
asked permission to raise funds by
public subscription if the nocesrary
money could not be provided by the
government.

With tliivliipso today of tho period
of government guarantee, the South
ern Pacific announced its Intention
of restoring tho pre-war service of
the Sunset Limited, Its crack train
running between San Francisco aud
New Orleans, according to a message
received this morning by Agent L.
ii. Moore. Simultaneously there ap
peared upon tiie company's bulletin
boards all over tho Pacific system a
irculur addressed to officers and em
ployes, by President Wni. Sproule,
appealing for their co-oueratiou in
fulfilling public expectations.
President Sproule's message to
thoso in tho service follows:
"San Francisco. Sept. 1, 1920. To
Officers aud Employes: On this first
day of September the Southern Pa
cific Co., In common with the other
railroads of the country, resumes
operation upon the basis of what we
are able to earn, gross and net, by
elfectivo work without aid of any
guarantee from the government. We
should now realize that the war
period, with its agitations, uncertain
ties and perplexities, being over, the
country looks to each of us to do his
duty toward restoring our standards
f service. Tho people expect that
the railroads shall bo run on the
basis of sound organization and ef
fective work with proper economies.
Indeed congress has so indicated in
the transportation act of 1920, to
which all roads are now subject.
"Tho rates of the carriers havi
boen increased with the object of
enabling them to meet their in
creased costs and the wages of the
employes have been raised to enable
them to meet their own Increased
costs. In return for this It Is nat
ural for the people to require overy
one hi the railroad servlco to work
capably and with diligence. This
company Is fortunate In the fact that
-seniority nnd fitness have always
been tho basis of recognition in the
service. No railroad can be success
rul except upon tho basis of fitness.
While seniority recognizes length of
service, the person best fitted for the
work Is the one who can render the
