Will Inspect
County Orchards
Professor Clayton L. 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.

Attorney O. P. Coshow, well known

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

Gov. 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."

WASHINGTON. 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."

o
No Trace Found
of Lost Hunter
E
Council llefithes to Consider Iiurov
ing Strip of land Between Kncl
of Steikhens Street nnd New
Pacific Highway Grade.
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.
