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.

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

P, M.' Dater, district engineer- of the

forest examiner, have returned from the
Three Rivers country, on the coast south
of Tillamook, -where they Inspected road
construction ; and Investiga tied ; water
power possibilities. ! "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. From Newberg on,
we' found another change, the presence

Permits Are to Be
Required for Fires
In National Forests
Permits 'must be obtained to build
campfires in the Columbia national for.
est this summer, . 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.
The public ' cooperated icheerfully wtth
the forest officers In their efforts to keep
fire .out of these areas. Permits may be
obtained without cost upon application to
forest officers stationed along the? trails
leading into the forest in the watersheds

BEAVER
DESTROY
FRUIT TREES; TO
HAVE NEW HOME
Activities of Furry Rodents Bring
State and Federal Officials
to Scene, Removal Planned.
Walla Walla, July 3. 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.

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. ':. -:..-:(.
