AID OF ALL ASKED TO SHIELD TIMBER Western Forestry and Conser vation Association Urges ' Action to Stop Fires. RAILROAD'S HELP POTENT Co-operation J Regarded a Only Mean to SaTe Foreata Troops Sought to Stand Guard. Two-Daj Conference Ends. Resolutions nra-lns; co-operation by Fsderal and stats rortrcnunU and local forestry and conservation asso ciations for the conservation of the for rata of the Pacific Coast and Paclflo Northwest states through proper and adequate means of prsTentlon of forest Ores, were adopted Just before final ad journment, yesterday, of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association. The adoption of these resolutions ter minated a two days' session marked by Intensely Interesting- discussions on the subject of conservation. Of particular Interest yesterday was the address by Oeorg-e 8. Long-, of Ta coma. president of the Washington Forest Fire Association, who discussed public and private co-operation as the only direct and effective means of com batting' forest Area and conserving- the for at wealth of the West. "The entire Pacific Northwest ' has very causa for felicitation aa a result of tha earnest, hearty co-operation by the Government state, forest era asso ciations and railroads in safeguarding timber resources by providing protec tion from forest fires, said Mr. Long-. "Although Impractical In the first les sons of lumbering. Otfford Plnchot, criticised by many, has done consider able toward making posatbla tangible results from our present policy of con servation. Tlsatev Esesck far Oeatarr. "West of -tha Rocky Mountains we have a priceless treasure. In that area there are 100.000.000.000 feet of timber, amounting to 60 per cant of the total standing timber In the United States, This will be sufficient to supply all de mands for the neat 100 years at the present rats of cutting. Fully (0 per cant of the revenue from this resourca remains In the several states for labor In cost of manufacturing and market ing the product." Taking up tha subject of reforesta tion, which Mr. Long declared was equaled In Importance only by tha need for applying every preventive measure against loss from forest Urea, the speaker declared that T5 per cent of tha area west of tha Rocky Mountains was suited for nothing better than for growing other forests. In this connection IX L. McKay. 'of Portland, who has large timber Inter ests In Crook County, recounted per sonal experiences and severely cen lured Eastern men. owning timber in this state, for their Indifference and lack of co-operation with the proper authorities In guarding against Cres In timber. George 1L Cornwall, of this city, sec retary of tha association, read a com prehensive paper emphasising the need for education of the publlo to the Im portance of tha lumber Industry as the primary essential towards cultivating their interest and support of legislation essential to the further conservation and protection of this Industry. Aid af Tralaaaesi Asked. Ha urged tha co-operation not only of tha members of tha boards of direc tors of the railroad systems, but of tha members of tha train crews, especially tha engineers and firemen should be enlisted In tha warfare against forest Area Ha suggested that station agsnts on all lines of railroads should be mada deputy lira wardens to whom members of train craws should report every lira discovered along their route. "In this campaign of education, tha country store." said Cornwall, "should be mada the distributing agencyof lit trature relating to the lumber Industry and Its great Importance to tha state. These ara tha places for distributing literature preaching tha gospel of for est are salvation. Tha worth of tha Industry will be realised and appre ciated when tha people learn that SO per cent of tha proceeds of the manu factured products from lumber remain In tha state In payment for labor." Mr. Cornwall argued that tha grow ing of timber naturally waa a slate and Government function, and that tha work of reforestation properly should be conducted under that authority. Ha maintained that If by co-operation for est Area can be suppressed, nature In a large measure will, unaided, solve the problem of reforestation In tha West, where tha soil and cltmatlo con ditions are so admirably adapted to tha reproduction of tha forest growth. Mr. Cornwall deplored tha fact that al though lumber la tha fourth Industry In Importance In the United States, It Is continually assailed on all sides as "glgantlo trust an Indictment that Is entirely without foundation of tact," Edaeatlaa af Patella t'rged. "Irrespective of Its ownership, tim ber la a collective asset belonging to tha people," concluded Mr. Cornwall. "Wa must Initiate and prosecute aa aggressive campaign of education that the general pubilo may become batter acquainted with the lumber Industry, what It means to them and their state. In this way only can wa expect to In terest them and enlist their support In our co-operative efforts to conserve this great Industry- In this connection I desire to commend especially the pub licity work that already has been dona by E. T. Allen, forester for this asso ciation." Professor C H. Fhattuck. forestry In structor In tha University of Idaho, told of experiments In reforestation being conducted In the Idaho Institu tion. In the last two years 12.000 trees, representing 104 species, have been planted, and Professor Ehattuck an nounced that In another year or two tha practical results of tha experiment wonld be available. Tha purpose of the Investigations Is to determine what trees ara best suited for growing In that state, gcraaarar Fisei mtloa Needed. Discussing tha subject of legislation, C 8. Chapman, of tha Oregon Forest Fire Association, urged the need for mora vigorous enforcement of tha Ore laws. Ha suggested the employment by tha state of trained and experienced prosecutors to assist tha District At torneys la prosecuting violators. Tha morning session was devoted largely to a discussion of tha best methods of fighting forest Urea. Following this discussion, a commit tee consisting of C. A. VanDlssell. of Spokane; Everett G. Grta-a-a, Tacoma. 'and George M. Cornwall, of Portland, was appointed with Instructions to con fer with the proper Government au thorities with a view of having Federal troops stationed In tha National forests during tha fire season as an auxiliary force for fighting forest Urea Before adjournment resolutions were adopted expressing appreciation of tha work of the Federal Forest ire eerv Ice, Inviting Federal, stats and private co-operation In protecting forests from fires, and urging each forested county to contribute Its share of tha expense of fire patrol and fire fighting.

A legal battle which haa held up tha proposed extension of Oak street, from West Park to Burnslde, for mora than three yeara was decided In favor of the city yesterday by Judge Oantenbeln. Warrants for the damages will be Is sued Immediately, and benefits will ba assessed at once. Tha street will ba opened soon. Fight over tha street began October 14. 1101, whan tha proposed extension was authorised, and viewers asssssed damagaa and benefits. John Clark, ona of tha property owners, protested against tha extension, and a nsw set of viewers was appointed. They failed to reach an agreement and were replaced by ethers. Mr. Clark then brot ght suit against tha city, and tha caaa has been before tha courts since. Tha city was repre sented by Deputy City Attorney Tom llnson. Recently the assessments against all tha property owners except ing Mr. Clark were paid, and tha In junction suit was the only hindrance to tha commencement of work on tha ex tension of the street. The assessment grants Mr. Clark 150,000 damages, because tha extension cuts throuKh tha center of his property. An assessment of I70U0 la made against him because of tha benefit resulting from a portion of his ground being given frontage on the new street. Attorney Tomllnson believes Mr. Clark will appeal the case. That pro cedure, he says, will not hinder the extension work being rushed to com pletion.

COAST PROVES ACT'S MERIT Cecil Jeffrey, of Perth, Declare Trip of Iaada Makee Them Amhi tlone After Getting Better Impression of Tankeea. If any ona of the party of young Australians In Portland ever doubted the wisdom of the Aslatlo Exclusion Act, passed In Australia 11 years ago, his visit to the Paclflo Coast haa con vinced him that tha Australian policy Is tha only one, said Cecil Jeffrey, a leading business man of Perth, West Australia, who has allowed his business Interests to lapse temporarily while ha travels over tha world with the Austra lian boya "Mora and mora now are we deter mined to keep Australia 'all white,' " said Mr. Jeffrey. "Japanese and Chinese shall not enter there. Borne of us doubted the wisdom of th's policy, but Portland and San Francisco have fur nished us tha object lesson we needed. "In San Francisco wa found every Oriental prosperous; wa found white men and women starving because they bad no work. The Oriental standard of oomforl Is lower, as Mills said, and bo Is willing to work for less. "Could there be any mora flagrant example to tha world than your mesal liances? Wa think not. In fact, wa shudder when we think not so much of tha alliance as of any possible ch'ldren born. , "Wo have come to the United States to learn. We have learned of the num. ber of ways In which you can teaoh us, but wo think we can also teach you." Mr. Jeffrey said that It waa only In Oregon that the Antipodean visitors realised the possibilities of their soil. Saved from trusts and monopolies by Government ownership,- he said, they had come to know their Industrial pos si bill Lies. Jeffrey TeUa of Dream. "Wa have a dream." ha declared. "Wa dream of an Australia now of 800,000,. 000 people, of a nation that la white. self-contained and aeii-reuant. wa dream of another United' States with out the negro problem; of another Eu rope without Its varying nations ana religions; of another Canada without Ita Inhosultable climate, and of another South Africa without Its turbulent states. "Australia's hops la that together tno United States and Australia shall con trol the Pacific Ooean. We have to loon the Japanese problem fairly In tha face." he asserted. "The Japs will eith er ba masters or servants. Wa believe they must be servanta. "Eleven years ago Australia woke up to find that the Orientals controlled four great Industries. Tha Japanese had absolute oontrol of pearl-flshlng. in the, hands of the Chinese was cabi net and furniture-making, vegetable raising and laundry work. Industries Hay Be Saved. "These Industries may ba recovered. Tha fight will ba a hard ona, but wa expect to win." said the militant Aus tralian. Mr. Jeffrey said ha was most unfa vorably impressed here with the oppo sition being shown by the labor organ isations to the expansion of the mili tary forces. "That Is where wa differ," said he. Xur government Is a labor govern ment yet It supports the military forces. The action of your labor bodies here Is narrow-minded In the extreme. They fear that soldiers may he used to quell them. Australians have pre cisely tha same fear but that does not cause them to oppose a programme that may save their country from invasion." Mr. Jeffrey said that the tour had already proved the finest thing in tha world for tha boys, who vary In ago from 11 to 11 years. "When wa started. ha said, "people told us wa would unsettle the lads, give them the spirit of the wander lust; but wa ara finding tha reverse to bo the case. Tha boys ara now all anxious to go home, they have seen their possibilities and Instead of work ing In offices they wsnt to 'do things.' Boya Are Impressed. "Wa have been engaged In finding out which of our boys would be most Impressed and we have found out Tha highest point of woman's happiness is reached only through motherhood, in the clasping of her child within her arms. Yet- the mother-to-be is often fearful of nature's ordeal and Bh-Hnlrw from the suffering Incident to its con summation.

It is intended to prepare the system for the cri els, and thus relieve, in great part, the Buffering through which the mother usually passes.

"Ton send your prize sheep abroad, you exhibit your price apples, why not your boysT" ha continued. "Wa think these fellows ara an advertisement for Australia. They will go back with a message. At home their only Impres sion of an American has been of a soul less, dollar - chasing Individual. They know now at any rate on tha Paclflo Coast that there la very little differ ence between the two nationalities. The boys of today are the men of tomorrow. The viewpoints our fellows have learned here will spread over all Australia." Mr. Jeffrey said that English, Irish and Scotch settlers desired to retain their nationalities, "We do not quarrel with that sentiment,' he declared. "In fact, we agree with It but we do quar rel with them when they expect their children, native-born Australians, to keep up tuelr racial characteristics. They are Australians and Australia should ba their country. My parents were Scotch, but Scotland means noth ing to me. Australia la my country." LINE EXTENSION SOUGHT South Mount Tabor Residents Point Xeed of Better Service. Property owners and residents of South Mount Tabor have decided to take steps to secure a streetcar line extension. Dr. Hamilton Meade pre sided at a meeting of those Interested, and outlined what he considered tha beet course to pursue, and pointed out the great need of car service for that growing district. He showed that an extension will increaae the value of the property, and thought owners of prop erty should unite In the movement. It was decided to confer with offi cials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company on the matter of ex, tending tha Hawthorne line, which now ends at East Sixtieth and Division streets, it being the sentiment of tha meeting that an extension of the Haw thorne line will be better for the whole community than the Waverly-Rlchmond line. A committee was appointed to Interview the property owners to ascer tain what asalstanoe they -will give to tha movement. It was the opinion of the moetlng that the owners of tha large tracts east of East Klffhty-second street, the present city limits, are In tcrested and will give substantial assists nee. The route for the extension and the distance to be built were left for future consideration, but It Is desired to get tha carllna built to East Eighty-second street If It can be done, and owners of tha property Interested will give tha assistance needod. It waa decided to hold another meeting December 18 to hear reports from the committees..

In selecting a site for a home there are two important considerations that must be taken into account. One is to choose a desirable place to live, and the other is to make a good investment. So in selecting a home-site, don't overlook the investment feature, because it is of vital importance. Money is to be made" in buying real estate in nearly any section of Port land but the problem of the intelligent buyer of a home-site is to select that dis trict which is most desirable to live in. and which will yield the largest returns on the investment. It is vitally essential to build your home where there are permanent improvements, where a proper building restriction is maintained and where other desirable people have located and will continue to locate. Laurelhurst meets all of these requirements. More than 200 people have already built homes in Laurelhurst and not a day passes that some one does not decide to establish a permanent home in that beautiful property. There are many reasons why Laurelhurst is building up faster than every other high-grade residence park in Portland. One of these reasons is that we help people to build homes there.
