I , ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NORTH UMPQUA ROAD. r. - The party of local citizens who have just returned from a tour of inspection of the proposed North Umpqua road ; leading to Crater and Diamond lakes are most enthusiastic over the possibilities offered by the completion of this high' way. Already a considerable portion of the road is complete and contracts have been let for further work on this very im- potant project. There are, however, some twenty or more miles to be opened before access call be had from Roseburg; - to the lakes, and until this is financed and carried through this city will be shut off from any advantages to be derived from the vast amount of tourist traffic to both Crater and Diamond lakes. The journey was madefy Roseburg people and others for the sole purpose of getting first hand infor- ; mation that the groundwork might be laid for further devel r opment of this important project. The road is already com- e pleted and in excellent condition for automobile travel to i Bugus creek, fifteen miles from Rock creek, and construo , tion and grading is under way for a good road as far as Steamboat. By the end Of the present summer machines will be able to make the trip to Steamboat over a well graded r roadway. Minute inspection of the country east of Steam' t boat has revealed the fact that it is possible to continue the v toad connecting up Diamond lake with that part of the ; thoroughfare already completed. Engineers accompanying the party concede that the construction over the North Ump- -. Jjua trail- country would be no more difficult than that al ready constructed, and the only thing that now remains to be done is to convince the bureau of public roads and our congressmen of the value of such a road traversing the North Umpqua. The spirit of progressiveness shown by the party "tnaking the trip to Diamond lake is mighty commendable. . . Roseburg and Douglas county should now get squarely be '": hind the project and lend every assistance possible to bring about ways and means for early completion of the North Umpqua roadway. This is the opportune time to strike. A roadway from Roseburg to Diamond and Crater lakes Is one of the most '."Important accomplishments that has been before the people '' of this section of the state and good team work should be ap ,,, plied in order to bring about immediate results that the work can be caried forward without further delay. o WHAT EVOLUTION IS. The origin of the human race is a profound mystery. ,,' Before the ordinary observer states an opinion as to whether .. or not he believes in evolution, or approves the famous anti ' " evolution law which has led to the Scopes trial in Tennessee, he should go into the subject somewhat, and find out what ' , the doctrine of evolution really is. In the popular mind evo " lution is the idea that the human race descended from apes . i d monkeys. But scientists would not usually hold to that .....Idea. The theory is that the human race has descended from " "some species among the lower animals as existing at some infinitely remote period, and that these ancestors of our race were also the ancestors of apes, monkeys, etc., which have re- wained - on a relatively low level of development. It is noted that there is a tendency to variation among different specimens of animals, and the idea is that those specimens that have variations that are useful in the strug called the "survival of the fittest." In a period of incalcula bly long ages, it is argued, such survival of the fittest types lends to increase the capacities and powers of a species of animals, so that it may gradually advance from one stage to something far higher. Thus it is prgued, these lower ani mals have in hundreds of thousands or millions of years, evolved into the human race. Those who accept this theory tiehy that it adds to the majesty and dignity of God to think that in his eternal patience he could bide his time over these countless ages to produce the human race. o ' Whether it be by President Coolidge or by any other , public official or agency, efforts for tax reduction will meet Kvith popular approval, remarks an exchange. For the tax burden is real. It bears heavily on everybody. The larmer Mils his crops and in turn gives more to the tax collector than he keeps for himself. Last year the railroads paid Taxes in the amount of $:1 10,000,000, or $30,000,000 more than was paid the stockholders. Merchants mav and usual ly ido, add their taxes to the selling price of their goods and wares, rfius passing the tax burden on to the consumer, but a taxes rise, prices soar, sales lessen and profits dwindle. The railroad like the merchant, obtains its revenue from the public, selling service instead of merchandise, hence it too passes its tax burden on to the consumer. The tax burden cannot be shifted. Directly or indirectly, it falls on the gen eral public. The only way to reduce it is to scale up econo my! and scale down extravagenre. o I Wives who have been accused by their hubbies of talk ing too much should exhibit to them the news item announc ing that a Portland, Oregon, man, bereft by death, is so anxious to again hear the voice of his spouse that he has of fered f 500 to anyone who can communicate with her. o Br BR1 a BATES ; As generally predicted Scopes has Iwn found guilty by the trial jury but the ape and monkey problem still re mains Unsolved. o GOOD EVENING FOLKS Juat fell off'n The port aid Of a Rocky Mountain canary After rraaaaoin' a Saddle vp the North Umpqua trail For thee beetle day) And If there' Anything kind to .
