XVII nO. 193 OF THE EVENING NEWS Moss a ss TWO ROBBERY ATTEMPTS ARE FRUSTRATED Motor Shop Garage and Auto Wrecking House Entered. MONEY WAS OBJECT o-Burglar Apparently Sought Only Cash Safe Com bination Wrecked at Garage. Two robbery attempts were frustrated last night when the bur glars were frightened away, first from the Motor Shop garage and again from Thompson's Auto Wrecking shop. The attempts fol lowed only a short time after the ransacking of the Roseburg Steam laundry office. The Motor Shop garage was en tered last night about 6:30 o'clock, as near as can be ascertained. Chris Beecrbft, who is employed as floorman at the garage at night, had gone home for a few moments and returned shortly after 7 p. m. As he entered the front door ' he heard someone in the office and was able to see someone slam the iloor leading downstairs' and -heard the man run down into the; base ment.' : ' 1 . !; : ; Beecroft barricaded the door leading up from the basement and then dashed around behind the ; building, securing assistance from i men operating a: dairy ruck who j happened to be in front of the gar- . nge. The car was run Into the side street and the lights thrown Into the alley while a search was made, but the burglar could: not ; be ' lo cated. Officers were notified and continued the hunt for the man, but lie could not be located. . He had procured tools from the workshop and v had knocked the combination off the safe, but was frightened awny before he had an opportunity to get into the inter ior, so that nothing was missing and no damage done except wreck ing the strong, box. About five o'clock this morning, the proprietor of the restaurant adjoining the Thompson Auto Wrecking Shop, head a noise which awakened him and he went outside in time to see a man "come out of the wrecking shop and jump Into a car and drive away. As it was still dark he was unable to get a de scription of the man or the car. Nothing is missing, so far as could be determined at the wrecking shop. The work is apparently that of an expert who is looking for money as nothing has been taken at any of the places visited. The laundry was thoroughly ransacked, but as no money is kept there at night nothing was stolen. At the garage It was plain that money was the sole objective of the attempted rob bery, while at the wrecking house it was evident that the office alone was molested. The manner in which the rob beries were attempted would indi cate, officers believe,- that two men are working together, one . serving as a lookout while the robbery is tried. The fact that the places were entered 'during the early morning or evening indicates J a crafty boldness of a more or less experienced burglar.

TORONTO, Nov. 5. The will of Charles Vance Millar, lawyer and sportsman, in which he left brew ery stock to Methodist ministers and Ontario Jockey club shares to persons opposed to horse racing was regarded by his friends today as a joke. They said he intended to make another will, but no indi cation of another was available today. , The document, drawn up in 1921, disposes of an estate estimated at $1,000,000 to S2.000.000. It provides that the proceeds of the estate af ter nine years be given to parents of Che largest family bora in the province during that time. Mr. Mil lar died last Saturday. Some friends say that just be fore his death he told them that he Intended to make a new will. , Ontario Jockey club shares val ued at 125,000 are left to W. -- E. Raney, former attorney general of Ontario; the' Rev. Ben Spence of the prohibition union, and N. W. Howell, King's counsel, all of whom are opposed to horse racing.

Repre sentatives of the 'Pullman Car company, the American; Railway Express company and the Cnlifor-. nla-Oregon Lumber company,, ap peared , before the state tax com mission today in an effort to per suade the state officials to cut down the property valuations . . on which their assessments ill Oregon the coming year will , be based The. board has fixed the valuation or ine I'uunmn company .at 408.431.50. .the American Railway Express company at $539,287.60 and the California-Oregon Lumber com pany at $16,000. . i The Pullman company attorneys. who came from Chicago for the healing, sought a cut of over $400,- 000. They objected to the in creased valuation that has been given them in Oregon each year, declaring that there has been no increase in earning capacity or number of cars. Objection also was made to the capitalization of gross receipts which they said had been injected Into the calculation for the first time in 1924. Earl Fisher, state tax commissioner, however, showed that this had been used in 1921 aud 1922.- Ob jection also was made to valuation on a unit basis on grounds that it takes into account property that never comes into the state. Furth er objection was made to the "miles run" basis on grounds that in Oregon the cars do not earn over 80 per cent of the average all over the country on that basis. Bus iness done in the state, it was con tended, Is the only accurate basis. The attorneys showed That the valuation fixed In Oregon in 1922, was over seven per cent greater than in 1921, in 1923 over 41 per cent crpnter than in 1922. In 19!4 over 20 per cent grealer than in 1923, and in 1925 over 13 per cant greater than In 1924. UNWISE DIETING, SMOKING, BOOZE HURTING WOMEN (Associated Press Lessed Wire.) CHICAGO, Nov. 5.

National apple week is nearlng Us end, but its results will prob ably continue for a long period of time. . Although little stress was placed upon the special week in Douglas County, there have been some beneficial results shown. The merchants have . stressed apples sales more than usual and as a result the sules have - Increased. Apple cider as a beverage has also number of apple glowers who been called to the attention of many people of the city. The county has are converting their fruit Into a delicious drink and there is no" rea son why there-should not i be a much greater sale than at present. Plans for a systematic campaign for Apple Week were made laBt month by the Chamber of Com merce, but the total absence of cooperation on the part of growers. who apparently had little interest in the proposed effort, resulted In the Chamber of Commerce drop ping the activities it had planned. Apples, however, are 'being boxed and shipped under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce to ad dresses given, by - local, people, at actual-1 cost', add many 'people have taken 'advantage - of this offer to Bend apples to trlends! i i . i i: James Hjuidly'rif Q'uliicy, Illinois, made the first 'personal' appeal for National " Apple' !Day' ' twenty-one. years ago. , , '.

'; In view of. the prominence of the annle in the domestic, industrial and economic life of the nation from time immemorial It would seem strange that so much energy need to be expended now bringing it to the attention of the , wonu. And vet it is easy to explain. The annle has been regarded aB a mat ter of fact, and little attention was paid to it before these campaigns taken for granted. Everybody knew were organized because it was about it Why advertise it? But statistics proved mat me apple was not- enjoying the high favor that it had won these many years. It was ullpplng. Growers were not disposing of their pro ducts, and that wonderful, health giving domestic staple was rotting in quantities on the ground. Or chardlsts who had spent their lives perfecting high standards were threatened with ruin because un able to market their crops. Some thing had to be done. This year's crop is one of the largest that the industry has ever known and it will spel ruin to thousands of growerB unless new interest can be created in the ap ple. It Is estimated that 120 mil lion bushels will be this year's yield, which at a fair market price of $1.60 per bushel will make it one of the country's richest in dustries. But these are mere figures unless the apples can he sold. When the Industry began to look about seriously it was discovered that the orange growers spent $500,000 a year advertising, and that in a few years they have In creased the afinual consumption from thirty-seven to sixty-five per capita nation-wide.
