Judge Wouacott, Assessor Cal kins and the Roseburg papers are putting up a great talk alxmt the new proposed county taking away from Douglas $5,000, (XX) in assess able property. An examination of the Douglas county records show the actual figures to be $1,485,569. Quite a. difference. Can a young man succeed In busi ness without cash capital? Yes.
