LOSSES SMALLER v Than Reported to Green Timber SAYS A LUMBERMAN Hasjnspected Southern Washing ton and Also Oregon E. Q. Wsson, an Everett lumber man, connected with dough Bros. Company, it in the city. He hua been .on an extended trip through Southern Washington, and also to the Rogue River country since the recent big fires. He had this to aay about the extent of timber losses: "I do not think there has been any where near as great loss to timber aa has been reported in the press. Up home we thought everybody had been cleand out, and that timber operations were greatly crippled. I have) seen most of the coun try west of the Cascades, as far south as Rogue River, and especially In the Olym pic region, and I do not think there has been any great loss to standing timber, unles It Is up Iq the Cowllts. I went well over several miles of ground In the Cow llts region, and I did not see th losses that have been described there. I am talking about the standing timber. There have been large) losses of cut timber, where the logs wer exposed to dry ma trial in the logging works, without a doubt. The fact Is that there is mighty DOROTHY TENNANT. little good standing timber but what the undrgrowth Is So denae and green that It .s Imposslgle for Area to get going enough to kill timber. It has no doubt occurred that flies have burnt dead timber In among the greejr freas. nt Uie1 appear ances, from smVkV and (trnesrutninf p such tre-s, would, be Wisf! tftesWoto trait was doomed. 1itivs'sei ,n(le $tiA $alles of that kind ohnbef 'M(jn jri',tne,ec tions reported as 'having Wen" swept ipvir. In such ruses Ahe fire baa really been a benefit, for it has cleaned', out the .dead stuff, lessening' the Ilklihood ot worse fires. "1 think you will find, when the whole situation is khowp, tnat green timber losses, on the west side of the mountains, have been comparatively small. On the other side they amount to nothing, in my opinion. The Woods there are too open and clear for nrs to run. Immediately on the Columbia River there has been considerable standing timber ruined, and immeutie lumber losses. But In general I am sure that our AVashlngton and your Oregon standing timber is comparatively anfe. POLICE COURT. ' The cases against Thomas His) op, J. H. Black and J. II.

Speaking of tha strike situation this morning, F. F,- Smith, business agent of the Marine Engineers' strike, said: , "We are perfectly satisfied with the sit uation. There lav no .doubt but that we will. win. It may require one month, six months and even a year, but we will eventually gain our demands. The bene fit funds we receive are ample to carry on a protracted fight "On what particular point do you base your hope of Winning." he was asked. "We are sure of winning because the class of men the owners now have in the engine room are incompetent. They nev er held a responsible position before in their lives and would not be .Table to do so now were it not for the fact that the transportation companies are unable to get anyone elsel If anything goes wrong with their engines while on their usual runs, It would be impossible for them to discover where the difficulty lies, if the fireman, oiler or someone else" did not show them." SPEAKS OF INCOMPETENCY. "For example, I will cite one instance. On September 14 It became necessary to move the steamer Hassalo from the Ains worth to the Ash-street dock. On board there were live non-union engineers, re cent Importations from the Great Lakes. Not a man among them knew Just what steps to take to get the vessel under full steam and started. The oiler finally went to their rescue and showed them how to proceed in the matter. The oiler was af terwards employed to give them Instruc tions." 'Have you got some new card that you intend to play soonT" "As to that, I do not rare to say, but you will be safe in saying that a surprise is In store fur someone. We are In the fight to win." The owners outside, of the O. R. & N.. say that the strike is not affecting them In the least, and that they are getting along all right GUARDSMEN DRILL Friends Crowd the Armory to Wit ness the Maneuvers.
