BIG SALE. MADE IN NATIONAL FORESTS California Company Makes Buy From Government of Heavy Timber. FUTURE IS SAFEGUARDED Chief Forester Says Great Stumpage Is Available and "Will Bo Mar keted So as Not to Cause Mo nopoly or Lessen Supply. WASHINGTON. Sept. 19. Flfial ar rangement for the sale of 800,000.000 feet of Government timber to the Sier ra Sugar Pine Company, a California corporation, will shortly be concluded In San Francisco by Chief Forester Henry S. Graves, who is due to arrive there on September 28. The timber, which stands in the Sier ra National forest, has already been awarded, after public advertisement, but, under the terms of the advertise ment, the contract will not become binding- until the company has been shown on the ground what timber the Government will reserve In order to provide for reproduction, and has agreed in writing to the terms im posed. ' Cleaa Cutting Prohibited. The company will be allowed to cut in full 800.000,000 feet, but it will not be allowed to cut clean? As a rule, the Forest Service reserves about one third of the stand. "Such large and long-term sales are a new development of the service," said Chief Forester Graves. "Great bodies of mature but inaccessible tim ber can be put on the market only if ale contracts are let on terms which will justify a very heavy initial in vestment in transportation facilities. In entering into such contracts, how ever, special safeguards to protect the public against monopoly and to pre vent an undue speculative profit to the purchaser are employed. Only Small Part Sold. "The National forests contain the equivalent of nearly 600,000,000,000 feet of timber now ot merenamaoie size, besides young growth for future har vest. Because of its remoteness from market, only a smail percentage can now be sold on any terms. The sale of less than one-fifth of 1 per cent of our total supply to one company leaves plenty of room for competition Dy other companies. "The timber which has been sold to the California companies lies well back in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and will require the construction of 70 miles of standard gauge railroad to open up the area. The company is given a cutting period of 22 years to remove the timber, besides an aaai tlonal two years -for the construction of logging and manufacturing facili ties. Foresta ta Ko Danger. "For several years the Forest Serv ice has been selling in the neighbor hood of $1,000,000 worth of National forest stumpage each year, but this, combined with what is cut for free use, is only one-eighth of what might be cut without reducing tne perma nent stock of the forests. The sup ply will be kept up through growth. By making long-term sales It will be possible greatly to increase the amount available for present needs of the timber-consuming public, without endangering future supplies through over-cutting. It will always remain true, however, that vastly the greater part of our timber sales will be to small (Purchasers, who are favored wherever possible. Monopoly is im possible as long as the door is kept open for such purchasers. Out of 4600 sales made in the fiscal year 1911, only about 40 were for over $40,000 worth of timber to a single purchaser. his indecision be says he has not yet determined to his own satisfaction whether or not Ben Selling, who was regularly nominated over Senator Bourne In the Republican primaries last Spring, violated tie. corrupt yrmo- r tices act in effecting his nomination. ' "Should I discover that Mr. Selling in any way violated the corrupt prac ticea act in his primary .campaign.' said Senator Bourne, "and my friends here in Oregon ' are convinced that should become a candidate in support of the integrity of the Oregon system, I shall e,nter the field. Both of these matters I have had under considera tion for some time, but I am not yet ready to say definitely what my future course will be. Mr. Bourne was reticent as to com mem on the action of the state Pro gressive convention at Salem, which failed to nominate him. but indicated that he would not allow their decision to influence him should he decide that he should become an independent can didate. "Yes, I was surprised by the result of the primaries, because I felt sure that the peop'e of Oregon had raitn in CRATERLAK E LAUDED BORAH MOVEMENT STARTS Senator Releases Republican Candi dates, but Pledges Are Asked. BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 19. A state wide movement was started here yes terday for the indorsement of Senator Borah for re-election to the United ' States Senate, and it is confidently be- , lleved that when it is completed, ' Idaho's junior senator will have enough votes pledged among members of the next Legislature to make his re-elec-- tion certain. The movement was started by Sen ator Borah's home county legislative ticket through the passage of resolu tions. This county, Ada, holds the ban ner representation in the legislature.

He added that thousands of Democrats would vote for the President. BOURNE YET UNDECIDED Senior Senator Arrives Here and Talks of Politics.

Dunbar, of the Washington State Su preme Court, died here early this morning, after a lingering Ill ness of several weeks. The attending physician says that apparently apoplexy was the Immediate cause of death, which occurred shortly after midnight. Chief Justice Dunbar had been a member of the State Supreme Court since Washington was admitted to the Union and served three terms as Chief Justice. He was nominated without opposition on the non partisan judiciary ticket at the statewide primary last week to succeed himself. Ralph Oregon Dunbar was born in Schuyler County, lilt- , nois, April 26, 1845. and when but 1 year old was taken by his parents across the plains and mountains " by ox-team to the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where his father engaged in farming. He was educated at. Willamotte University and in 1867 moved to Olympla, where he took up the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1869. In 1877 he went to Goldendale. He served as chairman of the committee on public lands in the constitutional convention in 1SS9 and, upon admission of the state to the Union, mounted the Supreme bench. - He is sur vived by a widow- and three children. me as their representative.

Plan to Control Corporations Bureau of Five Men Called In vitation to Wall Street. by SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 19. William J. Bryan arrived here last night, after a day spent in speechmaking in the Utah and Salt Lake Valleys. His first ippeech today was at Provo, where he arrived shortly alter noon, ne ais cussed the three leading candidates for the Presidency, but was forced to cut his speech short on account of the ex tensive programme that had been out lined for him today. Mr. Bryan made the trip from Provo to Salt Lake this afternoon, stopping at several towns along the line, where he was met by large crowds. He spoke at the Salt Lake Theater here tonight and was greeted by a large audience. Mr. Bryan outlined briefly the Demo cratic platform and compared it with the Republican and Roosevelt Progress ive platforms. He charged the third partv men with stealing several Demo cratic planks. He said the Democratic platform was the more progressive platform of the two and that it con tained all the reforms that the people of the country were ready for today. The speaker assailed Colonel rtoose- velt's plan for regulation of trusts, say ing that it was merely an invitation for the trusts and leaders - in Wall street to enter politics to control Presi dential elections. - Mr. Roosevelt's plan to control the trusts through the establishment of a bureau of five men, .to be appointed bv the President." he said, "is merely an invitation to the trusts and to the leaders- in- Wall street to enter politics nd control Presidential elections. In closing Mr. Bryan charged that Colonel Roosevelt was not for the peo. pie. but was aligned with the trusts and with the men of Wall street. " BLASTING HURTS HOMES PJece of Stumps Smash Windows and Lights Near Stanton Street. During blasting operations to uproot stumps carried out Detween .asx Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets, several pieces of wood were sent flying through the air, one large piece a foot in length landing on the top of the house, belonging to J. P. Jaeger, East Twenty-fourth and Stanton streets. Another smashed the light and a window of the house next door, the owner of which, Harry Morrow, is absent. Mr. Jaeger spoke about the matter yesterday because he feared some one would be hurt if it is allowed to continue. 'The blasting has been in progress for some days." h said, "but during the last two it became unusually severe. and today several large pieces new about a distance of more than one block.

Declaring Crater Lake to be the greatest scenic wonder in America that they have yet seen, publicly announcing they will urge the construction of Gov ernment roads to the lake and en thusiastic over the public spirit of Medford dtixens. which made - their three days' excursion to the lake pos sible, the 70 members of the American Geographical Society, who are touring the country in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the organization, returned to Medford this morning and left promptly on schedule for Calif or- nia. The two days at the lake were spent In examining the rim of the lake, climbing to the crater of Wisard Island and making notes on the topography and geologic features of the natural phenomena. , That it Is properly a caldera lak that Is, - a pot-shaped depression caused by the blowing off or submer sion of the original crater, and is not scientifically a crater lake at all, was generally agreed upon and- that the lake is probably some 26,000 years old er than has heretofore been supposed was held by many eminent scientists, though it was planned to hold further Investigations by individual memDers to thoroughly establish or disprove this contention. Professor Mark Jefferson, of Michi gan, carried on some extensive inves tlgations. considering the time allowed and was the chief advocate of the -pre glacial theory of existence. Professor W. M. Davis, of Harvard University, was inclined to the same view, but declared more exhaustive research must be made before sucn a theory could be established. Will G. Steel, known as the father of Crater Lake, addressed the scien tists and it is probable that the so ciety will 'recommend that Glacier Peak te named Steel Peak, in honor of the man who has done so much to bring the attention of the world to this body of water. .

Soiree-Musicale Marked as . Artistic Success Leo Charles Sparks, Baritone, Gives Pollntaed and Refined Programme la Multnomah Hotel Ballroom. BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. QUIET, refined, polished, artistic singing marked the soiree musicale given by Leo Charles Sparks, baritone, in the ballroom of the Multnomah Hotel Wednesday night. Mr. Spark's audience represented society and musical circles, who gave the soloist several encores and received him very kindly,, but were not wildly enthusiastic, because he did not sing In the fervent, declamatory styles that Portland folks nave been favored by so many concert baritones. Still, the concert must be reckoned a pleasant success. The piano accompanist was jsagar a,. Coursen. who played with that fine skill and mature judgment that mark the true piano artist, who is really respon sible after all for much of the fine in terpretation and - musical setting of songs selected for rendition. Mr. Sparks singing is high-class and worthy ot- a gifted artist, who is here on a short visit from Berlin, Germany, where he has his permanent studio. He is clearly at home In singing German lieder love songs of the soft, senti mental type, represented by such gems as Beethoven s Yvonne der Wehmuth, Wolf's "Verborgenheit," and Schubert's Litanei." He was at his own in these and won his audince. He also pleased in the Valentin solo from Gounod's Faust. Two of his own songs, "Old Tree" and "Break, Break, Break," are poetic gems, wedded to plaintive, spar kling music and were effectively sung. We are accustomed in Portland to a more fiery, fierce declamatory redni tion f Damrosch's "Danny Deever," especially from David Bispham and Marcus Kellerman. Mr. sparaa' ren dition Is more intellectual. The only extra number Mr. Sparks gave was MacDowell's "Thy Beaming Eyes." GOVERNOR IS REPRESENTED Portland Attorney Thinks Associa tion Should Align Self With Move. Urging that the . members of the Credit Men's Association align them selves 'with the reform movement of Governor West in spirit, even if they should not approve of his methods. J. B. Polworth. a Portland attorney ad dressed the association at its regular mnnthiv mpRtinr. held in the Commer cial Club Wednesday night. fiovernor West was to nave spoKen, but wasfunable to attend and appointed Mr. Polwarth to represent him. The subject Mr. Polwarth had for discus- ion was "The Knrorcemeni or com mercial Law." , The speaker propounded the meaning of the word credit as meaning trust, faith, belief, confidence; the reputa tion derived from the connaence or others. He showed that in an associa tion of this kind connaence ana trust In others was tna tounaation ot u various lines of business the members were engaged in. "In order to maintain ana upouna mil- business vou must align with the movement to improve the moral condi tions of tho city," he- said. "Bad moral .nmmions In a municipality, state or nation undermine business. Many of you may say that such a condition has nothing to do with business, but I say It is vital to all business. When vou know there aro oaa moral conditions In a cttyyou have less con fidence In Individuals. You do not want to extend credit to a person un- , von have confidence In nis nonesty.

Underwood, chairman of the fire insurance committee, has sent communications to every registered commercial body In the state in regard to the matter and has received answers from a great number assuring their hearty support and cooperation. Mr. Underwood has also written to Governor West asking that he issue a proclamation setting aside this partic ular day for the purpose. The object is to have every town in the state have a clean-up day and remove rub bish, clean out chimneys and eliminate any possible source where fire may start. Mr. Underwood showed Irom statistics that to the above causes were due more than 90 per cent ot the fires. C. R. Miller, secretary of the associa tion, also addressed the meeting and told of his experiences at the National convention. George F. Teifer of Seattle, formerly a member of the Portland assoclatioon. congratulated the members on , the growth of the association and statea that they were the parents of the Seattle organization. Y.

"Because of my business connections it will be an impossibility for me to accept the hrfhor," said Mr. Joseph. "I do not say this on account of any lack of faith in the success of the Progres sive party. If I were' not so busy I would have accepted the nomination and made a campaign for election: I shall file my resignation either tomor row or the next day. I tried to decline the nomination when It was being pre sented to me at Salem, but they simply laughted and I knew from that they were determined to slip something over on me." Dr. Henry Waldo Coe intimated yes terday that the forces at the Salem convention realized that Mr. Joseph would not accept the nomination, but they wished to name him anyhow, tem porarily, to fill the ticket until such time as they could deliberate and de cide upon a suitable man to oppose Judge Kakin. The ultimate Progressive nomine for Supreme Judge to take Mr. Joseph's place will be named by the Progressive state central committee, of which George Arthur Brown, of Port land, is chairman. . Friends May Save Foote. MARSHFIELD, Or, Sept. 19. (Spe cial.) W. R. Foote. who shot and killed Charles Wilcox and pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was today sen tenced to the penitentiary by Judge John a Coke in fhe Circuit Court. He was sentenced to an indeterminate term of from one to 15 years. The case has been laid before Got Nervousness Mrs. H. Gaudreau, of No. 837 West Thirty-sixth Place, Los Angeles, Cal., owes her complete recovery from nervousness to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Her cure should convince every sufferer of the value of this remedy. "When I was fourteen years old," says Mrs. Gaudreau, "I had a severe attack of diphtheria, As I was recovering from the disease and got so I could walk just a little, I suddenly be came weak and numb all over. I was perfectly helpless in bed for three months. I couldn't speak above a whisper and could eat nothing but liquid foods. I couldn't use my arms or legs, was numb all over and had no feeling at all. Doctor Called It Paralysis "The doctors told my. mother that I was suffering from paralysis and that they thought I would never .get well. They, did not help me and, as my mother had often read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, she decided to have me buy them. Pink Pills Helped at Once "I hadn't taken many boxes before I could see that the pills were helping me a lot. In six or eight weeks' time I could sit up in bed and could use my arms a little. I used them all I could and as I grew stronger all of the time, I got full use of them. I was longer in learning to walk, but finally was able to do this, too. I used the pills until completely cured and have had no signs of the Jxouble returning." .

Free From Habit-Forming Drugs Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. contain no harmful or habit-forming drugs, and the sufferer who gives them a trial will avoid the danger so common in taking drugs which only deaden pain.
