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

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.

is still hammering awsty " with the Jose
phine county circuit court work. Yes
terady George F. Young, a man 25 years
of age, waa sentenced to a term of two
years at the penitentiary for forgery.
Young forged several notes in Southern
Oregon this past spring, but o naccount
of the respectability of his parents he
was allowed to go unpunished. But when
he attempted to puss a note at the First
National Bank in this city, bearing the
signature of G. F. Billings, of Ashland,
the signature of which was found to be
a forgery, the joke was carried too far,
and Young was arrested. He, was but

the judge pronounced his sentence You.ig
broke completoly down and had to be
carried from the court room to his cell.
GRIFFIN MURDER TRIAL.
After a long period of tedious work the
Jury to sit for the Griffin murder trial
was at last selected yesterday afternoon
and today the court has been at work
examining the witnesses for the defend
ant in the case. The court room lias been
crowded to Its limit. The case is .one of
great Interest and the results are a mat
ter of speculation. The accused has an
even chance of being either "acquitted or
or hanged. It is not likely that the trial
will be completed before the last of this
week, as there are a number ot wit
nesses to be examined both for the state
and for the defence.

After Raising a Disturbance Last
.. Friday:
POSED AS J0P A. MURRAY
Claimed to Be a Mine Locator
Said He Was Wealthy.
Where is Jim Hegerty, alias John A.
Murray? He, as welt as his brother EJ.
have disappeared from Portland, leaving
a few debts behind, after raising a dis
turbance at the Ryan lodging house on
Fifth street
Murray, or Hegerty, came to Portland
In August, claiming to be a locator1 of
mines ,and engaged N. Mosessobn, whose
office Is in the Chamber of Commerce
building, as his attorney. After staying
in Portland about two weeks he said
i he was sick and would go down to the
I coast to recuperate. After this sight
was lost of him until he showed up at
the old St. Vincent's - hospital with a
case of eczema, after which he became
afflicted with asthma about six weeks
ago. He stayed in the hospital for about
a month, after which he rented a room
in the lodging house in Fifth street ana
brought his brother Ed from Wardner,
Idaho, to take care of him.
FIGHT BETWEEN THE BROTHERS.
Last Friday morning the roomers in
the lodging house were awakened by a
fusillade of shots, followed by screams
and curses. It seems that the brothers
drank more than was good for them and
commenced quarreling. Ed Anally made
an attempt at committing suicide, but
was prevented from carrying out his pur
pose after he .had fired a few shots i
the wall and slashed himself In the ab-
IV PLJtTS
domen. The next day both broUiers dis
appeared; leaving a bill of about $20 un
paid for the rent of the' room.

Seattle Will No Longer Ship Port

It is given out on high authprlty that
all differences between the Portland
Flour Mills Company and the O. R. ft N.
have been patched up, and as a result
no more flour will be sent from Portland

Is alleged that trouble arose some time

cargo of flour which got damaged, and
until the past few days were not on the
best of terms.
One wlio is on the inside, but objects
to having his name used, says:
"The Northern Pacific will carry no
more flour from Portland to Seattle for
reshipnient to China and Japan. From
now on the O. R. & N. Oriental linersj
will take care of all the business from
Portland. This win be bad news to Seat

SITUATION OF THE
MARINE ENGINEERS
F. F. - Smith Says That They
' Wffl Win.
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
