Snow Stops Whitman Crttihk Heavy snows in the Whitman na tional forest sent two of the men cruising for the local office back from eastern Oregon yesterday. They spent two weeks appraising timber in the Blue .mountains, where the snow was as deep as 18 inches and the temperature remained near zero. Ranchers in the Vicinity are feeding stock a month earlier than usual on account of the extreme cold and there is a possibility that the hay supply will run short before the end of winter, as the summer was a dfy one p.nd the crop none too plentiful. Another of the men from the dis trict office, B. F. Heintzleman. has just come back from the John Day valley, where he cruised and ap praised 2.000.000 feet of yellow pine on the Umatilla forest to be used for local consumption.

Americanization of Foreigners Is Pointed Out as Duty of All on Armistice Day. With a plea to the business men that the leaders of this and every other community in the land lend their efforts toward making Amer icans out of everybody within the bor ders of the United States, Rev. Will iam T. McEIveen of the First Con gregational church addressed the members' forum at the Portland Chamber of Commerce at the regular luncheon and meeting yesterday noon. Dr. McElveen's subject was "The Armistice and Present Day Condi tions." He cited the unrest preva lent throughout the land at this time, spoke of the serious roreign popula tion problem and of the problems of illiteracy and poverty, and urged the citizens, the newspapers, the schools and the churches systematically to devote themselves to a programme of Americanization. There are many sections in the United States, both in the cities and in rural districts, where the Eng lish language newspapers and schools are prevalent, and at the present time, he declared, there are 603 German publications published in this coun try. Without expressing any an tanonism against any foreign lan guage as such, the speaker showed that the universality of one lan guage is necessary in this country to insure unity and upward national development. In discussing the prob lem of foreign residents and illiteracy the speaker pointed out that there were 1,275,982 foreign-born regis trants in the first draft, more than 10 per cent, who could not read the English language. While a celegration of Armistice day by noise and enthusiasm and a programme of parades and speaking was held as fitting, the speaker urged that the thoughtful citizens dedicate the day to a real study of American principles, with the purpose of in stilling these principles into the minds of the foreign elements of Portland. "We have cleaned up one great evil in the worid, the kaiser and German military autocracy," he said In closing. "Let us bend our efforts toward cleaning up the other evils that exist, the evil of poverty, of graft, of revolutionary doctrine. Let us establish, a. spirit of thorough Americanism so that this country will be in fact and in thought the great leading nation of the world." LAND EXCHANGES URGED TRADING OF CUT-OVER TRACTS FOR TIMBER FAVORED. Government's Policy Aids Refor estation and Puts Unsightly. Areas in Hands of U. S. Trading of cut-over private lands for standing timber in government forests is being encouraged by the district forester's office in Portland and many requests for such ex changes are coming in to C. J. Buck, in charge of the department of lands. One of the big factors in favor of this arrangement is that it aids in reforestation and puts strips of prop erty along scenic highways that have been made unsightly through mill activities in the hands of the gov ernment. There are now four forests in this state in which trades are being made in order to co-ordinate ownership of strips of federal timber that are broken up by privately-owned tracts. This is especially true in the Oregon forest, where it is desired that the city watershed at Bull Run be in complete public control. In the Whit man and Deschutes forests also tracts are being consolidated by exchanges and In the Ochoco, east of Prineville, a large number of acres have been cruised and five or six applications from this section now are being con sidered. In central Oregon a move ment is on foot to turn over logged off lands of the big mills, now un sightly clearings, along The Dalles California highway. Such aids to reforestation are ap proved by the government, as they facilitate consolidation of small sec tions for practical logging purposes and get the forest "bad lands" Into productive condition. The Portland office is arranging trades, wherever it has authority to do so and the number of applications for exchanges is steadily Increasing. v $1500 LOOT RECOVERED Trunks Shipped by McArdell and Cole Obtained by Police. Loot valued at $1500 has been re covered from the caches of Dan Mc Ardell and Robert Cole, according to Inspectors Goltz and Howell.

The alleged stolen goods have not been examined closely, but the police believe the articles will be found to have come from some 20 houses which have been robbed within the past few weeks. Five women to wholh Mc Ardell is alleged to have given pres ents of jewelry have turned the gifts over to the police. The inspectors ay the prisoner also bad given arti- Pettis-Grossmayer Go.

SALEM. Or.. Xov. 10. (Special.) As the result ot a compromise-reached between Governor Olcott and Special Agent Christophson of Salt Lake City, D. C. Post, who was arrested recently in Portland charged with kidnaping his own 3-year-old daughter and spir iting her out of the state of Utah, will not be returned there for trial. The little girl, however, will accom pany the Utah officer to Salt Lake, where she will be turned over to her mother. In effecting a compromise during the extradition hearing this afternoon it was agreed by Mr. Post that he would defray the cost of sending an officer to Portland from Salt Lake, as well as the expense attendant to the return of his daughter to her mother. Mr. Post had been employed in the shipyards in Portland for several months and a short time ago returned to Salt Lake. While there he said he discovered that his daughter was not receiving proper treatment and de cided to bring her to Oregon. He was arrested as he stepped from a train in Portland two days later. Mr. Post is now employed In Port land. WOODCRAFT ORDER ELECTS Oregon Circle Names Officers for Coming Year.
