Greatly worried, he phoned Into the News-Kovirw of fice and inserted a small advertise ment which ho hoped would help hliu sell a few boxes. Today Mr. Kvans returned to Kosehurg with a broad grin on his countenance And an nounced that ho had disposed of every ripe tomato on the place and people were even threatening to walk away with the preen ones left. The adv. cost him $2.25. It was in serted in the News-Review for four days. It h cost was much less than the expense of one trip to town and he saved several hundred boxes of tomatoes in addition to the tlmo and expense which would have been con sumed had he been forced to bring the produce to Hoseburg.

Ifn . jiftf (..tot(ti;i PRICE VERY HIGH NOW Cimrdileralilc Discussion is Developed lk-cause ot High Cost of I-ayinn I'uveinent at the Present Price of Materials. Considerable business was dis posed ot by the city council last night and following the meeting it was de cided to hold another session on Thursday night for the purpose ot set i ling the matter of the extension of South Stephens street to link up wit It the new highway south of the city. The greater part of the evening was taken up with matters pertain ing to the streets. The contract for the pavement of North Jackson street was allowed to L. W. Metzger, who was the only bidder, and who contracted to do the work for the Bum of $5765.95. Considerable dis cussion was had over thiB pavement, especially regarding the price, which It Is claimed will amount to almost $500 per lot. It was proposed that the plan of pavement on Norlh Jack son bo changed and that a 21-foot street bo constructed. This, how ever, brought nbout consfUerable op position and it was finally decided to proceed with tho paving under the present plans. Considerable amuse ment was caused by a mistake on the part of the engineer who forgot to make specifications for curbs. The amounts were right for the curbs but no specifications were made for them. This matter was settled, however, and was adjusted. , A petition was received from resi dents of Fowler street, north of Court, asking for pavement, and a resolution wub adopted Instructing the engineer to prepare plans and specifications. C. W. Clark, a resident of North Roseburg, appeared and objected to the action ot tho council in granting Bruce Bridges a year's time In which to construct sidewalks In front of his two vacant lbts. All others along the street have their watks in or are putting them In, Mr. Clark told the council, and Ire maintained that Mr. Bridges should be forced to put In his walks. He also stated that the surface water would sweep over the vacant lots onto the street nnd would make It muddy In tho winter. The council finally reconsidered Its action nnd ordered the sidewalk con structed. R. M. Jennings, manager of the Douglas County Light & Water com pany, appeured and asked if the council would not take some action regarding the bill which has been presented from month to month for water and light furnished the city hull. Mayor Hamilton informed him there has always been a verbal igreement that light and water should be furnished the city hall free of charge and that the city Is working under tills agreement. He staled further the city would refuse o pay the bill unless forced to do so 'iy the court. Mr. Jennings Inll muted that (ho light and wuter for the city hall will possibly bo turned on and the city put In a position tu force court action. Tho request of Win. L. Torcy for a Jitney license was received and al lowed. The engineer's estimates for tho proposed sower In the Grove district was received. He estimates a sewer from Teniplin street to Lane street nt $6632.04; from Templln to Oak at $7154.38, and from Templln to Mnsher at $5624.79. Councilman l.lndsey stated that he will fight any nitempt to force a sewer In that dis trict. He told tho council that when the Fullerton street sewer was con structed he bad endeavored to have It so nltuntnd that It would accommo date Ihe streets where the new sewer Is proposed. For political reasons, he said. It was not so placed, and he would not agree to forcing the other residents to such a heavy expons". The usual reports and bills wen received and approved. It was re ported that the street cleaning de part mint has been unable to give all the proper attention to cleaning tho stir. :r as a great deal of time has h' n given to making repairs to the onvemeiit bi-rore the rainy season. Mayor Hamilton made a report on the work of the street cleaning de partment and explained the reason for the present condition of the street. At ihe conclusion of the meeting an adjournment was taken until fi--im IP. -aw, wiinniliK lh. n,,.l by a bonnm they had built of the refuse thy had Ifound there. The boys were re leased this morning and told to get out of town. HOY IS 1MPROVINO M'llnrd Pextv. the seventeen year old" lnd who had his foot bndlv crushed at Riddle a short time ago. Mr. and Vrs.
