SPEED TOPS WILL . BE -NEEDED SOON One of the next problems which jfhe county Is to become Interested is the establishment of a motorcycle police corps was the statement made today by County Judgo Marster. who has just returned from Port land where he has been attend ing a meeting of the State Highway Ooimnlssion. With the construction of several hundred- miles of paved highway it will become necessary to employ speedy cops tn order to pre vent an excessive rate of driving on the roads. At present several of the Oounties are maintaining motorcycle cops bult as yet the roads of Douglas county are not in a condition to de jmand such a safeguard. However, when the Pacific highway has been completed It will be up to the coun ty to employ a numbnr of men for this purpose. Judge Marsters states that the recent meeting of the com mission was very successful and a great deal of important business was transancted. Douglas county had ifew matters up for consideration but received attention in th details list ed on the program. The Comitock crossing contract and the Stage road paw improvements were awarded nnd a readvertisenient was orduixd for the Yoncalla section of the highway. (By Associated Ptprs.) DETROIT. July 1 1.

ARE As a result of last night's fire on South, Mill street, over 115 phones have been put out of commission, 19 lines being affected by the blaze, which melted and burned the cabin carrying the wires connecting the phones and the exchange. Practical ly the entire south end of the city and the farmer linea in that direc tion are without phone service nnd the pat i otis are able to sympathize with those of the cities where the strike is now in .progress. Workmen are busy splicing the wires, hut it will probably be two or three days before communication can be re stored. WALLACE BENSON IS Assessor Guy Cordon has received a card from his friend, Lieut. Wal lace Benson, son of former Governor Frank Benson, and at one time a resident of Roseburg Lieutenant Benson is now with the message cen ter of the army of occupation und Is assigned to the tusk of decipher ing: code messages, a very responsible position.

Settle, who is in Aiercy hospital recovering from lnjur.es received in a mowing ma chine accident near Oakland, are that both legs are badly cut just above the ankle and that his wounds are doing as well as could be ex pected. It is believed that ho will not lose either foot unless unex pected complications arise. It is be lieved that the bone of one leg. which was completely severed, will Unlto. The cords in the instep of the other foot which was cut, will probably cripple him worse than the fievered bone, although It 'la said by mechanical appliances he may be able to walk without difficulty in time, Mrs. Settle is with him at the hospital and will remain tlmro unti he is able to return to his home.

SON OF GREAT LEADER Is One of the Organizers of The American Legion for Veterans of the World's War Is Very Popular With Soldiers. "Teddy" in coming to Oreaou and will probably speak In Roseburg. Not the late " T. R." of the big stick tWe gleam n'g smile, the fearless words, but the promising son of a great lather. The announcement of his trip to 'this section was made to day when local boys who are inter ested in the organization of the American Legion, for worm's war veterans, mado formal application to headquarters in Portland, unking that Lietuenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt make Rjosehurg one of his sftopkdng p lares for an address. As one of the prime organizers and well wishers of the American Legion, the great organization of ex service men of the world war, Roosevelt has been indefutiguable in his efforts to make the Legion n great .success. Tin re have been ru mors of personal ambition connecuU with Ilia work, but he downed trie in by bis stead f ist refusal to accept the chairmanship, or any other office U the organization, at the St. Louis caucus. This, in spite of the J act i.hat for nearly an hour the roof of tile great convention hall trembled to the shouts of "We want Teddy!" voiced by delegates from every slate m the Union. "Teddy" is now on a speaking tour of the country in the behalf o! the Legion. He is due -in Oregon 'ii September. Original dates called for his appearance in Portland, Sep tember 17, but it Is very likely thiit the d'ate will bp changed tor a week later in order that he may be a speaker at the first state convention of the Legion to lw held in Port land, September 24, 25 nnd 2fi. The same week that Oregon i holding its convention the slate of Washington plnns its state meeting in Seattle, so that Roosevelt wil !. able to attend both sessions. He will not confine his sprakim: 'o Portland and Seattle, however, for his tour will Inciudo several valley I cities and probably at least one city ;n eastern Oregon. Pendleton.

Except for prompt and efficient notion on the tpart of the local fire department, iji is probable that a large amount of property in the Kouth end of the city would have been destroyed hist night when the wood sheil of the Ray Farm lee prop urt.y. Sou Hi Mill street, was burned. The fire originated in some unknown manner, presumably be cause of a carelessly thrown match. Although tho water was turned into the mains nt the flrtft alarm, it was many minujtes bofore tho water reached Mie scene of tho conflagra tion, which spread to tho adjoining buildings. With little water, at a low pressure, Mip fire department put up a good fight, and soon had the blaze under control without a great loss. MA Kl V FX PFIt I.M FXTS. A. G.
