Tonight at 7:30 the delegates to the
Oregon Development League conven
tion will meet at the Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of considering
the matter of presenting the needs of
Astoria and Clatsop county to the con
vention at Portland. In view of the
fact that organization of the local del
egations Is essential to intelligent ef
fort at the league convention, all of
the delegates are urged to be in at-1
tendance.
. The officers of the state league will
be a president, three vice-presidents, a
secretary and a treasurer. Perhaps an
executive committee will be elected.
The president of the league will prob
ably be a resident of Portland, but it
Is felt that the first vice-president
should be an Astorian, as this city is
the second largest in the state. At
tonight's preliminary meeting a can
didate for the first vice-presidency may
be decided upon. '." , ;
; Astoria will have certain demands
to make at the convention. The inter
ests of this city require consideration,
and at tonight's meeting the matter
will be called up for discussion. Pres
ident Welch of the chamber, who has

mercial organizations, will give the
delegates the benefit of bis connection

The Woman's Club of Portland has

Woman's Club program includes a trip
to the falls of the Willamette, street
car rides and visits to points of interest.

"The Weyerhauser people must pro

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

logs for quite a while yet He cannot
quit if he wants to.
"The Saldern camps, on Gray'a rtver,

Mr. Saldern is under contract and Is
getting a good price for his logs at
Astoria.

Moat of the loggers complain that
they are not getting enough for their
timber and that the scale Is unsatls

logs have their own scalers, who see

for any more than they get, while quite
often logs are thrown out which the
loggers think should be received.

Conflagration en Puget Sound May
Result in Great Loss.
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.
