However, the cltv will maintain Its "eauto camp grounds on the Oard- T"ell property immediately adjoin- the commercial grounds. The urchasera of the Wlmberly property ave granted the city permission to se the graveled roadways which are ne constructed and the free camp grounds will be made accessible in this way. This will give Incoming tourist the privilege of choosing either the free camp grounds or the commercial grounds and it is quite probable that a system of coopera tion will be worked out In the future so that a minimum fee can be charg ed for the privileges of the commer cial grounds even though tourists are camped on the city's property. Work of moving the Wiraborly residence and leveling and smoothing the camp grounds will be started at once. The Wlmberly house will be moved to the rear portion of the tract on which It is now situated and will be used for residence purposes, probably to accomodate some of the employees who will work about the camp grounds and service station. The present site of the bouse will be used for the Standard Oil company's service station. This station will be somewhat similar to the one now lo cated on South Stephens street. The beautiful gardens, hedges and shade trees surrounding the house, how ever, will be left Intact, as far as possible and expert gardeners will make this place one of tbe beauty spots of the city. A representative of the Standard Oil company, who is here making plans for the erection of the station, says that It will be yond question of doubt be the most beautiful Standard Oil station In the entire state and will compare well will the most attractive stations maintained by the company on the coast. The buildings will be of the same pattern and design as those now UBed at the Stephens street Btation, while the graveled driveways, bor dered by beautiful flowers and shrubs and the whole lot bounded by heavy hedges and shaded by tall trees will form a spot of exquisite beauty. , The camp grounds have also been laid out with the aim of bringing out the beauty to be found there. The grounds will be enlarged by opening up the rear portion of the property, giving fully 100 feet more In depth. The grounds are almost horseshoe shape and around the outer boundary will be provided the camp sites. The ground will be leveled and smoothed off and each camp site will be mark ed with tables and stands of perman ent construction. These camp sites will be between the outer boundary and a 'beautiful graveled driveway which will loave Jackson street Just south of the Stan dard Oil station and will follow the shape of the tract entirely around connecting up with the city's proper- William Jennings Bryan Will Make Race For Senate r jt t ly and reentering Jackson St., form-' lug an oval. In the center of the tract will be , an attractive little park, in which will be. situated the bath houses, laundry, and other buildings. Kour graveled paths will lead In from each direction connecting with the main graveled roadway. Around the park will be a flower garden nine feet in width, built In the form of a circle, cut only by the four paths, lietween the garden and the driveway will be additional camp sites. This arrange ment utilizes the best of the camping sites anil makes the best of the room afforded by the property. Approximately 60 camps can be ac comodated. This together with the J camp grounds to be maintained by the city will give ltoseburg facilities ror accomodating about 100 tourist parties each night. It is believed that this will be sufficient room as many will prefer to use the camp grounds which the state highway de partment is to maintain along the highway. There Is no doubt but that this commercial camp ground will add greatly to Roseburg's beauty as ev ery precaution will be taken to pre serve the natural beauties to be found there. The stroaiii is tpbe cleaned of refuse which has been dumped in it in past years, the un dergrowth Is to be cleared away and the large trees shown to the best ad vantage. All of the large shade trees around the Wlmberly property will be left and the fruit trees in the rear will not be touched except the few which will be cut away to make room for the house which Is to be moved to the back of the lot and remodeled. These changes will provide much shade and will preserve the attrac tiveness of the property. Experts in landscape gardening will lay out the gardens, hedges, etc. for the remain der of the grounds and will enhance the existing beauties by their addi tions. Commercial auto parks are a new things In the Northwest but have been found very practical In Califor nia -where they are to be frequently found. Most tourist parties prefer to pay the nominal fee which Is charged In order to obtain the bath and laundry privileges which the found quite enjoyable after hot dusty rides. The grounds are al ways kept carefully policed and at tendants are on hand to look after the needs of the tourist so that satis factory service is rendered In re turn for the small fee required.

LONDON, Feb. 13. The peril of lying in bed is one of tho latest Ideas of doctors. "Get up and move about," Is tho new prescription. Dr. R. F. Rowlands, surgeon to Guys hospital. Is tle apostle of the "don't He In bed too long" creed. He expounds It vigorously in the British Medical Journal. It is people who have undergone operations who are In peril lf they stay In bed too long. "It cheers a patient," states Dr. Rowlands, "to know that ho may move about as much as he liken In bed from the first, having the freedom of the room after four days, of the bath after sevwn 4 days, and may take short walks In the sunshine after ten days." Here are some of the bad eftects of lying in bud, as expounded by the doctor: . - The iuart beats loss forcibly. ' ' Breathing becomes. slower nnd shallower. Appetite fails. Digestion fails. Action of the intestines becomes sluggish. Muscles waste and lose tone. All these are reasons for not lying In bed. and Dr. Rowlands says that, as regards tho healing of wounds, years of observation have convinced him that complete rest Is unnecessary.

Break down of Henry l'eavey, Taylor's iioxru valet, under questioning, and a report that he had predicted Tay lor's murder, marked the hunt (or tho director's slayer today. Detectives are now agreeing that a man did the deed. William I'inker ton, head of the I'inkerton ngency, declared that the shooting was not "woman's style." The hunt seems concentrated again on Sands, tho missing butler. Run Down ( lues. LOS ANGKLKS. Feb. 12. Tho In vestigation of thu slaying of William Desmond Taylor, motion picture di rector, proceeded today with what chiefs of tire Inquiry described ss "a checking up of remote possibilities." Detectives of tho police department. district attorney's and sheriff s of fices were dispatched upoa a scow or more of mlsstonH of this kind and most of them had checked up before nightfall with the report that they had reached the blank wall which had been lvnched In every previous activity of Investigation. Thomas Lee Woolwino, district at- i toruey, said he had hem in touch iwltb most or tjm investigators our- 1 lug tho day, and felt that little prog ress hart ueen mnu", so i.ir ns an Indication of who actually fired the various groups of Investigators, but up to the present time have had ab solutely no report which gives any additional light." Both the district attorney nnd Cap tain David L. Adams, head of the Los Angeles police detective bureau, said tho man they were the most eager to find was Edward F. Sauds, foni.wly secretary and butler of Tavlor, who has been missing since last August. Captain Adams said ho thought there could bo no doubt now that Sands "is hiding for some good reason of his own." "We have sent out descriptions of this man which must by this time bo In tho hands of wvory police officer in the country, and probably the same descriptions have been printed in newspapers In even the remotest sections," the captain continued. "1 cannot for tho life of me see why h should remain in seclusion if he has nothing to relate about the Taylor caso. It Is true he was accused of grand larceny by Taylor and that we still have such a charge o'n fllo against him here, but he Is an intel ligent man and must know what the ultimate result Is upon the death of the complaining witness to a charge of such a character." . - o TEXTILE WORKERS PROTEST WAGE CUT (Hy imlted Press.)
