OLD-TIMER DIES III FIRE
GEORGE R. CLARK, BAKER COUNTY
CHARACTER, IS NO Mb RE.
Picturesque Pioneer Gambler, Staare
drrre and Horseman Killed in Blas
l Ins Home Cigarette Blamed.
BAKER, Or, Nov. 23. (Special.)
Death came in as spectacular to George
R. Clark, picturesque pioneer of Baker
County, has had been his life. Fire at
3 o'clock this morning wiped out the
little home and ended the life of the
gambler, whose merry quips as, a dealer
of faro bank had made him known to
even more than the devotees of the
once thriving temples of chance, of the
Btagedriver who, Summer or Winter,
drove over the rough roads on the
Cornucopia stage line, of the daring
horseman and relic of the days of long
ago.
His friends declared that Clark 'never
went to bed without a supply of cigar
ettes at the bedside and on several oc
casions he had started a fire in the
bedding from sparks. This Is the
only plausible explanation for the
night fire. When neighbors reached
the scene the house was wrapped in
flames. Clark was seen to stagger
forth and drop at the doorway. He was
dead when dragged away.
Clark was 60 years of age. He was
known to virtually everyone in Baker
County, where he settled when a lad.

WILSON TO CUT COST
Budget System in Government
Is Economy Plan.
IDEA TO GO TO CONGRESS
House Appropriations Committee
Begins Work and legislative, Ex
ecutive, Judicial Bills to Be
Ready for New Session.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. President
Wilson is giving careful consideration
to means for reduction of Government
expenditures next year because of the
European war, it was learned today,
and is aiming toward a budget system
to co-ordinate expenditures and Income.
Mr. Wilson plans to give more atten
tion to appropriations hereafter than
he was able to do last year, because of
the press of other business. In his
writings before he became President
he advocated the budget system, includ
ing the presence in Congress of th?
Secretary of the Treasury to explain
the Administration's estimates.
Economy Need Pointed Out. ' .
It is expected the President will
refer to this question in his forthcom
ing message to Congress and will give
particular attention to it in conferences
he ia to begin soon with Congressional
leaders with regard to the programme
for the short session.
,The President already has discussed
expenditures at several Cabinet meet
ings and impressed on the Secretaries
the necessity for economy. He has been
told, however, that the beginning of
new Governmental activities, such ' as
the Trade Commission and the Federal
Reserve Bank system, will necessitate
some new appropriations.
Activity of Short Session Begins.
The activities of the short session
really opened today when the House
appropriations committee began hear
ings on the District of Columbia appro
priation bill. A sub-committee will be
gin work Thursday on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. .. v
The plan of the appropriations com
mittee is to have those two supply
measures ready by the time Congress
convenes, December 7. The legislative
act for the current fiscal year appro
priated $37,600,000, and the estimates on
the coming year exceed the current ap
propriation by $3,000,000, which is
exactly the estimate for a proposed
agricultural estimate census. The dis
trict current appropriation is $12,000,
000. Estimates for next year approx
imate the same figures.
Hearings on the naval appropriation
bill will begin Monday.
FOREST JOBS IN DEMAND
Supervisor of Reserves Is Flooded
With Applications for Work.
SILVER LAKE. Or., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) Applications for work In the
Forestry Service in Central Oregon are
far in excess of the number of Jobs
to be filled. Gilbert D. Brown, super
visor of the National Forests in this
district, is flooded with inquiries from
those who aspire to become guards,
rangers, assistant rangers or tree
doctors.
When the Government first es
tablished patrols during the fire
danger season in the forest reserves
of this district it was difficult to find
men to do the work. At present there
are so many seeking Jobs in the woods
that would-be guards are required to
pass the assistant forester civil serv
ice test before their applications are
considered. -

Let Us Solve Your Christmas Gift
The Manufacturers' Emergency and
Surplus Sale now being conducted by
Ellsworth, Barnes and Davey has cer
tainly been the biggest piano-selling
event Portland has ever Known. The
big- piano house of Eiiers, Broadway at
Alder, enjoyed by far the biggest Sep
tember ever known since the estab
lishment of the .house, many years ago,
and October was even greater than Sep
tember, over S6,000 worth of piano
business being done in that month. The
manufacturers figure on keeping the
wheels of their great institutions go
ing and to get rid of the surplus stock
which has accumulated they have prac
tically eliminated all of their profit.
They made us a proposition that they
would sell every piano we had in stock
in a limited amount of time if we
would agree to buy three pianos for
every two their representatives sold,
they to make all discounts and pay all
the advertising. Under this arrange
ment we have 'turned over our big
establishment to them.
Sale Will Soon Close
Although our store is crowded with
enthusiastic buyers every day, the sale
will soon close. 'Space does not permit
giving a complete list of the pianos on
sale, out we have endeavored to give
you an idea as to what you can buy
and the prices that are now marked
on every instrument by the manufac
turers' representatives.
