Too Much Charity
Says Berry Grower

While so much has been done for
charity in Salem and vicinity, now
comes the complaint there has been too
much charity as it was difficult to find
pickers for the berry crop. A prom
inent grower said he knew of several
families who had been the object of
charity during the winter yet when
there was great demand for logan
berry piekers, they nor their children
could be induced to work Many
growers lost by the scarcity of picBers
and Aspinwall Bros. at no time had
more than half the necessary force.
The same authority said that of 26
women and children picking on his
tract, the average paid was $1.25 day
and many children not over the age of
ten years made 81 a day. He felt that
many families would not go into the
berry fields simply because they felt
assured that in case of need during the
winter. the charitable people of this
community would properly care for
them

EOREST FIRE BURNING
BEYOND FALLS CITY
200 Men Fighting Blaze
Which Has Already Done
Damage Of 100000

Forest fires are reported to be do
ing great damage in the mountains be-
yond Falls City, in the neighbhood of
the Spaulding Black Rock camp.
According to reports of those com
ing from the fire this morning, the
greatest damage has been at the camp
of the Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany, with headquarters at Dallas. The
fire seems to have started near their
camp Sunday burning the entire camp
including three railroad trestles, six
donkey engines, a road scraper and
other camp equipment. Their loss is
estimated at 100000. Already more
than 200 men are fighting the fire.
Towards the Spaulding Black Rock
camp, across the Little Luckiamute,
the fire that has been spreading that
direction was this afternoon fairly un.
der control with a fighting force az
100 men from the Spaulding camps.
Much will depend on the wind as to
whether the fire reaches the Black
Rock Camp.
The fire was visible from many
points in Salem last evening as the air
line distance is about 20 miles. Forest
fires are also raging in the Sheridan
Lumber company district, across the
mountains.

Coal Strikes Due To
Germans and !. W. W.
Says Illinois Official

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-That I.
w. W. agitators and German influences
are responsible for the spreading strike
of Illinois coal miners was the charge
made by high state official today.
The official declared these influe ,oes

tional pay for the nirers gave the
necessary impetus to the movement
started by the agitators and resulted
in the strike of the drivers, which
forced out the miners.
President Frank Harrington, of the
Illinois miners absolutely refused today
to disclose either the number of men
out or the number of mines affected.
According to reliable information,
however, approximately twenty mines
of the state, employing 10000 miners,
are idle.
Among mines which were forced to
close down today because of the strike
of the drivers are two at Pana. The
miners officials have ordered the driv-
ers back to work on the grounds that
the strike is violation of their
agreement with the operators. The
agitators, however, have done their
work well, the officials say, and the
men refuse to return.
While there is penalty attached to
violation of the agreement, there is
absolutely no way to enforce it. At
tempts to do so would result in a gen.

THRILLING BATTLE
BETWEEN AIRSH|PS
One British Aviator Attacks
Eight German Machines,
Wrecks One

London, Aug. 1.-two German ma
cchines-a Gotha and seaplane-were
brought down in series of thrilling
battles in the air at heights ranging
from 1000 to $4,000 feet over the North
sea, following the Teutonic raid on
South End and other coast resorts Sun.
day.
Reports of the air fights, which be-
came public today, with the admiralty
announcement of German losses, reveal
ed some of the most daring flying done
by the home defense airmen in months.
Numerous naval machines engaged
the Germans over the sea without re-
suits. The pilot who destroyed the
Gotha first pursued an enemy aero
plane $4,000 feet up off the fore lands
| of the Kentish coast. He kept hot af-
ter the enemy machine, firing as he
flew but lost it off Zeebrugge. Heading
back toward England from across the
channel, the British aviator then made
for South End again. Climbing high
he observed eight Gothas with four
British planes pursuing them. The Go
thas were 1000 feet above the British
and the lone flyer climbed steadily un-
til he was at height of $4,000 feet.
There he attacked the eight Germans
alone, chasing them for thirty miles
While in pursuit Of this flock Of Co.

There was a sharn fight. The Ger

struck and the British airman could see

threw the German a lifebelt as he
swept over him, close to the water and

GIVES EAR
!. TO PORTLAND DEALERS
Refuses To Declare Closed
Season For Game, In Order
to Prevent Fires

Because he deemed it time enough to
close the hunting season after forest
fires were started, Governor Witty
combe this morning refused to postpone
or close the hunting season, which opens
On August Is and extends until October
is, at the request of State Forester Ell
lott, who said the forest fire danger
was the greatest since 1902. He also
said it was too late to close it now be-
cause so many hunters were already in
the field, and a closing proclamation
would not reach them.
AT the meeting of the State Forestry
Board in Portland Friday, the matter
of closing the season v-me up on ac-
count of the extreme dryness of the
timber, and the danger from hunters in
setting fire tc it and destroying large
quantities now that it is especially val
liable. President Mcfarland, of the
Oregon Sportemen IS league, and its sec
retary, S. G. Bartrum, of Roseburg, were
both in favor of postponing the season
until the first rains came, or if none
came to close it entirely.
Sportsmen Asked It.
Present at the meeting were Mr..
Honeyman Of the Honeyman Hardware
company, dealers in sporting goods; a
representative of the sporting goods de-
partment of the Meier and Frank de-
partment store; and representative of
another sporting goods house. These
men opposed the closing of the season
on account of the gods they had to
sell to the hunters.
Last week Forester Elliott took the
matter up with the governor to find out
if the. season could be closed by the
state fish and game commission, but
Commissioner Shoemaker did not think
they could except when there was dan
ger of game extinction. However, the
forest-fire law says that the governor
on "showing of the state forester that
by reason Of extreme drought the use
of firearms OF fire by hunters is liable
to cause forest fires, he may, by proc
lamation, suspend the open season and
make it a closed season for the shoot
ing Of wild birds and animals of any
kind for such time as he may desig-
nate, and during the time so designated
all provisions of law relating to clos
ed seasons for game shall be in force. "
The Danger is Great.
At that time the governor promised
to look into the matter and see what
could be done, and then tell the for
eser what he would do. But the gov
ernor did not say word to the for
ester, who says he lcsted easy on the
assumption that the governor would act
before the open season began. This
morning he asked the governor about
the matter aud the governor said it was
too late.
Forester Elliott states the following
reasons why the season should be closed
at least until the first rain comes:
That the fire season is the worst at
this time since 1902; that the logging
camps now are seriously handicapped by
serious labor shortage, and that a
number of camps have closed down to
fight the fires now raging; and that
every fire patrol association in the
state is taxed to the limit and cannot
