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.

MARITAN ROLE,
Reward of Two Days in Jail for
Savins Man's Life Leads to
Bitter Resolution.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 23. (Spe
cial.) Being a Oood Samaritan- is not
worth while, thinks E. W. Comstedt,
a sailor who stayed in the city Jail
two days, and then had to put up an
eloquent plea to Judge Gordon in po
lice court, because he said he tried
to emulate the Biblical example.
"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.
Unable to decide the case, Patrolman
Orser sent both men to the police
station, where Comstedt was charged
with disorderly conduct and Steen
with being drunk. Steen put up J10
ball and went his way, but Comstedt
had to wait until he could explain
to the court.
