Valley to Benefit
( BY Editors Visit

Cooperating with the Oregon Edi-
torial Association the Portland
Chamber OF Commerce is raising
$1,000 to take the National Editor
ial Association party, 300 strong,
from Portland to Crater Lake. This
tour will follow a trip over the Col
umbia highway, and visits to the
most local points. In seeing the
highway and Crater Lake, the editors
will be given an impression OF the
superb and grand scenery which may
be had in few places OF all the world.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce joined in the work to raise
this fund because of the extraordi-
nary publicity that will result from
such a tour. Each of the 900 edit
ors will probably print minimum
OF three stories, each of a column.
descriptive of these scenic charms.
Papers in which these stories will
be printed have an average of 49,
600 or 10000 circulation. Thus may
be expected minimum OF 900 col
umns of written articles and pictures
reaching 100000 or more people.
In three or more stories for each pa.
per. More than this, the editors. Il
given the proper reception and op-
portunity, will in all likelihood
write many more articles during the
coming years Of what they have seen
and what other Americans should
see.
These are the people that the
Rogue River valley is planning on
entertaining August IL and ~. The
three cities of the Valley, Ashland.
Medford and Grants Pass, are also
asked to cooperate with Portland in
helping to make this tour to Crater
Lake the crowning event of the edi-
tors trip to the coast country, and
this will be done by automobile own
ers generously loaning their cars to
take them on this trip, and giving
them q dinner on their return. The
latter event is already provided for
by the capable members of the Civic
Improvement Club, while the balance
Of Ashlands hospitality will rest on
the providing of cars to give these
editors-a trip of which they will talk
and write the rest of their lives, and
in this manner give Ashland a promi-
nence that could be obtained in no
other way.

WILL OFFSET DANGER
OF Al CAR SHORTAGE

Alarmed at the shrinking OF the
average carload, with the conse-
quent waste OF transportation facili-
ties, officials lof the United States
Railroad Administration today
launched a cambaig. to offset the
danger of a car shortage IN the West.
General Manager J. II. Dyer OF the
Southern 'Pacific-Western Pacific
lines, explained the situation as fol-
lows: - N-"
Shippers are relaxing their ef-
forts to preserve the advantages of
the full carload, believing apparent
" that we have a surplus Of cars,
and that the restoration 6f peace
makes heavy carloading unheces-
sary This is an erroneous and
dangerous impression.
"The demands OF peace will equal
If not exceed the necessities Of war.
Much material, stored dhrfng tile
past year or two, Is now being abb
sorbed by markets as fast as 1t can
be moved. We. are moving 100000
tons of barley out of the state. The
fruit crop is one of the heaviest IN
history. We are confronted with
the prospects of an exceptionally
heavy movement of all commodities
this fall. If the wine grapes are TO
be moved east, that will mean ap.
proximately $4,000 cars additional
New equipment has not beer
available during the war. If shippers
are to realize the full use of the
cars that we have, they must con-
tlnue to load ten per cent in excess
of the marked capacity OF cars
wherever possible. Our figures show
that in June over 1000 cars were
wasted due to the fact that there
was falling off in loading OF over
two tons per car on our lines This
means that shippers were deprivine
themselves of the use of those 1000
cars.
II earnestly appeal to all shippers
to resume at once the full carload
which will enable us to move the
war crops, for our peace products
will exceed those of the past few
years, and the world will need them
lust as badly"

LOOK OUT FOR FIRES
=. ~ IN MONTH OF AUGUST

PORTLAND, Aug. S.--Extreme
dryness In all but the immediate
coast country, with fast drying out
of the latter, emphasizes the need
for great care II the fire situation
is to be/held in check during August.
The large number Of fires which
have so far occurred in Northwest
ern states and have been successful.
ly extinguished is tribute to the
alertness of fire protection agencies
but also serve as warning that
August may prove an extremely try
ing month.
Reports received from Northwest
ern states by tile Western Forestry
& Conservation Association show
that during July over 1000 fires oc-
Cured in Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. Some Of these in the for
mer state caused considerable loss
OF green timber A force of over
1900 men is now at work to pre-
vent the starting or spreading of
fires. Favorable weather conditions
the last week of July caused great
improvement in the general situa-
tion. ~
Washington had only $50 fires
during July caused by sparks from
engines and berry pickers. Not over
Y million feet of green timber was
killed but loss of bucked logs and
camp buildings and equipment will
be a considerable item. A force Of
100 wardens employed by the Wash
ington Forest Fire Association is now
on duty
Oregon reports 44OO fires, mostly
small ones originating from light
ming, campers and logging camps.
There has been practically no loss
of green timber but some damage TO
logs and logging equipment. The
full force of patrolmen is now OH
duty composed of SO State and
Weeks Law wardens and 500 ward
ems employed by patrol associations
and individual timber owners.
Idaho had 47O fires during July
caused by railroads, lightning, camp
ers and loggers. Losses cannot be
given at this time as many fires are
burning. A force OF over 1000 men
were fighting fires in July.
Protective agencies thruout the
Northwest took advantage of the cool
weather the last week in July to
put out as many fires as possible ip
anticipation of unfavorable condl-
tions later on. Smoke has rendered
lookouts useless in places and great
lyN reduced their efficiency thruout.
This condition improved somewhat in
July.
The accumulated shortage of pre-.
cipitatlon in many sections together
with the large number of fires still
smouldering in old burns and slash
ings, make it necessary that unus-
ual precaution be taken to avoid dis
astrous August and September fires.

MAYORS MAY CONFER
ON HIGH LIVING COST

A meeting of mayors Of the Pacific
Coast, which may lead to national
meeting of mayors in Washington,
has been tentatively outlines in tel
egrams sent by Mayor Baker to
Coast mayors. Such details as date,
place of meeting and other matters
are left open to the suggestion OF
mayors in the kilograms sent by
Mayor Baker.
The purpose OF the meeting will
be to consider ways and means OF
bringing down the high cost of living
and working out plan for aiding
the federal government in its efforts
to settle this problem.
There Is nothing more vital at
the present moment than this" said
Mayor Baker. Il have studied 1t
thoroughly and believe nothing can
be done save through federal regu-
lations and by natural authority, but
local executives can no doubt supply
data and their cooperation In the
matter. II We hold this meeting, 7
shall then endeayor to interest the
mayors of the county to proffer their
assistance to the president in a
Washington conference"
Mayor Baker is temporary Npresi-
dent of the national association of
mayors of the country, organized

MORE ORDERS NEEDED
FOR GOLD Hill, LIME

The state lime plant at Gold Hill
will be closed down not later than
September Is unless more orders are
placed. This is the announcement
of DR.. A. B. Cordley. secretary, al
tho the board as an organization
has taken no definite action.
The Oregon Agricultural expert
ment station recommends that sew
eral farmers get together and place
a trial order to learn the effects Of
lining the SOIL More than half of
the hundreds of farmers reporting
say that beneficial results have been
obtained thru the use of lime but
only by trials can the value be de-
termined. Lack Of storage capacity
makes 1t necessary that at least 80
tons of ground limestone be sold
from the plant every day.
