MONDAY, JULY 18, 1017. Xo. 108 1917 CHAUTAUQUA Famous Preacher and Plat form Lecturer Grips Audi ence With Personality. LARGE CROWD PRESENT Was Well Known Here and Has lec tured at Baptist Church a Num ber of Times Vuotutious . From liectui-o Given. "I am pleased to be back in Hose burg again. My visit remainda me of a trip to Heaven I see so many old friends here that I did not ex pect to meet." Thus Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, pastor of the Temple Baptist church of Los Angeles, and former pastor of the White Temple, Portland, open ed the annual Roseburg chautauqua . Saturday evening. A. large crowd heard the first night's program and went away inspired by the words of the evangelist. Dr. Brougher is a veritable cy clone, and there is no doubt about his magnetic ability to get his audi ence with him and keep it there. Wit and humor abound in his talk, and optimism is the predominating note. Taking the topic "What is Under Your Hat?'r Dr. Brougher gave a diversified talk, touching on every thing from eats and styles to democ racy, Teddy Roosevelt and woman suffrage. Health and hapiness go together, according to Dr. Brougher, and it is within the power of anybody to lave both. Good health is a matter of simple science, which Dr. Broug.ier claims to follow, and judging from his vigor, optimism and enthusiasm, the formula works. Most people do not know that Dr. Brougher has a grown son who is also a preacher. Ydung Brougher preached in the Baptist church in Portland yester day. Good health comes from five things: Take plenty of fresn air; sleep out of doors and breath deep. Tak? exercise; go through simple ex ercise every morning and evening. Take cold water baths. Eat iho right kind of food in the proper manner. Laugh. Those are the principal re quisites to health and happiness. "If you cannot control your eat ing," he said. "Have your tailor make you a plaid vest. Then you can keep a check on your stomach. "Have pep and ginger The man that amounts to anything never shuf fles along the street. The man who gets there is the man with the pur pose who walks with his chin up and acts like he was going; some defin ite place. "Like your job. V hatever you are doing; make the most of It. Give it all there Is in you and you will succeed. The man who loafs, crabs, and whines will never get any far ther. Ho will r.crer g--t paid for more than he does because he never does 'enough for what he is paid. "Many people are dead but are not conscious of it. Don't be a dead one. Be up and doing. Dr. Brougher aroused a storm of applause when he mentioned that as sure as fate after this war democracy will spread around the world and one-man rule will be a thing of tne past. "Party lines no longer exist In the old sense. A man is no longer a re . publican because his father was. He does not vote according to the dic tates of a party boss. I am proud of the Pacific coast for having led the way. where women are strong enough m to make a fight for good government and make the country a fit place for children to live in. In peaking of the wair, Dr, S Brougher said that the women taking their part in it, and (refer ring to dress) some of them are showing more back-bone than the men. Men and women are coming to stand side by side as equals on but one platform and the time is almost here when all will be judged by the same moral standard. There will be no such a thing an a double moral standard and the man who sins will be as strongly condemned as the woman is today. Better sense is coming In the mat ter of dress. You cannot tell whetiv er some old birds are 60 or 16 to sen them coming down the street. Men's dress Is not sensible, and is uncum fortable." "There Is nothing so disgusting ns the pessimist, thinks Dr. Brnughe: and he proceeded' to burn this com mon specie with several different for mulae. Hre Is one: "A pessimist is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black hat that fsn t. Optimism was described as a grat help and Influence and Its cultivation was advised In all people. Sif. Brougher stated that he saw no reason why people should remain sober and solemn at prayer meeting. He has from 600 to 700 people at tending prayer meeting in his church, and thoy laugh and aoplaud just as if they were at a theatre. "Man must be master of himself and of his circumstances. Xo man can succeed long doing wrong. You cannot be happy long doing wrong. You must learn the difference be tween right and wrong and develop your powers to do right by refusing to do that which is wrong. Learn to segregate the good from th3 bad and to distinguish the various shades. No man is all he ought to be until he is master of himself.' People were compared to the bee; which comes to the city from the mountains and hunts the sweetness and honey from the flowers, aud the buzzard, which sweeps through the sky and hunts out the dead and cor ruption. Kindness, love and optimism were compared to the bee, and the slandered, scandal-monger and pessi mist to the buzzard. Here follow a few quotations from his lecture: God Almighty never went to the trouble to make two exactly like you. I'm surprised that God Almighty doesn't consult you about your neigh bor you know so much about him. People who live in glass houses (Continued on page 6.)

(By Associated press.) WASHINGTON, 'July 1G. Mtobl Hzation of the national guard has begun. While no orders for em barkation of state troops for France have been received nor will they be given until after August 15, when the entire force will be formally drafted Into tho army, there aro many things which indicate that some of tho divisions will be ready to sail soon after that date. Ap proximately 125,000, one half of the national guard strength, is being as sembled at present. Work of guard ing bridges and public property that has been done by militia since the declaration of war will be taken over by civilian home guard. In some of the most Important muni tions factories federal guardsmen will, however, be retained. Fifteen States Unorganized. WASHINGTON, July 16. Owing to the fact that fifteen states have not yet reported organization of the exemption boards, the plans of the war department are somewhat ham pered. Drawing of names for ' c selective draft, has been delayed sev eral days awaiting the organization of these exemption boards, and under the existing conditione thisl work cannot bo gotten at before Satur day at the earliest, and possibly not before Monday, July 23.

PW DEALERS Word was received In Roseburg today by several auto dealers that a number of Portland dealers will leave that city early in August and head their cars this way, making their destination Ashland. This will be tho annual "honk honk" trip that has become so popular and on ac count of tho many requests from, this section the Portland men decided to come to this city this year. It is regarded as possible that the dealers wUl make their run across the state at the same time that the Oregon State Motor Association of ficials stage their tour to Crater lake, during tho fore part of August.

STEVENS Definite Information Received by Adjutant Gen. era I White. THEORIES AREEXPLODED Muny Conjectures Had Been Ex pressed mid Have Now Ileen Learned to Have I teen Unfounded. Adjutant General George A. White, has received definite infor mation luat the Oregon Coast Artil lery will do sent, immediately fol lowing mouiiization, to the torts at the mouth of the Columbia river, thus setting at rest the hundreds of suppositions which have been pre valent throughout the state for sev eral weeks. Tho destination of the coast artillery has been only a mat ter of conjecture, and many differ ent theories were expressed each purporting to give sonic reason which would disclose tho ultimate location of the corps. All troops of the national guard will be mobilized July 25 according to word received by the adjutant general and all, with the exceptfcm of tho coast artillery, will go at once to 'Pal to Alto where they will go into training. The artillery or ganization, consists of 1411 men and recruited to lull war strength. while some of the companies have a waiting list. In preparation for this call the local company is working Indus triously to get Into condition. With a company of practically new men, Capt. Buchanan has had no easy task in diilliug them In the many duties but at the present time has tho work well in hand and tho com pany shows up in good form. This week a class in semaphoring and signalling will bo held each evening, it being necessary for a large num ber to be able to send and receive messages in this way. Orders have been issued from the company headquarters, commanding all men of tho fourth company to appear at the armory, in uniform, Wednesday morning at 8 a. m., July 25. Drills will be held morning and afternoon and from that date the boys will bo put.through their regu lar discipline. lr. is not known how soon they will leave fhr the fort, but it is prob able that they will entrain about a week or ten days from the time thoy are called. At thd present time there is room for two or three more men and a couple of coolt3. It is desir ed to take all Douglascounty men in the company, and the officers do not want, to call on the waiting list which some of tho other companies have unless It becomes necessary to do so. Supplies will arrive in a few days and tho 4th company will be fully equipped for the first time since its organization. 0.H Opening of the Oregon & Califor nia grant lands, for which arrange ments havo ween practically complet ed by the general land office, st Wnshlngon, D. C, is clouded with un certainty as a result of the attorney general's opinion advising against payment of any penalties or interest on taxes to be paid by the govern mont. Senator Chamberlain believes the attorney general's office Is wrong on the law in saying the taxes are not a lien on the lands. Congressman Sln nott held the some view, and it Is also known that some of the attorney general's advisers do not agree ith the opinion, which is rendered in his name hy Assistant Kearfut. Commissioner Tallnian of tho gen eral land office plainly is stumped by the opinion. He withholds ronmien and is undecided whether to follow tho advice of the department of jus tice ami proceed with the effort to dispose of the lands, with an appar ent rloui resting upon the title. Sinnolt has written Attorney Gen eral Brown, of Oregon, Uniting sug gestions for solutions. It is consid ered certain that congress will do nothing, since its legal advisor re ports that no lien for taxw exists and any payment hy the government would be mere gratuity. Assistant Attorney General Kearfut, comment ing on his opinion today, was positive in the d-rlnration that the taxes cre ate no Hen on the lamN. II dons not feel called on to ad vis1 rontrre?s as to Its policy, he says, but no legis lation Is needed ns the lands may be disposed of without d-lay Ore pen counties.

LIGHTNING SETS The Forest Supervisor Reports Thirty-six Fires in the National Forest. ALL UNDER CONTROL Finvs Wert? Karted on High Points Whore They Were Quickly Seen and Kiwi I y Reached by Forest Hangers. j Thirty six forest Tires wero'set by tho heavy electric storm Satur day night, according to Forest Super visor S. C. Bartrum. Mr. Bartrum reported shortly alter noon today that all were under control Mid will bo extinguished within a short lime. Tho storm was ono of the hardest ever experienced in the forest. It was also peculiar in tho fact that it covered almost tho entire national forest, while the state tlmlor uli tricts were not touched to an greal extent. The fires wore Bet out all over tho government forest, every district being busily engaged in quelling the flames. One of the saving features of the storm was that It struck chiefly the high portions, setting tho fires In places, where although tho timber Is very dry, tho flames travel vory slowly. In nearly every Instance also the trails led closely to the points thus exposed, and men aro kept station ed at many points, so that It was only a very few minutes after the fifes had been started that thoy wore reported to headquarters. Men wero picked up in Hoseburg and the surrounding vicinity and were sent out, quickly ti: the danger dis tricts to assist the foresters In their labors. Mr. Bartrum loft oa: ly Sunday morning and spent the entire day in the Hold supervising the fire fight ing in the most dangerous places where tne Are was raging uncontrol- ed. At the same time he kept In communication with other sections, with tho result that, the fires wero soon extinguished o,r placed under control. Tiio Douglas Kite Patrol reports only one firo of any consequence. Mr. Lander says that hlsUorrltory was missed to a great extent by the storm nnd that the lightning struck in only a very few places and then did not do any damage. IS By Orin Moore, a resident of the Can yonville district was quite seriously and probably fatally injured Satur day when a largo derrick fork under which he was working broke and fell, striking him on the head. His skull was fractured by the fork and ono of the tines penetrated his bark. The accident occurred on the O. Bey ers placo abovo Canyonvlllo and iwdljraJ aid was summoned from Hiddte. Dr. Fawcett and n nurse rushed to the young man's assist ance and gave his wounds attention. It whs found that his Injuries were vfiy serious and It is .loubtful whether he will ever fully recover, IIo Is well known in (hat district and this city where ho has visited upon a number of occasions. A m-ar drowning occurred yester day afternoon tit the forks or tho North and South I'mpquu rivers when Bert Krlleh, the well known driver for the Standard Oil Com pany, became exhausted in mid stream and was rescued by Harry Pearce. the local harness dealer. Mr. Flitch, with several other men had iH-en swimming and ho was standing on tho mi k of land be tween the North nnd South Umpqua rivers preparatoiy to diving. As ho dove into the watnr he was car ried by the current to the North limit-! qua side and tho as the waters of that river Is so much colder than the other, his brealh was taken away. He swam so mo distance, how ever, without regaining his breath, but was still some distance from the hore. Ho then looked toward tho banks where Hurry Pearce was standing, and although he was un abln to utter a word, his looks told that he needed help, and Harry Im mediately dove Into the water and started for him. Harry had just finished a long swim and was pretty well exhausted also, but by main strength managed to reach the ex hausted man and helped him to shore, where they both lay for some time completely exhausted. Mr. Flitch had gono down once, before being reachod by Mr. Pearce. EXPECTS TO BE El A letter received tn this city to day from Woodley Stephenson states that It Is the general opinion at the Fort ltlley camp, where several Hose burg members of tho hospital corps are located, that tho boys will soon bo returned to their respective regi ments.

He states that such punish ment is very undesirable as the work imposed upon those in quarters Is very severe. SUIT CASE YIELDS E Plot Laid to Tie up All of the Copper Producing Properties.
