INMAN INJURED
IN PECULIAR MANNER

Another automobile victim was
brought to Grants Pass on a stretch
er Saturday noon, suffering from a
partially dislocated neck. The vic
tim is c. c. Inman, mining man Of
Medford, who had been inspecting
mines on Swede creek and was return
ing with his party to Grants Pass
While coming down the Swede Basin
hill, IA miles from Grants Pass, the
auto struck high place in the road
and in the swaying of the machine
Mr.. Inman struck his head with such
force against the top of rhe automo-
bile that he dropped insensible into
his seat.
Dr. Loughridge was summoned by
telephone and made the IA miles in
35 minutes. He adjusted the dislo-
Gated bones of the neck and the suf-
ferer was brought to Grants Pass,
where he was placed on the 04
train and taken to his home in Med
ford.
Mr.. Inman had his neck injured
several years ago and the severe bump
on the head Saturday caused him to
succumb quickly He was resting
easily when he left Grants Pass this
afternoon.
All of the burned and injured as a
result of the auto accident, near Ker-
by, to the Kelly family of San Fran
cisco, who were en- route from Grants
Pass to Crescent City, who are at the
South Pacific hospital, are report
ed as being out of danger. Mrs. Kel-
ly arrived Friday night from San
Francisco to be with her suffering
children and husband. The daugh-
ter Angelina, who it was feared
would die, is considered in fair
way to recovery. The others, while
suffering, fearfully, are in no dan
ger of fatal results.
The body of little Myrnie Kelly,
who was burned to death, will be held
here until all of the survivors are i'm
proved. Interment will be in Port
land. the former home of the family.

PRESERVING THE SKY LINE
skyscraper Buildings Condemned 40
unslohtly and Forbidden by
Law Tn Belgium.

"The skyscraper so far has been
condemned as unsightly and hence
forbidden by municipal law in Bel
GUM, and the liberty of the individual
has been sacrificed for the benefit Of
the majority. In Antwerp, for I'm
stance. no building may rise above Go
feet from the ground, no matter how
wide the street, and so the rental
value of property is limited for the
sake OF harmony.
"Ostend Is another striking example
Of the same understanding In the
municipal body. From one end OF the
city to the other, Notwithstanding the
fact that It is q summer watering
place, not q single temporary, inartis-
tic structure will be found. The city
is as substantially built as any in the
interior and it's villas, hotels and pub
lie buildings are as solidly construct
ed az elsewhere. No wooden summer
hotels, no wooden structures for
shows, no wooden walks along the
sands The parade along the water
front il as well built an the main
streets OF the city Of Brussels. So it
is with the smaller seaside resorts
along the coast, and SO 1t Ia every
where In Belgium.

Much attention has been given to

have been carefully studied. Special
success In these window boxes has
been obtained with Boston ferns.

LEAVING IT TO THE GUIDE

the Occasion When the Treut
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing. Early In the
season, II not the opening day, he re-
sponded TO the lure Of the ripping
brook. As he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook . trout that put UP . stormy
fight Evidently the ash had no mind
to grace the creel Of even an apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. Il was
not possible for him % ret near
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated In q swift
jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up in the branches OF o maple
which lowered above the alders mot

but the first OF the kind that had fall
