Eien To Reopen. Joseph. July 1. Ed Eben, one of the members of the Joseph Mercan tile company, whose stock or goods was recently destroyed by fire, has gone to Portland to buy a new stock of goods. He will open for himself. Frank E. Watkins, manager of the Multnomah Club track team, which will take part In the A. A. U. meet at the Seattle Exposition next month, has unearthed a fine in A. B. Cona way, a former Wisconsin athlete, who is just now practicing at Enter prise, Or. say.s the Oregonlan. He has written to express his readiness to don the club's colors. Conaway has been out of college only a year, but bos kept himself in such good physical trim in the meantime that he could enter a meet with very lit tle training. In build, Conaway is a strapping young Hercules. He stands 6 feet 5 inches in height and strips at 230 pounds. He took second In the shot put and third in the hammer-throw in the big Western conference meet at Chicago in 1907, and he holds the shot-put record of the Iowa Intercol legiate association, besides the ham mer and shot-put records of the Mis souri Atlantic association" Watkins Is confident that Conavay can do his, part toward taking care of the weight events at the meet with full credit to the club, even in case Ralph Rose, Flanagan, Sheridr.n and McGrath are among his competl ors. In addition to his ability as a track athlete, Conaway U also a strong football player. On Ms college team he held down one of the guards posi tions for several years. As he likes the game and has written to WatSins that he would li- to meet some of the club's f00r.5r.ll men and have-a look at their linaup. it is probable he will be seen on the field in the coming season. The foregoing article gives Mr. Conayay as an alumnus of Wisconsin which is incorrect. He Is a graduate of Drake University at Des Moines, Iowa, and his height Is 6 feet, 5 inches. Leo Forsythe has arrived home from the East. He attended the Bliss Electrical school in Washington D. C. from September till the close about June 1, and since then had been visiting eastern cities.

State of ficials, associations, and individuals will cooperate with the United States Forest Service tn an attempt to get accurate records of all fire losses i'i Washington and Oregon this sum mer. The Forest Service will com pile a report showing by counties, the area burned over of merchantable tlm'jcr, nan.aiQrhan.able timber, end cut over land; the quantity t.nd value of the timber destroyed, and tho co3t of fighting the flre3. In this way the Federal and State Governments as well as the public will be enabled to obtain at once systematic Informa tion concerning all fire losses In these states. Heretofore, this Information has been only pcrtia ly collected. Tlie Forest Service has secured compre hensive reports from rangers on the. National Forests, but from no othe source. The State Boards of Forea: ry In Oreson and Yashlngtoa hav had reports from their wardens, bu mrjiy regions hai no wardens. The Slate and Government statistics wert In different fsrm and not brougat together. Consequently, althougt those interested in the subject know In a general way that fire entails an enormous, loss, to the community evprj year, they have been unable to bach their arguments for remedial action with any definite proof, District Forester E, T. Allen is re celvlne the active help of the Ore gon conservation Association, the Oregon State Board of Forestry, and the Washington Forest Fire Assocla tlon in organizing the -work. . Tht two latter have revised their repor. forma to bring out the same facts regarding ail fit j. The Oregon Con .nervation Asaocla'ion is canvassln; the state to secure suitable men t act as fire wardens and report or fires in their teriltory and present their names to tie State Board fo appointment, It will also send eacl man a post card reminder every twt weeks, with a return card on whlct he will enter a few main facU abou' the fire. The Washington Fores Fire Association will collect reports from its rangers and from other cor respondents where it has no rangers The Forest 8ervice will furnish frank ed envelopes for mailing: In the re ports, and compile the results. The Washington State Board of Forestry ! has not made any agreement as yet. but will undoubtedly furnish all the aid it can. Every lumbeiman, or any one else who is interested in preventing fores fires, will see the advantage in brl.ig Ing this informatton before the pub ile and can be of great assistance bj reporting flrea la his vicinity. ForinB will be furnished on application ' to the Secretary of the Oregon State Board of Forestry, or, in Washington, to the Washington Forest Fire Asso ciation. Working along the line of securing the greatest results ia protection against fire, with a minimum of ex pendiutre, the Forest Service has de cided to establish on the most advan tageous points of the National Forest In the west a series of lookout sta tions from which news of the break ing out of forest fires can be tele phoned to Fore officials. Since all of these stations will com mand a view of the country for miles around the work of detecting and ex tinguishing fires in their Inclpiency will, by this plan, be greatly expedit ed, with the result that many thous ands of dollars worth of valuable tim ber wiH re saved annually. to mou of the National Foreat states the climate is very dry, ana the rainfall light. Conditions, there fore, are remarkably favorable for the spread of fire and extraordinary diligence is necessary in patrolling dangerous areas. To administer ths vast area Included in the National Forests, approximately I95,000,ouu acres, the government has about 1,100 men in the field. If each man could be used for fire patrol, he would have to, cover approximately 138,000 acres. As a matter of fact, nowever, the volume of business on the Nation al Forests has grown to such propor cent of the force is available, This makes it necessary to spread an average man's service over nearly four times 138,000 acres, decreasing fire protection rar below the point of safety in many cases. in the face of this, however, fire losses on the National Forests are kept at a point where they are tri vial when compared with the damage which wo'sVl be caused were the lands contained In the National For ests unprotected.
