THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 23, 1922 9 FI STILL CREEK 1 G Blaze Now Turned Toward Benson Plateau. BULL RUN RESERVE SAFE Scout Camp Believed to Be in No Danger; Hood Kiver Val ley Reported Menaced. RUMOR SAYS HARDINGS ARE TO BORROW SUMMER HOME Suburban Residence of Edward Beals McLean Said to Have Been Offered President and First Lady of Land for Vacation Period. I The Herman creek forest fire has not yet been checked, say reports brought to the forest service offices by agents who have visited the scene,, where large crews of men are fighting the flames. However, the conflagration has turned in the di rection of the Benson plateau, which is an open, flat country, and offers the best opportunity yet seen for checking the blaze. A. O. Waha, assistant district forester, who returned from the scene of the fire yesterday, said the outlook for staying the progress of the blaze was slightly better. He had not personally visited the top of Benson flat, but he believed the fighters had a chance to check it now. He said that no danger threatened the Bull Run water reserve thus far, and because of 'the open coun try intervening the blaze could hardly menace that region. Neither Is the Scout camp in any danger, unless unexpected developments oc cur in the progress of the blaze. The Scout officials have not as yet seen fit to remove the boys from the lake and declare they are in absolute safety where they are. Blaze Working Eastward. The fire was reported spreading to the east. The western part of the burn around Wahtum lake was under complete control. The blaze, driven by a stiff northwest wind, was rapidly approaching Hood River valley. It had crossed Brush creek and was raging on Mount Defiance. Beyond the old Stanley Smith mill at Green Point it was out of control. Chief Forest Ranger Sherrard warned ranchers in that section to leave. Fighters were reported needed but not responding to calls. Hood River valley was said, to be menaced. C. C. Scott, of the Forest Fire Pa trol association, made a flight yes terday with one of the government patrol planes over the fire areas of Columbia and Tillamook' counties to satisfy himself as to the general as pect of the fires in private timber lands. With the airman he went west and south over the Cascades, flew over the fires at Timber, Coch ran, Belding and Wolf creek. Then .they turned- north into Columbia county and surveyed the situation there. Mr. Scott said the fire situation, as far as could be determined from observation, looked very much Det- ter. smoke was still rising, but none of the fires was driving at all. He said that heavy fog banks could be seen hanging on the coast and at me moum 01 tne Columbia river seemed to extend about 15 miles in land. What is desired at present is that the moisture will move farther inland. Kain Would Save Timber. "A rain now would save every ining, declared Mr. Scott yester day. Word was received from the m. trol agency man in Columbia county mai ne nad tne situation well hand and that he was letting the bulk of his fighters go, retaining only enough men to guard the fire lines. This is an indication of better conditions. In western Cowlitz county, Wash ington, report came from the East ern & Western Lumber company that its holdings which were renort- ed to be menaced by fire are wU protected, ine entire crews of the company have at times been engaged in opposing the progress of the blazes in the western section of the county, and have finally erot the situation in hand to the extent of Keeping nre out of the company's sianuing timDer. BY BETTY BAXTER. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) ASHINGTOX, D. C, July 22. (Special.) Rumors, rumors, the air at Washington is always full of rumors of many, sorts and varieties. The latest about the president is that he and Mrs. Hard ing have decided to borrow rather accept as a summer White House the loan of "Friendship," the sub urban home of the Edward Beals McLeans in Cleveland park, a sec tion so-called because it was in that neighborhood that the late Presi dent Cleveland once had his summer home. The McLeans have many homes one in the very heart of the town in I street on the corner of Fifteenth, where they spend part of each winter when they aren't in their Florida home. ' They spend week-ends and parts of the spring and fall at their farm in Leesburg, Va., where the president visits them once in a while. McLeans Always Invited. However, it is thought rumored that they will probably pass a week-end or maybe longer with the McLeans at their smart Maine resort before they return for the winter. President and Mrs. Harding had planned to spend last week-end at Hot Springs, Va., and the Mc Leans were to have been in the party they are generally in; at least invited, on all of the Harding parties, formal or informal. When President and Mrs. Harding found they could not get away, the Mc Leans started north, where Mrs. McLean and the children will stay until autumn, Mr. McLean running back and forth.- Affairs of state are so pressing right now that not only the president, but all of his cabinet, had to stay in the city this week-end.- The Woodrow Wilsons are braving the heat and are staying on in Washington. They have a charm- ng home on the heights of the city. with spacious -gardens and veranda, and they take a motor car ride together every afternoon. Mrs. Wilson told a friend of mine the other day that Mr. Wilson was im proved in a manner little ehort of WASHINGTON FIRES WORSE Heavy Winds Fan Blazes in For ests in Western Section. OLYMPIA, Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.) Heaity westerly winds late Friday again fanned up the waning forest fires in western Washing- ion ana today Brought several re ports of new damage and further tnreatened losses. xno inci,ieary Lumber company fire, west of Summit lake, is running who in green timber close to stand ot timber valued at about i,uuu,uuu. it was reported. So far tne lire has bu?ned on the ground, out unattended is likely to be car ried to tne crowns. State and lum ber crews today attemDted to cut a trail four miles long to head off the Bordeaux Lumber company fire 18 miles south of OlymDia. which has already burned over 640 acres of logged-off land and has swept ine ground clean under 160 acres o timber. Another furious blaze is burning in the old Union Timber company works west of Oakville. ' This fire is unattended because of the short age of men.- A fire along the McCleary road. nine miles west of here, endangered passing automobiles Thursday and yesterday. Tne blaze burned up steep Diutf trom the roadside. Sev eral huge snags tumbled from 300 to 500 feet down the bluff on the road before the fire was corraled. One snag 200 feet high dropped 350 feetonto the road, missing a pass ing automobile by only a few inches. All Stevens county . fires broke away last night under a heavy wind after the fire forces had just about regained control of the situation, which they lost a week ago. Cool, cloudy weather today en abled the forces in western Wash ington to regain partial control of the fires which broke out last night. BLUE RIVER FIRE SPREADING front of his home as a demonstra tion of admiration for him, a spon taneous demonstration which went straight to his heart and literally put new life in him. ' tlll Plenty Doin'. There is still plenty "doin' " here, although most entertaining is very quiet and impromptu. The Spanish ambassador and lime. Riano had a few guests for dinner Monday night. Vice-President and Mrs. Coolidge are frequently guests at some informal luncheon or dinner, too. They dined one night -with Harry S. Lyons of Boston at the New Willard hotel; and at another time Mrs. Coolidge was the guest of Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh at a box party at a ball game given' for the Boys' club of Washington,; for which society turned out in aston ishing numbers. ' The night Mrs. Coolidge dined with Mr. Lyons she had on a cool looking gown all of white chiffon. made with the bateau neck line cut high and with the long waistline. the long skirt with the uneven hem and skimpy draperies of chiffon down each side of the skirt. There were no sleeves to the gown. Lovely Gowns Seen. Mme. De Cespedes, wife of the Cuban minister, is wearing a hand some evening gown of gold brocade and blue satin combined with gold colored chiffon. The bodice is formed of chiffon edged with hand some cream lace. Miss Flaminfa Sarmieto, her daughter, and a deb utante of last season, wore re cently a gown of gold yellow chif fon made in petal effect with slashed short sleeves and bateau neck line. Mrs. John A. Lejeune, wife of the major-general com mandant of the marine corps, wore at one of the recent informal teas a gown of silver tissue made with gray lace in panel effect.. With it she wore a hat, a large gray one trimmed with flowers. Miss Laura Lejeune and Miss Eu genia Lejeune, who are popular members of the younger set here, frequently dress alike. They have silk sport dresses cut on the smart low waist line with round collars and very short sleeves which come marvelous since the armistice-day I much above the elbow. They wear celebration last November, when I round' silk sport hats with these thousands of citizens gathered in dresses. AUSTRALIANS WATCH LABOR TROUBLES HERE CLOSELY. Experience in . Antipodes Shows Walkouts to Be Failure When Government Takes Hold. BY JACK MYERS. (Chicago Tribune ForeiR-n News Service. Copyright. 1922, by the Chicago Tribune.) SYDNEY, July 22. The news of the various strikes in the United States is arousing the keen est interest here, in view of the past industrial conflict in differ ent parts of the commonwealth. The history of Australian strikes of large proportions shows that they invariably we're crushed when the government acted firmly and had the support of the general public. In 1917 a strike on the New South Wales railways and street car lines, which the government owns, and which was extended to shipping and other industries, failed for this reason. A large body ot volun teers assisted in maintaining the public services. Farmers came from the country and encamped in Sydney where the complete organ ization of volunteer labor proved highly successful. The Sydney Herald points out that American labor is not organ ized politically, as in most British communities, and there are few representatives in the legislature to plead labor's cause and to en force its rights. The paper ex presses satisfaction that Australia's homogeneous population does not present the difficulties encountered through unassimilated immigrants, who have not yet learned self discipline and civic spirit, and" who prove to be inflammable material, yielding readily to unscrupulous agitators. Garland Gift of Million Flabbergasts Paris. Mont Parnaase Is Envious of Greenwich Village. BY GRANT GORDON. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) (The receipt of the report in Paris that Charles Garland ha decided to turn hia unwelcome inheritance of $1,000,000 over to Greenwich Village for an artists' fund has flabbergasted Parts and Mr. Gordon describes the manner in which the news was received and the feeling of jealousy that it created in artiatlc Mont Parnasse.) PARIS, July 22. (Special Cable.) "Holy paint boxes!" fairly shouted "Whistler Velasquez Mc Nibbs as, sipping his morning cof fee this afternoon at a table before the Cafe du Dome, ne scanned an item in the newspaper spread be fore him on the table. "Here's a guy that's endowed Greenwich Vil lage with a million dollars." An excited crowd nastily garn ered. McNibbs, flourishing his pa per, was the center of attention as he 'hastily read the. details. The news spread like foil on a palette and soon not only the dome but the rotunda of this and all other cafes! in the quarter were reeking with it. Pencils, crayons, bits of chalk and stubs of charcoal were brought into use to figure out how much that million represented at the current rate of exchange. The results were not all equal, but none were smalL Mont Parnasse is not a volcano, but it went into eruption with in dignation and envy. There was a general feeling that Charles Gar land had bestowed a downright slight by presenting this sum to a despised imitator of this, the only real Bohemia. What Mont Parnasse will do about, it is uncertain. At the mo ment it is inarticulate with rage. Sculptors sit and model Garland in bread, then obliterate him ignomln iously with great gobs of butter. Mont Parnasse teels that wnen it omes to freedom and unconvention ally whether artistic, sartorial, tonsorial or matrimonial Green wich Village is an impostor. ' "Why!" exclaimed a demure Par nassian damsel, "most of us fled from the Village to escape its silly restraints. They think they re devils if they have rum in a teacup or mention chemises in public with out looking self-conscious, and be tween us," she lowered her voice, "they're most of them married; se cretly, yeu know. They pretend they're not, whereas over here " "Furthermore," broke in an ama zon in corduroy trousers . and a smoking jacket, "I knew a girl in Greenwich who dressed in men's clothes who wore lacy things un derneath. Awfully sissy! I wear regular athletics myself.'" Envy and rancor are gnawing eJL Mont Parnasse's vitals. "Oh, for a million dollars," the residents sigh, "and we would show Greenwich Village who's who in freedom!" I conducted the services. Miss Hul- burt was 36 years old. She was born near Albany and lived most of her life in . and near this city until a few years ago, when she moved to Portland,-" where she had followed the millinery profession. Besides her mother, the deceased is survived by one sister. Mrs. E. M. Bailey. ? Funeral services were held Wed nesday, July 19, for Mrs. E. M. Bailey, wile of Dr. A. B. -"Bailey of Portland. Mrs. Bailey died Mon day at her home, 170 Vista avenue.

Mrs. Bailey was a graduate of Pacific University and of Snell Seminary, .Oakland, Cal. She was an accomplished musician. She was married to Dr. Bailey in Hills boro, her birthplace, 25 years ago. For the past ten years she made her home in Portland where she took an active part in social at fairs. . ' - She was a member of the Mc Dowell club and the Thursday morning Art class. The body was taken to Hillsboro where the con eluding services were held. Levi Daniel Coffman.

Senate Majority Necessary for Overriding President Said to Be Lacking. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D.- C, July 22. The soldiers' bonus bill cannot be passed in the senate over President Harding's veto, according to claims made by some senators who are can vassing the situation to ascertain the outcome in the event the execu tive refuses to accept the bill in its present form. . The canvass, it was stated, dis closed 30 senators who will vote to sustain a , presidential veto. That three additional senators who will join them can be found is the ex pectation of this group. If 33 sen ators vote to sustain a veto it will be impossible to obtain the neces sary two-thirds to pass the bill. Reports in circulation among sen ators are to the effect that Presi dent Harding has recently told three of his callers, none of whom was senator, that he will veto the bill It is the president's belief, according to these reports, that sentiment against bonus legislation has been steadily increasing in the country and that the bill as reported from the senate finance committee is hopelessly objectionable. The pres ident has1 notr discussed the bonus situation recently with senators, and until the pending coal and railroad strikes are ;out of the way there is no expectation of his doing so.

Blaze Must Not Be Started in National Forest Unless Right Is First Obtained. Automobilisls and others who go out ofr a camping trip today should be careful not to build a camp fire in forest reserve territory without a permit obtained . either from, the forest ranger in charge or from the Portland office of the forest serv ice, according to a warning which has been issued by forest headquar ters. . Owing to the danger of forest fires during th present period of extreme dry weather, this new rul ing has been issued. The ruling, it was said yesterday, would be en forced until rains put an end to the further danger from fires. There are places along the Co lumbia river highway between Bon neville and Eagle creek and beyond Eagle creek where the forest re serve comes down to the highway and so persons planning on camping along that roadway should be sure to select either a place outside the national forest or obtain a camp fire permit. The Trails club, through its pres ident, R. J. Grace, is assisting the forest service in notifying autolsts and campers of the new ruling. Read The Oregonian classified ads. Railroaders Help Harvest.
