Long, recent ly installed as horticultural specialist with the extension department of the Oregon Agricultural college, Is mak ing a tour of the state and expects soon to visit the orchards of Doug las county, according to word re ceived by the fruit Inspector. He states that he is mapping out a sys tem of education and improvement work among tbe growers throughout the county agents and agricultural councils of the state, with a view to combatting diseases and increasing yields. Professor Long has been in the slate hut a few months, coming to the college from Ohio, where for a number of years he has been en gaged In this particular line of work. Regarding conditions in the middle west, he says the orchardists there are rapidly getting the apple indus try on a commercial basis and are going to make some hard competi tion for the Oregon growers in cer tain varieties of apples. The one aim of the Oregon apple men should be to confine themselves to the par ticular types of fruit that reach the highest .perfection In this climate, and to increase the percentage of shipping fruit, which now runs only about 20 per cent. He states that the eastern grower Is confronted by just as many dis advantages as to climate and disease as she Oregon grower, his one great advantage being the proximity to the market. The Kew England orchard ists are not formidable rivals for hey have a far greater range of fruit pesls to fight than the Oregon grow ers. From his observations thus far he believes Oregon is utilizing only a fraction of Its possibilities in fruit culture. 001 FOR Prominent Roseburg Lawyer Seeks High State ' Position. - MUST WRITE IN NAME Name of None of Caiiiliduteu'will Appear on llnllot and Supitortpra Mtaxt Write la Ntunex Of Favored Office 8eekem.

Coshow, well known attorney of this city, today announ ced himself as a candidate for the office of Attorney General, the posi tion made vacant by the appointment of George M. Brown to the supreme court bench. Mr. Coshow's accept ance came as the result of continued urging on the part of his friends. and was obtained only after several telegrams had been sent him to Port land where he is now attending to business matters. He wired attorney Dexter Rice at noon today that he would consent to become a candidate and consequently will make a cam paign fo rthe office. Mr. Coshow has been away from his office for several days while at tending to legal matters In Coos Bay and looking aftor business affairs in Portland. Mr. Coshow is well known through out the state and men who are in touch -with the political situation be lieve that he has an edge on the situ ation. He has been In public service on a number of occasions and served for several terms as State Senator from Douglas County. He has been a candidate for presidential elector on the democratic ticket and polled a heavy vote at that time. Because of Mr. Brown's resigna tion from the office of attorney gen eral coming too late to have candi dates circulate petitions, there will be no names of aspirants for the po sition of attorney general on tne nai Int.

Cox Makes Attack on Tail VANWERT. Ohio. Oft. 14. A new line of attack upon Taft'a position on the league of nations was made by Governor Cox, opening his three days' campaign in hifl home state. Referring to Taft's statement that even in (he event of the election ot Cox there would remain enough senators to defeat the treaty, Cox de clared that this indicated a plan to disregard the decision in the league referendum. "This can only mean one thing, that when I am elected on i straight forward platform favoring the league it is tli purpose of brazen conspirators, in the senate to treat the mandate of the people with contempt and turn their backs on the expressed will of the electorate. This is unthinkable and will not be permitted, for after all this is a democracy and the will of the people is triumphant."

Oct. 14 Fear that the declining gold production of this country would make it difficult to retain the nattou on a gold stand ard basis during a popular campaign for credit? restriction, accompanied by declining prices was expressed in formal statement Issued by Chair man McFadden of the House Bank ing Committee. Mr. McFadden Is the author ot a bill pending before congress under which a tax of $10 an ounce would be used on gold used in the lndus- tial arts. This tax would in turn be paid to producers to stimulate their efforts. In his statement Mr. Mc Fadden declared that unless sonre re lief was obtained, the American gold mining industry would be compelled to shut down soon because of the legally fixed price of $20.67 an ounce for gold was less than the current production costs. "The continued dopletion of the gold stock by excess exportation and Industrial use," Mr .McFadden said, "will seriously Impair the pub lic confidence in the nation's finance and currency unless a normal gold output is insured. "The I'nited States Mint sold for industrial consumption during 1919 nearly $22,000,000 more gold than was produced from the mines, of the United States, while this year the drain on the monetary stock will In nil probability be $40,000,000. Since the Industrial consumers of gold are the only onea In the country re ceiving raw material at the pre-war price, it is evident that tney are De ing heavily subsidized." Failure of the United States to act Mr. McFadden said, will permit the British Empire to gain an unques tioned supremacy In the world's gold production. South African producers who mine the bulk of the British gold, he added, have been receiving an exchange premium as high as 50 percent since July 19i. ana inn French government, In addition to Imposing an exchange tax on indus trial gold, has levied a sumptuary tax of $3.73 an ounce for gold used in the fabrication of articles other than money. "This year the contribution of the United States to the gold production of the world " Mr. McFadden said, "will probably be not more than 12 norrent. about half that which It contributed In 1915. while the atlm- nlatlnir effect of the British .h.nn nremlum will probably In crease the quota which the British Empire will contribute to 7a per cent." fr and Mrs. W.

The Cobb Real Estate compnay to day filed notice of appeal in tbe cir cuit court from the assessment of the viewers In the recent condemnation of the South Stephens street exleit- ion right of way. The city recently voted to extend Stephens streojt to connect up with the state highway. and being unable to obtain a satis factory price decided to proceed by condemnation. Acting according to the provisions In such cases the city appointed road viewers who, after examining the strip needed to make he connection, decided that the amount of benefit to the Cobb Rn! Cstatc company more than offset the amount of damages and refused to allow them any money for tbe land. The small section taken from the Jvingnton property was accepted hv he city under a compromise condi tion by which the council agrees to build the necessary fences and pro tect the spring from which water ia procured for domestic and irrigation purposes. The deed for this land has been prepared and Is now being held by the council. The Cobb Real Estate company owns the majority of the land needed and in its notice of appeal filed with the county clerk this morning states that the assessment of damages an made by the viewers-Is not just and is not acceptable. The city attorney had previously been instructed that In the event nil appeal is made to uphold the assess ment and the council will endeavor o mnke the findings of the board ap pointed by the mayor hold In this case. The land In question is a atrip from the southern end of Stephens street to the city bound a iy at the point where the new Pacific highway grade enters. The council originally objected to this grade and refused to consider the purchase of the right of way from the city limits to the street, but after a petition had been presented showing a large number of business men and taxpayers to be In favor of the opening of the street. the council changed its decision and had the land condemned. Under an earlier agreement. It Is stated, the highway commission agreed to improve the right of way. but a late decision of the supreme court prevents them from making improvements inside the city limits and consequently the Improvement of the connecting strip Is up to the city. The council refuses to make any improvements and Roseburg now has a road built to her backyard fence and no walk to connect to the porch. It Is qutie probable that following the court settlement of the appeal that some action will be taken to open the connecting strip and putting t in shape for travel.
