Organization and Co-operation Will
Result From Tour of Repre

West.
Official representative of the horticul
tural Interests of Missouri are being
vehown" this week th.results of sys
tematic and organised co-operalon among
the fruitgrowers of Oregon. The visitors
are William P. Stark, of Louisiana, . Mo.,
president of the Missouri State oard of
Horticulture, and James M. Irvine, of St.
Joseph. Mo., editor of The FTult-Grower,
a publicalon devoted to horticultural in
terests. They have visited La Grande.
Hood River and The Dalles, and have
planned a trip through the Willamette1
Valley fruitgrowing districts the latter
part of the week. Returning home they
will spend a few days in Washington and
Idaho.
vThe people of Missouri have learned
to look to Oregon for Intelligent Informa
tion pertaining to horticulture." said Mr.
Stark at the Portland yesterday.
The Missouri State Board of Horticul
ture consists of six members and a secretary-
Of the seven, four shall have
visited the fruitgrowing sections of your
state before the fruit sea.-on closes
this year. Our secretary, W. L How
ard already has visited the state
and studied horticultural conditions. Mr.
Irvine, who accompanies me, while
not a member of the board, is closely
identified with the fruit Interests of our
state. During the picking, season. T. H.
Todd, treasurer of the Board, and J. H.
Christian, vice-president, will spend some
time in Oregon. Mr. Todd Is an exten
sive applegrower and comes to study the
methods employed by growers in Oregon
with such successful results. Mr. Christian-
is one of the largest fruit shippers
In Missouri and will devote his time to
studying the methods followed by the
various associations of the fruitgrowers
here.
Famous Fruit Section.
"Undeniably Oregon Is one of he great
est fruit sections In the country. Our
state is interested particularly In the
growing of apples and from the investi
gation we have made, coupled with our
prior knowledge of the quality of this
fruit produced In Oregon, we are con
vinced that your state is entitled to the
fame It enjoys as a fruit-growing district.
Hortioulturally, Oregon has a great
many advantages over Missouri. In the
first place both climate and soil are
adapted to fruit culture and you do not
have to contend with the unfavorable
weather conditions and numerous pests
with which our state Is Infested. Tou
have practically no apple scab while our
crop this year Is seriously affected with
this blight. Again, you have a compul
sory spraying law. In our state It Is
optional with the grower whether he
takes this precaution to Insure good fruit.
"Your growers are organized and de
rive the benefits from systematic" meth
ods adopted in growing the fruit, pack
ing, shipping and- marlCetlng the product.
The Oregon orchardist also devotes his
time and attention exclusively to fruit
growing while In Missouri fruit culture
is followed only as a side issue. Lack
of organlzaion and co-operation among
the growers completes the explanation
for the position our state occupies horti
culturally. Missouri's Apple Trees.
"Missouri is long In trees but short in
fruit. There are in the state 20.000.000
apple trees, probably more than in any
other state, yet for the reasons given, the
crop will be light. The members of our
board are. making a thorough study of
horticultural conditions, the methods fol
lowed In growing, packing, shipping and
marketing in the states of Oregon. Wash
ington and Idaho. This information will
be arranged In proper form and submit
ted for the education of Missouri or
chardlsts in the hope that- the standard
of our fruit may be raised."
"With the exception of fruit the crops
throughout the Middle West will be enor
mous this year," supplemented Mr. Ir
vine. "First the frosts Injured our fruit
prospects and then a cold rain lasting
20 days during the period of fertilization
completed the damage. Farmers in Mis
souri, Kansas. Nebraska. Iowa and Illi
nois never were more prosperous. Many
of them own automobiles and Instead of
. 'mortgage-plastered' farms It is not at all
unusual to find the farmer holding mort
gages. "Our section of the country has quite
entirely recovered from the effects of the
financial disturbance last Fall. In fact,
during the flurry, many of the smaller
cities continued on a cash basis while
their business Interests apparently sus
tained no ill effects from the depression.

Despite the recent defeat of the state
Jurisdiction In the Fraternal Order of
Eagles at the Seattle convention, the ad
vocates of thto system are hopeful of bet
ter success at the next session of the
grand aerie.
With a view of promoting general inter
est in the proposed measure, a caucus
was held during the grand lodge session
at Seattle, and a committee appointed to
further the promotion of this change In
the by-laws of the organization.
Under the existing laws of the organiza
tion no changes are permitted to local
aerie charters without the sanction of the
grand lodge, and the advocates of the
r,ew scheme desire to havf jurisdiction
as to membership and other items con
fined to state organizations, and thereby
permit of practical self-government of
subordinate aeries. The committee which
will have charge of the work of agitating
this change Is composed aa follows: Del
Carey Smith, past grand worthy presi
dent, and a member of Spokane Aerie,
No. 2: B. A. Darnell, ex-state president
of the Iowa lodges; Fred F. Jones, vice
president of Oklahoma: John J. Harring

R
OSEBURG, Or.. Aug. 15. (Special.)-
While Portland Is Known
throughout the country 'as the
"Rose City," there Is In Oregon an
other city which lays some claim to
the title, and that place Is Roseburg,
on the Southern Pacific, In Douglas
County. In fact, the people of Rose
burg say that their place is the origi
nal rose city, and If the production of
beautiful roses has anything to do with
It the claim is well taken.
In the Spring of 1854 Roseburg con
sisted of but a few settlers, among
them Aaron Rose, the pioneer for
whom the place was named. It Is
something of a coincidence that the
city should be named after a man
named Rose and should be the home
of the beautiful flower of the same
name. Probably lnjio place in the state
are roses found in such profusion as
here and in the season the whole city
is a flower garden.
From a mere stage stopping place,
Roseburg has grown to a city of 5000
population, with three trains in each
direction daily, a fine business district
and handsome homes. A commercial
club recently organized and is doing
a big work in the publicity line. Speci
mens of fruit and flowers are given
away to the passengers on the trains
passing through the city.
Another plan is .being carried out
which will greatly advertise Roeeburg.
At the depot there will be built a
handsome pavilion, in which will be
exhibited all of the products of the
county. This exposition building will
be open only during the 20 minutes in
which each passing train stops to
change engines. Letter paper will be
provided for passengers who want to
stop and write letters. The place will
be closed during the day excepting at
train timea, so that it will not become
a loafing place for local people.
In a new building in the business
section the Commercial Club will have
handsome apartments regular club
rooms, where the members can meet
and confer in a social and - business
7he City Council of Roseburg has
ordered a large part of the business
section paved and several new build
ings are now in the course of construc
tion. Concrete ' sidewalks and brick
and concrete business blocks give the
place a citified tone, and at thispartic
ular time there Is not a city in Oregon
which for Its size has more real bustle
of business.
The fine agricultural, live stock and
fruit country of Douglas County sur
rounding the city is one of the main
features of support, and as the avail
able land -for these purposes not yet
NEGRO CLUBMEN IN TOILS
MEMBERS OF SOCIAL- BODY ARE
HALED INTO COTTRT.
Members Deposit $20 Each as Ear
' nest of Their Reappearance
Before Judge Van Zante.
Early last Winter, the Eureka Social
Club filed articles of incorporation with
the County Clerk's office, announcing an
intention of qpnductlng a social and fra
ternal institution for the mutual and gen
eral benefit and good and advancement of
some fO colored individuals. ' .
A social session of the club was de
scribed before Municipal Judge Van
Zante, yesterday forenoon, by Detective
Tom Kay. Some purposes not included In
the announcement of the articles were
clearly shown. Kay visited the club, at
HI Seventh street, at an early hour Sun
day morning. He was not invited nor
was his coming heralded.
He found some 30 members of the club
there. Some were engaged In the intel
lectual pursuit of draw-poker. Others
were discussing the Intricacies of black
jack and dice. No caricaturist has ever
depicted the interior of a colored social
club in a way that would have been an
injustice to the Eureka Club.
Several of the members decamped
through windows, others crawled under
tables, one Jumped into an excavation,
some 20 feet, and paused only at the soli
citation of an officer and a gun. Some
six officers accompanied Mr. Kay and
every one of them was needed to stop

Roseburg promises to become one of
the most important inland cities of the
southern part of Oregon.
The city is a division point for the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and the di
vision headquarters and machine ehops
are located here. The railroad pay roll
of toO.OOO a month is one of the big
financial Incomes whloh helps to make
the city what it is. While the real
estate prices are not out of reason,
there are many tracts in the suburbs
being platted and put on the markets.
The good roads extending from the
city make the suburban homes highly
desirable.
Roseburg now has a population of
something like 5000 persons. There is
a One school, high school, churches,
-courthouse and other public buildings,
besides -the state soldiers' home.
The location of Roseburg is natural
ly a beautiful one for a city. It
spreads out -over a valley with the

JAPAN WILL BE THE HOST
PIAXS BEING COMPLETED FOR
BIG EXCCRSIOX.
Ten Business Men of Portland Ex
pected to Join Party on -Trip
to Orient,
Portland business men who Join the
party of San Francisco excursionist's to
Japan for a tour of the empire with a
view to cementing the commercial rela
tions of the Mikado's country and the
Pacific Coast will receive personal invita
tions from the Japanese government. It
Is desired by the San Francisco business
men at the head of the' excursion to have
the names and occupations of the men
who will join the party as early as possi
ble so that the data may be sent to the
Japanese government, which will then is
sue the invitations.
The limit for Portland business men to
participate has been fixed at ten and it is
hoped there will be a full delegation. J.
Iwaya, Japanese Vice-Consul here, has
written to the Chamber of Commerce,
asking for the names of the Portland ex
cursionists at the earliest possible date
so that all plans may be carried out to
receive the excursion party In due form
upon the arrival at Yokohama.
ConsulGeneral Chozo Koike, of San
Francisco, will be the leader of the party
and he promises many unusual features of
entertainment. Sights that tourists misa
will be pointed out. There will be recep
tions and entertainments to the YieHoxa
of Roseburg have for some tlne past
advocated the forming of a company
for the building of an electric line to
Coos Bay, and now there is promise of
a successful movement in that direc
tion. The people In Roseburg have a business-like
air. They go about as though
they had something to do and some
destination and purpose. The whole
atmosphere Is that which makes the
distinction between a country town
and a city. This is the first impres
sion one receives on visiting Roseburg.
But with all its business the roses are
never forgotten, and during the season
they ' bloom in such profusion and
beauty that the claim made for Rose
burg that she is the original rose city
seems well founded.
by commercial bodies in all parts of
Japan.
The party will sail from San Francisco
September 25 on the steamship Tenyo
Maru and will arrive at Yokohama Octo
ber 13, which is two days before the
American fleet will reach Japan. The
party will leave Yokohama for the return
trip on November 4. the day after the
Japanese Emperor's birthday. The list
of excursionists will close August 25 and
the cost will be between $600 and J700 for
each ticket, this price Including all ex
penses. MRS, MARIE KLUM IS DEAD
Lingers for Months After Being
Shot by William Durrell.
After six months of suffering, each day
expected to be her last, Mrs. Marie Klum,
victim of a Jealous paramour's revolver,
died at St. John Saturday and her body
was shipped yesterday to Woodland,
Wash., for burial.
Mrs. Klum was shot by William Dur
rell, a horseman, February 28, in front of
the new Nortonia Hotel. She was walk
ing with her husband when Durrell, who
had been trying to induce her to elope
with him, walked up behind them and
fired. He then shot and killed himself.
The bullet penetrated the woman's
spinal column and when taken to the
Good Samaritan Hospital late on the af
ternoon of the shooting It was announced
she could not live through the night She
was alive, though the next morning, and
the next, and she continued to live, much
to the amazement of the attending physi
cians. It was held, however, that she
might keep, up for an Indefinite period,
but the end must com ebefore many
months. She was bedridden to the end.
Almost all varieties thrive anj are
planted. Among the pink roses the
La France are 'probably the favorites
and the Papa Gontler are common In
the red varieties. Nearly everyone has
an American Beauty or two In the
yard, and the white La Marque and the
yellow Marechal Neil are the kinds
planted for those colors.
The Illustration shows the home of
J. F. Barker with a hedge of LaFrance
roses. Mrs. Walter Hamilton In her
yard has over 100 varieties of rosea
imnnp the other homes which are
especially attractive for their roses are
those of Mrs. W. T. Wright, Mrs. Har
vey Stanton. Mrs. M; DeVaney, Mrs.
Claude Cannon, Mrs. Ralph Terrlll. Mrs.
Albert Abrams. Mrs. W. R. Willis and
Mrs. F. E. Alley.
The death certificate assigns a gunshot
wound as the cause of death.
SKIN CLEARED
By Simple Clianse la Food.
It has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of Indi
gestion. There's undoubtedly much truth in
the statement, even to the cause of
many unsightly eruptions, which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
By changing her food a Kan. girl
was relieved of an ecrema which was
a great annoyance to her. She writes:
"For five months I was suffering
with an eruption on my face and hands
which our doctor called eczema and
which caused me a great deal of in
convenience. The suffering was al
most unbearable.
"The medicine I took only gave me
temporary relief. One day I happened
to read somewhere that eczema was
caused by indigestion. Then I read
that many persons had been relieved
of indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts.
"I decided to try it. I liked the
taste of the food and was particularly
pleased to notice that my digestion
was improving and that the eruption
was-disappearing as if by magic. I
had at last found, in this great food,
something that reached my trouble
"When I find a victim of this afflic
tion I remember my own former suf
fering and advise a trial of Grape-Nuts
food Instead of medicines." "There's a
Reason."
