Ei iyo-Ftcce Costume With .Now Scmi-Lorrf U-sckct Irimmeti With Otter -Ji i FLOWERS and Gardens CHARLE8 A. BRAND An organisation the object of which is to beautify the entire Pa cific highway from Canada to Mex ico is being promoted by Samuel Hill and a group of influential cto kens oi the I'aclflc coast. In Ore gon the preliminaries are being looked after by the Memory oar- dens Highway association, Mr. John G. Edwards, president; Mr. Peter Kerr, vlce-presirent. All Gar den clubs are being asked to co operate. It is a monstrous under taking but whatever progress is made will be to the good. Massachusetts has been working i a similar project for seven years but there they secured legis lation empowering the state depart ment of public works to improve the highways with "such planting, cure and replacements" as seem desirable. Tne state highway land scape supervisor Is in i-narge, and the state has US own nurseries. This work is considered a part of hiKhwav maintenance and It has worked miracles in Massachusetts.' At present that plan probably is not practicable Here in Oregon tliougn It would be ideal. But all wora is being done under the regu lations and with the helpful advice of our highway commission. One first step in this high en terprise would seem to be lo re move as far as possible the man made disfigurements to a highway ttiat is already one ot the most beautiful In the world. Probably Robert Bridges, editor of Scribqers, was hot thinking of tne painter of some of our scream ing billboards when he wrote this parody, but It fits: "He sits in a sea-green grotto With a bucket of lurid paint, And draws the Thing as it isn't For the God of Things as they ain't." There cao be no question about the unslghtiiness of some monstro sities and they ought to go. But there can also be no quest, on that some ot the billboard , advertising, especially that of the larger com panies, is artistic and beautiful. But even a beautiful bliloard should be placed so that it does not mar the scenery mat belongs to the whole world. On tne other hand, I can think of several spots not so far away, that would be Im proved if entirely surrounded by roster and Kleiser billboards. We can t condemn all billboard adver tising with one majestic sweep of the hand. A sentiment Is growing the na tion over that resents disfigure ments, whether advertising signs or hot dog stands, and that public sentiment Is getting results. Some of the big oil companies have heard the rumblings of it, and indeed sympathize with it themselves, and have removed their own signs by the thousand. That Is fine. But the removing of other peoples signs is not so simple. Our highway com mission does not allow any sign to be within 22 feet ot the edge- 01 the pavemout, but there is no sign so ghastly that a man cannot put it where he likes on his own proper ty back of that line, unless, of course, it becomes a menace at some dangerous road intersection. But a drive Is being made against the great Rlchfieid beacons wnicii seems to be ill considered, is the big tower north of Ko&eburg any harder to look at than a tail windmill? And sometime it will be a great help to aviators flying at night. Ihe Richfield service sta tion being built beside it is archi tecturally one of the most beauti ful ever built, and the whole plant Aill be an ornament to the high way. Uoseburg's thoughts and inter ests used to follow the railroad. Xow they follow the highway. There Is one thing about the ap proach to Rofeburg on the north that does not Indicate a forward look or suggest that we are ambi tious and expect to grow. As you Irive down tram the north throuuh the prosperous and growing Eden oower or Riverside section you re member perhaps that a lot of those houses stand In what not so long ago was Harry McClethm's corn field. You drive a little farther In to town and come to the city gates two handsome columns marking what? A man said to me, "Why ire your entrance posts here, so far inside the town?" That Is a hard one. Rut after fumbling for a reply t remembered that Mark Twain said "When in doubt, speak the truth," and told him that these columns announcing to the strang er that he was about to enter Rose burg had been built only recently but unfortunately had been set to .nark the city limits ns they were stahiishfH twpnty-flvp years pirn, ind that probably had great anil juarlan interest but that they were .11 a queer place, that they were in the ruht church but in the wrong ,ew, so to speak. Of course the city has grown. but the city limits, on paper, have j not grown correspondingly. After) all. what of it? Who is Interested in the paper limits? The welcoming J city gate posts are not built by 1 progressive cities to meet any le va 1 requirements or to mark fire I limits. They are to tell the Strang- er that he is about to enter A ho;-' pitahle, fornurd-lOokinR town, and , that the town thinks well of itself, j The legal city limits, like the ! equator, is au iai.'.giuaiy liuu R L; Goodman Conservatory Popular Among Musicians Activities at the Roy Goodman Conservatory are progressing. Mr. Goodman reports that bis time is rapidly being filled, as is also that of Miss Frank, violin instructor at the conservatory. During the past two weeks, Mr. Goodman and Miss Frank were so loists at a number of affairs, in cluding the Installation of Rev. Smith of the Episcopal church, Kiwanis club. South Methodist church, and the dedication of the new community house at Drain. They will also give the program for the Rebekah lodge next Tues day evening. The members of A. A. U. W. met today at the luncheon hour at the v Hotel Lmpqua for- the firss fall meeting. Luncheon was served at one o'clock to a number of college women. The club invited all col lege women to attend whether members of the association or not. Lady Elks to Entertain on Thursday Evening Beginning the activities of the fall and winter months the Lady Elks will hold their first meeting following the vacation months oiii Thursday evening. The affair is scheduled for eight o'clock at the Elks Temple and bridge and 5U0 will be enjoyed throughout the evening hours. Refreshments will be served. Wives, daughters, mothers or sisters of paid up Elks are now- eligible for membership in the club and it Is hoped that a large number will enjoy -the winter ac tivities of the organization. it Mrs. Thomas Ness Is Hostess to Bridge Club Mrs. Thomas Ness was, a charm ing hostess on Friday evening at her home in Laurelwood. The eve nlnfi was spent playing bridge aft er which the hostess served a dainty lunch. The members present were, Mrs. Wlllard Johnson, Mrs. Roy Entler, Mrs. H. C. Church, Mrs. Joseph Denn, Mrs. W. R. Gerretsen, Mrs. Harry Pargeter, Mrs. J. K. Falbe and Mrs. Thomas Ness. Guests of the evening were, Mrs. Clair K. Al len and Mrs. Ralph Smith. " 31 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Johnson have returned from a wedding journey to Portland and will make their home in this city. Mr. John son, who moved here receniy from Marshfield, is manager ot the L':. ion Oil company here, and Mrs. Johnson, Nee Blanche La hev of Marshfield, formerly made 'her home in Roseburg. the community of men and wdmen and homes that counts. Whether our welcoming city gates ought to " me junction or k the Garden Valley road and Camp view is not tiie question. 1 hey should not be a monument ,to tne past but a gateway to the future. Roseburg of today is t'orward-iook-ing and ambitious and growing, and the smug satisfaction with the boundaries ot twenty-five years ago does us injustice. Perhaps sonio time a change can be made. Columns like these, flanked with an appropriate planting of ever green shrubs, make a very favor able Impression upon the stranger entering the outskirts of a town. They point to the future, not the past. But enough about highways. The smoke and fog of the last ten days nas done the fruit, especialy the prunes, no good, and the simple minds 01 the water lilies have been completely bctuddteu. 'ine nays were so dark, that the night-blooming lilies did not know mat morn ing had come and stayed open alf day, aud the day lilies thought it was night and aid not open at all. The fact that most of the worst forest fires have been incendiary ought to stir the indignation of every good citizen. The future of many a man and nfany a commun ity has gone up in smoke in the iast month. If we only had Napo leon Bonaparte back and in Oregon for a few weeks! Here is a letter he wrote to the officer who had charge of one of the districts where there had been several for- est fires: "Monsieur lo Prefect: I am in formed that a number of fires have broken out in the department. You will please have the individuals convicted of having set them ishut immediately. Also, if fires break out again I shall see to giving you a successor."
