The electricians strike, if called, will effect only five states- Oregon, Wasnington. Idaho, Califor nia and Nevada. -The telegraphers declare them selves ready to quit work one hour after the order to do so lias been received. It is understood that strike senti ment among the telegraphers In creased greatly this morning when !t became known that Postmaster Gen eral Burleson had made a new rul ing eliminating all overtime hereto fore allowed operators. This rule, In effect, Is that an operator who has worked his eight-hour shift must work an additional seven hours on straight time before receiving over time pay. In other words, his pav for overtime does not commence un til he is on his 16th hour's work. Formerly time and a half was allow ed for all time over eight hours. CARRIER IMGEOX8 TO HELP IX FIRE PROTECTION Hood Rlvei Growers planning to Increase pear acreage. Homing pigeons will help protect the forests of the Morthwest from fire, It experiments planned in the office of District Forester George H. Cecil, Portland, result successfully. ' In accordance with these plans, Forest Examiner W. J. Sproat, of Bend, Oregon, who has had consid erable experience in handling the bords, will take five pairs of carrier pigeons with him when lie returns to Bend, for experimental use on the Deschutes ..atlonal Forest. Forest Supervisor C. R. Seltz, of Eugene, plans to carry on a series of similar experiments on the Cascode National Forest. E. H. Bauers, president of the Homing Pigeon Club, of Portland, has furnished some of the birds for these experiments. Mr. Sproat believes that the birds Can be used to good advantage for carrylng messages, specially fire re ports, between isolated points on the National Forests and ranger stations, and thus supplement the telephone. They are expected to make communi cation possible when for any reason the telephone lines are out of com mission. . '" Mr. Sproat says pigeons have been used as messengers for many cen turies. Their use was so highly de veloped during the Franco-Prussian war that the Germans sought to break up their efficiency by turning loose hawks to destroy the pigeon messengers. The use of pigeons la fire protec tive work is sj new idea which Is con sldered well worth trying out by For est officers In this District. Beck and Dejta mills, on Slnslan have started operations.

HEAVY KAIXS HAVE SOAKED THE GIUH'XD The ground In and around Ash land Is wetter at the present tlm; than It haa been for many years. This Is due to the heavj rains thai have fallen during the past month, soaking the ground to a considerable depth. According to reports of men who have had occasion to excavate, a bole In the ground will fill with water almost as rapidly as the dirt is removed, and In some Instances it has been necessary to ball out the water that will fill a hole faster than It can lie made. This has been no ticed only within the past month, as earlier thw ground was so dry a few Inches below the surface that a pick could scarcely penetrate the soil.
