The Woman's Club of Portland has taken up the matter of entertaining the ladles who accompany the dele gates, and will make matters pleas ant for the female contingent. The Woman's Club program includes a trip to the falls of the Willamette, street car rides and visits to points of interest. lng Interests that must be reconciled. "The Weyerhauser people must pro ceed in logging off their burned acres in the Washougal district," a promi nent Portland timber owner aaid, "This logging off Is something in the nature of salvage, as the burned tim ber would be a total loss unless it was taken care of within a short time. "It is true that much of the Washou gal timber is red fir, which will not come into competition with the yellow fir needed by Portland mills, but the Weyerhauser people will reach their yellow fir later on, and If the other log gers of the lower Columbia ait log ging the Weyerhauser people and the Benson Logging Company will have the privilege of supplying the market "S. Benson has a large camp run ning and Is under contract to furnish logs for quite a while yet He cannot quit if he wants to. "The Saldern camps, on Gray'a rtver, must also run for a long time yet as Mr. Saldern is under contract and Is getting a good price for his logs at Astoria. "There Is no way but for the loggers to pitch In and supply the demand. each logging off as much as he can. Moat of the loggers complain that they are not getting enough for their timber and that the scale Is unsatls factory. The mills that purchase the logs have their own scalers, who see to It, that the mill owners do not pay for any more than they get, while quite often logs are thrown out which the loggers think should be received. r n We Cordially Invite ?

Promoters of the organization o the Columbia River Loggers' Association are hot meeting with much success In their efforts thus far. D. C.

Seattle, July 28. Forest fires which started yesterday afternoon on the western shores of Vashon Island this morning have spread until many hun dred acres are a mass of seething flames. Every available man In the vicinity has been called Into the fight but owing to a high wind, little prog ress Is being made. In the path of the flames are many farmhouses and gar dens. On the mainland south of Colby, and still further south In the vicinity of Gig Harbor, other large conflagrations are consuming acre after acre of tim ber, despite the efforts of an army of men to stop their progress. In the vicinity of Lester the fires are still raging with unabated progress, and there seems but little hope of quench ing them for many days at least. The loss there already aggregates over $15,- 000, and the entire town of Lester may be wiped out if a change in the direc tion of the wind comes. Fire Warden Rief, who has just re turned to the city, says the Lester flames are beyond control and that the only way to stop them will be to al low them to burn out on a hogback In the valley. When the warden left Les. ter, more than eight sections of tim ber had been burned. over and every man in that part of the country had stopped his own work and was fight ing the fire. Warden Rief left for yashon. this morning. , i Arranging for Street Carnival. The regatta committee has received a message from the manager of the Southern Carnival Company asking that tills combination be granted the concession for a street fair here dur ing regatta week. The show is at Sa lem and Is said to be the finest of Its kind now on the coast. Several other propositions have been submitted by street fair managers, and the com mittee has not yet. decided which will be accepted. The Southern carnival will, however, be given consideration.
