Apple Week Is to be observed
In Roseburg between the dates of
October 30 and November 6, ac
cording to a decision reached by
the executive board of the Rose
burg Chamber of Commerce, which
is niaklug eveiy effort to make the
special week a success ': In every
particular. A number of Interest
lug plans have been worked out to
assist growers in disposing of their
crops, which is the primary pur
pose of the week of special effort,
i S. K. Sykes has donated the use
of his building on Jackson street
as headquarters and the Chamber
of Commerce, with the coopera
tion of growers,, will set up a huge
apple exhibit at "that place and
will also - have hundreds of boxes
of apples for sale there.
. Meeting Is Called
A meeting has been called for
Saturday morning, October 16, at
1U o'clock, of all Interested grow
ers and at that time it Is planned
'. lo consider further - steps to bp
taken in the way of, calling atten
Hon of the public to the county's
apple orop. It Is urged that every
pple grower in : the i county be
present nt-this meetlng. whlbtf Vflll',
be held! at the. city hall, and that
nil Ideas for carrying on the pub
licity work be ' expressed s at that
time. ' '
In addition to local sales and ex
hibits it is planned to have a large
truckload of apples on 1 Sheridan
street at train time each day, and
to advise passengers that they can'
have a box o- fapples expressed to
themselves or friends. It is expect
ed that this method' will Tesult in
, n much-greater sale- than, could
otherwise be expected. -" .- :
It will be required that the ap-:
pies offered for sale locally be as
good in suality as those- shipped
away, for the purpose of the week
Is to call attention to the Impor
tance of the apple growing Indus
try in Douglas county and to aid
the growers in disposing of fruit
on baud. : ' -
Fruit Is Good Quality " "
Douglas county can produce ap
ples equally as high in quality as
those of any other section of the
country. Poor transportation facil
ities, lack of a growers' organiza
tion, ami other causes have worked
to. discourage growers, many of
whom are not giving the industry
the attention it merits.
Then too, the market is not good
this year and at the same time
there is an abundance of apples.
This means that there Is little de-
. maud, and as - the local farmers
Shave no storage facilities, they will
lose heavily unless some method'
can be devised to assist them' in
disposing of tneir irop. .
Many Roseburg people should
buy more apples. Boxes bought
now can be kept- for many, weeks
and will provide a healthful and
delightful food during the fall and
winter. ' Douglas ' county residents
will not only be urged to buy and
consume more - fruit . themselves.,
but will be- asked to send boxes of
apples ito friends' in other parts of
the country. It Is believed that a
box of apples Bent as a gift this
year will result in annual orders
in future years a"s the quality of
the fruit ' will interest those in
other sections so that they will
want more each season. ''

ROSEBURG

FOOTBALL SAT.
Coming Contest to Be One
'of Best of Season Is
Belief.
PLAYERS WORK HARD
Teams Expected to Be Very
Evenly Matched in Ability;
. and Strength of Each ,
H Will Be Tested, v'
Roseburg football fans will have
an opportunity to see real foot
ball game next Saturday when the
Roseburg and Eugene high school
teams tangle in their annual con
test This game was originally
scheduled to be played In Eugene,
but because the team there was
unable to secure the grounds for
the day the game 1b to be played
here.
Funs who saw last Saturday's
game when Roseburg so decisively
won from Cottage Grove were de
lighted and surprised to see the
strength which the local players
have developed under the coaching
of H. H. "Hod" Turner. There is
no question but that Roseburg has
one of the strongest defensive
high school teams ever developed
in the state. Cottage Grove made
first down only once ' during the
entire game. Time after time the
visitors were thrown for losses, and
were kept busy kicking out from
behind their own goal posts-
Just- bow- strong the Roseburg
team can be on the ottenBe ' re
mains to be seen. The Cottage
1 Grove game- hardly could be used
as a measure to show this Btrengtn,
Roseburg resorted entirely to line
bucking tactics and plowed through
for yardage through center and oft
tackle, never being forced to ex
tend its efforts to end - runs, or
passes, for not a single pasB was
attempted. . . .. . - . , ,
'-' Team Showi Fight '
The , outstanding ! feature; of the
Roseburg team is its fight. The
Players are driving all the time,
"chatter" continually : and -, put
everything ' they have Into- the
game. This assures a good spec
tacle whether Roseburg wins or
not for there will be ;no one-sided
contests like have happened pre
vlously. '. -
Couch turner wsb well ploased
with tho results - of ' Saturday's
game. The contest developed sev
eral weaknesses which are now be
ing strengthened. On the ' other
hand, the game brought a number
ot Unexpected strong points. Sever
al players, who in practice had
shown up in a mediocre way, went
Into the game and demonstrated
the fact that they bad been ab
sorbing a great deal more than they
had been given credit for, and dis
played an unexpected ability. As a
result Coach Turner has several
interesting fights on his hands be
tween members of the squad. Sev
eral men whd have so far been
sure of first team positions are no
longer so positive ot their places,
for they are brought face to face
with determined contenders who
are showing a great deal of clever-

MEDFORD, Ore., - Oct 13.
In a signed statement to-
day County Judge W. J. Hart-
zcll, recalled his recent vote;
pledging the county court to
pay.W. H. Gore, local banker
and chairman of the state
committee which secured the
passage of the Oregon and
California tax refund mea-
sure, one per cent of the reve-
nues coming to Jackson coun-
ty, or a net sum of between
S10.000 and $16,000.
Judge Hartoell explained
his action by declaring that
investigation had convinced
him that a vast majority of
the people of Jackson county
opposed this payment and
that he considered it his first
duty to carry out their
wishes. , '.-..
Pressure has been brought
to bear to secure similar ac-
tlon from two other mem-
bers of the county court, but
as yet the other members
have made no public state-
ment Unless one or both of
them follow Hartsell s lead,
the resolution recently pas-
sed granting payment to Mr.
Gore will stand.
