Outcome Bout
Defies Solution
By Henry L. Farrell
(United Tress Editor.)
NEW YOUK, Sept. 9 (United
Press.) No heavyweight contest
in years has caused the division of
opinion among the experts that Is
found In the advance predictions
on the outcome of the Luis Flrpo
Harry Wills contest to be held
Thursday night in Tex Illckard's
Jersey City arena.
When Jack Dempsey was pre
paring for his fight in Toledo
against Jess Willard there were
only a few brave hearts who were
willing to argue against the the
ory that Willard had too much
size for the Bmaller and younger
challenger,
Dempsey's punching power was
recognized and admitted by all.
His fighting heart and his savage
style of attack had been proved,
but he was looked upon as being
too small.
Difference in size and weight
were also factors that had to be
figured by the experts when they
were forming an opinion before
the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
Punching power and boxing skill
were also of the most vital impor
tance. Dempsey was picked almost un
animously as the winner because
he was bigger ami heavier, be-

j the Dempsey-Flrpo fight. The crlt-
ics didn't give Flrpo a chance and,
j as was done at Shelby, the wiHe
I "birds" tried to pick the round and
j the punch. It was a short fight,
of course, and some opinions were
vindicated, but no one dared even
j think how many punches would be

! there would be and how much ac

! the title there has been an over
whelming sentiment in favor of
one of the prinicpals, but the spec
ulation on the Flrpo-Wills fight
finds almost as many guesses as
there are guessers.
Wills was installed as a slight
favorite when the match was
made. But the betting changed
when It was learned that Flrpo
was training seriously and the
South American became the fa
vorite. Opinion has been changing
so much, however, that It Is pos
sible they will bo even-money

Some discussion regarding the
matter of taking the city's fire ap
paratus outside of the city limits,
is expected at the next meeting of
the city council. During the past
two years the company has had
eighteen calls from points outside
of Roseburg, and has responded to
fifteen of these alartus. During
the summer the calls have been so
frequent that the fire department
and council feel the need of some
regulation concerning the use of
the apparatus.
In answering the fifteen calls
the department has never received
payment except in the case of the
fire at the Curry estate, where a
gif of 150 was presented. In spite
of the fact that the cost of each
call amounts to at least $10. and
often much more, the city and the
fire department have been re
quired to pay the expense.
In recent months the depart
ment has been called for a fire at
Winston bridge, where the use of
chemicals saved that structure; to
the Curry estate, wliere the home
was saved from destruction; to
the Bryant home in Umpqua Park,
where nothing could be done bo
cause of the lack of a bridge to
cross the river; to Edenbower
whero the Rutter prune drier
burned, and to several grass fires
on' reservoir bill. The department
also has responded to calls from
Edenbower, when Tom Jennie's
house burned; Ten Mile, Mt. Ne-
bo and Edenbower grass fires, and
Green Station, when five homes
were burned there. The apparatus
also went to Wilbur, for the big
fire there; to the poor farm and on
last Sunday to Green Station again
when the Grant Smith place was
threatened by a grass fire. In ad
dition members have used tht;r
private cars in going to grass fires
In various localities. Four or five
calls have been sent In, to which
the department did not respond.
Fire protection is one of the ad
vantages accruing from residence
Inside city limits. Residents of
cities pay a tax each year to main
tain adequate fire departments,
and obviously it is not right to re
quire these people to pay for pro
tecting those who reside outBlde
and pay no tax.
For instance there are Buch
communities as Edenbower, Mil
ler's Addition, parts of West Rose
burg, Umpqua Park, etc., where
the communities are rather thick
ly settled and there is more cr
less damage from fire .These peo
ple pay no city tax, although they
reside so close to tho city that
they enjoy most of tho other bene
fits. However, they pay no tax to
ward the upkeep of the fire de
partment and consequently from a
technical standpoint have no right
to the use of the apparatus main
tained by the city.
On the other hand, there is prob
ably not a resident of Roseburg
who would not willingly pay the
full amount of the tax he con
tributes each year, If It would save
the home of any family, either In
the city or outside, from destruc
tion. Then there are the other organ
ized towns of the county, wliere
the residents Day for fire protec
tion, and have thfir.own small fire
Wepartments. These municipalities
are too small to arrord tne initial
expense and upkeep of expensive
apparatus, but in times of emer
gency are in need of more ad--quate
equipment. Roseburg in such
cases should be as willing to fur
nlsh help as it would be expec
tant of asslHtance should necessity
demand a call on Eugene, Medford
or some other city for aid.
In the case of municipalities of
this kind, the matter can be taken
care of along the lines adopted In i
the east. A fixed charge for the .
UHe of the apparatus' can be made,
and Iho other municipalities can
be required to keep a standing de
posit with the city of Roseburg,
and the local department ran be
called by any authorized official of
I the neighboring city. Hut In the
I rnrl HUtflrfs th nrnMem l s dif
ficult one to solve, but some ac
tion will be necessary, as the city
taxpayer cannot be expected to
pay for the risking of his ex
pensive apparatus In answering
country calls.

Automobile accidents aro ad

that many people are beginning
to class driving a car as a haz
ardous occupation. But don't for
get that cars are also numerous.
Last Saturday evening Mr. and

from Seaside. To vary the mon

they met and in the first six
miles they counted 800. They es

the student population this year
will be 9000 and the freshniun

Since the beginning of thiB

been tho common experlenco of

not much less than one-fourth of

The Oregon state fair long ago
outgrew the stage of being mere
ly a community fair, and today it
ranks as an exposition of tho
wealth and progress of the entire
Northwest. It exhibits nre drawn
from the four corners of the en
tire stato .and from numerous
other places as well. Its cham
pionship are sought Dy livestock:
breeders in Washington, Canada,
Oregon and state farther east.
Many things seem ideal for a fair
greater than ever this year. There
is a tremendously renewed in
terest in better livestock and
boys' and girls' club work is
making giant strides 'along all
lines, livestock In particular. -
Little need be said to forecast
the big livestock show at the state
fair this year, for Interest Is es
pecially keen this season, and
competition promises to arouse
the moBt lively concern. Much
of the $76,000 offered "In pre
miums and purses," goes to make
up prizes in the livestock divi
sion and aside from this liberal
nuinetary sum, various Breeder'
and Record Associations have of
fered trophies and cash premiums
that sound attractive to livestock;
men. The Percheron Society of
America offers special ribbon for
the first, second and third prize
animals and special ribbon also
in the championship classes. The
Shire Horse Society of London,
Englund, offers silver medals for
the best registered Shire stallion
or colt and for the best reglsterci'.
Shire maro or fllley. The Amer

trophy ribbons for the champion
Shire stallion and champion Slilro

up the S:i00 and the American
Hereford Cattle Breeders' Asso

percent cash from the llolstein
Frclslnn Association of America,
this money to be paid on the gen

ed on current pren.u .u lists. This
will amount to approximately
1253.30. Tho "Br..-.n Swiss Cat
tle Breeders' Association offers
money awards for tho grand
champion Swiss bull and cow. One
of the most coveted special prem
iums is the challenge cup of tho
Fisher Flouring Mills Company of
Portland, this cup to go the the
grand champion dairy cow, all
breeds and to be retained as
permanent property when won
three times, by the same breeder,
but with not necessarily tho samo
