He has a natural voice and makes a hit with his tongs and ballads. "I've sung about everywhere,' lie said today. "In dance halls, at prize fights, at rodeos every where. Last year when the spec ial train carrying Oregon shrin ers to the convention at Wash lngioKl. C, passed through Montai.a. I was Blnging In a small town called Carrison. 1 sang at the station platform and Mayor Maker, of l'ortland, asked me to come aboard and sing for the Shrlners.

I was never treated better in my life, and will nl ways remember that trip, have a fine letter from Mayor liaker."

Smigley, who was sent to the border to Investigate the recent Holshevlk raid on the town ol Siolpce, reports that the attack ing force consisted of four groupe of 25 men each, one ol which es caped to Russia while three are still In Polish territory. His investigation is said tc have revealed that one of tht raiding units remained for sever al months in the regular army inrracks at Minsk, near the Po lish border, where they received raining under Holshevlk offic ers. Simultaneously with the attack on Stolpce. the Warsaw polioe un covered a spy organization which it Is alleged six members of the Soviet legation here personally directed for military purposes. This organization the Polish au thorities declare, was helped by several Russian emmigrants, of whom some were officers in the former Czarlst army and also employed Polish communist ag ents. Following the seizure of the band's documents the gov ernment deported all the Soviet diplomats Involved and arrested other members of the organiza tion. : 0 Within 3 hours you can uow fliv ver to Bandon by the Sea.

Harvest and threshing are well advanced except in the most elevated dis tricts and in many places yields of winter wheat are better than expected, says Edward Li. Wells, local meteorologist, in his weekly summary of crop conditions in Oregon. Irrigated corn is doing well, but unlrrigated corn is suf fering from drought. Early apples, peaches and plums are In the market in many localities. Picking of Ilartlett pears is under way In southern counties where the yield is good in orchards that were heated. Strawberries and raspberries are plentiful in some elevated dis tricts. Cutting of wild hay is complete in many places with yields most ly light. The third crop of alf alfa is nearing maturity in south ern counties. Damage by weevil is less than usual. There is still complaint of cows failing in milk. Range stock is holding out fairly well in most places, but is facing a shortage of feed in the near future. Hops are showing the effect of the drought: some early hops are being picked. Klax pulling is nearing completion. Tomatoes are ripening In in creasing quantities, and melons are becoming more plentiful in the market. Early potatoes are mostly ripe and are undersized. Irrigated potatoes are doing well. Eat llazelwood at Wimberly's. o TAKES DEATH TOLL (Associated Press Leased "Wire.) TOKIO. Aug. 7. Two hundred persons are missing and many are believed dead as a result of floods along the Tamsui river in northern Kormosa, according to dispatches received by the Japan eso newspapers here. Railway traffic has been stop ped and the city of Taihogu is practically Isolated, these dis dispatches received by the Japan thousands of houses in Taihoka' have been inundated. Fewer Americans were killed in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the bloodiest engagement in which General Pershing's army participated, than were killed last year in the I'nited States by au tomobiles. The death toll of the twenty-live army divisions, which formed the American first army in "Hie largest battle in Amer ican history," was slightly more than 15,000 men. It Is safe to estimate the automobile fatalities in the United States for 1923 at IC.000. I'nited States soldiers killed in action at the battle of Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, the Wilderness, Antietani, Chancellorsville, Chick nmnugtia and Cold Harbor, com bined, the seven greatest battles of the civil war in point of losses to the L'nion forces, numbered several hundred fewer than the automobile deaths in the United States in the last twelve months. And the slaughter by automobiles continues at an accelerated pace. For example, the .Metropolitan Life Insurance company, basing its figures upon the mortality rec ords of its 15,00,000 industrial policy holders, states that the year 1923 showed an increase ot 13 per cent ' in tho automobile death rate over 1922 and that the monlli of January 1924, showed an increase of more than 17 per cent over the correspoding month of last year. The control of the rising death rate from this cause is one of the unsolved problems of police and aecident prevention work in American cities. There is small consolation In the fact that the number of automobiles has also increased, and that, in conse quence, there are ewer deaths per automobile in operation than there were five or ten years ago. The outstanding fact is that whether people are being killed by the first or the fifth or the tenth automobile, the number of deaths caused by motor ve ieles and the automobile accident death rate continue to grow year after year.
