Crown Willamette Taper Company Accused of Building Railway .Paralleling Koute. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.! personal investigation of devastation of forests along- Oretron scenic high ways has convinced Herbert Nunn. state high way nBineer, that the con ditions are'even worse than original ly reported. accor(lin.K to a letter Pre pared by the engineer and submitted to Governor Olcott today "The first district visited was south of Rend," said Mr. Nunn. 'The highway leading to Klamath Falls and Crater lake, although not finished, will pass .through a forest of beautiful pine timber and has been advertised as one of the features to attract tourists to that district. 'or a distance of ten miles not a tree has been left standing and the timber company has gone so far as to cut the timber within the right of way lines of the state highway. Itnllvray Built Alone Iloitd. "On the "state highway between Seaside and Tillamook, along the Ne canlcum river I found the Crown Willamette Paper company building a railroad paralleling the state high way. Along this road is the finest body of spruce timber in Oregon and we have been very anxious to preserve the trees adjacent to the right of way. "I noted with dismay that the de struction of this timber was com pleted as far as the end of their present railroad and also that the trees had been cut within the right-of-way lines on the highway. I have taken this matter up with the attorney-general ith the request that all trees within the right-of-way lines on this highway be preserved by the paper company. Tree Destruction Reported, "Another thing which I have noticed in my inspection is the destruction of tre5 along the state highways by the telephone companies. This is par ticularly noticeable on the upper Co lumbia river highway between Cas cade locks and Hood river, but I find it general all over the state. Last year 1 requested that particularly beautiful trees be preserved between Eugene and Goshen only to find later that the telephone company had de stroyed all of them." V. A. Elliott, state forester, will leave tomorrow for Portland, where he will meet George H. Cecil, district forester, and C. S. Chapman of the western forestry department, pre paratory to going to Seaslde Satur day, from where they will make a survey of the forest along the state highway between that city and Can non beach. .Mr. Elliott stated this morning that his party would be accompanied on the trip from Seaside by a represen tative of the Crown-Willamette Paper company, which owns the forest which it is desired to conserve, and members of the committee appointed recently by Governor Olcott to devise plans for the conservation of Oregon'e eccnic beauties. A conference will be held following the Inspection tour, when recommendations will be made as to how the forests along the state highways can best be conserved.

Being a Oood Samaritan- is not worth while, thinks E. W.

"Never again," declared Comstedt. "Xext time 1 see a man killing a fel low I'll let him go ahead and do it. I saved a man's life and I get arrested and sent to Jail, while the other fel low gets out. I'm done." After hearing Comstedt's story. Judge Gordon told him to go. This was the yarn the sailor spun: At the foot of Seneca street there is a 30-foot drop from the First ave nue sidewalk toward the west. Com stedt observed the actions of two men J on the sidewalk. One was yelling lustily and the other appeared to be trying to shove him off the side walk. Comstedt rushed up and rescued the man who was about to be pushed over to a 30-foot fall. The man doing the pushing Ivnute Steen, a sailor didn't like the inter ruption and turned on Comstedt. Dur ing the row Patrolman Orser ap peared. Steen appealed to the police man, and Comstedt also told his story.
