Small Adv. Results

boxes of ripo tomatoes In the Held,
while cnoiiKh to fill several hundred
mora boxis were ready to bo picked.
Thu tomatoes were ripening so fast
he did not have lime to bring them
to ItoHcburg to market and they wero
in danger of spoiling tf kept for
many more days. 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. It is not
necessary to state the moral.

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.
