Forest Fires Feared

The warm weather has caused a few
small forest fires to develop in the
Green Point hills Rangers, however,
soon extinguished them Yesterday
morning Julian P. Scott telephoned
County Judge Geo. r. Castner, stating
that serious fire was burning near his
ranch at Dee. The blaze was found to
be of small consequence, however.
If the warm, dry spell continues
there is danger Of fires spreading over
the forest belts.

NATIONAL OFFERS
STORAGE SERVICE

To the apple growers of Hood River.
Growers who ale without home stor.
age facilities will be greatly interested
in learning that the National Apple
Company will institute entirely new
methods IN Hood River the coming
season in the way of taking care of
the growers, who, for various reasons,
are not prepared to care for the storage
and packing of their own apples at
picking time. To such growers the
National Apple Company will extend
the following privileges, which will
apply TO Newtowns, Ben Davis, and
lother long Keeping varieties but will
not apply to Jonathans. Spitzenburgs
Baldwins or Ortleys:
The grower may grade at the orch
ard his apples as to extra fancy an,
fancy, but need not grade for size. fiji
his paper lined boxes, using cleats un
| der top cover, and deliver to our ware
house and receive proper receipts foi
same. Before packing, these apples
will be passed through our sizing ma
chine, and will then be packed in
season.
BY handling apples this way, the
troubles of the grower will be materi-
ally lessened, his apples will be re-
moved from his open sheds mmedi
ately after picking. and placed In cola
rooms at once, thus adding greatly to
their keeping qualities, and avoiding,
first, the danger of over ripeness by
open weather heat, and also, the fur
ther danger Of having his apples frozen
in his unprotected building; and the
greatest benetft of all will be a very
much reduced cost of packing.
We will have regular trained force
of packers working steadily in the
warehouse Such varieties as will need
to move early will. of course, receive
first attention and liberal advances of
money will be made to growers upon
their warehouse receipts.
We therefore suggest to the growers
that it will be greatly to their interest
to have talk with US as soon as possi
BILE relative to this matter.

DELAY GRAZING LAND BILL.
No Action Possible at Present SEES
sion of Congress.

No Action Possible at Present Ses-
sion Of Congress.
Washington, D. C.-Because Of the
differences of opinion that exist in and
out Of congress there can be no legis-
lation at this session looking to the
regulation Of grazing on the public do
main. This has been the first session
when any serious effort has been made
to pass leasing bill, and considers
ton of this subject was put off SO long
that no agreement is now possible.
Finally the whole question was in
volved in such bitter controversy that
it became necessary to set it aside
until next winter and possibly for
another year after that.
A bill introduced by Representative
Lever, of South Carolina, formed the
basis of committee discussion this
spring and the bill has the hearty sup
port of the department of Agriculture,
which is given control of all grazing
on the public lands. In the course of
the hearings Clifford Pinchot, pri-
vate citizen, appeared and recommend
ed the passage of the Lever bill. At
the same time Secretary Fisher, of
the Interior department, appeared in
opposition to one phase Of the Lever
bill and suggested that the regulation
of grazing should be left in the hands
of the Interior department, which now
has jurisdiction over all unreserved
public lands.
Inasmuch as this subject will be
postponed until next session, and as
the house committee on public lands
intends to make the Lever bill the
basis of it's reports, the provisions of
that bill become of interest to West
ern stockmen.
The president of the United States
is authorized to establish by proclama-
ton, grazing districts upon the un-
reserved, unappropriated public lands
of the United States, conforming to
state and county lines so far as prac-
ticable; whereupon the secretary of
agriculture shall appoint all officers
necessary for the administration and
protection of such grazing districts,
regulate their use for grazing pur-
poses, protect them from depreciation,
from injury to the natural forage
crop, and from erosion; restore and
improve their grazing value through
regulation, by the eradication of pois-
onous plants and by the determination
of predatory animals and otherwise
eradicate and prevent infectious and
contagious diseases injurious to do
nestle animals; issue permits to
Craze livestock thereon for periods OF
not more than 10 years, which shall
include the right to fence the same.

Roosevelt appealed to the people of all
sections, regardless of party affilia-
tions, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be "Thou
shalt not steal"
The informal nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting temporary
organization. Beginning tomorrow,
when call is to be issued for state
convention in Illinois, the work of or
ganization will be pushed forward rap
idly, state by state.
At later time, probably in August,
national convention will be held.
Colonel Roosevelt, in accepting the
nomination. said he did so with the
understanding that he would be will
ling to step aside. if it should be the
desire of the new party when organ
lied to select another standard
bearer.

Bryan Displeased, But Sage Of Esop-
US Will Preside.


Baltimore, June 22.-Alton B. Par
ker, of New York, was selected today
as the temporary chairman of the
Democratic national convention by the
arrangement committee. The choice
of Judge Parker was made despite the
protest of William J. Bryan, whose

sentative Henry, of Texas, received
three Votes; Ollie James, senator
elect of Kentucky, three votes; SEN
ator Kern, of Indiana, one vote, and
Senator O'Gorman, of New York, one
vote.
AS the campaign managers of those

tion to Judge Parker was in conse-
quence split up.
The committee chose Urey Wood
SON, Of Kentucky, as temporary SER
geant-at-arms.
The selections of the arrangement
committee are in no sense final. They
must be passed upon at full meeting
of the national committee.

Olympia-State'Labor Commission
er Charles F.. Hubbard has returned
from Washington, where he went to
attend the annual convention of the
international association of the Off
GERS of the bureaus Of labor and fac
tory inspectors and industrial commits
sioners. While in the East he also
attended session of the Factory In
spection and Medical Association on
Industrial Diseases and Their Proven
ton, one session being held at Balti-
more and another at Atlantic City.
He was also in New York, where he
spent several days at the museum Of
safety appliances for preventing acct
dents around dangerous machinery.
While in other states large forces
are employed by the bureaus of labor
in their various departments, their
methods of carrying on the work are
similar to those used in this state.
There are ZIG employees in the New
York State bureau of labor, while the
Pennsylvania bureau has so factory
inspectors and correspondingly large
force engaged in industrial disease,
child labor and statistical work.
At the convention of labor commits
sioners in Washington, D. c., an at
tack was made upon state industrial
insurance by Carl M. Hansen, manager
of the Pacific Surety company, and es-
pecially upon the Washington State
Industrial Insurance commission, as
serting that it could not exist, and
that the cost of all state insurance
would be much more than old-line in
surance. Serious objection was made
to this speech by Commissioner Hub
bard, on the ground Of misrepresenta-
| tion of the Washington law, and sim
liar objection was made by Commits
sioner Beck, of Wisconsin, where it
was shown that Hansen misrepresent-
ed state insurance conditions. Mr..
Hubbard read report of the first four
months operation of the Washington
law, which was received with interest
and which showed that the attacks
made upon the law were not warrant
| ed nor lust.

Eugene, Or.-The inch of rain that
has fallen here has done considerable
damage to the late strawberry crop.
Berries were ripening fast and will
rot on the vines unless they can be
picked very soon. Early cherries may
be harmed some, but the Royal AIMS,
which comprise the bulk of the crop
in Lane county, are not far enough
along to be injured. No other fruit
suffered at all. Very little hay has
been cut. Hops are making better
growth than for years and growers
have no fear of the rain.

TETON TRACTS OPEN.
Homeseekers Say Water Cannot Be
Furnished to All Land.


North Misunderstanding that the
reclamation service has fixed too high
the number of irrigable acres in some
of the farm units in the third district
of the Tieton unit of the Yakima rec
lamation project, which was opened
last month, six persons who filed on
tracts have withdrawn their applica-
tions. These tracts and eight others,
for which no application was made,
are still open for homesteaders.
None of the persons who secured
tracts in the drawing of June 5 have
relinquished their claims. The six
who have withdrawn were persons
who filed on tracts for which no appli-
cations were made before the draw
ing.
1t is stated by some of them that if
the estimate of the irrigable acreage
were reduced they would take the
land. Owing to the fact that the gov
eminent has based all its calculations
as to cost per acre of the reclamation
project on the irrigable acreage as
now fixed any reduction in this would
be difficult. The suggestion is made,
however, that the government will un-
doubtedly be called upon to furnish
considerable water for pumping on
tracts not included in the irrigable
acreage estimate and that this would
compensate for any reduction which
might have to be made to dispose of
the remaining tracts.

friends distributing badges, streamers
and hat bands bearing the legend,
'Borah for President. Instantly he
appealed to his admirers to recall
their campaign material, for he re-
fused to take their abullition as more
than compliment and did not want
to be the laughing stock of the con-
vention.

from his adherents and groans and
Kisses from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early today that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty,
ton decided to give him as running
mate his companion on the ticket in
