LARGE FUND NEEDED
TO CARRY ON WORK
IN FORESTRY BOARD

After having attended a session of
the state forestry board in Salem, Dan
p. Smythe, local member of the board
returned home yesterday. The session
of the board was in response to the
call Of the chairman and was for the
purpose of considering matters of
legislation.
During the past two years the
board has been doing practical work
in the way of fire patrol and forestry
protection and is now awaiting to see
what the Legislature will ask of the
board during the next two years" "
says Smythe. ut is desired by the
board to have fund of from $4,000
to 100000 in order to carry on its
work. It will be impossible to carry
on the work in adequate manner with
less than $4,000"
Among other propositions consider
ed by the board at its session was the
plan to exchange scattered school
lands lying within forest reserves for
one solid body of timber in the San
tam national forest This Is the
scheme long favored by Governor
West and Is regarded as very meri-
torious. At the present time a vast
amount of school land is worthless to
the state through the fact 1t lies in
forest reserves and is therefore in
accessible. If the West plan is car
ried out all this scattered land will
be exchanged for an equal number of
acres in one tract in the Santiam re-
serve. This will give the state a
beautiful reserve consisting of from
SO, 900 to $4,000 acres. The reserve
will be held for educational purposes
and the ripe timber sold for the bene-
fit of the state forestry school
At the present time an earnest
move Is on by timbermen to estab-
lish a forestry school at the agricul-
tural college. The forestry board fa-
vors the plan. However the board
does not favor the bill now before
the legislature which If adopted will
make all county judges fire wardens
in their counties. The board follows
the policy of naming judges as war
dens when proper but does not en-
dorse the pending bill. Neither does
the board uphold the bill that looks
to making game wardens fire war
dens also. 1t is preferred to have the
fire wardens directly under the fores-
try board so there will be no conflicts
as to authority.

MWHORTER GETS TWO
MONTHS IN JAIL

Portland, Ore, Feb. 14.-R. H.
McWhorter and H. H. Humphreys,
two of the defendants in the case Of
the government against members of
the Columbia Orchards company, both
of whom pleaded guilty before the
December trial started, were given
sentence by Judge Bean in the United
States district court. McWhorter re-
ceived a sentence of two months in
the county Jail and Humphreys was
fined 500. Both of the fines were
imposed according to the recommen-
dation of United States Attorney John
McCourt
The Columbia Orchards company
was engaged in the sale of bonds for
the development of a large tract of
semi-arid land in eastern Oregon.
The scheme was perfectly legitimate,
but the Misrepresentation made were
the basis for government prosecution.
1t was proved that the company with
all of its assets was worth only $780,
900, yet bonds to the value of $4,-
O00, 900 were issued. Fake subsidiary
companies were organized to promote
the sale of these bonds.

TIN PLATE ACT IS
PASSED BY HOUSE
Salem. Ore. Feb. IL

Salem, Ore, Feb. 1.-THE house
today passed the tin plate act intro
duced by Hagood, requiring owners Of
saloons, hotels, boarding, rooming and
lodging houses to have their names
and addresses plainly inscribed on a
plate over the main entrance.
1t also passed law fixing an eight
hour day as the minimum for women
workers in factories and laundries.
The senate killed a large number of
bills. One of the hardest fights came
over Senator Neuner's bill, repeating
the Coos Bay wagon road land
grant This was based on a recon-
mendation of the governor in his an
nual message, who became convinced
on investigation that the state is the
proper authority 10 bring a suit to re-
store ninety thousand acres in the
Coos Bay gran to the public domain.
Finally the bill was indefinitely post
poned.

ANGLERS HERE ARE
OPPOSED TO BILL

Umatilla county anglers are up in
arms over a bill now being consider
ed by the Oregon legislature and
which local sportsmen declare will
ruin trout fishing in eastern Oregon.
1t is the measure which has for its
object the exemption from the screen
law of all irrigation bitches leading
from streams having a flow of less
than $50 inches.
According to President Matlock OF
the Umatilla County Fish and Game
association, an organization with a
membership of approximately 200, the
only stream in this county on which
screens would not be exempt is the
Umatilla river. Every one of its trib-
utafies would be exempted and Mat.
lock says the only streams in this sec.
tion of the state which would not be
exempted by this bill are the Una
tilla, Deschutes, John Day, Walla
Walla, Grand Ronde and Wallowa
rivers.
A great deal of feeling was mani
tested by the large number of anglers
who attended last nights meeting OF
the association. 1t was freely charged
that the author of the bill is seeking
to put a purely personal matter
through the legislature. 1t was stat
ed that he is the owner of one irri-
cation ditch and to escape being put
to the paltry expense of screening this
one ditch he seeks to destroy trout
fishing in all of eastern Oregon.
Resolutions strongly condemning
the bill were adopted at the meeting
and Chairman c.. X. Cranston of the
state fish and game commission who
is also secretary of the local associ-
alton was authorized to proceed to Sa-
lem and use every means at his COM
mand to encompass the defeat of the
measure. State Game Warden Finley
and Master Fish Warden Clanton are
already in Salem, opposing the pass
age of the measure.
The local sportsmen are also op-
posed to the amendment which has
been tackled on to the fish and game
code which wouldw, postpone the
opening of the trout season in eastern
Oregon until May first. Other OBJ
noxious provisions were also discussed
last evening but the screen bill was
the one which received the lions
share of attention.

his cabinet believe the situation ulti.
mately will work itself out. A crisis
in Mexican affairs is expected before
tomorrow. 1t was learned from an
authoritative source that Taft will not
order intervention under the present
conditions.
A man high in Taft's confidence said
he does not consider the accidental
injury of Americans sufficient cause
for action. If wanton killing of Am
orleans is automatically reported, the
president plans Immediately to send
marines to the disturbed district and
then sending a message to congress
suggesting the advisability of send
ing troops across the border.

SPOKANE PEOPLE FEAR

Ice in Latah Creek Cause OF the
Scare; Snow May Bring Up

Spokane. Wash, Feb. 14.-Declar-
ing that a considerable portion of the
city is in danger from flooding as a
result of the heavy ice on Latah
creek, which joins the Spokane river
in the outskirts of the city, citizens
in the threatened district have asked
the city either to blast the ice on the
stream or to grant them permission
to do the blasting themselves. The
ice this season is heavier than for 90
years, and snow that has accumulated
for six weeks is certain to swell the
stream far beyond normal unless the
snow disappears very gradually
