CONAWAY TO AID
MULTNOMAH CLUB
PORTLAND MANAGER GREATLY
ELATED OVER HIS "FIND"
IN THIS CITY.

Frank E. Watkins, manager of the
Multnomah Club track team, which
will take part in the A. A. y. meet
at the Seattle Exposition next month.
has unearthed a fine in A. b. Coma
way, former Wisconsin athlete,
who is just now practicing at Enter
prise, Or says the Oregonian. He
has written to express his readiness
to don the clubs colors. Conaway
has been out of college only year,
but has kept himself in such good
ply trim in the meantime that
he could enter a meet with very lit
tie training.
In build, Conaway Is strapping
young Hercules. He stands feet
inches in height and strips at 23t
pounds. He took second in the shot
put and third in the hammer-throw
In the big Western conference meet
at Chicago in 1907, and he holds the
shot-put record of the Iowa Intercol-
legiate association, besides the ham
mer and shot-put records of the Mis-
souri, Atlantic association. Watkins
| is confident that Conway can do his
part toward taking care OF the weight
events at the meet with full credit
to the club even In case Ralph Rose,
Flanagan, Sheridan and Mcqrath are
among his cOrretii iors
In addition to his ability as a track
athlete, Conaway is also a strong
football player. On his college team
he held down one of the guards posi-
tions for several years. As he likes
the game and has written to Watkins
that he would Ike to meet some of
the clubs football men and have
look at their lineup, it is probable
he will be seen on the field in the
coming season.

Boys Need No License.

A letter from the state game war
den to County Clerk Boatman says
his deputies are instructed to not
ask boys under Is and women for
anglers license, and therefore there
is no necessity for boys under that
age or women to procure such IL
cense. That's more like it. What's
country coming to if boy had to

STATES COOPERATE
WITH UNCLE SAM
OREGON AND WASHINGTON WILL
HELP COMPILE FOREST FIRE
STATISTICS.

Portland, Ore, July 1.-State of
ficials, associations, and individuals
VIII cooperate with the United States
Forest Service in an attempt to get
accurate records of all fire Losses in
washington and Oregon this sum
mer. The Forest Service will CON-
pile report showing by counties. the
area burned over of merchantable
timber, understandable timber. and
cut over land; the quantity and value
OF the timber destroyed, and the cost
OF lshting tle fires, In this way the
Federal and State Governments as
well as the public will be enabled to
obtain at once systematic informa-
ton concerning all fire losses in these
states.
Heretofore, this information has
been only partially collected. The
Forest Service has secured compre
hensive reports from rangers on the
National Forests, but from no other
source. The State Boards of Forest
ry in Oregon and Washington have
mad reports from their wardens, but
many regions hal no wardens. The
State and Government statistics were
in different form and not brought
together. Consequently, although
those interested in the subject know
in general way that fire entails an
enormous loss to the community every
year, they have been unable to back
their arguments for remedial action
with any definite proof.
District Forester e. T. Allen is re
'ceiving the active help of the Ore
gon Conservation Association the
Oregon State Board of Forestry, and
the Washington Forest Fire Associa-
ton in organizing the work. The
two latter have revised their report
forms to bring out the same facts
regarding all flies. The Oregon Con
servation Association Is canvassing
the state to secure suitable men to
act as fire wardens and report on
fires in their territory and presents
their names to the State Board for
appointment. 1t will also send each
man a post card reminder every two
weeks, with a return card on which
he will enter few main facts about
the fire. The Washington Fores
Fire Association will collect reports
from its rangers and from other cor
respondents where 1t has no rangers
The Forest Service will furnish frank
ed envelopes for mailing in the re
ports, and compile the results. The
Washington State Board OF Forestr...
has not made any agreement as yet,
but will undoubtedly furnish all the
aid it. can.
Every lumbei man, or any one else
who Is interested in preventing forest
fires, will see the advantage in bring
ing this information before the pub
lie and can be of great assistance by
reporting fires In his vicinity. Forms
will be furnished on application to
the Secretary of the Oregon State
Board of Forestry, or, in Washington,
to the Washington Forest Fire Asso
citation.

Working along the line of securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire, with minimum of ex-
pendiutre, the Forest Service has de-
cided to establish on the most advan-
tageous points of the National Forest
in the west series of lookout sta
tions from which news of the break

phOned to Forest officials.

In most of the National Forest
states the climate Is very dry, and
the rainfall light. Conditions, there
fore, are remarkably favorable for
the spread of fire and extraordinary
diligence is necessary in patrolling
dangerous areas. To administer the

Forests, approximately 195,000,OO(
acres, the government has about 1,i0O
men in the field. II each man could

A WASHINGTON Anecdote.

Rev Mason L. Weems, who first
published and is believed by many per
sons to have invented the story of
George Washington and the cherry
tree, used many anecdotes in his life
Of WASHINGTON to illustrate his exaIt-
ed view CT the liberator's character
One Of these shows Washington as a
talker Of politics. At the age of TWEEN
ty-two he was colonel of the Virginia
military organization stationed at
Alexandria A local political cam
paign was on Washington was q
great friend Of one Of the candidates.
A Mr. Payn was strongly in favor of
the other man. Argument Waxed
warm Young Washington made
heated remark, to which Mr.. Payn
took offense Mr. Payn carried cane
-one Of those heavy sticks SO popular
in colonial days. He raised his cane,
brought it down upon the head Of the
future Father of His Country and laid
the young colonel along the floor.
Some of Washington's soldiers want
ed to fight. but he restrained them.
He went to his room, pondered all
night over the affair and next morn
ing sent fer Mr. Payn. The latter, OF
course, expected that Washington was
going to challenge him to mortal COM
bat He had visions of pair Of pis-
tolls. Arriving at Washington's room,
he was amazed to find wine and cheese
on the table, Of which the young man
invited him to partake. Then Wash
ington apologized to the man who had
koncked him down. He admitted that
he had been in the wrong. Such is
Parson Weems' account, who goes on
to moralize at length over the story.

VEGETABLE co. ENJoINED
Court Commissioner Enjoins Chicago
| Co. From Taking Property in Salem


Court Commissioner James E. Tully
late Friday afternoon issued an injunc-
ton against G. H. Wyman and the
Craig Vegetable Company, an Illinois
Corporation, to protect the property Of
George Booth of Trevor in the Town of
Salem which is held by the company
under a ten-year lease. It is claimed
by Booth that the company is planning
to abandon the lease and that the Of
fcials of the company have threatened
to tear down the buildings on the prop
erty and to root out acres of straw ber-
ry plants. Booth recently brought a
suit before Justice Button Of Salem,
but the suit was thrown out Of court
and he then started an action in the
Circuit Court claiming damages to the
amount of thousand dollars. The
injunction was served on the defendants
in the action on Friday evening. The
case is proving very interesting one
to the people Of Salem and public senti-
ment is pretty well divided in the mat
ter.
