WORK
OF
FIREBUG
Empty Houses Flare Sim
ultaneously With Huge
Wood Storage Pile
Fighter Overcome By
Heat Many Drawn By
Spectacle.
The spectacular fire which destroy
ed more than 200 cords of wood In
west Medford last night, broke out In
two empty houses nearby and threat
ened the entire section of town, was
being Investigated by Flro Chief Hoy
Elliott today.
Ed Baumfti, one of tho fighters
though not connected with the fire
department, was overcome by heat
and taken to a hospital for treatment.
He was not injured seriously, and left
the hospital later In the .light.
The 400 cords of wood piled on the
site, was covered by Insurance, tt was
announced today. The loss Is not yet
known as burning debris made it im
possible to make a complete check,
the owners said.
Obviously Incendiary
Blazes In the two houses were
obviously incendiary. Chief Elliott
said, as It was impossible for them
to have been started by the other
flames. One of the houses was about
400 feet from the fire and the other
was twice that distance. Both fires.
Chief Elliott pointed out today, broke
out In t,ho rear on the far side Irom
the wood fire. The houses were
saved.
Prevailing winds were threatening
other houses as close as 100 feet to
tho flames, but were blowing In the
opposite direction from the two
structures. All three fires were burn
ing at the Bame time and called for
fast work on the part of the fire,
fighters. Only quick work by them
saved about half of the wood pile
and the two .houses, and prevented
the flames from spreading to other
buildings In the vicinity.
Wood Makes Hut Fire
The wood was owned by the Valley
Fuel company and had been piled
on the .lot for two years. It was
extremely dry and when flames once
got started In the four long piles It
was difficult to combat them. The
flames were checked when parts of
the piles were torn down to make a
break. Even then the heat was so
Intense 1,'iat the wood Ignited In si) -eral.
places, but tho flames were
quenched.
Five hoses played on the three
fires. Firemen worked on the wood
yard blaze all night. Fifteen volun
teers answered the call to aid the
regular firemen. All trucks and ap
paratus but one were called to the
blaze.
The flro was by far the most spec
tacular seen here In many years.
Thousands of people and hundreds ol
cars from all over the city and valley
thronged the area to watc.h the fire
men combat the flames. House tops
were used as vantage points for those
unable to get near enough. All
streets and alleys were packed. Traf
fic officers were stationed at streets
near the scene of the blazes.
Houses rnocriipled
Both houses which started to burn
Were empty. One was owned by
Henry Marsh. The other, vacated
only about two weeks ago was owned
by H. C. Serpent, now living In Ash
land. Mr. Sorgcnt purchased Vie
house from Mmc. Dowd Jeffcrs. The
Sergent house was Insured.
Residents of a small house adjoin
ing the SerRent house became alarm
ed when fire broke out next door. to
them and moved all their furniture
and household effects Into a nearby
lot. Their home would probably have
burned had not the firemen quickly
controlled the Sergent ,iouse fire.
The same district has been the
scene of two other fires In the past
few months. Both were at the Fir
Pine Lumber plant on Chestnut
street.
Flames wero spreading In the di
rection of the mill site lBst night and
threatened piles of lumber In the
mill yard for a time. Houses, trees
and gardens Immediately adjacent to
the flames on the west were badly
scorched. Residents checking up
damage this morning found many of
their vogetable plota either scorched
or trampled by onlookers

captured 96 miles at sea after a 36

It is not tho times but the will to

"The Job Ahead Is One of Working

"The time is ripe when, we must

he declared, placing much empha

Itolger Presides.
W. S. Bolger. manager of tho local
J. C. Penney store, presided at the
Forum luncheon, one of the largest
ever held in Medford, and introduced
the speeaker and other guests. Among
them wore Fred H. Reeso, represent
ing the Portland chamber of com
merce; Don Raymond, soloist of the
Fox Theaters, and Joan Ellis, who en-,
tcrtalned with a group of songs, and
Mrs. Archie Holt, pianist.
Mr. Penney arrived in Medford this
morning from Crater lake and will
meet this evening with Mr. Bolger
and the entire staff of the local J.
C. Penney store.
Men of today are facing a real tax
on their business courage and Ingenu
ity, he warned his listeners, as if
challenging them to meet the de
mands of the age.
"We can ascribe the lack of pros
perity to the fact that the German
war debt and reparations payments
are upaettlng European finance: that
people have stopped wearing wool and,
therefore, tho wool Industry which
has been a mainstay of industrial
life. Is gone and nothing has been
found to replace It. You can lay U
to politics, to the operations of Wall
street, or to any of thousands of po
tential causes '-which .come to our
mouths very fluently," Mr. Penney
told his audience.
. "It Is my firm belief that success
picks no ravorites, and under pres
ent conditions, I believe that overy
man In business Is as near to an equal
starting line as almost anyone else
you can mention."
Deploring the present lag in spend
ing, maintained under tho gulso of
thrift. Mr. Penney ssld, "Thero never
was more money lying Idle in this
country than there is at the present
time. This Idleness shows up In re
lation to tho corning power of money
tho same way that ideless shows up
In individuals. Idle money Is cheap
money, and has never been so cheap
as at the present time.
Too Many PeHlmltK.
"Too many of us aro acting so
much as a mirror for the present dis
turbed business conditions, that we
are unconsciously forcing this aamo
picture In the minds of mnny people
who had no conception of how bad
things really wero, until wo passed
our picture to them."
If sales are 20 per cent off now,
Mr. Pennoy explained, they can be
brought back to normalcy by Increas
ing tho expenditures of overyono 26
cents a day.
Turning again to the nocesaity for
hard work, he satd, "Thero Is a pow
erful thing about work. . When a
man Is really busy, when he Is cer
tain Insldo himself that ho is worth
carrying on his own parloll, when ho
can look at himself an an employee
of himself and say, 'There Is a man
I want to hang on to,' he has very
little time to find fault with his
neighbors or to install gloom.
"During tho past two years, or
since tho start of tho present trouble
when 'hard work' has replaced 'hlg
hopes' as tho codo word for business
advancement, there has been too
great a tendency for criticism of our
