Drangchurg, oct. 11.-One of the

The matter was reported to the

COTTON SEED UNMOLESTED.
State Officials Know of No Djscrimi
nation by British Officials.

Washington, oct 1O.-NuncroIs
inquiries to the state department over
the expectation of cottonsccd oil
brought out from officials today the
statement that to their knowledge
no interference with cottonsccd oil
shipments had been made by Great
Britain.
One shipment of cottonsced cake
to Holland was seized by British
SHIPS but upon investigation the
shipment was released by the British
government and the explanation
made that it would not interfere with
such shipments to neutral govern
ments. The state department has
been Informed that the Holland
American line has refused to accent
cotonsced oil for shipment to Hol-
land unless the shipment is consigned
to the Dutch government. That ac-
ton Is regarded as an ultra precau-
ton. The Dutch government has no.
titled the United States that it knows
nothing about the lines actions, over
which it has no supervision.
Difficulty in the way of exporting
the oil is regarded at the department
as being not a hostile action on the
part of foreign governments so much
as handicaps in getting ships will
ing to transport it.

Two Kinds OF Stimulants.

Good people everywhere agree that
the doctrine of Temperance in all
things" Is sound and that intemper-
ance. no matter what form 1t as
sumes. should be discouraged. Such
differences and dissensiOns as have
heretofore arisen in the ranks of
temperance advocates have been of
1.-The head" and not of "the heart"
Unfortunately, 1t IL impossible for all
Of us to be thoroughly informed on
all subjects and even the best people
sometimes make mistakes of "thc
head" This Is most regrcttable for
1t gives the opposition an opportunity
to show UP the ignorance of some of
the temperance teachers and the en-
tire cause thereby suffers.
In this connection 1T Is extremely
important that those who undertake
to teach others should first properly
inform themselves. especially I'm ref
erence to the class of agents COM
monty known as stimulants. Leading
scientists. both of this country and
abroad. havo clearly pointed out the
difference between the two classes Of
stimulants which are commonly used
as beverages. One of these classes,
represented by coffee. tea and Coca
Cola. owes its refreshing qualities to
the presence of u substance known as
caffeine. the physiological effect of

GO TO ROSEBURG
AND SEE WRECK
DRYS HAVE MADE
Bank Deposits Fall OF Half Mil
lion Dollars in Dry Town
ASSESSMENTS MUCH HIGHER
Real Estate Offered for Sale at Less
Than Valuation But No Bidders

The Committee OF One Hundred
says:
"If you want to find out what
dry Oregon will do for Oregon, so
to Roseburg and see what dry
Roseburg has accomplished y
Here's what it has done,
Il has cut down the bank deposits
BY over S500,0O0, In spite OF the
fact that there are now four banks
TO the two in existence when Rose
burg had licensed saloons, and that
the population has increased in pro-
portion TO the settling up Of South
ern Oregon by new settlers and inn
migration.
When Rosebure had licensed sa-
looms the tax levy, on one-third OF
the valuation was two mills. Since
Roseburg has gone dry the tax levy
has varied frcm eight to ten mills
on a full valuations and in addition
occupation taxes have been steadily
increased
Thee Committee Of One Hundred
boasts that dry Roseburg has erected
a Sll5,000 hotel. The hotel was
erected in 1913, stood idle and ten
antless for four months, and was
rescued from the bankruptcy court
BY liberal business men of the city,
among whom were Z. l.. Parrot, c.
w. Parks, Joseph Micelli, A. N. Or
colt and Henry Hart, all Of whom
are radically opposed TO dry town,
The Committee OF One Hundred
also h,asts Of the armory as an
achievement The armory was built
by state, county and city funds com
bined, and is not yet completed.
Over i40 leading business men
have signed a petition calling for a
local option election in Roseburg this
year, and such an election will be
held.
Many empty store buildings are to
be found on the leading business
streets--a condition that never ex-
listed when Roseburg had licensed
saloons. Scores of dwelling houses
are vacant for the first time in the
history OF the city.
John Hunter, leading contractor
and formerly a supporter of the drys,
is now advertising in Roseburg pa.
pers:
Business block for sale
for $500 less than present as
sessed valuation
Another property owner has Of
fered four parcels OF inside prop
erty for ss.e at less than the as
sessed valuation, and has not even
received tender.
One Of Re leaders OF the dry
forces in Roseburg is man who as |
former agent OF the Albany brew
cry made his fortune, and who to-
day Is the owner OF drug store.
He was at one time prominent In !
politics, was repudiated by the vot-
ers OF Douglas County, and is now
said to be seeking TO place lieuten-
ants in office through the dry move
ment.
Beggars are common on the streets, /
and many poor families are appeal
ing TO the local bankers for aid.
And yet The Committee Of One
Hundred says;
"If you want TO find out what Ore
gon dry will do for Oregon 20 TO
Roseburg and see what dry Roseburg
has accomplished.
