Patrick homo, azo norm Winchester street. Fire was dlscov ered burning in the attic among rub bisb accumulated there and an alarm was iiromiitlv sent in. IJi'fore the fire truck could reach the scene the flames had gained considerable headway, but as the fire was practi cully all inside the building it was soon extinguished -by chemical. The attic was filled with papers, several mattresses and other combustible ar ticles, which were Ignited by an overheated stovepipe. "This same condition Is true in many other homes In Roseburg, said James Fletcher, fire truck driver, in speaking of yesterday evening's conflagration. "People pile rubbish Into attics without any semblance of order; dump In paper, old clothing, broken furniture, paste board boxes, and hundred of other things, which become covered with dust and need only a spark to set them afire. Then a flue burning out overheats the pipe, or an oily rag starts spontaneous combustion, or possibly the electric. wiring becomes defective and a fire starts. It burns several minutes before it is discov ered and then in spite of the very best speed possible for the fire de partment to attain, the whole upper portion of the house Is In flames be- for the truck can reach the scene. "Not only Is this true or attics, but It is also the case in basements Everything imaginable can be found in the basements of the homes In this city. Many basements are veritable fire traps and if a fire should start it would be next to Impossible for even a completely equipped tire de partment to stop the flumes, t "Residents should be extrenioly careful about allowing rubblxh to ac cumulate. It Is an easy matter to dump some old trash into the base ment expecting to clean out in the immediate future, or It is also easy to pick up something which you think might be needed In the future and dump it into a corner In the at tic. "Such practices, however, are dan gerous and by fur the greater per centage of fires are directly attribu table to careletis on the part of some person or persons. Inflamable ar ticles should be carefully placed in some portion of the building where they ure least exposed and where there Is little opportunity for them to become ignited. No rubbish should be allowed'to accumulate in any por tion of the building and attics and basements should be cleaned regu larly In order to prevent any fire hnzards which might otherwise arise. 'It is much better to put in a few moments cleaning up to prevent a Are than to clean up and repair damage cau.ned by a conflagration. A Are is expensive even If the home Is saved, for considerable damage Is always done by water or chemical or by necessary removal of shingles or plaster. This is not preventable ex cept by careful and frequent Inspec tion of a home In order that all risks may be removed." The Are department was called out again this morning by a chimney fire at tne tiome of Mrs. A. C. McRey nolds at the corner of Jackson and Lane streets. The roof was smoking when the firemen arrived, but no dnmnge wns done except the removal of a few shingles. - o If you want to be relieved from punctures and blowouts, have Uni versal Killer installed In your tires.

' dred Years. Bow the dollar Invested works for the Individual himself has been best Illustrated by that first great Ameri can teacher of thrift, Benjamin Franklin, fn 1701, he bequeathed 1,000 ($5,000) to the common wealth ef Massachusetts and to the dry of Boston as a mark of his appre ciation for having appointed him as agent In England at the "bandsome" salary of 2.000 ($10,000) and to make his bequest really valuable with bis great foresight. Franklin provided In his will that this 1,000 should be put out at 5 per cent Interest for one hundred years; that at the end of that time 31-181 of the fund accumu lated sheuld again be put out at In terest for another hundred years and then the fund be divided one-fourth to Boston and three-fourths to the state. Let us show bow well that 1,000 of Franklin's has worked. At the end of the first hundred years it bad grown to $431,383.62. It was then di vided In accordance with the will; $329,300.48 was set aside for "public work" and $102,083.14 was started on Its course of earning Interest for an other hundred years. That was In 1801. January 1, 1013. this sum had grown to $207,805.15 and at this rate of Increase tbe fund should amount to at least six million dollars when the second period Is completed, and may be considerable more.

W.YOUNG AND SON Real Estate and bumac, tie) Case St. Phone) 41T Anthony Found Be Not Guilty . The Jury in the case of theh slate of Oregon against Milton 8. Anlhony returned a verdict of not guilty, af ter only a few moments of delibera tion this morning. Anthony was ac cused of having stolon and destroyed a boat belonging to Joseph Lyons, of Reedsport, but proved his Innocence conclusively. He was represented by Attorneys Rice ft Orcutt, while the state's case was bandied by District Attorney George Neuner. The Jury was instructed by Judge Hamilton and retired at about 11 o'clock this morning, returning with Its verdict at noon. A large number of Reedsport residents were called as witnesses and spent yesterday and today in the city. Upon the retirement of the Jury In the Anthony case the court took up the case of the state of Ore gon against Arthur Heavlngham, charged with the crime of rape upon 16-year-old Grace Stevens, of Wash ington. The girl is present and will testify against Heavlngham, who has retained Attorneys Wlmberly and Cordon for his defense. He is charged with having persuaded the girl to leave tiie train here to spend the day with him. She was traveling under the protection of a travelers' aid society and upon her failure to arrive at her destination on time an Investigation was started which re sulted in Heavlngham's arrest. He was at that time serving as a South ern Pacific hrakeman and was dis missed from serevice prior to his arrest. School Survey Will Be Made M. S. Hamm, superintendent of the local Bchools has arranged with the bureau -of Educational Research at the University of Oregon to have a survey made of the Roseburg schools.-A graduate of the University will be sent here the first two weeks in December for that purpose, all of his expenses being paid by the ex tension divinslon of the University. The sucvey will be made of the en tire school system, buildings, equip ment, grounds, teachers, and the standard of work being done. The object of the survey la to bring out all conditions existing in the schools, both good and bad, and it is the general opinion that an outsider, totally unacquainted with the ex isting circumstances is the best per son to do this. The worker at the end of two week will prepare a chart which will Bhow exactly how the school stands, bringing out all de fects. Supt. Hamm, with the co-operation of the town and the teach ing staff, expects to then take the necessary steps to remedy these de fects in the school system. These surveys have been made in many of the schools, and have always been a method of great help In working out a practical basis by which theschool may be improved. The standard test, a few of which were given in the Roseburg schools last year are also a part or the work although they are not a part of the private survey but are general throughout the schools. These tests will be given In detail this year In all the grades and In the hlch school In all subjects, and will Include both the intelligence tests and the school achievement tests. o Attorney O. P.
