FOREST FIRES EASILY WAITED SO FAR rOKTLAND, Aug. 11. (HpoeluU Reports from nil seel Ions of the state tocelvod at tho offices of tho Forest Horvlco, Oregon Forest Flro Associa tion mid Hliite Forester, show a most gratifying condition no far as forest fires ale concerned.

The promptness with which fire hnvo been discovered and steps taken to sup press them, refloi'ls great credit upon tho work of tho Federal (Jovernmont, slnio und private Interest. The period of greatest danger, how ever, still remain. Iish of green timber has mo fur this summer been comparatively small, tho fires, with few exceptions Imlng confined to slashings and old burns. There Is, however, ample opportunity to r verso this good record utiles the ut most euro exorcised. Fire not thoroughly extinguished mid which have caused no trouble during tho cloudy weather, will be come a decided menace with the ad vent of a few hot days. These must ho carefully watched to prevent their starting agnln. Camper In great numbers are In tho mountain. They will prove a source of protection If tho fire laws are strictly observed, but a decided menace If they are thoughtles and ca reless. Ftro protection In the state ha been stimulated by comities taking upon themselves some responsibility In tlm ninttor. Clatsop. Columbia, I juie nnd Hood River counties have each, .it their own expense, put on a man to assist tho State Forester In hi work.

(Spec ial). The article which appeared In a Portland paper, concerning the gal lery card sent by Representative Laf ferty, who formerly practiced law In Oregon City, to Miss Florence Kubel reached here this morning. Lafferty brands It a "gross exaggeration." The statement that Lafferty left for Canada Immediately after the In cident Is absolutely false, he says. He did not go to Canada for four weeks thereafter and had no Intima tion that anyone was going to try to make him trouble over the mat ter until after his return here June 15, the day he obtained the order to clise the Portland bridges. COL ROOSEVELT T EX-PRESIDENT UPHOLDS ALAS KAN POLICIES OF FORMER AIDE. NEWSPAPER ARTICLE IS DENOUNCED People' Interests Must Be Protected Even Though Rich Combina tion Suffer Garfield Is Pra'eed. NKW YORK. Aug. 10. Ex-Prosl-dent Roosevelt has an article, entitled "Alaska Again," In (he current num- her of tho Outlook. After taking Issue with a news paper statement that during the Risisevelt administration the aame course hnd been pursued aa had boon pursued later in connection with Controller Hay. Mr. Roosevelt dis cusses some of the general phases of Alaskan development and adds: "The government must Itself con trol the development of Alaska, and adopt as the guiding principle the Idea of shaping that development In tho Interest prlmnrly of tho -people a a whole, the ayndcate or other de velopng ugcuccs thu recevlng hone fit oi;ly as can be Incident to con ferring It. "I do not think the task la a very I difficult one. if only we, the people, I personally and Ihrough our repreuon-1 tatlve. approach It with this purpose clearly In mind, and if we Insist that j the agents of the government act with mi understanding of the need of the people and a resolute purpose to see those needs accomplished, even though It bo necessary to override the representative of the great In terests who wish to prevent .Alaskan development unless It Is shaped pri marily to benefit those interest." "The article assumed that I was deceived by Messrs. Carfleld and IMnrhot. It Is hardly necessary to say that any such assumption man be made either with intent to bo hum orous or wilh a full knowledge of its falsehood. "I was In a peculiar sense responsi ble for every act of Mr. I'inchot and Mr. (Jarfleld when they held office under me. They represented to a very special degreo the policies and principle which I had especially at heart, and, while of course there are necessarily many actions I took on tlrolr recommendation with the de tulls of which it wag Impossible for me to be acquainted, I was absolutely and entirely cognizant of the princi ples In accordance with which each one of these acts was taken, and each act faithfully represented the putting Into effec of the principle In which I believed and which I had laid down for the guidance of my administra tion. "In every part of the country In which there are forest reserves, It has been found, and It will In the fu ture be found nocesnry to make ellm" Inatlons for town sites, for agricul tural purposes, for manufacturing purposes and the like." WOOL RATE OF 29 PER CENT AGREED ON WASHINGTON. Aug. It. Tho full House and Senate conference com mittee on the wool tariff ievlsion bill today agreed on a flat rate of 29 per cent on raw wool. The commit tee nlso agreed on the House classi fication of wool. The agreement on thi'so two points seemed to remove the groatest obstacles In the way of final agreement, which, it wa9 said, might be reached. As agreed on. the classification provision of the bill reads: "On wool of the sheep, hair of the camel, goat, alpaca and other like animals, nnd on nil wools and hnlr on the 6k I n of such animals, the duty shall lie 29 per cent ad valorem. Tho La Follette bill called for two classes of wool wool and hair on the skin being In a segond class where as the House provision, accepted by the conference provides for but one class for all wools. I'nder the compromise, the second Senate class of wools, fixed in the Senate bill at 10 per cent. Is thus Increased to 29 per cent. These are coarse, or carpet wools. The Senate rate on first-class wools was 35 per cent and the House rate 20 per cent. It was learned that Representative Underwood and Senator La Follette. the subcommittee on conference, had been only 2 1-2 cents apnrt on raw wool. Underwood held out for a duty of 27 1-2 Per cent ad valorem, while La Follette Insisted on 30 per cent. The full committee compromis ed on 29 per cent The free list bill, It wag said, could be agreed on In short order, but there seemnd to be a disposition In the conference to hold It back until an agreement was forced on wool. PRESIDENT TAFT TO WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. (Spec ial). President Taft will- include Coast cities in the itinerary of his proposed Western trip and will be present at the ground breaking cere monies of the Panama Pacific exposi tion at San Francisco, unless some thing unforseen arises. The Presi dent's decision followed the receipt of hundreds of telegrams from var ious commercial organizations of the Pacific Coast DEFENDS PINCiiO Work of Installing Gas Plant in Oregon City j DR. A. L. HEATHS. Dr. A, L. Beatle, owner of the gas franchise in this city, has closed a deal with a large acetylene firm to begin the installation of the plant. Tho work wag started Wednesday, and the first building to be lighted by the new system will bo the new High School. The system Will be Installed in units, and will be extended to all parts of the city as soon as possible. It will probably be necessary to have two generating plants on the hill and two or more In the business section. The flow of gas will be measured by meters, the same as gas made of coal and oil. The calcium carbide light, It Is said, has many advantages over the ordin ary gas light The fumes are harm less and tho light is more brilliant It more nearly resembles sunlight than any other artificial Itlumlnant. About 400 town In Middle Western state are lighted hy this proces. and It ha been found satisractory in an respect.

IS NOT HILL SLAYER Sheriff Mass declared Tuesday that he was convinced Harry Smith.alias Hissge, who was recently arrested for horsestealing at Marshfleld, knew nothing of the HIH tragedy, but he believes that the prisoner is the man who stole three horses from J. H. Smith, of Jennings Lodge on July 10. The horses were recovered. The sheriff also thinks Smith may know something of the killing of eight horses at Sandy several weeks ago. Mr. Mass probably will go to Rose burg, w here Smith Is held, to question him In regard to the stealing of the horses at Jennings Lodge. Sheriff Mass still ha hopes of capt uring the slayer of the Hill family. The sheriff has made a determined effort to find the slayer, and noted detectives In Portland and other cities have congratulated him upon the ability be has shown in his search for the man. Mr. Mass considers it his dut v to make every effort to capture tlie'slayer, if for no other reason than to prevent him from committing other optmoH Tho sheriff ia particular fort unate in that he has an unusually com petent corps of deputies ana cierhs, nnd can leave his office knowing that all buslues will be given prompt at tention.

The Pontiff suffered some pain today, but It was said he was funda mentally In better condition to re sist It Th Pnnp this afternoon In a con versation more prolonged than usual the lust several days, urgea laraiuai Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state to go, as he had planned, to his villa at Monto Mario tomorrow. The cardinal had expected to be ab sent from Rome the remainder of the summer and His Holiness wished hira to take a rest, saying that, as for himself, he felt sure of recovlng from bis sickness. Dr. PetaccI and Professor Marchla fava were at the Pope's bedside more than an hour before making another close examination of the patient. At tention was given to the kidneys, nothing unfavorable In this respect being discovered, except Insignifi cant traces of calculi. The Pope did not get up this morn Ipg, explaining that he felt better in his bed than in the chair which he occupied at times yesterday. The nalna In his knee continued, but were less severe. The swelling, which di minished yesterday, has since re mained stationary. It Is reported that Cardinal Ram nolla. while at EInsiedeln. Switzer land, met a prominent Austrian, wno notified him that Independent of the bulletin issued bv PoDe Plus X forbid ding Catholic powers to veto candi dates for the papacy should a con clave be held, Austria would not op pose the election of Rampolla. Cardinal Rampolla was secretary of state for Pope Leo XIII, and was fre quently mentioned as his successor in the pontificate. It was reported that his candidacy was vetoed by Aus Xrla. In the first year of his reign, Pope Plus X pronouced a prohibition of every kind of intrusion of civil authority or influence In the election of a Pope. The Pope's eldest brother, Angelo. who is living In Northern Italy, to day telegraphed that he was about to start for Rome, but the Pope's sis ters replied that the Pontiff It might be unwise for Aegelo to come to Rome, where the Intense heat might endanger his health. The Pope's sister, Rosa, who has been affected by the warm weather, was better today and this news af forded consolation to the Pontiff, who expressed the hope that he might see her soon.

After discussing a structural steel agree ment for apportioning products throughout the eountry, an arrange ment said to have been discouraged by E. H. Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, and a discussion of trust methods generally, the House Steel Trust Investigating committee today adjourned until October IB.. W. C. Temple, of Pittsburg, who wa chairman of the Steel Plate As sociation, wag the last witness. He told bow J. P. Morgan once re fused a $10, 000,000 option on the Carnegie Steel Company and six months later paid $500,000,000 for that property. Mr. Temple said that before the formation of the United States Steel Corporation, H. C, Frlck had visited J. P. Morgan with an option on the Carnegie Steel Company for $160, 000,000. Morgan said the price was too high, but six months later paid $500,000,000 for the same property. Mr. Temple explained that they were preparing to give a "magnificent play down In Wall street" "Everything was In hand." added Mr. Temple, "the most accomplished actors, the most expensive scenery and most fantastic costomes were ready, but they had to have a Ham let. A magnificent plan had been prepared to make a great plum pud ding, but Carnegie had all the plums." "Did Carnegie Interfere In the bak ing?" the chairman asked. "Oh, no, he merely held onto the plums." This caused a great laugh. "In the place of the crazy Dane," said Representative Littleton, "they had to deal in the play with a very sane Scotchman." PERKINS SUGGESTS TRUST PUBLICITY WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. George W. Perkins, the New York financier, suggested to the House steel corpor ation committee of Inquiry today that a Government commission, which would insure focusing the limelight of publicity on the business affairs of great corporations, would do much to eradicate present day trust evils and preserve their virtues. Following Perkins' suggestion, Representative Littleton of New York announced that a resolution soon would be introduced in Congress pro viding for a thorough Investigation of the industrial situation or the coun try. "I am advised," Littleton said, "that there is to be a thorough In quiry into the commercial ills of the nation and that a conference will be called to determine the problem of how to deal with the industrial situa tion In America. It Is a project that will involve a most drastic investiga tion and bring together capital and labor In an effort, without bias, to find out just what should be done." "That is the best news I have heard," said Perkins. Bartlett asked why, during the panic, the steel corporation officials deemed it necessary to submit the question of Tennessee absorption to the President of the United State "It was simply a matter of ordinary good sense," said Perkins. "Just at that time there was much criticism. of corporations and agitation, and we thought it necessary to get the Presi dent's views as to what we planned to do." "Had the steel corporation consult ed eminent counsel about the legality of this .transaction?" Judge Bartlett continued. "I do not know about that," said Perkins, "but one of our great trou bles then, as It is now, was that we couldn't find any lawyers who could tell us Just what we could do under the law." "And in that emergency," Judge Bartlett suggested, "you sent to the President, who was not a lawyer." "That was not it," Perkins replied. "We sent to him to find out whether. If we used our best judgment, there would be danger of a restraining or der. We were using ordinary horse sense to -do the thing we contemplat ed as near right as we could." GEORGE SPECKLES INJURED Horses Frightens at Automobile and Farmer l Thrown From Buggy. George Speckles, a farmer living about one mile this side of Wilson ville, while driving to Portland Tues day morning, was thrown from nif buggy and sustained a fracture of his left leg. Dr. H. S. Mount was called and the injured man was taken to his home, where the leg was set. . The horses Mr. Speckles were driv ing were young, and were broken on ly a short time ago. The horses frightened at an automobile and Mr. Speckles was thrown against a fence.

General Passenger Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, giving the information that a one and one-third rate will be established for persons desiring to attend the Clackamas County Fair at Canby on September 27. 28, 29 and 30. Five granges are arranging to have exhibits at the fair, and others are expected to emulate the example. There also will be a large number of "community exhib its."
