ing either In entymology or biology
classes any line of investigation' that
would tend to save tha millions of dol
lars, worth of standing, timber from
the damage and menace and fire de
struction brought about by Insect pests;
and,' second, that the appropriation for
the federal bureau of entymology is so
small that this department has been
enabled to do only so much research
work as to enable It to sound a warning
without the power of prescribing -a rad
ical cure or preventttlve. . '

more effective . and better organised
fire-fighting system, A. B. Wastell. sec
retary of tha association, also secretary
to the state board of forestry, presented
a comparative statement of fire losses
in Washington and Oregon. For con

X bar come to tha west to engage In
soma kind of business," said V. Claire,
Pittsburg, Pa., at tha Oregon today,
The Pittsburg labor leaders would not
allow ma to conduct my business In the
way I saw fit,' so I decided to move to a
free country. : J have been manufactur
ing builders' hardware, but expect to
engage in some other Una of business
out here." . ' j 'j v t
John Hoge, Medford, Or. Medford is
tha home of more enterprises than any
other town of Its size In the west, I will
venture the assertion. New timber com-,
panles, fruit concerns, land companies,
telephone corporations and mining en
terprises are being promoted almost
weekly, and tha best of It is that all are
making good. ; ,
T. B. Tillman, Ruby, Nev. Elko coun
ty, ' Nevada, would like to lay claim to
the prize eating apples of the west, and
to that end the commercial bodies of
the county will soon take steps to prove
It.' Apples that are called June apples
in the east ripen in Elko county in Sep
tember, but the flavor Is the finest ever
produced, is the contention of the boost
ers. ' ' .
Councilman Devlin yesterday voted to
grsnt a restaurant - liquor license, al
though last week at , another special
meeting of the liquor license commit
tee of tha city council he had refused to
countenance any action which would pro
long tha existence of the place. C Bla
ster Is tha proprietor of tha Valley cafe
and his application for a lioensa to
serve liquor with meals had been re
fused. A majority of the committee yes
terday .still stood against tha Issuance
of It , . . . .
Tha committee likewise rejected, the
application of A. J.. Burns, whose "cafe'
is at 171 Taylor street This application
together with that of Martin Denny, 270
Third street, bad been taken under ad'
visement by the ootnmltee at a previous
meeting. Denny's application, however,
received favorable action from tha com
mlttee yesterday, ' Other restaurant HQ
uor lloenses refused to applicants-yes
terday by the committee were those of
Tin Kin Lura, StVfc Fourth . street, and
Fred Woodhouse. 364 Davis street The
request of the "White Corner," another
notorious restaurant," was also turned
down. :
Boyson A Wertemberger, ' 275 Crosby
street, were also denied the privilege of
selling liquor with food. . Two Chinese
restaurants that have been conducted In
violation .of - the ordinanoe which pro
hibits boxes were also granted licenses
on condition that the boxes, which they
have maintained, shall be removed.
These restaurants are the Pekin, Sixth
and Stark streets, and the Royal Canton
grill. Alder and Park streets. When
the council meets tomorrow a strong
fight will bo made by the liquor sellers
Whose licenses were denied by the com
mittee and, if past action is any prece
dent, the recommendations of the com
mittee may not be followed.

The figures go to show that while
Washington had several times as many
fires as Oregon, yet the ramage , was
less. Washington authorities ascribe
this to a more complete system of fire
tletectlon and fire fighting. As the
bugs bore and tho trees burn, however,
the damage Is apt each year to become
worse. E. T. .Allen., representing the
Western Forestry and Conservation as
sociation, told of the ambition enter
italned by the new organisation to affil
iate more closely and organise the state
conservation association for mutual ad
vance, protection and benefit That the
Western Forestry and Conservation as
sociation, which held its first meeting
in Spokane, Is an organiastion for the
people and not alone for timber own
ers, was not left nnomphasised by Mr.
Allen. 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

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

Baker and Councilman Annand declared
themselves opposed to the appointment
irpOTCTiS8ing-agen t A t - Mayor Si
mon's suggestion S. C Pier of the exec
utive board, recently Investigated as to
the advisability of having one man buy
all the supplies needed by the various
municipal departments and Mr. Pier,
after Investigating, Is of the opinion
that the city would save a great deal
of money by having such an agent
The subject came up, yesterday in an
Informal way while the committee was
discussing a communication made by W,
J. 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. ;

The ancient Greeks called the period
Including the seven days preceding and
the seven days following the shortest
day of the year "the Halcyon , days."
This phrase is derived from the myth
that during this period, while the king

poetic fiction, the bird was represented
as hatching its eggs in a floating nest
in the midst of waters.
