PLANS ARE DISCUSSED Committee Ak1iiUm1 to Arrange for Open Meetimr and llunquet lit Which Drive For Membership : and Fund Will lie Made. That the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce is making rapid strides forward was evidenced by the good attendance and the great Interest manifested at the meeting last night. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock and the financial statement placed before the members present. It was shown that all hills have been mat and that there is still a small balance in the treasury. The pub licity booklet was approved and highly praised and was placed In dis tribution today. A publicity tunu has been created to take care of the expense of the publication. A committee composed of Irvin P.runn. i E. McClintock and C. A. lockwooTI was appointed to arrange for an open meeting and banquet to be held at some time within the near future. This meeting will have as its purpose the awakening ot greater interest in the Chamber of Commerce and the launching of an Intensive membership campaign. Tho members of the committee will re port their plans at tho next meeting of the board of directors. The local Chamber of Commerce is seriously handicapped by the lack of funds. While other cities and towns have publicity funds amount ing to over 1 10,0(10 ln practically ev ery Instance; Roseburg is forced to limit her activities to an expense ol not more than $1,(100. Whllo other cities can send representatives to vnrious meetings and can secure leg islation on matters of importance. Rosoburg has not sufficient funds for this work and consequently lh- results ' are much loss than the should be. As one means of worRing up greater Interest Attorney C. F. Hop kins recommended tha the forum meetings as are practiced hy othei cities and towns be Btarted. These meetings provide for a noon lun cheon to lie held at some central place where men can gather duringl tho meal and discuss various activi ties and plans for the benefit of the community nt large. Such meetings have been found very successful ln other places and will undoubted be started here soon. t being the time for the annual election of directors a new system for taking this vote was Introduced. Blank ballots were handed out and each person present was Instructed to write tha names uf sjven favorite candidates for d.iect' rs. This being done the votes were t tilled mid those receiving the highest number de- clnred elected. This does away with the necessity of nominations and at tho same time secures a more repre sentative vote. These directors will meet at Bonie future date and will elect a president, vice-president, sec retary and treasurer of the organiza tion. The directors chosen last night were, Geo. Neuner, Jr., A. C. Mars- ters. J. W. Hamilton. Irvin Tirunn. J 10. Mcf'llntoel:. C. A. Lockwood and F. II. Churchill. It was determined that a strong effort should be put forth to secure quarters on a ground floor nt some place on a business street if possi ble. The organization is now handi capped by being on an upper floor and consequently visitors to the city are unable to locate the Chanilier of Commerce. Will Ask U.S. to Curb DeValera . LONDON-. Dec. 8.

FIGHTING 10 LIVE Legion Will Ask County Court to Help Boys by Building ' Bridge and Road. SETTLERS WANT AID Olio Mail 1V1U of IHITkullicH Kn coiuttvred in (acttlng Food mid Supplies to Hit Home stead Huddle. Roy Foster, an ex-soldier, who Is locuted on a government homestead several miles beyond the Hock creek fish hatchery, appeared before the local American Legion post lust night as a representative of Ihe sev eral other ex-service men w!.o are on h miesteads in that section. Mr. Foster attked Umpq.ua post to aid them in securing a bridge acroKi Rook e reek to replaco tha one which recently collapsed, iiiid to also work for a road beyond there to make it possible for the ho lues tenders to get provisions and supplies into their places of residence. "I will Just cite one instance of what happened to let you hoys know how we are fixed up there, said Mr. Foster last night In his apptat to the Legion. "Several days nt?o I " rode Into Itoebur horsehrck and brought two pack hiT.-irs with i.ie. I loaded both ot the horses with supplies for the rest of the boys and myself and mar tod back. When I reached Rock creek I found that the bridgo had been washed out. -. Those of you who know Rock creek will agree with me that it is almost Impossible to ford it during high waters. Hlg, round boulders four and five feet In diame ter cover the bottom of the creek. and it would be plain suicide to put a norse in there and try to ford it. Of course it was absolutely neces sary that I get hy and get the. food up to the fellows, so I rode up the creek on this side about a mile, un packed the horses and carried the supplies piece by piece across the Htreiiu by crawling over on a smul" log. It took me over two horn's to complete this task, and then I rode down to where the bridge had fallen in. I took off my clothes, struppo.i tl'oiu mi the back of one horse and Junip:d Into the saddle. I led tho two park ftorr.eft and they success fully swam tho stream. Ily the Mm ! thU was all done it was pitch dark and I e'Mild not continue the trip,- I built a fire in the woods and st ived there a!) night. Tho rain po-irerl down all night and I was well soaked by the next morning. From tli. 're on the road is terrible. The m:id Is several feet deep and travel is almost Impossible. I wIfIi yoti fellows could help ua some way to get :i bridge and a road. We home s tenders will donate two weeks thm i on its construction and he glad to; do no. The government bet us those homesteads wo couldn't stay there, and It looks now like they are going to win." Following the talk of Mr. Foster a i general discussion of the subject waa carried on. Forest Supervisor Rams- (Ml stated that the Rock creek bridge was-originally built by the forest department and donated to the county. He also said that It is very doubtful whether forest service aid could again bo secured. The post decided to tnko the matter up nnd a committee will appear before, the county court In tho near future to ask their assistance. Mr. Foster was then taken hefore the Chamber of Commerce, which war. in session lad night, and that body followed the course of the Le gion and appointed a like committee. mel at Grants Pass on the 16th.

Music Club Has Good Program A crowded session of the Koe- burg Music Club was held last even ing and an unusually Interesting program was presented. Miss Nao mi Phelps, daughter of Rev. Guy Fitch Phelps, of the Methodist Kp iscopul church, made her musical debut In Roseburg, proving1 to be o soloist of much ability. She will prove a distinct acquisition to mus ical circles here. Other numbers were a piano selection, "Military Polonaise," by lues Calhoun: vocal duet by Dr. and Mrs. K. M. Hrum- f it'ld ; group of three ienor solos by Warren (i. Hurt: group of baritone solos by Lymon Spencer; reading by Mrs. W. W. Asncraft. This reading was exceptionally long anr1, displayed a good memory and dramatic abll liv on the part of Mrs. Asncraft. The cloning number was most un us ual, being a novelty photographic sketch by Hemus. the photographer. Mr. Hemus developed portraits of President-elect Harding, Mrs. Win. Roll, of this city, and others from apparently blank paper, and trans formed tho German flag into Old Glory by apparently wiping It over with a wad of cotton. Mr. Hemus told a romantic war story during his exhibition dealing with a young sol dier who used camouflage methods communicating with his sweet heart after he was captured by tho Oer mnn army. Mr. Hemus showed much nbilily ln the trick photographing and his work was enjoyed hy every one. A dainty luncheon was serv ed and a social time followed the program. SAFE AT LAUNDRY Robber Fails to Find :Vai; uables After Rifling Safe and Office Drawers. INVESTIGATION IS MADE Fight at Cottage Grove on Friday In Friday's bouts the fnna of Cot tage Grove will bio Roy Cedarstrom of Roseburg, a well known battler in the main event against Sewn Deane. the clever veteran from Spo kane. Nothing need be said nf Roy's ability, as he Is known to ho a battier from the rirst gong to tne latit. I)nnp is a clever boy with many victories to h's credit.

For the fourth time the safe at the Roseburg Steam ' Laundry was forced open when some unknown party last night rifled the office of that establishment, obtaining nothing of value. The safe was unlocked, the management leaving it unfastened as (he safe has been wrecked on two separate occasions, causing a heavy loss to the business. The person re sponsible for last night's robbery en tered through a window la the lower part of the building, and went up stairs and into the office. The safe was opened and all tho papers and . drawers removed. No money Is kept iu the safo and the burglar did not care for stamps, leaving a box con taining several dollars in stamps untouched. Several desk drawers were removed and their contenU strewn about over the office floor. The laundry safe was blowu open with nitro-glycerino a number of years ago, the safe and office being wrecked by tho explosion. The rob bers were apprehended and both served terms iu the penitentiary. Since that time the safe has been 1 ft unlocked, and on one occasion a few years later was ransacked again. Only a few months ago some person with a hammer removed the com bination and tho handle, forcing the owner to secure the services of a mechanic and a gas torch to cut a plate out of the door so that the opening mechanism might he worked by hand. The safe door now has a lnrge opening cut through the outside plate and It in impossible to lock it. No valuables are kept ln the build ing at any time and an the thief who entered the office last night waa evl deutly looking for nothing but money, there was nothing taken. It Is believed the work was that of a local amateur, as there were no professional earmarks to the case. The robbery evidently occurred dur ing early morning hours and It ap pears that the robber was Interrupted for a short time by someone passing along the street, this being indicated by the position of one of the drawers. The officers wero notified thU morning but they have practically no clue on which to work. They have made an investigation of the affair and are confident that local talent Is responsible for the crime. Greece Asks King : for Abdication To Aslilmul .'.
