WHEN AITO FIRST WAS

"Among the first to use the auto
mobile for advertising purposes was
a famous soap manufacturer, who
was closely followed by the markers
of a thermos bottle. The car used
by the latter had a body built In
the shape of the product, and at
tracted much attention. France was
a leader In the advertising use of
the motor car In 1900," says F. E.
Welch, manager of San Francisco
factory branch of Durant Motor
Company of California, Durant and
Flint distributors. "Recently a
group of advertising men in a met
ropolitan city proposed a use of
taxicabs for advertising, placards
were to be placed within the circle

weekly. The plan as yet has not
materialized."

PORTLAND, April 30. H. J. Ov
erturf. state representative and
formerly one of three Deschutes
county appraisers for the state sol
dier bonus commission on trial In
federal court here with three llend
real estate men, Charles Haines
Jumes Ryan and Charles Carroll,
charged with using the mails to de
fraud the bonus commission, occu
pied the witness stand today in his
own defense, entered general denial
of charges against htm. He de
clared be had never received a cent
to influence him in making apprais
als. He stated that he had received
$50 at 'one time and $80.05 at
another time from Ryan, but declar
ed that these payments were on
loans before he became appraiser
for the bonus commission and had
nothing to do with fixing values.
He declared he never attempted
to influence any other member of
the appraisal board to have them ar
rive at figures suitable to him.
Overturg declared feelingly that
he never made a request from any
ex-soldier other than the $5, allowed
by the law.
"I never asked them for anything,
else and the boys who knew me best
didn't have to pay me the $5 fee,"
the witness said.
He went over all the apprnlsnients'
In question in detail, giving the
figures he used to make his report.
In each case, Overturf said if he had
the matter to go over again he
would make the same appraisments,
in one or two cases, larger.
The witness occupied the stand
one hour and 35 minutes under di
rect examination this morning,
having been on the stand half an
hour Tuesday afternoon.
It was expected that the cross
examination and the re-direct testi
mony will take up much of the af
ternoon. o

MYRTLE CREEK HAS FIRE.
A number of Roseburg residents
were attracted last night by the glare
I of fire seen in the sky in the south.
The glare came from Myrtle CreeK
where the old abandoned Johnson Mill
near the edgo of town burned last
night. This mill was the property
of a company now defunct, and has
been idle for years. The sheds were
dilapidated and run down, and the
property had little value. It caught
fire last night from some unknown
source and made an exceedingly hot
and bright fire. The flames were kept
confined to the old mill and no other
property was destroyed. Some of the
ld sawdust piles are still burning.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29 (A.
P.) San Francisco, growing rapidly
and somewhat crowded on Its bottle
neck of a penninsula will move tbe
bodies of 50000 of It. dead from four
cemeteries to make more room for
living. j
The board of supervisors has just I
passed an ordlnsnce for the removal i
of all the bodies from two cemeteries '
and It is said to be a foregone con
clusion that the other two ceme-!
lories also will be abandoned.
Once the cemeteries were far re-1
moved from San Francisco s business
and residential quarters. Now they
are In the heart of some of the city's
finest residential districts and their
areas are badly needed. The rain-1
palgn for their removal bitterly
fought, lasted five years and Included '
a state legislative act declared uncon
a'itutional by the supreme court.
Propoi'ents of cemetery removal
built their campaign on the Idea that
"the dead have rights, but the living,
have superior rlRhts." Opponents con
tended that the removal was fostered
by "land grabbers In collusion with
certain cemetery officials, booting the i
dead from their resting places to1
make profit, for the living." They al
so declared "these dead are historic"
and maintained that removal would
bring a pestilence. proponent re
sponded that the old. unattended'
cemeteries were "eyesore, and not fit ,
place, for historic dead' an,j denied
any danger from removal operation.
The total land to be reclaimed
amounts to about 70 city blocks, or,
214 acre. The territory will be sub-!
divided Into lots. The cemeteries
