possible that this may be done in co
operation with the West Coast Lumber

Step Declared Important
"I am unable to state Just the time
that the lumber bureau will be placed
in operation, but it will be very soon,"
said Executive Secretary George E.
Hardy.
"I consider this action as of vital
importance to Portland and to the
state. It will of necessity take on a
etate-wide character. The bureau will,
of course, proceed slowly, and its use
fulness will develop as it grows in age.
But there can be no doubt of the out
come it will prove itself in future,
when hard times again sweep toward
the Coast.
"It is hoped that the lumber bureau
will prove an effective means of so
keeping our greatest product moving
in future that we may avoid the clos
ing of mills and factories and thus
ward off hard times in Oregon."

AFTER a. number of Ill-advised
ventures Portland at last seems
J. A. destined to become the home of
a combined photodramatlc school and
producing: concern. With Arthur Syd
ney, actor and former director of the
Essanay Company, as its producing di
rector, the .Oregon Film Producing
Company will make its debut next
week with the organization of classes
in photoplay acting, these to be fol
lowed by the production of single and
multiple reel features.
Fresh from California, where he has
been engaged in the production of sev
eral private films, Mr. Sydney arrived
in Portland on Sunday, made a careful
survey of the situation, and chose the
city aa the center of his future activi
ties. The producing of feature film,
and not the conducting of a school of
acting, is the goal of the new con
cern, but local talent will be developed
before September 1, when the firBt fea
ture, & one-reel comedy-drama, will be
filmed. Mr. Sydney has ambitious
plans for a ten-reel gorgeous, spec-,
tacular pantomime feature to be pro
duced with Columbia River and Ore
gon scenery as a fitting background.
Headquarters have been established
at the old Lewis and Clark Exposition
administration building, at 897 Upshur
street, where classes will commence
next Monday. Director Sydney, who
is already planning for the construc
tion of a 75x50 electric studio, will
have charge of the classes, assisted by
Loyal Underwood, director with sev
eral California comedy companies, who
will arrive next Sunday.
I believe that with the right kind
of support Portland and Oregon will
become the scene of considerable pho
toplay producing activity," says Mr.
Sydney. "The scenery here is what
makes a particular appeal to me. Tou
know the public is becoming tired of
the continual duplication of California
cenes. and the fresh Oregon back
grounds should prove a boon to the
theater-goer.
"While I hope ultimately to develop
Oregon stars for pictures, I will pro
vide professional leads for the first
pictures, Nana King, lately with Es
sanay and now with, the company pro
ducing the 12-reel Christian Science

Arthur Sydney is a native of Aus
tralia and a man of ten years' expe

SEALIOS CARCASSES CAST TTP BY
SEA WILL BB DISPOSED OP.
Cannerymen' ana Officials of Clatsop'
County Promise Health Officer
to Co-operate.
Dr. David N. Roberg, State Health
Officer, has brought about a compro
mise with the cannerymen of Clatsop
county which will make it possible to
do away with the dead sealion nuis
ance on Cannon neach errectuauy. al
though it is impossible for the State
Health Board to enforce the law which
makes the leaving of a carcass within
half a mile of a habitation a misde
meanor. "
The sealion rookery is situated near
Tillamook head, and the state offers
a bounty on sealions because of their
predatory activities against the sal
mon. Riflemen shoot a great many
sealions from the rocks near Tilla
mook head, and, after floating about
for days in the water, the carcasses are
cast up on Cannon Beach.
Dr. Robere points out that they can
not be prevented from shooting sea
lions. since the state law Is framed
to encourage it. and that the law
against putting carcasses within half
a mile of a habitation cannot be en
forced, since it is the whim of the
ocean and not of the people who shoot
the sealions which brings about this
condition.
It has finally been arranged that
the cannerymen and the county offi
cials shall co-operate in attending to
the burning and burial of the car
casses whenever they are cast up on
the beach, and through this method
it is expected that the nuisance which
has brought forth protests from peo
ple who had cottages along Cannon
Beach will be abated.
