The good roads delegation arrived here
this morning and was met at the train by
a committee consisting of Leslie Butler,
E. O. Biancher. V. U Clark, P. S. Oavid-
son. Charles T. Karly and A. J. Derby.
In the party besides Judge Webster and
Judge and Mrs. Scott were J. H. Albert,
president of the First National Bank at
Salem, and Mrs. Albert, Mr. and Mrs.
R. Watson, of Tillamook, and H. B.
Chapman, of the Portland City Engineer's
office. The visitors were escorted to the
Mount Hood Hotel where they had lunch
and afterward attended the first meeting
which was held at 2 o clock.
Judge Scott Outlines Work.
The speakers were introduced by Coun
ty Judge A. J. Derby the first talk being
made by Mr. Scott who outlined the work
. of the State Good Roads Association and
also gave a short practical demonstration
with the aid of a rough drawing on a
blackboard of how a good road should be
- DUIII.
Mr. Scott was followed by Mr. Albert,
who, as treasurer of the state assocta
. tion. told of the necessity of financing to
secure the needed legislation to ma ire
good roads possible and who emphasized
the point that good roads were not an
expense, but an Investment which bene
fited every community alike.
The concluding address vat made by
Judge Webster, who stated in his open
ing remarks that he came from the old
est and richest county in the state to Jhe
youngest and most progressive to ret as
sistance in getting good roads for Oregon,
and that he knew he was going to get it.
He told how the association expected
to go about inaugurating a good roads
movement all over the state, and what it
was necessary for the people of each
county to do to secure the needed legis
He explained the various measures
which the Legislature will be asked to
make laws, such ae providing for a state
appropriation to each county of 910,000,
with the stipulation that the county re
ceiving it must also appropriate the same
amount; a law providing for the employ
ment of state and county prisoners in the
construction of roads ; a law pro v id In
for the organization of local road im
provemont districts, and an amendment
to the state constitution empowering the
several counties in the state to bond for
the purpose of const rucing permanent
roads.
The bonding proposition evidently
struck a responsive chord in the minds of
the audience, as its mention met with
hearty applause, and at the conclusion of
Judge Webster's talk a preliminary or
ganization was started- with 100 names.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
meeting the visitors were taken for an
automobile ride in the valley and at 6
o'clock were the guests of the directors
of the Commercial Club at dinner.
Evening Session Enthusiastic.
The evening meeting was largely at
tended and enthusiastic. It was con
ducted by President A. A. Jayne, of the
Commercial Club. Mr. Albert, Judge
Scott and Judge Webster again spoke
and County Judge A. E. Lake, of Wane
County, also made a short talk. The
speakers expressed themselves as very
much gratified with the earnestness with
which the good roads movement Is be
ing taken up at Hood River and Judge
Webster stated that after reading of the
apple sale which took place here yester
day he was satisfied that the ordinary
road would not do for Hood River and
that he expected to see It put down
asphalt.
H stated that the spirit shown here
could be used as a lesson to other sec
tions of the state and that he looked to
see Hood River County become the ban
ner road-building county of the state.
Within a few days it Is planned to call
another meeting and perfect a strong
local Good Roads Association that will
work In conjunction with the State As
sociation. It was also stated tonight that

While the lack of rain over this area
has caused great hardship, officials of the
agricultural bureau express the belief
that it has not injured the corn 'crop,
but has tended to mature it earlier than
usual.
They say the wheat crop of next year
is unfavorably affected as the ground is

Maine Forests Still Burning.
AUGUSTA, Me., Sept 19. The devas
tation of great sections of timberland
by forest fires continued without no
ticeable decrease today. Damage esti
mated at more than $300,000 has al
ready been done. The hundreds of
men whohave been fighting the flames
during the past three days arS nearly
exhausted.
Steamer Strands on . Dry ; Bed of
Ohio River, While Boys Play
Baseball Mines Suspend,
. Lacking Water.
Smoke from the extensive fires burn
ing in widely-separated districts of
the eastern portion of the United
States . and Southern Canada has en
shrouded the entire section beneath a
murky pall so heavy In some places
as practically to obscure the sun and
through a wide area to interfere ser
iously with transportation.
The smoke-banks extend well off the
coaet and enfold the routes of coast
and part of trans-Atlantic shipping.
From the Canadian woods and the
forests of Maine down through the
Adirondack region to the Catskllls and
beyond to the Pennsylvania lumber re
gions fires are burning in the forest
mountain regions.
In many places prayers are being of
fered up for rain.
PITTSBURG. Sept. 1?. With forest
fires destroying much valuable property;
the enforced suspension of mining Indus
tries, crops ruined, livestock suffering,
river navigation at a standstill and nu
merous small streams absolutely dry, a
drouth which has practically been un
broken for over two months Is fast as
suming serious proportions In the western
part- of Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and
Northern West Virginia.
During four days of this week a repre
sentative of the Associated Press visited
over 30 cities and towns In the tri-st&te
district and conditions of an alarming
nature were found on account of the long
dry spell.
At night raging forest fires light up
miles of territory, while thousands of per
sons are doing everything in their power
to check the flames.
Meetings are held at which prayers for
relief are offered.
A majority of the smaller streams are
as dry as a bone and their beds are being
used as wagon roads. Near Marietta, O.,
the large steamboat Toronto, with a tow
of barges for Pittsburg, is lying on a
bed of gravel -in the middle of what was
the river. Boys play ball in the middle
of the Ohio River bed.
Telegraph and telephone companies
having cables crossing the river are dig
ging trenches In the river-bed so the
cables can be placed out of Jigit. Many
Industries along the river are suspended
on account of no water.
It Is said of the streams now dry it is
the first time in 60 years that such a
condition has existed.
In the Pittsburg harbor there are be
tween 15,000.000 and 20.000,000 bushels of
coal ready to be shipped to points south
and west of this city. Many of the river
coal mines, employing over 15,000 miners,
may be compelled to suspend operations.
To -prevent an epidemic, the health au
thorities are flushing several streams in
the Pittsburg district, and then coating
the bed and bank with lime.
Forest fires in Somerset County, 30
miles from Astoria, Pa., have destroyed
three lumber camps and about 10,000.000
feet of lumber, valued at 150.000. Over
1000 men have been fighting the fires for
48 hours without food or sleep. It is
also believed that a number of lives have
been lost at this place.
The city of Corry, Pa., is surrounded
by fire. The forests on all sides of the
city are ablaze and the heavy smoke
makes It almost Impossible to breathe.
During a recent openalr prayer-meeting
near here a brief thunder shower oc
curred. Instead of seeking shelter, the
congregatioa remained outdoors, singing
Praise God from Whom ah Blessings

Fires Rage In Connecticut.
CAN AX; Conn., Sept. 19. The forest
fires which have been burning on the

plating suicide when she stumbled into
his camp. She cannot be moved for
several days.

FIRES FOLLOW LONG DROUTH
Pennsylvania Timberland Now
Threatened by Flames.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19. Practical
ly the entire state of Pennsylvania east
of the Allegheny Mountains is suffering
from one of the worst drouths in years.
some parts of the state no rain has
fallen In more than two months and rivers
and streams are so low that many indus
tries have been interfered with and in
some instances plants have been shut
down' for the lack of water. Forest fires
are burning in several sections and some
localities report that crops will be en
tirely ruined unless rain comes soon. .
At Shenandoah in the anthracite coal
region, the -water supply Is so low that
farmers are bringing water to the resi
dents in the town instead of vegetables,
as there is more profit In hauling water
than peddling produce.- Water sells at 8
cents a gallon and many are compelled
to walk three miles to get a supply even
at that price. Several coal mines in that
region have been closed because of lack
of water to run the power plants.
At Duncannon, near Harrisburg, the
Susquehanna River is lower than it has
been in more than a hundred years.
In Philadelphia the Schuylkill River Is
lower than It has been at any time since
1869 and canal boats are stranded at
different points in the river between here
and the coal regions.
Forest fires, which have spread from
the railroad tracks to the timberlands,
are causing much excitement and con
siderable apprehension. A careful esti
mate places the area already covered by
the flames as 30,000 acres and the loss
will be great.
There are fires of- large proportions at
Cresco, Moscow, Gouldsboro and near
Tobyhanna and an almost continuous
string of fires along what Is" known as
Trout Creek. In much of the region
swept there Is no valuable timber,, but
there are some areas where a considera
ble number of good trees have been damaged.
