MCCONNELL WAS UNCONSCIOUS
Was Not Sunstruck. But Was Taken
Quite Sick.

James Mcconnell. the expressman.
was found unconscious at the dump
ground below the city this afternoon,
and from all indications, he has suf-
fered a sunstroke. He had gone to
the grounds with a load of garbage
and while unloading the same had evi-
IDENTIFY been overcome with the heat
and tainted.
He was first found by some boys,
and it was thought he was dead. Ac-
cordingly residents of that section no
titled Coroner Ralph Folsom that a
man had dropped dead there. Mr..
Folsom at once started for the scene
with a rig, but before he arrived it
had been ascertained that the man
was in need of a physician rather
than the coroner.
At 8 o'clock Mr.. Mcconnell was re-
ported as all right again, and that he
had not suffered sunstroke, being
merely taken sick while working at
the dump grounds.

"BACK TO THE WOODS"
Scores Seek Mountain Shades Ycstcr-
day-Bingham Crowded.

In order to escape the heat of the
town yesterday, scores of people left
the city Saturday evening and yester-
day for Bingham Springs, Meacham
and other places in the mountains
nearby. Also a number of families
left for Lehman and Hidaway springs
for more extended outings.
At Bingham Springs the swimming
pool was filled with hathers nearly
all day, and the hotel accommodations
were taxed to care for the crowd.
Many returned from the springs last
evening and a dead" car on No. 5
was resurrected in order to accom-
modate the crowd on the return trip.
Owing to the block system being out
of order for nine miles this side of
Huron. No. 6, the eastbound passenger
yesterday was forced to follow flag
man for that distance, causing loss
of nearly two hours time.

WALLA WALLA FRUIT LIGHT.
Effects of Early Freeze Are Felt i'm
the Yield

on account of the freeze in the early
spring, when the trees were about to
blossom this section of the country is
light on several varieties of fruit, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin.
Two successive years of short crops
have resulted from practically the
same cause-cold weather when the
trees were preparing to blossom. This
years production of prunes and
peaches will be lighter even than last
year. Cherries were rather scarce,
and not great many were secured
for canning purposes. All the smaller
berries, among them blackberries and
raspberries, are not very plentiful.
w. A. Ritz, county fruit inspector in
summing up the fruit situation, states
that the prospects are for very light
fruit crop in general.
Some Damage by Pests.
In speaking of the fruit pests Mr..
Ritz said: while it is evident that the
fruit tree pests with which the grow
er has to contend, are doing some
damage, at the present time it is i'm
possible to tell how much. Some
damage has resulted from the San
Jose scale and some from the Goblin
moth. Growers were generally very
careful in spraying their trees during
the spring and it is thought that the
damage from ether source will not
amount to very much.
80 far no disease infected fruit
has been brought into the state. Next
week a careful inspection of all fruit
shipped in from other states will be
made and that which is infested will
be destroyed"

WILL DESTROY FORESTS.
English Expert Says Canada and
America VIII BE Dcnuded i'm 20
Years.


Years.
Gilbert Rogers of England, for 19
years in tho Indian forest service,
made the startling assertion today that
the forests in Canada would be worked
out in 10 years and those in the United
states in about the same time unless
radical action was taken by the gov
ernments of the two countries for the
preservation of the trees. He said
that in 20 wears the value of timber
in the United states would increase
200 per cent. and that there would
not be good timber to lie obtained at
that price if the present devastation
was allowed to g on.
Mr. Rogers is making a tour of the
forests of the United States in COM
pany with j. Garvin Peters of the
United States forestry service. They
have travelled from the Atlantic coast
to the Pacific and after visit to the
forests of oregon will go into British
Columbia and return east through
Canada.
Biltmore and other famous private
reserves in the eastern states were
visited by the foresters and the state
reserves throughout the south as well
as the government lands in the middle
west and California. In speaking Of
forestry, Mr.. Rogers said:
There is one advantage America
has over India in the forestry. The
soil has wonderful rejLvenating quail
~. In, Ind
such conditions it will be comparative
ly easy for this country to rebuild its
forestry areas. In India in the past
year the expenses of the government
in maintaining the forest reserves ex-
ceeded the revenue by $5,0OO,OOO. Be-
tween and 10 per cent of the total
land area OF the country is devoted to
forestry. while in this country but lit
tie over 2 per cent is devoted TO the
same purposes.
IAN interesting feature that / would
like to see followed in this country
and Canada is that of municipalities
owning and operating reserves. More
than 60 per cent of the reserves in Ger
many are owned by the cities and the
revenue yielded by them not only pays
for the maintenance of the forests,
but for the upkeep of the roads and
a sum of money to the treasury.
"Only an amount of timber equal
to that grown each year is cut, thus
insuring permanent forests. This
would be a great thing for the west
ern cities to adopt before they find
themselves in the same condition as
the eastern states, namely, no state
lands left and all timber cut"

ming. The water at Umatilla is very
poor at this season of the year, and
1t is thought this, with the heat, caused
