XXIX NO. 168 OF THE EVENING NEWSI Wmm - ' -l r'.':Tlfe: Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS w E find this statement by Dill Roper, head coach at Prince ton: "Night football is brutal and out rageous. In night football the eye strain upon the players is tre mendous, and their whole program of attending classes in the morn ing, exorcising in the afternoon and then studying at night Is revolutionized." RUTAL or otherwise, night football it spreading. It is spreading because it gets the crowds. The crowds bring the dol lars. Dollars must be had if foot ball, as a spectacle, is to be kept up to the standard demanded by Die public. The public gets about what it demands. It always has, and it al ways will. IF you are interested in produc- tlon and markets, here is a sig nificant little Item in the news of the day: "Idaho looks forward to pros pects of a bumper potato crop. Federal estimates place the 1930 crop at approximately 27,800 CAR LOADS." r MfH SHUCKS!" you will say, T If you are a cynic, "they'll Bwamp the market and get noth tlilng for them. So they'll bo worse off than It they'd raised a little crop." You' will be wrong. Idaho's big crop won't swamp the market, be cause they are GOOD potatoes, kept up to quality by right grading rules. Products of that sort find a market. IDAHO, more prosperous than ever before in her history, has learned a great lesson, which is this: "Grow products only of the high est quality. Standardize and gradu ate quality by rigid grading, so that buyers will always know what they are getting when they buy in Idaho. Then go into quality pro duction on a scale big enough to get Into the LI; markets." Oregon needs to lcm n that same lesson. IJurtE is nn interentlng state- ment from a recent depart ment of agriculture bulletin: "Millions of acres of farm land which do not under present condi tions produce enough to support their owners properly are suitable for growing trees. "If such land could be switched from crop production to timber growing, the change would help both the general agricultural sit uation and put the land to profit able use." I:RR In Oregon we believe that statement. Because we believe it, we have ceased to talk about how to clear logged-off land. We know that barring exceptional cases, such as the clearing of oc casional areas of rich bottom land it Is much better to get logged I off land back Into timber than tc go to the expense of clearing the stumps off of It. We have so much good land In Oregon that is only fractionally de veloped that It Is clearly unwise to go on clearing up MORE land. npiMDER Isn't very valuable In Oregon right now. Tint the time will come when timber WILL be valuable. Don't ever doubt that. Timber Is the raw material for our greatest payroll Industry. In other states, where .umbering has been the big Industry, the timber has been cut, the land cleared up and the saw milling Industry has vanished.

Construction Will Start Soon After Selection of Site; 4000 Will Be Accommodated. Roseburg, because of its super ior clfmatical and geographical ad vantages, is the ideal site for the location of the proposer branch of the national soldiers' home, and Roseburg is also morally entitled to the institution because of the active campaign it made before congress in securing passage of the bill providing for the institu tion.

Vets Like Roseburg "I have known for many years that the district around Roseburg provides an excellent locality for the soldiers, regardless of their age or disability." Mr. Hawley slated. "The climate here is mild and comfortable, and is beneficial to all who come. With that thought in mind. Roseburg immediately presented itself as a prospective site, when the matter of establish ing a soldiers' home in the north west was proposed. "From my actual contact with the soldiers 1 know that they all like Roseburg. They are admitted to the churches and lodges, are welcomed at social activities and are shown hospitalities that are not accorded in many other com munities. Naturally, they all have a good word for Roseburg. Roseburg Favored "When I introduced the bill Roseburg was named as the place for the home, and the subcommit- Contlnued on page d.

Davis, a Portland attorney, whose complaint was dismissed by the lower court. Davis first attacked tho ballot title on the referendum bill as prepared by the attorney general, hut the supremo court held It proper. In the attack on the referendum the petitioners alleged the peti tion as circulated was illegal for the reason that It did not contain certain verbale that appeared In the petition as filed with the sec retary of state. The supremo court holds that these words were sur plusage and Hint their removal did not deceive signers.

German and foreign press representa tives and u crowd of aviation fans flocked to Templehof air port, today and watched a new "backward flyiiiK" monoplane apparently chasing Its tall through the clouds.

Only when taxiing along the Hold at. some distance did the reason for Its name "Ente" moaning duck, become apparent. Willi the forward stabilizer scooping the grass the plane looked for all the world like a big duck with outspread wings and outslrutclicd neck running along. The advuutages claimed for the design are (1) that it is Im possible to nose over when land ing because the front wheel be uealh the forward stabilizer Is well In front of the center of gravity.

JSEBIG'S BONDS Tho city council last night enter ed Into an agreement with the Hank of Southwestern Oregon at Marnliflcld for the salo of tho $35, 000 refunding bonds which will be voted upon at the coming Novem ber election. The bonds uere re cently put up for sale by I be coun cil, but the attorneys passing upon thu Issue held that the charter was not sufficiently definite upon the council's authority to issue and sell the bonds without a direct vole of the people. Tills made it ne cessary for the council to refer to the volors a charter amendment, which will give Hie council au thority to issue refunding bonds to take care of bond Issues for which no sinking fund has been provid ed. It is believed that there Is little question of this measure fall ing to pass, as otherwise the coun cil's only recourse would be to raise (lie entire amount by n direct tax levy, which would place a very heavy burden upon the tax payers. The Marshficld bank, which has purchased two previous b'tuies of Itoseburg bonds, stated that It hud a sale for these bonds, and that It would pay at the rate of f 101.012 per $100 of bonds, Hie same as the high hid when the bonds were pre viously sold.
