Lone Star Beauty Seeks U.S. Title Road, trail and telephone Im provement work has started al ready In the Umpqua National for est. In anticipation of the fire sea son, which la expected to start soon. Crews are out in all parts of the forest, getting the telephone lines nn nnenlnp trails and tm- I proving roads, the service having I' sixty-eight men in the field at the present time. The allotments for maintenance and Imnrnvement work this vear include $5,000 for trail mainten ance, $6,400 for trail betterment. $7,250 for trail construction: $7,- 000 for road maintenance and bet terment, $20,000 for road construc tion, and $2,800 for telephone main tenance, a total of $48,450. It will take a large sum of money to get the trails open this year. The storms experienced during the past year brought down an unpre cedented amount of timber, and in one case tne teiepnone crews were forced to make 52 splices In one mile of wire. These trees must al so be removed from the trails, and as there are several hundred miles of trail to cover, this work will take a great deal of time. Road work Is now occupying the time of a large number of men. On the Trail-Tiller section of the Cra ter Lake cut-off the forest service and county are working coopera tively. The forest service is ex- Dendlng $1,200 in cash, and the county is supplying a tractor, grad er and other road machinery and is also building a bridge, and fur nishing lumber for culverts. One section of this road, about a quar ter of a mile In length, will be re located, so that two fords will be eliminated. The forest service is working above the Tyson turn-off, while between Tiller and the turn off the county is doing the work with the government furnishing the powder. - The forest service Is also work ing on the road to the summit ranger station on the Hamlin ' ranch and on the upper end of the j South Vmpqua road.

Garland, of Lebanon, Benator from Linn county, yesterday received appointment as members of the state fish commission, Deals to succeed F. P. Kendall, of Portland, whose term has expired, and Gar land to succeed John C. Veach of Portland, who has resigned. Governor Pierce appointed Beals and Garland, following a comprom ise agreement after a conference during most of the afternoon with Garland, Beals, Senator B. L. Eddy of Roseburg, and Senator George Joseph, of Portland. Through an agreement entered into during the legislative session last winter Senators Beals. Eddy and Garland were to have the ap pointing of a member of the com' mission upon the expiration of Kendall's term. Garland to name the man in case the three could not agree. It developed that they conld not agree, for the reason mainly that certain Southern Ore gon names proposed by Senator Eddy -were neither satisfactory to the governor or the other two Sen ators. This resulted in the ap pointment of Beals who was anxi ous to have the job. Senator Eddy Is very friendly to Garland and out of consideration for Eddy the gov ernor appointed Garland to suc ceed Veatch. Senator Joseph's feelings In the matter also were considered In the Gnrland appoint- I menu Garland will assume the duties :of commissioner as soon as he re turns from California, where he will go on a pleasure trip for sev eral weeks. He said yesterday that he had not requested the ap pointment and did not come to Salem with the expectation of get ting it. John C. Veatch, whom Garland succeeds, was appointed bv the governor to succeed Dr. Ross of Portland when Pierce ousted Ross on allegations of ex travagance. Veatch has barely served on the board, however, be cause Ross refused to quit until he had been removed by a decl jslon of the court. I Jefferson Myers, former treas urer, was with the governor much of the time yesterday and Is be 'lleved to have advised him rela jtlve to the appointments. Myers was looked upon as a probable ap Ipointee at the time the governor removed Ross. Senntot Garland, who has been appointed to the state fish com mission Is friendly to the commer cial and sporting Interests of southern Oregon, according to Sen ator B. L. Eddy, who returned this morning from Salem after a confer ence with the governor which re sultedtln the new appointments. "My effort" Mr. Eddy says, "have been to see that the Umpqua river, second only !n Importance to the Columbia should have recogni tion on the fish commission.

A petition was presented to the council bearing the names of 150 business and professional men asking for the appointment ot a Commission. Steps have alrea dy been taken to organize an ath letic club in this city, with a view of eventually providing a gymnnsium for general uso. This club (fosires to'arrauge boxing and wrestling mutrhea, and o conduct such events under the supervision of a commission, and to ue the profile for the pur chase of such equipment and paraphanalia as is necessary tor the furnishing of the gymnasium There has been a oVsire for a boxing commission in this city for a numlier of years. The state law providing the procedure for holding boxing and wrestling matches was adopted In 1919, It being provided thut all such con tests must be under the supervi sion of a' commission appointed by municipalities, and placing certain restrictions around tho amounts to be paid various par ties, such as matchmakers, etc., limiting the number of rounds, and providing for the physicul In spection of all contestants. Un der these rules many of the cities of the state hare been regularly conducting boxing matches which have been of much interest to sport fans. An attempt was made In 1920 to secure a commission in Roso burg, but an organist d opposition developed and the proposition even went as far as a special elec tion, In which the commission was defeated by a small margin. Since that time there have been several attempts made to renew the proposition, but there was no organization behind It to take the necessary steps. The new athletic club, however, has caused I the petition to be circulated, and I the usual form of ordinance was drawn up and presented to the council lust night for the first and second readings. The council agreed that In the 'event the ordinance was adopted, I that the commission should be 'composed of at least five men. !and that these five should be I carefully selected by the Mayor and his appolntenients pnssed upon by the council. It was also proposed thut an amendment be included that all profits from such bouts should go to charit lalile Institutions or organizations, lor to some civic organizations or Ipurposv, such as the band, library, etc., but no definite action was taken on this matter. The ordinance will come up for final adoption at the next meeting of the council, to bo held on June 15, and at that time It will be definitely determined whether or not the commission Is to be established.
