Scientist Asks
City To Refund
$2 Parking Bail
A man claiming to be an atomic
research scientist started a cam
paign today to get the Roseburg
Police Department and Municipal
Court to refund $2 bail he posted
on a parking citation.
Two full page, single space type
written letters were on file with
police today from a Capt. William
I,. Finley, USAFR, research scien
tist, U.S. Naval Radiological De
fense Laboratories, San Francisco,
stating in detail why he believes
he was wrongly cited.
It alt started Tuesday night when
the "scientist" parked his car
across from the Grand Hotel head
ing the wrong way on the street.
He came out of the postoffice and
found he had been given a ticket.
Captian Finley went directly to
the police department, posted his
$2 bail and then wrote a detailed
letter telling why he should be giv
en the bail back.
Another letter from San Fran
cisco, giving more detail, was re
ceived by Judge Ira B. Riddle to
day in which the captain offered
to furnish documentary proof that
he has a spine injury and it was
necessary for him to park that way
to mail a letter.
He ended his last letter expres
sing "indignation" at his treat
ment and again urged "earliest
refund of my t'i bail."
Notations on his letter indicate
copies have been sent to the De
partment of Defense and U.S. Ra
diolpgical Defense Laboratories to
show how Roseburg treats scien
tists. Officials here said the case was
closed as far as the City of Rose
burg was concerned but they were
looking forward with interest for
the captain's next letter.

Tree Planting
Winter Of 1951
Posts Record
The Forest Service replanted a
record 2.018 acres of cuiover tim
ber land during the past winter,
according to figures just complet
ed. The planting, part of the Forest
Service program for keeping pace
was done in the South Umpqua,
with harvesting in national forests,
Diamond Lake, North Umpqua
and Bohemia Districts.
I .on is M. Gabel, timber manage
ment staff officer, said the tinv
trees would be ripe for harvesting
:n about 100 years.
The winter plainting season,
vhich started last November and
nded this month, forms a record
nr planting in the Umpqua Na
iion.il Forest, Gabel said. Pre
viously, replanting seldom cover
ed more than 900 acres in any one
1 season.
A total of 1,115,920 young trees
were planted and in addition some
25 acres of cutover land was seed
ed as an experiment to determine
i the feasibility of seeing rather
i than planting nursery stock.
! "Wo hone to maintain a Dlant
I Ing program that will go hand-in-
hand wilh the harvesting pro
gram," Gabel said. ,"At present
we're just slightly behind on our
planting."
lie added that In some areas.
1 natural reproduction of trees is
! satisfactory, while in others, if the
1 manpower, trees and finances had
i been available, more trees could
have been planted
Mxiy tnree per cent of the trees
planted last winter were fir trees
the remainder were pondernsa
pine. Most of the pine was planted
in me houin umpqua and Diamond
Lake Districts.

Aaron Rose's
Anniversary
Date Observed
Today marks the anniversary
of one of the most Important dates
in the history of Douglas County
as births, not deeds, are usually
observed.
Today, June 20, Is the birth an
niversary of Aaron Rose, founder
of Roseburg, and one of the most
influential persons in early day
Douglas County development. The
date was Just 139 years ago, in
1813.
Thers Is no fanfare. This Isn't a
holiday. But recognition Is fitting
in light of this Douglas County
centennial year observance.
Portrait and Geographical Rec
ord of Western Oregon, printed bv
Chapman Publishing Co. in 1904,
relates:
"The beautiful city of Roseburg,
Douglas County, stands as a living
monument to the name of Rose,
that of the man who was the first
settler of this locality, and as such
endured the hardships and dangers
of his pioneer life.
"The name of Aaron Rose has
been long known throughout this
county and not alone that he was
the founder of one . of Oregon's
most beautiful cities, but rather
for the high moral principal, the
earnest integrity, that distinguish
ed character of one of her early
citizens," the account continues.
Born in Ulster County, N.Y., ne
emigrated at the age of 24 to
Michigan, where he farmed until
1850. With his family he crossed
the plains to Oregon In 1851, taking
up a 640 acre donation land claim
Sept. 23, 1851, upon the present
site of Roseburg.
He opened the first hotel here,
later conducted a butcher shop,
bought and sold horses, conducted
a store and farmed. In 1854 the
county seat of Douglas County was
moved, by a vote of the people,
from Winchester to his farm where
the town of Roseburg was survey
ed. In 1853-58, Rose was a member
of the territorial legislature. He
also assisted in building the wagon
road from Roseburg to Coos Bay.
MEETING SLATED
Regular meeting of Umpqua
Basin Conservation Council will be
held at the Roseburg Rod and Gun
Club Grounds tonight at 8 o'clock.
Election of officers will be the
principal business.
Stat Prison Fight
Fatal To Convict, 17
(Continued from Page One)
Police Criminal Laboratory at
Portland said after an autopsy
that one of them pierced the wall
of the youth's stomach, severing
an artery and causing death from
internal bleeding.
Attacked From Behind
Harwood, serving life for second
degree murder in Multnomah
County In 1932, made this state
ment to Mogan and Warden Virgil
O'Malley:
He and young Worley got into
an argument in the prison yard,
and he went to his cell to avoid
prolonging it. He had his back to
his cell door, when Worley struck
him from behind and knocked him
to his cot.
Harwood said that after Worley
hit him again, this time in the
face, he pulled out a knife he bad
hidden under his cot and slashed
at the youth.
Other convicts saw Worley run
from the cell on the fourth tier
and awing down to the third tier,
where he collapsed. They carried
Worley to the prison hospital, but
he was dead on arrival there.
Harwood 3-Time Los'r
The warden said Harwood and
Worley had been involved in a
scuffle in the prison yard about a
month before. i
Harwood's prison record began
in 1920. Before beginning his pres
ent sentence, he served two other
terms at the Oregon prison for
forgery and false pretenses, and
one at the Washington State Peni
tentiary. He escaped while serving
one of the earlier Oregon sentenc
es, but was re-captured.
Worley and five other young
Klamath Falls men were admitted
to the penitentiary Dec. 31, 1951,
for assault and robbery.

Wagon Train Romance
One of the most interesting mar
riages on record was by a couple
enroute to California by wagon
train who stopped in western Neb
raska one day and before "man
and God" declared themselves
married.
They stopped here three yea rS
later to record the marriage. The
record reads:
! This is to certify that on the eve-
ining of July 2, 1859, on the road
j to California on the North Piatt
J I Heraunniiy h -

Miss Elizabeth Emrick and de
clared themselves to be lawfully
wedded man and wife before man
and God."
Signed by eight witnesses, the
marriage was recorded Oct. 29.
1862.
Several of the early marriage
certificates were mere scraps of
paper noting that a coup'e had been
joined in ' holy wedlock and sign
ed by a minister.
