Dally, single month, by mall Dally, by carrier, per month- ROSEBURG, OREGON, OUR CAPITAL K1IZES THE fire which damaged the national capilol last week was bad and damaging enough but there was a worse capitol fire back in 1814. British forces swept into the capital and burned a considerable portion of its buildings, including the capitol building. The president and other of ficials had fled before the invaders. The vandalism of re British seems at this later day to have been rather use less but not more so than the whole 'War, whose issues were never very clearly defined and whose outcome wass wholly inconclusive.' It was an inglorious struggle from both sides. ' The present capitol soon arose from the ashes of the one the British had destroyed. It is a magnificent pile, worthy of the nation. It ( has been added to, re-furnished, and modernized from time to time. To repair the present dumage will entail some inconvenience upon official Wash ington but it will not even make a dent in Uncle Sums pocketbook, relatively speaking. Uncle has the cash. It is altogether probable that this fire and the other recent one which damaged the national executive, offices were caused by carelessness of individuals. It is not likuly that they were caused by design. Nevertheless the pub lic would like to see the facts made certain through investi gation and fixing of the causes. Unexplained fires in na tional buildings are bad. The power of suggestion is stijong and weak minded persons or cranks might feel themselves spurred to emulation by such happenings. , 0 ' A remarkable photograph of Oregon and Washington snow-capped peaks is reproduced in the Literary Digestl from Popular Mechanics. It was taken from an airplana at a point over the lava beds south of the Three Sisters by Cap tain A. W. Stevens of the army air corps. It shows,' in ad dition to those splendid peaks, Mount Washington, ; Three Fingered Jack, - Mount Jefferson, Mount Hood, 'Mount Adams, Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier, truly; a won derful array of mountain grandeur to appear all In one para graph. The feat was made possible through the photo grapher's use of a film sensitive to infra-red rays that pene trate smoko and haze. Captain Stevens could not see all the peaks but his camera could and did. : " ' ' POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS !

"Peregrinations" is the accom panying title of a communication received by the News-Review from one of its former owners, Lee Wimberly, now a resident of southern California. The article deals with a New Year's day Jour ney to Imeprtal valley. It will be read with interest by the many old friends and acquaintances of Mr. Wimberly in this city and county. It follows: Roaming down to Imperial may not bear the intriguing thrill of "Itolllng Down to Rio," yet it af forded no lack of Interest for a weeit-er.d "little journey" continu ing over New Year's day, 1929. Our party of six snugly comfort able In a "Studie" cedan rolled oast ward along the Valley Boule vard, the auti:nin panorama or browd hills, shorn fleUU, passing towns, broad green stretches of orange groves and miles of freshly harvested vineyards slipping rap idly by under the alight haze now golden from the rays of the after nooa sun. A roadside stand at Mloomlngton. near dusk, was cheerless with its announcement of no "hot dogs". On we went, through busy Redlands. over the me.a at Heauniont, and at c30 p, m. were dining with unflagging ap petites nt San Gorgonlo inn. A bright sun gave us a cheery good morning at Banning, near the ede of the broad Coachella val ley, and the date gardens at Indio, 43 miles away, seemed beckoning. It was thero we procured a sun- ply nt this delectable fruit, grown at sen level and hever ripening to such perfection anywhere else in the t'nited States.

The atmosphere, however, was de lightfully cool and so continued throughout the day. This inland sea, some 30 miles In length, occu pies the lowest part of what was once a vast arm of the ocean cov erlng the Imperial and Coachella 1 alleys. After this region had lain parched and barren lor untold aees the present body of water re sulted from an immense overflow of the Coloradb river in 1905 Those waters thn rushed through the Imperial valley from a break In the Colorado embankment be low Yuma and eroded the great channel now known as Neg river.

Beautiful girls In lavish cos tumes, all photographed in color by the Technicolor process, and re produced entirely with sound and dialog, appear in the spectacular revue Bcenes. Contrast is supplied by the backstage scenes of the cheap burlesque theatre, with Its "beef-trust" chorus of women, none of whom weighs less than 180 pounds. In this elaborate setting, the ro mance of Skid and Bonny Is acted. Hal Skeily, who played the part of Skid during the entire successful run "Rnrlesque," which totaled nearly two years, immortalizes the role en .the screen. Nancy Carroll, charminc Paramount featured play er, recently se.fn in "Close Har mony," sings, dances and makes love as Bonny. Months of strenuouB effort under direction of some of America's ablest engineers were required to stop this inundation. Fear of a similar recurrence is a leading factor urging the early construc tion of the oulder canyon dam. Towns Enroute Brawley, a live and growing town, occasioned an hour's visit Including a substantial luncheon at the Dunlack. Then a 15-milo jog amid fat fields of alfalfa, cotton luscious grapefruit and other crops, brought us to the Barbara Worth, famed hostlery of El Cen tro. This is tho chief city and com mercial center of this region which rivals the valley of the Nile In productiveness. A Bide trip to Calexico and Mexlcali all one town athwart the international border was a 'matler-bf-courBe during the after noon. Mexlcali, where the "sky la the limit" and thero is no tangible sky, of course gets the holiday crowds. A more cosmopolitan as semblage can scarce be found in America, yet there was no appar ent disorder. Returning to El Centro, the" ele gant dining room of the Barbara Worth afforded a charming setting for an excellent dinner. This busy little metropolis is America's chief center for the shipment of winter lettuce nnd luscious cantaloupes. Tho production of long staple cot ton numbers Bcores of thousands of bales, while to enumerate the list of products of this lush soil and almost unbroken sunshine would well nigh exhaust the cata logue. Near here was written the charming story of Barbara Worth, now so artistically portrayed in mural dccorationB of the hotel lob by. Bringing' In the great Irrigation canals and thus reclaiming tho valley from desert waste to rich abundance was the dramatic real! zatlou of unbounded energy and vision a vast achievement im pregnated with thrills and ro mance. Endless Delight Early Monday morning- our way was westward across the valley to the rocky base of the Cuyamaea mountains. Thence winding sharp ly upward over tho hard surfaced highway each succeeding altitude; brought broader vision and in creasing delight to the beholder. Passing the summit Just above Ihe widely famed Carriso gorge, the undulating western slope gradual ly transformed the Vista from the mammoth rock gardens of Iho highlands to the semi-tropic ver dure of the El Cajon Valey. Sati Diego was reached just nt the close of the great Armistice day parade. With appetites again ap peased, a brief tour of the city and beautiful Balboa park preceded the homeward trek over El Ca mino Heal. Near Oceanslde the much glorified "orb of day" slipped below the curve of the broad Pacific. Thence the succeed ing towns from San Clemente to Long each presented a jeweled chain of gleaming lights along the sparkling strand.
