HOT Til Elcl
AT COUNCIL TONIGHT
It is a toss up between the Chau
tauqua and the city council meetlne
th-is evening for the warmest place
(n town. 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

MANY FOREST FIRES
'Hurry Pargeter, of the Douglas
Fire Patrol, states that there are
a number of smnll fires in the county
but none of them of great propor
tions. A fire on the Josephine
Douglas Hne is threatening to cross
over Into Douglas county but it is
hoped to have It under control soon.
Many have waited for dry weather
in which to burn slashings and this
iB responsible for the greater part
of the smoke now covarlng the
county.
E ESTABLI
Temporary army recruiting offices
were established at the Uinpqua ho-
ttl tills morning upon the arrival Ir

ACTION ON FIRE
With the mayor and city council
at loggerheads with the fire depart
ment a strike of the ftre laddies
appears imminent. The city council
will take action tonight, while at
the same time a meetings of the
board of fire commissiors wRh the
firemen has been called to attend to
the department's side of the case.
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.

RACE AGAINST TIME
WAS SUCCESSFUL
Treasury Savings Certificates
Delivered to Mail Steamer
By Airplane.
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.'

Neubig stated that they passed over
largo areas of forests being destroy

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

he ripped the League of Nations into

Lau, a good long time tonight to
make repairs. Or. Clare, was not
an onlooker during tho war, he was
a pastor at Petrogiad, where things
happened. Ho saw tue hoisting ot
the red flag of the revolutionists,
experienced the nights of terror,
witnessed the down, all of Kerensk)
and the murder of the leader's tot

completely tilled the tent, he talkou
tor many minutes and in spite oi
the heat ami discomfort all Ihiul
breathlessly upon his words whilt
he told of thoso momentous event
which have played and are to play
so important a place in history. The
League of Nations, he says, Is tuo
idealistic to be put iut'j effect, if
human beings were perfect then the
pact might be practical, but as loin
as human nature is selfish, the 'plat.
