The Journal's seaplane express to-Seaside a dally de livery service has created a widespread Impression and has won intense Interest at the beach centers alone the Oregan and Washington oast. Leaving Portland dally, except Sun day, shortly after 1 p. m.. with copies of the first afternoon edition, of The Journal, the seaplane express has made Seaside in an average of much less than two hours each day, since the establish ment of the service nearly three weeks ago." . !;f :. ,--HEAPLAKE 1 TAXED ThVblg 'Curtlss- F-boata reserved by the Oregon, Washington ac Idaho Air plane company for The Journal service are already being taxed to capacity with their d ally loads of newspapers. In spile of that fact, however, a-treat lamor for recognition has come from other beach - resorts in Oregon and Washington. As far south ss Newport, Journal, readers have requested seaplane delivery. This wide Interest has led to an ar rangement whereby, o Monday. July 5, just in time for the big Independence day celebrations at the leading beaches. The Journal plane will soar to Seaside and alight as usual in the Necanlcum river.- ; i - Thence . the pilot will head his bird towards Rocks -way. on ? the . Tillamook beach, where, flying low. he will drop copies of The Journal Into the crowds of July 4 celebrants. From liockaway the plane Will fly across the Columbia and drop down to a low altitude overl Lon beach. Wash., to deliver other bundles of the Monday afternoon edition. lhe service to other beaches than Sea side cannot be attempted as a regular delivery plan at this-time, it is found. ' because of the fact that the airplane company is already finding Its equip ment in such demand as to be only suf ficient for present uses.' CltOWDS TQ However. Rockaway "and Long Beaxb will be treated to an- Independence day spectacle of modern, commercial flying that no other beaches in the world have witnessed as a regular institution. Great crowds are expected at both resorts and already much Interest has been mani fested In seaplane express visits. , ,- The trip to the other beaches is not a r little thing, even in this day of modern air travel, since the pilot of the Seagull that makes this Ions flight will undoubt edly, be required to fly for a long distance-over the Pacific ocean. The route will be a comparatively new one for fly ing machines. r Following the visits to Rockaway and Long Beach, The Journal- seaplane-will fly back to Seaside and alight in its coast basin base for a abort' stop prior to the return flight to the Portland base. Yakima Enjoys. Boom In Building Industry .Yakima. July S. During the firstai'x months of 1920' Building Inspector Neils Storgaard issued 556 permits to build or to repair, which called for construction work of a total yalue of $1,066,220. T"his is the greatest amount'' of building that haa ever been done in a like period in the history of Yakima.' During all rJt 119. the banner year, there, were but 307 permit to build or repair issued, which called for work estimated to cost $1,329 'new 715.

They state that in their opinion the arrest was made without provocation, that the deputy sheriff was "rather un just," and that the delay in moving Dr. Anderson's car was due to , the fact that a woman acquaintance saw the visitors and started over to speak i to them. Dr. Anderson holding- the car for this purpose. "Our friend was walking but a distance of about 30 feet," said one of these men. "We regret exceeding ly that Dr. Anderson haa been Incon venienced and embarrassed by the inci dent when he was doing all within his power to extend hospitality to visitors." Three Milea Koad Nears Completion; ower Sites Noted P, M.'

"i The Three 'Miles road will be finished with the completion of a few bridges. said Dater. - The traffic is exceedingly heavy and- the macadam surface is al ready beginning to show signs of wear, similar to the country roads about Port land, thus demonstrating the need for hard Burface structure on top of the macadam. - - '-. v -; "The macadam surfacing will ' not stand up, declares Dater, "and eventual ly the road. will have to be hard sur faced. The road goes over the pass at 700 feet affd thus eliminates climbing over the high hill. Going over, the pass, says Daterr is no worse than going over Mount Tabor. V "On the coast it . is ; very cold, t The minute we crossed Into the Willamette valley It was very hot, the dry heat that you feel when putting yor face into a furnace door.

Supervisor' F. H. Brundage has announced. The ruling is for the purpose of lessening the number of forest fires caused by careless campers. "Ail persons desiring to build camp fires in those portions of the watersheds of Wind river. Rock creek, Washougal river, south fork, of . the Lewis, river and Siouxon creek lying within the boundary of ",the Columbia national : forest and also within the Yacolt or Siouxon burn." says Brundage "will be required to ob tain permits. ,:- -. , - ; ; .Because of the high fire risk In these .old r burns, the principle of requiring campfire permits was Initiated last year.

Within 10 days many of the beaver swimming the streams of Walla! Walla county, and in their spare time attacking and destroying fruit trees and other farm products, will find themselves amid new environs, where they will be expected to make their future habitat. s 1 Leo K. Couch of the biological 6urvey bureau of the department of agriculture is in the city making final arrangements for the big "drive" against the furry rodent engineers, and stated today that the first , experiments would be started tomorrow, but he refused to disclose where . the representatives of the stats and federal game protective organisa tions and the rodent control men would begin their work, or at what hour the trapping would start. v " . j , "That depehds very much upon the wui or the beaver," said Couch with smile. -' . , -- - : . SHEFFEB TO DIRECT HEMOTAi He did state, however, that the work would be under direct control of Theo dore Hi Sheffer, In charge of the rodent control bureau of the agricultural depart ment, with headquarters at Pullman, i B. W. Cooney. county agent of Klick itat county. Who has had much experi ence In trapping beaver in Nebraska and was with Couch in the campaign to rid a section of this state of crows without killing the birdarwill also be- an assist ant. Others who will t be engaged in the work include A. Van Ausdle, federal and state game warden, and W. H. Tal ly. Walla i Walla county agricultural agent. ; ... :.. ' ; - Reports received by Tally In response to inquiries sent out to the farmers of the Walla Walla and Touchet valleys state that there are upwards of" 2000 beaver in, this section. There are few places in the country rtiere the beaver has multiplied as rapidly as In this sec tion; Couch stated. BEAYIB TO BE TRAPPED Most of tle beaver trapped during the early part of the campaign, at least, will be taken to Rainier National park, where they will be liberated. It is doubt, ful if any of them will be released In the Wenaha or Umatilla forests, because it is feared they may return to their former habitats. . 'New Natural Gas . Flow Is Reported Near Kennewick Kennewick, Wash., July 3. A strong flow of natural gas was reported struck Friday in the Walla. Walla r. rn & Pipefine company's well No. 3, north west of this city, it is estimated the well is flowing- 1.000,000 cubic feet, al though the drill haa penetrated the gas sands but a few feet The well was drilled by WifUam Fil- more, who has demonstrated that a straight and perfectly cased hole can be put down through the hard 'basaltic formation encountered in the field. The new welt is located a mile and a half from the Walla Walla company's two other producing gas Wells, the lareer of which, company officials assert, has been producing j&OO.OOO cubic feet for more than two years. The new strike is held to prove a field of wide extent with a stratum of producing gas aands. FIRES IN FOREST DETECTED READILY BY PLANE PATROl Radio Proving Efficiency In Fol lowing , Air I Pilots) Routes Adopted Cover Extensive Field. , Initial flights of the forest patrol planes have been Indicative of the highly efficient, character of air plane patrol, says C W. Boyce, liai son officer at Eugene, who spent Saturday at the Portland office of the forest service. "All fires have been reported with accuracy," said Boyce, "and the. same fires were not reported from any other source. The: radio sets are working admirably and on the first day, the radio followed the plans all the way from Portland to Eugene and the ob server could catch the messages just before landing; in Eugene." . BOTJTES ABE LISTED . - ' ' Routes thus far adopted by the planes are, as follows : Thai north patrol leaves Eugene at S a.' m., flies east to Vfda. straight north to Bull Run ever High river and west to Portland." From. Port land over Columbia county to the south east corner of Clatsop. - south along Coast range, over Norman Nosa to Elk peak, down Into the' southeast corner of Lincoln county, where It turns and bears Into Eugenia. I - The southern patrol goes southwest to the eastern, edge of the Sluslaw national forest, bears down the Coast range and turns Into Medford Just south of Grants Pass. In the afternoon it bears to the northeast from Medford, over the head waters of the Rogue river, over the headwaters of the j Umpqua, straight north midway between the - valley and the summit of the Cascade mountains to Oakridge, from whence it swings northwest Into Eugene. EUGENE IS CE27TE& . These routes are subject to change as the necessity arises. Plana are being steadily evolved for the more efficient conduct of the patrol system, says Boyce. Eugene will be the clearing house of alii the, forest fires in the state through an elaborate system of reports and checks. One of the stunts of the airplane 'patrol wilt be the perform ance of a spiral formation immediately, above a fire so as to give the mountain lookouts a line on the exact location of the fire. ;w -- '- -- .. - In addition to the use of the radio In reporting the immediate location of a fire by airplane, the observer will make daily reports on blanks provided for the purpose with key numbers -that will give the exact location ofjths blase.

T7T Tl VALIDITY.OF MOTOR VEHICLE LAW IN OREGON ATTACKED Point Raised That Act Js Invalid i Because It Embraces More Than One Subject Not in Title. An attack on the validity of the stats motor yehlcle law will be made in j the Multnomah county - circuit court In ' the suit of E. K Crowley against Thomas M. Hurlburt, sheriff of Multnomah county, a In which-! Crowley seeks to recover possession of an. automobile,' or Judgment for I150Q, alleged'to be its value. The action grows out of a replevin suit. William A. Carter, attorney for Crow ley, haa filed a demurrer to the defend ant's answer, and given notice that he will reply' In' its support on the charge that the stats 'motor vehicle act is Invalid and .unconstitutional because it embraces more than one subject not ex pressed In Its title : because it contra venes section SS of the constitution of Oregon as to equality and uniformity of taxation, ; and because -it. Is in conflict with the organio law, . In that it pro vides that 71 per- cent of the net re ceipts under the act shall be returned to ths counties in which the money was re ceived and that -the funds shall be ex pended on roads outside of the cities of the state, and also that It does not provids for ultimata equalization. On behalf of Crowley, Attorney Carter will contend, according to his fllinr. that ths failure on the part of ths purchaser of an automobile to notify ths secretary of state of such purchase does not render the sals invalid so as to render ths prop erty purchased subject to the debts of ths seller, and that all registrations ex pire on December 11 of each year, and that at the time of the sals' of ths auto mobile In question to Crowley there was no registration In effect on this car. The contention wilt also-be made, ac cording to the filing, that the act pur porting to Invalidate sales under cer tain conditions is unreasonable in that It would effect a forfeiture of property Innocently purchased and paid for - to persons claiming- to be creditors of ths seller, it will also be contended that provisions of the motor vehicle law pur porting to Invalidate sales without com pliance with the requirements of the reg istration act was Intended to render sales Invalid only to the extent of rendering the automobile and the person holding the license subject ' to regulation and responsibility for acta in connection with the driving and operating of ths car. The points raised and ths court's de cision thereon, it ! said, will be watched with Interest by many automobile own ers of Oregon. ':. -:..-:(.
