Grove Thureday, Aug. 30.
Thursday. August SO. is the day set
for the regular monthly picnic of the
farmers nnd business men of Douglas
county. Thursday was adopted as the
clay because of the fact that many of
the merchants of Roseburg found It
inconvenient to attend these- picnics
of Saturday, owing to the fnct that the
latter day is the large trading day
for the city. . .
The picnic will be held In Hutton's
drove in Garden Valley, on the banks
of the North Uuipqua. a, beautiful lo
cation and one easily reached by cars.
It is expected that every merchant
in Roseburg will bo present at this
picnic, and the large majority of the
farmers of the county will undoubted
ly be present, as the threshing and
baling of hay will be about completed,
and it will not yet be time to get busy
In the fruit crops.
The chief speakers for this oc
casion will be Judge Hamilton, presi
dent of the Roseburg Chamber of
Commerce, who will speak on "Co
operation Between the City and Coun
try Dweller." and District Attorney
George Neuner who will speak on the
new selling organization being devel
oped to stimulate the marketing of
prunes.
Everyone Is Invited to attend the
nlcnie and eniov a good time, a basket
dinner will be held at noon. "All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
is the slogan adopted for these month

The city council last night had a
very busy session which continued
until a late hour at night. All of
the councilmen were present and
several very lively discussions took
place. In addition to bridge matters
and tho fire commissioner's report,
the council considered a great many
routine matters.
Rapp BrotbVrs requested permis
sion to hang an electric sign across
the street In front of their garage
on Cass street. This matter was re
ferred to the light committee.
Contractor Metzeer stated that a
place to dump dirt near the job had
been found and he agreed to cut his
bid on the Kane street paving J1S0.
I'pon this cut the residents of the
district, represented ly Colonel Day.
Informed the council they were
ready to accept the bid.
A petition from Laurelwood resi
dents, asking for the Installation of
electric lights, was referred to the
light committee with power to act.
The petition of the Hamilton heirs
to be allowed to lay a private sewer
under the center of Kane street be
fore the street Is paved, was granted.
-Councilman Shambrook reported
that he had Investigated the price
of a town clock and that it would
pst somewhere between $2,000 nnd
$2,500 exclusive of the tower. Other
members of the committee asked for
further time to report.
Councilman Shambrook called at
tention to the demand for a sewer
along the river, carrying all sewage
from the cltv downstream beyond
the cltv limits. He said that the
city will he forced to expend a huge
sum of money within tln next few
vears to build this sewer Into which
lull nf the mnln Hewers of the city
will connect.
Councilman Kohlhngen Intimated
that this matter was brought up a
a "trump" to block the Umpqua
Park bridge program, but Mayor
Rice airreed with Councilman Shnm-
brook thnt this mntter must be con
sidered bv the council. He said
that the Klks lodge is planning on a
park a Farquar's Island and that
before this park Is onened to the
public some steps to dispose of the
city's sewerage at a point below the
Island would have to be taken. He
stated that be has been endeavoring
to hold off this project until some
of the" other plans of the council
have been disposed of. and hopes
that the budget committee will
make some provision next year, and
tlKit additions to the fund may be
made from the budget yearly until
enough money Is on hand. It will
probably cost In the neignoornooa
of $50,000 to build the huge sewer
which will be necessary.

SEATTLE
The city council last night took
steps to condemn the Roseburg
Apartment bouse, and Instructed the
city recorder to notify the owner
that until he compiles with the or
ders of the state fire marshal the
city will continue to condemn the
building as an unsafe place for per
sons to reside. In the eveut the
fire marshal cannot force the vaca
tion of the building, or Its Improve
ment, the city will very probably
post a public sign In front of the
building disclaiming any liability on
the part of the ctty.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the council by Council
man Seely, chairman of tho board or
fire commissioners, who. reported
that the stute fire marshal has
claimed the building to be unsafe
and Is preparing to force the owners
either to repair It so that it will be
In safe condition or else close it to
the public. He desires the backing
of the city council. It was stated, and
promised thnt Immediately upon re
ceipt of word of the council's ac
tion, he woulu proceed to take steps
to enrry out the slate department's
plans. . .The building, it Is claimed.
Is not only a fire menace., hut its
foundations are not good nlid it is
in a very bad condition. If the city
fnlled to condemn the building, fol
lowing the fire mnrshnl's recommen
dation, and a disaster occurred, such
as recently took place in Klamath
Falls, in which n number of lives
were lost, the city could he held
liable for damages. Klamath Fulls
is now being sued for amounts to
taling more than $35,000 as a result
of the failure of the council there to
act upon the recommendation of
the tire marshal.
It was also stated that tho fire
marshal, and commissioners found
many other hazards In the c.itv, some
pertaining to open fires in the busi
ness district and to improper hand
ling of gasoline and chemicals used
in cleaning establishments. It was
recommended that the fire chief,
who is also day truck driver, be
given one day off each month, in
order to check up on these risks nnd
to notify the property owners thnt
they must eliminate the hazards. He
will be given time to follow up his
orders and trrstnictlons nnd see that
thev are enforced and will have the
backing of the board of fire com
mltsloners nnd council.
It Is also planned to accept the
state workmen's compensation act
for the members of the fire depart
nient. street force, nnd possibly the
the police department. It was
shown that the cost to the city will
amount to around $:'00 to $300 per
vear for Its employes and thnt on
accident would cost the city much
more than this sum. as any fireman
Injured would have the rlcht to re
cover damages from the cltv for In
juries sustained, and If crippled or
ould ne
oss. In the
event of a fireman being killed, de
nondVnt relatives could recover a
lanre sum In the form of damages.
Tbe finance committee was In
structed to make an ln"est!gatlon of
the cost of putting all of the city
employees under tho insurance act
The cost will be reported st the
next meeting and action will be
taken at that time.

SEATTLE, Aug. 21. The cruiser

steps should be taken soon to nulla
a road to It so that the gravel might
become available.
It was also reported that many
complaints had been received re
garding the city water supply
but that the odor and bad taste ex
isting for a few davs . had been
traced to moss floating down the
river. U was explained that this

preliminaries.
The city council last night took
stens to start the lTnipo.ua Vrk
bridge projwt moving, by petitioning
Hie Public Service Commission to
grant an overhead crossing over the
Southern Pacific company tracks. The
crossing will probably be asked at the
extension of South street, as it Is pro
mised to build the bridge from the In
tersection of Mill and South Streets.
In a south westerly direction across
the river. This site Is now being
given the official consideration of the
council as it is believed that the
bridge can be constructed at less ex
pense at that sito than afthe pro-
nosed site Just below the dam.
, Engineer Eppsteln reported to the
council last night that he has made
a rough Investigation of both the
upper and lower sites and believes
hat the lower site is the best for the
city.
A bridge at South street, would
not be as long as at the upper site
hut more amiroaeh would be needed.
The entire structure, would bo about
S00 feet long.
Tin re would be about 160 feet of
low approach, a sixty foot trestle over
the railroad tracks, 20 teet or iresue
work 40 feet high and three 3U tool
spans and 80 feet of approach on the
west end. The bridge would have a
jrade of about 5 per cent ami would
be of the deck type.
The upper liridge would be (124
'eel long. There would be three
foot trusses and one 120 foot span,
with two short approaches at each
end.
At the lower site the three main
trusses would be 1119 feet long and at
'he upper site they would be 150 feet
lone. This makes the main part of the
bridge at the South Street site much
ess expensive. Trusses cost a great
leal more than trestles the engineer
reports and the tart that tne upper
bridge would take three long spans
ind one shorter one, more than on
sets the extra approaches at tne
South street site.
Mr. Eppsteln said that he had not
vet had time to complete his esti
mates and so could not state exactly
the cost of the bridge, but asked
which site to prepare the plan for.
It waa agreed to adopt tne houui
street nlan and so he will Immediate
ly pet out the rougn diagram ana i
estimate the cost of the structure ana
advise tho council nt Its next meet
ing. There was considerable talk con
cerning the bridge and the Chamber
if Commerce resolution was present
ed. The Chamber of Commerce was
represented by a large committee and
the resolution was presented by At
torney M. V. Rice.
Attorney Neuner also spoke in
'nvor of the bridge, asking the coun
"II to refer the matter to a vote of
'he people at the coming special elec
lon. If additional funds are needed.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Ang. 21.
Thousands of American farmers will
go bankrupt with wheat selling at
considerably less than cost of pro
duction. Secretary Wallace declared
today, while thousands of others will
be able to hold on only by the most
grinding erouoiny. If the present
plane of prices or commodities other
than agricultural la to be inalut&lned,
he added, then to have general pros
perity, prices of, farm products must
be increased.
Eastern railroads could help by
making substantial reductions In
freight rates on agricultural prod
ucts, especially If destined for e
port, Mr. Wallace asserted, pointing
out. however, that until agriculture.
Industry and commerce are brought
into a more normal relationship,
acute agricultural problems will de
velop, ono after the other.
Not a New Disease.
The ruinously low prices of wheat
la not a now agricultural disease."
said the secretary In a statement. "It
Is just one mora acute symptom of
the general trouble from which agri
culture is suffering. The disease It
self Is the distorted relationship be
tween prices of farm products and
prices of other commodities.
"The sooner the people engaged In
commerce and Industry frankly rec
ognize the trouble, the better It "will
be for all of us. The farmer could
get along fnlrly well with present
prices of which he has to sell If prices
of what he must buy were down ac
cordingly. But prices nf other things
remain high; that Is what hurts.
'Wages In industry and on the rail-
roadH are almost twice as high as be
fore the war. The taxes are about
twice as high. Freight rates are from
50 to 75 per cent higher. Motals.
building materials of all kinds aro
from 50 to 100 per cent above pre-war
prices. All of these are items in the
farmers' cost of production. ITntll a
fair relationship Is restored between
agriculture and industry and com
merce, agriculture will be upset and
will have reason to complain.
Price Fixing Discussed.
"Tho pressing question is 'what can
be done to help the wheat growers
get more nenrly the cost of production
for this year's crop? Some urge that
the government ought to fix a fair
price. That could be done only by
the government preparing to buy un
limited quantities ut the price fixed.
Others suggest thnt the government
go into the market and buy 2i)0.00(),
000 bushels of wheat and store It, on
the theory that the taking off the
market of that quantity would send up
the price to a fair figure.
"I am not hopeful of good results
from either of these pluns. How could
the government dlsHse of the sur
nliia accumulated? Whnt effect wo'ild
either action have on wheat acreage?
Whnt effect would It have on tho
acreage and price of other gtnlrs nnd
of livestock? Would tho same pol
icy be adopted In case nf ruinously
low prices for other farm products?
The wheat situation Is bad enough in
all consclenee, and certainly the ma
jority of our peoplo would favor any
practical method of helping, but wo
ought to he reasonably sure that the
remedy attempted will do the farmer
more good than harm and will not
tniike our situation worse Instead of
better.
"Whether these acute conditions
might be relieved If tho government
should set up an agency with large
authority to handle our surplus farm
products in its discretion and provide
It with ample lutnls, I do not know.
I do not believe any ono knows."
Situation Very Difficult.
The low price of wheat this year
will bring some reduction In acreage,
Mr. Wullace predicted, adding thnt
"It Is a terribly hard situation for the
Individual, hut those who remain will
be benefited."
In reference to the export situation,
he said:
'. gradual decline In our exports of
meat Is to he expected.
We cannot hope lo keep them at the
high rate of recent years. But these
exisirts are not going to vanish over
night. Europe will continue to buy
large quantities of us for some time."
