TURKEY CROP" 100000.
Douglas County Sends Out 10000 Birds
for Thanksgiving.

Roseburg-Not less than 10000 tur.
keys were shipped from Douglas county
for Thanksgiving dinners, largely in
San Francisco. For the birds at least
100000 was paid to the farmers who
raised them. These figures must be
considered with the important fact that
many of the turkey raisers throughout
the country are holding their product
for the Christmas trade. Ordinarily
the late shipments bring from a cent
to a cent and half more per pound
than the Thanksgiving shipments.
Those citizens of Douglas county who
have engaged in the raising of turkeys
during the past year have Jared excep-
tionally well, the price paid by buyers
this fall showing a substantial increase
over prices paid in former years. No
birds were purchased in the county for
less than 81 cents, while in many in
stances the birds brought the raiser 23
cents.
J. II. Grande shipped 1919 tons of
dressed birds to San Francisco, this
being the largest individual shipment
Contrary to usual conditions, Roseburg
shipped more birds this year than Oak
land, Notwithstanding the fact that
Oakland has held the record as tur-
key raising section for many years.

REGULATING ITS DAYLIGHT.
Norm American.

Philadelphia North American.
Ordinarily II would appear as If an
effort TO regulate the daylight by act
of parliament was, in pure idiocy. on
part with Canute's attempt to stay
the incoming tide by royal command
And yet this is what has been done
by the sedate and somewhat prosaic
members OF the British house of com
mons, who recently passed what is
known as ''the daylight saving bill"
This measure is now in the hands of
select committee, aud In the ordt
nary course may reach the house of
lords, where the heredity legislators
will have to wrestle with 1t to the best
of their ability.
Briefly the object of the bill is to
give to all who toll within the United
Kingdom, whether they be scientists.
| Legislators, merchants. artisans or
skilled laborers, an hour more OF sun
shine each day, or. rather, an addition
al hour In which TO enjoy it. Should

King Edwards island realm will have
to be advanced one hour from the
third Sunday in April to the third
Sunday in Seutember. The change,
theoretically, would take place at 2
a. m. which would then become 3
a. m. and the effect would be that he
who went to bed at midnight on the
l
Saturday and slept for eight hours
would rise by by his bedroom clock.
On the third Sunday in September he
could sleep for nine hours, but would
| find 1t only s o'clock when he arose,
for the hour lost in. April would be
restored The net effect would thus
be to gain one hour of daylight
throughout the finest months of the
year by rising earlier and moving for
ward all arrangements for work or
business. :

REPUBLICAN CITY PLATFORM.


We, the Republicans of the Shy of
Durango, In convention assembled do
hereby adopt the following platform
as expressing our views upon the is
sues of the ensuing campaign.
l. We favor an economical and
business-like administration of all city
affairs, and denounce the extrava-
gance and Incompetence of the pres
ent Democratic city government which
has neglected our streets and alleys
until they are dangerous to use. yet
1t has burdened our people with un-
reasonable taxes and assessments, and
by unbusiness-like methods in the con
struction Of needed public improve
ments.
2. We favor public improvements
as fast az the public revenues will
permit, aud favor an eight hour day
for labor at not less than $3.50 per
day In all city work. and pledge the
completion of our sewer system.
3. AS to the issue of low license
oAa htGh hNShccp VIC ldsOl the tudCl
ment of a high license ordinance, with
severe penalties for its violation, and
forfeiture of license at second
convictions. and we demand the equal
and impartial enforcement of the laws
and ordinances without fear or favor.
4. We favor the same closing laws
for rooms or places devoted to pool,
billiards and other games, as is pro
vided by law for the closing OF ga.
looms. and demand the strict enforce
ment of the law forbidding minors TO
frequent the same, or to play games
therein.
s. We demand the rigid exclusion
of the red light district" from bust
ness and residence sections. and de.
nounce the present Democratic city
administration for permitting this in.
famous traffic to be carried on In the
heart Of the principal business street.
9. We believe that business. and
not partisan politics. should govern In
city affairs, and that the principles of
the civil service law should apply In
making appointments. and pledge
non-partisan administration of the
business OF the city. and invite all who
Iavor these principles to unite with
's IN supporting the nominees of this
who are pledged to carry
hem out. ~

SEA RICH.


This years large catch Of all
kinds of fish, both on the Grand
banks and along the Nova Scotia
coast. has tended to make the price
of all fish products much lower than
in former years, according 10 a re-
port made by Consul General David
F. Wilbur of Halifax. On account
of the difficulty in getting men the
number of vessels sailing from ports
along the south shore Of Nova
Scotia has decreased in the last few
years.
