The Roseburg and Douglas County
Merchants' association at a meeting
this morning in the city hall passed
resolutions announcing a stand of ab
solute neutrality concerning the local
strike situation and agreeing to sell
to anyone wishing to purchase mer
chandise. The meeting was called at
the request of the Southern Pacific
officials, who were present and pre
sented their side of the case.
D. 8. Weir, assistant superinten
dent of the Southern Pacific, and L.
B. Moore, local S. P. agent, addressed
the meeting. Both gentlemen de
clared that It was , necessary that
Roseburg merchants open their doors
and sell to Southern Paclfio employes
who are taking the places of the
strikers. "The railroad company
must operate," said Mr. Moore, "and
If we cannot obtain the necessary co
operation In Roseburg tt will force
the company to move the terminal
elsewhere."
In speaking of the local situation.
Mr. Weir said: "We have been very
patient concerning aondltions here.
We have maintained quarters for the
men in the yards at an expense or
$10,000 a month. The company does
not feel that this can continue and
we are simply asking the Roseburg
merchants not to discriminate and
allow our men to purchase here and
make their permanent homes - in
Roseburg.- The' Portland division, is
now about 92 per cent normal 1n the
number of men employes. Several of
the strikers have returned to work
and our doors are open to any of the
men who have not been too active
against the company during the
strike. These' men must live and we
want them to buy in Roseburg. It Is
now up to Roseburg merchants to say
whether they are going to sell to
them or not. J
A large number of Roseburg mer
chants were then called upon by Pres
ident A. C. Marsters, and nearly all
of them expressed a neutral position
and a desire to sell to anyone who
has the money to buy with, providing
they conducted themselves aa good
citlzena. '
A resolution was introduced stating
that Roseburg merchants would
thenceforth sell to anyone, maintain
a neutral position and ahow no dis
crimination. The resolution 1 was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. Weir and Mr. Moore stated that
shortly the shop employes will be
forced to secure homes here and buy
supplies of local merchants, and they
were pleased to find the merchants
willing to co-operate with the com
pany. ' 1 '. i ' -
"The Southern Pacific payroll In
Roseburg Is $100,000 cash - each
month, about 60 per cent of that
amount remaining here," said Mr.
Weir. "Roseburg needs that payroll
and the Southern Pacific does, not
wish to move the terminal."

. Roseburg will need a new school
building within the next two years If
the school enrollment Increases as lt
has for the last few years.
This year's enrollment will reach
almost 100 more than last year, It la
predicted, and with all of the school
buildings crowded to capacity now, a
similar, growth next year will mean
that the city must provide additional
room. At the present time the enroll
ment Is 1,157 but with the completion
of the prune harvest, many more
children who are now working In the
orchards will return to school, and it
Is expected that the total enrollment
will go well over 1200 pupils.
. The first week saw a substantial
gain in .enrollment. Schools opened
with 1,069 pupils, but this number
has been growing steadily,- and the
principals of the various schools filed
their report yesterday, showing a
gain to 1,157. Tho high-school now
has 373 pupils, compared with 835
reported at the same time last year.
Twenty-five new desks have been or
dered to accommodate the increased
enrollment, as the present seating
capacity Is too small, '
' The Rose school can accommodate
about 50 more nunlla. There are 340
enrolled there so far, and nearly all
pupils coming In during the rest of
the semester will be sent to the Rose
achoolv . ' - , 1 ,. .
-. The Benson school is, crowded to
the limit. .There are 333 pupils the
and all available! seals are taken. The
same condition prevails at tha Fuller
ton school, where 111 pupils are en
rolled. . I'O-i '." .)' i . '' I
i. These, figures plainly .show that
Roseburg 'must begin, planning for a
new school building .The suggestion
has been- made. that a junior high
school be built - At the present time
pupils In the seventh and .eighth
grades are given departmental .work
and are taught on the same system as
is used in the high-school except that
the. method is simplified to meet the
sges of the pupils.. ..i
. A well-equipped Junior high-school,
centrally located) would accommodate
all of the seventh and eighth grade
pupils and: would alio the work to
be carried on in a much more success
ful manner, and at the same time
would make room for 4 he lower class
es In the present building. This sys
tem Is being used with great success
in a number of the cities of the coast.
, At present, the Roseburg schools
are operating smoothly and efficient
ly. In spite of the increase In enroll
ment tha progress Is a smooth and
efficient as at the closing of last year
and the prospects are that this will
be one of the most successful, school
years the city has ever known.
. All of the. teachers have found liv
ing quarters In the city and have pro
vided themselves . with room - and
board. City Superintendent Hamm
states that he desires to express his
thanks to the people of Roseburg for
opening up their homes to the, In.

A federal Inspector to pass upon the
grades of fruit shipped from the Ump
qua valley and to Issue certificates
to growers, will be located In Rose
burg during future crop movement
periods, according to Robert C. But
ner, supervising Inspector of the Food
Products Inspection service of the U.
8, Department of Agriculture. Mr.
Butner who has been associated with
the Bureau of Markets for a number
of years, is a brother of Foster But
ner, the well known broccoli grower
of this community, and is enjoying a
short visit with his brother while in
this state on official business.
The state of Oregon, according to
Mr. Butner, has signed an agreement
with the Bureau of Markets, whereby
the state is to cooperate in the ex
pense of inspecting fruit shipments at
the shipping point and this will per
mit the bureau to locate men in the
fruit renters to aid the growers In.
their crop movements. At the pres
ent time Mr. Butner Is checking un on
the Umpqua valley crops with a pur
pose ot obtaining Information which
will assist the inspector and which
can be used by the bureau in placing
its men to the best advantage.
For the past five years the bureau
of markets has (nainutined an in
spection-on fruits and vegetables tn
the markets. No provisions were made
for Inspection at the shipping points.
but recently congress amended the
law so that at present the bureau can
make inspections at the shipping

W. 'A. Sherman, In charge of the de
partment ot fruits and vegetables, Is
In the slate with Mr. Butner and met
with theMtate.'board bf horticulture
at Salem' yesterday and reached the
agreement.' . c .,) ii
I (Under this system each grower who
desires can have his fruit Inspected
by a federal inspector of the Bureau
of Markets. This Inspector will make
report on the various grades and
conditions of fruit, and a certificate
will be Issued to the growers. ' If up
on shipment the fruit Is found to be
damaged in any way the grower will
be protected by the certificates Issued
him showing the exact condition In
which the fruit was shipped.
The state has formerly maintained
an Inspection and the certificates s-
suea . wr; gooa in state courts but
carried ' no weight ' In- the federal
eourtSwt The federal svstem nf in-
sprqtloh, however, wilt be recognlied
in both state and federal courts snd
will be protection to both the grower
and the person to whom the shipment
Is consigned. ,
There Is another great value to be
fatten Into consideration and that Is
Hie creation of a national, uniform
standard. Under state Inspection each
state baa lta own system ot grading;
and Its own standard. These did not'
always conform In every way to tha'
government standards. Under tha
federal system the grades will be uni
form and communities by careful ad- ,
herence to the standards set can build
up a reputation which will cause the
crops of that particular section to be
in great demand as a result of the
careful Inspection insuring uniform
quality.
The inspection will not be eommff'
sory In any way, but will be furnished
those growers who desire it. Doubt. .
less all of the fruit and vegetable
growers ot the Umpqua valley will be
pleased to know that federal Inspec
tion can be made ot their products
before shipment Is made to the east-
era or coast market centers.

Rain Will Be Aid
-. i to Prune Growers
- . i
The present rsln storm Is a decided
benefit to the prune crop unless It
continues for several days, prune
growers slate. The rain will loosen
tho fruit which so far has held to the
trees because of the dry weather. In
fact, the prunes have been sticking to
the trees even after ripening, and In
many cases have started to shrivel.
Bhskers have loosened the green fruit
and still failed lo shake off Ihe ripe
prunes, which often were torn loose,
stem and all.
The. rain, however, will ripen all
of the fruit and will cause the prunes
to fall from the trees. It will speed
up the hsrvest and will force prompt
ptrklng. but on the whole, will be
beneficial, lt Is slso beneficial for all
kinds of agriculture.
