Doctor Addresses Lumbermen. Ir. Lipscomb addressed the meeting Of tho West t'oasl Lumber Manufac turers' association in session yesterday afternoon al the Portland hotel. The addreHN was the prlneipul feature of the mreliny, attend',) hv men engaged In the lumber Industry throughout the Pacific northwest. "Ir. M. J. Shields. I am Informed, Is coming out to Portland soon, to es tablish headquarters here, with the Slate as his field," said Dr. Lipscomb. "Dr. Shields will fill the same position that I have filled in Washington, and 11 was largely through the splendid re sults obtained in that state that a man lias been assigned to Oregon. Northwest Work Explained. "Oregon utid Washington u e given liberal treatment by the American Hed Cross, for while we have 49 states to cover, we have but four doctors and one life saving expert in the service. Two of these doctors and the life sav ing expert will be stationed in the Pacific northwest. In addition thereto tho Red Cross maintains two cars in this field. "The results have been shown in the reduction of the percentage of acci dents in Ihe .dale of Washington and the lessening of fatal results in cases of accidents. The first aid invariably prevents Infection of wounds. Before the In ruber mens' meeting lr. Lipscomb spoke on industrial acci dents. He gave the lecture and first aid demonstration in the interest of re ducing accidents in sawmills and log ging camps and in mimimzng the suf fering and serious ufter effects of such accidents. First Aid Emphasized. lie called attention to the fact that 9o per cent of Industrial accidents are due to habitual carelessness and that mucli of the suffering and lost time following such accidents are due t improper rare within the first few minutes after the accident occurs. Attention was called to the fact that Jn the sawmills and logging camps of Washington accidents had increased fi() per cent over last year owing to the large number of new and Inexperienced men employed incident to the ruBQ of industry. The same conditions were also said to apply to Oregon. The Red Cross man stressed the importance of proper and quick treatment for minor injuries. In this connection he an nounced 10 rules for preventing blood poisoning a very frequent result of lumber Industry accidents. The 10 rules were: Tea rirst Aid Bales. first Kverv wrmnil no mntttr how (small, should receive immediate atten tion. Second Never wash a wound out with water. Don't do that under any circumstances. Nature, In the bleeding process, cleanses the wound, the "wash ing out" drives possible infection into the system. Third Do not apply a handkerchief or other soiled substance to a wound. Fourth If a wound is beneath the clothing, cut the clothing away but do not pull the cloth over the wound. Kifth Do not touch an open wound with the hands for any reason whatso ever. Sixth Apply tincture of Iodine, one half strength. In an one-Inch around a wound. This applies to all injuries ex cept those of the eye, a burn or a bruise or exposed Intestine. Seventh Carefully apply an abso lutely sterile dressing. F.ighth Apply dressing carefully once a day thereafter. Ninth If the Injury becomes swol len or painful immediately summon a physician. Tenth Obey the other nine rules for the prevention of blood poisoning. The lecture was listened to with close attention by the lumbermen. Members of the Oregon state indus trial insurance commission and em ployes of that commission were pres ent. Grading Rules Discussed. The proposed changes in the grading rules governing heavy timbers and the plan to adopt a definite standard for timbers were discussed. Tins dis cussion will be continued at the next monthly meeting. Lumbermen in attendance at the meeting, in speaking of trade condi tions, sounded a warning against over production on account of the weakness that has been shown the past two weeks in yellow pine and the unsatis factory weather throughout the coun try. The cold weather (hat has pre vailed in the middle states has retarded activity in the building industry and this in turn has affected the retail lumber trade. It is expected, however, that as soon as the weather improves proposed proj ects in the building line will be started and wittr them a revival in the demand for lumber.

Washington, May 27. ( WASHING TON KUKKAU OF THE JOURNAL.) The chances are none too rosy that the present session of congress will provide funds for the construction of roads In the national forests by advancing money received from the sales of timber from the reserves. This Is true in spite of the fact that the senate has approved the plan and has placed an amendment by Senator Walsh of Montana as a rider on the good roads bill to carry out substantially the plan embraced in the Taylor bill In the house. There is some nuesthn as to whether the linking of this plan with the good toads measure will tie in fact of any ad vantage. House Shies at Expense. Representative Taylor, on frlng ap prised of the passage nf tho good roads bill with the Walsh amendment by the senate, announced his purpose to do all he can to induce the house conferees to accept the amendment. At the same time he recognizes that me roans plan lias gathered new op position since it left the house. It was re-written In the senate, and there is a noticeable disposition in the house to hold down new expend itures. The forest roads plan calls for re imbursement to the government of every dollar expended under it, as the department of agriculture ' has insisted It should be. but even with this feature there is opposition in many quarters to advancing such a large sum with an indefinite date for its return. Hope In General Measure. Western members who have Intro duced bills for outright appropriations or for reimbursement from forest re ceipts, with particular roads in view realize that there Is little probability of success for any of these bills. The only hope is in the passage of a general measure, such as that of Taylor or the Walsh amendment to the good roads bill. The fate of the Mount Hood road project in Oregon, to provide a con necting road around the mountain, will be decided by the success or fail ure of these general measures, as will also the construction of a road to the Oregon caves in Josephine county. Outline of Walsh Plan. The Walsh amendment provides an Appropriation of $1,000,000 a year for 10 years, to be expended under direc tion of the secretary of agriculture for such roads as may be approved by him. It provides for return of this money by turning back 10 per cent of the receipts from timber sales in each national forest in which money Is spent for roads. The Taylor bill, which has the spe cific approval of the dop.-.rtment of agriculture, differs only in the man ner of reimbursement. It provides for return of the mnnev from the """' i" narionai lorest receipts that now paid to the stnfpa r,-y v, 12 Pupils Graduate From Redmond High Third Largest Class In History of School Finishes; Five Teachers In Grades, Four In High School How. Redmond. Or.. May 27- A class of II was graduated Thursday night for the Redmond high school. This is the tnird and largest class to be gradu ated. Those graduating were Ethel Wheeler.

The fact that the -Redmond high school won the championship at the central Oregon field meet here last Saturday from Rend and Prineville is helping the school considerably in the move to dis solve the Redmond union high school which will be voted on In June.

WILL ISSUE CERTIFICATES Hopes Delegates to national Conven tion to Be Held June 7 Will Wot Be Delayed by Tardiness. Salem, Or., May 27. Just as soon as all the counties of Oregon make of ficial returns on the vote of the pri mary election of May 19, Secretary of State Olcott will canvass the vote and issue certificates to successful dele gates to the national convention and others, he said Friday. He urged that all counties which have not made re turns do so at once so that delegates to the Republican national convention, scheduled for June 7, may not be de layed. The 20 days allowed for the return of the vote does not expire until June 8, but the secretary of state hopes county clerks will not wait after they have the full vote of the county. Of ficial returns had been received Friday from 17 of the 35 counties of the state. in which the is benefit of the counties reserves are Tboated. At present the issue is doubtful Rejection of the Walsh amendment in conference, or the failure of the good, roads bill to wlilct, jt is attached would tie a defeat not necessarllv fatal. It could still be advanced hv bringing in the Taylor bill, but with somewhat damaired irestige. DESERTED WIFE HAS WON BACK RIGHTS TO HER HOMESTEAD Washington. May 27. Mrs. s Kdna Harrison of Drewscv.

May 27.

Working on Apple Kxports. Washington. May i'T. Upon inquiry at the state department. Congressman Sinnott has been informed that no definite progress can be reported as yet on the representations made to the British foreign office concernii. the refusal of Great Britain to permit i American apples to reach Scandinavian J countries. It is stated however, that I Secretary Lansing has in preparation , another note on the subject, and it is i believed the influence of the British j embassy here will be cast in favor of some relaxation of the ruies now in force. Mrs. Umilie closset. widow of the late Joseph Ulosset. will receive during her life a one-half Interest in all the revenue and profits of her husband's estate, valued at more than $300,000. The estate will not be partitioned among the heirs. This was the decision of Circuit Judge Oantenbein, given yesterday aft ernoon, in the suit brought by Mrs. Closset against her three children who are the other heirs and the executors of the will of which she herself is one. Practically all of the property is in come bearing. In his will, Joseph Clos set provided that Mrs. Closset should elect within a year whether she would take a dower interest in the estate or accept the provisions that he made for her. These provisions, in substance, were that the estate should be held in trust for 25 years, during which Mrs. closset and the three children should share equally in the net revenues from the estate, and at the end of the 25 years the estate was to be divided share and share alike. Mrs. Closset chose to take her dower interest which under the law is a life interest in one-half of the property left by her husband. Judge Gantenbein held it would be unwise to attempt to di vide the property and so made his de cision as stated above. After Mrs. Closset began her suit for her dower interest, two of the chil dren, Eugenie Schmidt and Alfred Adolph Closset, petitioned for the re moval of their mother as one of the executors of the estate on the ground that her position had become incon sistent, in that she appeared as both plaintiff and defendant in the suit.
