"Your commltteo hns asked mo to

men whoso deeds wo'ro celobratlng,
whom wo should gratefully venerato,

to tho necessity ot doing something
out o ftho ordinary la order to cole

BUR6ESS BURNED THE MONEY EASILY
AND ALSO NEARLY BURNED HIS HOME
"I havo horo my famous monoy
burning trick," announced Arthur
Hurgess at his homo on South Con
tral avonuo, last ovonlng ns ho drow
a flno appearing spoclmon of tho
long green from his hip pocket.
Watch closely for tho moro you
watch the less you seo," he cantluuod
and his startlod family saw him ap
ply a lighted match to tho Innocont
groenback. Thoro was a slzalo, a
blazo, and a million sparks and tho
bill disappeared.
After thefsmoko had subsided and
tho proper amount of applause had
been given somooiio noticed a thin,
dancing flamo playing havoc with tho
parlor oungo. It looked for a min
ute as If tho loungo was to follow
tho greenback's oxamplo and that
porhaps tho wholo houso might take
tho notion to disappear In smoko,
Huckots of wator woro brought and
a neighbor, Fred Weeks rushed ov

"Tho porformanco Is concluded,"
-omurkod Burgess. "And tako it from

A. J. Edwards of. Ashlnndf'iiij his.
little Ford'raeer woniluTO-'niilo
class raee for cars of 40 .horse
power or less, Monday morning; his
time for the 5t mile course .being
1 hour and 8 minutes. Jack IJbfjPin
a Buick tvos second, finishingt58
seconds behind Edwards. Jimntio
Corriganin a Cadillac ivns forced to
quit during the third lap owing to.X
an accident to lite engine.
Fully 10,000 people lined tho
course and saw tho prettiest auto
mobile race over held in southern Or
egon. The greatest number of peo
ple gathered at the point of stnrting
near the Washington school. Each
time tho cars negotiated tho courao
they were wildly cheered nnd tho
crowd was ns well behaved ns a crowd
can be and gave but little trouble
comparatively to tho special police
who were active in keeping thorn from
tho street. All of the cross streets
wero roped off and the crowd kept
out of tho danger zone.
Beforo tho raco it was conceded
thatEdwards in tho Ford, would win
barring accidents. Ho has a racing
car highly geared and on tho pave
ment he made this count against tho
Buiok and tho Cadillac, both stock
cars, only partially stripped for the
race.
Corrigan got away first on tho
Cadillac. Ho drovo the car owned
hy V. J. Emeriek and made tho first
two laps in fast order. On tho third
a cap serowed loso from the bottom
of his wnter pump and tho hoating
of his engiuo caused hira to with
draw. Edwards in tho Ford was tho sec
ond to ho started. Ho drovo n splen
did race but did not have good luck
on tho corner of Oakdalo and Main
his car skidding nnd turning clonr
around twico. Each timo his eu
gino was stalled hut ho lost no moro
than 15 seconds in gottiug awuy
again.
Jaok Noff in Frazier's littlo Buick
was in tho raco all tho timo and drovo
well, no turned tho corners in good
shnpo and it was a surprise to many
that ho kept so closely on tho trail
of tho Ford. His timo was 08 sec
onds behind on tho finish.
Corrigan will drivo tho Cadillac
again this afternoon in tho free-for-all
and will probably make a good
showing 3 ho is thoro all tho timo
in driving, nia norunrq wnm n.n
prettiest of tho day.
