ROSEBURG, OREGON, OIL AND AGRICULTURE SUFFER ALIKE, At first glance it may be considered that the oil pro ducers and the farmers have little in common aside from the fact that they both get their livelihood out of the ground, bul the present dileina of the -is just what has been the along. ' Wildcat operations in the oil industry have recently thrown production far above consumption. Oil is going in to storage and the big companies are taking their losses right plong with the little fellows. These bigger companies, pan icky, are seeking curtailment of production through an agree ment to reduce operations, and regulation to aid them in this parently, will have to take their medicine and survive or J)erish as best they may. , f ' In this respect, they are in the same fix that the farmers jlave always been in. - There has always been greater pro duction in agriculture than the markets nt home and abroad warranted. There are no half-dozen big farm corporations to get together and curtail production by mutual agreement, and nearly all farm relief programs advanced thus far have set up some machinery to absorb, artificially this resulting "over-production. 2 By some observers it is suggested that the remedy for agriculture, heartless as it may seem, is to drive a certain yumber of farmers out of business in some such way that the curtailment of oil production would drive a few of the Independents and wildcatters out of business and bring production down to the level of consumption. This, of course, Solves the problem in a large way but it means ruination for any number of fanners. :f. In the course of time; these evils of over-production cor rect themselves in the oil industry by the expensive process of driving the little fellows into bankruptcy. In the past, at least, it lias always worked this way. In agriculture, the only limes that balance is secured nre in times of war, when there is unusually heavy demand, and in times of off years, when the crops nre short. '., The troubles of agriculture, like the troubles of the oil .Industry, all boil down to questions of supply and demand, yviicn they balance, everything is lovely. The trouble is that they so seldom balance. ' ' . . In ancient times, when the ruler of a kingdom wanted to Hft a half-Nelson on the affections of some neighboring mon arch; ministers used to get together and arrange for a wed ding between one of the boys of the one royal house and one of the girls of the other royal house. The two kingdoms were thus made friends, and the happy subjects good and true could celebrate all over the greensward, because such alliances staved off just one more possibility of war, which was all too frequent in those times anyhow. Things have changed considerably since then, however, and the recent wedding of the daughter of President Calles to a young gringo lad was all but unnoticed. Under the old courtly practices, diplomats would have tried to figure out a match, between the senorila, and say the young Coolidge heir, in order that the hands across the Rio Grande might be clasped with a little more real, brotherly love. This, of course, could never be. As matters stand, though, it is to be hoped that the wedding just solemnized will draw the two countries a little closer. ' There used to be an old "wheeze" to the effect that no body loves a fat man. Nowadays in Europe it would seem .that the slogan is "Nobody loves a bachelor." As a result of the war, in almost every country in Europe there is a tremendous surplus of women over men. Whereft re states men and politicians look upon bachelors with no kindly eye. It has at various times been rumored Jhat Mussolini contem plated taxing heavily any bachelor who persistently and stubbornly stuck to single blessedness. Stepan Uadilch, lead er ol the Croatian peasant party in Jugoslovla, has gone even farther. He says that a bachelor cannot bo an honest poli tician. The bachelor, says the Croat leader and philosopher, tends towards irresponsibility and frivolity. Life is not a serious business for him. Wherefore the Uadilch party has given all bachelors a grim alternative marriage or expul sion. - . The story of "The Message to Garcia," Spanish-American war epic of a messenger who was sent out to find a Gen eral Garcia, although no one had any idea of where that gen tleman was, will now have to be rewritten, or discarded as out of dale. Until a few days ago it could be hauled out whenever it was necessary to send some unfortunate errand boy on a more or less hopeless task. "Lucky" Lindbergh, however,' has made the messenger to Garcia quite a back mimber. - For Lindbergh, not a skillful navigator, and with jidno of the fancy instruments which clutter up the dash boards of so many airplanes, flow to Paris. Lindbergh, in the eyes of old sailors, was a foul, and so was the messenger sent to find Garcia without a map, but they both got what they went after: . .. .' -o .. - Mrs Peggy Ross, young to the bedside of her infant tun save the child's .life," sny the bustle of the day's news, hub form which no scientific its utter simplicity, it makes the massive structures of knowledge seem trifling and tawdry tilings iudeid. by The Newi-Revlew Co., Inc. ..Pp'sldenl und Manuger .....Secriiwi'y-TreuHUier Muy 17, 192". nt the post office at the Act ot Marco 2, 179. 14.00 2.00 1.00 .60 .00 MONDAY, JUNE S, 1927. oil .industry over production trouble with agriculture all they would welcome .federal move.

To show the freakish feature's which have already cropped up under proposed compulsory In suranco laws, it Is interesting to note tho bill just defeated in tho California legislature (a commis sion for Investigation havluc been substituted). This bill would re quire every' tourist entering a state having such a law, to at once take out nu Insurance policy. The cost of such tnsurance tor n brief stay would ho so exorbitant that the majority would avoid stato or states with such requirements.

Ore., June G Davis Htiilth, one of the three men who I participated In the Claremunt Tav. era murders in Portland, Novem 1 ber 28, 1 !!!, died at the stale pen.. tentiary louuy ot septic sore thruut. He was serving a Hfe term. Smith was 31 years old. He was counted a good prisoner and was employed in the prison hospital where he shouldered considerable responsibility. About a year ago ! Kmlth was near death from drink ing poison. Prison officials said this was with suicidal intent, but Smith denied this. The other participants la the Claremoiit crime, In which J. N. Durness and George K. Peringer, I of Pendleton, were killed, were Jnmes Ogle and Walter Hanaster, Ogle, an Incorrigible, while con fined to the prison "bull pen," was shot und killed by John Davison, a guard, llumister is still in the prison serving life. Ilecause of certain circumstances of the crime and the subsequent capture of tho three robbers in Portland, officers believed that the actual shooting was done by Smith. Later, however, at the penitentiary, Ogle signed a con fession, declaring that he had fired the Bhots that killed Burgess and Peringer. The confession is con sidered genuine by prison authori ties. . About two years prior to the ' time the murder was committed capital punishment had been abol ished In Oregon, and its restora tion to the statutes was largely a result of the Claremont Tavern crime. Smith, which was an alias, is said to have been a member of a highly respected family in New York. Smith through his prison hospit al work, studied dentistry, in which he had become proficieat.
