Mr. Hurley sat it ho was optimistic as to the future of tho American merchant marine. Ho recommended sonio changes In tho La Ko Hot to sea man's act. chiefly to prevent the de sert ton of crews.

W f (I Medford had i another destructive night fire lust night when the West Side barns, the two-story brick (struc ture on South Grape street, the former livery stable used for several years past as an auto storage warehouse, was practically destroyed by flames, and its contents comprising 28 cars belonging to the A. W. Walker Auto mobile compiiny, mostly used cms, al most a carload of cylinder oil, and four private cars wero either burned or partially burned. Mr. Walker's loss Is estimated at 120,000, covered by insurance, and the loss on the building, which is owned by the Thomas estate, is estimated at $5000, partially covered by Insurance. The private cars burned were a Ford of Harry Cutlack, no insurance; tho Ford and Chevrolet of George Maple, salesman of the Walker company, no insurance; tho Mitchell of Lloyd El- wood, partially Insured; und the Max well of John Mace of Griffin creek, probably not insured. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought that it was caused by sparks from the big heater in the rear of the structure connecting In some manner with tho carload of cylinder oil. property of the Walker company, which was stored not over 12 feet from the stove. There had been a fire In the stovo yesterday afternoon. The firo was discovered when it was centered in tho oil drums and barrels, at 8:15 o'clock. Tho alarm was at once sent In and tho departmont responded promptly, but before the firemen ar rived men had broken down the front doors and succeeded in running out a half dozen cars. The flames spread rapidly and the firemen on arrival found a stubborn fight ahead of them. A large crowd gathered and the fire was spectacular for an hour or more u the flames Bhot thru tho roof. The Interior of the building, which is 50 foot wide by about 80 feet depth, with a frame shed in the renV about 50 by 20 feet, was practically gutted by the flames and tho roof was destroyed. On evory hand late last night and during today was heard praise for Mcdford's fire department and Chief Lawton for their hard and valiant work together with judgment used, in con fining the flames to the burning struc ture. Its location In the business dis trict surrounded closely with buildings made tho fire a dangerous one. The firemen used 2000 feet of 'i'A inch hose, and had four streams from four nozzles playing on the flames, in ad dition to using 35 gallons of chemicals. Tho Walker company had Just fin ished moving Into the building from their usod car sales garage on South Fir street, nnd the 3eorgo L. Trelchler company had just moved out from the West Side stables to the garage vacat od by Walker company. The Trelchler company still had stored on the second floor of the burned structure a quanti ty of old auto parts nnd the like of no v 111 no. In addition to. the Walker company loss on cars and the largo quantity of cyllndor oil that company lost a quan tity of auto parts and the liko, of value, stored on the second floor. "While tho loss of $20,000 is covered by Insurance the amount of insurance will not begin to cover the full amount of the loss," said A. W. Walker this forenoon. "1 figure that the fire must havo started from the healer in some way. Maybe tho stovo pipe came apart and allowed sparks to fall in tho oil. Tho firemen did wonderful work in holding the fire inside the building. Everybody should take off their hats to them. Medford can well feci proud of their small department. What they lack in equipment to fight firo with they ntakd up in hard work, skill and judgment." Mr. Walker's opinion was echoed by many othors today, and general opin ion was expressed that tho somewhat meager equipment of tho department should bo greatly added to. R0SE8URG TIES " MEDFORD, PLAY OFF TONIGHT The Medford High basketball aquad met stiff opposition nt Ilosubuig" last night when It t.-ukled the Orange and ltlaok quintet on tho Uoseliurg floor. The game was fast and hard through out and ended in a 22 to 22 tie. In playing off this tie. tho Medford men made one point on a free toss, but in view of to fnet that thero was discus, slon over tills score Coach Klum of Iho Medford team arranged thnt to night's gamp wourd decide the winner of last night's contest. According to "Irish" Coleman, cap tain of the lied nnd rtlark hoop team. Koseburg has n fast and clever so.uad this season nnd If successful in to night's game it will bid for a whirl at tho state title. However, local adherents are confident that the Med ford men will carry off the honors in tonight's gaine jince they will be more familiar with tho floor and rested from their trip. True to expectation the Medford girls sextet swamped the lloseburg girls team by a 33 to 1 1 score. The gliis played their usual clever game and ibis victory places them as a strong contender for the champion ship uf this section. Senator Charles L. McNary has again come to the aid of the fruit growers of Oregon by securing an ap propriation from congress of $40,000 for investigation by the U. S. depart ment of agriculture of fruit conditions in ocean voyages. It was promised to place the appropriation at $20,000 but the Oregon GrowerB Cooperative asso ciation took up the importance of these investigations with Senator Mc Nary, resulting in tho $40,000 appropri ation. Ho has also been urged by the Ore gon Growers Cooperative association to join with California apple and pear interests in securing from congress an appropriation of $10,000 to aid in in vestigating sprays for the codling moth in pears and apples. It seems that sprays now used on pears and apples often leave a slight color and in the oast this is prejudicial to the sale of western fruits. By having $10,000 for investigation, it is hoped thnt a spray for codling moth on pears and apples may be found which will not be noticeable on fruits.
