HORSESHOE PEGGERS
WILL ORGANIZE NEW
"NATIONAL LEAGUE
(International News Service.)
DES MOINES, Iowa, July 12.
Horseshoe pitching, that delicate art
Indulged in an unorganized fashion
for years back of barnsr on the front
lawn and in the open prairies, soon
is to be put on a strongly organized
national basis.
A "national lengue" of horseshoe
pitchers, or something to that effect,
is about to be formed.
Consolidation of the various horseshoe-pitching
associations now in ex
istence is to be effected at a conven
tion of the quoit peggers in Des
Moines during the Iowa State Fair
August 28 to September 1. In con
nection wilh the assemblage of Haw
keye ruralities will be held the na
tional horseshoe-pitching tournament,
and while all the crack casters of the
iron shoes are here the matter of one
big national organization will be set
tled. It is estimated that there are ap
proximately 1.000,000 men and women
horseshoe players in America today.
In every state In the union horse
shoe pitching is going on furiously,
and while there Is no Immediate dan
ger that this gam will supplant base
ball as the national pastime, horse
shoes have become so popular that It
has been deemed advisable to estab
lish, on a self-sustaining basis, a cen
tral and controlling body, reorganized
as Ihe "notional organization," devot
ed to the welfare of the ancient and
honorable game of horseshoe tossing.

DRUGGISTS GO TO
RIDDLE TODAY
Picnic and Outing Feature of
State Convention Program
This Afternoon.
WILL DANCE TONIGHT
Senator Kddy Speaks to Convention
Today and Commends Druggists
for CxvOperation in Enforc
ing the State Ijims.
The druggists' convention entered
its second day with an increased at
tendance and a great deal of enthus
iasm. Many druggists, traveling by
auto, arrived last night, swelling the
number of visiting delegates to the
200 mark. The hotel accommoda
tions In the city were full and over
flowing last night, and private homes
were called into use, not only for the
accommodation of visiting drugglBts
and their wives, but In several cases
to find rooms for tourists who were
unable to find beds in hotels or room
ing houses.
Roseburg people have again proven
their hospitality by throwing open
their homes "and a large number of
the visitors ore being entertained in
the private homes of the city, and
they greatly appreciate this act on
the part of the Roseburg people.
The druggists greatly enjoyed last
night's entertainment when they
were the guests of the local commit
tee at the dance given at the Armory.
This dance, with the "Seven Serenad
es" dance orchestra furnishing the
music, was one of the most successful
of the season, and the visitors were
charmed with the entertainment,
while their gaiety added to the plea
sure of the occasion, and made the
event all the more enjoyable for the
local residents.
Today's -entorfrrtinent consists of
a day of sport. The druggists took
autos at the Unrpqua lrotel at one
o'clock and went to Kiddie, where
there will be a genuine old-fashioned
picnic. The afternoon was given over
to sports, with a baseball game,
races, athletic contests, etc. The pro
gram for the day concludes with a
dance at the Riddle pavilion this eve
ning. A big picnic dinner will be
served this evening by the ladles,
who are making arrangements to
make this feature one of the best of
the convention. All delegates were
warned to wear old cjothlng on this
event for a real, live time was ex
pected. The morning was given over large
ly to business. The session convened
at the Elks' hall where all of the bus
iness sessions are being held. He
ports of the secretary and the treas
urer were given, followed by the re
ports of the standing committees.
Dean A. Zlefle, of the school of
pharmacy at the Oregon Agricultural
college, gave an interesting talk, re
porting the progress being made at
the school. The druggists were par
ticularly Interested in this address,
and were greatly pleased by the fine
report and the excellent progress
which the state college Is making in
this line. The report shows an in
creasing interest in pharmacy, and
the nunuher of graduates is constant
ly growing.
Senator B. L. Eddy made a very
Interesting and well-received address
on the subject of "Legislation," deal
ing particularly with those matters
referring directly to the druggist
trade. He complimented the drug
gists for their excellent and appre
ciated co-operation In assisting the
state officers In enforcement of the
narcotic and liquor laws of the state,
... .. ,,rrt
His address was very well delivered
and the druggists were well-pleased.
Governor Ben V. Olcott, who was
supposed to be present, was unable to
be here to deliver his address on the
narcotic situation In Oregon and, con
sequently, this address was omitted
from the program. The governor is
on his way back from the Roosevelt
Highway conference at Crescent City
and is making the return trip by way
of eastern Oregon.

TOUGH BEARD OR

THE QUESTION
(tnternntinnal Newa Service.)
FORT WORTH. Texas, July 12.
Call for Mr. Solomon!
The Seventh District Court must de
cide whether S. E. Houtchens, of this
city wears a tough, obstinate beard
or whether he attacks said beard with
a faulty razor.
Houtchens bought the razor from a
barber supply rompirny. But alas,
when he arose happy next morning his
day waa utterly ruined at the begin
ning, for either the blade wouldn't cut
or else the beard refused to be cut
bya novice Instrument.
Houtchens filed suit In Justice of
the Peace McCain's court, alleging
that the razor was 111 mannered, caus
ed his face extreme misery and was
anything but the nice, gentle razor the
company claimed for It when sold.
The lower court gave Houtchens
iudKinent of $4 the company having to
oay costs of 12 60. The law does not
permit anwppeal to be taken to the
district court, when the amount In
volved Is less than $20. but Ihe barber
supply company was not discouraged,
and asked for an Injunction restrain
ing payment of the judgment, alleging
in Its appeal that Houtchens took the
razor home and without sharpening It
Introduced It to his wiry whiskers. A
temporary Injunction was granted.

UMPQUA PARK
PROJECT 18
PETITION
Fullerton Street Site Is Given
Petitions Which Will Soon
And to the
A petition was put In circulation
today and was freely signed renew
ing the project for a bridge to limp
qua Park Addition at tins foot of
Kullerton street. A project which
has long been under Consideration
and which now apparently has the
unanimous support of practically all
rvHJcleuts of the addition and of the
city. The project as revived calls
for the construction of a bridge at
the foot of Fullerton street and
would open up all of that section
commonly known as Alexander's
addition, but which on the plut Is
known us Umpqua Park Addition to
the City of Roseburg. It is under
stood that the project has the ap
proval of most of the members of
the council and that the city Is wil
ling to cooperate at this time in the
construction of the proposed bridge,
providing the county will bear its
share lot the expense.
If Ihs bridge is built Roseburg
will receive as a donation one of
Ihe fluest park sites ill the north
west, the park being a donation
from 3. D. Evans of Roseburg and
the IT. S. National Bank of Portland.
The park site is easily worth many
thousands of dollars more than the
cost of the bridge, for within a
few years It will be beyond question
one wf the finest spots to be found
lu the state.
Mr. Evans and the bank are ready
to donate the park site as soon aB
the bridge is built and the location
of the structure makes little differ
ence. "1 don't care where they build
the bridge or how many they build"
Mr. Evans told a News-Review rep
resentative this morning. "As soon
as a bridge is built the city can have
t Impark without question or delay."
This project is one of long stand
ing. Nearly eveyone Is acquainted
with fhe history of the rase.
James C. Alexander came to Rose
burg a number of years ago and
bought the land known as Umpqua
Park Addition and constructed a
private bridge to it. He had the
land platted and sold much of It
in building lots. He lost money on
the property and finally left Rose
burg allowing the creditors to fore
close on the land. Mr. 8. I). Evans
held the mortgage and a short time
ago foreclosed and gained title to
the property. Mr. Alexander's
bridge collapsed and was removed
and immediately a proposition was
started for a new bridge.
The city's application for a grade
crossing was Opposed liy the rail
road company which stated that It
Is planning to Increuse Its yards and
that It proposes to put nbotU four
spur trucks there and that a grade
crossing would wtnrk a hardship on
the company and would prove dang
erous to pedestrians.
The city council refused to oppose
the rallrhad company, which to date,
however, has made no move to Im
prove the property. The project was
dropped then and the Fullerton
street proposal bdought to the front.
There came up a squabble about
rights of way and the entire matter
was delayed, in the meantime the
residents built a foot-bridge at the
old site and the county court prom
ised a road up the west side of the
river, but nothing has been done
there as yet.
