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.

DELAY DRAWING NAMES
Delay in State Exemption Hoards
Organizing, Upsets Plan of
- War Department Steamer
Grace Submarined.
(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.
Strainer Grace Submarined.
W AS II I NGTO N , July 16 . An
nouncement was made ntthe state
department today that the Unit.
States steamer Grace had been sub
marined. Three members of the
crew, one of them an American, were
killed, and two members of the
naval gunners' crew aboard tho ves
sel were Injured. Survivors of the
sinking ship were successful in mak
ing port.
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.
A number of HoBeburg dealers are
planning to entertain the Portland
autoists upon their arrival in this
city.

ARTILLERY WILL
GO TO FT. 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. If not satisfied with Fettle-

Both of these Hoseburg boys are

this section Is proud to have such
boys to represont tho United States
across the waters. George is now
holding the position of sergeant,
while Bob has been promoted to cor
poral, and both are in command of a
large number of men. They have
boon stationed to tho fort at
New York for some time col-j
lecting and inspecting material for
an aeroplane base to bo erected in j
Franco and tho news for them to
embark came very suddenly, allow- j
ing tnem no lime to previously in
form their relatives and friends.
Both of the boys are experienced
carpenters and it was for that rea
son that they were promoted so sud
denly, as they have been in tho ser
vice but a short time.
Their duties upon arrival In
France will be taken up at once and
they will commence tho erection of a
large United States aeroplane base
immediately bohinu the lines. It will
be their duty to build and repair
the aeroplanes that are taken to that

All of their letters sent to friends
here show that they wore very eager
to get to Franco and see actual ser
vice. According to this late word,
their hopes will be realized.

The Forest Supervisor Reports
Thirty-six Fires in the

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

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.

Mr. Lander says that hlsUorrltory

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.
