TO
BE TURKEY MY
Early Indications Show Un
usual Aspects in Xmas
Turkey Market.
POOL IS A FACTOR
Just What Kffert the Pool Being
Made by the County Agent Will
Hate on the Buying Price is
A Vet Uncertain.
Activity ln the Christmas tur
key market has started and from
early indications there will be some
very Interesting- events during the
buying season. Saturday will be
"turkey day" Instead of Friday as
the buyers do not want the -birds
killed so early in the week.
Christmas is on Saturday this year.
It la expected that there will be
very large number of birds for the
Christmas market as many of the
turkey raisers held their best fowls
off the Thanksgiving market, ln
spite of this fact, however, it is not
believed that the number ot tur
keys placed on sale, will reach the
normal, as the year has been very
unfavorable Tor the raising of these
birds.
The market conditions are very
unusual, and several uncertain fac
tors will enter Into the buying this
year. The pool being formed by the
County Agent is an unknown quan
tity and just what effect It will have
on the market, cannot be forecasted.
Mr. Haslett states that he bos lined
un over 3.000 birds for this pool
in the event he is able to hold thin
number when buying starts, there
is no doubt but that the pool will
control the market.
Just what plan will be followed
In disposing of the pool birds can
not be stated as this will depend
altogether on the price offered by
the buyers. It is very probable that
the pool will be held until the price
offered is satisfactory when tne
growers will dispose of their fowls
to the various buyers. In the event
the price does not go high enough
to suit the turkey raisers, the birds
composing the pool will be consign
ed by the growers to some firm or
else placed on sale at auction.
It Is very probable that the pool
will have a material effect ln boost-
ng the price of the Christmas bird
At Thanksgiving time, the dealers
bought In Roseburg at iHhi cents.
These same birds were sold over
the block at from 60 to Ti cents
per pound. Turkey raisers claim
that tills is an excessive percentage
of profit and hold that If the birds
are to be retailed at such a sum that
the profit should go to the grower
who has given time and money to
the raising and care of the fowls.
An attempt was made at Thanks
giving time to pool the turkeys of-
ferred at that time, and in fact the
pool then did result quite satisfac
torily, county Agent Hasieit, con
signed a shipment ot 66 turkeys to
a poultry house, and announced the
net price to the grower as 6 4 cents
per pound. Consequently if a good
price Is not realized, it is very prob
able that more birds will be con
signed this year.
Outside buyers are coming Into
the field again and announce that
they exepect to buy heavily. In ad
dition, local dealers are preparing to
take large numbers of turkeyB. No
price can be predicted owing to the
uncertain conditions mentioned.
Very probably the market will open
around 45 cents with an upward
endency.
The American Legion basketball
team baa held several fine practices
lately and last night a large crowd
of leglonalrres turned out to "shoot
a few" baskets. The team plans an

brought here daring the winter for

Coal Industry
Sharply Criticized
Br AuAtt rr
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. Sharp
criticism of the coal Industry accom
panied a partial report of the senate
committee on production and recon
struction, submitted to the senate.
The report asked the power to con
tinue the Investigation and suggested
government activities to bring about
a co-operation under regulation In
building construction. Senator Ken
yon said If the present methods of
producing and dstrlbutlng coal are to
go on, he "for one, harsh as the
remedy may be, shall favor taking
over the mines." The report urged
the department of Justice to prose
cute the wrongdoers among labor
leaders and employers who have
combined to force unjustly high costs
of building.

With a view of promoting and aid
ing the construction of the Drain.
Elkton, Scottsburg. Ileedaport-Cooa ,
Buy highway, the local Chamber of
Commerce and the county court or
UoUKlaa county will be represented
at a meeting to be held at Heedsport
next month with the Chamber of
Commerce representing that thriving
city. The county court will be re
quested to name the date most suit
able for the attendance of Its dele
gates and whatever date is set villi
be acceptable to the two chambers
of commerce co-operuting in this
great project.
It was the plnn of the Iteedsport
Chamber of Commerce to hold a
meeting to consider this matter on
November 30, and Invitations were
Issued to the local Chamber of Com
merce and the county court. But on
account ot the inability of the mem
bers of the court to attend, owing to
the regulur monthly meeting of that
body fulling on the following day,
the meeting was indefinitely post
poned. It Is now planned to hold the meet
ing during the month of January and
the Heedsport body has requested the
county court and the locul Chamber
of Commerce to set the date, asking
thut it bo some time during the
month of January.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Itoseburg Chamber of Commerce
last night it was unanimously de
cided that the local organisation will
be represented at the meeting, and
the county court will be urged to ac
cept the invitation of Heedsport to
attend In a body or else be well rep
resented by delegates.
The conference will be held with a ,
view towards the ultimate construc
tion of the highway, which project la
favored by practically all people of
both Douglas and Coos counties. It
Is a project which the various cham
bers of commerce of cities und towns
concerned should emphatically un:c
Considerable money is now avuil-
able for this roud, the niouoy being
ln the bond fund, which money cun
bo matched with state and federal
funds.
The IleedBport Chamber of Cotn-ii-ce
is very anxious to hold a good
sized meeting, with representatives
froiu the cities and towns interested
In the development of the coast high-
way. and Iteedsport has been selected
us the meeting place because of its
central location.
This project Is one which means a
good deul to the entire county and
next to the Pacific highway Is tho
most Important road project ln the
county. Sentiment Is strongly lu
favor of the construction and the
county court will be urged to do all
wit hin Its power to push the comple
tion of this most Important road.
