CAUSES BIG
LOSS OF FRUIT CROP
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Sept. 3.
Tho most severe wind damage to
fruit which thlt section hat suffered
In many yeart occurred Inst night. A
strong gale continued for several hours
from the northwest, threshing the bran
ches, breaking limbs, and in some In
stances uprooting the trees. The
damage to pears wat especially heavy
tome growers estimating the fall at
high at 75 per cent, but at part of the
crop hud already been picked, the per
centage of loss of the total crop is
smaller than that. From some of the
pouch districts losset as high as 40 per
cent it expected, and Johnathan, De
licious and other early applet were
blown from the trees by the thousand!.
Some districts escaped with little
damage and some favorably situated
orchards were practically uninjured,
though the loss In the whole neighbor
hood was heavy. One well-informed
shipper estlmatet the total loss at 200
carloada of all frulta.

FOREST FIRE NEAR CANEMAH BURNS
OVER A LARGE AREA WITH
LOSS OF CORDWOOD
A forest fire which v.ithln an hour
after it was discovered had spread
over 35 acres, is burning in a canyon
near the Canemah cemetery, Just south
of the city limits and threatens to
spread along the top of the bluff in
timber which extends as far as New
Era.
The fire started on property which
Is owned by Max Telford, and swept
up the draw over piles of cordwood es
timated to have totalled over 200 cords.
Some of the wood was drawn off after
the fire started but the major portion
of It was burned.
Men and women, with younx eIiIs
and boys, fought desperately along the
edge of the bluff which has a sheer
drop of over 75 feet in some places,
In a frantic effort to keep the flames
from Jumping to tha green timber
which extends for over three miles to
New Era, broken only In a few places
by small clearings and farmhouses.
About 100 corda of wood, cut and stand

Mis, Mary A. Dean, Taunton, Mass.,
In her 7th year, aays: "I thought I

According to A. H. Finnegan, whose
farm adjoins that of Mr. Telford, and
who was the first to discover the
wreaths of smoke curling up from the
woods, no one was at work in the
canyon today, to the best of his know
ledge and the trail through the woods
Is seldom used. This fact, together
with the fact that thS fire seemed to
be burning in several places when
first discovered, gave rise to the the
ory that it may have been of incen
diary origin.
"There is no doubt," said Mr.. Fin
negan, "that the fire would have spread
over several hundred acres of timber
valuable for cordwood, had it beenal
lowed to jump the narrow gap at the
top of the cliff."
More than a dozen women aided by
carrying wet sacks to the men of the
district who were stationed along the
edge of the cliff beating the fire out
as fast as it gained a start.

SALEM, Or., Sept. 3. A decision
has been reached by the public ser
vice commission to refuse the request
of the carriers of the state for a 15 per
cent increase on the rates on coal and
coke.
The carriers asked for the Increase
1 that the rates might be made uniform
throughout the country, but the com
mission feels that, in view of the fuel
situation and the fact that it was not
shown that rates are not compensa
tory, no Increase should be allowed.

STATE COLLEGE WILL
E
CORVALLIS, Or., Sept, 3. A check
tor $25.50 has been mailed from the
office of President W. J. Kerr, of the
Oregon Agricultural college, to Ev
erett W. Dye, of Oregon City. The
check was drawn by the quartermaater
of the United States war department
at San Francisco to cover commuta
tion of rations for the time spent by
Mr. Dye In the reserve officers' train
ing corps during the second semester
at the college.
The corps was not established at O.
A. C. until February, 1917, bo that the
sum represents the ration allowance
for but a part of one semester. The
corps will be maintained throughout
the coming college year, and the sum
allowed for rations will be correspond
ingly larger for each wudent taking
the. advanced course, which is open
to all students who have had two years
of military experience. These stu
dents will also be allowed free by the
government complete uniform of coat,
breeches, leggings, cap, pair cotton
breeches, service hat with cord, coat
and collar ornaments, pair russet
shoes, and two flannel shirts. The
commutation allowance is about $9
a month. Students taking the course
but lacking the two years' training
will receive the clothing and equip
ment, but not the ration allowance.
Fifty students received checks from
the department for first payment, in
amounts running from $1.50 to $45, ag
gregating $13S1.20. The department
also recommends military scholarships
In the way of "small monetary allow
ance" to be available tor advanced stu
dents showing special aptitude for mil
itary service as officers. Relations
with the college will be much closer
than ever before, and Instead of one
inspection annually a number will be
arranged. The college is cooperating
by offering courses in technical sub
jects with a view to their military im
portance. RELIGION PROMPTED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. Ships are
all that is needed to solve the wheat
