SAY FOREST FIRES
 AFFECT STREAM FLOW

Residents of Wallace, Idaho now claim that results of the disastrous forest fires in northern Idaho in 1910 are being made evident in the changed flow from a watershed then burned over, which furnishes the water supply of the city. This basin included an area of approximately two thousand acres and was former ly well timbered with trees from 50 to 200 years old. These were almost wholly destroyed by the fires of 1910. From this watershed the city gets its supply not only for domes- tic purposes, but also for the de- velopment of electricity for power and light, so that the maintenance of a considerable flow is essential to the city.
 It is stated that before the fires the flow of the stream at it's lowest

MINE 0PERATERS
 FIGHT PETITION Will Seek Injunction To Prohibit Submission Of
 Miners Bill

Little Rock, May 22.-Court pro- ceeding are expected before the end of another week, in the matter of the miners qualification bill, a petition for the initiation of which was recently filed with Secretary of State Earle w.. Hodges. Col l. D. Oglesby, attorney for the mine operators, has been Ill Little Rock going over the petitions and preparing for the contest in the courts. The proceedings will be III the nature of an injunction, in which an, effort will be made to have the petition nullified because of alleged fraudulent signatures.
 The representatives of the opera tors claim that petitions circulated by a half dozen men, show evidence or fraud. The petitions of one man, cir culated in Little Rock, they claim show over 750 names in one hand writing. These petitions were never folded, nor are there any dirt marks such as appear on all petitions hand ed about, thus indicating the signing was all done at a desk, and at one time. Much the same condition eX- ists on petitions circulated i'll a num- ber of the small towns of the state. The petition represents about lS,OOO signatures, and the attorneys for the onerators believe they will be able to take off enough of these names to defeat the petition, if they should fail to have the Secretary of State enjoin- ed from submitting it to the people on a showing of fraud.
 Fraudulent signatures on the petl- tion subject the signers to a peniten- tiary sentence, and the same punish ment for the circulation of the peti- ton, if they know the signatures were fraudulent or fraudulently obtained. The operators claim they will prose cute those who circulated the petl- tions, if they can secure evldence which will cause conviction.

ARKANSAS RIVER
 DREDGES READY
Working of Removing Sand Bars Near Pine Bluff
 Begins Soon.

Little Rock, May 22.-Within six weeks now the powerful sand dredges which the government is building for work in the Arkansas river, will be ready to start toward their field of labor, and cities along the river will now begin arranging for celebrations. These dredges are immense barges with pumps arranged on them i'll such a manner that the sand is suck ed from the bed of the river and carried through a large steel tube to the bank or to one side, of tho channel. It takes the barge but a short time to eat it's way through an ordinary sand bar, leaving a twenty foot channel for boats to pass through. It is probable that the boats will work their way up the river. doing considerable work be- tween Little Rock and Pine Bluff. This will open navigation between Little Rock and the Mississippi river and already company is being formed for the purchase of a boat to make Little Rock it's port. The Grand remains in Little Rock during the summer months to care for the cACuIolCu lIduc, Uul uul HIS luC ldli and winter it makes regular trips on the Mississippi.
 These barges which cost $250,000 each. will operate between the mouth of the river and Ozark, but it is probable they will be ordered to clear the river to Fort Smith, and possibly to Muskogee later. It is claimed by the government engi- aeers that there is sufficient water in the Arkansas river at all times to operate boats, but commerce is interfered with by the sand bars. They claim that once these barges have opened the channel in low water there will he no difficulty in operat- ing beats from Fort Smith to the Mississippi. If this can be accom- plished it will mean much for the coal interests along the Arkansas river. from Dardanelle to Fort Smith.
 There has been heavy buying of coal lands in Logan and Franklin county during the past year, the purchasers no doubt expecting river transportation soon.

stages was never below one thousand miners inches, the unit of measure ment which has been used. But since the fire, the records show that the minimum flow has fallen 10 about 25O miners inches and 1t IS now necessary for the company which furnishes water, light, and power to expend considerable amount Of money each year in developing pow CT from steam and to use a consld- erable part of this power in pump ing water. Records of the weather bureau at Wallace show that the pre- cipitAtion for the years since the ire has been about normal for the re- zion. This seems to demonstrate to the townspeople that the unevenness in the flow must be due to the de- struction of the forest cover of the watershed and not to any change in climate or precipitation.
 In view of the situation, the forest service has undertaken to rerorest the denuded watershed. Some plant ing has already been done and event. ually all of the watershed which IS included within national forest boundaries is to be reforested. The people of Wallace are taking con siderable interest in the work and express themselves as thoroughly in sympathy with the effort that the service is making. The experts of the department, however, point out that the planting will probably have no immediate effect, yet it should in- fluence run-off as soon as forest con- ditions are restored, and re-establish eventually a more stable streamfloW. In the mean time the forest officers are taking measurements of tho stream in connection with the records

 UPHOLD D. WILSON Let Intervention Take Form of Christian Instruction,

 Dr. Lyon.
BREAK INTO HEAVEN

Kansas City, Mo-, May 21.-Declar- ing that delegations of discontent- ed people will keep on coming to the churches to disturb worship until aft CT awhile they will be arrested by the message they hear instead of by the police," Rev. J, s. Lyons of Louis ville, Ky, in the moderator's ser mon before the Southern Presbyter- ian general assembly here today, made a strong Slea for higher vls- ion. He spoke from the text, "W/ere there is no vision the people per ish." ..-.
 of the church." he said, lis equal to the opportunity of today those who make malicious assaults upon it will find themselves breaking into the kingdom of heaven"
 MT. Lyons said that the church can well afford to invest every ener- gy in mighty campaign for an ef- fective evangelistic forward move ment.
 The Vision Today.
 What is the vision today?" he said. "As we turn to the world to- day we see the same dark shadows
 hich appeared in all the prophetic visions of the past. Moreover, we see the world growing more and more weary of it's problem, with many hopeful evidences that it is coming to realize that the problem requires for it's solution more than the e1e- ments of education and culture and moral influence. Philosophers, states. men, scientific commissions, social bettermen enterprises are pathet1cal- ly trying to unravel the mystery oT human misery and sin, and every tary environment to folk u<Eces IS proposed as cure"
 The church, he declared, has long proclaimed that it has the remedy for all the ills of life and the world is turning to the church with a new willingness to know what the remedy is.
 Men and brethren" said Dr. Ly- ons, "bear with me while 1 voice the conviction:
 That the Christians of the apos- tolic age who swept through the world with the blood of Christ and the fire Of the Holy Ghost had an ex- perience and an equipment which is solely lacking in the. church today.
 Getting Back to Early Church.
 That an ever-increasing multitude of our membership is studying anew the chart of the Holy Scriptures with the purpose of getting back to the simplicity and power of the early church.
 That their hearts are stirring and burning with them, so that they hast en the coming again of the days of the Son of Man upon earth.'

himself and learned from well informed
dealers and growers. He estimates the
1914 yield as low as 100000 bales, as
against l5l 900 last season.
1t was found that bottom lands, that
up to three weeks gave every appear
ance of producing 2000 pounds to the
acre, will yield only from 1900 to 1400
pounds. This tremendous sarinkage is
due to the continued dry weather. 1t is
said if no rain falls between now and
the time of picking this estimate may
be reduced still more.
Cables received yesterday brought
the news that practically no hops will
be imported into England from Ger
many, and this deficit will have to be
made up from America. The English
market is advancing, and as it is re-
garded as doubtful that the Continental
crop will be harvested, New York
dealers anticipate that New York IS crop
will sell at 80 cents pound.
All this mas a very bullish effect on
Oregon hops, and yesterday both for
eign and domestic dealers were offer
ing 10 cents freely for the Oregon crop.
However, growers were not disposed to
sell, seeming to prefer to wait until af-
ter the harvest, when they expect Ore
gon hops will be in great demand.

Washington, Aug. Congressional
leaders conferred today with Secretary

1t was expected that a war tax bill
will be presented to the house next

all other business. It's passage by the
senate within a month was predicted.

bales Of Yakima hops, 1913 crop, at -
cents was reported. Besides there were
contracts made on $4,000 pounds of
Yakima hops at the same prices. Both
deals were made by the firm of McNeff
Bros, the sale being made by the Mckee
company, of North Yakima, and the
contracts were executed with Moses

Tne market yesterday was thought to
be advancing, and it was predicted that

Orders are said to be coming in from
the East, and the continued dry weather
in the Oregon and Washington hop dis
tricts is curtailing the output.
1t is stated that it is now almost too
late for rain to help the hop crop. Pick
ing will commence in some districts iii
another week. The extremely dry sea
