VALUABLE CAR EXPLOD
ED AT GLENGARRY LAST
EVENING; A TOTAL LOSS
Back-fining as it was being
cranked preparatory to starting out
from Ulengarry to this city Kriday
evening, the big Michigan touring
car owned by Thomas Fletcher, sud
denly exploded and was rendered
practically a total loss before those
present had extinguished the flames.
The car was vauled at about $800
and was insured for J400.
Jlr. Fletcher and LaVerne Hoff
man, had been spending the day on
the ranch of E. L. Giles, where he
had been harvesting the corn crop.
After the day's work, the two young
men went to the barn where the car
had been housed and Mr. Fletcher
spun the crank in order to start the
engine. There was some difficulty
in starting at first and then a back
fire occurred which enveloped the
whole front of the machine in flames.
Although the fire started and
almost completely extinguished In
side the barn and within a few feet
of the walls on either side, the build
ing did not catch fire. This was
prevented, however, by a man carry
ing water, which was obtained at a
considerable distance. Later the car
was removed from the barn and the
flames put out with sacks anil dirt.
LOCAL KNIGHTS OF PYTH
IAS WILL ISSUE PAPER;
MONTHLY LODGE NEWS
With their first issue to be pub
lished about the middle or Novem
ber, Alpha lodge of the Knights of
Pythias will commence the publica
tion of an olficial paper for the local
lodge, which is to make its appear
ance each month thereafter. It will
be the only paper issued by a K. of
P. lodge in Oregon, excepting that
of the lodge at Astorlu.
The decision to gel out a paper
here Is understood to be the result
of a consideration of several months,
but definite action was taken only
recently with the election of Attor
ney C. P. Hopkins aB the editor-in-
chief. Mr. Hopkins is enthusiastic
over tho undertaking, as well as all
the rest o fthe members, and prep
arations will soon tie made for the
initial copy.
The lodge has also decided to pre
sent a veteran Jewel to each or the
members who has been a member of
the order for 25 years. About 15
emblems are to be ordered and the
presentation will take place In one
of the meetings next month. It Is
planned to have the new paper ap
pear for the first time in connection
with this meeting. The paper has
not yet been named, but one will
be chosen from the four or five that
have been submitted. These are
The Pythian Shield, the Pythian Tri
angle, The Friendship Herald, and

SLIGHT SHOWER YESTER
DAY, INTERRUPTS LONG
DRY SPELL; NO SIGNS
Rain which fell Friday reached a
depth of rour-hundredtbs of an Inch.
it was Hie first precipitation to be
detected by the delicate Instruments
of tile local weather bureau office
since the first or October. But tor
the slight dampness or that day, the
record for the longest dryness at
tills season would probably have
been ataained.
As shown by the reports or
Weather Observer William Dell, let
bis oflice on South Jackson street,
ten-hundredths of an Inch of rain
fell October 1, and four- hundredths
October 27, wlille no other registra
tion of any moisture is noted since
September fl. With only rourteon-
hundredths or an Inch in the 4X
days, it is believed this is a record
for tills season having tew equals.
1 he present Indications are that the
rain Friday was only a shower
caused by the sudden shifting of the
high pressure area, and was not due
to the beginning ot the long looked-
for wet weather. There are now no
signs ot further rain for several days.

and Interesting address delivered be
fore :Hmi people In the Antler's The

"The Federal Reserve Act. the ru
ral credlls bill, child labor law. the
shlpiwng bill and the Adaiuson eight
hour law nre only a few of the re
markable achievements of the Wilson
administration," s-aid Mr. Weather
ford. "These laws were passed for
the good of the people and not lie
cause they were requested by the big
Interests of tho Nation. When Chns.
F. Hughes said these laws should be
repealed be injected a bitter issue In
to tho campaign. The people of the
United States have been trying to
obtain constructive legislation for
many years, and I do not believe Ihcy
will sit In idleness and witness the
destruction of measures which have
for their ultimate purpose tile bene
fitting of mankind. It Is not true
that a vote for Woodrow Wilson' and
a Democratic Congress is a vote to
sustain tliese measures? All of theHe
laws have their merits, and if 1 am
elected a member of Congress 1 will
use my best efforts to have them re

HANDICAP IN CRUISING
Barring the very heaviest rains,
which would prove a serious handi-
cap. practically all the Government
experts now employed In connection
with the o. & c. land grant eiuBsin
cation believe they will be able to
complete the Douglas County portion
of the work before winter. Should
they finish, however, they will con
sider themselves lucky, there being
about live weeks more of steady em
ployment, and when operations are
resumed next year, they will take up
one of the counties to the north.
It was with a view of working In
some of the earlier and lighter rains
that the first camps made In this
county wore established in the out
side districts which are tho hardest
to cover. Their operations are con
stantly approaching this cily, and in
a few weeks it Is believed the work
will bo confined to a district where
it will not be so difficult to proceed
even though the weather becomes
quite damp. Not being able to
finish until about December 1, they
are prepared for some rain, though
ready to abandon their Job when the
season changes in earnest. 1 here
are i:i(l men employed, they being
