THE OREGON SUNDAY. JOURNAL, PORT LAND, SUNDA Y ' MORNING, JULY 21. 1918: STATE S FORESTS FREE FROM TRACE OF BLISTER RUST Professor Byrlingame Makes In vestigation of Conditions in . Wooded" Areas of Washington. IMPORTED FROM GERMANY Current! Bushes Found Infested on Arrival in New York Dis ease Spreads to Forest Trees. Professor Thomas L. BurBngame, of Leland Stanford -university, field as sistant in white pins blister rust eradi cation, who Is investigating conditions In the Northwest for the department of forest pathology In the bureau of plant industry, will bo joined soon by C B, Randall of San Francisco, who will take, up the work for the state of Ore gon. Professor Burllngame who has been confining his efforts to Washington, has thus far found no trace of the malady either among the trees .or on the cur rent and gooseberry bushes which the pest also frequents. Eternal Vigilance Heeded White pine blister was first Intro duced Into this country through ship ments of seedlings from Germany In 1909. The following year some affected current and gooseberry bushes- were dis covered at Geneva, N. Y.. near which were a large number of eastern white pine trees.: A campaign was Immediate ly started for the extermination of the Infected trees, but so wide have been their shipment throughout the country that It means the tracing of every ship ment of Imported trees and ! examina tion for traces of the disease. In the case of the currant and goose' berry bushes, it is a comparatively easy matter, according to Professor Bur llngame, since the Insects die when the plant loses Its foliage in the autumn but with the pines the infections are of a perennial ' nature, and liable to break out, 20 years later. It means the examination of suspected trees every year. ' Seedlings Subject to Attack . The danger of Infected currant and gooseberry bushes lies in the fact that when they are In close proximity to white pine trees the Insects will leave .the bushes for the trees. The commercial value Of tbe white pine forests of the country Is estimated at one fourth billion dollars but the greatest loss to the country from bits ter runted timber Is not so much the present .financial loss as the preven tion of future planting, since seedlings are most subject to attack. "In Germany, Holland and England according to Professor Burllngame, white pine blister has been completely radicated from the national forests, al thougri -lt was previously the principal ' species ' used In replanting. - :Thu far, no traces of white -pine blis ter have been found farther west than Minnesota, and It is a measure of pre caution that the careful search Is being made throughout the Northwest to de- tect any signs of Infection, if they ex ist, before they have time to spread. .Wild Currant Breeding Place "Should the malady get a foothold here. It wpuld do an Inestimable amount of damage," said Professor Burllngame. This is a region In which sugar pine and western pine are scattered every where. Two thirds of the counties of the state have some pine, and there is no county where there is not some sus- peeled stuff. The pern Is further en hanced by the fact thai the woods are full of wild currants, wjhtch are Just as effective a carrier of the blister rust spores as the domestic currant bushes." The only method of combatting the disease Is through the destruction of the infected trees and bushes. Pro feasor Burllngame Is making his study through the examination of pine seed' lings and or gooseberry and currant bushes within the region of pines. He Is keeping out all shipments of eastern stock, and examining all the stock at present held by nurseries. , Information Is Sought Mr: Randall Is one of Professor Bur. llngame's students at Iceland Stanford University, we shall be more than glad." said Professor Burllngame, "to hear- from anyone who has found any traces of supposed white pine blister rust. They may either address me at the district forest service, or at the San Francisco rrice of the bureau of plant Industry Tries to Fix Hat: Drowns Kankakee. III., July 20.(L N. S.)

"In the celebration Thursday night there wan a good majority that recog nized the flag," said Mr. Inman. "but ordinarily it is not so. On the Fourth of July not more than one man In 10 un covered a the flag went by. It is a condition that would be tolerated in no other city, and if It does not represent disloyalty. It surely. Indicates inexcus able carelessness." . Mr. Inman, believes that the attention of the people should be called to this lack ef demonstration for the National emblem, and If 'suggestion Is not. suf ficient .to bring response, action of some sort should be taken to command pro per respect for the flag.

Those inter ested In the Big Butte Creek Irriga tion project, as proposed by the direct ors of the Medford district, await State Engineer John H. Lewis' visit to this city next ' week with noticeable ex pectancy. The board has turned down the Beaver Creek project, recommended by Engineer Hammatt of San Francisco, as a very doubtful proposition, so far as , possible supply Is concerned. It is wholly a storage project. The Butte creek project is a stream flow proposition and it is estimated by Engineer John B. Piatt that it will cover 19,500 acres, which is practically the area of the Medford district. En gineer Lewis, It Is said, will pass on the feasibility of the latter project. A few farmers appear to favor the Fish "Lake project, owned by the Rogue River Val ley Canal company, but it it held that the supply ,'from that source Is far less than sufficient to cover the pro posed 65,000 acres embraced in the Pat Welch system. Still others maintain that the Buck Lake project is the only one that will cover a large area on the floor of the valley, including all of the Bear Creek valley, and that on that account It Is manifestly preferable. The govern ment has estimated that this system can be established at a cost of $800,000. It Is believed, however, that It will be difficult to make substantial progress on any Irrigation system that will re quire the negotiation of bonds during the. war period; and for that-reason, again, many turn to the purchase of the Pat Welch system, if it can be ob tained for , what It is worth. - ' . tllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUIIIIMIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllim: This Is the Place to Buy SUMMER FOOTWEAR Broken Lines at Wonderful Reductions Women's Fine Shoes, Pumps and Oxfords Special $1.95, $2.95, $3.95 Special Men's Black or Tan Russia Calf Oxfords Special $355 Special Men's Boy den's Black Gonmetal Calf Lace Oxfords welt soles; English style, pair $6.95.

T O W- TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL In extending my" compliments to the public of Portland, I deem it a pleasure in announcing the commencement of my 10th Anniversary Sale, which is an old time-worn custom tn vogue and acknowledged by all well-known, reliable commercial institutions in order to meet old friends again and at the same time to get acquainted with new trade, which is only natural on the part of any commercial institution that Wishes to forge ahead. I am not compelled of necessity or .through lack of business to advertise continuously in-order to uv crease my business; as this institution enjoys the patronage of one of the most splendid exclusive clienteles in the city of Portland, made possible by) arid accomplished thrpugh, my unswerving principles of integrity, reliability, .fair arid conscientious dealings with the public of this community. Those are the, principles' that T have always and strictly adhered to during the 10 years of mv commercial career,' and from which and under no circumstances will I ever deviate. A repetition of a sale of this kind this year is utterly out of the question. 11ns sale is solely to commemo- Record Breaking High Class Tailoring Sale GENTLEMEN To more fittingly celebrate the occasion this large and magnificent selection of foreign and American fabrics will be placed on sale and at the. disposal of my friends and the public in general at a tre mendous sacrifice, and at a price that will be a startling revelation in the annals of kigh-cjass tailoring in the city of Portland, and which will positively eliminate competition entirely during this sale, profits are being thrown to the winds during this sale.

You already know my price. Then let your own sound judgment be the deciding factor Also, if it's nossible for vou to get a sample of any $50 and $55 suit in the city, including the number of the goods, and the name of the wholesale woolen house it comes from, bring them to me and I stand ready to duplicate the same suit in style, quality and workmanship during this anniversary sale only for $40. THIS OFFER STANDS OPEN DURING SAUE ONLY. THIS ANNIVERSARY SALE WILL START TOMORROW, MONDAY And Will Continue for One Week Only SALE POSITIVELY CLOSES NEXT SATURDAY EVENING : Doors Open Tomorrow 8 A. M. Sharp P Portlands Leading. Tailor EARKMUMST r Stark; St. ' My reason for setting the fixed price of $40 for every $30 and $55 suit in the house during this special event is that I have devoted years to the scientific study of high-class tai loring, which enables me to he fully cognizant of the ex treme possibilities and that which is utterly impossible . to do in this particular line of business, without resorting to drastic measures, which measures if resorted to' would eventually mean commercial suicide. Those measures are . inferior tailoring, which does not conform to my conception of tailoring nor to the tastes and conceptions of the intelli gent element I have always catered to -or, in other words, men who know what they want, who usually purchase what they want ragardless of the purchase price, and who are more than willing to pay for what they get, as long as the merchandise in question is standard, and who are not con tinually seeking something for nothing, and who have the utmost confidence in the honesty, integrity and reliability of a merchant with those proven qualifications, and who are possessed of sufficient and typical natural American intel ligence that enables them to realize that the acquiring of something for nothing outside of a charitable donation ' is utterly out of the question, and particularly so in the com mercial world; and who also realize that the cheapest is always by far the most expensive in the end. This magnificent high-grade line of fabrics positively pro hibits my even entertaining the idea of cutting my price any further on these high-grade . fabrics a further reduction, coupled with the practical elimination of my margin en tirely during this anniversary sale, would mean the entailing of an actual loss, which I do not care to sustain and which is only natural. The present state of the woolen market positively forbids a further reduction on this class of mate rial. The intelligent public and business men in particular can instantly grasp the meaning and force of my argument. Were I to cut my price any further an inferior grade of tan loring would have to be resorted to in order to prevent an actual loss; but I will never, under any circumstances, tol erate inferior tailoring for an instant, s inferior tailoring is extremely repulsive and is abhorred by both the intelli gent public and myself. I have a standard grade of tailoring that I have always and strictly adhered to during my entire commercial career in the city of Portland and from which I will never deviate. I do not intend to begin to foist an in ferior grade of woolens on my friends and the public in gen eral, neither am I going to resort to an inferior grade of tailoring in order to cope with competitors or to meet the competition of those who can well afford to advertise a cheap price, realizing only too well the grade of material carried. I know what my friends and the intelligent public expect when they place their order with me, and I am going to take particular pains to see that they are not disappointed in me. , I am going to give my friends and those of the in telligent public the best that is in me, as I have always done, or I will positively accept np remuneration whatsoever. I am not the least adverse to those who. are rather apt to . doubt that statement to placing their order elsewhere; also the patronage of those who are seeking a cheaper grade of clothing which naturally involves repulsive, inferior tailor ing is not solicited. The class of men 1 am catering to are men who are fair and broadminded and who can be rea soned with-ythat's the class of men I have always consid ered it both a pleasure and ah honor 'conferred in transact ing business with. Being full cognizant 'of the splendid high standard of the vast majority of . Portland's men and women which this community is blessed with. and, can be duly thankful for, there is hardly any need of my even inti mating that the patronage of those who are the opposite to the intelligent, business, prof essional , and worlungmen I. am catering to and who are far in the minority in the city of Portland is positively not solicited, as the high-grade line of woolens I have always carried will never be substituted for an inferior grade, and the highest standard of tailoring that expert union tailors of the highest standing is capable of producing will always be. the predominating feature in this high-class tailoring institution, ' ' 1 ; A personal examination of, these magnificent fabrics is imperatively essential in order, to more fully appreciate the extraordinary extremes I am going to during this anniver sary sale. The public - is extended a cordial invitation to visit this institution,' where you can examine these fabrics at your own leisure, regardless of .whether you place an order or net. - Every courtesy which is naturally due all gentlemen ' adieS includedT will be extended. Nevertheless, as I fully -appreciate the fact'that courtesy, which doesn't cost any thing but still means s6 much in all social and commercial af fairs, and . which is the . recognized stepping 'stone that every successful commercial 'institution : is founded on, the lack. of .whichessentiaf no .commercial institution can hope: to exist any length of time, much less hope to accomplish - their success.
