Roseburg Residents Returning
From Ashland Were Badly
Injured in Wreck.
WERE GOING TOO FAST
Two Girls Are In Hospital Itocelvini?
Treatment Cor Was liad.ly Heut
and Twisted Weaver Sus
tains Hcrioua Injuiius.
One of the .most serious auto ac
cidents to occur In Douglas county
for some time happened at about 1
o'clock this morning when the Cad
illac 8 auto driven and owned by
Gene Parrott, a prominent resident
of this city, turned turtle and left
the road near the main street of
Canyonville, 35 miles south of Hose
burg ' and seriously injured several
occupants of the car.
The auto party, consisting of Gene
Parrott. a Roseburg capitalist; VV.
J. Weaver, proprietor of a local ho
tel; Floyd Miller, son of Sam Miller,
of Dillard; Pat Blake, traveling
Balesman for the Standard Oil-Company;
John Burt, travlllng sales
man; Lola Allen, a local nurso, and
Bertha Althaus, clerk at the cigar
counter of a local hotel, was return
ing to this city from Ashland where
they had been attending the roundup
and started ror Roseburg yesterday
evening.
- At the time of the accident, Gene
Parrott was driving, and from re
ports reaching here today, was going
at a very rapid r-ite of speed. The
car had Just passed through the
main street of Canyonville and was
about to make the turn to the road
going west past Canyonville school
house. As they heared the turn, the
driver became aware of the fact that
they were going too fast. In making
the sharp turn at that point, the
car swerved from the road, turning
half over. The top, which was up,
struck the ground and threw the
car back on Its side. Owing to the
ract mai mo iop saveu me km Hum
turniTTg a complete summersault, it
Is probable that the lives of several
of the passengers were saved. As the
car lay on lis side. Gene Parrott, who
was not seriously Injured, made a
survey of the injured passengers and
immediately phoned to the'' Motor
Shop in this city, asking them to dis
patch a service car to the scene of
the accident at once. O. C. Baker
then notified Dr. B. B. .Stownrt, or
the local firm of Drs. Seely, Sethcr
& Stewart, and the two left for Can
yonville, arriving- there shortly after
4 a. ni. The Injured occupants of the
car were then given first aid and
placed In an autowid hurried to this
city, where a more careful examina
tion of their injuries was made.
The two girls of the party, Lola
Allen and Bertha Althaus, were tak
en to the Mercy hospital, where they
received treatment. It was found
upon examination by Dr. Stewart
that Miss Allen was very seriously
injured, her knee cap having been
torn loose by the fall from the car,
as It turned. She was otherwise
bruised and Injured, but was resting
easy this morning. It will probably
be some time before she Is able to be
about.
Bertha Althaus was also bruised
and cut. Her shoulder was dislocat
ed and it was thought that Beveral
bones were broken. . She was also
Improved this rrtorning, and her fn
iurles have been treated.
John Burt! another passenger of
tho ill-fated auto, had his ankles
and arms sprained and was bruised
and injured. His injuries were not
serious, however, and will probably
recover soon.
W. J. Wenver was probably Injur
ed worse than the other occupants
of the car, and suffered the breaking
of three ribs when the car turned
and struck the low embankment on
the side of the road. He was taken
to a room In the I'inpqua hotel and
received medical attention. He was
Injure considerably and It was
thought for a while that ho suffered
a hip fracture.,
Flovd Miller was not seriously In
Jured and escaped the accident with
- a few minor bruises ana scratcnes.
Gene Parrott. the driver, had hi:
wrists sprained and was bruised and
scratched in a number of places on
his body.
The wrecked auto was able to
proceed to this city under Its own
power and was placed In the Motor
Shop, where It will be repaired. The
top of the car was completely de
molished and the tonneau was bad
ly smashed. The steering wheel was
bent Into the windshield ami was
twisted beyond repair. The fenders
nnd other parts were also bent and
twisted, and tho damage done wli'
amount to a great deal of money
probably several hundreds of dol
lars. The whole cause of the accident
ran be attributed to the fact that a
high rate of speed was being main
tained at the time the car turned
the corner, The accident Is a very
lamentable affair and the Injured
people will probably be under tbe
care of physicians for some time.
Parrott and Weaver left here sev
eral days ago In Mr. Parrott's auto
for Ashland and .made the trip to
that city alone. When they started
from Ashland last evening, the two
gentlemen intended to make the re
turn trip nero alone, -but as they
passed the Mod ford hotel they caught
a glimpse of the other Roscburgers
In the lobby and Btopped to exchange
greetings. . Mr. Parrott then invited
them to make the trip to Roseburg
in his auto and save carfare and the
Invitation was ncecpted. Mr. Par
rott and Mr. Weaver occupied the
front seat of the car at the time of
the accident.

Skirmish Practice and Other War.
frtiv Methods Occupy Time
Boys Anxious to Tnko
Part In War.
Doubtful as to whether the call
(or the 4 th company and hospital
coriis of this city will arrive here
Sunday, July 15, as has been e
ported for several" months, or
whether tho (lute August 5 will be
the time for mobilization, the mem
bers of these organizations are this
week making plans for the disuoeul
of their business, so thut they will
be iTady to leave in the e ynt tho
call arrives tliie month. The offlce-s
of the local company "have stated
that no orders huvo beou received
countermanding July 15 for mobili
zation, and It is thought very prob
able that the Uoseburg boys will
be assembled at the urmory com
mencing at that date.
With .ne more days until July
15, tho local soldier boys are very
uuny, and the excitement becomes
more keen eTicb, day, as the boys
gather in groups on tho streets and
in the armory, dmcusslug as to
whether they will be sent to France
or be placed on Southern. Pacuif
tracks tloiue euard duty. They arc
all very anxious to don the olive j
drab, and although the prospects fori
a pleasant 4.11110 are very slim, they
are willing to forego tho fortunes of
war and have a part in putting down
the kaiser.
At the Fourth Company drill last
evening the boys showed -more en
thusiasm than at any previous timo
and drilled with . a great deal of
"pep" and ''ginger".. Skirmish
practice hus beeli held and they are
becoming very proficient in tho
work.
Since Captain Vlncil has been
trunsU-rrod to Fort Hiley, the hos
pital corps has had very little chance
for drill and aieonly required to re
port once each week. Major Ches
hire, of liugene,-who has been plac
ed iir charge of the local sanitary
troops, will not take active control
until mobilization odrors aro receiv
ed. Until that time Sergeant Geo.
Willett is in charge and has been
spending his time in recruiting the
organization to full war strength,
Humphrey Rankin, a former resi
dent of .voseourg, but at present
located at i'ortland, has made ap
plication to the corps for member

E
Cordwood Will be Furnished
to Local Residents From the
' National Forest.
CONSIDERED PRACTICAL
CVml SliortJitfe Ijooius Up Tluit Porcce
Such Measures to lie Followed
.Mills Will Have Chance
to Obtain Material.
S. C. Bartrum. supervisor of the
Unipqua national foreBt has becn
Instructed to afford all posible fa
cilities to local residents wishing to
obtain cord wood and the head de
partment urges the more extensive
ubo of fuel from the national for
ests to meet the possible coal short
age In the west next winter. Ranch
ers and town dwellers have both been
advised to be forehanded in making
arrangemene8 for the supply of their
fuel needs.
Settlers may obtain this cord wood
from the foreBt free for their home
use. but parsons cutting and hauling
It in order to sell to others are re
quired to pay low rates. Since the
material thus utilized Is mainly dead
timber, Ha removal. It is explained,
helps clear up the forest and thus
lessens the lire menace. Timber
which is insect-Infested or old and
deteriorating, or otherwise damagod
or undesirable from the forester's
standpoint, is also disposed of for
fuel purposes. The demand within
the next twelve months Is expected
to break all records.
There is a possibility of a coal
shortage because of the increased
demand for coal by Industrial plants
and tho lack of sufhclont menus of
transportation. It is believed that
it will be quite feasible and econom
ical for many weBtern communities
to utilizo an Increased quantity of
national foreBt wood for fuel next
winter. When dead and down tim
ber or other timber which is deter
iorating . is not available for cord
wood, the cutting of mnture living
trees will be permitted to tho ox
tent necessary to meet demands.
While wood as a fuel is less eco
nomical to handle and use than coal,
it is In many parts of the west cheap
er, even at normal price level.
Stoves and furnaces, however, equip
ped to burn coal usually require dif
ferent grates to permit of tho
substitution to advantage, and this
is pointed out as one reason why the
householder will do well to look
ahead and decide beforehand how he
will keep warm and what he will
feed the kitchen stove next winter.
Where saw mills are operating In
the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns, there Is a chance
lo obtain slabs and other material
that ordinarily goes to waste. Since
green or wot wood is both poorer
fuel and. heavier to transport and
handle than dry, mill waste as It
comes from the saw Is relatively un
desirable for Immediate, use. For
this reason, as well as in order to bo
sure of a supply, the government
foresters suggest that a good-sized
woodpile In the backyard or under
cover before winter Bets In may be
found a thrifty provision.

A. P. Ruiter, father of Dr. V. L.
Rufter, of this city, was quite pain
fully injured last evening when

while gathering cherries broke,
throwing him to the ground, break

He la resting easily this morning and
is expected to be fully recovered
soon.
The district boundary board met
yesterday and can vanned the vote
on consolidation of a number of
school districts near Glide. On the
face of the returns It was found that
In district No. 68, the majority In
favor of consolidation was one vole.
An affidavit was produced from
gentleman in that district stated
that he had voted for consolidation
hut had lived In the state only five
months, not knowing when, he voted
that any certain length of residence
was required. Upon the strength o
the affidavit the board threw th
vote out and consolidation failed to
carry. Many persons Interested on
both sides of the question were pres
ent. A canvass was alio made in the
union of Wilbur and Winchester dis
tricts in a union high school, and it
was found in favor of the measure,
as previously reported. The canvass
of the union high school vote at Elk
ton was latu aside until more com
plete returns are received. It is,
however, practically assurred In fa
