Highways would make tho lumber a

because it ia tho administration meas

If passed, it in to he tried out fir-l

The proposal is to make an initial ,

Oniimult and Folks, ou thu Ilognshiel
river.
If it works out satisfactorily here,
the scheme will bo nojdieil i-i every

The loan will work no hardship on
the counties affected because the
debt is to be reXiid from the timber
itself after it is marketed. No speci

In (he past, soveral of the Port

Willamette valley that their brand
of hall and ooaahlug system so far
outclass this section of the state that
the games will be uninteresting and
theiofore, would be financial fail

whipped everything In the north,
soundly trouncing the Portland
teams. Salem so far Is champion of
Oregon aud Itoseburg Is a close run

a second game played on a neutral
floor Roseburg would win.
