THANKSGIVING
T
L
Birds for Distance Shipment
to Be Received
Tomorrow.
THURSDAY BIG DAY
Competition Among Buy
ers Is Expected to Stim
ulate Prices Crop
Is Heavy.
v The Thanksgiving turkey mar
ket opens tomorrow, although
Thursday and Friday are expected
to be' the big days. Birds for .dis;
tant shipment are coming ill' to
morrow, where contracis have
previously been made, but the
bulk of the open buying is to be
done Thursday. '
While the . county has a larger
. crop o turkeys thali has marked
the industry in the past few years,
yet the Thanksgiving receipts are
not expected to be overly heavy.
Many of the larger growers have
stated that they do not intend to
kill their birds until : the holiday
season. Penning the : birds up,
frightening them while sorting out
the best ones, handling them and
exciting them serves to throw
them "off their feed' growers say,
and it takes considerable time to
get them back to the place where
they begin to take on weight again.
By leaving them undisturbed they
will be considerably heavier by
the Christmas and New Year sea
sous and the difference in weight
will bring a greater profit provid
ing the price does not lower.- I -
Many", of the smaller i grower's,
however, will kill all of the, birds
that they havo ready for market,
lather than feed them until the
holidays at the, present high cost
of feed. . . .' . ,
Great care is. being exercised in
recent years in the grading of tur
keys, as growers , are coming to,
realize the benefits ; of cm etui se
lection ,in obtaining, the top mar
ket prices; This is .particularly
truo this year, , when .because, of
the price being paid , buyers ..will
doubtless grade. close to the line. 7
Price indications are that, grow
ers will be .paid between 4- and 4a
cents, or perhaps better.- The Tex
as market is strong, and with pros
pects of light receipts the price
will doubtless be 'maintained. Buy
ers are now offering 42 cents and
there are rumors of 43 cents being
orrered. With receipts light, and
buyers trying to cover orders, , the
price is apt to advance. , '
There is greater competition this
year than is usual. Several new
buyers have entered the field, par
ticularly at Oakland, where activi
ties are centering. There ire some
new buyers in Roseburg also, ned
ing an aspect of uncertainty to the
market. .
Portland Market

PORTLAND. Ore., Nov. 16.
With' Thanksgiving "just a little
more thin a week off predicitions
of tho price that will rule for the
holiday are heard on every side.
Some are bullish. Others are con
servative with 40 cents as the
general top, the most popular
idea.
One thing Is generally admitted.
There is a fairly good turkey crop
in the producing sections enntribu-tai-y
to the Portland market. It may
not be a bumper crop but growers
concede that there is little likeli

Quality is excellent with the
flocks well conditioned. This may

In compliance with the request ot
the road districts west of town,
were taken up by the city council
last night. For several years there
has been a. desire to have this
short' strip ot road .paved, but the
council was : unable to make any
progress in that direction. It Is
now planned, however, to Invoke
the . section of ; the 'charter which
gives-the council the right to In

The road is rough, forcing the
city to expend considerable money
each yoar keeping It In condition
for travel, and even then there Is
always a great deal' ot complaint.

the property, but, as all of the, resi

it Is believed that there will not be
a sufficient number to effectively
remonstrate.
;. Water Causes Complaint,
J. E. Rexroad appeared before
the council and complained about
water which has been drained off
Second, Avenue onto his property.
Ho stated that the drain across the
street Is not carrying oft the water
and that a ditch dug by the city
street force is permitting the wuter
to run on his land. The streot
committee promised to make an
investigation Immediately.
Residents of Cobb street appear
ed with a protest against the sale
of a lot In which they thought
was a cross street near the ex
treme south end of the city. Sev
eral years ago the first addition to
Walte's addition was laid out and
plats filed with the city by W. L.
Cobb. This tract Included the land
a block Bouth of Rice street, but
from that point on to the city lim
its the land was not platted. Re
cently this latter tract was plat
ted and an attempt made to secure
tho city's approval, but becauso
strip of land had been left at the
ends of the street to prevent the
streets from being cut through the
city refused to accept the plat.
Propory owners state that they
were Informed that there would be
a cross street running east and
west, parallel with Rico street and
a block farther south. Some of
them bought lots with the under
standing that they would have cor
ner lots. Mr. Cobb, they claim, has
now sold a lot In what they thought
was to be the cross street and they
asked the city what steps they
could take. As the plat has never
been accepted by the city the resi
dents were informed that the coun
cil has no authority in the matter
and that their only recourse Is
againHt the owners of the land to
enjoin them from blocking what Is
claimed as a street.
The city recorder was Instructed
to procure licenses for the city's
autos.
The report or tho canvass of the
city vote at the general election
was read and the recorder Instruct

" LONDON; Nov. IB. The love of
Consuelo Vnnderbllt fof a young
American lien ' sn married ' the
Duke of Marlborough 31 years ago
is among tne latest revelations as
to the cause of tHe annulment by
the Catholic 'church - of her mar
riage to the Duke. '
A dispatch to the Dally Mall from
Rome sayB that a part of the evi
dence presented to,, the ' diocesan
court1 consisted of letters to her
from 'a young American whom she
would have married had her moth
er not 'prevailed against her. ;: ' '
" Her 'mother, ' then Mrs. W. K.
Vnnderbllt, Is , now Mrs. O. H. P'.
Belmont. ' ' ' f -' '
- That' the mother's "commands,
threats and importunities" Induced
the 17 year old heiress to abandon
her American sweetheart for "a
splendid marriage" is said unof
ficially to have been confirmed be
fore tho Catholic diocesean court
at Southwark, which granted the
annulment. '
It is said that the confirmation
was given to the court by Mrs,
Belmont and other witnesses. Of
ficial secrecy In thlB rospect, how
ever. Is still being maintained by
the church authorities whose de
cision to annul the marriage was
upheld by the holy rota tribunal In
uome.
The latest version of the genesis
of the proceeding attributes them
to CoiiBuelo s wish to regularize
her marriage with Colonel Jacques
Balsan, a French Catholic, in the
eyes of the Catholic church by hav
ing the ceremony performed In ac
cordance with Roman rites. This
would hnve been Impossible while
she retained the position of a di
vorce. Since her marriage to
Marlborough has been nullified,
Consuelo's remarriage to her
French husband has been feasible,
but It Is not known whether a new
ceremony tins been solemnized.
The question of the Duke's alleg
ed desire to enter . the Roman
church has not been answered
officially. Catholic authorities say
positively that he has not been
accepted as a communicant, but
they decline to confirm or deny a
statement that he has applied for
admission to the church.

as a student of theology, Vilhjal
mar Stefansson, noted Arctic ex
plorer, declared In a newspaper In-
tervjew here last night, his belief
thal "tho fundamentalist churches
of the world must surely adopt
spiritualism if they would continue
to exist."
Mr. Stolansson took a course In
Harvard theological semlnarv after
his graduation, from Harvard Uni
versity. , , .
n what he declared was his first
public expression of views concern
ing spiritualism and roliglon, he

... The window cards' being ' given' '
to subscribers this year are prac '
tlcally the same as those of lnstl ;
year except that the color and
dates are different. This year's"
cards are blue. Each business man '
subscribing is given two of tHeBO
cards, one for his home and one'
for Ilia' place of business. Each em
ploye subscribing Is also given ono
to take to his' or her home, When '
the solicitors are' working in the '
residence district they will pass up
all homes displaying the Com
munity Chest -card iu the window '
or door. '
The Chest committee furnishes
this card for another reason, how
ever. It shows all who may at-'
tempt to solicit for funds other
than from the Community Chest
that the party displaying the card
has already given his quota for the
yoar and that that subscriber Is
cooperating with the Chest at
least to the extent that he wishes
all parties investigated before be
ing pnid any money. Summed; uj,
these cardB show professional- so
licitors, some of whom may have
just cause and others who may nbt
have, that Roseburg Is a business
town, progressive and awake and
indicates to these solicitors that
they must show Just why thoy
should receive any money and
then through the Community Chest
unless It be denominational or
private enterprise.
Roseburg's progross In the Com
munity Chest methods has already
attracted the attention of outside
cities. Inquiries regarding the
workings of the Chest have been
received and replied to from the
Lion's Club at Eugene, Baker, Til
lamook nnd Port Angeles, Wash.

apart from the objective truth of
the spiritualistic beliefs, the spirit
ualists are bound to be on the win
ning side of the religious develop-
'ment of tlle tlme becauso the ro-
llglous Issue has shifted." ha on 1,1
"The live Issue no longer is wheth
er there is a heaven or a hell for
the soul to go to, but rather wheth
er man has a soul, at all. Unless
either the churches or science can
prove that a man has a soul, you
can't stlrdii much Interest In heav
en, hell or a 9te after death."
To do this Mr. Stefansson said
Sir Arthur had believed during hl
American visit, "that the . old
churches would have to turn In llie
spiritualists as the defenders of the
cltsdel of their faith the belief of
the existence of a soul that, llvnii
after death." .
