Top grade Umpqua valley broccoli lias, as predicted, reached the ?2.00-per-crate price in the Portland wholesale market, and while this highly profitable quotation prevails, with good prospect of going higher, about twenty-five car loads of the product will be shipped from Douglas county points this week. Added to this good news is the informa tion from a local cannery man, just returned from an east ern trip, that arrangements have been made for disposal of the cannery's broccoli pack this season, Still further rear soil for satisfaction at market conditions is the continued brisk demand for turkeys for eastern consignment and the steadiness of livestock price levels, featured by flattering offerings of from $11 to $13 cwt. for prime steers. Authori tative assurance of future stability of the wool industry conies in the form of an announcement from ( federal spe cialist that the saturation point in wool production has at as,t; been reached in New England, Australia and South Africa, due to geographical and climatic . limitations. I'American wool growers now have an opportunity to place their industry on the best financial basis in history," tha specialist declares. Taken by and .large, the present as well as, the future looks good from agricultural and livestock standpoints. If good prices continue, the American farmer may forget all about congressional measures for his bene fit .and cease to demand such expedients as equalization fees and surplus products marketing schemes. Congress may, however, enact some form of farm "relief" legislation, doubtless figuring that candidacies for re-election will be helped even if the economic welfare of the farmer is not. What Roseburg needs quite .badly at this time and all other times is a better business committee appointed by the local Chiimber of Commerce to investigate all stock selling schemes that are frequently offered to, the, public. Unless promoters who are alert to put .something over can prove the absolute sincerity of thein undertaking their activities should be curtailed and the public informed of the financial standing of such concerns and all other details therewith, Uuis protecting them from putting their money into worth ices securities. This paper will not lend its news or edi torial columns to the advancement of any stock selling cam paign unless it is assured that the proposition is gilt edged. There is no good business reason why a flock of salesmen should come to a community to advance any enterprise un less they show sufficient faith in their promotion to at least put up a reasonable part of the cash to finance the busi- nosn. No city should be required to establish any concern in; business or even help to do so unless the backers of ; the proposition are putting some of their own wealth into thp pronation and no industry should ever bo encouraged uliless there is good and sufficient demand for it. It is time for Roseburg to nwnkon to the .protection of its citi zens. Many thousands of dollars are being dumped into a rat" hole each year by those persons who are susceptible to the stock-selling promoters looking around for easy money, ' r'J,, . o You hear n great deal about Europe's commercial air lines; it is widely known Unit eij(; pilings, iiroportiunatuly, service is much more seem to think that we are lulling Kurope outstrip us.

GRADE HBISE Tltv city council mo: last nbrht I i:i u-Kul:.r semdon, there being lit i lie business of more than ordinary j Importance to he considered. frank Alley appeared bnlore the 1 council and asked reconsideration or the resolution regarding the : grade in front of the camp ground I stores ovneu by Mr. Young. juat I north of the new Deer Creek ; bridge. The stores were built' on the grade previously established by the city, but when the new bridge .was built it v. an put on a grad'1 considerably higher than the old '.street and slopes down in front of tiiH Htorea, piittiiiK each room ot a dilferent level. By making a i Hli,;lit change lliu sidewalk could bi; made to correspond to the old I level, Mr. Alley says, without of. feeling the street in any way, and would save a great mat ol money for Mr. Ytiunv Tim enMnr.il t,.,m,,. to make an inspection this after noon to see Ir the change can be consistently made.- . The sM'ett committee was given authority to purchase the amount of asphalt deemed to be necessary for street work during the sum mer. t lildn were received for tearing i out the old pavement and side I walks at each end of the new I bridge, preparatory to making a fill. Alter eoiLsiiliTable dlficusHon I the council decided to advertise for bids for making the fill with I gravel, which would permit paving much sooner than if a dill fill is made., I The health and police commit ! tee reported that drinking foun j tains recently ordered had . been j received and will soon bo put in I placo. ' - it was also reported that consid erable silt had been washed into the dump grounds by the recent high water and the council decid ed to allow the sale of the dirtj and authorized the city recorder : to receive orders, tho dirt to be: hauled out by the purchasers. j The u;;unl monthly estimates on i the Deer Creek bridge were read and approved. j A proposal was made that a new car be purchased for the police do-j pnrtment, but no action was -taken, i it be ing . the expressed opinion of l (ho majority of tho councilmon that the present car will servo if overhauled.
