Borne ot the applemen believe that
they will be able to save a portion of
i heir crop. Captain Hackett was in
the city this morning employing men
to work In his orchards. He states
that approximately 2,000 bushels of
apples are on the ground, and he has
taken out a crew of ten nn ;o pick
up these apples and box them. He
thinks that owing to the softness or
the orchard ground, he would be
able to save the greater portion of
the fruit.
Loyal Emery In charge of the
Suthorlln valley section reported to
In this city that over 10.000 bushels
of apples had been blown to the
ground. This will ruin about 30 per
cent of the crop.
On the basis ot 200 cars of apples
which is slightly less than the num
ber shipped out last year, and fig
uring the cost at $2.60 per box, the
loss to Douglas county as a result
of the storm which lasted less than
three hours, win be between to,
000 and $65,000'.
Later figures may give a more ac
curate check on the amount of the
damage done by the wind, but It is
believed that the percentage off dam
age will not drop below 25 percent.

Traveling Salesman
Taken For Joy Ride
3. D. Welch, a Seattle traveling
salesman, accompanied by his wife
arrived in this city last evening from
Medford. They drove up in front of
the Umpqua hotel In heir nifty lit
tle Ford sedan and, after making ar
rangements to remain for the night,
Mr. Welch directed his car on down
the street toward the Service Garage
and when in front of the Liberty the

that sounded like the blow-off to an
old-fashioned phonograph, hopped on
the running board of his car. flashed
i glaring emblem of police author

' Step on her! Step on her! Step on
her!"
The traveling salesman thinking
he had been taken in cbarge by a
maniac, loosened up the throttle to
his Henry Ford and away they sailed
down the incline for North Hose-burg.
"Burn er jp! Hun: er up! I
want to catch that Dodge car just
ahead of us' exclaimed the excited
coup.
Then the traveling salesman saw
visions of his sedan car making 40
miles per, the glass windows rattling
like the results of a Los Angeles
earthquake but the most embar
rassing part of the whole deal was
the fact that the cop wanted the lit
tle Ford to run down the big Dodge

strong on negotiating the Impossible,
but with everything wide open

somewhat of a go-get-'er himself,
swooped In ahead of the fleeing car
and checked its pace.
The speed cop made a lightning

fussed up over his experience, ran

FINANCE PLAN FOR
ROAD BUILDING
County Court Will Submit Im
portant Question to Voters
In November.
WILL CANCEL BONDS
lu Place of Acct'ptiiiK Heavy Dis
count and Paying High lUite of
Interest Court Plans to
lncreu.se the Tax Levy.
At Its meeting held yesterday the
county court made an order submit
ting to the voters of Douglas county
at the general election to be held on
November 2 the question of levying
a three mill tax for the year 12U
and a three mill tax for the year
1921 to provide funds to complete
tht; unfinished road projects. It Is
the plan that In the event the said
levy is approved by the people at the
election the court will, as soon as the
levy is made, cancel an equal amount
of the unsold road bonds voted on
June 4, 1917, and the money derived
from the levy will be used on the
same roads as were designated by
vote of the people and allotted to
each road.
This action Is made advisable, it is
held, by the present condition of the
bond market and the great discount
required on all bonds sold. There are
now three issues of road bonds un
issued amounting to $166,500. It is
provided that when there are issued
they shall be sold in three equal in
stallments and shall mature i2, 1:1,
and 14 years after date. It is .;on-
sldered good business by the county
court to have this money available ai
once and complete these roads and
at the same time save a great deal
In Interest and discount.
It Is computed that the Interest on
these bonds. If issued and allowed to
run to maturity, will aggregate some
thing llko $75,000, or marly one
halt the amount of the proceeds of
the unsold bonds. The plan has been
discussed with bankers and financial
exports, who have given it unquali
fied approval. By this method, which
was submitted to the court by Dis
trict Attorney Neuner, the county, It
is hold, will have almost half the
amount of the bonds issued while the
cost to the taxpayers will not be
greater In the long run. The money
will lie made available as rapidly as
it is needed, there will be no dis
count and no interest to pay and at
the same time there will be more
money than under the former plan.
This question Is one which has
been puzzling practically all county
courts and in the event of its ap
proval the road problem in Douglas
county will doubtless be solved.
Attorney Neuuer submitted the
matter to the taxpayers at the meet
ing of the Douglus County Taxpayers'
league this afternoon, and will give
all voters an opportunity to study the
matter before election. Further de
tails are given In the order adopted
by the county court, as follows:
Whereas, at an election held by
the people of Douglas county, Ore
gon, on the 4th day of June, 1917.
there was voted $556,000 bonds for
the purpose of improving and provid
ing for permanent road construction;
aud
Whereas, pursuant to said election
the county court of Douglas couuty,
Oregon, did issue and Bell series 1 to
7. Inclusive, and that there remains
at the present time unissued and un
sold series 8, 9, and 10, maturing 12,
13 and 14 years from the dato nero
of; and
Whereas, said series 8. 9, and 10
have been advertised and offered for
sale, and this court has been unable
to sell them at par and there now
remains unissued and unsold $166,
500: and
Whereas, of the bonds heretofore
sold $50,000 was invested In Liberty
bonds, which Liberty bonds are now
in the treasury and cannot be sold
without a discount and loss to the
taxpayers of Douglas county; and
Whereas, the name of the projects
the amount alloted by vote of the !
people nf Douglas county on Juno ;
4th, 1917, and the amount expended j
from bonds neretorore sold, togemr
with the balance due the respeciive

NEW YORK. Sept. 18. Receipt by
department of Justice agents last
night or five radical circulars, signed
"American Anarchist Fighters,"
which were found in a mail box at
Cedar street and Broadway at 11:58
a. m. Thursday, furnished tho first
tangible clew they said to the iden
tity of the persons who were respon
sible for the explosion in Wall street
which three minutes luter killed 35
persons, injured 200 others and
caused property damage running
Into millions.
In making public the circulars,
which were printed on cheap paper,
7x11 Inches, Chief William J. Flynn
of the bureau of investigation, de
partment of Justice, called attention!
to the fact that the bombs sent lu the
nation-wide plot on June 2, 1919,
were wrapped In circulars announc
ing the coming of the revolution and
signed "Anarchist Fighters."
Chief Flynn declared the circulars
were not in the letter box when the
carrier made his round at 11:30 a.
m., but that he found them thero on
his next round at 11:58 o'clock.
"In my opinion," Chief Flynn de
clared, "this is not an attack on J.

those responsible picked out the
financial center in order to create a
demonstration."

thoroughly Americanizing those of
foreign extraction. This must now
bo taken up with new determination.

never become divided Into classes
