POLICE OFFER AID TO FIREMEN'S BAND Concert Announced by Com bined Musical Organiza :. tions to Pay -for Trip.. 32 WILL GO TO NEW YORK jPortland Clubs Indorse Project -of Representation at Fir Chiefs' Convention In September 'ii s .Advertising: Medium. To raise money to eend the Portland fire department band to New York In September to attend the international convention of fire chiefs, arrangements have been made for a concert by the combined fire and police department bands at the Armory some time be tween August 1 and 15, probably Au gust 10. The combined bands will be one of the largest musical aggrega tions of the kind ever heard in Port land, each band having 32 pieces. These organizations played together for the first time on the final day of the Hose Festival when they com bined more by accident v than intent. Since then practices have' been held. The fire band has had plans for the concert under way for some time, the entertainment being looked upon as a means of raising the $6000 which will be necessary to send the members of the organization to "the convention. Last week the police band volunteered to assist and now the two organiza tions are busy preparing a long pro gramme of popular and- classical music Portland is said to be the only city In the world having a fire band. The latest city to attempt an organization was Seattle, but it did not prove a success. Band Is Two Years Old. The Portland band was organized two years and a half ago. Every mem ber of the band is a fireman in the regular service and no two members belong to the same company in the department. The convention of fire chiefs will be attended by the chiefs of departments from all over the world including prob ably Chief Dowell, of the Portland de partment. Portland expects to make a great showing with its band. Various commercial organizations in. eluding the Commercial Club, the East Klde Business Men's Club and others have Indorsed the trip as a big adver tising feature for Portland. The band will render concerts at the principal cities between Portland and New York both on the way to the convention and on the return trip. In several places Btreet parades will be given and the fire departments serenaded. In New York the band will lead the parade of fire chiefs and will play at all the sessions of the chiefs. The men plan to make the trip without inter fering in any way with the Fire De partment service or without cost to the city. All members will take the trip as their annual vacation and the ex penses will be paid by the money taken in at the concert. Serview Given Free. The fire band has appeared at ajl the principal puoiic ceieDrations in fort- land since its organization. No money has ever been received for playing. The band will hold Its annual excur sion to Estacada July 13. Arrange ments are being made for an interesting programme of music and sports. Two band concerts will be given and an erohestra will play for a dance at night In the pavilion. Volunteer fire depart ments of the city are arranging to at tend In special cars. MRS. H. V.

OREGON BIRDS STUDIED WILLAMETTE PROFESSOR KINDS STATE HAS MAJfY SPECIES. In Interest of Museum Conducted' by Game Warden Flnley Much Ab sorbing1 Lore Is Collected. WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem, Or., June 28. (Special.) Professor M. E. Peck, head of the department of biology of Willamette University, has done considerable work through out the state in the interests of the State Museum, which is in charge of W. L. Finley, game warden. Professor Peck has made a careful study of the birds of Oregon, and secured a number of specimens for the museum at Wil lamette. As a result of his investigations of the bird life of the- state, he says Oregon has an enormous bird fauna. A large number of the species are distinctly local. Beyond the Cascade Mountains, outside of a few places, such as towns or wooded streams, he found scarcely any birds such as make their habitat in the fir - forests of Western Oregon. He found that geographical features had a great deal to do with the distribution of so many different kinds of birds. Out in the sagebrush plains he discovered a bird peculiar to that region and found nowhere else. In other sections he found birds distinctly local in character. Oregon has from 350 to 400 species and subspecies. This is large, and perhaps exceeded only by California, which has more than 400 species, prob ably the largest number in" the United States. . - In addition to securing about' 180 speciments of birds for the state. Pro fessor Peck procured a number of specimens of sea plant life for the lab oratories of the university and about a thousand specimens of plants for the university herbarium. Over a thou sand specimens were also added dur ing the past season to the collection of the flowering plants of Oregon, which brings the number up to about 3500, including. It is estimated, nearly two-thirds of the species occurring in the state. Professor Peck is now conducting work along his chosen . line at the Ashland (Or.) Chatauqua.

' RAPID ADVANCE IS MADE While Residents Do Not Seem to Be Bothered by Isolation, Natural Wealth of District Brings on Much Development. BANDON, Or., June 'ZS. (Special.) Their common resources and Industries and their .similar climate and their mu tual dependence make the interests of Coos and Curry counties matters of concern, the one to the other. These two joining counties form an empire irom the rest ot Oregon, with no rail road connection with the interior they enjoy comparative Isolation, and their people who are willing to suffer this isolation and a few slight inconveni ences are living "in clover" and ac cumulating wealth. It . is about the only place in the worjd where some of the people do not care for an increase in population and connection by steam or electric lines with the thoroughfares of the Nation. On account of the sameness of the two counties in - topography, climate, re sources and Industries, the name of one is rarely ever mentioned without men tion or the otner. so it is the coos and Curry County Fair'," "the Coos and Curry County Normal," etc The fact that Coos has two sea ports, a navigable river and a short- line railroad, has enabled, her to make greater progress than her sister county. Coos is - more thickly populated, but Curry is advancing rapidly. Bandon. in Coos County, near the Curry County line, furnishes the investigator an op portunity to note what is going on in Curry County, for most of the supplies for Curry come through Bandon. the stage routes terminate "here and ' at Myrtle Point, and Bandon is the principal-market for Curry County people. ' Elgtt Tmrai In County. There are eight small towns in Curry with a combined population of 1000 people. There are about 2000 people altogether in the county which has an area of .1,700,000 acres. Five-ninths of the county is held by the Government forest reserve. Langlois with a population of 250 is the largest town, Gold Beach .with 200 people is the county-seat. Cape Blanco is the United States wireless and life saving station and is the farthest point west in the United States: Wedderburn is a small fishing village, Brookings in the southern end of the 'county at the mouth of the Checto River is a new town being promoted by the Brookings Lumber Company of California, and Denmark and St. Agnes are merely postoffices and supply stations for the neighborhood ranches. There are ten creameries and ten cheese factories within a radius of five miles of Langlois. The same propor tion obtains over the whole dairy sec tion of the county. This great number is made possible on account of the fact that for nearly every dairy herd there is a creamery and cheese factory. Some of the world's largest dairy herds are found in this county. The great Star ranch alone keeps 200 milch cows and is equipped with all the most modern equipment, including milking machines, butter and cheese factories. Grass is green the year around, thus making feed abundant and cheap. The bench lands furnish fine pasturage for sheep and the county is one of the fore most wool producing counties ot Ore gon. Farming is done on a small scaled although vegetables and berries are in evidence everywhere. One can make an acre or two planted in berries yield a living income. , Lumber Industry Thrives. Curry County will hold her own with the rest -of the counties of Oregon in the manufacture of lumber. There are 11. small lumber mills in the county, with a total capacity of 135.000 feet per day. . At Port Orford are manufactured the famous Port Orford shingles. This year the Brookings Lumber Company is building a mill with a daily capacity of 100,000 feet. This plant is being built at Checto, near the mouth of the Checto River. The Brookings Company with a capital stock of $1,500,000 has filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. At present 200 men are on the ground rushing the con struction of the mill and roads. The harbor at this point is to be improved by a 700-foot breakwater to cost $60, 000. The vessels coming in to load will have a thoroughly protected harbor. The mill will be modern in every re spect. A new planing mill is now be ing erected at Langlois. Wedderburn on Rogue River is sup ported chiefly by the fishing Industry. A large cannery is located there. In no other place in the world Is there better game fishing than on the small mountain streams of Curry County. A record-breaking catch was that of two young women and their small brother this Spring on Elk River in one hour and a half. The catch consisted of 400 trout from 10 to 20 Inches long. At Port Orford deep sea fishing, prin cipally for sea lions, furnishes employ ment for many, and. sport for many others during the Summer. Some evidences of progress in this county in addition to what has been mentioned include the completion this year of a courthouse and high school buildings at Gold Beach, the establlsh- 'ment of the Brookings State Bank at Brookings, capital stock J30.000; the good roads campaign resulting m - an ISO, poo bond Issue, and the proposed construction of a county electric plant. J. P. Olsen. a wealthy dairyman ot Langlois, Is behind the electric project. , Plans Are On Big Scale. The nlans and specifications have been drawn and application has been made for a water Tight. Mr. Olsen and his associates plan to build a. dam on the creek which runs through his place, so that enough water may be im pounded to furnish 1000 horsepower in dry months and it.ooo Horsepower in wet months. At this place he will put in a plant that will furnish electric power to the entire county. There are three thriving weekly newspapers in the county the Curry County Leader, at Langlois: the port Orford Tribune and the - Gold Beach Globe. There are two local Commer cial Clubs, one at Port Orford. the other at Agnes, and a County Commer cial Club. This club holds Its meet ings at the various towns of the county and endeavors to promote the Interests of the county as a whole. All points In the county have daily mail service and are reached by stage lines. A telephone is in almost every ranch home of the county and all the towns have telephone service. This country hag been cited as a refuge for criminals, but no longer Is a refugee safe when he thinks to find a hiding place in this section. The officers are vigilant and quick to detect the where abouts of any criminal who has turned this way for protection. The people re siding here are a thrifty and lawabld- lng people, intent on improving them selves intellectually through schools and libraries and upon acquiring the culture of the world through the ad vantages that their Teadily acquired wealth brings them. NORTH YAKIMA FAIR DATED Conflict With Salem Deemed Least Disadvantageous of Alternatives. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. June 28. (Special.) The Washington State Fair In this city will be held September 29 to October 4, the same dates as the Oregon State Fair at Salem, according to a decision made last night by J. H. Perkins, of Ritzville, Wash., newly ap pointed head of the state agricultural commission, after a public meeting in the Yakima Commercial Club rooms. The alternatives were to have It conflict with the Spokane Interstate Fair, with the Walla Walla fair er the Oregon State fair at Salem. Veteran Balloonist at Cliehalis. CHEHAXJS, Wash., June 2S.
