Support of All Asked. Astoria needs the support of -every patriotic citizen of Oregon In Its ef fort to represent th Interest of the west In this centennial celebration. Th little city by the sea has under- aken a task that her blgaer sL-ters might find difficult to accomplish. In view of this fact th support of every community should be forthcoming. It's an Oregon enterprise and Oregon must of necessity set the standard of de velopmet Just ss Portland projected and engineered to a successful conclu sion the Lewis and Clark Kxposlt'on. which marked the beginning of the commercial activity of the state and Its present widespread development.

It Is aimed a bring out the historical significance of the time by showing what the Oregon Country was in the beginning and what Is great progress hss been. The open harbor at the mouth of th Columbia River affords IS square miles upon which maritime features can bo given unlike anything ever seen on waters of the West. Military maneuvers form another unique plan In hand. Distinguished men from many parts of the Vnlted States will b asked to take part In the cere monies. The Pacific fleet of battleships will grace the harbor- Aeroplane flights and other feats will also be on the pro gramme. Regatta Planned, Too. There will also be th usual Astoria regatta, only on an augumented scale.

Larpe Timber Owners and Real Es tate Men Interested in Small Tracts Alike Prevent Set tlement of Oregon. "What Oregon needs Is not so much the planting or setting out of new trees as the preservation of what forests she now has." This Is the way J. D. Welch, of the Oregon Timber & Realty Com pany, expressed himself on the conser vation question. Mr. Welch said the best way to preserve timber from for est fires was to set fire to the under brush every year or every other year. "This ought to be done In May or early In June." he said, "as the woods are not so dry then, and there Is no danger or setting the trees afire. "There is no reason why we should continue to have disastrous forest fires such as we had last year," he continued. "If the underbrush Is fired every other year they will bo Impossible. "The worst thing the Government forest rangers can do Is to prevent year after year the setting of fires In the timber. When the dead cones and pine and fir needles have accumu lated for eight or 10 years, a match cannot be dropped on the ground with out setting fire to the dried out mass. The flames will shoot 10 feet high, and carry all before them, so that It la not safe for a man to be In the forest. Food for Flames Removed. "I have tried this thing; out In my own timber about eight miles north west of Willamina. During the big fire last year which burned over the Mount Hebo district I sent three wagon loads of men up to my timber to fight the fire. But they didn't have to do any thing, as the fire went out aa soon as It cam to my timber. The only rea son for It was that I had burned my un derbrush out two years before, so that there was no food for the flames. There are plenty of men to take care of the forest reserves If tbey would only take care of them right. Sixty five per cent of the timber land on the west slope of th Caascaoe Mountains, and from there to the ocean, will be come re-forested in spite of all we could do to prevent It. because It Is too rough and mountainous for any othe purpose. All that Is necessary Is to give It a little protection. A word right here as to this matter of re-forestlng. "There are near Willamina upwards of 40,000 acres in township 4 south, range west: township 4 south, range S west, and township 8 south, range west, which do not contain timber, but are In th forest reserve. A consider able part of It la fit for farming, and the rest would make good grazing land. Tet Jhe Government withholds the land fro,m homestead entry. If we want to settle up Oregon we ought to give th settlers a chance, instead of withhold ing the land from entry when It Is fit for farming. Land Should Bo Segregated. "Before President Roosevelt's term expired he was forced to withdraw a large amount of timbered land from entry In order to carry out his con servation policy. Had he not done this, the law passed by Congress making It unlawful for the President to withdraw land from entry without the consent of Congress would have become operative and the land could have been entered upon. "But In withdrawing the timber land. President Roosevelt also withdrew from entry saw large amount of agricultural land. The promise was mad that the forest service would segregate these lands, but It has not been done. A bill was Introduced whereby a citizen could homestead In a forest reserve at any place which was not covered with good, merchantable timber. But an amend ment to this was passed providing that all such land should be looked over and approved by tlr forester In charge of the district. We might as well not have had the law. as the foresters, one and all. simply turn down every appli cation which Is made. The reason given Is that It is not the policy of the Gov ernment to have squatters In the re serve, where they may set fires which will spread and destroy the timber. The result Is none of the land Is being set tled. Single Settler Powerless. "This year 138 applications were mad to settle on land In the I'mpqua forest reserve. Of these applications, only one was honored, and that for only 20 acres. But that Is of no use to the settler, be cause the 20 acres are back In the re serve and there Is no road to them. If the other applications had been granted this settler, with the other 137. might have been able, with their combined ef forts, to have put a road through and to have established a school. A man cannot live back In the forest where there are no roads out and where there are no schools. The cost of grading a road la too great for one man to at tempt. "We have plenty of fine stock land here In Oregon, and much of It can be cleared for from 15 to $10 an acre, readV for the plow. Acres of It are al most ready for the plow now. But the forest rangers' adverse recommenda tions are causing would-be settlers to go to Canada to settle. In th mean time these lands are lying Idle. Settlcmenf Is Prevented. "The trouble with these people who are In favor of Plnchot's policy Is that they don't understand It. They come out and talk to the men whose Jobs depend on the land s remaining In the hands of the Government, If these lands are to be appraised. It should be done by some men chosen by the State of Oregon, not forest rangers, who depend for their Jobs upon the land'a remain ing without settlement. "The large timber owners don't want the forest reserves opened, as that would depress the price of lumber. The real estate men who are cutting up and selling small tracts don't want any ag ricultural lands opened for entry. ,s that would hurt their sales or small tracts. The opposition to entry by these two Interests Is preventing the settlement of Oregon." $3000 In Jewelry Recovered. CINCINNATI. O.. Jan. 38.

Lazarus, architect, who has returned after an absence of nearly a year In Europe, studying how the cities of th Old World handled the planning of sites and streets, said yes terday that he wished that Portland could be brought to realize the su preme opportunity now presented for civic betterment, an opportunity, he believed, that was not likely to recur. "Returning from the Continent.' he said yesterday. "I attended the Town Planning Conference, held under the auspices of the Royal Institute of British Architects In London, October IS a function that John Burns said was one of the most brilliant public functions that h had ever witnessed in the course of his SO years of public life The sessions of the conference were so well attended that overflow meetings were necessary. Germany s exhibit attracted wide attention, for she leads all nations In modern town development on systematic lines. Most of the great towns from Konlgsberg to Ulm being represented. The housing of her working classes In purely ln dustrisl centers attracting much notice. "Further, Uermany has discovered that it pays In money dividends no less than In health and happiness to build cities properly consequently cities strive with one another for the highest possible achievement. "The United States was well repre sented from Chicago snd Washington, IX H. Burnham's exhibit being the stellar attraction of the exhibition. "'Returning to America.

WATER BONDS TO BE SOLD Board Plans to Lay Mains In South Portland and In Sell wood. Both sides of the river In South Port land are to have almost Immediate at tention from the Water Board In the matter of a, water supply. It was first underwood that the bulk of the $500 000 for which water bonds have Just been sold was to go to pay for mains laid at the expense of property owners, but this will not be the case. It 1 the plan of the Water Board to advertise at an early date another large sale of bonds to meet the demands or the department, both for construction purposes and for redeeming the mains laid by private interests. The money to be received for the recent sale of bonds, however, will largely go to pay for th laying of water-main systems in South Portland, for Fulton Park and vicinity on the West Side, and for Sellwood and other places In the southeast section of the city. . . . r ii.wA.th . member Of the Board, said yesterday that this would! be the most active yer of the water department. For the lay ing of the big Bull Run -main an aver age of about 110.000 a day is being spent. "Sloe th nw. law waa passed we Are the last days of our Annual January Clearance Sale. Tues day afternoon will, therefore, be your last opportunity to make an unrestricted selection from our exclusive stocks of Furniture, Carpetings and Drapery Fabrics at prices far below the normal. Scores of very special values will be offered in every department can go ahead much more rapidly with our work," said Mr. Alnsworth, "for we do not have to advertise for contracts and go through the formality of re ceiving bids. As soon as the plans for the mains are prepared we can set men to work on them and hurry them to completion." URGE HORTICULTURE FUND Society Asks Fruitgrowers to Work for $5000 Appropriation. Serkln fr to obtain an appropriation of 15000 for the Oregon State Horticul tural Society, the legislative committee of the association, through its chalrT man. Samuel Adams Robinson, has ap pealed to the fruitgrowers of the state to exert their Influence to obtain favor able consideration of the bill before the Legislature. It Is pointed out In the appeal that In 15 years the society has received only $1000 from the state, its expenses being met by voluntary contributions. The Illinois society, the circular cites, gets $10,000 from the state: Wisconsin. $5000; Iowa $4500, and Minnesota $4000. "The Horticulture Society of Minne sota." continues the circular, "Is about 40 years old, and has proved Its useful ness so well that In 1908 the state, be sides the regular appropriation, gave it $16,000 to buy a test farm and $2000 annually to maintain it, while other funds are provided giving th society $3600 a year for this object."

Brlggs, superintendent of the Llnnton rockpile. and James Anderson, a guard, were made in the District Court yester day afternoon and will be laid before the grand Jury tomorrow. Brlggs waa formerly in charge of the rockpile at Kelly Butte and charges of brutality lodged agalsnt him by pris oners three years ago were largely in strumental in bringing about his trans fer to-the Llnnton quarry. Anderson Is an ex-pollceman who left the force to conduct a saloon. While it Is not recorded that charges of brutality were ever filed against nim, it. is kuou he fractured bones In bis hand by striking a prisoner. ' The complainant against Brlggs and Anderson Is E. J. Riley, a prisoner re leased from the rockpile. He says that Anderson, while Brlggs was looking on, struck and knocked senseless A. law. ler, a prisoner whom Anderson had brought from the city jail to serve a sentence of 90 days.

Lawler. when at the city Jail, was the most refractory prisoner ever held there. He was picked up as a vagrant several weeks ago and refused to give his name. He was released the next morning and. when asking for his property again refused to give his name. When Sergeant Riley attempted to eject him from the station. I-wler struck the of leer in the face. Lawlor was again put la a cell and was sen tenced by Judge Tazwell to serve five days' imprisonment. He made a vicious assault on a policeman in the court room and his sentence was increased to 90 days. Lawler declared that he was an' an archist and that he would not work for any government. On the way to Llnnton, on the streetcar, though hand cuffed between other prisoners, he struck Guard Anderson In the face. Lawler was then beaten into submis sion. At the rockpile he refused to work, but after two days on bread and water he submitted and Is now an ex emplary prisoner, say the guards. Loan Fund Trustees "Grateful.
