The boys re turned from their trip this morning after playing at both Cottage Grove and Eugene, and were Immediately given an ovation at the high school.

In their remarks concerning last night's game thoy said the Cottage Grove boys wero excepiionul sportsmen, and although they were defeated, took every means to make the visit of the locals enjoyable. Several of tho Coltage Grove loam weighed around 200 pounds, but not once, according to the locals, did tho game become rough. The locals j won because of better team work and their greater accuracy In basket shooting, The work of Bemis, who held one of the fast forwards with out a score, is said to have contrib uted largely to their success. Os born also starred, securing a total of eight baskets In the game. Jewett. secured fivo baskels and Wil lett four, while Jewett also scored three out of the five fouls thrown. Having defeated Eugene High S hool 'he previous evening, and the Northwestern Normal school hereon Tuesday, the locals are without a single defeat, and have probably tho best chance to ngain win the cham pionship of Southern Oregon.

Although a siunip was tclt in the market two or three weeks ago, during the holi days, say local merchants, since then the price lias risen again to above normal prices. A rise of 25 cents has been seen in the past week, said ojk; merchant today. The prevailing price for good po taloes is about $1.75 a hundred pounds, while moro fancy prices are being paid for large quantities of the product of extra fino quality. Local merchants say the car shortage has been relieved to some extent, and the shipping of their supplies is not difficult. Some potatoes are being shipped Into Itoseburg from Califor nia, whilo other potatoes are being received from Willamette Valley points. In the event tho market continues to rise during the next few weeks In proportion to previous in creases, the people of Itoseburg will soon be paying higher prices for po tatoes than ever before.

C. Seely, who is now in Portland. Dr. Seely was elected president of tho Commercial Club at the annual meeting held last Tuesday night, but it Is not known whether he will qualify. If he refuses to accept the office, and there Is a probability that he will, another presidont will have to be chosen. In case Dr. Seely accepts the honor, he and .Mr. Par rott will probably discuss the future of the club thoroughly before any further action is taken. ! While ii is generally agreed that; tho publicity work Bhould bo con-j tinued, there is a division of opin-j ion as to whether the secretary I should.be employed as under the. present conditions, or spend only a ; part of his time in the club work. ! In the event the latter course Is; finally adopted by the chrb a secre tary can probably be secured for a salary not to exceed $.r.0 a month.

MANY GIVE HIM COMMENDATION Legislators ' Regard Mr. Smith as Their Best Friend and Have Been F.ttiiratcd to 'Ent Out of His Hand.' In tho last issue of the Oregon Voter, published in Portland, there appeared tho following excellent ar ticle regarding Robert E. Smith, of Roseburg, who is now at Salem lob bying for a reduction of election x p crises: Princo of all lobbyists Is Robert E. Smith, of Roseburg, in many ways the smartest man in the state of Oregon. Smith represents big tim ber owners, who found it necessary to protect themselves from ruin by taxation, and found In Robert E. the man who knew how to get results. Smith is one of (lie few who dares invade the sacred territory within the bar of either house, loll In lux urious ease In the sumptuous chair of a senator or representative, ami do timely whispering. It would be a slander to nickname him "Whisp ering Smith," for his unctuous tones are so Insinuatingly light that a whisper seems hoarse in comparison. Smith's success in timber lobbying has not been confined to legislative halls. Ho has conducted several campaigns for and against constitu tional legislation that was before the people, and he won every campaign. Also he threw monkey-whenehes into the machinery of tho land grant con ference and tho irrigation-rural credits conference, withdrawing the Impediments only when he arranged tho aforesaid machinery to run to suit his able self, which he did In both instances and right iimoothly, loo. Members as a rule hate to be seen with lobbyists but none Is ashamed to be seen with Smith. In fact. It is quite an honor, for Smith has an nexed the Orange and all its power ful political Influence as an Instru ment of his campaigns. The Orange leaders have been educated by him to eat out of his hand. They regard hi in as their especial champion and guide, and he has earned their re gard by humoring the whims of the Orange leaders and giving superb aid to such Orange campaigns as did not conflict in any way with the Inter ests of the timbermen he represent ed. PRESENT ELECTION LAW IS NOT SATISFACTORY, ACCORDING TO LETTER Further changes In 'the election' law of the state are proposed iiy the1 Legislature now in session, but ii 1 Is probable that no change will he made In regard to registration and that those who have registered al ready will not be compelled to do so again, according to a let fer i e eived this mornin:: from Salein. A plan to save $.".,miu at each election, both primary and geiiej a I.. Is being incubated and will prob ably soon bo pres nted to the llonst in the form of a bill. It provides for tho nbolh-hment of the office of one clout ion judite in each precinct, that, no deputy sher iff be assigned to each precinct, but that the work of the deputy be done by the chairman of the board, who -dial I be designated as a deputy sheriff without pay during the time of his service. It is estimated that this change In the existing law would save some $ltt,0hu in the cost of operating "'e 1-'"J election pre cincts of the state. It is also planned lhat the ballot boxes shall be sent to the polling places by parcel post and that nfler t lie elect ion the ta iiy sheet s s 1 1 a 1 1 be mailed to the count y clerks hv registered mall.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO ATTEND MEETING AT SALEM ON WEDNESDAY District Attorney (ieorge Neuner will leavo for Salem next week, where ho will attend a meeting of the committee appointed recently to draft a bill providing for tlip future construetion of roads in Oregon. Tho committee met in Portland at the time tho Commonwealth Con ference was held (hero, hut the work of drafting the proposed legis lation was deferred until next week. The delay was occasioned, ao'nrding to tho district attorney, in order thnt the members of tho committee could investigate the wants of tho several good roads organizations of the state, and thereby inject into tho law tho veiry best material avail able. The present road laws arc considered very inudequuto by tile otlicors in charge of the highway construction, and they are a unit in supporting moro modern and up-to-date legislation. In tho event the bill Is prepared at the coming meet ing of the committee, It will he In troduced in the llous0 not later than next Saturday. .Minor amendments may bo offered, but In tho main, the! bill will probably be adopted as sub mitted to the Legislature.

SECOND BLAZE AT BOYLE HOME Mrs. Friend Was I turned on Face and Hands, While Damage at Second Fire Was Small Better Directions. Fire that caught in her apron as she was tending tho kitchen stove while In the net of getting break fast this morning, set ablaze tho dress or Mrs. C. A. Friend, 414 Mill street, and exploded a gasoline can which, fortunately for the dwelling and the lives of Its occupants, was practically empty. In an instant the blaze had leaped from the dress to a line of lollies which were drying above the sieve, and tho wall paper and wood work wero soon a mass of flames. In -her effort to n,'ie-"ch tho fire in her apron, Mrs. Friend open ed the door to the porch and the esultaut draft swept tho flames up ward, igniting all the lnflamable ontents of tho room. She was1 jurned considerably about the face ind hands, but It is not belioved the injuries will prove serious. Mrs. Friend said she had a hot fire and It h her belief that when die went to lift tho lid from the dove her apron must have caught In her hand and dropped before the I'lamen. Her screams immediately brought Mr, Friend, who is a local teamster, to the rear of the house and with a small garden hose ho quickly had tho fire subdued. An ilarm had been turned In but owing to a mistake In understanding the ward number, tho department re minded to a wrong part of tho city mil did not arrive nt Hie scene for everal minutes and after all dan er had been eliminated. Members of the department stated titer the hlne that as the accurate number of the fire ward or street ;iven by tho informant was the most mportant fact in reaching the scene of a fire at tho proper time, all are should bo taken to give the in formation distinctly mid, clearly. Fhn Chief James Fietcher, Jr., said f the person reporting an alarm would give tho number In the man ier of giving a telephone number to central - as "ward four one two." unload of "four I welve" there will hi little difficulty In understanding tho dire-tion accuratelv. He also dated thaf t he name of t he street n which a fire is located should be (iven, with the designation as to whether it is the north or south r east or west portion of the street. I'he location of Hi,, fire this morn ing was in Ward 112, and as it was given over the telephone as 'four i welve," the firemen misunderstood it as Ward 2, mid first icopondod thereto. Sivond A larm (ilven. Scarcely had tho department com pleted Its call at the Friend home, where it was found unnecessary t) use any 'of the equipment, than a "all w;m received of a second flro t the home of W. W.

No dnmiigj except to tho paper on the walls was dene by the second blaze and a fe.v buckets of water sufficed to a'lay the flumes1. An Important, fact in connection with tho two blazes today was pre sented from the situation that would have resulted had he first fire nec essitated the utilization of tho equipment as might have been ex pected. It would have hern neces sary for the truck to return to the fire hall fnr on additional supply of hoso, which would havo consumed "onsiderablo time. This is tho flrs-t instance known where two widely -cpa rated fires ha demanded the ervfei.H of the fire truck at nearly the name time since tho vear PH2, when tho II inks A Welker llverv table and the Mrs. Lucinda Moore residence burned at the same time.
