According to the story told of the car theft, the Smith car was taken from in front of the O. O, Vcatch home on Fifth street about 9:00 o'clock Saturday night as Mr. Smith was preparing for a fish ing trip and had run into the house for a short time leaving the ignition key in the car. The car was tuken by Ward who is said to have raced down the highway toward Drain and came to grief about a mile below Comstock when the car was over turned. Because a warrant could not be obtained on Sunday, it was not until the following day that officers were able to obtain action. Ward was said to have been taken out of the car by acquaintances whom he had run off the highway fearing a collision. He was fortu nate enough to escape serious in juries. The car was practically de molished. 1st Conference Game The first conference football game in the Lane-Douglas County League for Cottage Grove union high school will he held tomorrow night (Friday) at Kelly field at 7:45 p. m. with Reedsjiort high school. This will be a crucial game for Curtis French’s pigskin artists since these schools were in a tie for championship honors last year. Reedsport has dropped two games this season and the Lions lost to North Bend last week, so both teams will be attempting to stage b win. With the new lights installed and additional bleacher seats pro vided, a capacity crowd Is antici pated. The boys of the industrial arts department built two sections of bleacher seats with materials donated by the Durable Fir Lum ber company, the Bohemia Lum ber company, and Graber-Gettys Hardware company. 175 Street Markers To Soon Be in Place Approximately 175 street mark ers will soon be in place over town to guide the stranger in finding certain locations. The markers, consiisting of a 4x4 post painted white with street numbers sten ciled on the four sides of the post, were ready to be set Tuesday. The posts painted and stenciled by NYA workers, are seven feet in length, they will be set in the ground about three feet, leaving four feet of painted surface with the lettering designed to come Just under the headlight of the average auto. The wixxlen posts will not be used along Main street in the business section, but instead it has been suggested that street names be painted on the lamp posts. Street n a m e s along the main thoroughfare will be painted In black on a white background. C. E. Stewart Resigns Position of County Fruit Inspector, 15th THURSDAY.

Street Closures Gi Vouncilm en Bad V dache lake Barri ooessible to Traffic. WANT SAFETY MEASURES FOR SCHOOL 8TS The matter of street closures along the .85 of a mile of new highway in the south part of town, now nearing completion, may de velop into a permanent headache for members of the city council, at least until the proposition is set tled. It was the chief topic of dis cussion at the regular council meeting Monday evening. Approxi mately 200 property owners have signed petitions protesting the closure of the follwoing streets in tersections; Washington, South 8th, South 7th and Jefferson. The petition was presented the council by Nelson Durham. The highway s t r i p has been graded and constructed according to the original plan, which called for the closure of four streets. Councilmen talking on the contro versy said they understood the highway department would hold a public hearing on the matter be fore proceeding with the final plans, b u t. the highway depart ment evidently figured otherwise. Now the council has proposed to the highway department through H. W. Lombard, city attorney, that the city be permitted 7o make the barracaded streets accessable to traffic; the expense of such a project to be borne by the city. L. W. Coiner, city recorder, in commenting on the proposal, said there were no funds budgeted for fixing the intersections, but that the city might be able to use enough gravel and blacktop to tide the traffic over until next year. Making 6th street and Taylor avenue safe for high school traffic was another subject discussed Monday by councilmen. Two sug gestions as a safety measure have been made, one is a “School, Slow” sign at the intersection of Taylor and 6th, and the other is a traffic lane running across 6th street. A caution light might not be amiss at the intersection of the two streets, since raffic coming from Taylor on 6th comes in at a blind crossing. New Books at the Hi School Library The new fiction books that have been added to the high school li brary this fall are: “Silver Chief, Dog of the North” by Jack O’Brian: "Bright Island.” Mabel L.

Fire Destroys House A two-story dwelling at 1708 East Main belonging to Mrs. Dan Alleh was destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning.
