Was Son of Mother of Suffrage In
Oregon.
Portland,' Aug. 5. Willis Scott
Duniway, aged 50, and for several
years state printer of the state of
Oregon, died here today. He has been
in ill health for two years, but death,
was unexpected even to close friends. I
He was a son of Abigail Scott Dun
iway, the famous Oregon suffragette
who blazed the trail for equal suf
frage in this state.
Last fall he was elected to the of
fice of state printer by a handsome
majority.
For many years Duniway was prom
inently connected with republican poli
tics in Oregon. N
Two years ago he was prominently
mentioned for governor on the republi-1
can ticket but his health prevented his I
race. He was able, however, to mus
ter votes enough to elect him to the
'office of state printer last fall.
More Forests for Uncle Sam.
Washington, Aug. 6. The first gov
ernment forest to be acquired upon,
the watershed of the Ohio river has
just been approved for purchase by
the national forest reservation com- i
mission. This purchase is included
in what is known as Monongahela area
and the commission considers it an im- !
portent one since the Ohio is one of j
the most used navigable streams of.
the country. Last year the Pittsburg
flood commission made a special study
of reforest'ration at its headwaters.
Four areas in all are approved, in
cluding the Monongahela, and making
up the largest set of purchases passed
upon at any one time by the com
mission. They aggregate 113,909
acres, and bring the total of all the
national forests in the cast up to 713,-,
415 acres. Of this amount, about 300,
000 acres were acquired during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1912, and
400,000 acres during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1913.
