This cannot bo done except with thorough study, and that Is ono of the proposod func tions ot the now traffic committee. They will mee with Charles M.

Bock and graveled roads total 760 miles; plnnked' roads, 26 miles; Improved earth roads, 200 mllea; unimproved earth roads 176 mlloa, A good In crease In these figures will be seen in the presont roport, Mr. Morse said.

Shel ley, supervisor of the Siuslaw forest. ' Of tbe 1840 acres destroyed, 1580 wis brush and tern land, 217 acres were merchantable timber and 85 ma ture timber, The Bluslaw forest paid 23'J0 of tbe total cost of fighting the fires. The bigteat fire In area was tbe Yellow Fir Mill fire In Yamhill coun ty, wbich burned over 200 acres. The most expensive was the Kund Moun tain fire In the same county, which did $717 worth ot damage. Mission School Is Started at Church i Dr. A. H.

These aessloni are des ignated for juniors, high school peo ple, senior young people and a clan for men and one for women, with a mixed class. . "There is a nursery at tbe manse," states Dr. Saunders, "for tbe bene fit of student-parents who bare chil dren to be taken care of while in class." Ho reports that 240 were enrolled last week, and more are expected tomorrow evening. A popular service is held at 7:30, to which all are cor dially invited. "Overflowing Sympa thy" la the short sermon topic, which will finish at 8:15. "Mr. Jue is well worth hearing In bis songs," reports the pastor. IDS WILL CLOSE TO PROTECT GRADE Closing of Uie new grado on the Crow-Vaughn road to all traffic wis ordered thi smorniug by, tbe Line county court. Two niilos of this new road will be closed during the wlntor and all traffic will be diverted to tao old road which is still in use. With the coining ot the wh.ter rains other roads of the county will also be clewed to heavy traffic in order to protect tiie new gruileg, reports Clin ton Kurd, county commissioner. By the tirat of next week it Is expectea that several court orders will be js sued- on county roads. Home to be closed to all traffic and others will be regulated as to the amount of loads, the commissioner states. Hoods ns listed by t ho commission er thn t will prohnbly be affected ore the Cilmplo ilill road which will be closed to heavy traffic on the new grade and (lie Wolf crook grade nnrl the London Springs rood, both of which will have traffic regulations. NEED OF NEW SP1 EI Urging that a new bridge be pro vided on the river east ot Cres- well to connect with a road to Cloverdale and cutting the distance about two mllea, a' delegation of property owners of tho Creswell district were here today to confer with the county court. The new bridge plan at Creawell has been talked over at varloua tlmea for the past several years but no defi nite action has been taken. It la estimated by the oounty surveyor that a "pan ot about 200 feet would be required and that at least 1000 foot of filling would be necessary at tho approach of the bridge. Tho presont bridge one mile south of the site tor tha proposed span la considered unsafe being over 40 years old, according to County Surveyor Morse. LOOK for THIS NAME PLATE Wet Streets Adding To Auto Accidents Wet streets and fallen leaves Increase the chance for accidents, It was announced today In Eu gene police headquarterB. Sev eral accidents have been report ed as a result ot skidding In leaves. Violations of the regulation for parallel parking are also being frequently roported. This regu lation Is that nil automobiles must be parked within six Inches from the curb lino, ana not ciob- er than three feet from any ve hicle In front. With the obliteration of tne linos painted on the curbing to Indicate the limit of 10 foot from the property line at street Inter sections, cars are also violating this rule. It 1b said. Tne tratnc officer and tho police department are serving notice ot their inten tion of arresting violators ot this rule. DANCE at Veneta Every Saturday Night Unless tbe night police force is Increased Eugene may again be viBlted by the "skylight rob bers" is the opinion In police neadquarters. If the city must wait until an Item Is provided In the budget for such officers it may be too late to avoid bur glaries, It Is pointed out. Announcement was received by W. O. Judklns, chief ot police, that the Miller Mercantile com' pany of Corvallls had been rob' bed of more than $4000 in mer chandise Wednesday night. The thieves entered the building In the same manner they entered numerous other stores In the val ley, making away with 18 men's suits, a quantity of ladies' dress es, blouses, coats, sweaters, skirts, silk hose and underwear. "The loss of one such robbery as this would more than pay the salaries of the two night men needed," says Mr. Judklns. "It Is thoroughly Impossible to keep watch over a city as big as Ku gene with only two men. No other city of this size on the coast is attempting it." McMorran and Washburne have employed a night watchman for their store, who sleeps In tbe place at night. This policy Is being followed by several ot the larger stores, but such protection does not extend to the smaller firms. If the smaller stores would keep an electric light burn ing all night In a prominent place In the store It would cut down the chance of robbery, the police declare. represent the majority of the local In my Judgment this is tbe best piece of macadam road in Lane county and is a credit to the men who did the work I have bad seven years in road work in Clackamas county before X came here, and I believe every fair-minded man on Coast Fork will say the same aa I do.

Do not shoot telenhonn linn clay Insulators. A report from Manager J. t,. Bland's office at the telephone company's headquarters Mn Eu gene, points out that this prac tice Is "not only dangerous to human life and safety, but It Is an expensive proposition for the company and the burden Is the long run falls upon every user." 'Wben an Insulator Is broken or destroyed," avers Mr. Bland, "It puts somebody's home some times several homes--out of 'com mission. If there Is a sudden need for a doctor, or an officer, and the line Is shorted, loss of life might result. It has been known to happen. Therefore at tention Is called to this practice on the part of unthinking hunters and small boys, who perhaps do nt realize the gravity of such an action." .
