The vanguard of the Christmas
turkevt came In today, approximate
i. 500 blrda being sold on the local
market this afternoon. The turkeys
are In exceptionally fine condition
and the quality could not be improv

II ia very probable that the price for
Chritnias turkeys win reacn ov cnm
sod not at all Improbable that even
t greater sum will be realized. The
buyers are In the field and report
tbit the market is stronger than at
Th misgiving time, although Ihey
naturally decline to make any state
ment their respective houses are will
ing to pay for the birds.
Tomorrow will be turkey day, and
reports from the country districts
show that the turkey raisers all over
the county are killing today in an
ticipation of selling their fowls to
morrow. The early indications are
that practically all of the birds now
ready for the market will be handled
locally, and that the bulk of them
will be brought to the city Saturday
morning.
The birds are plump and in fine
condition and consequently the ma
jority of them will bring top price.
The reports from -Oakland indicate
the nme, condition, existing there,
and it Is'qulte evident that the buy
ing will be heaver for the Christ
mac season than for Beveral years.
The largest part of the turkeys have
been held oft from the Thanksgiv
ing market for the Christinas mar
ket because of their poor condition.
This means that the number for
the Christmas trude la larger than
usual, and several thousand turkeys
will be In evidence In Koseburg and
Oakland tomorrow. A few crates
were sent forward to the respective
wholesale -houses late this afternoon
and others are to be sent out to
morrow. Roschurg turkeys have been In
great demand during the past few
days, and several outside orders and
wholesale houses not formerly rep
resented here have been making In
quiries here, while several orders
for birds have been shipped out for
social functions, an order of BOO
turkeys having been shipped by
ieorge Kuhlhagen lo the Vancouver
Klkt, to be used for a turkev trot
there. Tho Douglas county bird is
rapidly becoming known alk over
the coast and is demanded wherever
II la known, as the quality of the
turkey, raised In this climate is far
uperior In quality to all others.

Window Cleaners
Have Fixed Rules
CHICAGO. Dec. Unpractically
all ot the windows of Chicago's sky
scrapers are cleaned by a small ody
of men 325 who are members ot
the Chicago Windi.w Washers
Union, according to William McDade,
Duslness agent for the organization.
The men work on a weekly basis. 8
hours constituting a day's work. If
weathe rconditlons make work on the
outside impossible, the men are em
ployed on the Inside.
The contract for the cleaning of
the windows la given to a contracting
companies, who bids on the work,
when the bids are accepted, they fur
finfh the nTFh from the union. They
also furnish all working material
used in the washing of the windows,
such a sworklng harness, pails, the
sponges, chamois, etc.. In fact they
supply everything except the water.
Every possible safety device known
to the trade la employed by the
union, to protect Its men from acci
dents.
The number of men killed doing
this kind of work has been greatly
lessened through the efforts of the
union. The contractors have also
done much to safeguard the pedes
trians on the street below, accord
ing to Mr. McDade.
In the last year, business agent
McDade said that the union lost only
one man by death, while the number
of accldenta to the members has
shown a big decrease.
The average union window wash
er will clean about 100 windows to
the day, the business agent said, and
this Is the basis upon which the con
tractors figure when giving an esti
mate on the work.
The membership of the union Is
made up of about 40 percent Ameri
cans, do percent Polish and the oth
er 10 percent Is divided among the
members of other nationalities. It
Is estimated that about two thirds
of the members uf the union are
married men.

Somewhere In Douglas county there
Is perhaps a tiny boy, whose little
eyes pop with delight as he looks in
the store windows and sees there the
many beautiful Christmas toys and
shivers with anticipatory pleasure as
be tliiuks that only a few days more
must pass until Santa Clans visits
him. Or, maybe there Is a little girl,
whose mother Instinct causes her to'
yearn with all the might of her lov
ing soul for one or those darling
dollies that draw her irresistibly to
the window to pe r in at the lovli
ness there unfolded, and dreams that
In a few days Santa Claus will put
In her arms one of those darling dol
lies for which her heart is crying
out. But will he? Perhaps there Is
widowed mother, or an Invalid
father, perhaps sickness has come
with all Its worry and expense, per
haps hut why go on?. We all know
what poverty means. Perhaps we
have teen frtun-ite enotiKh not
experience Its sordid depths, and we
know that we ran never realize the
heart aches that come at the Christ
mas time, the time ot the year when
all should be happy and should strive
to give happiness to those whose
lives hold so little ot pleasure be
cause of misfortune.
If there is any such person In the
whole ot Douglas county, there is
an organization ready to see that
they have a Merry Christmas. That
organization Is the Elks lodge, which
has appointed Jack Pelton, joe Mur
phy and G. W. Young to represent
the order In carrying Christmas
cheer In all homes where for some
reason Christmas will fail to come
otherwise.
The committee has only a short

Consequently, If you know of any
peram in the county, not neces
sarily in Roseburg, but within the
limits of Douglas county notify Mr,
J. E. Pelton, either by telephone or
by letter. His telephone number Is
222-L and a letter addressed to him
at Roseburg, Oregon, will reach him.
It is asked that any people send

gest what would be best for the per
son or pprsons for whom help is
wanted. This' will greatly aid the
committee In buying the supplies,
toys, or whatever Is needed, and will
also save delay and expense.
Everyone can help the little tots
to have the pleasure that Is rightful
ly theirs on Christmas If they will
let Mr. Pelton know of any worthy
cases where help can be given.
As usual the committee will be as
sisted by Miss Agnes Pltchford, the

Sam Josephson Says Rose
burg People are Making
a Grave Mistake.
INTEREST IS LACKING
In Montana the Xuines of AU Oregon
Towns, With the Kxcoptlmi of
ltoselitnv, Are l-'requenlly
Heard Mentioned.
District Attorney George Neuner,
Jr., president of the Douglas County
Chamber of Commerce, has received
a very Interesting letter from Sain 8.
Josephson, a Roseburg boy. who la
now holding a responsible position as
secretary of the Roundup Commer
cial Club In Montana. Mr. Josephson
urges Roseburg citizens to Kit behind
their chamber of commerce, and
writes as follows:
"I see by the papers that you have
been elected aB president of tne
chamber of commerce, and congratu
late the town as well as sympathize
with yourself.
"From time to time I see article.
in the papers relative to the activi
ties of the chamber and also noticed
the fact that the American City Bu
reau had been turned down. Rose
burg probably made one big mistake
there in not letting them go ahead,
but regardless of that, she Is con
tinuing to lose heaps over her pol
icy of not supporting a chamber
properly.
"We hear frequently here of Med
ford, Klamath Falls, Salem, Eugene
and many of the other towns of Ore
gon, but I have heard no one speak
of Roseburg unless they happened io
visit there. Hundreds of people go
to Oregon lo buy homes from Mon
tana, and the other communities are
getting them. I never realized what
advantages Roseburg has t o offer
until I lived in Montana a year or
two, and. the pvople there are mak
ing the mistake of their young lives
when they persist In that policy. Of
course It Is none of my business, but
I naturally take an Interest In tho
town I was born in and It seems a
shame thai they do not wake up.
"Why don t you have rrohhach or i
Medford, or Stanley of Klamath
Falls, or McCroskey of Salem, all of
whom are former Montana secre
taries, tell the Rosesburg people at
a luncheon what we do In Montana
or what they are doing in their
towns. They would be glad to o
It. and they might make some of the
old-timers sit up and take notice. I
have been offered some pretty good
secretarial Jobs on the coast In Ihe
past few months, but Montana beats
them all for pep. Besides we expect
to have heaps of oil here soon.
"With best regards to all of my

BRIDGE PLANS ARE
: UP FORAPPROVAL
County Surveyor's Specifi
cations are Placed Be-
fore State Engineers.
QUICK ACTION ASKED
Requested That Approval of Plans be
Ciiven as Boon aa Possible In
Order That the Coutrurt
May lie Awarded.
The contract on the Evana pirk
bridge, which Is to replace the old
Alexander bridge. Is being held up
while the state engineer looks over
the plans prepared by County Sur
veyor Floyd Frear. The engineers
have had the plans for some time,
but have evidently not considered
them as yet, although they have been
requested to act on them as soon as
possible as It Is desired to allow the
contract at once in order that tho
contractor making the successful bid
may start work at once getting out
timbers and doing the preliminary
work during the winter months so
llvut the actual construction may pro
ceed as soon as water will permit In
the spring.
It is provided by law that any
bridge span over the length of 45
feet must be approved by the state
bridge engineers and consequently
before the county and city can pro
ceed with the construction of this
important bridge It 1b neecssary to
obtain the approval of the stato
bridge designers, who are now fig-
urlng on Engineer Frear's plans.
Those who have had an opportunity
to inspect the plans drawn by the
county surveyor Btate that the new
bridge will be much less expensive '
than those prepared by the state, '
and that at the same time the bridge
will be aa strong but not as fancy.
The bridge plans which were re
jected by the county court and the
city because of tho great expence oi
building in accordance with the
specifications, provided for many
Items which have been eliminated in
Mr. Frear's plans. Oak bearings,
steel spllcings, and many other such
features which would add to the ex
pense have been withdrawn and new
plans substituted.
It is believed that the structure
proposed by Mr. Frear will be within
the reach of both the county and the
city and that if a suitable bid can be
received that work will be started
within a very short time after the
contract is allowed.
The' accident which recently hap
pened at the site of the former
bridge when four persons almoBt lost
their lives while trying to crosB tho
river by boat, shows conclusively the
imperative need for the btldge, and
tho people of the county will demnnd
Its construction. The city and coun
ty have reached an agreement where
by they co-operate in its construc
tion, the county assuming 80 per cent
of the cost and tho city 40 per cent.
This makes practically a 60-60 agree
ment, as the city of Roseburg pays
approximately 10 per cent of the
county tax and consequently Is rep
resented to the extent of 10 per cent ,
In the sum to be appropriated by the
county court.
