THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1910. 3 INTERESTS UNITE TO SAVE FORESTS Railroads, Timbermen and State and County Organ izations Co-operating. EVERY CITIZEN AFFECTED Vanishing .Tonnage and Ixss of Wages Form Impressive Eco nomic Lesson Conditions Demand Keen Vigilance. Realizing that with the burning of every thousand feet of Oregon standing timber there is a. loss of labor amounting to $S. that stum page values decrease $2, and the railroads see the vanishing of tonnage which cannot be replaced for many years, the necessity of adopting safety measures for the prevention of a repetition of the fires of li02 has led to the organization of several co-operative associations. Oregon and Washington in1902 helpless ly watched the gigantic conflagrations which wiped but a large amount of the visible assets of the states, and also re sulted in the destruction of two towns, Springwater, Or., and Brush Prairie, "Wash., more than 20 lives being lost. That fire occurred In a dry season in the mountains, and was only one of the many which raged along the Cascades and ad jacent ranges. It is said by timber cruis ers and millmen from the upper waters of the rivers of the two states that the year 1910 is thus far duplicate of the con ditions which made possible the losses of that season. Co-operation to Be Effected. Anticipating the danger which is sure to exist, an effective system of patrol is be ing placed in operation, the railroads, timber-owners, state and county organiza tions joining with the Forest Service in an endeavor to prevent the occurrence of fires and to control those which may be started. , Many of the large railroads on the Coast have begun clearing their rights of way of all inflammable material for a distance of 100 feet on either side of the center of the track, equipping their engines with spark-arresters, and instructing train crews and employes in fire-fighting. Sparks from railroad engines have proved tho greatest cause of fires, and are fol lowed by donkey-engines, hunters and campers fires, mill smokestacks and lightning. One of the destructive fires of he Coos Bay region was caused by a set tler knocking the ashes from his pipe among the dry leaves and twigs of a log on which he was resting. An effort will be made to keep in touch with slash burnings made by settlers and to warn all persons entering the forests of this state of the necessity of exercising care in handling fire. The forest lands are now plastered with warning signs. Immense Values Involved. In this manner it Is hoped to save the tremendous values which are becoming available with the development of rail roads. Timber sections which at one time sold in Oregon for $500 have recently changed hands for as much as $1 HO, 000. On that basis the prevention of forest fires becomes a matter of stern business. "Oregon is now becoming thickly popu lated, which condition will increase rap idly after this year, said District For ester C 9. Chapman, "and it is possible for a repetition of the fire of Miramichi, Wis., to occur here. "That fire covered an area of 2000 square miles, 1500 lives were lost and property to the value of many millions of dollars was destroyed. The Hinkley fire of 1S94 burned that place and six other towns, with a loss of life amounting to 500, and but for the aid of the locomotive en gineers and other trainmen, it would have been much greater. "The identity of interests has brought the railroads, the timber-owners, the states and the many people who are de pendent upon the lumber industry for em ployment into close union. Oregon has a Forestry Board, but as yet no authority has been conferred upon it to employ pa trolmen. The Government has built sev eral hundred miles of roads and trails, and is maintaining as large a force of guards as it can afford. The public never hears of the losses which are prevented, just as it seldom hears of the railroad wreck which is averted. Fires retard de velopment for years to-come, the commu nity loses the wages which would have been paid out for produce in the region affected, the state loses taxes, and sooner or later the result reaches every citizen." BULLY THREATENS POLICE Man Cliargecl With Beating Wife and Aged Father Draws Gun. ALBANY. Or.. June S. (Special.) Facing two charges for the alleged beating of his wife and his aged father, and -with two more charges in pros pect. George Robinson, of Holley, was brought to Albany last night and placed in the county jail. When arrested by Constable Catlin and officer Daughty, near Holley, yes terday. Robinson drew a revolver and leveled it at Daughty while Catlin was searching him. but naughty knocked it out of his hand before he could fire. This action will result in charges of carrying concealed weapons and resist ing an officer. Besides the revolver, the officers relieved him of two knives. Robinson is accused of brutal mis treatment of his wife and his father, who is S5 years old. They allege that he ruled the house with a high hand, beating them frequently and drawing a gun and threatening to kill them if they did not instantly do his bidding. He boasted that officers would never arrest him and he evidently intended to make his boast good but the officers surprised him and he had no chance to draw the revolver until they started to search him. Robinson will be examined before Judge Swan Wednesday on the charge of assaulting his wife. KLAMATH FALLS BUILDS lMans for Business Houses Give In dication or Busy Summer. KUMATH FA1LS. Or.. June 5. (Special.) That Klamath Falls is on the eve of a building boom is indicated by the number of business structures under consideration for the near fu ture. Klamath Lodge of Oddfellows will butM a three -story temple at Main and Fifth streets. This building is to cover 68 by" 106 feet. The basement wiii be litted -up for a restaurant and the first floor has been leased to Fred Houston, of the Klamath Kommercial Kompanv. Thet second floor is to b cur into 22 rn-msl Tiie third floor wlil con'ain two large , 'lodge 1 halls, which will be rented to other orders and be used by the Oddfellows. "With these will be a banquet hall, anterooms and property rooms. Adjoining this, L. F. Williats, presi dent of the First National Bank, will build a two-story store building with a 52-foot frontage, to take the place now occupied by an old wooden struc ture occupied by Ward & Obenchain, general merchants, which will be re moved to Fifth street. Bids are asked for the Oddfellows Temple, to be opened June 20, and con struction on both buildings is to begin at once. A fire-proof hotel wiil be built at the corner of Third and Alain streets on property owned by Frank Ward. This building is to cost approximately $75, 000, and when' furnished will represent an investment of about $100,000. It will be built by a stock company. Alex Martin, Jr., cashier of tnS Klamath County Bank, and Frank Ward have announced that they are now assured of the sale of sufficient stock to war rant the statement that this hotel will be built this Summer. Richard Melhase is planning a two story brick on the north side of Main, between Third and Fourth streets. He Intends also to build a two or three story brick where the Klamath Kom mercial Kompany store now occupies a wooden structure. ADVENTISTS ARE DIPPED Converted in Washington, They Cross to Oregon to Be Baptized. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 5. (Spe cial.) Not being able to find a 'suitable place for baptizing on the Washington shore of the Columbia River, Elder J. A. Holbrook and Elder L. Johnson, ac companied by 21 converts to the Seventh. Day Adventist religion, passed over on the ferry to the Oregon side, where the converts were immersed in several feet of water this morning. The Western Washington Conference of the Seventh Day Adventits, in session since May 20, closed this morning. An other local conference is to be held in Everett, Wash., August 19 to 29. For foreign mission work about $1000 was raised, and for improvements in the schools of the conference, $700 was given in cash and pledges. On the rolls of the church books are over 1500 names of members in this conference. For this work the Sunday Schools alone in the Pacific Union Conference, raised $2135 during 1909. The following officers of the Western Washington Conference were elected: President. Elder S. W. Nellis, of Meadow Glade, incumbent; vice-president, J. W. Boynton, of Bellingham; conference com mittee. Elder W. W. Sharp, of Seattle; Elder J. A. Holbrook, of Meadow Glade; Elder L. Johnson, of Seattle; Elder A. J. Stone, of Tacoma; Elder J. E. Graham, of Seattle; secretary-treasurer, H. A. Green, of Seattle. DOUBLE TRACK NOW USED Northern Pacific Makes Rapid Prog ress From Chehalis. CHBHALI3, Wash.. June 5. (Special.) With the favorable weather that has pre vailed for several weeks past, the work of double-tracking the Northern Pacific main line througrh this section of the state is progressing rapidly. Some days ago the double track between Chehalis and Centralia was thrown open for use. It is expected to have the con nection between Centralia, and Bucoda completed by Wednesday, when the dou ble track will be used from Chehalis as far north as Tenino, the short mileage between Bucoda and Tenino having been finished up recently. There are at present 17 steam shovels in action on the grading work along the line and between 1700 and 1&00 men are em ployed either on the grading or at track work. By the first of November it is hoped to have the double track completed and in operation from Tenino as far south as Little Falls. Within the past two days the Tacoma Eastern Railway Company has filed 25 right of way condemnation suits for right of way for its proposed line down the Cowlitz from a connection with Its pres ent terminus at Glenavon. Several of the suits are against the same owners as have been made defendants in condemnation suits that have been filed by the Oregon & Washington, which would seem to in dicate that the surveys of the two com panies must nearly parallel each other. DR. H. A. NEWELL BURIED Former Resident of Salem Dies at Home In Hollywood. HOLLYWOOD, Cal.. June 5. (Spe cial.) The Hollywood Presbyterian Church was filled this afternoon with the friends of the late Dr. Hehry A. Newell, whose funeral was held. The services were in charge of Rev. G. E. Patterson, the pastor, and were par ticipated in by Revs. Young. Cleland, Prichard, Wishard, Fisher and J. M. Newell. Each spoke tender tributes of their esteemed brother. For several years prior to going to Hollywood he was the faithful minister of Bethany Church, Los Angeles. His years of service made him widely known and .warmly loved. He came south from Salem, Or., and both he and his wife have many friends in that city. That he was most highly esteemed here was shown at the serv ices today. Dr. Newell was 71 years old and had been in the ministry of the Presby terian Church 45 years. His life was spent in Christian work. Intellectually he was one of the strong men of the church to which he so loyally gave his services. He leaves a widow and one daughter, Mrs. Dr. Cora Tasker. KNOWLEDGE IS ONLY GOOD Rose FestlvaTs Benefit Derived in Intellectual Advancement. Announcing a lecture on "The Rose Festival as a Symbol of Progress," Dr. Davidson Buchanan last night eon tended that the only permanent good which can be derived from Portland's week of carnival will be such intellec tual advancement as may result. The address was delivered before the Peo ple's Forum in Selling-Hirsch Hall. The speaker urged that pursuit of the animal life be abandoned in favor of something worth while, and suggested the advisability of Oregonians bedeck ing themselves with becoming modesty in celebrating the material develop ment and progress which are to be ex ploited in the parades of the coming week. "Ambition brings its own disap pointments." said Mr. Buchanan, "and, while we Portlanders are worshiping our success in securing the dollar, it might be well to retire to Council Crest and meditate upon the ending of all ambition." ; Besides the biggest wine tank in the world, the Italian-Swiss Colony owns eight of the largest vineyards and wineries in California.

DEMOCRATS SEE "PLAGUE" IN1812 With Victory in Fall Elections, Fear Expressed of Prob able Boomerang. REPUBLICANS ARE HAPPY Should Minority' Party Win Con gressional Campaign, All Things "Would Be Helpful In Presidential Year. (Concluded on Paye 3.) rules committee, and whether or not the Reed rules shall be continued in force. Naturally any Democrat elected Speaker will be anxious to enjoy all the power entrusted to ex-Speakers; he will not be content with less and will want not only to name committees, but to be in a position to actually lead his party and have a big say in shaping its legislative programme. "Dems". May Be Embarrassed. When it comes to adopting rules for the guidance of the House, the Demo crats, if in power, will be embarassed. They have no definite idea as to how the present rules should be modified; they have never presented any com prehensive set of rules as a substi tute for those now in force. Previous Democratic Houses, after denouncing Reed and the Reed rules, adopted them as their own, and the presumption is that the next House would do the same thing. If It should, it would lay itself open to censure and to ridicule, for the Democrats have maintained the present rules are abominable and should be abolished, and to readopt them after such criticism would be to confess the clamor had been senseless and without justification, or to confess to inability to improve upon them. In either event, the Democratic party would be injured rather than helped, and the same would be true if a Democratic Speaker should be vested with all the powers enjoyed by Speaker Cannon, either now or be fore he was removed from the rules committee. (But granting the Democrats organize the House, adopt new rules, elect their Speaker and define his powers in accord with the doctrine laid down by Demo cratic orators in the present House; the next step would be legislation. As stated, no partisan Democratic legislation could be written on the statute books, because of the Republican Senate and President. Yet it would not do to remain dormant for two years. Naturally the first thing to demand consideration would be the tariff, for much stress has been laid on the so called iniquities of the Payne-Aldrich law, and the tariff is to be a big issue if not the leading issue in the campaign this year. Could a Democratic House agree upon a tariff bill that would be free from the criticisms heaped upon the Payne- Aldrich law? It is doubtful. Indeed, it is doubtful if a Democratic ways and means committeecould draft a tariff bill that would meet the criticisms the Demo crats themselves have made on the exist ing law. The debate and the votes in the special session showed plainly that the democracy is no more solid on the tariff than is the Republican party, and a very considerable number of the Demo crats are today rank protectionists. Southern democrats must, of necessity, vote for a tariff on tho products of their states, just as they did last session, and they would do so as readily In a Demo cratic House as In one dominated by the Republicans. Xothlng to Be Gained. If they frame and put through the House a tariff bill that proves to be a protection measure they gain nothing in the way of permanent party advantage. Tet no other kind of a tariff bill could be reported by a Democratic ways and means committee, for the bulk of its membership would be made of protec tionists, bound to retain .the duty on cotton, on sugar, on lumber, on coal and on the other leading products of Southern Democratic states. And such a bill would hardly prove much improvement over the Payne-Aldrich law. Its passage through the House would only emphasize the hol- lowness of the Democratic denunciation of the new tariff law passed by a Repub lican Congress and signed by a Republi can President, and would ultimately in jure rather than aid the Democratic caus3. What 'else could a Democratic House do that would strengthen the party in the ensuing campaign? Nothing, unless it should conduct a series of inveetiga tions into the conduct of the CJovernment by the Republicans, in the hope of un earthing scandals, mismanagement, etc., tending to discredit the Administration in power and some of its Republican pre decessors. That seems to be the only opportunity offered the Democrats, if they control the next House. Great Confusion Prevails. All in all, the Democratic leaders ai very much in doubt if this single oppor tunity to make political capital is ample to offset the many things that would be bound to occur to handicap the causa of Democracy in the event of the election of a Democratic House. And the more they ponder, the greater their confu sion. There are today Democrats of fore sight who are hoping the next House will not be Democratic. For while the opportunities for Democratic success are particularly encouraging, the consequ ences are -bound to ba such as to make a victory undesirable from many points of view. On the other hand, there are shrewd Republicans who. foreseeing the embar rassment that will certainly confront a Democratic House, would welcome Democratic victory in November, not alone because it would "smoke out" the Democrats, without danger of foisting Democratic legislation upon the country, but because they believe a Democratic victory this year would tend to curb the Insurgent movement, and in the end eliminate from Congress some of the most violent disturbers elected as Repub licans, but acting since their electioh as full-fledged Democrats, or worse. No Republican Is willing to say for publication that he would . welcome the election of a Democratic House in No- vember, but there are as many such as there are Democrats who. at heart, tope the House will remain Republican for another two years. "Dems" See Little to Gain. As a matter of fact, it is beginning to dawn on the Democratic brethren that they have little to gain and much -to lose through the control of the next House, whereas tar-sighted regular Re publicans feel that their own party would ultimately gain much if the next House should be Democratic. A Democratic House would eliminate Cannon forever; it would show up the lack of justification for the clamor against the House rules, and demonstrate to the country the ridiculousness of most of this outcry; 4t , would eliminate some of the most obnoxious insurgent members now in office, and would force the Demo crats to a show-down on the tariff. All these things would be helpful to the Republicans in the campaign of 1912, and the Democrats know it as well as the Republicans. Hence a marked lack of enthusiasm over the approaching Con gressional campaign. Coos County Names Candidates. MARSriFIELD. Or.. June 5. (Special.)

NAMPA YOUTH IS SUICIDE Walter Richardson, of Reclamation Service, Kills Himself. NAMPA. Idaho, June 5. (Special.) Walter Richardson, 24 years old, commit ted suicide by shooting himself through the head at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 9. D. Richardson, a mile east of this city, yesterday afternoon. No reason is known for the young man's rash act. , A Young Richardson had been employed in the reclamation work near here. Since Saturday he had complained of not feel ing well. Yesterday afternoon he had gone with his sister to pick strawberries, returning about 11 o'clock. He ate his dinner and then went to his room. About 4:30 his mother, who was in the front yard, heard the report of a gun in the house and rushing to her son's 'room found him lying across the bed, dying, with a smoking pistol by his side. Coroner King held an inquest over the body this morning, the jury returning a verdict that death was due- to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. German Singers Visit Chehalis. CHEHALIS, Wash., June 5. (Special.) The Chehalis Liederkranz gave a concert last night at the Glide, assisted by the Tacoma Saengerbund.

Herman, was met at the depot by a local committee and the boys' band of the State Training School. There was a street parade, and the Tacoma visitors, as well as many Germans from near-by neighborhoods, enjoyed the freedom of the city to the fullest extent. r.v I -h - V f l - r i - , - . f , ; Surprising What Kodol Will Do For you, when you need it.

PORTER HIS REAL -NAME Late Author's Life One of Many Vo cations and Adventures, Many of Which Are Said to Have Been Utilized in His Tales. NEW YORK. June 5. William Sidney Porter, known best under his pen name of "O. Henry," as the writer of short stories, died today at Polytechnic Hos pital. He underwent an operation last Friday and never rallied. The nature of his ailment was not made known. Mrs. Porter, who had been in South Carolina, was summoned bv telegraph but did not arrive here until after her husband's death. Mr. Porter was born in Greensboro, V C, 46 years ago and began his journal istic career on the Houston Post. Before that, he had been cowboy, sheep-herder, a druggist and an active traveler. His wide experience in the West and in Cen tral and South America are said to have furnished him with much of his material for his stories. The general public knew little of his private life, for he shunned interviewers and was content to be known merely through his writings, as O. Henry. Paragraphs Gained Notice. His breezy paragraphs, . penned in Texas, first drew attention to the young writer several years ago. Then h launched forth with "Sunday stories" for a New York paper and was quickly rec ognized as a writer of ability. Magazine stories followed and his name was assured. It was only two years ago, however, that any but his closest friends knew his real name. Then he reluctantly consented to have his photograph printed with a brief biographical sketch. Health Poor for Some Time. He had been in poor health for some time but it was not thought his illness was serious. Wednesday, he dined with friends and seemed in his usual spirits. Friday night, he was taken ill and re moved to the hospital. A minor operation was performed but up to within an hour of his death this afternoon it was thought he would re cover. Derangement of both liver and kidneys, however, proved more deep seated than had been thought and he sank rapidly. The burial will be at Ashevllle, N. C.

Dayton's unique 'and bitter war over saloons is not ended, for the "wets" will call for a third election to decide the saloon question in November. In the earning fight, two of Dayton's three newspapers will support the "wet" cause, and the Commercial Club will switch from "dry" to "wet." In the event of a "wet" victory, many of Dayton's Councilmen will resign and another Council must face the question of passing ordinances that will result in "regulated saloons."
