ROAD FUNDS TO BENEFIT

Counties of the Northwestern states
will profit $222,000 from the receipts

the schools will get $63,000 from the

BATHERS PARADE TODAY
PRETTY OIKI.S TO VIE FOR HONORS
AT COLUMBIA BEACH.
River over tha Ament dam near tha
Jackson-Josephine County line, and the
people of Jackson County are being de
prived of the salmon and trout which
ordinarily pass up the stream to the
spawning grounds and which are now
being netted by poachers at the dam.
Since low water in the river, the fish
way, and the opening made in the dam
by the State Game Warden last Spring
for fish to pass through are now dry.
This condition has been confirmed
by Hugh Mitchell, state superintendent
of hatcheries, who has charge of the
Elk Creek hatcheries operated by the
United States Bureau of Hatcheries. He
has appealed by wire to the food ad
ministration, the salmon administrator
and the State Game and Fish Commis
sion, advising them that unless condi
tions at the dam are remedied at once
that he will be forced to close the
hatcheries on the headwaters of the
Rogue River and suspend operations
for taking spawn and restocking the
stream.

COUNCIL TO STUDY MOVE
Other Conflagrations fa Columbia N
tlonal Foreat Are Threatening
Valuable Timber.
Thirteen new forest fires were re
ported to the District Forest office at
Portland yesterday.
The largest new blaze is in the vicin
ity of Sugar Pine Mountain, where the
flames have already lapped over about
3000 acres of wooded land. The other
10 fires are supposed to have been
started by lightning in the Columbia
National Forest in the locality of the
Cispus burn. Thought to be insignifi
cant at first, they are spreading rap
idly and threaten to destroy much val
uable timber. The Cispus fire has
crept over the ridge of the mountains
and is again . taxing every resource of
the Forest Service fire fighters.
The Sugar Pine Mountain blaze is in
the Deschutes and Fremont National
forests, the Klamath Indian Reserva
tion and on lands of the Oregon Land
Corporation. N. G. Jackson, super
visor of the Deschutes, and Gilbert
Brown, of the Fremont National Forest,
have sent out calls for additional fire
fighters. If fire fighters in sufficient
numbers cannot be obtained in the lo
cality men will be sent from Portland
Twenty-eight small fires, most of
which are well under control, are burn
ing near Davis Lake and Paulina Lake
in the Deschutes National Forest. They
are not considered dangerous.
The fires around Sugar Pine Moun
tain are in light stands of yellow pine.
and the loss will not be as great as if
similar areas of Douglas fir were
burning. The yellow pine woods are
rather sparsely timbered.
The timber loss is estimated at $8
per thousand feet. At this time, when
there is such a demand for labor
everywhere, the calling out of fire
fighters is counted a serious matter.
ENGINEER MAY BE EXEMPT
Oregon Boy Is Rendering Service on
African Coast.
EUGENE, Or., July 19. (Special.)
Henry Clare Beebe, an Oregon boy, in
all probability will be exempt from
service in the National Army because
of industrial work in which he is en
gaged on the west coast of Africa, ac
cording to an announcement made to
day by the appeal board for the second
district of Oregon.
Beebe is an engineer. When his case
came before the appeal board June 27,
from Jackson County, he was placed in
class 1. the board viewing the African
project, owned by the Portuguese and
Belgian governments, as a new devel
opment, contributing little to military
necessity.
Chester Washburne, a Eugene boy,
prominently Identified with the oil in
dustry, who has been visiting here,
went before the board and told of the
work which Beebe is doing in Africa.
Mr. Washburn declared the oil wells
under Beebe's direction now are pro
ducing properties and their location is
such as to render great service to the
British and French governments.
Youngsters Eager to Work.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. July 19. (Spe
cial.) During the past two daya more
than 60 children under 16 years of age
have applied to the Juvenile Court for
permission to be employed in the local
fruit cannery or other industries. The
number is the largest on record and is
indicative of the desire of even the chil
dren to assist in light work wherever
they are able. Good wages are being
paid for light piecework which chil
dren can do and, in consequence. Van
couver youngsters are filling their
pockets with spending money or funds
to invest in war savings and thrift
stamps.

Trolley Company Officials Refuse to
Make Statement Fending: Return
of Franklin T. Griffith
From Washington.
Officials of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company are not ready
to commit themselves on the feasibility
of the proposed traffic rerouting plan,
as submitted to Mayor Baker by mem
bers or the traffic division of the Po
lice Department.
O. B. Coldwell. superintendent of
traffic of the traction company, said
yesterday that, although there was no
doubt that the one-way traffic plan was
practical, especially in cities with nar
row streets, he desired time in which to j
study the proposition and would also
desire a conference with traffic experts
of the city before Issuing a definite
statement.
Autolsts Approve Plan.
A. B. Manley, president of the Auto
mobile Dealers' Association, who was
one of those present at the meeting
held Thursday, said that he was in
favor of the proposed plan and believed
that it was the only solution to the
congested condition of tha downtown
streets.
Franklin T. Griffith, president of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, is in Washington attending a
meeting of the War Labor Board, in
connection with the request of the com
pany employes for an increase in sal
aries. Until Mr. Griffith returns, it is
unlikely that the attitude of the rail
road company in reference to the plan
will be made known.
A large number of persons called
Mayor Baker yesterday, expressing sat
isfaction with the new plan of handling
the traffic in Portland's downtown
streets. Mayor Baker said that no
doubt there would be some complaints.
but care would be taken in drafting
the plan in order that the very best
solution may be secured, and he hoped
teat all would accept the final decision
as the means of relieving the public of
the present condition.
Traffic Condition Serious.
"The traffic in Portland has grown
with leaps and bounds," said Mayor
Baker. "The time is here now when,
in protection to the public, some plan
must be adopted to distribute this traf
fic and make it safe. Because of our
narrow streets, I am of the opinion.
after investigation in other cities, that
the one-way traffic is the only solution.
"City Attorney LaRoche is gathering
data and will prepare an ordinance.
Before presenting it to the council we
will call all persons directly or in
directly interested and secure their
views. We will then offer it to the
council for adoption and place the plan
into operation."
Mayor Baker said that, although
there was no need for extreme hasty
action, it was necessary to work the
plan out as quickly as possible, be
cause the present traffic conditions in
Portland are intolerable.
