MONDAY; AUGUST 23, 1920. THE OREGON DAILY! JOURNAL, PORTLAND.. - OREGON MILES PO NDEXTER COMING HERE FOR G.O. P. CONFERENCE ' ' Republicans are to foregather In Portland Tuesday In conferences which it Is said will be of deep im port. The loutstandlngr figures will be Senator j Miles Poindexter, who comes from-Seattle, and who is the chairman of the Republican national senatorial campaign committee; El ; mr Doverj assistant to Raymond , Benjamin, Republican regional di i rector ; for the Pacific ; coast ; and ; Rocky! mountain states, arid R. N. Stan field. Republican nominee for United States senator from. Oregon. ; Dover comes, it la aaid, to look over the field in general, and determine where the Republican national commit tee can best assist the state and county committees, and U is understood that he will als make a first-hand report to Presidential Nominee Harding as to the outlook in Oregon. I : ; -s Oregon voters will be Interested In learning' the ;"who's who" on Dover. He was pecretary to Mark Hanna In Ohio in the old days when Harding was moving .along in lowly fashion on the political ladder. bnt Lthey were close personal friends.; He i was then secretary of the Kepublloan national committee in Mc Klnley's campaign. For the last 12 years he has resided in Tacoma. where he has been connected with a light and power corporation. ; It was natural, therefore, that Harding, in turning his eyes toward r the Pacific Northwest for accurate polii tical .information, should have gladly made use of the fact that Dover is to visit this field, in order that he .may get direct information as viewed through the Dover eyes. ' j" j ,j ' . , I Senator Poindexter heads a new com' mittee in national politics. Heretofore. there has been maintained a national congressional committee, but a national senatorial committee in the Republican party is a novelty. The senate now stands ; 47 to 47, eliminating the two whose seats are questioned, and the Re publican national committee has under taken to back campaigns in doubtful dis trict in thT Rocky Mountain and Pa cific Coast states. It is Baid. In this jurisdiction are eight states. Reed Smoot, senator from Utah, stands for re-election, and Wesley L. Jones is the senatorial candidate in Washington. Senator Markus A. Smith. Democrat, seeks to return from Arizona, and the Republicans will give him a strong con test, but have not. yet decided upon their candidate, Democratic Senator James D. Phelan seeks re-election ' from Cali fornia, t and the Republicans will.: select their candidate August 31. Charles S. Thomas. Democratic; senator from Colo rado, also seeks reelection, and. the Re publicans have yet to select their candi date la that sta.te.j John F. Nugent, . Democrat, is the incumbent from Idaho, and. George; E. Chamberlain, Oregon's Democratic j senator,' opposed by , Stan field, will be given especial consideration in the conference of .Tuesday. ! Register- early and avoid , the rush. This is the advice of County i Clerk Beverldge, who declares that voters are making inconvenience for themselves and trouble for the registration depart ment by holding off until the last few days - that the registration books are open, j You j can register now at Mult nomah county registration department, first floor pf the court house. 1 The books ; will i close October 2, but don't Wait, says Beveridge. ; . j "Wei have had experience here," he nays, "wherein fully 5000 persons have Undertaken j to register within the last two days. ! The result ia trouble all around. Citizens should attend to this duty promptly, thus insuring conveni ence for themselves and relieving the office I of a congestion that is most try ing. Persons are registering now; at the jiate 6f not more than 12 a day." j A law adopted in 1917 provides that every two years the registrations lists of eatfi county in Oregon must be check ed up with the lists in the office of the secretary of state, but this has never been j done ; in Multnomah county since the statute; went into effect. It has to be done in each county on the call of the state official ; but because of the con ditions in the state office, it is said that the call for this county will not be is sued; previous to closing the registra tion jthis season. This means a saving of probably S600 to Multnomah county, for otherwise an extra force of clerks would have to be employed to check up on the registrations before election. By going over until j after election, the regular corps in the registration depart ment will be able to do the work. Three Hardlng-Stanf ield ! clubs have Just been organized in Columbia county at I St. Helens, the county seat ; at Rainier and at Clatskanie. A ! permanent organization f the Eastern Multnomah County Republican club will take place at S o'clock Monday night at Carter hall in Gresham. A temnorarv orranfzat last Tuesday, with 40 members enrolled. xi is expectea the membership will be fully doubled Monday night Mrs. Tar- lor Z.! Marshall of Belvidere. 111., will speak ! on "Woman in Politics," and John I Day, Republican county - cen tral committee chairman, will speak on "Organization." Definite plans for the Cox Itinerary are expected to arrive at Democratic headquarters In Portland within the next two days. No local plans will be made until these schedules are received. The Republican county central, commit tee for Multnomah county .meets Tues day night at the Central library building. Congressman C. Nj McArthur, Senatorial Nominee Stanfield and Mrs. Taylor Z. Marshall Willi be the speakers. . r . - . i ..-. - ' September 10 is the date set for the formal opening of the Republican cam paign in Multnomah county by the state and county central committees. A rally will be held that night at The Audito rium, j One of the national campaign speakers will give an address, but who this will be has not yet been determined. I .- . . Thei Cox-Roosevelt i club of St. John's and Portsmouth will meet at the St. Johns! library! Tuesday at 8 p. m. John A. Jeffrey will be the principal speaker. Mrs. W. M. Richards will preside. Mrs., Smith; Bourg is in charge of the music. i 1 " , - Waters, Who Escaped From Deportation! Is Arrestbd in Seattle ; h i . '.

A. Brandt, skipper of the S. 8. Indus of the Svenska Ostasiatiska company, to provide the ship with sailors for the outbound voyag-si Swedish Vice Consul Valde mar Udell Monday filed suit In cir cuit court demanding a "refund of $360 excess charges, , i Lidell says Brandt -assigned the case to him to handle because of the sailing of the vessel. He alleges that as the Indus was about to sail August . 12. it was without sufficient help and .Grant was asked to provide 12 sailors, which he did, making a demand of $4S0, or $40 a man. for his services., Brandt protested- the charge, Lidell asserts, but was told that "no ship; can leave this port until he (Grant got his fee for whatever he cared to charge for any man signed here, whether through him or otherwise." Li dell asserts that Grant had no irlght to charge more than $10 fee per man, and is suing for the difference between what he calls the legal fee and the fee ac tually paid. Salem,: Aug. 23.

' Special Three Mill, Tax for City Needs Will Go on Ballot A bill providing for a special 3-mill tax to cover expenses of the city gov ernment during 1921 will be placed on the ballot at the November election, ac cording to a decision reached by mayor and city commissioners at a- meeting In the office of City Attorney La Roche Monday forenoon. " No increase in city taxes over 1920 Is proposed in the measure, however, as the 3-mill tax was . operative to meet the expense of the city administration last year. Growth in population and steady Increase in wages and cost of materials make the special tax neces sary, according to Mayor Baker, Funds : available from regular tax sources would leave the city approxi mately $1,000,000 : short of ., actual re quirements. By "paring to the bone" it will be possible to get through the year with the assistance of the additional 3 mills, the mayor stated. Operators of Mills , Interested in Few I Log-Sawing Plan (Portland lumbermen and nill oper ators are keenly interested in a new method of sawing tapered logs, present ed by Tyree Rodes of Tennessee. The Rodes method provides for sawing logs parallel to the bark instead cjf parallel to the heart, as is done in most Western mills. The saving effected averages 10 per cent in board feet and. because of the -. increase In clear lumber secured the value of the average tapered log cut by the Rodes method is about 30 per cent greater than when the old method qf sawing is used. j . " jThe Booth-Kelly mill at Springfield and over 50 other mills in Western Ore gon', and , Western Washington f have adopted the Rodes method and it : has been used for several yearsj in more than 400 eastern sawmills, according to Rodes. The saving in lumber hnade pos sible by the new method is a j matter of great importance to southern ine oper ators whose log supply is being depleted at a rapid rate. j , Tyree Rodes Is a successful lumberman and has been engaged in the business in the South and East for over 40 years. He is making a tour of the Corthwest, inspecting lumber mills and timber tracts and incidentally preaching, the; gospel of thrift to lumber manufacturers. Rodes ia at the Portland hotel.

KEEN CONCERN IN GUARDING FORESTS Deep Interest o Northwest lum bermen In the problem of forest perpetuation has been noted by E. E, Carter, assistant United States fores ter In charge of the forest manage ment department, who Is spending a few days in Portland, i going over timber sale projects with .Fred Ames and T. T. Munger, . "Wherever I have been in Oregon and California' said Carter, have fourtd that the lumber Industry in general has been much interested In the economic data brought out' in the report of the forest service in response to the Capper resolution, particularly in i reference to the supply of timber In the future for the . great consuming operations ofxhe country in the Middle West and the east. "Apparently it came as rather a sur prise to many of them to have this re port pomt out so clearly as it does the extent to -which these great consuming centers have become dependant- upon West Coast timber. The. inevitable re duction in the cut of southern pine and the inevitable increase in ' consumption within the southern pine belt itself have between points of especial interest. " rne reaction has been I to arouse a still greater interest In the necessity for protection from fire of the standing tim ber in the West and to secure a much greater appreciation than, ever before of the necessity of fire protection in stands of young growth, . This apprecia tion has unquestionably been helped by the scattering logging operations now belnj? conducted In relatively young stands for - the production of low grade material such as ties." -t . Carter fills the position recently occu pied by Colonel William B. Greeley be fore 'his appointment as United States forester, to which he was promoted from that of an inspector. He is in 'Portland for a few days, leaving here for the Sound. He will visit the forest service offices at Missoula, Mont before return ing to Washington, D. C, the middle of September. .....
