ALL LINES SHOW SHORTAGE 4 V- - ii' f? Additional Equipment Being: Sent to Lines "Will Help Delixeries Even More, Says Report. THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND. JULY till ft- i . -w m Mill owners of the northwest were favored with an easier car supply during- the past vewU but face a serious situation in the dwindling- of stocks, acording- to the -weekly review of the "West Coast Lumbermen's association. Shipment and production records for t lie week were the heaviest of any week thia year. The association mills shipped 93.181. 568 feet of lumber, of which 04,770,000 feet went by rail. During- the week the mills produced 81,601,667 feet of lum ber and held new acceptances down to 74.2S3.&S4 feet. Stocks GO Per Cent Low. The association's monthly report of mill stocks shows unprecedented short ages in practically all of the so-called index items. The mills came into the year with stocks approximating- 85 per cent of normal, but notwithstanding active production for seven months, these stocks have now been reduced to about 60 per cent of normal. The car shortage materially eased up, through the co-operative efforts of the railroad administration in sup plying this territory with equipment and the mills in loading equipment as heavily as possible. The association's advice is that the railroad administra tion is now delivering 7000 of the new administration box cars to Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. These will be assigned to Pacific northwest territory, and in addition to the box cars coming in, considerable supply of open equipment will be moved in from California, Burlington and Union Pa cific points. The shortage has been particularly severe in recent weeks along the line of the Great Northern, but now there are 1300 box cars moving west over the Great Northern between the Cascades and Cut Bank, Mont. It is feared that restricted car supply will again pre vail in the month of September and that the car shortage will be acute in October. Shipments Exceed Production. Last week 129 miles produced within 9 per cent of normal. This under the pressure of a general desire of mill operators to expedite deliveries as cars became more readily available. Ship ments for the week exceeded actual production by 14 per cent. Tn the cargo trade, coastwise load ings totaled 12,289,374 feet; while over seas loadings totaled S.717.9S7 feet. There has been decided activity in ex port business, with free buying on the present export base prices. The extent of the export business at the present time is limited only by the availability of tonnage. FIRE SITUATION IMPROVES OXLY OXE XEW BLAZE IX FOR ESTS REPORTED . Prosecution of Four Persons Who Licit Camp Fires Burning to Be Sought by Official. m4tr". rfT v J ,.' V -? V -. -i'v -'t 3., - - - With only one new fire reported in the northwest, forest service officials were certain yesterday that the situa tion was much improved and that -with present weather conditions there is lit tle danger of the blazes gaining any great headway. A close watch Is to be kept today, particularly alone the Columbia high way, for cam p fires, as three or four have been reported daily along1 trails leading from the main road. Were it not for the careful patrol serious dam ape would probably have resulted. The only new fire in Oregon and Washington yesterday was in the Kainier reserve on the Cispus river. Jt is in the high mountains and extremely difficult to approach. The tract now burning covers 1500 acres and contains timber valuable chiefly as watershed. Should a wind rise there is danger of the flames reaching better timber. A small crew of local men is fighting the fire. The blaze on the John Day river in the Whitman forest has been placed under control after 9000 acres were burned over. In the yellow pine west of Yakima In the Rainier reserve the flames have not yet been controlled. Lightning fires In southern Oregon and one in the Ochoco have been suc cessfully checked. In the Oregon Na tional forest several Kmall blazes are feebly struggling along, one on the up per Clackamas, another on Badger mountain west of Dufur and others on the Salmon river. Supervisor T. H Sherrard said little damage has been done, particularly on the Salmon river, whera the flames spread over an old burn. Mr. Sherrard said that as soon as the fires are quieter and men can be brought In, four prosecutions will be carried ont by the forest service against persons who failed extinguish camp fires. of ffepsteiz OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL- LEGE, Corvallis. July 26. (Spe-j cial.) Amputated legs, lost eye- ' sight, shattered arms and many other injuries are but trifles now to the dis abled soldiers being educated at the college by the government. Most of them say they were much discouraged while in the hospitals, but since under taking work to fit them for useful service in their communities they are happy and enjoy life as, much as ever. That they are ambitious is proved by the stories j a few of them. Two weeks to live was the decree of specialists. That was seven months ago. Today Lorain R. Markle is active and interested in his horticultural studies. "Injuries received while in France seriously affected my heart," he said. "Physicians say now I may live to a ripe old age with care in exercise. I was doing active physical work before entering the service and to be a student of theories and books at first seemed hard." Mr. Markle Is enthusiastic over his work and optimistic about the future. He is married and his home is in St Louis. Blindness Faced Calmly. With total blindness almost inev itable in the near future. Homer R. Fleming keeps his courage steadfast and is cheerfully confident that what ever happens he can make good at something. While in service In France he received injuries causing, blindness. His sight returned, but oculists have told him that it will be only a matter of time until he will be totally blind. He is taking a regular course in agri culture. Fleming admits he was much dis couraged for a time, but he feels now that if he is unable to continue his ag ricultural studies othel work suitable to his abilities can be found. His opti mism and determination are an inspira tion to those about him. Standing on a wooden leg most of the day does not bother Ralph S. Boyer of Philadelphia, who chose O. A. C. for his training at the expense of Uncle Sam. He is studying farm mechanics and likes it better than anything he has ever done. Legless Bat Cheerful. While on board a ship in search of submarine mines near the Hawaiian islands Boyer's leg was cut off by an automatic anchor. He said life looked dismal the nine months he was in the hospital, but everything Is fine now. He takes great pleasure in discussing the merits of his wooden leg. Ho ex pects to be in a, machine shop after his course at the college is finished. Robert V. Stephens is studying but ter and cheese making. Stephens was wounded four times in his right arm and lost his right eye through in juries received from mustard-seed shrapnel. He owned and lived on a ranch be- .y9 I -1 , I I 4 ? : 1 i -. ?. v- ViV j f fc-; st- .1 . , ; ' .. .' ?. fore entering the service. He like dairying and expects to work in a cheese factory or creamery after bla couree at the college is finished. Ste phens is married and his home is Ta coma. Wash. William H. Hill of Eugene is taking advanced tractor mechanics and animal husbandry. Hill was in the navy and in an electrical explosion on shipboard was badly burned about the left hand and arm. He was in the hospital nine months and lost his thumb and the use of his wrist. He says he likes the work and expects to be a tractor salesman or manager of a farm when his course is -completed. Hill is a quiet chap I and a hard worker. Marriage Salts Brander. To get married and settle down on farm of his own after his vocational work at the college is finished are the plans of Alexander Brander of Hepp ner. Brander was injured by shrapnel in the second battle of the Marne. He is studying general farm work and specializing in animal husbandry. A I piece of the shrapnel taken from, his I back he has made into a watch fob. Brander is a merry-hearted Scotchman I and cheers up everyone around him. E. M. Barrett of Ashland, disabled while in service In France, had "pep enough to return, to high school one week after his arrival home. His trouble is a strained heart. He is spe cializing in animal husbandry. The other disabled men taking work at the college are James J. Eaden. Kmil F. Koskanvaara, J. J. Jennings, H. W. Markart, Horace D. McGirr, Al bert B.

OAKLAND FARM IS SOLD Montana Man Purchases Chenowlth Ranch for $47,000. As a result of correspondence "be tween the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce and Ralph J. Kveleth of Stanford. Mont., a deal was closed Kri day whereby Mr. Eveleth purchased the Chenowlth ranch of 1S96 acres near Oakland for the sum of $47,400 cash. The deal is one of the largest cash transactions reported from that section this year. Under the plan of the state chamber of commerce, information is sent from Inquirers to its members. As a result of this. Mr. Eveleth's inquiry received a number of answers offering proper ties all over the state. The Montana ranchman visited Ore gon and found that the farm near Oak land appealed to him. So, the cash transaction of $47,400 was closed Fri day. Mr. Eveleth left at once for his old home and will return to Oregon in about two weeks prepared to make his home. The number of inquiries from pros pective home-seekers received at the office of the state chamber of com merce during the last month Is reported as more than double the number re ceived in any previous month.

I TO L,A:N U at 'on au rnnce nasjusi been our privilege and it gave us a never-to-be-forgotten day. We went off the steamship Colon (bound from New York to the canal zone), about ? o'clock in the morning to wander through the streets of the queer town: first to the administration generate de postes the postoffice for some stamps and to learn the run of the money. Their unit is the "gourde." worth 10 cents gold. It is divided into 100 "cents" in denominations that I col lected as follows: 1. 2 (both copper), 5. 10. 20 and 50 (all nickel). There may be others. They have the money and I believe the stamps made in the United States of America. The io-ceniime piece is about the size of our 5u-cent piece, but is worth only 10 cents gold. The s---ntirr.e oiece is about the size of our dime, but is worth only 1 cent gold. The stamps are au surcnargea oi tno "local" series or those for internal use. The "international" series are rather good looking. Proceeding on our jaunt.we saw the street car. It is an open conveyance, drawn by a funny little locomotive. As we were dressed in "whites" we did not venture the experience of a ride. The arcade style of architecture was everywhere in vogue, the second story being built out over the sdewalk and supported by a row of pilars or "stilts" along the curb. This universal custom is most acceptable, affording, as it does, much needed shade. For while the sun itself is hot, there was a breeze stirring and one only needed to be in the shade to be real comfortable. Shops Are Barricaded. All the shops are barricaded, the few windows having big iron protectors for them like the doors for the en trances. Even the front yards were all walled in because of the etreet fighting that often used to occur. There are practically no glass windows, shut ters being used to close tne space. vnr however, the marines are in charge of Haiti and they are gradual ly bringing things out of chaos al though there is ju? .iow quite a little disturbance back in ihe hills and some of the troops have taken the field against the "cacos," or bolsheviki in guerilla warfare. The sentiment is very pro-France and quite anti-American throughout the interior, though American money is always acceptable along the coast. In the eyes of the natives 5 cents gold is a large sum and they will per form wonders for this amount even to posing for a picture. This means much, for most of them are very camera-shy. The natives speak Creole French and only a few can understand English, but they are certainly out for the shekels. Continuing on our way we passed an Episcopal church and Just as the black chorus and rector were executing the processional. A little farther on we came upon the Champ de Mars, a large public square, at one end of which I the president's palace a huge, pile under construction for four years al ready, but with only one wing just completed. The president's sentiments. It is said, are, "when the marines leave, I leave, too." Passing the palace, near which are the marines' barracks, we went along in front of the French legation. Rows of marvelous cocoanut and sago palms were flanked by banana trees from which hung great bunches of fruit though still green. Every garden was flaunting some glorious and, to us. strange variety of flower; poinsettias, roses, cannas. cacti, among those we knew. But there were more that we didn't know the names of than those we did. Splendid carmines and other shades of red were the most common and made the scene most striking. Children. Are Plenum!. The exports are mainly- coffee, sugar and dye-wood. While we didn't see any of these growing, we eaw quan tities reaWy for shipment. The women sit half r.aked on a huge stack of coff fee-beans (raw) sorting them over one by one. Imagine, right In the street, and without one thought of cleaning themselves for the task. In the market, meats were being sold in small pieces apparently every part of every sort of animal being represented! And flies! Oh! But on the whale the city la remark ably clean and tidy. There seemed to be more children than adults. We were never out of sight of someone carry ing a head-burden, all through the downtown districts. It might have been here that the story originated about the negroes who used wheel barrows only to balance the load on their heads the better! The population is of course entirely black with the exception of a few Americans and French. We saw the women coming back from the creek with "wet wash" piled in a bundle on each head. A moment later we came to the stream a mere thread of water which served as the cleansing medium for "all hands," and there were a dozen in sight within 200 feet and all busy at the seemingly impossible.

The next morning there was time to visit the penitentiary which proved ex tremely Interesting. The most re markable thing about the place was its cleanliness. The kitchen was scrubbed so thoroughly that one could almost have eaten off the "deck." The food is cooked in large saucepans each over a charcoal grate, there being nothing to stop the heat between flame and kettle.
