tion of North Umpqua
District.
One of the largest gatherings
of Douglas county residents ever
known in the county is untie inured
,'miorrow when the Oregon tate
h .fch way commission convenes a
session in Itoseburg to hear argu
ments for and against the propos
ed boundaries of the super road
district which residents of Itose
burg and immediate vicinity are
endeavoring to form to assist in
raising funds to complete the
Umpqua-Diamond lake highway to
the sea, and particularly the un
finished portion of the North
I'mpqua section.
No project In recent years has
aroused such great feeling. The
bitterest of opposition has been
met by the proposition, and while
the project appears to be gaining
ground, as a result of educational
nuik uunc uj in; pruiHiiiciiiB, yei
the work of the enemies - of the
project Las been on such a large
SCale that the nt.r . mini rvf.( !

and an organized and determined
opposition established.

in Oakland and sutheriin have led
the opposition, largely, it is be
lieved, because large timber inter
ests that would be affected by the
proposed tax, are wll represented
in those localities. The proposed
boundaries "would take in a great
deal of timber land east of Suth-
erlin and Oakland and also the j
-railroad lands. The municipal,-
ties were omitted from the dis
trict, and the opponents are using
thiJ fact In an effort to prove bad

of the plan, claiming that this oni

dispatch from Queenstoun today
said that the liner Celtic bound
from New York' to Liverpool was
ashore on Cow-And-Cnlf rock. 4)0
yards west of Hoches Point lighthouse-

Ireland, Dec. in. A message
from Hoches Point said that ail
the passengers of the liner Celtic
were now on their way to Coba
in tenders.
Members of the crew remained
aboard the liner in order that an
effort to refloat her might be
made at high tide.
Talking over the telephone to
the Associated Press, Johnston,
the lighthouse keeper, gave a gra
phic deicriptlon of the disaster.
"It was a melancholy sight to
see the great liner hard and fast
on the rocks as if she were held
by a hundred anchors," declared
Johnston.
Held as If in Vise
"She Is entirely on the rocks,
lying on a flat spur 30i) yards from
Koaches Point, lllier head is due
west and she 1b so firmly wedged
that there is hardly a trace of
motion of her hull.
"The liner struck at high wa
ter and four hours afterward witli
the tide receding, there was hard
ly more, than fifteen feet of waier
around her hull. Only for inn
fact that the liner was going at
slow speed there would have been
a terrible disaster. Despite this
she has been badly damaged and
it remains to be seen whether she
can be floated. 1 am afraid It will
be necessary to jettison her cargo
to lighten flip Hhip as much as
possible before this can be achiev
ed. "Fine weather Is essential to
the saving of the Celtic. If the

any exaggeration to say that she
will become a total wreck. It all

paid tribute to the man who rocked the cradle during the trying
years of aviation's early history.
Oiville Wright, who with his late brother, Wilbur, per
fected and flew the first successful flying machine, was the
center of a civic celebration to demonstrate that the first man to
fly is not a prophet without honor in his own community.
Regardless of
whetner anyone
ever questioned the ability of the
Wrights to lly in those early
days, today found a thorouKhly
"air minded" city ready to honor
lis first citizen. Seventy-five dele
gates from foreign nations, includ
ing many diplomatic officials and
aeronautical experts, joined In the
full day's celebration.
A trip to the army aeronautical
laboratoiies at W right field, nam
ed for the air pioneers, led llw of
ficials past an old barulfke hangar
and flying field which the Wright
brothers used in their early fly

set up a shop to improve their
