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. ,

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. : " ' '

bo measured by the Impression he
create as Rovernor within the
next few months. Certainly the
Incumbency or the oftlie may he
regarded as a distinct asset. Our

Former News-Review Editor
Writes Interestingly of
Journey Taken on
New Year's.
"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.

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,

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-

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

of whom weighs less than 180
pounds.

ablest engineers were required to
stop this inundation. Fear of a
similar recurrence is a leading

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

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
