Cederstrom to Fight

The ten round bout between Sewell
Deane, of Spokane, and Roy Ceder
strom, of this city, has been set tor
Friday, Dec. 10, and it la expected
that a large number of fight enthusi
asts will go from Roseburg to Cot
tage Orove, where the battle Is to
take place, to witness the contest be
tween the two men. Cederstrom has
gone Into hard training and will
doubtless be In good condition ly the
time he enters the ring. His oppon
ent is a well known fighter and the
fight will doubtless be one of the
best to he seen in the state for some
time. The fight Is scheduled to go
ten rounds, but as both men have
knockout records a stiff punch is apt
to end the go before the round limit
Is up. Several other interesting
bouts will be staged In connection.

Al (JETS RESULTS
As a result of a recent advertise
ment carried In the News Review,
Glenn Taylor, a local garage man
yesterday received an order for tires
from a man living in Strathmore,
California. Mr. Taylor advertised a
special reduction in tire prices and
the wide circulation or the News-
Review has been plainly shown by
the answers he has been receiving
from various parts of the country.

others have the poorest of attire. One
frail woman and a pinched featured
girl of four were scantily clad in thin
cotton garments, while sturdy men
were wrapped In blankets In the
bracing mountain air. It made one
wonder if the husband and father
had fallen during the revolution,
leaving these among other helpless
victims.
In southern Chihuahua on this line
of railroad several years ago there
was fought one of the notable bat
tles of the revolution. The federal
troops were sent here from Mexico
City to quell a large body of revolu
tionists. After a hot battle in the
open country both sides prepared to
withdraw. The federals went aboard
their train and the revolutionists
sent a car of dynamite "wild" down
the track. It crashed Into the fed
eral train and exploded with awful
carnage. The federal general was so
downcast by the disaster to his forces
that he suicided.
Nearlng Torreon In the state of
Durango, the general barren char
acter of the country changes and
quantities of cotton and other pro
ducts are grown. Warm afternoons
make electric fans a comfort in the

Br Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. Senator
Capper, of Kansas, discussing his bill
to put a ten per cent tax on future
trading in grain and cotton except oy
the actual owners or a limited class
of traders under federal license, said
"the Chicago board of trade la the

tion. More wheat was sold in Oc

United States this year. This year"s

doubt that a gigantic raid made by
the bears was the chief cause In the
disastrous slump In prices of farm

Foolish History of
County Published
A "Foolish History of Roseburg
and Douglas County" Is the title of
a humorous book edited by Hort U.
Bates, which Is now on the presses,
being made ready for the holiday
trade. Although the history Is not
strictly according to Ridpath, it is
much more Interesting and has been
compiled in a most unusual manner.
It is freely Illustrated wltn dashing
cartoons and Is an excellent laugh
producer.
It is expected tnat ine dook win
be placed upon the market within
the next few days. The type matter
is complete) and the book is being
completed as rapidly as the printing
can be done.
Those who ore familiar or unfa
miliar wllh the early history of Rose
bure and Douglas county will be
able to learn a great deal that they
never knew before through perus
ing the pages of the forthcoming
hlslory. The book Is well described
in its title of "Foolish" and no one
can fall to get a laugh from Its many
pages of comic features. All of the
local celebrities are "handed a
bunch" they will never forget.
Mr. Dates Is an excellent cartoon
ist and has been drawing for some
of the leading magazines of the
coast. In the book which he Is pub
lishing, he shows some or his nest
work connecting his cartoons with
Douglas County's war history.
The history will be placed on the
market within a few days and will
be open to the holiday trade. It is
an excellent souvenir, and doubtless
the sale will be heavy.
In addition to the comic portray
al of early events of the settlement
of the county and city of Roseburg.
a number of pages are filled with at
tractive advertisements placed by the
leading merchants of the city.
The humorous data concerning
the "antique days" of Roseourg and
Douglas county covers tno period
from the time Chief I'mpqua was
"kinr of all he surveyed" up to and
Including the present time. The book
will be on sale at Agnes Pllrhford's
news stand, the Roseburg Bonk Store
sad at the News-Review office.

HALLE, Germany, Dec. 4.- The
old, rich, propertied German aris
tocracy has held its own through
war und revolution here as perhaps
in m other part of the new r public.
Great estates and numberless ten
ant, huge factories and famous salt
mint's, keep the pre-war cuHtoms and
conditions virtually u-k hanged.
Only the flamlnp p stern of hoi
tihe itmi and the placaids calling
"young communi; im" to meetings In
dicate that the hpirlt of unrest is
working for the overthrow of the old
ord r. The very fact (hat conditions
hero are much the same as they
were before the war apparently hus
contributed to the iuu unity with
whl;h (he radicals have b gun their
campaign for "a dictatorship of the
proletariat."
The uliops are filled with select
foods and line clothes, but the prices
are very high and wages still are
low. The shopkeepers say their
trade Is almost entirely with the
rich, old families, and the farmers
who have won prosperity through the
changes following tho war the high
price of farm produce and the depre
ciation of the mark, which has per
mitted many to pay mortgages once
considered an everlasting obligation.
Day laborers, factory workers and
the tenants have no money for lux
uries and barely enough lo buy ne
cessities. German communists refer to Hallo
as "The Red Heart of Germany." and
ay the issue between the bourgeoisie
and the proletariat Is here more
clearly drawn than even in the most
conservative sections of Prussia. The
local communist organization Is
frankly committed to "ruthlessnoss'
and is energetically and openly seek
ing recruits against (he day tho
revolution" shall break.
There have been clashes bet ween
radicals and conservatives already,
and the river Saale, a narrow stream
that flows placidly between hifli
rock cliffs on top of which stnrrl
crumbling ruins of 15th century cas-
;ies, has known victims of knite and
gun. One of theses was a high army
officer. He was beaten and cut and
thrown Into tho river. As ho feebly
essayed to Bwim to shore he was shot
to death. Fists flRhls and clubbings
have by no means b en unroinmnn.
Among the malcontents are many
former soldiers, some of whom held
commissions, and these are supported
by their women. Against the com
munists the men and women of
wealth stand solidly together, and
generally have the support of the
more well-to-do peasantry. It is
noticeable that many of the more
active 'reds are young stinients,
still pursuing their studies In the old
and famous university here. He
tween the (wo factions there is, and
can be. no spirit of compromise.
In the nation-wide campaign which
the German communists decided to
begin, following the convention of
tin independent socialist, party hero,
the Halle wing of the Moscow adher
ents is being counted upon to bear
the brunt or battle in Saxony, for it
is considered a strategical center of
the campaign will be in this locality.
