A GREAT VICTORY FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY.
We take ofr our hat to the voters of this county who yesterda
gave the good roads bond issue such an overwhelming majority,
l'rol ably never before in the history of this section of the rflak
was a subject presented of so vitarimpoifai.ee to the future iii
wlopnient of all the county, and never before was a question sub
mitted to the voters that redounded with such unanimous n l
proval. The victory does not apply, as many supposed it would, l
Loseluug and the various important towns throughout the county
but had the support of u large majority of the fifty-nine precincts,
thereby demonstrating in no uncertain tones that the rural dis
tricts were heartily in accord with the proposed bond issue. Thi.
Mate of affairs is most gratifying. It shows conclusively that tn.
larmi ig element is strongly in lavor of idl matters pertaining U
the upbuilding of the county and that good roads are a paramoun.
feature for the future success of the county in general.
Uy the general support given this measure by the farmers ii
every nook and corner of the county, a feeling of just pride pre
vails that when a meritorious issue arises, as was the case a.
yesterday's special election, they may be counted in giving then
loyal approval and complete sanction to the issue.
The victory was complete in every particular and no loop
hole is left tiiat would in the least possible way show a shadow o.
doubt as to the true intent of the legal voters of this county, 1
was a victory that savors of the unbounded faith the people have
in Douglas county and its possibilities. It is a happy realizatioi
of greater things to be accomplished and a step lorward in tlu
march of progress that will open avenues in a business way tha.
have long been dormant. No issue of greater importance eve
presented itself and was so generously approved by the peoph
ol Douglas county.
The cost of the many projects set out by the local bond issui
will be a mere trifle compared to the advantages to be gained am
a period of general prosperity In this section of the state will pre
vail. New capital will be invented, many substantial home
builders will be attracted to this section and the rural district,
will be greatly augmented by those people coming from a distana
and who appreciate the progressive spirit shown by the horn,
people in taking advantage of every possible means to open up tin.
big county by a thorough and systematic program of permaneii.
road building.
Yesterday's edict sounded the death knell for any movemen.
to retard the growth of this prosperous county, and henceforli
we may look lor greater and bigger things that have for thei.
purpose the upbuilding of every city and hamlet in the county.
o
POWER OF ATTRACTIVE HOMES.
If you can take the roving families of this moving age, ant
persuade them to settle down in a good town and make an effort ti
own their own homes, you will make industries more efficient, am
dissipate social unrest.
if you can form a home building organization, put up simpl.
houses that have beauty and attractiveness, and which are at
ranged around pretty courts with landscape gardening, you wil
begin to get results.
The charm of these dwellings w ill move a lot of young peoph
who would never deny themselves to bu a commonplace house, Oi
Whose imagination is not kindled by the mere sight of a bank book
Every bride that sees one of tiiese tasteful, new style honied
feels that to possess it is the greatest longing of her life. She wil
go long without new clothes to get an equity in it, and she will per
suade her husband to make sacrifices.
The ltridgeport, Conn., Housing company is an organizatio.
that has tested out the truth of these theories. It started witi
the idea that the modern wage earner demands a coml'ortabl
home, and that it pays the community to make it possible for hin
lo get it. It encourages newly married people to take little apart
ments in tasteful group houses, and it will give them a chance ti
put their money into bonds giving a share of ownership in tin
sunie. As the families increase it plans to take their savings, am
supply the balance of the funds needed to build dwellings. Th
power of these influences to promote the home building movemen.
is seen in the fact that in one night and one afternoon it .sold Id.
dwellings on this basis.
It Ro.seburg is to develop as it might, it must offer pleasau.
and attractive homes to its wage earners. When it does that tin
policy of saving will appeal to a great many who would never sc.
aside money regularly for any other form of thrift.
COMBATS A POPULAR IMPRESSION.

burg tomorrow to immediately start to perfect plans to carry on
the work on the Roscburg-Coos liay highway. There's inTTmn

spirit in the way of co-operation when he signifies his intent t
de'iver "the goods" just as he had promised to do, along with hi.
associates on the highway commission.

Local people are considering very seriously the matter o,
sending a posse to the Camas Valley district to ascertain, it pus
bible, who that lone voter was that cast his ballot against the bom
issue. Out of 101 votes cast in that precinct only one w;i regis
tered against the measure, and it is thought this voter's loo
slipped just as he was about to go over the top and his pctml jru"
in the wrong Wx.
o
Did somebody say that the farmers were opiosed to K'mh.
roads? Yesterday's vote on the bond issue dispels this idea an
puts "the man with the hoe" in the front ranks of the progress m
element in this county who may le counted on to do things in .
Nisitive way when the issue is presented in a fair and business
like manner.

The ex-service boys are happy today. The vote of npprecia

The University of Wisconsin's investigation previously re
ferred to, of the operations of retail merchants in Madison, Wis
consin, lays emphasis upon the difficulties encountered by small
retail 6tores. It combats the popular impression that retail stores
nave gathered in large profits. It finds that the retailer who is
ible to earn a salary of $2500 is in a class so rare that he should
reel fortunate. It believes that profiteering exists only when a
.nonopoly artificially controls and limits supply.
Small stores, the university experts find, do not come out as
ell as they think they do, because so frequently a good deal of
abor is performed by members of the family of the owner, which
.amily work is not paid for. If this was compensated as other
.tores have to pay for it, the profit would largely disappear.
The university report says, and its conclusions are equally
rue of thousands of other places: "The distribution of Madison's
.ood supply is now accomplished by so many retailers that the
average ones do too small a business. The small retailer can not
juy elliciently. The two chief weaknesses of the present retail
.ystem are that the costs of operating small stores are greater
nan those of large stores, and that small size prevents efficient
juying."
't he conclusion seems inevitable. The small store can over
come its handicap in only one way, and that is by advertising. By
nuking a specialty of a few lines which it can handle elliciently,
iiid by soliciting trade for these specialties, it can soon increase
.ts trade. The enlarged volume w ill cut down its operating ex
pense per article sold, and enable it to enlarge its operations.
The Roseburg-Coos Bay highway will open up a new market

MISS BURLEIGH, TRAINED
NURSE Of 10S ANGELES HAS
PHI 1ANIAC 10 IHE TEST
Miss Hazel M. Burleigh, 960 Fran
cisco St., Los Angeles, Cul., a trained
nurse, after having been convinced
by actual test of the remarkable re
sults following the use of Tan lac,
feels she owes a duty to others to
give them the benefit of her exper
ience with the medicine. Miss Bur
leigh says:
"Last spring I came off a long,
hard caBe and was very badly run
down and weak. I felt the ueed of
something to build we up and bring
back my strength. I had heard
friends and patients praise Tnnlac so
highly I got some and by the time
I had tukeu three bottles I was feel
ing as fine and was as well aug
strong as I ever was In my life and I
have been In the best of health ever
since.
"Since I have found out by per
sonal test that It Is a medicine of
unusual merit I have suggested It In
several cases with gratifying results,
and In one case of chronic stomaph
trouble the benefits following were
noUiing short of remarkable and the
patient is now entirely well. I do
not heeltate to recommend Tanlac in
cases where there Is need of a good
system-builder or In cases of stom
ach trouble, especially those where
formation of gas produces disagree
able symptoms."

When Thomas A. Edison made out
his series of questions as a test for
employees he started something. The
jokesmiths of the press are giving
questions "air" at a rapid clip and
the end Is not In sight. A series oi
humorous questions shown on the
screen in "Topics of the Day" films
registers a laughing success In thea
tres everywhere. This season of the
year Is examination time for school
pupils. Perhaps tbey, as wen as
their elders, may like to answer the
"Edison" queslons found on random
here and there in the public prints:
