RAIN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY ROSEBURG, OREGON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1925. VOL. XIII NO. 219 OF THE EVENING NEWS VOL. XXVI NO. S1S OP ROSEBURQ REVIEW ONE MILL' LEVY JEW COURT E Taxpayer League to Ask County Court to Submit Proposal to Voters, DIRECTORS NAMED Report of Nominating Com mittee Adopted Im provements at Cojunty Home Desired. A proposal to vote 1 mill an .nually for four years for the pur pose of providing funds for the construction of a new court house building, was approved on Satur day afternoon by the Douglas County Taxpayers League, and the county court will be asked to sub mit the proposition to a vote of the residents of the county at the primary election to be held early next year. The condition of the present building Is such that a new court house is' necessary. Several recent grand juries have condemned the structure and have urged the steps be taken to erect a new building as soon as possible. The tax league found that the conditions justify the building of a new structure but only about $70, 000 of the necessary 1200,000 can be made available at the present time. It was decided to approve a one-mill levy to be added to the tax each year for four years, which will provide enough funds for a new court house and a jail. This matter will have to be submitted to the voters of the county, but it Is believed that in the light of the existing conditions and the recom mendalons of the several grand juries, that the proposal will meet with favor. During the closing houra of the lesslon on Saturday, considerable Interest was taken In the report of the sundry items committee. The recommendation favoring the continuance of the health unit was adopted with little discussion, while the recommendation that the allowance for fruit Inspector be increased $400 was also approved. All other recommendations of the committee were sanctioned by the taxpayers. The nominating committee sub mitted the names of D. N. Busen bark, C. O. Garrett, A. A. Thlel, E. K. Fenn, C. L. Chenoweth, M. B. Green and C. E .Moyer as direc tors. The report was adopted, the men named being elected to the of fice of director, having the power to appoint the officers of the league. After considerable discussion concerning the O. and C. land bill It was decided to favor the inclu sion of the lands in the national forest area. At the time the government made grants to the O. and C. rail road company It gave the company alternate sections of land adjacent to the proposed right of way. This land has -since reverted to the gov ernment as a result of the failure of the company to fulfill certain requirements of the contract Some of these broken sections lay inside the boundaries of the na tional forest. The law provides that the government may sell these lands, the first disbursement from the fund created from the sale of the land being to the railroad com pany at the rate of $2.50 per acre. The second payment Is to the gov ernment for money advanced for back taxes, and the remaining sum Is to be divided among the states and counties in which the land Is situated, with a per centage for administration and also for the reclamation fund. Before the counties can receive any money from these lands ap proximately $8,000,000 must be tak en In. The forest service proposes to buy the lands within the national forest areas from the department of (he Interior, paying for them rn 10 years. This It Is estimated would permit the government to pay off the amount due the rail road company and for back taxes, and during the course of the ten year period the county would re ceive approximately $200,000 as Its share. In addition It would receive Its share from the sale and admin istration or other lands not affect ed by the Inclusion act. The taxpayers league fell that any action which would result In returns from these lands would be of benefit and unanimously ap proved the proposed bill. S. 8. Bolslnger, manager of Ihe county home, appeared before the league and asked that more money (Continued on page tlx.)

ST IF OF EUROPE; Heavy Loss of Life Occurs in Southern Italy and Cattle, Crops and Homes Gone. (AMocUtcd Pths tcajtd Wirt.) . LONDON, Nov. 30. From south Italy and Spain to Scandanavia and from Poland to the Bay of Bis cay, violent storms raged during the week-end. Snow lies virtually through central Europe and every where low temperatures are record ed. For the fist time In many years snow fell along the French rivlera. But, according to an official com munication issued by the authori ties at Nice, "it thawed aa soon as the sun came out." A temperature of between four and five degrees below freexing was registered. There was much destruction of pTrHrif fleers found- w-aupply of whiskey perty and loss of life In the storm areas. Italy, however, appears to have been the worst sufferer. The reports received show that there were storms over the whole of the peninsula, from Naples to southern Sicily. They were more violent than ever were known. Huge"! waves from the sea etuged the shores, wrecking houses and dam aging harbors and railroads, while swollen rivers flooded the country side, destroying crops and cattle. A-dispatch to the Daily Mail from Rome reports much damage at Catanzaro, where many persons were killed or Injured, and that Monteleone, Bagnara and other placea also suffered severely. Hea vy seas held up the American steamer President Garfield for sev en hours outside Naples. Deep snow falls are reported from Austria, Germany and Swit zerland. Violent storms of rain and wind visited Spain and Portugal. Portugal suffered particularly in the destruction of railway tracks, telephone and telegraph wires and the demolition of some houses. Even as far east as Greece the storms raged. The port of Piraeus suffered damage, while at Patras the lighthouse and breakwater were washed away. Southern England escaped with trifling snowfall but northern England and Scotland were snow- j ed under. Drifts several feet In. depth are reported In some places. These hindered railway traffic. One train was stalled In a drift for many hours. SOFIA.

Morocco, a cyclonic wind caused the death of three for eign legionnaires and Injured thir teen. Seventeen airplanes were i wrecked and five mechanicians In jured at an aviation field near the I legion encampment. The losses are very heavy. The storm struck this city In the middle of the night and many per sons fled their homes scantily clad. iNo mention Is made of casusltles. NEWELL TAKES OATH AS OREGON PROHI DIRECTOR PORTLAND.

Inti mation that a fund of $300,000 had been pledged to defray tbe cost of special legislative session, marked the interim in the Texas political situation along with an unexpected sequel to the governor's liquor law proclamation, the filing of chargea against a negro butler at the execu tive mansion.
