MOW can the city of Roseburg
holp, in a practical way, the
surrounding country particularly
the surrounding agricultural coun-i
.try? That is a question that 1b!
often asked. I
Here is the answer: Tty providing
a market for what the surrounding'
country has to sell.
Providing a market for what Its
back country has to sell Is the eco
nomic justification for any city's
existence. j
rJ,HERE are a few shallow think
ers who contend that the city's
business is to SELL. Rut how can
a city go on selling unless it also
BUYS?
How can the people of the sur
rounding country buy what the
city has to sell unless the city pro
vides a market for what the people
of the snrrounding country have to
sell?
If people are to BUY, they must
have money with which to PAY.
If they are to get the money with
which to pay, they must find a
market for what they produce. It is
the city's business to provide the
market. Prosperous cities are those
that provide the best markets.
J-VOITGLAS Is a huge county. It
has a wide variety of Indus
tries. AH of these industries must
find a market for their products.
Roseburg 1b the natural market
place of Douglas county. If it is to
live up to its responsibilities, if it
Is to grow and prosper as it
should, it must find a market for
the products of Douglas county.
If Roseburg can do that, there j proponents of the" debenture plan,
will be no need to worry about theUro ill. and a third is classed ns
future.
C PEAKING specifically, instead
of in general terms, Roseburg
can help materially in marketing
one of the important products of
Its territory by securing here a re
ceiving station for eggs.
The Pacific Poultry Producers
will locnte a receiving station here
If 100,000 hens are signed up. A re
reiving station will make it possible
to ship eggs from here In car lots,
thus saving the express charges
which producers are now compelled
to pay and increasing their net
returns.
That would be a real service to
producers, and It Is real service to
producers that helps to build trade.
fHERE are shallow thinkers who
A contend that the growth of the
cities is a menace to the country.
That Is not true, as anyone can Rce
for himself who will stop to think.

KDRNEY GANG S
CUES BARED
Buffalo Authorities Told of
Three Slayings and
Series of Holdups
Past 3 Years.
Body of One Victim Taken
From Grave Machine
Gun Used, Armored...
Car Attacked.
(AMOclnted Pren Leased Wire)
HUKKALO, N. Y., May 6. The
story of three slayings and a ser
ies of robberies covering a period
of three years, related In a con
fession by a member of the Big
Korney gang caused the police to
day to redouble their efforts to
capture members still at large and
to establish if possible to what ex
tent they figured In other major
crimes in New York, Chicago and
other cities.
Two men and a woman are un
der arrest. The men are John
Kwiatowski (Big Korney) and An
thony Knlkiewicz. The woman, a
companion of Kalkiewicz, did not
participate In the holdups, nor did
she take part In the conferences
at the gang redenzvous In Depew,
a suburb of this city, where hold
ups were planned and where one
of their number was executed for
treachery.
Grave Yields Victim
The gangster killed was Victor
Chojnickl. His body was taken
from a shallow grave in the lot be
hind the Depew bouse yesterday at
a spot where Kalkiewicz, who
made the confession, (.old the po
lice It would be found.
The first pav roll hold up com
mitted by the Big Korney gang, ac
cording to Kalklewicz's confession
was at the office of a foundry in
Buffalo in 1925. The loot amount
ed to several thousand dollars.
A holdup of the Art Metal Works
Shop and the slaying of Ward J.
Pierce, the paymaster, followed.
Knlkiewicz said Chojnickl worked
at the plant and tipped Big Korney
off to the possibilities of commit
ting a successful payroll holdup.
Chojnickl did not, however, take
part in the crime.
After this robbery Kalkiewicz
said the gang went to New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia spending
the money they stole; It was Cho
jnickl's knowledge of the crime
that cost him his life.
Armored Car Held Up
Returning to this city, the Big
Korney gang resumed operations
attacking an armored pay car ns
II pulled up to the Duffy silk mill.
Kalkiewicz said that the guards
on the pay roll car came within
an Inch of being riddled with bul
lets because they did not throw up
their hands quickly enough. The
loot was thousands of dollars.
In both hte Duffy silk mill and
Ait Work Shop jobs, an out-of-town
gangster participated. Kal
kiewicz, Kilokowski, and Big Kor
ney took part in all the crimes,
the first named said.

nKRLIN. May fi. The German
government's problem In connec
tion with the communist disorders
shifted today from the directly ac
tlve to the political stage.
The streets of Neukolln and
Wedding presented a normal ap
pearance tills morning with women
going to market and traffic unin
terrupted. Very few police were in
evidence. But the tranquility
seemed precarious and the end of
hostilities only a truce.
Property Confiscated
The supreme authorities of the
Reich have asserted their power
by declaring the principal com
munist organizations dissolved and
their property forfeit.
A police communique which
withdrew the emergency restric
tions In Neukolln and Wedding, In
cluding the curfew law, concluded
with the announcement "that in
execution of orders of the Prussian
minister of the interior suppress
ing the Red front organizations,
the police today seized the Inven-
tnrlcHt office equipment and bank
accounts oC the sapl organiza
tions." ... ,.
It Is unlikely the authorities can
accomplish their task without
strong resistance from the com
munists who are in a belligerent
mood and nre expected to yield on
ly to superior force.
Communists Defiant
The communist attitude Is 1m-
nlied In announcement from Ham
burg that the party there would
not heed the senates proamnion
of a great meeting scheduled lor
May 1!) and "would carry through
despite police terrorism."
The Red-front nranlzatlnns are
the nrlde of the German commun
1st narty and Its most active and
militant sections. The. "fighters of
the red front" are largely recruit
ed from former soldiers of the
German army and are armed and
iliselnllned like an army.
Herr Grzeslnskl, Prussian minis
ter of the Interior, has ordered dis
solution of this organization, along
with the "Red youth front" and
the "Red marine." Carl Severing,
minister of the Interior for the
reii h. Is said to be considering nation-wide
extension of the order.

Hoover Lauds
AI Smith For
Official Work
NEW YORK. May 6. President
Hoover regards Alfred E. Smith,
his democratic opponent in the re
cent national campaign, as a dis
tinguished American and a great
public servant
The president's estimate of Mr.
Smith was expressed In a letter
read last night at the presentation
of the "Laetare medal, the annual
award of the University of Notre
Dame to the American lay Catho
lic "who In his particular field of
endeavor has achieved such dis
tinction as reflects glory upon the
Catholic faith."
The letter, addressed to the Rev.
Dr. Charles L. O'Oonnell, president
of Notre Dame, said:
1 am glad you have jnven me
the opportunity to join In con
gratulations to Governor Smith for
the honor which you confer upon
so distinguished an American and
to the university for Its public
mIi it In honoring bo groat a public
servant."
The Idler was read by Angus
McDonald, vice president of the
Southern Pacific railway, and for
mer head of Notre Dame alumni
associations.
The tribute paid by the presi
dent to the man over whom he
won the presidency is the first
nald bv Mr. Hoover since he en
U-red the While House. During the
campaign Mr. Hoover avoided any
mention of Mr. Smilh. They have
met but once since the election.
That was while both were on a
holiday In Florida before Mr.
Hoover's Inauguration.
In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Smith referred to the president's
letter, saying:
"I am very thankful to the presi
dent of the United Stales for his
kind nolo of greeting."

FACTS NOT CLARIFIED
Trying to Learn Whether
Hess Was Killed While
Still in Bedroom or
While Fleeing.
County officers this morning
confessed themselvea complete
ly baffled by the lack of tan
gible evidence in the murder
of George M. Hess, federal
building janitor killed early
Saturday morning at his home
a short distance west of this
city. An autopsy performed
his morning revealed that the
man was shot directly through
the heart and a .32 calibre re
volver bullet, corresponding to
the weapon found in a nearby
apple orchard, was found in the
body, and from appearances
would indicate that the man
wns shot while fleeing from the
house, although, officers state,
it might have been possible
that he was shot while still in
the bedroom.
Mrs. Hess was questioned again
this morning but was able to give
Utile additional information. They
were awakened, she states, by the
crashing of lilasB when the window
at the head of their bed. was shat
tered. Whether or not a shot
caused the breaking of the window
she was unable to state. The brok
en window Is being pieced togeth
er today, as It appears that it
might have been broken . first and
then a shot fired through the hole,
although a part of the glass was
struck by a bullet, and powder
burns were left on the glass. The
orricers, however, can find no
trace of a bullet Inside the house.
Thev are endeavoring to determine
whether Hess was lilt by the bullet
