HEAT CAt'SES RED BLVFF'8
SIDEWALK TO JVMP VP
RED BLUFF, Cal if., July 5 The
intense heat of the last few days
caused an odd break in the West
Side State Highway, just north of
Proberta, yesterday, when the pav
ing fairly "Jumped Into the air,"
leaving a stretch of several yards In
'ength dangerous for travel.
The heat, according to reports
brought here, forced the paving to
rise a foot or more, and there It
remained In a peculiar looking for
mation. The thermometer register

Marconi Hopes to Get Message FromxMars
RAIX FALLS IX SACRAMENTO I
OX MORXIXG OF FOVRTH;
Twenty-five thousand people is
a conservative estimate of the num
ber who were In Ashland yesterday
to attend the Fourth of July cele
bration. Many believe that this la
1 lie largest number ever in attend
ance at a single event In this city; al
though In the past the famous rodoes
attracted big crowds. lie that as
It may, the attendance was a rec
ord breaker for any event ever be d
in southern Oregon.
In order to get an Intelligent es
timate of the number of people
here, it can be said that after the
fireworks hud cono'uded the pro
gram for the day, a steady stream of
automobiles started from the park
on tin return journey. They fol
lowed each other about ten feet
apart, three cars pass'in a gi.vn
poll t In onV mjnujtal , Fifty-five
tiilmi :i elapsed from the homeward
1'a.rt i.!' the first car to the last, on
Granite street. That would total
16D0 cars. On the roadway through
the park, imrallellng Granite street,
the cars moved at about the same
rate for the same length of time.
Estimate that at 1650 cars. There
were probably more, as they moved
somewhat faster. Then on the low
er, or ditch drive, they moved Ina
steady stream for thirty- foalnutes,
and even a larger number for the
same period, took the homeward
route via the scenic drive. Taken
all in all, a very conservative esti
mate wou'd place the number of
cars leaving the park at five thou
sand. Add to this the cars parked
on Main street. Both sides of the
street were lined with cars a'most
from the city limits on the north
to the Boulevard on the south
Every side street too, had its quota
of cars. How many it would be Im
possible to even conjecture, but It
can scarcely be taken as an exag
geration to say that there were six
thousand automobiles In the city
and that tbey carried an average of
tour persons. In many Instances the
cars contained all the way from four
to a half-dozen even more, but on
an average of four to a car, It would
easl'y account for an attendance
of twenty-four thousand people.
Add to this the number who came
In on special trains of the southern
Pacific from Grants Pass, Duns
mulr and Weed and you have an at
tendance of twenty-five thousand.
In point of attendance the cele
bration marks a record, but not the
only one.
There was not an accident during
the day.
There was not an arrest made dur
ing the day.
There was not a fire reported
during the day, except for a five
Inch hole burnt In an awning and
the burlap wall of one of the con
cessions in the park.
Too much credit cannot be given
the police department for the man
ner In which the vast crowd was
handled. Chief Hatcher had fif
teen extra policemen sworn in, and
had he picked his men frofh the traf
fic squads of Portland, they could
not have (rendered better ervlce.
At no time, either during tie pa
rade or afterwards was there a con
gestion of traffic anywhere. How
nix thousand automobiles could be
parked in a city the size of Ashland,
without obstructing traffic, or how
twenty-five thousand people could
be handled without an accident and
without a irow during the entire day,
is one of the things that passeth
the point of explanation. The fact
that It was an actual accomplish
ment will have to stand for Itself.
The parade' was a great success.
For one thing it started on time
and during the passing of the pro
cession there was not a dull moment.
So fascinating was the 'spectacle
that the crowds Dining the sidewalks,
seated and standing, at every avail
able point on the line of march,
held Its ground until the parade
