Johnson had been a regular attend

The negro and a fellow-worker were

SANTA CRUZ FOREST
CALL FOR ASSISTANCE
Flames Leap the Mountain
Gulches and Sweep Up the
Hillside, Report,
San Jose, Cal., Sept. 13. (U. P.)
The forest fire has crossed the gulches
in the Santa Cruz mountains and is
sweeping up the hills of tjhe other
side, according to a telephone call
received here at noon today from the
Letcher ranch- At that time, it was
stated that the telephone pcles were
burning, and anticipating that thin
would be the last message they would
be able to get through, the fire fight
ers appealed for more assistance, and
asked for provisions to last three or
four days.
Earlier in the day It was believed
the famous redwoods of the Big Basin
116,000,000 worth of virgin timber
had been saved.
A little band of men, wearied by
80 hours of almost uninterrupted fire
fighting, made a desperate and appar
ently successful stand against the
flames which since Sunday pave been
burning over miles of brush towards
the heavily wooded ridge which runs
like a powder train towards the edge
of the great redwood forest.
From the surface indications the fire
does not appear to be serious. Only a
little cloud of smoke In the canyons.
There is no great leaping of flames
such as Is seen In pine forest' fires.
But the underwrowth at all danger
points is a roaring furnace and eVet
eran forest fire fighters say It is the
most dangerous and hardest fire to
handle in many years.

Judge Anderson returned to Oregon

where County Commissioner Knight

When asked if the mission was suc
cessful Judge Anderson declared that
it was in a measure. "The state
board seemed confident that the gov
ernment would give us aid In this
project, and I feel that it will. With
government aid, and also state aid.
the road completed will not cost
Clackamas county over $10,000. . It
w)lh mean a delay though, and I had
hoped to have things settled so that
the work could be commenced the
first thing in the spring." Judge An
derson said that even though this
project was referred to the govern
ment, it might be rushed through so
that work could be done on the road
next-summer. It Is hardly likely, ac
cording to Judge Anderson, that the
project will be completed next sum
mer, because he believes that the
roadway will have to settle before
the final work is done

Tree Tappers Are
Menace to Forests
Lumber Man Tells of Worklnrs of
GHtntr That Takes Mtch From Trees
and Then rails to Pluff Boles.
Albany, Or., Sept. IS. Wells Gilbert,
lumberman of Portland, who was In
the city yesterday to appear before
the Linn County board of equalization,
told about a gang of men living In
the mountains, known as the "pitch
boys," who work in the forests gath
ering pitch for commercial purposes,
the fir tree8 are tapped and the pitch
drained Into pails. This process gen
erally ruins the tree, but the raiders
go further by failing to plug up the
holes and tbe pitch seeps upon the
ground.
This makes It doubly dangerous In
case of fire, for when the blaze, whlcn
might otherwise be confined to the
brush, reaches a tree which has been
tapped for pitch It Is an easy prey for
the flames, which run up the trunk
and get into the tops. Once in the
tops a fire becomes unmanageable.
Mr. Gilbert says the timber owners
cause arrests and get convictions at
the risk of having their timber set on
fire in retaliation.

ordinance allowing automobiles to
stand with the driver in them for half
an hour at a time- t
R. E. Taylor of the Portland Hotel
Pharmacy, J. P. Jaeger, Jeweler, and
others particularly objected to the
sight-seeing tourist cars. C. M. Har
rison, who represented the sight-seeing
and tourist cars, made a plea for the
trying out of the ordinance as passed
to go Into effect October 1. He laid
the blame of difficulties arising from
blocking of business houses on the
for-hlre-Jltney" men.
Commissioner Dieck was asked to
survey out space in the middle of the
street from1 Morrison to Washington,
where for hire cars could be parked
for a day or two. Just to experiment
with. He was not sanguine of its
practicability, but Mayor Albee and
Commissioner Bigelow thought it
worth trying. The trial will be made
on Friday next, and if It works well
It will be provided for by ordinance.
Pool Room Ordinance.
Another ordinance permitting card
and pool rooms to be operated together
In a district between Couch and An-

QUESTIONABLE DEALS
BYU.S.BUS1NESS MEN
IN ARGENTINE DENIED
Charges by Argentine Indus
trial Union Challenged by
American Consul,
By Charles P. Stewart.
Buenos Aires, Sept 13. (U. P.)
The United States consul here has
come to the defense of American
business men who have been accused
of questionable dealing's in South
America.
The accusations were first made by
the Argentine Industrial union. Com
plaint was made also that the Na
tional City bank of New York, which
has large dealings In South Amer
ica, had made similar charges against
certain firms in the United States.
, The consul applied directly to the
Argentine Industrial union for tho
names of the firms alleged to have
been guilty of improper practices.
Officers of the union parried with the
statement that they could not reveal
the names of the firms, nor could they
make public details of the transactions
complained of. They suggested that
the consul take the matter up with
members of the union and question
them individually.
The consul questioned the practi
cability of such a method. He pointed
out that the union had made a serious
charge against certain United States
business men and declared that in
fairness to all business men in the
United States with dealings in South
America the union should submit proof
of the accusations.
Indirectly he impressed the belief
that possibly commercial rivalry had
something to do with the allegations.
Possibly, he wrote, the accusations
were due to "competitors who, because
they were competitors, may not al
ways be able to take an unprejudiced
view."
The consul has renewed his request
en the union for more details.
