LUMBER DUSTRY
PROSPECTS BETTER,
EDITOR OBSERVES
Among the eastern visitor at the
Portland hotel la A. I Ford of Chi
cago, managing editor of the Ameri
can Lumberman, the leading lumber
ir&ue paper ui mc tuuuu;.
Ford ears that when he left Chicago
three weeks and there was a distinctly
better - feeling apparent In the lumber
trade and the concensus was that the
wors,t of the depression in the lumber
industry had - passed . and that a steady
improvement might be hoped for.
STOCKS GENERALLY LOW
"Reports from various retail centers
throughout the country indicate that a
buying movement Is , at hand, he said.
"Lumber dealers generally : have per
mitted their stocks to run down during
the lull In building activity and now
must build them up again in order to
take care of the trade that .will follow
the harvest An active demand is ex
pected In all the agricultural districts,
especially for material for the construc
tion of granaries, corn cribs, hay sheds
and additional storage for the grain
that will have to be protected while
awaiting delayed shipment on account
of the car shortage. -CAB
SHORTAGE AtTE
"The lumber Industry generally la ex
periencing an acute shortage of - cars
and from the inability of the railroads
to handle promptly ana expeditiously
cars that ' have accumulated in eastern
terminals. With the granting by the
Interstate Commerce commission of in
creased freight rates the railroads will
be in better position to finance their re-
aulrementa and as, next to the farmers.
the railroads are the largest buyers of
lumber In this country, a demand la
looked for that will tax the ability of
the mills to supply. ' -
420AST PIAI8 BIO PART,
1n supplying the lumber needs of the
country the west coast Is going to play
a more and more Important part, for as
the timber supplies of the south grad
ually diminish the deficiency from that
section must be made up in the West.
This being true, the question of proper
utilization and conservation of the great
forests of the Pacific Northwest grows
Increasingly Important This has been
recognized by the National Lumber
Manufacturers' association which, at a
recent meeting in Chicago, promulgated
a national forestry program in which
the industry "and the government, fed
eral and state, may cooperate, and at
the "same time wisely selected as for
ester for the association to have charge
of this important work for the, Industry
a Portland man, R. T. Allen, an experi
enced forester who ' has the confidence
of the entire Industry.
HELPFUL PROGRAM PLAJfWED
"It Is hoped, through his efforts and
those working with him, that a program
can be workout out in which all may
cooperate and the great lumber industry
be perpetuated without Injury to the
interests of anyone."
Ford is making a tour of the Pacific
Nortnwest to get first hand Information
as to conditions in the lumber industry
in this section and wilt spend several
days In Portland and vicinity. He Is
accompanied by Fred H. Oilman of
Seattle,. western manager for the Ameri
can Lumberman.'

during the campaign. Plana for this
"pitiless publicity" of the big war
Chests of both parties will be dtscused
by the nominee today or tomorrow with
Senator Pomerene of. Ohio, one of the
Democratic members of the committee.
Cox indicated be intended to stress the
investigation of campaign expenditure
and . would demand an' Inquiry into
state as well as national funds. ;
With campaign costs on the same
level as the cost of living, leaders ad
mit It may be "hard sledding"? for both
parties to secure " the -' funds necessary
to carry on as extensive a battle as in
1916. f The Importance Cox attaches to
campaign funds investigation was in
dicated by Ae fact that his conference
with Pomerene is virtually the only one
he will allow to interfere with the writ
ing of his acceptance speech.
The scene of the Cox notification. It
has been decided definitely, will be the
county fair grounds here instead of
Trail's End, his' home. ;
A large temporary grandstand will be
erected, which, with the pavilion, will
give a seating capacity of about 6000.

HART KILLED TAYLOR
A bullet fired by I Neil Hart, Indian
Mexican desperado, i about 2 :05 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, proved fatal to Tay
lor.: The sheriff died at 6:10 p. m.
Hart, Jim Owens and Jack Rathie, three
of six prisoners who bolted for liberty
after they had overpowered Deputy Sher
iff ; Jacob Marin, were confronted by
Sheriff Taylor and Guy Wyrlck, a friend,
in the office as the men started their
exodus.
The sheriff lunged for Owens, largest
of the three, and Wyrick grabbed Hart.
The four Jostled each other into the pri
vate office of the sheriff, where the sher
iff and Wyrick were besting the pris
oners. Rathie worked around behind
Wyrick and, striking him a dazing blow
on the jaw. caused him to give up his
attack on the part Indian, Hart.
WTRICK PRETEXTS SHOT
Wyrick then started to down Rathie
and had the man by the throat and was
flooring him , when a shot rang out.
Sheriff Taylor groaned. Then he stag
gered back.; Hart had shot him in . the
chest, just under the throat. v- i:r:,:
"Throw up . your hands, you d Or
I'll kUl you, too," Hart told Wyrick.
Wyrick looked up and saw the gun
pointed at his heart. He complied. Hart
threatened to shoot the wounded sheriff
again but Wyrick quickly and coolly
advised ' against any such action. He
talked rapidly but unperturbedly to the
three men, asked them to call a doctor
and get water for the wounded official.
The water was brought by one but they
would not call a physician. ; t c
While one man kept Wyrick I covered
the two others went through drawers
and desks in the private office, taking
all the guns and ammunition they could
find. After nearly 1 minutea they left.
Wyrick called for assistance as soon as
possible.
DEPUTY IS GyEBCOME . - i
Physicians worked over the sheriff for
nearly four hours in the office before
they removed - Kim to St. Anthonys hos
pital. Just as he reached there he ex
pired. The jailbreak took place about 1 :45 p.
m., when Deputy Marin brought dinner
to the seven: prisoners in the jail. Rathie
struck Marin over the head with a blunt
instrument, but only dazed him. Seeing
that a fight loomed. Marin struggled.
with the men for. nearly 10 minutea He
was alone In the sheriffs department
and his calls for help were unheeded by
others in the building, who believed them
to be prisoners' shouts for pastime. Un
able to bind and gag the deputy the men
.finally "overcame him and removed his
pistol. .Albert Llndgren, Lewis Ander
son, Richard Patterson, Hart, I Rathie
and Owena made their getaway. Rich
ard Jeffreys, seventh prisoner, remained.
LIXDGBEX SAVES MARIS - f
Liindgren, - who has been in the jail
since April SO, advised his mates against
shooting Marin. He was first to leave
the building' and Is thought to have been
on his way when the sheriff and Wyrick,
returning from dinner, entered, f Rathie
Owens and Hart were seeking arms and
ammunition when confronted by the men.
Whether they shot with Marin's gun or
another taken from yie office is unde
termined. ' j .
- Not a word i was spoken when the
officer and his friend encountered the
f ugutlves, Wyrick said today. Jhere
were two lunges made, one by the sheriff
and one by. Wyrick. The Inquality of
numbers gave the prisoners their only
chance as they were both being bested.
DRAW WAS IMPOSSIBLE ' '
The small space in the office, together
ilth the situation in which the men were
placed, made it impossible for the sheriff
to draw his gun, Wyrick said. It was
a situation in which only a man to man
fight was possible for them. vThe fifth
man," able to move back a paee or two,
was the only one in position to fire.
After the sheriff fell, they removed his
pistol from his hip pocket.

CHAMPIONS CAUSE
OF JAPANESE RACE
Seattle, July 26. (U. P.) Judge
Thomas Burke, retired lawyer, ex
president of the old Chamber of
Commerce and one time trade mis
sionary to the Orient, came out bold
ly today as a champion of the In
truding race of Japanese.
- As a witness this morning before the
congressional committee investigating
the Japanese situation on the Pacific
coast. Judge Burke declared:
CITIZENSHIP 18 PRAISED
"In my opinion all the qualities of the
Japanese go towards making good citi
zens and neighbora In this they are
second to no other people. They have
respect for law and order, high regard
for the rights of other people. They are
peaceful. Industrious - and tnrifty. It
seems to me this is the first time a
people have been condemned for their
virtues," . .-;
Judge Burke followed Governor Louis
F. Hart and Miller Freeman, president
of the anti-Japanese league, to the wit
ness stand: The bearing Is being held
in the federal Courtroom,
A few Japanese were present at the
opening session.
Governor Hart explained that he was
not qualified to appear as a witness be
cause he was familiar with none of the
facts in . the Japanese case.
DATA IS COLLECTED
He had, he said, instructed heads of
various state departments a year or
more ago to get together all data re
garding Japanese Intrusion i-to lines of
industry, the schools and commercial
enterprises in this state. These heads
of departments, he said, were ready to
testify as to their findinga ;
"Twelve or-15 months ago, he said,
"I observed a' considerable feeling in
this state concerning the aggressiveness
of (he Japanese in various enterprises.
The feeling was keen because of the
unloading of ship loads' of Japanese here,
in spite of a .so-called .'gentlemen's
agreement. . f
"On the other hand," said Governor
Hart, "others feel that whatever Is done
be done in such way as not to break
friendly relations between the two coun
tries. I trust the next legislature will
enact some legislation with teeth in it.
to prevent property holding by aliens."
-The committee from Washington D.
C Including Congressman Albert John
son, chairman ; J. C. Box.-Texas : Wil
liam N. Vail, Colorado, and Isaac Sie
geL New"" York, opened . their hearings
here today in the south courtroom-of the
federal building. -
FREEMAN TO TE8TIFY
. Miller Freeman was to follow Gov
ernor Hart on the stand. Other wit
nesses include:
Rev. U. G. Murphy, retained by the
Japanese to present their side of the
case ; Rev. Mark' A. Matthews of, the
First Presbyterian church; W. S. Sant
myer of the school: board and many
othera ; ' .-
The committee will remain In Seattle
today and tomorrow, leaving at 4 jjT-m.
tomorrow for a trip through the thickly
Japanese populated Duwamish valleyno
Mount Rainier and will resume the Clear
ing in Tacoma Wednesday. -
State Labor - Commissioner C. 11
Tounger and others will testify In.Ta-1
coma . :.
" Returning here Thursday, the commit
tee win remain in Seattle until the in
vestigation is completed, with possible
side trips for the purpose of observing
the extent of Japanese penetration.

lost what little breeze there waa
Then one calm followed another while
they drifted sleepily along. They
turned to the starboard tack off Sea

ing from the southeast. For an hour or
two the boats crawled aldhg.
BOAT LIKE SNAIL '
When Resolute went about on port
tack' it took her a minute to travel her
own length. The sea was glassy , and
the sails of the yachts hung limp. : ,
The day served but : to prove : once
more that in light air. Resolute can
leave the Shamrock behind. - The green
challenger behaved sluggishly and amply
bore out a hint dropped by her designer,
Charles Nicholson, - that she steered
poorly. - It was an exasperating day for
the hundreds of sportsmen who patiently
tagged along after the drifting yachts.
Resolute, with a fair wind; footed out
ahead and at one time had ' a lead of
a Quarter of a mile.
: Resolute was nearly up to Shrews
bury buoy at 2 p. m. This was a
trifle more than half way down the
course. Shamrock had drifted off to
nearly three-quarters of a mile to the
leeward. ' ,.
With 3 hours yet to go. there was
some hope of a completed race it the
breeze came up.' - :
The regatta committee announced
Shamrock's handicap of six minutes 40
seconds would remain unchanged in to
day's contest..
The wind had picked up to four knots
at noon but it was east-northeast, which
made it difficult to lay a course in
either - direction without placing- the
turning buoy too near Long . beach or
the New Jersey coast.
RACE STARTS It iS
, The committee at 12 :05 hoisted sig
nals for a leeward race with the course
south by west, half west.
This made the race a 15-mile run be
fore the wind to the mark about five
miles off Asbury park and a beat back
to the finish.
The preparatory signal was sounded at
12:15 and the , yachts started , jockeying
for position. i
Th race got under way at 12 :at).
Both yachts crossed the line under bat
looners, and Shamrock at once headed
far off the course on a luffing match
to the -westward. Patrol boats scam
pered around clearing a passage among
the following craft tor the racers.
SHAMROCK GETS LEAD
, The official starting time was s
Shamrock 12 :30 :29, Resolute 12:81:25.
The yachts were tour miles ott their
course at 1 :10. A new wind appeared,
coming up from the south. "
At 1 :20 the Shamrock was leading by a
quarter of a mile and both yachts were
becalmed. t
The wind, which had been from the
north, hauled to the "east at 2 p. m.,
making the course a reach and possibly a
beat. The Resolute picked it up first
and .began to move well ahead, besides
being to the windward ' -
The yachfswere three miles southeast
of the Highlands light at 2 :10. standing
a little west of. south on the port tack
with the Resolute SO yards ahead.
RESOLUTE 18 AHEAD
. The Resolute was also 100 yards to
the windward. ' The wind had died down
again until they just had steerage way.
At that time they were more than 10
miles to the leeward of the mark
The Shamrock ran Into another air
pocket while the Resolute held the breeze
and at 2 :2Q the American boat had es
tablished a lead of 200 yards and was
traveling fairly fast.
At 2:30 the Resolute was a quarter of
a mile, ahead. -
The wind headed the Resolute and at
2:32 the American boat ran up a No. 1
Jib topsail for her ballooner.
The Shamrock held onto ner ballooner
and began to gain.
The yachts started on a nine-mile beat
to the outer mark at 2 :40. The Resolute
was one-quarter of a mile- ahead and to
the windward.

probably not worse than the French
revolution and it Is entirely up to Amer
ica whether the trials of the European

two years, who addressed members of

lar forum meeting Monday noon.

to that country to remain untangled In
the meshes of their insidious program.
Hatfield - said that transportation in
Russia was demoralised and that this
was causing a serious shortage of food
in all cities, although there was an ade
ouate supply in the country districts.

assistant attorney general of the United
States under President Roosevelt, was
a guest at the-luncheon and delivered
a brief and humorous discourse, con
cluding with a plea for just treatment
