ROSEBURG, OREGON,
THE GROWTH OF
Gov. Smith of New York remarked, at a regional planning
conference recently, that the rapid centralization of population
in certain largo cities had "failed to enrich and conserve life foi
masses of people." Social students would probably say that the
larger cities have as a rule grown too fast. A lot of people, as the
result of such growth, are congested in crowded tenements,
where they get too little fresh air and light, too little play
chances for their children. Land becomes so valuable in con
gested centers that it is costly to erect homes. To offset this ex
pense people have to put up with more crowded conditions than
would have been necessary in a moderate sized city. Young men
often think that the chances for success are greater in a big
city. Yet unless they have some special talent or marked ability,
they are apt to find that they can't earn more than enough to
pay their added living expenses. The big cities will continue to
grow, since their thronging life appeals to many people. But
the young people should realize that the business chances are
usually better for ordinary people in a place like Roseburg. In
such a community industries can develop without having to pay
high costs based on the expensive living conditions of a con
gested center. The people can spread out. Those that appre
ciate room and air and light and play space and opportunity for
home enterprises, can find abundant opportunity for the same
at small cost. This produces a contented and hard working pop
ulation, who are steadily getting ahead of the game, and living
from year to year in a more comfortable way. A place of that
type is constantly producing good business opportunities.
Careless campers who leave their fires burning in the
woods or toss lighted cigar or cigarette stubs into the brush,
burned last season more tiniberland than was cut by all saw
mills in the country all year. The United States is thelargest
consumer of lumber in the world. It uses half the lumber,
more than half the paper, and about three-fifths of all the wood
consumed in the world. Reforestation has been recognized for
years as one of the great necessities. Something is being ac
complished in this direction. But forest fires at present wipe
out much more timber every year than is being regrovn. Records
kept by the forest service show that every year the area of for
est land swept by fire is about twice as great as the area cut
over by logging operations. Four-fifths of the fires each year
are man made. They might be prevented by the exercise ol
ordinary care. Most of them start from hot coals left by camp
ers or picnickers or from lighted cigarette butts, and some of
them come through carelessness of settlers in burning up stump
piles and brush heaps. The burned-over acreage is largely cut-
over lands, which reduces the monetary loss but the potential
destruction is nevertheless, terrific, for the fires on the cut-over
acreage destroy the seeds and young growth that would re
forest the land. The forestry service says the first important
step in reforestation is to start the growth on the cut-over land,
and on much of this land "effective protection against fire will
be all that is necessary for this purpose."

That is a capital idea of the county court to borrow suf
ficient money to meet the government's mad building program
on the North Umpqua project and also to create sufficient funds
to build the Mill Creek bridge on the new highway leading to
the lower I'mptum. Both projects are of vast importance to the
entire oounty. Their completion means much from a commercial
standpoint, and in this day and age gotxi. highways are a real
substantial asset. The county court is using excellent judgment
to devise ways and means where the two roadways will receive
financial assistance to assure their early completion.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June 30. (United
PresB.) At dawn tomorrow, an air
plane, laden with mall, will hop up
from the earth beside San Francisco
liay, to wing lta way toward the sun
rise ; four hours later, a similarly
burdened flyer will akim down a field
on Long Island, rise to hover over
Manhattan for a moment and fling
itself headlong Into the west.
Thus will be Inaugurated the first
through, trans-continental, coast-to-
coast, continuous air mail service, for
which -the post office department has
been priming and pointing for years.
Every day from tomorrow on, at 6
a. m. at San Francisco and 10 a. m.
at New York, the air mail planes will
take the air bearing the burden of
communications destined from one
coast to another. The air mall defin
itely Is oo
Night will hold no terrors for the
air mail flyers. Just as the pony ex
press of years ago stopped not a bit
for Indians, fires or floods. Night
flying will be a considerable part of
tne new service for the schedules
call for 32 hours and 6 minuteB of
continuous flying on the eastbound
mail, and 34 hours and 45 minutes on
the westward trip,
Gigantic beacons of hundreds of
millions of candlepower casting their
beams 100 to ISO miles have been In
stalled at the principal night
mgnt points while "safety zones'
near to the twilight zone stations
have been studded with Binaller bea
cons. These are to guide flyers who
may rind darkness overtaking them
some distance from the brilliantly
lighted station and need some guide
to lead them to the landing field.
ihe departure hours at each end of
tho flight have been carefully chosen
,to meet the conditions of fog. The
planes will start at '6 o'clock at San
Kranclsco, because later In the morn
ing, usually about 10. a thick blanket
of fog drops down on the bay. The
situation at New York Is usually the
contrary; the fog lies heavily over
everything in the early morning, un
til dispelled by the warmth of the
sun.
The 2,600 mile span of the contin
ent has been divided Into three zftnes
for the dally flicht new York to
Chicago, Chicago to Cheyenne, Wyo
ana i neyenne to San rTanclaco.
Special air mail postage has been
arranged for the service and stamps
In denominations of 8, 16 and 24 cents
have been printed and distributed to
all post offices along the route as
well as the principal cities adjacent
to the "air pathway."
An 8-cent stamp will carry an
ounce letter anywhere within one of
these zones, while It will require a
16-cent stamp to carry such a letter
into flie second zone, and a 24-cent
stamp Into the third zone.
Letters originated at. or destined
to. points orf the air route will not re
quire additional postage. Air mall
postage will be honored for travel by
train as well as by air.
To expedite the gathering of air
mail, special boxes are being install
ed In the larger cities along the
route.
No attempt will be made by post
office "aces'' to set speed records In
dispatching mails across the contin
ent. . "Safety of the pilots and safe hand
ling of the- mails." Postmaster Gen
eral New said, "will be the prime re
quisites." Bids for new planes with slower
landing devices in order to protect
Ihe flyers and prevent mishaps have
been received by the department
and a contract for a fleet of new
"birds" soon will be made. With
these planes It is hoped to cut the fly
ing time to 24 hours.
The lighting system along the
route has been kept in perfect main
tenance and no delay will be oc
casioned in reconditioning; the sys
tem. The night route from Chicago
to Cheyenne is lighted with automa
tic acetylene lights every three miles,
while at every i; miles an emer
gency landing ficM is located and
flooded with a revolving searchlight.
At intervals of approximately ;.".o
niil.-s are the regular landing fields
equipped with revolving searchlight
beacons of r.oo.f .000 candle power.
The "safety areas" extending from
Chiycnne to link Springs. Wcv. and
from Chicago to Cleveland have been
sufficiently lighted to guard against
the possibility of delayed planes be
ing overtaken bv darkness before
rcs.-hltig the regular lighted airway.
The department anticipates some
dcU's in starlings because of fog

DALLAS. Ore.. June 2S. Charges
that Dr. A. II. Rarbuck of Dalian,
chairman of the committee of nine
named by the Portland chamber of
commerce to attempt to orcanize a
central gelling agency for the prune
crop of the northwest, had betrayed
the faith reposed In him by tho grow
ers seeking to organize such a co
operative exchange, nenrly disrupted
the meeting called to order here
this morning for the purpose of or
ganizing the agency.
M. P. Adams. Marion county grow
er, threw the bomb Into the session
when he charged that Dr. Stnrbuck,
one of the largest prune growers in
the Dallas district and a lender In the
movement to organize a co-operative
prune local in the district, had signed
tip to market his crop this year
through the so-called co-operative
pooling plan offered by the California
Packing corporation, a private con
cern, which, various growers alleged,
had been using- tho pool system to
break the co-operative movement in
the northwest.
Admitting that he had contracted
his 1S2-I crop to the California cor
poration. Dr. Starlmck explained that
he hnd done so in good fulth toward
his fellow growers; that tho agree
ment tinder which the Dallas co-operative
local is being organized leaves It
optional with the growers as to
whether they shall continence pool
In:; In 1924 or 1H25. He did not be
lieve, he said, that an effective sell
ing agency could be organized in
time to function this year and had,
therefore, signed up with the private
packers in order to market his 1021
crop to the best advantage. ,
