This would put the wool Issue up to I'reddent Taft, and there Is ni'lch speculation as to what his course will be. Mr. Taft would make no comment on the situation. While the Hrd ib iit In the past ha denounced the present woolen schedule of the I'ayne-Aldrich bill aa Indefensible, there have been strong Intimations from the White House within the past few weeks that be would not hesitate to tase the veto on any tariff schedule pasned In advance of report from the tariff board.

The principle green timber In which this particular fire is raging owned by the Holland, Urlggs & Avery Timber Company, of Portland. A patrolman for this company has crew of ltf men fighting the fire, which Is in an extensive belt of heavy timber and Is apt to become bad fire unless stopped soon. This makes the second forest fire now burning In Linn county. 1 ne other one has been burning several days southeast of Mill City. A big crew of nre-nghters irora the Curtlss .umber Company's mills, assisted by Government rangers, has been fight ing this fire continually, but has not yet checked It. Official or the uurtlss company assert that this fire, which swept out the Curtiss Company's logging ramp No. 6, and greatly damaged It logging railroad, has damaged but little green timber and has been confined almost entirely to an old burn and logged-off land. One of the fiercest fires In years is raging in Columbia county, 11 miles northwest of St. Helens. The area now burning is estimated at five miles In length and a mile wide. Men who have been fighting the flames admit that the fire Is beyond their control and that only a change In the wind or a heavy rain will ton the conflagration. This news was brought to Portland last nigni bv Mr. and Mrs. William H. Dolman who have been camping for the past five days at a point known as Bunk er Hill, In the woods nine miles west of St. Helens.
