Three thousand men have been
thrown out OF work by the closing down
OF Puget Sound and Gray's Harbor log
cling camps, and half as many more
have been released from the Columbia
river camps. There have been times
in the past when the throwing out OF
work of 5000 men would be regarded
as hardship, but with such an enor-
nous demand for all kinds of labor in
other pursuits it may prove highly ben
eicial to have supply made available.
Present prospects indicate record
breaking wheat crop in the Northwest
this season and thousands of men will
be needed to take care of it. More
thousands are wanted on railroad work
and for other industrial undertakings
now under way in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.

KING EDWARD IS CH|LD'S SPONSOR Much Ado Is Made Over
 James, Infant THE COUNTESS OF ESSEX King Laughs at Her Bean-eating Ten dency and She Returns to Flesh
 pots-Also Abandons
 Motoring
BY PAUL LAMBETH.

London. October 5.-Probably no infant with the exception of the heir to the Span ish throne has had so much fuss made about him as the son and heir which was born recently to MT. and Mrs. Willie James, the kings great friends.
 His majesty has consented to become sponsor to the child and the other day Mrs. James carriage, containing herself. the nurse and the baby, was unhorsel by her farm tenants and outdoor ser wants and drawn in triumph through the grounds of West Dean park to the house, where a presentation was made to the happy parents.
 . Constant telegrams asking after the health of the boy pour into West Dean every day from all parts. of the country. Tie infant, which is very tiny mite and takes after it's mother who is very lit- tie woman, will be one of the richest un- titled Men in England
 Mrs. Willie James, who has two daugh- ters, has waited many years for a son. and her joy knows no bounds. She is a singularly attractive woman with q very dainty French appearance and as "Cin- derella" in the famous Chatworth the
  shire, she contrived to look about four teen
 She is born actress and dancer and has never been known to say an unkind thing about another woman Tn this re- spect she resembles an even greater friend of the king, Mrs. George keppel.
 The Countess of Essex, who has been staying at Tulcham a guest of the Sassoons during King Edwards visit, will be remembered in America as Miss Adele Grant. For many years the countess was an ardent vegetarian, but combination of accidents. combined with some mild chaff of the king, has sent her back to the fleshpots.
 Of late she has been looking far from well. She has lost flesh and her com- pleXion has become painfully anaemic looking that the king made a good deal of fun out of her bean feasts and cab bage cult. At one time the countess was a keen motorist, but her enthusiasm for the automobile has vanished like her veg etarian eagerness. She has had al most supernatural run of bad luck.
 At AiX she had a smash, followed all most immediately by another in England, when she collided with brake filled with pcnickers. Then came several more casualties until her ladyship vowed she would never travel in motor again. All most her first ride in a hanson cab pro- duced an accident. for little boy was run over in Oxford street.
