strong wind prevail,
Throughout most of Oregon and
Washington, up to the present time,
more extensive organizations by tim
Der owners and. the forest service than
ever existed before has fairly well
connterbalanced the unusually great
number OF fires. Most of them have
been controlled promptly. Neverthe-
less, the aggregate OF small outbreaks
in valuable timber represents heavy
loss. The Santiam, klamath. Wallows
and Hood river districts in Oregon, and
the Grays Harbor and Colville districts
in Washington have suffered serious

Will Search for Son.

Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Rear
Admiral John A. Rogers, command
ant of the Bremerton navy yard at
Puget sound, Washington, has retired
at the statutory age limit of 62 years,
and will go to Alaska to take up the
forlorn hunt for his son, who was
lost in the wilderness there a year
ago. Capt. Vincendon L. Cottman,
who has been the captain of the Bre-
merton yard, has been made com
mandant.
Rear Admiral Rogers was one OF
the men who perfected the navy's
wireless system, and he had fine
record in the line. He entered the
naval academy at Annapolis in 1868
and had been commandant of the Bre
merton yard since 1908. He was made
rear admiral in that year.

Bomb Mystery Unsolved.

Ridgeway, July 28.-Detectives and
officers working to solve the assassin
alton of former Mayor A. H. Bouse-
man, of this place, who was killed by
the explosion of a dynamite bomb
while sitting in his front yard, are
now of the opinion that the assas-
sination was the outcome of plot
in which several are implicated, but
up to the present time they have
made little progress in tablishing
the identity of the guilty parties.
1t is the generally accepted theory
that the assassination was done by
negroes in revenge, either on account
of the accidental killing of negro
in which Mayor Bouseman was impli
Gated, or probably on account of some
punishment, which the mayor had
| meted out while presiding over the
police court.
| In addition to the rewards of $500
i offered by the city council, $3.50 by
the board of supervisors and $3.50 BY
Governor Mann, private subscription:
have added $500 to these, making the
total reward $1,500.

ARREST SUNDAY

Quebec, July 2S.-A warrant for the
arrest of DIR. H. H. Crippen, wanted

10:40 o'clock broke a deadlock and
cast the vote that nominated Maj
Stedman for congress from this dis
trict. At 6 o'clock the conventioE
took recess till 10 o'clock. At that
time Rockingham served notice that
it would vote on four successive bal
lots solidly for Jones, then on four
successive ballots solidly for Roys-
ter and finally on four successive
ballots for Stedman if necessary. The
vote was so cast, first for Jones, and
then for Ryster without nomination
being made. The very first time Rock
ingham cast it's full quota of Al votes

twenty-four more votes than were
necessary to nominate, the ballot be-
ing the 43Sth. Maj. Stedman was
called for and made stirring speech.
Jones, Royster and Mebane made
speeches entirely free from bitterness
and warmly pledged their support to
the successful candidate. Maj. Sted-
man is receiving numerous telegrams
of congratulations from all over this
state.
