LOGGERS CONGRESS
OF GREAT BENEFIT
State Forester Elliott Tells Of
Meeting and Work Of
Lumbermen

F. A. Elliott, state forester who has
returned from the meeting of the Log
gers Congress and Western Forestry
and Conservation meeting in Portland,
is of the opinion that the conference
has been a great benefit, especially In
bringing together into mutual under
standing the government forest Off
cials and the timbermen. He said there
was greater feeling of cooperation
between these two interests than ever
before. All the meetings were well at
tended, he said, there being about 200
lumDermen and forestry officials pres
ent.
AS far as results go, he believed the
sessions were the best ever held. Com
siderable discussion was brought forth
by the paper by w. b. Greeley on
"The Government and the Timber In
dustry,'' and by the paper on @ Reor-
ganization of Forest INDUSTRIES by
II. ID. Iangille. 1t was brought out in
the discussions that movement is on
foot to get all the forest industries to
affiliate with the American forestry
association. A committee was appointed
to see if this was feasible.
Of interest to the forestry people
was the paper by Weather Forecaster
Beals in which he showed the develop
ment of the weather bureau s efforts
in predicting the east winds when the
fire conditions are bad. He showed
how the fire associations benefited by
this work, which has been developing

this will become more and more impor-
tant in the control of fires.
ii. X. Mcmillan, who spoke on the
" Necessity Of international Co-opera-
tion," is said to be an expert in the
study Of lumber conditions, and he told
OF his work in studying conditions
throughout the world so as to expand
the lumber interests of Canada Instead
of getting orders from foreign coun-
tries and shipping the lumber without
any regard as to how the people were
to use it, he believed it was necessary,
If trade was to be held, to send an ex-
pert along with the shipment to show
how the lumber should be used to get
the best results. He said the lumbermen
needed waking up to the fact that they
need to introduce scientific business
methods in their disposal of their pro-
duct.
Mr.. Elliott said the acroplane patrol
was touched on and discussed, the dis
cussion bringing out that the govern
ment wished the lumbermen and the
forestry department to cooperate in
this work and make it a part of coast
defense.
What danger there was of fires
spreading in the mountains, was con
siderably lesscned by the rain of las:
night and this morning, in the opinion
of the forester.

Your Commercial club has done much
to bring this about. 1t has co.operated

ing farm products. 1t has also helped
secure credit for the grower who need
ed capital until he could realize on his

Fighting at Verdun

London, Oct. 27.-British and German destroyers
clashed in sharp naval engagement in the English chan
mel last night the admiralty announced this afternoon
The German warships attempted raid under of
darkness. Two enemy destroyers sunk.
1t feared that of the British destroyers was lost
the admiralty added, and another was disabled.
"Las night ten enemy destroyers participated in an
attempt to raid the crosschanne transport service said
the admiralty statement
"The empty transport Queen was sunk. The crew of
the transport saved Two of the enemy destroyers
sunk and the rest driven off,
"The British destroyer Flir is missing and it is feared
is lost The destroyer Nubian disabled and forced
aground"
The naval fight last night is the first engagement of
the war in the English channel excepting submarine
activities and the first serious clash between British and
German warshps since the great battle off Jutland
May 81 1916.
German destroyers and fast cruisers have made sew
eral daring raids in British waters, approaching
enough to lombard coast towns and dartng back
to port at the approach of British warshps Teuton
destroyers also have raded English shipping off the
Flanders coast, taking ships into Zeebrugge.
The destroyer F1rt of the older British
destroyes. She built in 1897, had displacement of
$50 tons and complement of 62 The Nubian
built in 19O9 displaced 9S5 tons and carried normally II

THE FIRST WITNESS

IUnited Press Leased Wire Servico.J
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-An in
crease Of the nations transportation
facilities would help shatter the high
cost or living, A =. Thom, counsel
for the railroads, told the Newlands
congressional railway investigation
committee today. Appearing as the
first witness against the body which
plans an extensive inquiry into the
relations between the railways and
the public, Thorn argued that the rail
ways now are under a burden which
prevents successful marketing, of
their securities and a consequent lack
Of DEVELOPMENT.
AS for the high cost of living, he
declared:
There has been less than one
thousand miles Of new railroad con-
structed in the United States during
the past year. This is less than any
year since 184S except the period OF
the. civil war and with the cost of
living daily advancing, owing to short
age of supplies. This might be rem
edied by securing access to new
areas of production. Railway facil-
tiles must grow If the commerce Of
the country is to grow and all men Of
affairs recognize that this requires
consta influx of new money"
Railroad regulation he held sis the
result of a spirit Of anger that grew
out of real or fancied abuses in the
past
Thorn contended that the time has
come "for the proper element Of
helpfulness to be introduced into
the system"
Railroad regulation is permanent

said, and the railways realize their
facilities, rather than cost, is pri-
mary public consideration he declar-
ed, pointing to the willingness Of ship
pers last summer to pay almost any
thing" to market their goods when a
railway strike threatened.
Less Suspicion.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Pleas for
more adequate railway facilities, less
suspicion of railroad management and
better credit conditions, were made
by the railways today to the New
lands railway investigating commit
tee.
A. P. Thorn, counsel for the rail-
roads, was slated to bespeak a
broader and more helpful attitude to
the rail lines SO they may spread out,
increase Americas business and bet
ter serve the public.
While the inquiry into the relations
between transportation and the pub
lie proceeded, the Justice department
and railway attorneys tried to reach
an agreement on what case to take
as test Of the constitutionality cf
the Adamson eight hour law.
The NJ. o. and G.. case yesterday,
calling the law unconstitutional, was
held not to be sufficiently typical,
hence the Union Pacific and Santa
Fe cases, slated fors hearing at Kan
sas City today, may be used.
