Many ot the plants at Akron nd other eaatern centers of the ln ustry turn out Si.OOO or more tires day. Our savings under conditions prevailing In Portland will amount o considerable and this will enable s to put .a little more Into each tire in quality of workmanship and ma- rials and still sen at the same rices of other quality tires."

L. French, director of the state de partment of agriculture. "Last year there was not a thing that even approached a gambling device permitted on the grounds at the state fair at Yakima," said Di rector French. "The result was not, as some predicted, a falling off in attendance. On the direct contrary, the attendance at the state fair last year was the largest by many thousands' of the attendance In any one of the previous 20 years since the fair was established as a sta4e Institution. Fl WILL BE LARGER RECORD EXHIBITES -SLATED FOR WASHINGTON. 6000 Feet of Additional Floor Space Will Be Given Manu facturing Industries. OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) Assurance that the forthcom ing Washington state fair, to be held at Yakima September 18 to 23, will surpass the record-breaking fair of last year in every department was given today by E. L. French, director of agriculture In manu facturing exhibits, livestock, poul try and all other divisions the de mand for space shows that the greatest fair in history may be ex pected, Mr, French said. The manufacturing industries or the state are to be represented on greater scale than ever before and through alterations in the audi torium there will be 6000 feet of 'additional floor space available for these exhibits. The manufacturing display will be located in the most convenient and accessible place. Practically all herds of pure-bred livestock In the etate will be rep resented at the fair and entries have lready been received from some of the best known herds of Aberdeen Angus and Herefords, as well as Shorthorns. The showing of dairy herds promises to be even better than last year, with several new names on the entry lists. Washing ton State college and Oregon Agri cultural college will have the best of their various herds at the show. The poultry educational show this year will differ from that or last year in one important respect. This year the work will be the manage ment of a flock of baby chicks.

That the national forests of Montana and northern Idaho will be called upon kwithin the next few years to fur nish the majority of telephone and telegraph poles used in the east is th belief of forestry officials as a result of the inroads made by the chestnut blight on the timber sup ply in that section. According to forestry officials, Montana and Idaho now are ship ping large quantities of poles to the Atlantic seaboard. There is con siderable cedar in Montana anJ the supply is as -yet practically un touched, it Is said. The forest serv ice is making a study of the taper and growth of cedar in Montana and Idaho, the data to be used as a future basis for cutting western red cedar pole stands. Definite Plans Are Under Way ' at Offices of Executives of Northwest States. With the object of bringing about a complete organization looking to ward the closer co-ordination of real estate men within the northwest states, a campaign will be launched soon from the headquarters of the Northwest Real Estate association here, according to A. R. R'tter, re cently elected president. Definite plans now being worked out by the executives will culminate in a sur vey trip through the states in this district by T. W. Zimmerman, secre tary, to be taken early this fall. The campaign will be launched primarily to establish board mem bership of the individual real es tate dealers throughout tho north west and to eliminate the present expensive and loose organization permitted under the individual mem bership plan. Wherever possible the individual memberships will be ter minated and the board plan substi tuted, although it is probable that In some instances boards cannot be organized in many of the outlying districts and counties. . County Boards Wanted. It was pointed out by the execu tives of the northwest association that individual memberships are not allowed now in the national assoc'a tion and that this plan is the only successful one which will eventually result in better organization among the dealers looking toward united action when needed. Wherever local boards cannot be established, due to the small communities, then coun ty boards will be the solution. Throughout the east the plan now in operation is to organize the state associations as the subdivisions of the national group, but in the north west it has been found that the sparsely settled states do not war rant the expense of state associa tions, and the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia , in Canada. Each of these states and provinces has a, vice-president, who will be directly in charge of the new plan of organizing the boards. Vice-President In Charge. The vice-presidents elected at the recent meeting of the association and who w'll supervise the new plan Include: W. D. Potter of Nampa, Idaho; George A. Spencer of Seattle; Frank B. Upshaw of Portland; Au stin North of Billings, Mont.; Alfred Carmichael, Victoria, B. C. and D. P. Hays, Carstairs, Alberta. The plan to bring about the Im mediate organization of the various local and county boards was begun last year and has been meeting with fair success. The results of better administration and closer co-opera tion of the real estate dealers ob tained by eliminating the individual memberships, have been so .highly successful that the drive to complete the preliminary work will now be carried through to rapid comple tion. Secretary Completes Trip. William Herrin, field secretary of the national association, has lust completed a trip through the north west district and has addressed" ap proximately 25 local boards. With the completion of the contemplated organization into boards by the northwest association, it will be pos sible to bring many of the national officers here and arrange for speak ers of national repute to visit the various local organization. In ad dition it has been found that the lo cal board idea is more economical in administration within the north west district. ' - netti will be started soon by L. P. Keller at 600 East Fifteenth street, between Ivon and Clinton streets. It will be 29 by 44 feet in size with two stories. Four new residences costing ap proximately $5500 are to rise in va rious parts of tho east side, accord ing to plans just completed. A. L. Du Puy -has just completed speci fications for two of these, one to be erected at 351 East Twenty -fourth street, between Stephens and Harrison streets for L. Ached, and another at 325 East Fifty-seven 1 h street, between Hawthorne avtnu and East Lincoln street, for Ueorg Vath. The other two $5500 homes a: for D. W.
