Joe Knowles to Bring Picture
Out of Forest Where He
Lives Primitive Life.
EXPERIMENT TO END SOON
Demonstration of Anility to Exist
in Mountains Anions Animals, by
Human Wits Only, Declared
to Be Satisfactory.
KVOWLES CAMP. Klamath National
Forest. Aug. 17. (Special.) When Joe
Knowles cornea out of the woods next
Wednesday he will brlna: with him as
the chief result of his 30 days' labor
a big picture of wild life, painted by
himself out of materials he discovered
In Klamath Forest.
Thus became known yesterday, when
Knowles' last message was found n
an alder bush far down the trail.
Knowles evidently is greatly pleased
with the artistic result of his exile.
He entered the forest clad only In an
Indian loin cloth. without tools,
matches, food or any of the implements
which civilized man has learned to use
in the centuries of conflict with na
ture. I'lctore to Be Brooitht.
He will come out. Judging from his
reports and from two talks with him.
strong In body, clear in mind, clothed,
and with one of civilization's highest
refinements a picture tucked under
his arm.
He has looked at the wild beauty
around him with appreciation and has
used his Imagination as well as his
practical powers. What this picture
will be Is a mystery. Knowles spoke
once of painting the sunset from one
of the high hills, a task that would
test the greatest artist.
He has seen the deer come to feed
and drink at night. He has seen the
panther prowling on the rocky mils.
He has seen the old brown bear and
her cubs feeding in the berry patches
In the mountain meadows. He has seen
the quiet Bight in the starlight, the
dawn stealing down the valley, the
myriad, active nooday life. There are
a thousand pictures he could paint.
And what materials? He has kept that
a secret also. Barks, berries, flowers,
any of these might make the colors.
A brush might be made of feathers
or hair. And his canvas may be a
mighty piece of fir bark cut from a
young tree with a sharp stone.
Demonstration la Satisfactory.
Knowles is satisfied that be has
completed his demonstration that man
needs nothing but his own wits to
make a living in the wild woods. Here
Is his message:
"My last report East Indian Creek,
Klamath National Forest, Or. If I was
to stay here for another month I might
learn more about the country, but I
am satisfied with the result of my first
month In the wilds of Oregon under
the conditions in which I entered them.
"I have not only lived this self-imposed
life for one montji, but I have
during that month discovered to me
a wonderful thing. I have discovered
the fact that I can paint a picture in
full color from the materials around
me and I will have a finished product
to prove it when I return to you
Wednesday next."
RAIN STOPSJNJENSE HEAT
Showers Reach Silver Lake Valley
Too Late to Help Crops.
SILVER LAKE. Or.. Aug. 17. (Spe
cial.) Light, scattering showers have
broken a 40-day drought in North Lake
County. Although the rain was too
late and too scanty to benefit crops, it
cooled the atmosphere to some extent
and broke an intense heat season that
had caused a cessation of farming and
other strenuous work.
The thunder shower of last Friday
was the first in some parts of this val
ley since July 2. The season of 1914
has broken several maximum and min
imum temperature marks; also this
Summer has been the driest In the his
tory of the Silver Lake weather bureau
or in the memory of old settlers. There
was less than one-fourth the average
precipitation for the period June 1
August L Two crimpy nights late In
June, when ice formed in certain local,
lties, caused considerable damage to
grain, and another frost about the mid
dle of July nipped much garden truck
in the Christmas Lake country.
BREWERIES CAN'T "KICK"
Only Residents Can Block Work on
Oregon City Street, Discovered.
OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug. 17 (Spe
cial.) Main street, Oregon City, may
be improved yet.
Hope was awakened this evening
when the remonstrance, submitted last
Friday at a special Council meeting,
was found to represent but 65.1 per
cent of the property along the street
and not 62 2-3 per cent, required by the
city charter.
The charter also provides that only
resident property owners can sign a
remonstrance, vich fact cancels the
representation or the Weinhard estate,
G. Frelwald and the Gambrinus Brew
ing Company.
The matter will be referred back to
the Council either Wednesday or Fri
day at a special meeting. T. L Char
man, who leads the fight against the
pavement, may seek to restrain the
city by injunction.
STURGEON ISBIGGEST YET
l'isli Landed Off McGowans Weighs
349 Pounds, Sells for St: I
ASTOP.IA. Or., Aug. 17. (Special.)
The largest white sturgeon reported
thus far this season was caught last
night by George Rojeness in his gill
net as he was drifting In the channel
off McGowans.
The fish was a fine specimen and
tipped the scales at 349 pounds. It
brought $24 at one of the local cold
storage plants.
COMMODITY PRICES RISE
(Continued From First Page.)
only from Hungary, Belgium and
France.
The supply of tin likewise lias been
cut off. and as a result sheet tin has
gone up 100 per cent, from 32 to 64
cents. These are New York prices,
freight costs having to be added to get
the local market. All tin comes from
England and English possessions.
What makes the situation especially
serious is that both tin and antimony
have been declared co-.traband of war,
and their exportation prohibited by the
countries in whih '-r" are produced.
One effect of the advance in tin has
been to stiffen the prices of tin cans
and thus Indirectly a factor has been
produced likely to cause an advance
in canned vegetables and fruits.
Local dealers expressed their abso
lute inability to predict what tin and
antimony will do before the war ends.
If the conflict were to stop tomorrow,
it is felt that prices would decline
quickly. On the other hand, with no
prospect of getting new supplies, the
present advances may be nothing to
what is ahead.
Paper is rising in all lines. An ad
vance of 10 cents, or 10 per cent, was
quoted In paper bags yesterday. Even
more significant was the action of Pa
cific Coast mills in withdrawing quo
tations altogether from wrapping pa
per. When new quotations arc given
out in a few days, they are sure to
be higher than the old ones.
Paper Demnnd Grows.
News print paper has gone up, but
present quotations are not regarded as
stable. The fact that 1000 tons of print
paper is Imported by this country daily
from Canada is causing considerable
worry, for, with the Swedish and Den
mark pulp sources cut off by the clos
ing of the North Sea. perhaps all of the
Canadian supply will be diverted to
(ireat Britain. Newspapers are using
fully 30 per cent more paper at present
than three weeks ago, owing to war
demands, another price factor.
All lines of colored paper are going
up, as colors are all Imported from
Germany. Importation of China clay,
which is used in the manufacture of
the finer glazed paper, has ceased.
There is no substitute for this clay.
and the situation Is serious, with only
three months' supply on hand.
Book paper is made from rags, and
all these rags come from Europe. Their
Importation is at a standstill, un
Portland house was informed from
New York yesterday that a shipload
of rags was due there, but that no
more could be obtained, and that there
was practically no reserve supply on
hand.
Cutlery Made Abroad.
,As 90 per cent of the cutlery used
in this country, including pocket knives.
scissors, shears and kindred articles.
come from Europe, most of it from
Germany, a 10 per cent increase has
been noted already. Ninety per cent
of the razors also come from Europe,
with Germany the principal producer.
Kazors have gone up 10 per cent, r ur
ther advances are expected as long as
the war lasts.
Rubber is on the rise. The advance
of this commodity is due partly to the
difficulty In obtaining transport from
the sources of the raw material, Brazil
ind Ccvlon. and partly to the fact that
most of the world's supply of crude
rubber conies from Liverpool and Ham
burg. Manufacturers in this country
have had their supply shut off.
This has led to a rise of 25 per cent
in automobile tires and rubber bands.
Belting, gum boots and some other
forms of rubber have not gone up as
yet. but withholding of the supply
much longer necessarily will cause an
advance. Rubber bags have increased
lu to 20 per cent.
Some Quotations Doubtful.
One Portland house imports annually
between 3000 and 4000 tons of Euro
pean steel. While there has not been a
price increase as yet, this Is mainly be
cause nobody knows just what the
status of this business will be, and be
cause there has not been any particular
demand for the Imported product in
the last two or three weeks.
Other European products Imported
by this house include fire brick, from
Scotland and England, In which there
Is little change because of the large
supply on hand; Calcutta goods, in
cluding burlaps and bags, which have
risen 25 per cent, due to the expected
delay in arrival of any shipments or
dered; and pig iron and coke, which
have remained down because the do
mestic product has not risen as yet.
Quotations for August showed a rise
in price of $1 to $1.50 in domestic iron
and steel at Pittsburg. This has been
explained by the fact, however, that in
July the United States Steel corpora
tion did the largest business in the
manufacture of wire steel products in
its history, the advance being due to
the heavy demand.
Drugs and chemicals, which have
risen all the way from 10 to 300 per
cent, depending upon their source of
origin, remained yesterday about as
they were on Saturday.
Price Regulation Is Urged.
WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 17. Govern
mental regulation of the sale and con
trol of the price of wheat is advocated
by the Bread and Cake Manufacturers'
Association of Canada In a resolution
unanimously adopted here today. The
resolution says:
"We believe that one of the best
ways for us to show our loyalty and
devotion is to co-operate with the
government, so far as the prices of our
raw material will permit, by not taking
advantage of speculative conditions by
unduly advancing the price of bread.
"The association asserts its belief
that there is absolutely no justifica
tion for the present inflated prices of
wheat and flour."
STATE DELAY 15 ISSUE
COURT REQUIRES EXPLANATION OF
14 YEARS' WAIT.
LunE Lapse Between Date of Filing
Deeds to School Lands and Suit
Im Query of Eugene Case.
EUGENE, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)
The State of Oregon has ten days in
which to explain a delay of 14 years
between the granting of school land
deeds to one Hyde and the filing of a
suit to set aside these deeds, which
are alleged to have been obtained fraud
ulently. If the state has a good ex
cuse the test case of the State of Ore
gon against Hyde may proceed and
form the basis for similar suits affect
ing thousands of acres of Oregon school
lands.
This decision was voiced today by
Judge Harris, before whom the test
case is on trial. The court sustained
Hyde's demurrer on the ground that
the state has been guilty of laches, or
unreasonable delay. Other contentions
in Hyde's demurrer were overruled.
The state contends that Hyde entered
into agreement with persons to make
application for school lands, but that
these applications were fraudulent, be
case. it is alleged, Hyde agreed to pay
from $1 to $20 to the applicants. As
soon as they obtained a certificate of
title they transferred it to Hyde, the
prosecution alleges.

TITE MOBNBfG
EXTRA SESSION IS
OF
Carey Act Projects and Dis
posal of Salt Deposits to Be
Put Up to Legislature.
AID FOR IDLE TO BE ASKED
Three Reclamation Companies De
clared by State Engineer to Have
Failed to Live Up to Con
tracts With Board.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.)
Governor West, at a meeting of the
State Desert Land Board today, an
nounced that he probably would con
vene the Legislature in extraordinary
session December 1 to provide a plan
for completing various Carey Act irri
gation projects. He said that the $450,-
000 aDDropriated by the last LeRisia
ture could be used as a revolving fund
for finishing the other projects. The
act making that appropriation provided
that the state shall be reimbursed
through the sale of the reclaimed land
The. Kxpfutlvc said if the special ses
sion were convened he would ask the
I.e-rlslature to determine what snouia
be done with the salt deposits in Abert
and Summer Lakes. The board nas
received two bids for leases oi ine
property, one of which was for more
than $2,000,000. and has oeen miornieu
that the leases are probably worth
10 times that much. The Governor said
he also would ask the Legislature to
provide means for taking care or tne
unemployed in the winter and to take
action with relation to the Benson
Hyde land suits.
Bogus Certificates Alleged.
"I think a moral obligation rests
upon the state to take care of these
Carey act projects." said the Governor.
"The good name of the state demands
that something be done to take
care of these projects because of the
failure of the state officials properly to
safeguard them in their inception, it
is up to the legislature to see that
something is done in the Benson-Hyde
case. There is evidence of 50,000 bogus
certificates and nnhourrh the Legisla
ture appropriated $5000 to bring suit
no testimony has been taken. The suit
is to recover school lands alleged to
have been obtained through fraud."
After nn all-dav session of the board.
State Engineer Lewis positively refused
to certify for patent about 3000 acres
of land in the Central Oregon irrigation
project. Governor West and other mem
bers favored it, with certain restric
tions. Mr. Lewis said the contract with
the company called for one ana eisni
tpnths acre feet of water and an in
vestigation showed that the company,
because of seepage, could deliver only
one and three-tenths feet
Engineer Is Firm.
it whs arsmed that the latter amount
was all that was necessary for ordi
nary crops, but Mr. Lewis said the con
tract must be lived up 10. c. w n
liams. a settler on the project, who
renresented the. settlers, said they were
satisfied with, the amount of water be
ing furnished for the present.
A suiriiOiition that Mr. Lewis cenny
the land for patent with a reservation
that the state and the settlers retain
their right to obtain the full amount
of water through legal action was op
posed by the State Engineer. A resolu
tion by State Treasurer Kay reciting
that the State Engineer declined to
patent the list, but that the board be
lieved the water was sufficient to grow
ordinary agricultural crops, was adopted
and will be forwarded to the Secretary
of the Interior.
In reply to a request by Governor
West as to the projects that had broken
their contracts the State Engineer said
there were three. He said the Central
Oregon Irrigation Company had allowed
the time for the completion of the first
unit to expire; that the Deschutes Land
Company had forfeited its contract by
failure to do the work on time, and that
the Portland Irrigation Company had
violated its contract by allowing entry
of land and rights to water by pur
chasers of stock.
Governor's Motion Lost.
A motion by Governor West that the
salary of the Tumalo project engineer
be reduced from $4200 to $3000 January
1, was not seconded. Mr. West ex
plained that a bill had been initiated
providing that the Tumalo engineer be
made the State Engineer beginning
January 1, and that there was objection
to his receiving more than the present
State Engineer. He said he had con
ferred with O. Laurgaard, Tumalo proj
ect engineer, and he had agreed If the
bill passed to accept $3000 as State
Engineer.
Governor West's resolution that the
secretary of the board notify the com
panies which have not lived up to their
contracts, if they fail to proceed with
the work and to conform to the specifi
cations of their contracts, the state will
declare forfeitures of their contracts,
was not seconded.

HARVEST NEARLY OVER
Walla Walla Yield Up to Expecta
tions, but Dittle Is Sold Yet.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 17.
(Special.) Another weeK or lu aays
will see practically all of the Walla
Walla County wheat in the sack.
Weather conditions have been excel
lent for a long, steady run of the
harvesting outfits, though some rain
would have been appreciated. As it
was most of the machines have not
had to stop.
Lack of rain has put the roads in a
fearful condition and many of the
farmers are delaying wheat until rain
falls.
Practically no wheat sales have boen
made this year.
The crop this year has come up to
expectations, and. though no definite
figures will be known for weeks, the
dealers believe the crop will be be
tween 6.2."0.000 and 6,600,000 bushels.
