.BLAMES LEGISLATURES FOR
WIDESPREAD forest fires
Commissioner Conklin Says Daily Pa
trolls Have Been Impossible Be-
cause of Failure of Lawmakers to
Provide Sufficient Funds

In a statement regarding the spread
of forest fires, issued yesterday Fores-
try Commissioner Couklin is inclined to
lay the blame for the State not being
at all times ready to combat them, on
the Legislatures which have hereto
fore failed to furnish sufficient money
to provide patrolmen. In his statement
Commissioner Conklin says in part:
'The forest fire law of 1909 pro-
vides a method for daily patrol but
this provision has been completely
nullified since the passage of the law
by the refusal of the Legislature to
appropriate sufficient money to place
men upon daily patrol All danger re-
gions are equipped with forest fire
wardens and assistants, but they can
not go upon daily patrol for want of
money to pay them. The appropriation
which is allowed the department for
this purpose must be skimped out to
the very end, and it takes all of it,
and sometimes more, to pay the wages
of the men who are actually employed
to extinguish fire. The last two Legis-
latures had to be appealed to for de-
ficiency appropriations.
''The department is asking this
year for a. forest fire appropriation of
$3.50, 900. OF course, what is not need
ed will not be expended, but we must
have fund with which to patrol dan
ger points for the prevention of fire if
we are ever to make any great head
way against fire in the woods.
ga comparison of the appropria-
tions which Pennsylvania has made
for this purpose with that made by
other States is instructive at this time.
In Massachusetts apd New York an
annual appropriation of one per cent.
per acre for forested land for protec-
tive purposes was made. At this rate,
the seven and a half million acres of
similar Pennsylvania land would re-
quire $150,000, or $4,000 per year.
Because of adequate protection Massa.
chuBetts was able to limit the average
area of each fire to eleven acres, and
New York to eighteen; but in the case
of Pennsylvania the average mounts
to sos acres per fire"
The connection between forest fires
and the trout season is too significant
to be ignored the commissioner says.
The State has most unwisely refused
to take proper eognizance of one of
the greatest leaks of all, and one that
is rendering large areas of Pennsylva-
MIA barren and desolate, the uncon-
trolled forest fires, the commissioner
adds.

MAY OPEN CEL|LOLOCKS
BY FIRST OF APRIL
PORTLAND WILL JOIN IN THE
CELEBRATION OF GREAT
EVENT.

While the official date for the com
pletion of The Dalles- Cello boat canal
has been set for May l, it was an
nounced that it may possibly be open
for the passage of boats a month ear
lier, or near the first part of April,
says Portland dispatch. 1t was ex-
piained that this will depend largely
upon the weather conditions, which
may be experienced within the next
few weeks, If the character of the
elements should be such as to enable
the work to progress steadily it is be-
lieYed boats will be able to get through
the big ditch in April.
Employs $50 Men.
Captain Theodore H Dillon, corps of
engineers, U. S. A., left for Cello to
inspect the canal A force of about $50
men, all who can be employed to ad-
vantage, are at work on the project.
They are engaged mostly at rlp-rap-
that after about 10000 cubic yards
more Of concrete have been put in,
this part the job will be completed.
The lock gates are up and the tests
given them show they operate to per
lection. So the limited concrete work
rip -rapping and excavation are all
that remain to he done
Big Celebration Planned.
A big celebration in honor of the
completion Of the project will be Civ
en- on the date the canal has been
thrown open for traffic. 1t is expected
to be participated in by commercial
organizations of Portland and of other
cities and towns in the Columbia river
basin. Until it is known definitely
just when the canal will be finished he
date for the celebration can be fixed
The general impression heretofore has
been that it will be held about May l.
Lewiston to the Sea.
On the completion of the big artifi-
cial waterway, steamers probably will
be run through from Portland to Pas
co and KenneWick, on the upper Col
umbia to Lewiston, on the Snake. 1t
is said that one or two new boat lines
may be established.
The canal will be more than eight
miles long and of sufficient depth to
accommodate any river boat that even
operated on the Willamette and Col
umbia rivers. 1t has been under con-
struction for eight years and 1t will
represent a cost of more than $4,000,
600.
Commercial Club to Act
The first suggestion to Portland OF
a formal celebration of the opening OF
the canal was made by Joseph N Teal
who said:
1.-THE fact seems to have been ell
tirelv overlooked or is considered o.
no consequence, that in all human
probability the Cello canal will b'
open for traffic May t. this year Tit
present river and harbor bill carries al
appropriation of $4,000 to complete 1t
While of course this appropriation
should be made, and we all hope l
will be and are proceeding upon tina
assumption, l believe the canal Will b.
far enough along to be used anyway
Mr.. Teal urges that commerce.
bodies in the Columbia river bash
lose no time in appointing committee
70 participate in formal opening.
