mother. Mrs. Freed, former residents
of Grants Pass, arrived yesterday
from their home at Philomath, Ore.,

president, and John M. Scott, general
passenger agent, left for the south
on passenger No. 15 Wednesday af
ternoon, having made a hurry-up run
In from Hell Gate to catch the train.
The gentlemen had much success fish
ing at Hell Gate, near the Twohy
ranch on the Rogue, and each landed
some nice trout. Mr. McCormlck
caught a fine steelhead that give him
a thrilling scrap before It was landed,
besides a number of smaller trout.
More Funds for the City
The police are still out with the
big hook after violators of- the pro
visions, of the traffic ordinance. As
the law against cutting corners and
driving on the wrong side ot the
street has not been very stringently
enforced In the past, some drivers
find It difficult to shape their habits
to the new order of things. Today's
grist-turned In by the watchful cops
netted the city $25, Attorney Hough
being charged $15 for cutting a
corner, while W. S. Maxwell put up
a ten spot for being on the wrong
side of the street.
Tourists Are Coming
The stream of tourists is now equal
in volume almost to the height of the
season last year. A large proportion
of the travelers this year come from
California, whoHe residents had to
stay at home and entertain In 1916.
Kvery day, however, cars from the
east are seen, today one each from
Indiana, South Dakota and Kansas
having passed through the city. The
most of the travelers are carrying
their own camp outfits and the
Riverside auto park Is filled nearly
every night. Many ot the parties
stop over a day or two to rest and
repair their autos.

The Germans have thrown two

They are making the most savage

German correspondents, admitting

SUII SPOTS CAUSE
Cleveland, July 13. The Rev.
Father F. L. Odenbsch, scientist at
St. Ignatius college here, says tbe
I'nlted States Is not going to have
any summer this year. Father Oden
bach baaed hla prediction on his dis
covery of 35 big new spots on the
sun.
"It's the most spots I have ever
seen on the sun at one time," said
the professor. "It Indicates abnormal
weather conditions, and probably
means an extremely cool summer.
"The sun spots don't directly con
trol the weather conditions, hut their
Influence Is electric and magnetic on
the atmosphere, and this Influence,
combined with local weather factors,
determines the weather.
"This year Is the 100th anniversary
of the country's famous summerless
yesr of 1 8 1 6, In thst year there were
killing frosts each month and corn
for seed sold for $7 a bushel. That
would mean aliout $38 a bushel this
yesr, by comparison.
"None of the sun spots Is visible
to the nsked eye. yet they ran he
photographed. One of these bigger
ones has a diameter of about 1,000
miles and covers the whole eastern
snd central portion of the I'nlted
States.,
J "The spots are eruptions on the
I sun's surface, are gaseous, and prob
ably flare out from the sun a hundred
I or two hundred thousand miles."
