The latest show to come to the Pa cific International is the fine North west Grain and Hay show, hitherto held In Pendleton. This Is going to be a 19"3 feature. The Industrial Exhibits department affords a show that for beauty and value would be hard to surpass. This great department Is tilled with fairy- like booths, showing costly furs ana other raiment, beautiful furniture. every convenience a housewife needs, machinery of every sort to save labor and Increase profits. Everything has Its demonstration for the public. The sense of fiiit and the sense of smell are both appealed to, for the flour and other food products companies are doing their best to show tba merits of their goods. Tbe Nlsht Horse show Is one of the four great horse shows In the United states. It is Brilliant, exciuns uu delightful. Horses are coming from the Eastern statns this year to show their paces In the arena and struggle tor tbe big prices offered. One kind of a show Isn't at the Pa- clflc International, and never will be the gambling concessions and other questionable amusements that rob children and sometimes grown people and leave nothing but a bad taste. Tha Exposition does not need that kind of shows. w YDUR PAWNERS IN PROGRESS If you need plant pots, see ours at The Fern. o MISSING SPRINGFIELD RESIDENT IS LOCATED I FT'RtfNE. Oct.

I Fire-Fighting Apparatus Here Not Sufficient to Cope with Conflagration of Any Magnitude Fire Chief James Fletcher spoke before the Rotary club today noon. Impressing the members with' the fact that the fire fighting equipment of Roseburg. for any conflagration out or the ordinary small blaxe. Is entirely Inadequate to the clty'a needs.- At this time the city Is de pending solely on one motor driven truck to protect the entire city. Mr. Fletcher Btated, and some day the people will wake up to the fact after a fire has swept the city, that better protection should have been afforded. To bring about- a stronger and more efficient department Mr. Fletcher stated the pople of Roseburg would have the opportunity of passing on a I15.OD0 bond Issue at an early date and it was bis hope that the Issue would be carried. It Is pro posed from the Issuance of this mon ey that a pump of 1000 gallons ca pacity be Installed for the use of the fire department, thus giving the city an unlimited supply of water at a blgh pressure. Tbe new apparatus will take Ita supply of water from the river and be of sufficient capac ity to deal with big fires, and with the present equipment now in use will give ample protection to the city. The full issue of bonds will not be spent for the pumplna equip ment, the estimated cost cf this part of the department la something like 113,600. Any amount over and above this sum will be expended for hose and other necessary equipment for the safetv of Uvea and property with in the city limits, or any fire that can be reached by the department. At the present time tbe cltv has no appliances for the rescue of peo ple from burning buildings and It is hoped out of the above sum that a life net can also Ix purchased. Mr. Fletcher's remarks on the . city's needs In the way ofi better fire fight ing equipment were well .received, the Rotary club being mindful of the fact that this department of the city's government should be kept up to the highest standiid. Committee Appointed President Seely appointed a com mittee consisting of Fred Chapman. Bid Fisher and Omar Baker, to take charge and plan all arrangements for the attendance of the local club at the annual Rotary convention to be held at Spokane early the coming year. These conventions are of much Interest to Rotarlans and President Seely Is anxious that every Rose burg Rotarian attend.. The commit tee appointed today will soon have the details' of the convention be fore the members. Inter-City Meeting On next Monday evening local Ro tarlans will motor to Boswell Springs where they will meet with the Ro tarlans from Eugene and enjoy their luncheon together. A splendid pro gram has been arranged and the full membership of local Rotarlans Is ex pected to attend. (up To lie Presented The beautiful fllver cun offered to the city schools for the beat kept school grounds. It was announced at today's luncheon by 01b Finlay, has been won by the high school, the Judgment of the committee having the matter of awarding the cup mak ing a renort to this effect. Gib was cliosen by the president to present tha cup to the high school on behalf of the Rotarly club, which he will do nt an farly date. Much Interest has been evident by the various schools throughout the city to claim the nip offered by the Rotary club and the gift hsB brought about many Improvements In the war of heautl- Vflcatlon of the school grounds throughout the city, resulting In a decided change in the high school grounds. It was also derided at today's luncheon to entertain Roseburg teachers some evening at luncheon during educational week, the exact day to be set later. This Is an oc casion locked forward to each year with much Interest by Rotarlana. who are anxious to co-operate In ev ery way posflMe with the tearhors and school authorities of the city to bring the schools up to the highest standard of efficiency.

Officers do not seem to be of the same frame of mind, although they have a wholesome respect for the al leged outiaw. Their difficulty Is not n i fleeting Brooms capture when they seo him, but In seeing him. The old fox of tbe McKenzte knows the mountalna like a book, and so far has successfully evaded capture. Hyncu, say those who comment on bis Invita tion to "come and get tue," he is not as generous as would appear at first glance. It was thought tor a time he had fled the country. UiP u LONGVIEW, Wash., Oct. 18. The launch Eaden. a 55-foot craft in low irg and passenger service from the Washington Dock to the lower Col umbia river activities of the I.onr Bell company, was completely de stroyed by fire last night as a result of an explosion aboard the craft. The accident happened below the Green wood Landing near Coffin Rock at about 11:45. Captain Nutting, the only man aboard bnrelv escaped wit hhl life Ho was slightly burned. Nutting's clothes cauvht fire and threatened to consume him. He was forced to Jump into the river to extinguish them. As soon as this was accomplished the captain's thoughts were for bin craft. He cli-nbed aboard the blazing boat and with an axe attempted to cut a hole In her hull to-slnk her before the blaze had got In it's damage, but a high wind was blowing which blew the craft onto the beach before ne could affect his purpose and the Fad en burned to a crisp.
