Grants Pass, Or.. July 25. fBpecial.) Badly out up and bruised from briars and brush of the forest, Joe Knowles bas been located and spoken to. Ha Is alive and welt He bas had food In plenty, so far as could be seen. He refused to speak to those who saw him but he waved a string- of fish he had on a branch and looked happy and almost contented. Ray Brings, who has a hydraulic mine on Sucker Creek and who is now camping: on Grizzly Creek, James Fren dln. of Holland, and J. II. Brown, of Seattle, were the three men who stum bled upon Knowles about ten miles from the Knowles Camp Thursday. The news was brought to camp by these men yesterday as they passed over the divide on their way into Oregon. Odd Footpriats Attract. Thursday afternoon," said Frendln, we were poking- along- Indian Creek trail when we noticed peculiar print In the soft soil along- the bank. They did not look like the marks of shoes r anything- we had ever seen. It may earn strange but they looked more like the tracks of a wild animal, but what wild animal we bad not the slightest Ides. "Going- on we followed the tracks and suddenly in front of us something white loomed up through the brush then the full flg-ure of a practically naked man came into view. I knew In an Instant it was Knowles. for I had read in The Oregonian about the ex perlment he was to make. Kiowlea Carries F1h. "When we got up close enough we aw that his feet were encased in some kind of sandal, made apparently from bark, with the soles of wood. It is not at all stranpe the tracks puzzled us for I understand Knowles has no knife and that he cut the soles out with a stone. "He was carrying a small string of fish on a forked branch and as we spoke to him he waved them at us. as much as to say: 'You see I am not starving- yet." "One of us yelled: "Hello, Knowles.' as we came in sight of him. but he did not reply to us. He looked around, shook the fish and In an instant plunged into the brush out of sight. Leci Covered With Bark. "His body was madly marked by the thorns and briars, but his legs were apparently covered with bark of some kind which was wound around and around in the manner of a legging. He looked well and apparently he was not starving. I couldn't count the fish on the stick but he had several, but they were quite small." Joe has told me over and over again that there was one thing he was not capable of doing, and that was to eat raw fish. "I simply can't do it. and if I do not get anything but fish and have no lire I shall have to give up the ex periment," he said. It is natural to suppose, therefore, that he has fire and was on his way to his den or shelter when he was met by the three men. Dr. Waterman Confident. It would seem as though Dr. Water man and Professor Edwards would be able to pick up the trail easily now. Both these men are in the forest all day, and as yet no report as to Knowles actual experience has been received at camp. Yesterday, before the two men left the camp on a search for Joe, or for some record he may have left on the trail. Dr. Waterman said this: "The nights since Tuesday have all been cold even in camp, and I am of the opinion that Knowles has had suf ficient time to show whether he can stand the climate or not. He must have succeeded in getting fire and a place to sleep comfortably, or I am of the opinion he would have been back in camp by this time." Knowles has repeatedly said that he Would not go into the woods to die; that if he found he could not live either because of the climate or from lack of food, be would come out and acknowl edge himself beaten. That he has not returned, and it is now live nights he bas spent naked in the forest, would seem to prove that he has found shel ter, warmth and food of some charac ter. Knowles to Prospect, Too. All the men in this country are gold craxy. Pocket hunters they are called until they make their strike, and the fever has even entered the Knowles camp. Joe himself said before he went Into the woods that he intended doing a little prospecting himself. It is but a short way from the camp to where the first gold was discovered in Oregon in 1SD2 by sailors who deserted from their ship at Crescent City and came into the mountains to search for the metal. Bert Lambert, the photographer of the party, has purchased a pan and spends most of his time trying to pan gold when he isn't using the same pan to wash dishes. In this manner the camp has kept up a little Interest in things since Joe disappeared. The tale of the three prospectors brought Joy to everyone. There Is not one In the party. Including the two university professors, who does not believe that Knowles will make good, but the time hung heavy waiting for the first news. The conditions are so different from what they are in the Maine woods and the climate so much more severe at night that fears were freely expressed during the first two days that be could never stand it. Those who know Knowles well know that he will not give up without a fight and some fight at that. Loaeaomeneaa In Specter. One of the prospectors who came into camp yesterday told the story of a real wild man who lived In these forests some years ago. The story goes that be was disappointed in love and hiked off Into the mountains to be alone and away from everyone. At last tiring of tbe lonesomeness of the woods he made nia way into Holland to stay lor short time and while In the little store he met a woman. He backed out and beat it for the woods again and did not return until a searching party iound him, a raving lunatic from lone someness, took him out and sent him to an asylum. ine only fear Knowles seemed to have before he went into the woods was the lonesomeness of the forest. He did dread that and he said so time and again. "Weeping Fir" Sought. Before Knowles went into the forest he was told by a man he met of a tree known as the "weeping fir." Accord ing to report the tree is almost price less and grows in but two parts of the world, the Slskiyous and in Norway. Joe said before he left that he would make a search for that tree and if found would have a shelter that would be worth Its weight in gold and would, If be could, make a suit of its bark, the price of which would shame any tailor on the Pacific Coast. Dr. Waterman and Professor Ed wards have been pursuing the study of nature from their viewpoints for the past day or so. Professor Edwards is writing a book on the habits of wild animals and after the hours spent in the woods he sits by the camp lire at night and writes. Dr. waterman Is armed with a book on Mexican archeology to pass the evenings and he is also correcting proofs for the University of California. It is the strangest stght that this for est has ever been the stage for those two learned men at work. It is a far cry from the primitive to telling the Story of the world's advance from the time men fed and clothel themselves as Joe Knowles is doing within a dozen miles from them. Si Hie, the guide, goes to the camp again tomorrow and it is hoped by that time that first real news of what Knowles is doing will be available. He promised to send some word to the world as soon as he had found food and shelter, and as he apparently has both, the readers of The Oregonian should hear directly from him within a day or so. Hie will return to the out side world on Monday.

EDWARDS, Head of Natur Study Department, Los Angeles Schools. KNOWLES CAMP. Klamath National Forest, July 24. via Grants Pass, Or., July 25. (Special.) No one need fear that Knowles will suffer hunger In this test. He told me at different times of many plant products available for the primitive man's table. The root of the wild artichoke may be eaten raw. It looks like a small sweet potato, being of about that size and tastes more or less like a sweet radish. The plant It self resembles a wall sunflower. One of the ferns has a number of fronds springing' from the same part of the underground stem. The new fronds. all curled up, form the "heart" of the fern, which is a delicious salad. Water cress also Is easily obtained. The Indians have ground wild acorns Into flour and baked this Into bread during many ages. There are many large tracts of hazel nuts over toward Indian River and Joe will range far and near. For dessert there are wild black berries, raspberries, strawberries and huckleberries. .There are two kinds of wild gooseberles. Besides the ordinary kind there Is a fuzzy one which must be cooked in hot water which softens the spines and makes it Hafe to eat. An after-dinner cigarette may be made from the soft thin bark of the Madrone tree. On this trail coming in we saw especially large specimens of the Ma drone among the sugar pines. We were much disappointed yesterday in not geting a message from Knowles some where along one of the trails. How ever, these first few days of primi tive housekeeping and clothes-makin will be very full and correspondenc by charcoal and bark necessarily 11m ited. S3 S3 Beauty's Protector JSS JSS KNOWLES IS LIKE ESKIMO Nature-Man Follows Far-North Plan to Jab Fish. BY DR. T. T. WATERMAN. University of California. KNOWLES' CAMP. Klamath National Forest. July 24, via Grants Pass, Or. July 25. (Soeclal.) I cannot help not ing. as Mr. Knowles shows me some of his tricks and devices, how closely they compare with those of the Eskimo The fact seems to be that Knowles ingenious and resourceful. The Eskimo are noted among ethnologists for the superior cunning and elaboration of their tools and implements. I might add to the Eskimo type of flredrill which Mr. Knowles invented for him self, another Implement which he makes in Eskimo fashion. He de scribed to me the other day his way of making a spear for small fish. When his explanation was hardly more than started I recognized what he was driving at and told him I could com plete his description myself. His de vice consists of a sharp barb, which is driven into the fish. To lift the ani mal out of the water, there are two side strips, elastic-armed, with inward pointing barns. The hunter slips up to a bank below which the fish are swimmirrg and Jabs straight down for one of them. When the fish is struck the two side pieces spring out and then close on him. The point meanwhile prevents him from slipping endways, and he is held hard and fast. This type of 6pear is useful for Ilsh which are too small to be struck with the ordi nary two-pronged spear. It is interesting to note how Knowles' necessity has driven him to make es sentially the same device which the Eskimo have elaborated as the result of the experience of generations. STRIKES LEAD TO FAILURE Nine Arkansas Ooal Companies riace Selves In Receivership. FORT SMITH, Ark., July 25. Nine Sebastian County coal comranies and their holding company, the Bache-Den- man Coal Company, of this city, were placed under a receivership today on voluntary application to Federal Judge loumans.

EDUCATORS TO ANGLE BIG MILL IS BURNED "ANIMAL DANGER SMALL" E. I). Hawkins Tells of Methods for Procuring Food and Clothing Without Use or Implements Provided by Civilization. RAYMOND, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) That Joseph Knowles will make good In his 30-day forest retreat is the opinion of K. D. Hawkins, hunter, cruiser and timberman of fills city. "The attempt of Joseph Knowles to spend a month in the forest as an original man Is being watched with Interest by readers of The Oregonian, says Mr. HawKins. ow mat ne is In the forest I predict that Mr. Knowles will make good. In the wilds where the experiment is being made there are no animals which voluntarily at tack man. The common brown bear is an unofrenslve animal; sometimes the female with young cubs will fight for hem. The silver tip or the cinnamon will turn on the hunter when wounded. The cougar is a cowardly animal, hard to trap, has a keen scent and hard to approach. Nearly all the tales of wolves, bear or cougars attacking men are pure Action, 'mere are poisonous snakes in these woods; these and poison oak are the worst enemies Mr. Knowles will meet. Making fire by friction or flints will be the least of Mr. Knowles' troubles. The bark of the cedar, mulberry, elm, linn and many others may be used for sewing and weaving. This writer has seen door mats and even horse collars made from bark. It will be easy for MRaiKnowles to weave shoes, clothing, fish traps and to obtain thongs from trees and vines. Ftsh can be caught by hand in holes; when pursued they will hide and can be picked out. I know of plants which when placed a hole will stupefy fish and cause them to come to the surface helpless. Quail traps can be made with bare hands. Traps for coons can easily be onstructed by hand. To make traps deadfalls or snares to catch bear will be difficult, but I don't doubt but Mr Knowles can do it. Indians catch deer in snares.

These mills have full crews employed. The mills are shipping their product by rail and water. Many ties are milled here and thou sands are shipped each week.

County Attorney Farley says he will notify the Commissioners of Gar field County that a recent decision of the Washington State Supreme Cour.t makes it illegal for the county to ap propriate money to maintain a reading and rest room in Pomeroy. The room which Is now maintained by the W. C. T. IT. is the only rest or reading room In Pomeroy. Members of the W. C. T. U. had asked the County Commissioners for an ap propriation of $600 a year to maintain the room. KALAMA, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) The Mountain Timber Com pany's sawmill was destroyed by fire last night. Tne origin is unknown. The loss Is placed at 1250,000 with insurance of $150,000. Fortunately no wind was blowing at the time, which aided materially in saving the power plant, round house, dock and a number of houses which were adjacent to the plant. A night crew had Just stopped work when the flames were discovered. Extensive improvements had just been completed. The fire was discovered near the boiler room in the mill plant, and when first seen a space 40 feet square was a seething mass of flames. A general alarm was sounded and the crews of the mill as well as the entire popula tion, of the city gathered to fight the flames. The water system of the mill, a most complete and ef fective one, was at once brought into use and with the well-trained crew of the plant did effective work for a time but the flames had secured such headway that all that could be done was to confine the fire to the plant and lumber yard. Help was telephoned for, Portland and other nearby towns being asked to send aid, but before arrangements could be completed to hurry neighboring fire fighting equipment to the scene tne mill was a total loss. The fire con fined to the mill plant burned itself out about 4 o clock this morning, and all that is left of the most important industry in this place is now a smold ering heap of ruins. The mill plant is owned by Nebraska capitalists who erected and equipped it five years ago. It has been one of the busiest mills in the Pacific Northwest, and, having both the best of water and rail transportation, was peculiarly well situated for business. The mill has been working at capacity. The local manager of the mill has not yet been able to hear from all the owners of the big plant as to the course to be pursued, but the general impres sion here is that the mill will be re built at once in time to resume opera tions this Fall. The Monroe City Council soon will be prepared to let contracts for the build ing of several hundred feet of main sewer to be completed this Fall, and also will Invite proposals for the es tablishment of a water supply system Whether to take over and extend the present sytem or to grant a franchise for that purpose has not been deter mined. The acquirement of a system of electric lighting also ia under consideration. IDAHO PARK PLANS MADE Deer and Elk to Be Procured Auto Hoads Laid Out. and BOISE, Idaho, July 25. (Special.)
