The sweltering heat under thl big top erected by the eutertaln- : ment company, will not be a -comparison to the fig-curative heat of the meeting which is to ho hold at the city hall. Between the scrap of the . mayor and fire department and the ' present water situation some of the members of the council are very apt to deliver some Bryansonlan speeches, with real Billy Sunday pep . and a number of gooi American ex pressions freely Interpersed with oXher argumentative ammunition. Ii fact several of them are all primed and cocked are and ready to explode at a moments notice. The mayor has been storing up vials of wrath ever since the water pressure got so low he couldn't have hot cikes foi breakfast, and now that the lire de r-artmeut threatens to walk out o strike, just at the time the city re corder, chief of police, city attorney, president of the council and chair man of the water and light com mittee, have all elected to take their vacations, the mayor Is "sort o' h tin like." H" h" n ultimatum In his head, which will be delivered t the council, expressing a sentiment which might be given in three sho. snappy words, -that probably look hotter out of print. Anyhow If was Is what Shormau sivid It was, some body Is going to go, plenty of war this evening. LVitm::i at xoox today. Miss Helen Emory, af IJnipqun, and Harry 1). Matthews, of Mxon vllle, were united In wedlock today at high noon. The ceremony, which was witnessed only -by a tew close friends, occurred at the parsonage of the Methodist Episcopal church, Kov.

It is hoped that the matter can lit satisfactorily adjusted as tho loss of tho department will endanger the city to a decied degrte. Several o: those against whom the mayor ha made charges have vacated . thoir rooms at the city hall and their res ignations will probably be requested tonight. The mayor has directed his ttark not at the department but a a few individuals, and both ho Bli the council greatly regret that the other members of the organization have talicu afront nt his statements. However, he says he will proceed with the celan-up but hopes that the members of the department who art not concerned In the affair do no consider themselves Included witl those against whom Hit attack i rectcd.

PLANS WERE CHANGED Instead of Coming to Itosebiii-R Uy Tmln It. K. Smith Was Forced to Tuko to the Air at Sacramento and Did Not Stop Here. Carrying $50,000 in treasury sav ings certificates, Robert 13. Smith, director of the war loan organiza tion of the Twelfth Foderal Reserve District, passed over the city yes terday morning at on altitude of ap proximately 10,000 feet in one of the most thrilling races ever at tempted on the- Pacilic coast, the flight being a race against time to put the securities aboard the steamed bound for Alaska before Its depar turt for that territory. With the aid of the fast speeding plane the mission wiis accomplished and the securities "are north bound having been delivered Into the bauds of the captain of the steamer 20 hours af ter they vere issued to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith's original intention had been to travel from San Francisco to Roseburg by train, distributing his certificates to the various finan cial institutions while enroute. How ever alter leaving Ban Francisco and ind crossing the hay to Oakland be received word that the sailing of the Alaska steamer had been advanced from Sunday evening to Sunday noon and seeing that he would be too late he abandoned the Idea of having the plane meet him in Roso inirg, and climbing Into the cockpit of a huge DeHaviland machine driv en by Lieutenant IS. E. Neuhig, started northward. He had planned lo avoid the trip over the Siskiyou mountains by having the airplane come over the mountains from Sac ramento to Roseburg. while he would travel by special train milk ing a distribution of his tickets on the way, hut on account of tho un expected change in the sailing date t the steamer was forced to change his plans. Upon making the change Mr. Smith sent a Hpecial wire to The News as follows: "Will not arrive In Roseburg aF per schedule for the train vns not maning fast enougL time, rinve se cured an airplane at Sacramento ind will pass over Roseburg at nine a'clock Sunday morning. Am sorry f could not be in Hoseburg for that as my first plans. We are going ln make (he trip In time to catch he Seattle boat." Stops at IEcHing. .Leaving Sacra men o Mr. Smith , and his army pilot flew directly tn itedding. malting the trip i.i one lour and thirty minutes. They spent j lie nipht there continuing north ivor the Sir.-iyous early Snn:ia uorning. Flying over tlie mountains it a high altitude ho did rot de fend until forced to stop at Kugene "or gasoline and oil. Helng unable to make the desired stops ilong the way ho sent tho certifi cates from Sacramento to Portland by express and will make the dis 1 tribution of them upon his return trom Seattle. Ho left an Francis co carrying an even million dollars In saving certificates which will bo chvuieu among the banks of this dis trict. His machine passed safely over tho difficult mountain route to this count V '. rune h in i? Rnsi'liiiry n vnrv 'few minutes after nine o clock. Al though he was travelling at a high altitude the droniug of the engiuo could be plainly heard as the power ful machine rushed forward at a speed of n hundred miles an hour. Many who heard the sound of the engine were unable to see tho plane which was very indistinct as it sail ed through the smoky haze which covered the city yesterday. Shortly after his arrival in Redding Smith sent tho following wire to the News: "Arrived here this evening from Sacramento, our flying time being one hour and thirty minutes for a dist:.uce of nearly 200 miles. M pilot says we have been loafing but when we pass the mountains at Rid dle he will open her up. I'll say we are going some. Wo will leave here about 5 a. m. Sunday and "will make our first landing at Eugene for gas and oil. We expect our flying time to be about four hours. Seventy minutes after leaving Eur.' one we ex pect to arrive at the municipal golf links In Portland, bo we should ar rive in Seattle before noon. The pilot, says we will cross the Sislciyou mountains at an elevation of ten thousand feet. Un account of making a no stop flight, I have senp the Thoasury Savings Certificates through by ex pross to Portland, with tho excep tion of fifty thousand dollars worth which I am carrying with me to put on the mail boat for Alaska. Those certificates are in hundred and thousand dollar denominations hav ing a cash value in July of $38.40. They mature at a hundred dollar value on January 1, 1924. The cer tificates will be distributed to Ore gon banks as soon as they arrive from here by express. 1 hope Ore gon subscribes her quota as speedi ly as I am gutting delivery.' PASS 0 i::t FOKKST FH.F.K, Botween Grants Pass and Rose burg, Mr. Smith and Lieutenant Neubig stated that they passed over largo areas of forests being destroy ed by (ire. Even at the height oi 14,000 feet they could feel the heat and could see tho swirling smoke with flames leaping through. "It was a groat spectacle", wero the words uned by tho lieutenant who piloted the machine over- .the dan gerous zone. Upon arrival at Port land, wilhout even stopping to re move his goeglcs, Mr. Smith leaped from the airplane and into a fast automobile and disregarding speed laws (tor ac'V'Ss the city to the river whore a fast motorboat was w.iinUng for him to take him to Ka lama, where he boarded a special train which took him into Seattle in time to make the delivery of cer tificates.
