The Reedsport highway, however,
gives them an outlet during the win
ter, and hundreds of acres which
formerly have produced nothing but
hay, will be devoted to broccoli in the
future. This land is very fertile,
and broccoli doubtless can be grown
with great succees iu that section.
CARD OF THANKS
stated that it is the opinion of the
company that Koseburg should parti
cipate In this enteprise. The bene
fits If oil is found, would be great,
and the Roseburg people would take
an Interest In the project bv purchas
ing stock and aiding in the financ
ing or the undertaking, it was elated.
A proposal was made that Rose
burg take over the drilling operations
entirely, that a local company be
formed, and that the drilling be car
ried on under the direction of the
Roseburg organization.
The business men of Roseburg are
deeply lntereeted In oil prospects of
-this vicinity, but did not caie to go
Into the situation without a most
thorough examination and investiga
tion. Consequently several meet
ings were held and an organization
perfected, or which J. K. McCllntot-k

Mr. J. E. McCllntock, Chairman,
Roseburg, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
We, the committee appointed by
you at a recent meeting of citizens of
this community, to investigate the
project of the Roseburg Oil and Gas
Company, and the feasibility of rais
ing Hufficient funds for the comple
tion of a test well, beg to advise:
We have carefully Investigated and
advised with many of our business
men and citizens and after careful de
liberation are of the opinion that suf
ficient funds to guarantee the com
pletion of the proposedi well can not
be secured among our people at this
time.

company was seeking to collect for
merchandise alleged to have been
sold to the defendant. Attorney Carl
Wimborly nppenred for the plaintiffs
and Attorney O. S. Brown for the de
fense. The court then took up the case of
W. L. Barton nRaiiiBt O. S. Brown, a
suit for money. This case was heard
on a demurrer, and will be brought
to trial at an adjourned term to be
held on March 10.
Judge Hamilton announced this
morning that he will adjourn court on
Monday until March 10, at which
time the Kelllngton case. In which
the charge of manslaughter Is held
ngalnet Fred Kellington, will be
heard. The Kellington case will be
followed by the trial of F. L. Yar
bough of Reedsport, charged with a
statutory offense, and by the state's
case against Col Reed, an appeal
from the Justice court, where the de
fendant woe found guilty of selling
intoxicating liquor.

was willing to help lay the founds
tion for impeachment proceedings to
get Mr. Daugherty out of the cabin
et. The senator's offer was made dur
ing a general debate In which the
position taken by the republican seri
ate leaders, who have demanded Mr.
Daugherty'g immediate- retirement,
was defended by democratic leader
Robinson, who declared republican
national Chairman Adams, by taking
an opposing position, had sought only
to confuse the Issue.
"Mr. Daugherty should realize,"
said Senator Borah, "there are times
when a man must make personal
sacrifices for the public good. I have
no present Interest in the charges!
made against him, but the situation
calls for a man at tne head of that
department of transcenden ability,
physical health and vigor and hold

Justice as the key to the whole situa
tion as It now Ilea. It must be ap
parent that legal proceedings must
lie hnd not only for recovery of
property but for the punishment of
Kullty persona, not only In the oil j
the veteran's bureau, alien property
lease cases, but in those relating to
and other matters. Its merely a
matter of public duly to try to get
at the head of the department for
handling these matters a man who
has the public confidence.
"The greatest evil flowing from
the matter under Investigation for
the past seven weeks has not been
the loss of some oil or the possible
escape of one or more guilty persons.
It is that from center to circumfer
ence the people have come to doubt
the efficiency, competency. If not
the cleanliness of their goveiment.
Kvery senator should be roady to
sacriftoe not only his' party, but
himself to correct the situation.'
The only way for the senate to
act, he Bald, was by Impeachment
and he added that he was willing
to join with anyone In laying the
foundation for such action.

General Daugherty, Senator lleflln,

Senator Borah asserted that re
sponsibility for keeping the Attorney
General in the cabinet now rests
squarely upon the shoulders of Pres

of Chairman Adam's statement re

Robinson sulci, hnd been to bring In
to the open the conflict between
the republican organization and the
senate leaders of the party." He
quoted Mr. Daugherty's recent open

SLAYER TELLS
ALL HIS PLANS
(continued from puge one)
to tho patient yesterday, bringing
with her the buby, Laura Ryberg,
leu mouths old.
EVERETT. Feb. 23. Formal
charges of murder In the first de
gree will be filed Monday morning
in wiperlor court agalusL Carl Ky
berg, who Is declared to have admit
ted lute yenterduy, the killing of Mrs.
Laura Mummey of Seattle Heights,
an attack on her husband and tho
burning of their home.
These are the plans of C. Itosce,
prosecuting attorney, he announced
today. In the meantime, James Mc
culloch. Snohomish county sheriff.
Is at the scene of Iruxedy, making
a thorough search of the ashes of the
.Mummey home to make certain they
concealed no more bones.
Churles Fickle, coroner, this morn
ing, declured he was certain that the
bones already found are those of
Mrs. Mummey. They were discovered,
he said, beneath that part of the
house where the statements of Mum
mey, Ryberg and a neighbor Indi
cate she was lying while Hie house
was burning. Ryberg, according to
the sheriff, after his purported con
fession told him that upon his re
turn to Seattle he had written to
his mother In the east suying he
had done "something that wus wrong
in one way and right In another.'
He added, gayi, the sheriff, "I
know mother will worry about thut
Btntement."
Records here show that Carl Ry
berg was booked at the county Jail
April 1 4, 1923, and released April
2H upon court order that he puy
$40 a month alimony to his former
wile, Margaret Poulson and minor
child. His former wire was Mrs.
Mummey'a granddaughter.
Ryberg had confessed.
Mummey seemed taken aback al
Dr. Mason's declaration.
After a few moments silence, Mr.
Mummey said:
"It mU;ht have been Ryberg."
When Dr. Mason related that part
of the statement In which Ryberg
was reported as saying that the
prisoner had wrested the shotgun
from Mr. Mummey, the patient ejacu
lated feebly, but earnestly:
"That's a He."
Ryberg confessed amid a flood of
tears Sheriff McCulloch declared to
day and after the revelations were
ended, said :
'I feel better. I'm glad It's all
over."
Mr. McCulloch said that he
thought Mr. Mummey In accusln
Mr. Weaver, had been under an II
lusion arising from the fart that Ry
berg had come up as he lay by ttv
pool and a mental vision at that
time had been transferred to an
earlier moment In the mind of the
Injured man.
Dr. Mason reported that his pa
tient, who is thought to be making a
promising fUiht for life, was not so
well yesterday. This set-bark w
attributed to excitement resulting
from a vMt that Mrs. Venison made
