BILLION FEET OF TIMBER
DESTROYED IN COL uMelA
Loss from Forest Fires in Neighborins
County Estimated to Have Been
Fully 100000.

One billion feet Of timber has beer
destroyed by fire in Columbia county
alone the past month, according tC
Donald McRae and ole Ritan. two
prominent timberland men. who have
visited the scene. The spread of fires
has been stopped by the showers Of
yesterday, however. and all danger for
this year is considered past.
but billion feet of timber means
good deal to oregon" says Mr. Nc
Rae. 1T means s7,OOO.oOO loss to tho
land owners and a consequent loss to
the state at large. Besides this, the
loss in taxable property will be felt
keenly by Columbia county. as the
lowners Of these burned-over lands can
mot afford to pay taxes on them as high
as before.
THE various quarter sections win
thus finally be bought in by the county
for taxes and as the lands can not be
sold for even the taxes, the loss will
be far-reaching.
Much of the land burned over is
mountainous. 1t might be fit for pas
turage, but as other peoples stock
would get the benefit of the grass, the
original land owner would derive no
profit from this.
"Timbermen hope TO see more strin-
gent laws enacted by the oregon legis-
lature next winter in order that the
valuable timber of the state may be
better protected from the ravages of
fire. We had good law passed two
years ago, but Governor Chamberlain
vetoed it, and thus worked an injus-
tice to the property-owners of the
state.
Most Of the timber destroyed in CO.
lumbia county was owned by eastern
men, but large proportion was still
in the hands of the original entrymen.
The latter class of property Owners
have in many instances lost their all
as a result of the carelessness of hunt
ers and farmers. Hunters leave camp
fires burning and the flames spread
rapidly in the dry grass and under
brush; farmers put fires in the slash
ings to burn off little clearings, and the
fire gets away from them into the ad-
jacent woods"

Case.
DELICATE POINT INVOLVED
Detense Ayers That Vessel Be-

Action Should Have
Been Brought.

Whether or not the American shir

Hume & Co. Of San Francisco. was
Oregon or California state soil" at the
time Fisherman Grimberg fell to mis-
death from the mizEen top gallantyard
is the question upon which hinges the
case of Charlotte GrImberg vs. the Co.
lumbia River Packers Association.
Circuit Judge Mcbride win render his
decision on the point this morning. and
the case viii be thrown out OF court
or continued before the jury. as the
decision may necessitate.
Yesterday morning the plaintiff An
ished her evidence. Attorney q. c,
Fulton. for the packers, moved for u
nonsuit alleging. first. lack of evil
dence for a cause Of action; second
that the accident was due to the negli-
gence Of the deceased or some other
employe: third. that the accident oc-
CURED without the boundary of the
state Of Oregon. and that the action
for damages was not properly brought
in this court.
Arguments on the motion were then
commenced. Attorneys Winton and
Noland representing Mrs. Grimberg,
contended that the action was prop
erly brought here. for the reason that
the ship was temporarily the property
of the defendant corporation, which
was. therefore, liable for damages.
They admitted that the vessel was
registered In California. but insisted
that the place OF residence Of her own
ers and not the place Of registry deter
mined the question Of the state to
which she belonged and was part.
Mr.. Fulton contended that Hume &
Co. had never surrendered the ship to
the possession OF the charterer; that
the master OF the vessel was employed
by Hume & Co.. and that certain por-
tions OF the vessel we're excluded from
the use Of the charterer; that the ship
could not be held to have been even
the temporary property Of the defend
ant so long as certain parts OF the
vessel had been reserved for the San
Francisco company. He argued that
the vessel was part Of the state OF Cal
ifornia, and that the action should have
been brought there. although this was
now impossible, because the statute OF
limitations prevented. Mr. Fulton said
the Columbia River Packers Assoca-
tion could not be held accountable for
the death Of Grimberg, for the reason
that the vessel belonged to Hume &
Co., who were necessarily responsible
for her rigging and for the safety Of
the men employed aboard.

Judge Mcbride Says Municipal
Elections Nay Be Held Under
Provisions of Old Law.
RIGHT TO VOTE INALIENABLE
Conventions May Make Nomina.
tiOns as Heretofore and Pro.
ceeding Will BE Quite
Regular.

Circuit Judge Mcbride last night ex-
pressed the opinion that the defect in
the direct primary law would not in
terfere with the elections to be held
in Oregon cities prior to the conven-
ing Of the next legislative session. AS
has been pointed out before, the defect
results from the provision governing
registry Of voters. The law provides
that all voters must register, stating
their political faith. In order to be ell
gibie to vote at primary elections, and,
as practically all of the voters of Ore
gon have registered heretofore, they
would, taking the opinions of Portland
attorneys for it, be excluded from vot-
ing at the primaries to be held this
fall.
Judge Mcbride is a warm advocate
of the direct primary law. He admits
that It is calculated to help the min
ority party, but says he would support
any bill calculated to better political
conditions, even If the bill might have
the effect of turning Oregon over to the
democrats. He is disgusted with the
crooked political methods which have
characterized elections in this state,
and is of the belief the direct primary
law will do much to eliminate Illegal
voting.
Every Man May Vote.
'T regard all this talk about the de-
feet in the law as bosh." declared Judge
Mcbride. in conversation with rep
resentative of The Astorian. The law
has failed to make provision for the
few municipal elections to be held this
fall, but that will not interfere with
the elections. The constitution guar
antees to every man the right of suf-
frage, and it can not be taken from
him because of some defect in law.
In view of the fact that the new law
is defective, the provisions of the old
law will apply. In other words, NOM
nations will be made this fall by con-
yentions. / am satisfied that this view
of the situation is correct
"A somewhat similar case. so far as
the vital issue involved is concerned,
came up many years ago. when the
county court of southern oregon
county failed to make provision for an
election in one precinct. There were
no judges and clerks of election, no
polling places, no ballots. The voters
of the precinct got together and pro-
ceeded to select judges and clerks
Then they set about to improvise regis
try books, tally sheets and ballots, and
held their election. The vote in the
precinct in question decided the re-
suit of the election in the county, and
contests followed. The case was tried
out before Judge Williams, who held
the election there was legal. The idea
is that voters have the right to vote,
and such defects as that in the primary
law can not deprive them of this right.
Where no machinery is provided under
the new law, that of the old law holds
good.

FROM MASON TO PAINTER.
The Wonderful Career of the Fam
GUS Franz Won Lenbnch.

1he WondcFfuI Career of the Fam
GUS Franz Won Lenbnch.
The great German painter, Franz
Won Lenbach who died recently. pre-
sents a remarkable proof of the power
of determination and work His child
hood was of kind that was calculated
as much as can possibly be imagined
to stife all artistic impulses and tai
ents; and IL ever a boy had an excuse
for giving up all ambition, young Len
bach was that boy.
He was one of family of seventeen
children, and his father was a poor
mason, who could barely support the
big family Nobody dreamed Of maxi
ing young Franz anything but a ma
son. like his father, and he was sent
to school only just long enough to ac-
quire the most necessary rudimen.s Of
knowledge.
He was apprenticed as mason. but
from the very beginning he was deter
mined TO 2aint. He met with no en-
couragement, for II does not appear
that any Of his family had any artistic
ideas or talents whatsoever. Still
Franz managed TO snatch time enough.
after his days work as a mason. 10 at
tehd a Wood-carVing establishment
near his home. where he gradually
learned modelling and carving. Before
long he tried his hand at painting. his
first subjects were peasants, and he
was a proud boy when he earned his
first "gulden" by painting a young
peasant woman.
From the day that he earned his first
"gulden" he made up his mind to earn
at least one such coin every day. and
he worked restlessly from that time on.
If he could not get an order TO paint
portrait. he was not too proud to
paint a sign-board. He even painted
targets for local shooting clubs
He managed at last to become q. pu-
Pill In an art school, and finally proved
his talen to the great Piloty, who took
him into his school,
Success came at last, but Franz ven
Jenbach did not allow II TO check his
industry. He was never satisfied with
himself until he had so perfected his
art that he became the foremost por-
trait painter OF the day, and the most
admired artist In all Germany, II not
