He also called particular atten tion to plans Which are being formu lated to prepare for the next. crop of timber. The quick growth makes such a plan feasible In this country., and It makes not only for conservation but for com munity good. F. C. Knapp invited the association to divide . its attention be tween forestry, water power, minerals, and other resources which become the subject of conservation plans. ' He gave It as his opinion that little Is known of the mineral wealth of Oregon, because of the minus development but that the time Is coming, perhaps Is near at hand, when mineral production will vie In Importance with lumbering or fruit THREE C0UNCILMEN OPPOSE NEW AGENT That Mayor Simon and the city' coun cil may not be so harmonious on at least one question was evidenced yester day afternoon at a. m wet lng of the ways and means committee when Councilman Baker and Councilman Annand declared themselves opposed to the appointment irpOTCTiS8ing-agen t A t - Mayor Si mon's suggestion S.

Clemons, an insurance man, Council man Devlin said he would oppose the employment of a purchasing agent for the reason that If one man bad the pow er to buy everything the city needs, he would have too many chances for graft to be able to resist them. Councilman Baker was of the same opinion. ; Christmas Sale.
