LIBERTY THEATRE
Fast Moving Comedy Coming to
Liberty Sunday.
Few people can fail to bo satis
fied by the , fast moving comedy
which will open a two-day run at
the Liberty tomorrow.
It brings all the care-free action
of a musical comedy to the screen,
and gives the stage play a note of
logical completeness that only a
picture can have.
Lois Wilson, as the little coun
try girl who comes to tho big city
to make a fortune out of cookies
and save her country boy friend
from the wiles of the big town,
gives one of the most satisfactory
performances of a career that had
for its climax a wonder role in
"The Covered Wagon."
Oeorge K. Arthur as the "boy
friend" is admirable. In the role
of a smalt town "wise-cracking"
hick, he manages to put his laughs
over in a perfect fashion and at
the same time make the audience
like him. There are some extreme
ly funny scenes. Arthur, as John
nie Cousins, is introduced to a
group of artists in the village.
Johnnie knows so little about art
that there is hope for him In that
company, and when he sits on the
pallete and later brushes up
against his canvas he manages to
create toe futuristic hit of the tu

R. M. Fox. of the Roach Timber
company, also a heavy taxpayer,
said that the present building is a
poor example of the progreBsive
ness of a live county. He ex
pressed himself in favor of a mod
ern, attractive structure, Rubstan-jit possible, would be complete with
tial in every particular and fully out imnilUK the late Major Gener-
In keeping with the resources of
the community. Mr. Fox intro-1
duced a resolution placing the
meeting on record as favoring con

the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mr. Tourtellotte was again
called upon to answer questions
regarding -the details of the build
ing and his answers proved very
Interesting and instructive. He
stated that the . plans will be

weeks.
Tax League Approves
C. O. Garrett, president of tho
Douglas County Tax League, re
ported that tho organization

'Tho tax league," Mr. 'Garrett
said, "has always been looked
upon as a sort of a brake on the

In accepting It. We are sold on re

to be used, and believe that the
plans so far presented are per
fectly right.
"There is a matter, however,
that we wish to have the court
give serious consideration. We bo
lieve thnt the court should pro
vide for careful Inspection, and
we desire that this man be a lo
cal man, well qualified for the
work and a taxpayer of the

Urge Local Contract.
D. B. Bubar. representing the
Roseburg Chamber of Commerce,-
urged upon the court that they let
the work to Douglas county firms
and laborers, wherever possible,
and that local materials be used,
Douglas county, he said, has con
tractors and builders fully quail
fled for work of this kind and
there Is no reason why the con
tract should be let to some outside
firm thnt will Import Its labor and
materials. Ily having the work
done, by Douglas county men, he
said, the bulk of the payroll would
be kept within the county. Ho
called attention to the Perkins
building and Junior high school,
built by. local labor, showing that
the work can be done within the
county just as- well as by outside
firms.
There are 80 carpenters In Doug

finishers; ther eare 8 plasterers,

success. It was the ingenuity
persistence and brains of the army
engineers; the remarkable effi
ciency of the workers who labored
under them, and the unusual or
ganizing ability possessed by
G Of inula that did in less than a
decade what the experts of othiT
nations declared could never be
done.
General Goethals was appointed
by President Roosevelt in lit06 10
take over the work of digging the
canal across the Isthmus. Pre
viously several civilian engineer
and private construction compan
ies had undertaken the task at the
Invitation of the government, but
their slow progress and apparent
inability to surmount the counv
less problems confronting them
had heaped volumes of criticism
upon the project, until for a time
it seemed destined to go the way
of former attempts. Goethals
gathered about him as aides tho
most efficient body of array of
ficers at the call of the govern
ment, nnd proceeded to Panama
with nn organization almost whol
ly military in its personnel.
Linked with Goethals
No mention of the Panama
Canal 'and the officers, who made
al William Crawford Gorgas, chief
sanitary officers of the Canal
Zone, tho man who "cleaned up"
tl.e Isthmus, protected the lives of
the workers, and made the digging
of the "big ditch" practicable. His
name will remain indelibly linked
with that of Goethals.
After seven years of unremitting
labor, wherein he drove himself ns
hard and as relentlessly as he
drove the other Isthmus toilers,
and daring which he met and con
quered almost ; unbeliable ob
stacles of nature and science, Gen
eral Goethals. reported to tho con
gress of the United States and to
the world that his life work was
completed, and that the t two
American continents nt last wero
separated by a navigable . water
way.
The memorable success of Gen
eral Goethals was built largely
upon the failure of his predeces
hois, chief of which were three
French companies. One of these
had turned the first spade of
earth on the Isthmus more than
half a century before. They fail
ed mainly because they did not
mi p roc hi to tho necessity of mak
ing the country a it place for a
white man to live In, and again be
cause they could not find a sea
level canal possible and wero un
able to solve the problem of a
lock system of sufficient magni
tude to handle the huge ships
which they knew would bo built
In the future. Even the famed De
Lesseps, builder of the Suez
Canal, abandoned the task and
spent tho rest of his life brood
ing over his failure to master the
difficulties presented at Panama.
French Companies Failed

lands to enjoy the huge sums they
were ablo to pilfer.
During all this tlmo the United
States was not exactly at ease re
garding Panama. The prospect of
Europeans digging and subsequent
ly controlling a canal in tho west
ern hemisphere, at the very door
stop of North America, was not
viewed with much favor cither In
ofilclal Washington or by tho pub
lic at lurge. It was not until 1903,
however, after several cosily sur
veys hail been made, that congress
appropriated the necessary fumls
and permitted tho work to pro
ceed as a United States govern
ment venture.
For tho next three years vir
tually no progress was made In ac
tual construction, and while this
was blamed upon the civilian en
gineer, It Is hardly chargeable
as a fault, for their work of pre
paratlor In making the Canal
Zone habitable was largely re
sponsible for the success of those
who followed.
Faced Many Problems
Astdo from tho task of eliminat
ing disease, General Goethals was
faced by many other unique prob
lems, any one of which was a stu
pendous work In Itself. The first
of these was the cutting down to
a much lower level of several Rood
seized mountains near the center
of the iHthmus In order to mini
mize the elevation of the canal It
self. Gold Hill and Contractor's

Culebra Cut was driven, wero re

ed calculations! but finally the job
was done, and M vrn not the least
of those .for, which' General' Goe
thals itl 1915 received the thanks
of congress "for distinguished sr
vlco in constructing the .Panama
Canal."
Was Popular Man
Despite the fact Goethals used
a heavy hand on Ma aides and la
borers alike, and that they were
pushed and driven to the limit of
endurance, he was one of the most
popular men on the Isthmus when
the time came for him to wind up
his affairs and sail for home.
General Goethals was born In
Brooklyn, N. Y., June 29, 1858
His early education was obtained
there and also In the City College
of New York, following which he
was appointed to the United
States Military Academy at West
Point, where he was graduated In
1880 as a second lieutenant In the
engineering corps. From then on
his promotion was rapid, until he
received in 1915 the rank of Ma
jor General. In the meair time
he had been honored with the de
grees of LL.D from Princeton and
uIho from the University of Penn
slyvania. A short time after his gradua
tion. General Goethals was ap
pointed Instructor of astronomy
and civil engineering at West
Point, and later was sent to Cin
cinnati as assistant to the army
engineer In charge of improving
the Ohio River for navigation. It
was there that his first experience
In canal lock and dam construc
tion was obtained.
Throughout the Spanish-Ameri
can War he served as chief of
corps engineers, and later was
placed In charge of , the Aluscio
Shoals canal construction in the
Tennessee River. He also built
a canal near Chattanooga -and
another at Colbert Shoals.
Requests to Retire
After tho Panama Canal was
opened In 1914, General Goethals
served for two years as Governor
of the Canal Zone, then request
ed retirement that he might with
draw to civilian life . after more
than 30 years of military duty.
During tho World War, howevor,
ho was recalled to active service

In 1919 he . was again relieved
