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

"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.

Medford, Or., July 20. 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. - ' .

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. Every suit ordered during
this sale will be made up as a strictly sample suit for advertising pur
poses, and at the absolute cost of production. I positively guarantee
every gentleman availing himself of this Anniversary Sale that I will
make to your own individual measure one of the handsomest high
class and STRICTLY HAND CUSTOM TAILORED SUITS DUR
ING SALE ONLY FOR 4Q, that I maintain and positively
guarantee will be the exact equivalent in STYLE, QUALITY, AND
WORKMANSHIP to any $SO ancl $5S suit bought anywhere
throughout the entire country, as those are the regular selling prices of
all high-class tailors for this grade of woolens, and which were also my
regular selling prices previous to this sale; same identical high-grade lin
ings, trimmings and workmanship will be installed in your garments as
though you had paid the regular selling prices of 50 anc 55
without deviating in the slightest degree from my usual high-grade
standard of tailoring, and which I positively guarantee. Every gar
ment will carry the Union Label and will be richly tailored by expert
union tailors of the highest standing, who have, been affiliated with me
for years, tailored in my own shop and. under my direct personal super
vision. I absolutely guarantee that the fitting of your garments will "be
absolutely! perfect in every detail.

clined relative to the genuineness of this sale and the sincerity of my intentions, here ia
my iron-clad guarantee Com down and make your selection. 111. measure you for the
suit you may happen to take a fancy to and order, and upon its completion if in your mind
you haren't received an actual $50 and $55 suit for $40, or if you are dissatisfied in any
way, don't bo the least bit backward in demanding a refund of your money, and it will be
granted you immediately and without any questioning, or I'U remeasurc you for an entire
new suit, whichever is preferable and agreeable to you. I am fully Capable of standing the
loss, your friendship and future business is far more valuable to. me than the mere selling
of one suit of clothes. It's my own proposition and. places you under no obligations.
Furthermore previous to your responding to my advertised sale, you're at liberty to go

to get a sample of any $50 and $55 suit in the city, including the number of the goods,

' 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. V,
