FAG* mi What Ellsworth Expects To Do In Congress Harris Ellsworth, of Roseburg, re publican candidate for election aa representative from this new fourth congressional district of Oregon, made a very good talk at the meeting in Roseburg Sunday when the con gressional committee organized for conducting the campaign. Space does not permit the Sentinel to report Mr. Ellsworth's talk in full but following are quotations from his remarks: The Industrial Repair Co of Coquille Rural Teachers To Meet Sept. 26 Occasionally I have been asked thia question: "What do you think you can get for this district if you go to congress?" During the primary cam paign one newspaper, not fully aware of the true nature of. my dream of development for this district, accused me of thinking only in terms of "get" for this district.

To do this, i as your congressman, I am well • equipped by personal knowledge of logging and lumbering. I am thor- ’ oughly familiar with U.

I know * how the revested Oregon and Cali- c fomia lands, known as O. * C. lands, 1 are administered and about their sale t policies. I understand forest pro tec- 1 tian and conservation and will guard those principles. Unless your con- t gressman is technically versed on the f subject of timber he will be of small c use in helping to place our vast tim- t ber resource at the disposal of our \ nation. t In our district—particularly in the I Coos county area, is enough coal—al- c Are Making Over Their Old Clothes The program far the annual meet ing of Rural Teachers for September 26 has been planned | j 7 tlw commit tee, according to Martha E.

Traffic Death Rate In Oregon Down More Than Gaa Use The traffic death rate in Oregon continued to drop during the month of July, Earl Snell, secretary of state, today said gasoline consumtpion fig ures had disclosed. For ths first seven months of this year, traffic accidents claimed lives at the rate of 8.4 per one hundred million miles of travel while for the same period last year, the rate was ten. In actual fatalities, there were 147 deaths compared to 188 last year. The decrease in the death rate is even greater than the decrease ih travel, as shown by gasoline con sumption, Snell declared. Gasoline used for highway purposes dropped 7.7 per cent during the first seven months of the year. Against this 7.7 per ecnt drop, the death rate was down 16 per cent.
