TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 2. 191 G. 13 WOOD SHORTAGE NOTED LUST YEAR Letter by E. A. Fearing to The , Oregonian in August Sug gests Discrepancy. CITY'S FIGURES RIDICULED Charge Made That Profits Went to Man That Sold Stumpage, Man - Who Ted Cutters and. to Con tractors Who Did Hauling. That the recently-discovered short ese of 1100 cords o the city's wood at unemployment camp No. 2. near Linn ton, was just as much a shortage last July as it is now, is the declaration of E. A. Fearing, of Portland, who re ports that he had occasion to look over the wood in the timber last Sum mer. At that time he wrote a letter to The Oregonion, " which was pub lished, calling attention to the short age. He said the city claimed to have 10.000 cords on hand and paid for that amount, while as a matter of fact cas ual observation showed that there was less than 0000 cords. "Our able Commissioners are search ins frantically in the timber and along the flume for the missing 1100 cords of wood," says Mr. Fearing. "Last July I had occasion to look over the wood in the timber and discovered what any comnetent wood man would have seen. that the wood was far short of meas urement. Reference Made to Letter. "Under date of August 1, 1915, I wrote a communication to The Orego nian, which was published, stating that there was less than 9000 cords in the timber, and that the city would realize less than one-half of the $58,000 which It declared was the value thereof. I wish to acknowledge my error as to the value, for I see by the Auditor's last report that the city has spent $66,415 in the enterprise, and has real ized $15,054." In his letter published in The Orego nian last August Mr. Fearing said in part: "It is amusing to note that the City of Portland claims an asset to the amount of $58,000 in 10.000 cords of wood which the city has on hand to be sold to the public. "After this 10,000 cords of wood, or, we had better say, this supposed 10,000 cords of wood, has been disposed of. the -city will find that the expense of hiring guards, solicitors and collectors and the loss from unpaid accounts, will leave less than half of this amount of $58,000. Shortage Is Asserted. "In the first place, the city paid for cutting and hauling 10,000 cords, when In fact, it will measure up less than 0000 cords. If the city attempts to put this wood upon the market at the fame measurements on which it paid, it will be subjected to hundreds of fines for short measure. "The fellow who sold the stumpage, the fellow who fed the men and the fellow who does the hauling all get a nice slice out of it. I am told, that the man who fed these cutters got a nice profit of $3000. So, all in all, the city will hardly realize enough out of this enterprise to ..repay the $28,000 which was appropriated for hauling the wood." Commissioner Bigelow Is still on the hunt for the missing wood. He hopes to be able to find some solution of the problem, but as yet it is as much a mystery as when the shortage was first discovered.

Both associations have agreed to file telegrams at 9:15 that evening giving the closing figures of the con test. Not to be caught napping a second time, the "Du Plunx" team, under the leadership of Colonel O. M. Davidson, yesterday rallied their men at the noon-day luncheon and turned in al most double the number secured by Colonel Ed TVerlein's "Woimceas." The score was 84 applications for the Du Plunx to 46 from the Woimceas. The campaign has been gradually warming up during the week, more en thusiasm being noticeable on Saturday than at any other tlm, and it is be lieved that with a good, strong push on the part of every citizen of Port land, the final count will place the fig ure ahead of last year, when 1100 mem bers were secured. Boys Secure Members. A feature of the membership cam paign that is just beginning to attract attention is the work of the 300 boys under 15 years of age, who have vol unteered to "rustle" for boy members. A number of prizes have been donated by Olds. Wortman &. King, and the struggle for possession of the trophies is keen. Donald Bennett. 650 East ""Aider street, was the winner of a catching glove, offered to the boy who brought in the most applications up to Wednes day night. Prizes jet to be awarded include all the paraphernalia required to outfit a baseball team. This con test is being guided by IT. G. Walsh. Numerous donations of memberships for boys were reported at. the noon day meeting yesterday. The American Can Company, Through its manager, F. P. Kendall, purchased 10 boys' mem berships, and is understood to intend awarding them among the families of employes. At the beginning of the campaign a.

Art Academy. Here he won the Euro pean scholarship, so that during the years of 1889 and '93 he studied in Munich and Paris. For several years he illustrated for some of the greatest American magazines. Many books were made attractive by his works. When the American Museum began to erect the "Habitat Groups," showing American birds, in their homes, they called upon Mr. Horsfall. The result is that 14 of the groups that have become famous for their art and the observance of minute details, bear the signature of Horsfall. "Oregon Is one of the most wonderful states in the Union for game and birds and is practically a virgin field for in vestigation along natural lines," says the artist.

Finley & Son followed suit with a. presentation of three memberships on behalf of their firm. "The thing that strikes me the most forcibly in this campaign is the1 fact that we are interesting the boys," said Secretary Harry Stone. "This morning the office was filled with bright-faced lads, and their eyes fairly glistened as we went about assigning them." J. C.
