Requesting that the matter of the
issuance of $7,000 lu bonds for the
purohase of au aviation site, be re
let red to the people of the city at
the next general election to be held
in November of 1922, a referendum
petition ha. been filed with the city
recorder effectively blocking the
council', attempt to issue the bonds
voted by the people of Roseburg at
the election held in the spring of the
year. The putltlou was drawn aim
circulated, by Councilman Al Crea
Bon. who has been in strict opposi
tion to the aviation field and to the
issuance of bonda at all times. ' K
carries about 85 names which con
stiiutos the necessary number to
force the desired action.
The bond issue was authorized b
the citizens of Roseburg in a special
election held at the same time as the
primary election. : The proposal to
issue $7,000 in bonds was approved
with a large mn'ority and the cha
racter amendment was made.
At a meeting several weeks later,
the council took up the matter ot
issuing the bonds, but an opposition
vote prevented consideration. After
several meetings an ordinance provld
ing for .such issuance was read, bui
as It carried an emergency clause,
two-thirds vote was needed and with
two of the favorable members absent
the ordinance was defeated.
Recently councilman MoClintoclc
again forced the issue mid succeeded
in securing a vole to Instruct Ihi
City Attorney to prepare another or

and Recorder to issue the bonds and
to advertise for bids for their sain.

It fs provided by the charter that
any ordinance can be referred to the
people of the city by a petition sign

the petition filed comes within tn
provisions. It Is requested that the
matter be brought to a vote at the

This means a delay of two years un
less some legal way to bring about
an earlier doclslon Is found.
The opinion has been advance 1
that the only way to bring about a
quicker action. Is to Initiate a meas
ure calling for a special election to
lie held at some time within the near
future. This could be done by fol-.
lowing the same procedure necessarv
to bring any measure to a voto an1
would counteract the petition Just
filed.
It Is too late to refer the measure
to the neople at the present electlo i
,is there Is not sufficient time to get

ithere will doubtless be conslderabls

As a representative of one of the
largest organizations devoted to pia

regarding the rapid growth and de
veloimeiit of this art are very in

It is not such a long lime since
the study of music was considered
purely an accomplishment, and was
classed with dancing, deportment.

It never occurred to the teacher to
Instruct his pupils In keyboard har

various rhythms, nor did he concern
himself in giving theoretical Inform

the advent of the piano recital thing
began to change for tho better and

impetus to the study of a higher
grade of music than before. The

State Music Teacher's Associations
have come into existence during the
past twenty-five years.
".Music has well been called the
"language of the emotions". During
the iilneteelh century It passed from
a purely emotional languago to
ore precise language In which per
sonages. scenes and events wore por

actual occurrences to a degree be

been transcibed for the piano. Thus.

'If the Public schools are to estab

The annual election of the County

S. Mainline, iu the Douglas Dank
Building and the executive coinmit-

requested that they be relieved, hav

'onsequently several new memberfl
wore selected for the new oxecutlve
committee which will be composed
of A. A. Wilder. I. B. Riddle, 8. D.
Evans, W. II. Harris and Jack Pel-
ton.
This committee will meet within a
few days and will elect a president,
Ico-prealdent and treasurer and will
lso choose a committee to handle
the 41h roll call campaign and also
i for the Junior campaign In
the schools.
It will doubtless be decided that
the work of the Public Health In
struction Nurses will be carried on as
great deal ot good ha. resulted
uring the past summer from her
activities. A questlonalre was mail
ed out recently from the local office
to members of the classes which
ere conducted by Mis. Emily H.
Smith, the county nurse, asking them
whether or not they favorod a con
tinuation of the work.
In every case they reported that
great deal of good Is being done by
Mia. Smith, and that they, porson-
lly, have derived a great deal of
good from the Instructions furnished
them by her through the medium of
the Red Cross organization.
Miss Smith Is now working In the
Roedsport, Oardiner, Scottsburg and
Elkton vicinities and ha. large clas
ses In each of those places. She
teaches home sanitation, care of chil
dren, and various thing, pertaining
o nursing such a. would be of bene
fit In the ordinary home. A. soon
as she completes her work there she
will go to the southern part of the
county, where she will organize new
classes.
The campaign for new members
this yoar will not bo in the form
of an Intensive drive as formerly, but
booth, will be located at convenient
placea and all who care to subscribe
to the work of the red cross, can do
so.
Ijst year over 3,000 members
were enrolled and It Is hoped that
the next campaign will result in mors
members being obtained.
The local chapter has been doing
fine work and lost year demon
strated its worth during the flu epi
demic, when It cared for a number
of families which othetwlBe would
have been very poorly cared for.
There was also considerable work
by th" organization In securing finan
cial aid for ex-service men. hut lately
there has been less of this nnd more
attention given to vscatlonal train
ing. The red cross Is assisting ev-
rvlce men In their vacatlonnl train

great deal of Interest In thl. work.
