Is now under consldea tlon aud will probably be presented at the library meeting to be held In the Chamber of Commerce offices at 7:30 tonnt. The proposition Is to buy the resi dence properly of A. C. Marsters lo cated on Hose street between the Perkins building and the Central Garage and use the property for a rest park and the building for li brary purposes. It Is believed tbut this can be done Willi much less ef fort than would be necessary to se cure money for a library building alone. The site Is Idenlly located, It Is on ly a few feet off Cups street and only a block from the center of town. The residence building Is surrounded hy a beautiful lawn and park which would be admirably suited for the rest park which Roseburg needs so badly. The building could be made over for library purposes with but Utile expense. The downstairs floor Is well arranged and with little altera tion could be used for reading rooms, librarian's offices, and other pur poses. Hy removing a few parti tions upstairs a fine auditorium could be secured. The arrangement Is ideal for such a purpose and all al terations could be made with little expense and a fine building ob tained. The property can be purchased for $10,000. possibly less. The house It self is worth more than half that amount, while the lot Is of great value. The alterations would not cost more than $1,000 it Is believed and a fine park and library biilldlnx could he secured for around 112.000 at the most. In preparing plans for the building previously advocated, the cost was estimated at $14,000. so thut a saving of $i.000 can be ef fected and at the same time a double purpose can be served. The committee now has almost 8.0ii0 on hand. The present site could be sold. If the donors are fav orable, for possibly another $2,0im so that there would be only a small amount to raise, which could be easi ly done by popular subscription. Hoseburg needs a rest park almost as much as a library. There Is no place In the city where a stranger or vlaluir may go for a rest while in the city. The Marsters site Is per fe. t for this purposH. There are sev eral beautiful tries, affording shade I on the holiest day. Ihere Is a 1,1" lawn, many shrnlis, flowers and ros, s, which would mane tne piace most tieautirul. The erection of small concrete lavatories for public use would cost llltle and a pnrk worth many times its cost would be the city's properly. This proposition, It Is belloved, would serve a two-fold fcurpose, and fill two long-felt wants, lir. Mars ers will sell the property for f I o.nnf for library purnoses and It Is very probable that the project will meet wllh favor.

Considering Roseburg as Distribution Point ROADS ARE BIG FACTOR Road Program Putting City in Center of Southern Oregon District One of Reasons for Installation Here I The Moline farm Implement com pany which In the past has stored their Implements for Oregon distri bution In Portland, Is considering lo cating a ware ho ii so for distribution lo the southern Oregon district. In Roseburg, according to advices re ceived by Claude K. Panning, mana Fer of the Douglas county Farm Bu reau co-operative exchange, who han dles Ihe .Moline line In this territory. The compuny Is creating two ware house districts ill the stale, outside of Portland. In order to arrange eas ier distribution and also with a view ot Increasing service, and giving a lower price of farm machinery and equipment. Roseburg lias been chosen for a distributing point In southern Oregon and La Grande lu eastern Oregon. Approximately $120,000 to $150, Ono worth of Implements, farm ma chinery and repair parts will be car ried In tho warehouses and will be received hero direct from the eastern factory. Machinery can he shipped from the factory lo Roseburg as cheaply as from the factory to Portland. The freight rate, however, from Portland to any point south of Eugene Is greater than the freight rate from Roseburg to that point. Consequent ly by distributing from Roseburg to southern Oregon points a consider able saving can be made on freight. It Is the slated policy of the Moline company to reduce Ihe overhead to tho lowest potfllilo point anil Ihe warehouse here Is for that purpose. Mr. Manning states that Roseburg was selected for the distributing point because of Ihe large volume of business which has been done here for the past two years. The sales here of Moline Implements were fifth out of foriy-slx agencies In the north west In volume. This fail, coupled with the great road Improvement program in the muntv. which has linked Itoseburg with all coast points and will eventually lead to eastern Oregon, makes the city the logical place for a distribution point to all southern Oregon. Facilities for taking earn of tho stock have been arranged for and Mr. Panning believes that It will only be a few days until this matter Is satisfactorily closed. The warehouse at Portlsnd usually carries about $HOO.O00 worth of stock and the decision to create dis tributing renters at Hoseburg and I a Grande means additional facll tlei for service in the state. The Roseburg Rod and Gun club held a very successful meeting and banquet last night at the K. P. lodge hall. Because of the fact that most of the sportsmen are members of the Elks lodge and desired to attend the Initiation which was held last night, the banquet program was cut short. Ilefore and during the meal mitsta was furnished by Ihe Umpqua Five orchestra. All speeches were declar ed taboo and Ihe sportsmen turned directly lo the business of the organ ilnllon. It was decided lo hold a turkey shoot on the Sunday before Thanks giving. The sportsmen have re ceived many Inquiries regarding such a shoot and there will be a great deal of Interest It Is believed. The ablution for a shorter deer season and a limit of one deer was discussed and the sportsmen spoke In favor ot a shorter season hut are; opposed lo cutting down the limit. Th y are willing to have the season changed to cut down fire danger and to save the deer, but are not In fav or of reducing the limit of deer to be killed during the season as they be lieve, that each hunter should be en titled lo at least two bucks. The club went on record aa being In fnvor of winlor band concerts and pledged Its support to the band in every possible way. It was voied to contribute $20 to the band's ex penses. The band is endeavoring through the various organizations of the city, to secure funds enough to take care of Its winter expenses so that winter concerts may be present ed. The sportsmen were heartily In favor of the plans as presented by the band members and pledged full support. After the banquet was served the rlrls who served Ihe sMirtsmen at the tables, found a very liberal sum waiting for them in thn form of tips snd to show their appreciation of the band and Its work, and their desire to co-operate In every possible way, tho waitresses donated the money given them for their services to tho bund through the Rod and Gun club. The meeting was very successful from every standpoint and was great ly enjoyed hy all of the members. As the Income tax measure, which Is to be voted upon at the coming election. Is of much Interest lo many of tho members, a straw vote was taken to determine the attitude ot I hose presetil towards the hill. Thn matter was submitted without dis cussion or argument and In a secret ballot the vote stood 38 no and 5 yes.
