OUR PORTLAND LETTER
rortlaml, Or., July 1 Through the
I'aiirie northwest July lias begun with
almost no lotts by forest fires so far ami
with conditions uusually favorable for
prevention, according to the monthly
bulletin of the Wenern Forestry & Con
starvation issued toluy after the receipt
of reports from practically all ptlvate,
state and federal protective agencies
Slashing fires were numerous in June
but were prevented from entering green
timber. Windspread rain at the clo-e
o( the mouth extinguished tuiouldering
Ores and premit preparation to meet the
inevitable dry spell to follow.
Idaho is reported iu particularly good
condition . There ha been no loss ex
cept of a few cut logs. The timber
owners' fire associations and the forest
service have pushed work on trail and
telephone building to assift their
patrols. Railroads and loggers have
taken extraordinary precautions. Tbe
chief complaint is that settlers are nut
complying with the law requiring per
mits to burn slashing and that in road
building too much material is fallen in
to the adioininif woods to lecoine a
menace a hen dry.
Washington his had many sharp
nd s few
bridges and cut logs have been lost, but
fire has been kept out of green timber
and much good was accomplished by
the removal of about 40,000 acres of
dangerous looing debris. The states lias
bad 23 regular wards in the field, lie-
sides day labor employed by them.
The Washington Forest Fire Association
had 80 wardens in June and is adding
more, besides purchasing several new
track bicycles for railroad patrol. On
the whole, all classes are more careful
with fire than in previous years. The
chief exceptions to this are reported to
lie in improperly cleored riglits-of-wny
and in the negligence of a few logging
operators to extinguish slashing lite
completely.
Oregon has also had slashing fire
which caused syme alarm, but they were
bandied promply by the wardens. Over
100 patrolman have been put in the
field already by private owners and the
State forester ha appointed 17 district
wardens. The Oregon Forest Associa
tion has organized three new coopera
tive patrol in Jackson, Columbia aud
Clatsop coun ics.
Lightning and brush burning caused
a few fires in Mont ma but as elsewhere,
improved patrol service effected their
prompt extingiit htnent. The Northern
Montana Fotentry Association has or
ganized a pew patrol covering Flathead
aud Lincoln counties with headquarters
at Kaliieli.
The Association xiintg out, however
that although toinlitions have been for
tunate so for, and extraordinary effort Is
being made by ail ofllcial and private
protective organizations, dry hot weath
er is soon due. Success in avoiding dis
tress like that of 1910 depends tnninly
upon the care taken by campers, settlers
and loggers, and particularly upon ex
tinguishment to incipient fires so tliev
will not cmoulJer and break out later
whan they cannot be controlled.
Pioneers are interested in the) pur j
chase of ten acres adjoining the site of
the pioneer monument at Chnmpoeg to
add Vi the three acre already held there
making a state park. A fund will be
raised for the purpose by subscription
and the Legislature will be asked at the
next session to repay the money advanced.
An interesting contest closed In Port
land during the past week when the Y.
M. C. A. distributed prize to chool
boys who grew vegetable on back lots.
An exhibit of the prize vegetable Wa
made and the competition created
great dital of interest. About 2 school
children entered and the showing was
creditable one.
l'hysician of the state meet in
annual convention In Portland July 10
12 and the gathering will be held In the
Commercial Club Convention Hull. A
feature of the meeting will be the
attendance ot a large number of East
ern practitoners who will ttop in Port
land on their way home from the
American Medical Association conven
tion held In Los Angeles this week.
A "get-together" eicttnlon from
Bend, south to Klamath Falls, Ijikeview,
Paisley and other cities of Houth-Cen-
tral Oregon wa a pleasant event of thtl
put WMk la the Interior. The trip m '
made In automobiles from Uend and
nnnilier uf Portland people, Including
n Ptllcial of the Ot gn development
League, went along. A better feeling
was established and better knowledge
guiued of the country visited.

been going out to their new grounds
pretty regular for practice and have two

EXPERIMENT FARM TO HELP
Portland, Ore., July 4 (Spectal)-Gret
benefit is expected to result to Interior
Oregon from the selection during the
pust w eek uf an experiment stutioti site
in Huruey Count) near Hums. Tbe lo
cation wa picked by expert from the
Oregon Agricultural College and a tract
of ltM) acre was (elected. A capable
man from the college will be put In
chatge and soil problem of the interior
will be solved. Proper dry farming
methods will be shown and the station
will serve as a nucleus for a number of
other experimental farms throughout
Harney County. Later it is hoped
others will be established in Kuatern
Oregon.
A new industry ha been started near
(ircshaiu, where a Japanete woman hits
a thriving colouy of silk worms that she
has raised from imported cwootis this
spring. The worms are now spinning
their silk and will soon develop to the
butterfly stage.
September 1 is the date set for the
opening of the railroad from Portland to
Tillamook and people in that corner of
the State will have a big celebration
wheu the train reaches Ttilamook Bay
from Portland.
The Pacific Highway Convention will
be held In Portland August 4 and 5 and
arrangements will be made by the Port
land Automobile Club and representa
tive from eveiy prominent city on the
Coast are expected to attend. A number
of automobi lists will come down in
their car frouf Seattle. Some irood
work may be expected for good roads as
the result of this convention and par
ticularly for the great highway projected
along the coast line from Canada to
Mexico.
That the wlule state will be repre
sented in framing proposed good roads
legislation Is assured now that Uovelior
West has named a commission of prom
inent men from all parts of Oregon to
assist in tbe work. It is believed this
will prevent a flood of hasty legislation
at the next election and will give the
entire state fust what it needed for high
way betterment.
Mining men will meet at Grants Pass
on July IS. The recent finds of rich
gold ore in Southern Oregon will pro
bably make the coining convention a
very interesting one. Invitations to
attend the gathering have been sent to
commercial bodies and mining organ
izations of the whole coast.
Surveys of the month ot the Colum
bia Kiver during the past week, are
expected to show an increased depth ot
the ship channel at the river's mouth
A gain of 18 inches, or a totttl depth of
27.5 feet, is unolIicUllv reported. The
measurements just mnde show that th
sweep of tlieriver curienf. and the tides
are effective when confined to the chan
nel and the increasing depth demon
Ktrale the value ol the jetty wotk at
