it could be extinguished by the fire

a decided headway and had climbed
up the back stairs of the theatre to
the roof before it was discovered and
the alarm turned into the station.

REP. r. B. HARRISON
Somewhere between Klamath Falls
and Oregon City is Colonel Charles W.
Thatcher, the noted good roads expert,
who was to speak at the Commercial
club rooms Wednesday afternoon.
Not a line has been received from
the lecturer by Secretary Freytag of
the club since he wrote that he would
be here Wednesday, and asked the
club to make preparations for a gi
gantic good roads ral'y. The officers
got the crowd together but the speak
er failed to put in his appearance. As
they had heard nothing from him since
that time, they were unable to give an
explanation of his failure to arrive
here at the time appointed and had to
dismiss the crowd with the statement
that further announcement of the
meeting would be given.
Several of the road supervisors of
the county were present as were a
large number of others interested in
road improvement.

SAND ON RIVER BANK
When "The Ruth" returned to Ore
gon City Wednesday night from a trip
to Portland, she found the "Annie
Cummings" stretched across the river
with her nose in one rand bank and
her stern in the other.
While the "Cummings" was making
her way down the stream with a cargo
from the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Pa
per company for Camas, Wash., she
turned the bend of the river at Tonkin
in the rapids suddenly and was thrown
against the shoals on either side of
the channel. As "The Ruth" came up
the stream, she found the passage
blocked. Before she could make her
return to the city, she assisted the
"Cummings" in unloading part of her
cargo and in getting her head straight
ened into the stream again.
Though the rudder of the crippled
ship was slightly bent, there was no
particularly serious damage done by
the accident and the boat was able to
continue on her way under her own
power. "The Ruth" returned to Ore
gon City Wednesday night somewhat
!ater than her schedule.
