a-10 acre tract about three miles from

his cabin. There were no witnesses to
the fatality.
Harrison attended Epworth League

Shortly after, the two sons of J. W.
Lauterbach, a farmer living about a
half mile from the Harrison tract, saw
the flames and immediately started for
Harrison's cabin.
When they arrived it was a heap of
ashes. The charred remains of the

By Ralph A. Watson.
(By Journal Leased Salem Wire.)
Salem, Or., Feb. II. The senate is
whetting its knife for the normal
schools. The house yesterday gave $106,
000 each to Monmouth, Weston and Ash
land, and the senate does not like It.
Senators ars of the opinion that the
house Is on the wrong road, but they are
not able to pick out the right path, and
therefore they are talking of killing the
house bills, appropriating about $130,000
and giving the money to the state board
of normal school regents to use as that
body sees fit. If the board waats three
schools all right, or it can have two, or
one, or none the senate does not care.
The chief thing that Interests it is that
the normal question is not yet settled.

When the Weston bill came up Clem
ens entered a little protest. He said the
ways and means committee had recom
mended one school, and he believed In
that solution. The house was now In
tending to provide for three schools at
a great cost, which meant that Multno
mah would have to raise $106,000 for the
sunport of the schools.
Barrett took up the challenge, and
said he wanted fair play for Weston.
Umatilla county paid Its share of the
taxes. It wanted Weston normal school,
and It was entitled to It. The Weston
vote was as follows:

the house had voted 3100.000 for the

Washougal, Wash., Feb. 13. Safe
crackers made a futile attempt to force
entrance Into the vault of the Wash
ougal bank between 2 and 3 o'clock
this morning. They departed without
having secured anything, leaving be
hind several dynamite fuses and some
tools.
The bank is situated in close prox
imity to a number of residences and a
score of citizens were awakened by
the first blast, about 2 .. o'clock, and
heard distinctly the second, a few min
utes later. Nobody made an Investiga
tion, according to T. S. Keep, the bank
cashier. i
It 19 presumed that the cracksmen
were frightened away. Sidney Jones,
the baker, passed by the bank about
8:30. As he neared the building he
heard a long drawn whistle. It is
thought that the "lookout" took him
for a policeman and gave the alarm.
The men are believed to be making
for Vancouver.

of state resources and their conserva
tion was firat dealt with by Joseph N.
Teal of Portland and the national view
point was described by Frederick N.
Judson of the St. Louls bar, an e
president of the American Political Sci
ence association.
Mr. Teal told of the urgent need, for
the conservation of salmon of game,
of waterpower. of forests, or land, and
of public service. He satirized the sal
mon Interests with their "grab" policy,
of taking all they can in the shortest
possible time. He said that in every
other line of public utility there was
the same waste. He showed, particu
larly, how, cold bloodedly, legislatures
give away rights of Inestimable value
to the millions of people of the future.
Views of Other Speakers.
Mr. Judson took similar views In ref
erence to the national field of conserva
tion. The Importance of rivers and
water ways and of forests and lumber
to the nation as a whole were definite
ly presented, and the vast reach of the
conservation policies were described.
Alfred C Schmidt, cashier of the First

first address of the afternoon, on the
subject of "Coordination of Secondary

J. HT Ackerman, superintendent of

Some time last fall. Martin, alias Ord

to a cheek on tht) Bank of Oregon City
for $376, which he presented at the
bank, v.here It was paid. lie then took'
sudden leave.
As he failed to return to the Redland
farm, the widow came to town to hunt
him. and learned of his departure. She
culled at the bank and learned that a
check ot hers had been cashed, which
she pronounced a forgery.

Washington, Feb. 13. The an
nouncement that the congressional
ways and means committee had de

lumber has brought to Washington
a lobby of lumbermen from every
portion of the country. Every pos
sible effort la being made and every
influence brought to bear to save
at least some of the tariff which now
protects the American market from
the Canadian lumbermen.
Never in the history of any industry
in the United States has action so
radical been recommended by a congres

to wipe out entirely the tariff on lum

blow from which it will never recover.

tariff on low grade lumber, arguing
that with low grades admitted free
the Canadians will flood the American
market at such low prices, that the
Americans will oe unable to compete.
Further the lobby declares that this
would result In a waste of 25 rer cent.
of the lumber cut each year in the

Plnchot is understood! to have had much
to do with the determination, of the
committee to recommend the removal
of the lumber tariff. Plnchot believes
that with free low grade lumber Amer

An effort Is to be made to induce
Plnchot to alter his views in this matter
