Logging-Camp Owners Reach
an Agreement.
WILL BRACE UP MARKET
Employers Also Decide to Raise
Price of Board In Woods; but
Postpone Cutting Wages
of Their Employes.
A majority of the logging camp on the
Lower Columbia River and Its tributaries
will remain closed until August 16. This
was the action decided on by the owners
of the principal camps, who held a meet
ing in this city yesterday. A committee
was named to ascertain the amount of
surplus logs in the market with instruc
tions to report at another meeting of
the loggers August 10. At that time It
will probably be decided to resume work
in all of the camps August 15.
Representatives of most of the large
camps attended yesterday's meeting, which
was held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. Reports from the different camps
were to the effect that no logs had been
cut for from 30 to 60 days In the Interest
of the logging business. As a result the
surplus of logs that existed a month ago
has been largely used up. leaving an open
market for the product of the camps when
operations are resumed.
It was decided to advance the price
for boarding men in logging camps to 15
a week or 25 cents a single meal. The
prices formerly charged were from $4.20
to $4.50, some camps charging $5. No
action was taken toward reducing the
wages of the men, who are being paid
from $3 to $6 a day. If any change is
made in the wage schedule It will not
be made before the camps resume work
and then but a slight reduction is ex
pected, since the scarcity of men is a
condition that requires a maintenance of
the existing scale if men are to be kept.
Letters were read from the loggers' as
sociations of Gray's Harbor and other
Puget Sound points advising the Oregon
loggers that the Washington camps ex
pected to resume cutting . logs about
August 15, when the surplus stock of
logs In that state will be exhausted.
The proposed Increase in freight rates
on all shipments, of lumber to Eastern
points was informally discussed, the log
gers recognizing In the threatened action
of the railroads a serious blow to all
branches of the lumber industry In the
Pacific Northwest. They will join bands
at the proper time with the lumber manu
facturers in resisting any advance In the
existing rate schedule on lumber.
The Pacific Coast Lumber Manufac
turers' Association of Western Washing
ton has pledged a fund of $100,000 to
oppose the efforts of the railroads In
raising the rates on lumber and a com
mittee has been appointed to confer with
the Oregon dealers and secure their co
operation. "We have taken no definite steps to
wards resisting the proposed action of
the railroads,' said Philip Buehner, presi
dent of the Oregon & Washington Lum
ber Manufacturers' Association, yester
day. "We have decided to wait until
the new rates have been announced
when we will take practical steps to
ward off what we consider would be a
serious blow to the lumber industry in
the states of Oregon and Washington. It
Is expected these rates will be published
about August 1. It is quite likely we will
act In conjunction with the Washington
dealers who have already taken steps to
fight the action contemplated by the
railroads."

Instructors Will Be Prepared for
Agricultural Course to Be Be
gun In Common Schools.
Arrangements have been completed for
a summer course in agriculture at the
Oregon Agricultural College, beginning
August 26 and continuing to the 31st In
clusive. The purpose of the course is to
give the teachers of the state such prep
aration as they may need for the use of
the agricultural book to be introduced
next year Into the seventh and eighth
grades of the public schools. It Is hoped
that as many of the teachers as possible
will avail themselves of this opportunity
of acquiring a knowledge of the new sub
ject.
Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of the State
Agricultural College, who is in the city In
connection with the Institution, said yes
terday In speaking of the special course:
--"The Importance of agricultural educa-
tion is recognized more and more as the
people become Informed regarding the
necessity of giving to the farmers of the
country the same advantages In prepara
tion for their life work that the people
in other vocations and 'professions have.
"Competition in agriculture, as In other
enterprises, is becoming keener all the
time and the farmer who succeeds must
be up-to-date in his work, applying scien
tific principles and following business-like
methods. The necessity for this is shown
by the fact that while the agricultural
products of the United States last year
aggregated in value about $7,000,000,000, the
damage to farm crops by different pests is
estimated at upwards of $600,000,000. The
damage by the codlln moth to the pear
and apple crops alone last year in the
United States was approximately $20,000,
000. To reduce these losses to a minimum,
it is necessary that the farmer should
know something of the pests with which
he has to contend and of the most suc
cessful ways of destroying them. Further
more, in order that the maximum yield
of different farm crops way be secured
at an expenditure of minimum time and
mone. the farmer must follow modern
cultural methods.
"A great work Is being done In agricul
tural education by the agricultural col
leges of the country. But these Institu
tions do not, and cannot. Teach a suffi
cient number of the farm-population. Only
about 2 per -cent of all the children in
the common schools graduate from the
eighth grade, and of these only a very
small proportion ever receive college
training, while a very large proportion
remain on the farm. Hence the necessity
of providing for work In agriculture in
the common schools.
"Oregon is one of the first states in
the Union to Introduce agriculture into
the . common schools, and no means
should be spared to make this work a
success from the beginning.
"Very few of the teachers have re
ceived any special training in scientific
agriculture; some, perhaps, are even
without experience on the farm. Then,
again, the text-book adopted, although
one of the best of the kind published. Is
prepared for general use, and of neces
sity omits many things of local Impor
tance and perhaps contains other things
of no special value to people here.
"That the agricultural college may be
of as great service as possible in this
movement for agricultural education. It is
fitting that the magnificent equipment
the institution has for agricultural work,
and the services of the specialists in
different, subjects of agriculture, should
be utilized to the greatest extent possi
ble in preparing teachers for this new
work. It is for this purpose that the
special Summer course is established.
The work will consist of lectures on the
different subjects treated In the text,
with such Illustrations and demonstra
tions as may be helpful to teachers In
getting an understanding of the sub
ject. The professors will indicate the
parts of the text which may be advan
tageously omitted, and will give supple,
mentary material to be used - by the
teachers in adapting their work to local
conditions."
Dr. Kerr Is in Portland for the pur
pose of conferring with architects in re
gard to the plans for the new dairy
barn, for which the last Legislature
made an appropriation.
The plans for the new shops are all
completed and their construction will add
much to the efficiency of the mechanical
department. The contract for these
buildings will be awarded next week.
The buildings for the women s dormi
tory and Department of Domestic Sci
ence and Arts are nearlng completion
and with the equipment which will be
provided, will very largely increase the
facilities for thorough and efficient work
at Ooryallls.

ASCEND WITHOUT GUIDES
Two Portland I.f-tUrcarrlcra Go to
Top of Mount Hood.
F. W. Farrer and John Good, two
Portland letter-carriers, succeeded In
making- the ascent of Mount H004
without guides last Sunday. They made
the trip on bicycles and carried their
camping outfit with them. Leaving
Portland July 18 they reached the sum
mit at 11 A. M. July 21.
"We started from Portland the morn-.
lng of Thursday," said Mr. Farren,
with camping outfit, bicycles and
photographlo outfit, and camped that
evening at Alder Creek, where my sis
ter's family were camped. They treat
ed us royally, giving us a home-cooked
supper, which we greatly appreciated.
The next morning we pushed out on our
way. We soon found the road too
sandy and uphill to travel to any ad
vantage, so we left our wheels at the
toll gate and then shouldered our
packs and proceeded on foot, camping
that night at Zigzag Creek. With an
early start the next morning we
reached Government Camp at 11 o'clock
and had dinner there. That evening
we camped at the timber line.
The next morning, with breakfast
before daylight, we left for the summit
at 6 o clock. A party of nine. Including
the guide, had half an hour start of
but we passed them before we
reached Crater Rock. When they
reached Crater Rock we were at the
large crevasse near the top, which Is
one of the most difficult places to
cross on the mountain. In a very few
moments we were across and chopping
steps In the snow and ice up the last
and almost perpendicular incline.
"Just before reaching the top, upon
looking back to see If our fellow-climbers
were coming, we saw them turning
back with one of their number appar
ently helpless. We reached the summit
at 11 A. M., July. 21. 1907. This Is not
considered a speed record by us, as we
could have made It In considerable less
time had we not been encumbered by
photograph outfits.
"We overcame all obstacles and were
quite successful in taking views of
different parts of the mountain. This
was our fifth trip up the mountain,
which is an unusual record for a
party without an official guide. We
stayed on the summit only a short time,
as the wind was blowing a hurricane.
We commenced the descent, .taking pic
tures on the way, to our camp at the
timber line, and started on our home
ward journey all In good trim.
"We could not locate the record box
on the summit, as six feet of new enow
had fallen a few days before."

BBRXJIT, July 27.- (Special,) A commis
sion of representatives of the Russian
Ministries of Communication and Finance
has started for Vilna in order to investi
gate a railroad scandal Involving over
15.000,000 roubles. Every recent work of
railroad construction in the Vilna district
has been carried on dishonestly. Accord
ing to the evidence already in the com
mission's hands, hundreds of blocks of
supposed solid cement used in bridge con
struction are filled with earth. The offi
cials stole the iron girders and replaced
them with wood; and at one railroad Juno
tlon 3"0 yards of rails disappeared bodily.
