CONVENTION CITY
Umpqua Valley Is Beginning
to Attract Attention From
Statewide Organizations.
MERCHANTS COMING
Live-wire Dealers of State to Meet
Hero Xext Month and Roseburg
is Ignoring to Show Visit
ors a Good Time.
Roseburg a Convention City. This
Is the reputation the city is getting
all over the state where annual con
ventions are being held.
Marshfleld secured the state-wide
convention for 1921, and Eugene and
Roseburg mado a bid for the 1922
convention. On account of the re
markably large delegation from
Roseburg, the delegates were more
favorably Impressed by the renresen
tntlon than that made by the Willam
ette valley, and they determined un
animously to come to Roseburg.
This convention means several
thousands bf dollars of outside mon
ey left in the Umpqua valley, which
Is an Item to be considered from a
financial point of view. The adver
tisement that the Umpqua valley will
receive throughout the state by being
able to handle a convention of this
kind Is worth thousands of dollars
from a publicity point of view.
A ln-ge number of these delegates
bring tnelr wives with them, and It
will be necessary for the wives of loc
al business men to form an organiza- i
tlon and entertain these ladles while
guests In our city. All the whole
sale and Jobbing houses send their
representatives to the meeting, and
this assures a live convention forj
many subjects handled by many menj
of widely different business expert-j
ences, and there is a great deal of
constructive business leg I s 1 a 1 1 o n
transacted at these meetings. This
Is recognized as a dav of organiza
tion among all peoples, and It Is
necessary that the farmer as the pro
ducer, the merchant as the retailer,
and the layman as the consumer
should know something of the busi
ness of conventions of this kind.

Broccoli Little
Damaged Here
Douglas county broccoli has re
ceived practically no Injury from the
severe cold weather of the past few
days, growers in all section of the
county report. Where the broccoli
was growing on light, sandy soil it is
possible that there has been some In
Jury to the plants, but on clay or
loam soli there is practically no in
Jury, It is reported. It is possible
there may be some later develop
ments which will show damage done
by cold weather, but experts who
have been making examinations state
that at the present time It does not
sppear that the loss will be heavy.
Foster Butner states that there has
been a little damage but that he con
not state the percentage until later
results are seen, i Ray C. Brown
states that there will possibly be
some damage to early broccoli but
that the bulk of the crop Is uninjured
except on light soils. Dr. C. H. Bailey
states that the amount of damage
can be ascertained only when fungue
begins to appear. If the plants are
weakened they are easily attacked,
he states and fungus appears and
damages the plant, All of the ex
perts agree that the damage will not
be heavy,

for the purpose of general discussion
of business affairs in general. Some
of the brilliant business minds of the
state will address the meetings, but
the convention will not be all busi
ness, for these men are accustomed
to entertainment on a rather lavish
scale, and they usually provide a
good part of the entertainment. The
annual banquet Is not a mourners
meeting, and Roseburg will not fall
to Immediately take Bteps to form
committees to handle the Important
details of this big meeting on Feb
ruary 20. 21 and 22.
Irvln Brunn Is assuming responsi
bility for a large part of the program
and entertainment of the retail shoe
men, and It Is their present plan to
hold their annual convention at the
time the retail merchants meet. This
means an additional 150 people who
will have to be taken care of In our
local hotels and homes.
At the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Monday night at 7:30 every
merchant In the city is expected to be
present at a meeting, and voice his
opinion regarding the handling of
this convention and the ways and
means of putting It over.

CALIFORNIA-OREGON POWER
CO. ANNOUNCES ITS PLANS
PROJECT OF VITAL INTEREST
Will Operate Throughout the
River Valleys Marks the First Step In Major Hydro
electric Development For This Section.
The California-Oregon Power com
pany announces that It has entered
Into an Interconnection contract to
supply power to the Monntaln States
Power company for a period or 30
years, which power is to be used
throughout the rich and fertile Wil
amette valley, says the Medford
Mall-Tribune In its issue of lust
evening.
In order to supply this power, the
California-Oregon Power company
will construct a 116-mile high ten
sion transmission line of 110,000
volt construction which will extend
from the Prospect plant of the com
pany through the Rogue river and
Umpqua valloya Into the upper Will
amette valley, where It will connect
with the transmission system of the
Mountain States Power company at
Eugene, Oregon.
This project stands out as one of
the most important power develop
ments of recent times, as It will
close the last gap of the longest In
terconnected power transmission sys
tem In the world, extending from
northern Oregon to tho Mexican bor
der.
Construction Work to Regln nt Once.
Goneral Manager Paul B. McKee
announces that plans are being pre
pared and that the construction of
this power line will begin Immedi
ately. A number of construction
crews will be started In the field at
once, as it Is planned to complete
the work this year. The 116-mile
transmission line will have a capac
ity of 25,000 horsepower. Although
of 110,000 volt construction, the
line at first will Ira operated at 66,-
000 volts and will connect at Eugene
with the 60,000 volt line of the
Mountain States Power company.
Of Much Benefit to local Territory.
This marks the first step In the
major hydro-electric development of
the California-Oregon Power com
pany at Prospect, on the Rogue
river. The new contract will facili
tate and enable the development of
the compnny's large power resources
there, thus Incurring a supply of de
pendable power ample to take care
of the future needs of the Rogue
-Ivor and Itmpqiin valleys and all of
southern Oregon in advance or such
needs. In other words, the Rogue

who secured a divorce from her aged

still believes marriage a wonderful
Institution.
The beautiful, Tltlal-halred young
woman, who has come from Denver

announced today that she will press

$100,000 a year for the support of
herself snd her two children and the

It was the mating of Mav and De--emhor

"lisrk wire klne." married Stokes, n
mnn about town, angil of chorus
girls, already twice divorced and old

"I never said It was disastrous for
s girl to marry a man much older
'hsn herself, snd I do not say It
now," the young woman said, con
tinuing her Interview, ".lust hecause
my own experience was unhappv It
does not follow that another girl's
would be. Everything depends on In
Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue
vance of the need for power.
The company is now making plana
for the financing of this new project.
Large sums of money will be spent
locally for labor, materials and sup
plies to be used in the construction
of this new transmission line.
The amount of power to be sup
plied upon the completion of the line
will produce a very satisfactory In
crease In the earnings of the com
pany, and as more power la called
for from time to time additional gen
erating capacity will be installed at
Prospect.
Greater Development for Western
Oregon
Hie extension of the California
Oregon Power company's lines to Eu
gene means much to the territory en
route, as well as making Prospect
power available throughout the rich
and fertile Willamette valloy served
by the Mountain States Power com
pany's system. It has only been
through the closest co-operation of
these two companies that this Inter
connection has been made possible.
The upper Willamette and Umpqua
valleys, heretofore practically un
touched by any power system, will
now have available the waterpower
resources of the state In advance of
Industrial and commercial develop
ment. The agricultural and timber
resources of this vast territory will
be made more accessible by the con
struction of this power line.
World's Lnt-KONt Interconnected
Power System. 9
This Interconnection to the north,
together with the connection with
tho Pacific Gas and Electric com
pany to the south, makes the California-Oregon
Power company one of
the most important links In the In
terconnection of power lines which
now reaches almost from Portland
to San Diego, and will eventually
the entire Pacific coast.
Through the California-Oregon
Power company's ability t o Install
additional generating capacity in
reasonably small units as needed, at
an economical cost, the company will
be a very important contributor to
the pooled power resources of the
western states. Such pooling of pow
er through Interconnection means
that all territories served, whether
