IS Members of Oregon Branch of American Mining Congress Ad dressed by W. F. Staley. X defense of the forestry bureau In the administration of Its affairs In con nection with mining1 projects and an explanation of laws governing- their operation in forest reservations, was made last night at a special meeting of the Oregon branch of the American Mining Congress by V. K. Staley, chief law officer of this district. With Mr. Staley was his assistant, D. F. Mc Oowan: supervisor of the Columbia reservation. H. O. Stabler, and J. S. Judd, Assistant District Forester. Immediately following Mr. Staley's address, the assembled mine operators, including President J. Frank Watson, of the Congress, fired volleys of questions at him on technicalities, which kept the forestry officials busy answering for half an hour.' There was a display of some heat in the questions pro pounded and no little open criticism of Individual rulings of the bureau with reference to mining claims in this and other districts was offered.. In answering one of these questions. In which he explained the forestry officials were handicapped by the law on the question, Mr. Staley grew apolo getic of the law. He- said In some in stances, though manifestly unfair,' the forestry officials were forced to take aetlon because of the law governing the case. On the whole the meeting was gen erally conceded to have been of value to both, parties concerned. A vote of thanks was extended to the law officer and his associates for the address and answers to questions. ' "Th forestry bureau welcomes fair criticism." said the speaker. "We are anxious to encourage the development of mines and are glad to consider any 'kicks' you may have against the ad ministration of our rulings and the law." This statement met with applause. The meeting was poorly attended, there not being more than half a score of mgmbers present. DYNAMITE USED TO SCARE Neighbors of Beaverton Farmer Do Xot Believe Murder Intended. BEAVKRTON, Or.; April 15. (Spe cial.) With the evident ' intention of intimidating Tom -J. Allen, a Beaver ton farmer, an unknown man, sup posed to be his secret enemy, exploded a -stick of dynamite about 50 yards from his house at 9 o'clock Thursday night, causing one window in his house to be broken. " Allen's neighbors say he is a man of pronounced opinions on many things, and his set views have aroused re sentment among many with whom he is associated in Beaverton. It is the general opinion among these neighbors that whoever exploded the powder did not really intend to cause Alien physi cal harm, but simply wanted to intimi date him. The distance of the explo sion from the house is taken as proof o fthls. With the purpose of tracking down his unknown enemy, jllen sent to Sa lem yesterday to the State Penitentiary for a bloodhound, but the animal failed to locate the boom thrower. With the exception of breaking the window In the Allen house the dyna mite did no serious damage. It was of considerable strength, however, and startled the people throughout the neighborhood..

When bids were opened at the meet ing of the City Executive Board yester day afternoon, it was disclosed that the Warren Construction Company and the Pacific Bridge Company, layers of bitu lithic pavement, had reduced the price of their material from $2 to J1.S5 a square yard. This is in accordance with an agreement made between them and Mayor Simon last week. Asphalt bids were $1.60 a square yard. i and there was no competition, the War- ner-Quinlan and the Oregon Independent Company having no bids in. It begins to look ' &g though the Barber Asphalt Paving Company has completely routed its rivals, who have been threatening to invade the field, but who to date here done little but threaten. This .applies especially to the Warner-Qulnlan Com pany. , as the other concern has secured a few contracts. Hawom is costing $1.75 a yard at its lowest rate, and Mayor Simon wants a reduction, before long In this kind of work. For the first time. Elwood Wiles put in a bid for laying bitulithic. quoting xhe same rates as the other bidders on this work.

All were referred to the eewer committee, and the paving bids to the street committee. On recommendation of the police com mittee. Policeman Henry Holtz was dis charged from the force for habitual drunkenness. CASHIER GONE, CASH SHORT "Western Union Employe Missing for Two Weeks. R. M.
