SMITH
TO DEVELOP RICH AGRIGULTUHA
SECTION OF WESTERN DOUGLAS
Necessity of Better Transportation Facilities Clearly
Emphasized at Banquet Enjoyed First of Week by
Roseburg Delegation Visitors Surprised
! . by Resources Found on Trip,
Of nil the 80 Roseburg folk who
, visited Smith River " during Iho
good will excursion to the lower
river country lust Sunday and
. Monday, it is safe to say that prol
ahly no one of the in fully realized
the tremendous industrial possibil
ities wrapped up in that wonderful
section of Douglas county. Board
lug the boat at Gardiner and Heeds
"port, the visitors cast off from the
wharf at the latter place shortly
after nine' o'clock, and in a few
minutes had swung across the
broad expanse of the Umpqua and
'were 'being driven up Smith river.
The country was all smiles follow
t ing a light rain, and Roseburg peo-
Y pie remained .on the decks in order
Vto enjoy all that the trip afforded.
Although accustomed to surround-
ings upon which Nature has dealt
a luvish hand, the beauties that un
folded along the river as the bout
Rped up stream brought continual
excluinutions of delight. The wholer
section is a veritable wonderland.
Steep mountain slopes covered with
dense forests loomed on either
, ftide of the river. Along the shore
line were the famous dairy ranch
es of the Smith River section.
Comfortable farm homes and big,
modern cattle barns were features
that met . with much interest.
Wharves at each farm, to which
was usually moored a small gaso
line launch, were evidences, of
life and thrift, while the ever-present
cream can, that had either JuBf
been unlouded from some river
craft, or was awaiting shipment to
f the cheese factory or the creamery
v' nt Reedsport, told a silent but elo
quent atory of what was making
for all the thrift and apparent com
lorts of the people. (
On the trip up the river the boat
landed at one of these farm homes
and the visitors were permitted to
go ashore and look 'over the barn
and dairy. It was 'found to be
modern, well lighted and ventilat
ed, iron stanchions being provided
for the cows, and au automatic
drinking fountain for each cow. It
was scrupulously clean. To one
side of the dairy barn' was the
cream house. In it was found run
ning spring water, and several cans
of cream were standing in the cold
water undergoing the cooling pro
cess. The cream separator was op
erated by a. small water motor. Ad
joining the barn was a field of Jap
anese millet which supplied gree
feeil for the cattle. This feed' is
cut fresh daily, and is one reason
why those Smith River co-A's keep
up a steady flow of rlchmiik. The
millet affords about three cuttings
" annually. ''
The Smith River Grange hall is
located about seven miles above
RoedHport. On .the way up the
1 bout did not stop at that poilfit, but
proceeding a couple of miles farth
er gave the Visitors a chance to
see what those folks down there
think of education for their chil
dren. It was n most gratifying
sight too. A fine new union high
school and grade school building
has been erected a few rods back
The Penny Princess
ia story every News-Review
reader will enjoy. It is
written by Anne Austin;
whose pleasing story,
"Daughters of Midas." was
recently published in the
News-Review and was found
very delightful by the thou
sands of readers.
This new serial has a clev
er plot that will be of inter
est to everyone, for would
you believe that a girl could
fall desperately in love with
p man she had never spoken
to, whom she had seen but
once?
The First Chapter
Df this gripping story will
start Saturday and daily in
stallments will follow. The
heroine is a plain girl em-
ployed as a private secretary.
She becomes a princess to
capture her man, but she is
a "Penny Princess" because
she exhausts all her funds in
the effort to make herself
beautiful. Does she get her
man? Jut wait and you will
get a good surprise. Don't

from the river. The large base
ment provides a nluy house for tho
youngsters in stormy weather, and
the whole Improvement is a monu
ment to the : farsightedness and
bigness of those Smith River peo
ple who are footing the bill that
their children may have .equal ad
vantages with those of localities
more easily reached by rapid trans
portation. -
From the Union high school tho
boat turned her bow down stream,,
and in a short time whistled in for
the lauding. Members of the
Grange met the visitors at the
wharf and escorted them to the
hall, which stands In a beautiful
grove overlooking the river. Greet
ings were cordial, and as the Rose
burg delegation stepped- inside the
spacious Grange hall they vlsloned
two, yes, -three, long tables loaded'
with about -everything that un
excelled cooks could think of that
might please hungry inen and wo
men - Grange .matron and - young
women, assisted by some of the
men, wero adding the finishing
touches to a banquet that was fit
for royalty. Dinner was. called, and
visitors and local folk took seats at
the tables, and when they were
pretty much all nrovided for the
j count showed approximately 136 at
tile tables, while at lean 25 others
were engaged in serving. Grateful
and reverent, these good people
sponsoring this entertainment' must
neeus express their gratitude: anu
the Reverend Anderson was called
upon txi return thanks -for divine
benefits. :We cannot--refrain. .from
speaking of the . banquet more def-'
initely, as it was largely based tip
on those things, produced in their
own locality, or in Douglas county.
The menu included. Smith River
chicken, . deliriously , cooked by
Smith River matrons, Smith River
tomatoes. Smith Rivqr apples made
into pies, Smith River dairy milk
made into cheese. Smith River
butter and milk, and such , milk
one rarely gets sandwiches, sal;
udsv'cakes, cold meats, and every1
thing in unstinted Quantities; so
that when Mr. Staples, of Keetli
port called- attention to the fact
that thne had come for discuss
ing the road question, for which
the metiag K&& 'bufeji called, the i
Inroads' upon all those dainties had
failed to appreciably lighteiie1 ttoe
burden o.f graauixg tables.
Ttlr. Hiiiott Blackwell, or Smilh
Eiver,- was called upon to sta'o
the needs of the Smith River sec
tion. c Briefly ' the" gentleman'
brought out the farts aS they exist.
FGir more than 60 years the Smith
River residents have paid taxes
for building roads in GitBw pains erf

from Any help; and not infrequent

not to say- anything about the days

world because of impassible osfHoi
tion of tho river n the winter.
Mr. Lewis spoke right to tbo
point. Ho alleged that hiaasoif

; dairy cattle owned by many of the
j Smith Rivor ranchers herds hat
ithey have bred up with much care
and expense over a period of many
iyears. . Me paid a tribute to ttae
grade - cattle that are still to -fee
i found ill ere as having been the
sole means of support to families
in the earlier -days and that are
.often as heavy producers as the
; purebred. He told his listeners
;of the $200,000 to $300,000 worth
of farm products that annually go
out of Smith River, the most of
which is in the form of cream and
milk. . o
; That the people are progressive
was shown in their endeavor to
keep abreast of the times, no loss
than 15 farm homes ' there being
lighted by private electricol plants,
while nearly all of the ranch
homes along the river enjoy run
ning water. He spoke of (he more
than $12,000 of the California-Oregon
land money that has been re
cently alloted their school district,
and which practically putr. them
out of debt. He told the Roseburg
delegation that all sorts of fruits
and vegetables are grown on their
farms, but that lack of rapid trans
portation prevents getting those
products to market. At the pres
ent their gardens and orchards ate
frequently devastated by roaming
deer, and that one big moose that
the game commission turned loose
upon a confiding public, along with
other of his kind, is a constant
menace to everything they niv
plant. Fences mean nothing to this
