100 LOGGERS
HOLPflMS IN
(NAPPA DISTRICT
About 100 loggers were put to work
Sunday to ' check a new fire which
broke out Saturday night In the slash
ings of" the Big Creek Logging com
pany at Knappa, according- to infor
mation received at the Forest Fire Pa
trol association here. The chief war
den at that ' district also secured 50
additional men from Astoria. Reports
stated that the fire was bad, but that
it was still confined to slashings, not
having reached green timber. The
large tcrew was taken in to keep it tn
the slashings.
Conditions around Maples, Or., .in
Tillamook county,' are still very bid,
but Ci C. Scott of the patrol associa
tion said they were not quite as bad as
he had anticipated. Scott made a
scouting trip over all the large fires
in Tillamook and Columbia -counties
Sunday in a government patrol plane.
Scott found the Maples fire being
driven by a strong wind off the oeean.
He could not see the west side of the
blaze owing to a blanket-like smoke
cloud ; which hung low, but on the
other three sides he found conditions
no worse than had been reported- by
the wardens in charge. No additional
word has been received from this dis
trict since Scott sent out 40 addi
tional men Sunday in response to a
call Saturday night.
On the return trip Scott flew over
tlss Belding fire, where he found the
fighters had made great headway. This
fire was throwtng up very little smoke
and, is believed to be under control.
After alighting Scott sent a report
of conditions as he saw them from
the air to the Maples warden, ad
vising him to -try to check the east
erly and southerly progress of the
blase.
The! Columbia county warden was
the osly man to report-this morning.
He stated that everything in his dis
trict was in good shape.
Tue' Multnomah county sheriff's of
fice had two men Deputies Rexford
and Burt at a brush fire which burned
Saturday night and Sunday on the
Barr road between the Barker and
Fisher roads. All the men in the
neighborhood - turned oat and back
fired until, the blaze was put out Sun
day nSght.' At one time a residence
was .endangered, so the deputies
rounded up a tractor and had several
tanks iof water hauled to the place to
provide for an emergency. The water
was not needed,1 as the men in the
brush : managed to head off the fire.
Rexford and Burt were high in their
praise of the work done by the volun
teers. . ' ":"v .'

Proposed Plan to
Collect Garbage
:vlh Business Area
It is probable that within the next
two weeks an - application may be
made to the city coancll for a fran
chise to collect garbage in the busi
ness district and more condensed
apartment house and hotel districts,
so that these waste materials may be
salvaged by being passed! through a
reduction plant.
This was the information given out
by Commissioner BigeTow today and
he believes it may be a solution to
the troubles that are facing the city's
incinerator plant because' the demands
upon it have outgrown its capacity.
Should the incinerator be relieved of
caring for the garbage from these dis
tricts, its capacity would enable It
to shandle the remainder of the col
lections for at least another year, be
lieves Bigelow. At present it is nec
essary to pile up the collections, as
the incinerator is overburdened, and
plans have been under consideration
for erecting another unit.

in contested Multnomah county pre

morning when iWIH E. Purdy, unsuc
cessful candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, filed an ar
gument to intervene in the Hall-Ol-cott
Republican controversy.
Purdy makes . the same allegation
that featured an action introduced re
cently at Salem in which be asks that
the entire primary election be declared
void because of fraud. Specifically,
he avers that certain named individ
uals, taking advantage of the primary
law, had changed their party affiliation
from Democratic to Republican on pri
mary day and cast votes in the Repub
lican primary which should have been
cast in the Democratic primary, there
by depriving him of potential support.

' Among the persons charged " by

gation to be false. Mr. Irvine is duly
registered in Multnomah county pre

CAR SHORTAGE ON
RAILROADS BEING
FELT IN OREGON
Serious car Shortages are beginning
to cripple the ranscovitlnentat railway
lines in the Northwest as a result of
failure f these roads to obtain a suf
ficient return of empty cars from the
East, according to admissions made
by railway car service bureaus today.
First intimation that a grave situ
ation confronted the shippers of Ore
gon and Washington came today when
the northern transcontinental lines
were unable to supply requests for
ears coming from lumber mills and
private shippers in Washington.
JThls Inability" to supply lumber ship
pers came as a result of diversion of
all available cars to the" movement of
perishable goods, according to ex
planation made by the railroad of
ficials. CABS SCABCE '
For IS (lays the Northern line of
ficials have seeis the danger of an
impending car shortage and have been
Issuing : "plea after plea to ; EiStern
headquarters for the return ' of some
of the empty cars for service in. the
Northwest. But the lines in the East
have been crippled by the shopmen's
strike and the officials said that every
bit of equipment has been in constant
use, witjh the result that no cars have
been availabls for movement to the
West
This situation developed on top of
the growing shortage of motive power,
which leaders of the striking shopmen
have claimed and which the railway
managers admit to a certain degree.
"The isituation on the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and 8. P. & S.
is growing a little tight," said A. J.
Davidscn, general manager; of the
North Bank line. "Empties are not
lasting delivered westbound and we
ha'e just about used up our present
supply. There win be a shortage until
we get caught up with deliveries from
the East. i
EQriP3E3T FAULTY
"The Xorthecin Pacific is sending
through some cars and the Great
Northern has promised a few in a day
or so. The arrival of these cars may
pull us out of the hole. These lines
have promised to do their best."
The Union Pacific is also beginning
to feel the shortage of cars, accord
ing to A, S. Hering, car service agent,
who said that the lines in the North
west were not getting a sufficient re
turn supply with the result that a lit
tle shortage existed on these lines.
Hering said that the shortage was
mainly ionfined to box cars.
The Southern Pacific reported Just
a slight shortage, with plenty of all
equipment except special order cars,
which were being delayed In delivery
about 24 hours behind normal,
t Scores of complaints of faulty equip
ment are being sent in to the head
quarters of the B. of L, F. t E. in
Portland from trainmen, according to
J. C. Clifford, chairman of the Broth
erhood of Firemen on the O-W. R.
A N.
POWER CBIPPLED
"Motive power is certainly crippled
as well as the car supply." said Clif
ford. "Boilers are dirty because suf
ficient farces are not being maintained
in the shops to keep the boiler wash
ings up to regulation.
"Because the present administration
crippled the interstate commerce com
mission by cutting down funds, that
body is not able to keep enough in
spectors in the field, with the result
that inspection regulations are not
being maintained by the railways. The
condition is particularly bad In East
ern Oregon, where the use of alkali
water forces a boiler washing every 15
days to keep motive power in proper
operating order.
ORDER OBEYED
"The Interstate commerce commis
sion regulations are for the boilers to
be washed every 30 days and these
regulations are not being lived up to
by railroads in the Northwest."
J. B. Rhodes, chairman of the con
ductors on the O-W., also reported
numerous complaints from members
Of that organisation concerning poor
equipment.
The railroad managers admitted that
there was a certain amount of bad
order equipment, but denied that they
were usable tt keep their motive
power In proper running order so that
the traveling public would not be en
dangered Bride Charges
Missing Husband
With Polygamy
Polygamy was charged against Boyd
D. Maxwell, alias Harry L. Smith, in
a complaint sworn to this morning by
Mrs. Maria Francone-Smith, No. 590
Fourth street, who married Maxwell at
Vancouver on July 29. The charge
was filed by Mrs. Francone after she
learned that Multnomah courtty rec
ords fajled to show her new husband
had beea divorced from his first wife
within the last six months, as he is
said to have represented to her. Mrs.
Francone married Maxwell under the
name of Smith, and agreed to have
the ceremony performed at Vancouver
when Maxwell represented his mar
riage would not be legal in Oregon be
cause six months had not elapsed since
his divorce.
Police ; also found Mrs. Ruth Max
well, the first wife, today, at No. 26 S
13th street. Mrs. Maxwell Is an em
ploys of a department store. The Max
wells are said to have been married
nine years and have a 5-year-old boy.
Mrs. Maxwell may file a desertion
charge, police said.
Possibility of Maxwell also being
charged with forgery in the Washing
ton courts loomed when W. B. Ganoe
of Vancouver, an officer in the Mar
vin Egg Saver Co charged that two
notes for $400 each, which Maxwell
gave Mrs. - Francone were forgeries.
Maxwell Is said to have riven, two
company notes aa security for $700
which he borrowed a week after their
marriage, to invest In an airplane at

he is said to have promised that the
two would soon- be rich.

Prosecutor Takes
Step to Prevent
Lightner's Escape
Additional precautions were taken
today by United States Attorney Lester
W. Humphreys to prevent the escape
of Dave Lightner, captured fugitive
and. alleged narcotic vendor, when the
prosecutor wss notified that the
steamer West Faralone was arriving
at San Pedro ahead of time. Humph
reys wired the United States attorney's
office at Los Angeles advising that the
boat was reported 400 miles off San
Pedro Saturday night and was there
fore due some time today. The only
apprehension the prosecutor has Is
whether Llghtner is on the vessel.
Humphreys has found from examina
tion of the law that Llghtner will not
be able to raise any technical point
as to the right of the ' United States
marshal to arrest him at Los Angeles,
as the court will refuse to take into
consideration the manner in which he
was extradited from China.
Lightner is wanted hers to answer
five felony Indictments, three of which
charge a violation of the Volstead act.
On the eve of his trial on one indict
ment Lightner jumped $2000 bond and
fled" the country on the steamer Luis
Neilsen. He was arrested July 4 on
the high seas and put in irons, n
Shanghai he is reported to have es
caped from the consular prison, .' No
report was received of his subsequent
capture, the next message merely stat
ing that Lightner was aboard the West
Faralon in irons. Since Lightner's
flight Judge Wolverton has raised his
bond to 110,000.
Impromptu Radio
Treat Sunday Big
Surprise to Fans
Radio enthusiasts who tried to coax
out of the etheral regions some' shape
of entertainment Sunday evening were
suddenly rewarded by Clifford F. Wat
son of the Hallock A Watson Radio
service, who put on a half hour's pho
nographic concert from the KGG sta
tion. The Hallock A Watson instruments
never came through with such velvety
smoothness or as much strength is
they did last night, some of - the sig
nals, especially in one banjo selec
tion, being so strong that listening
with a head set was uncomfortable at
moments. .
How thoroughly .the impromptu con
cert was enjoMSd ojA people of the city
and vicinity was shown by many calls
that kept both the Hallock & Watson
telephones engaged.
The entertainment was such a suc
cess that Hallock ft Watson will en
deavor to arrange things so that there
will be some sort of entertainment
hereafter on Sunday evenings.
Long distance listening last night
was not satisfactory. Either there
was nothing in the air to be extracted
or else the instruments of extraction
were not functioning well.
U.S. Kef iners Seek
To Control Cuban
Sugar, Says Smoot
Washington, Aug. 7. (L N. a)
Seven groups of American refiners,
aided by Wall street financiers, are
attempting to control the Cuban sugar
industry and destroy all competition
from American sugar growers. Senator
Smoot -(Rep.) of Utah charged today
in the senate.
These American refiners, he said,
have extracted $800,000,000 from the
American public in "unconscionable
profits during 1920 and part of 1921."
Two attempts made by Senator Pat
Harrison (Dem.) of Mississippi to get
senate action on his resolution pro
posing an investigation of an alieged

Double Murder .and
Suicide Blamed On
Abuses of Parole
San Francisco. Aug. 7. (I. K. S.)
Laxness in granting paroles was at
tributed as the chief cause of the
tragedy last week In which Walter
Castor, ex-convict sought on a murder
charge, killed Police ergeant Timothy
Bailly, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert
Castor, and himself.
The coroner's Jury found that Castor
was on probation for manslaughter and
expressed the belief that the deplor
able tragedy could have been averted
had greater care been exercised in the
granting of paroles.
The Jury recommended that authori
ties having to do with granting paroles
exercise extreme caution in their ex
tension to men of . known criminal
tendencies.

TILLAMOOK FIRES
NOT DANGEROUS
i A personal inspection of the forest
fires in Tillamook county was made
Sunday by C C, Scott of the Forest
Fife Patrol association, who stated
On his return that fire around Maples
is not aa bad as he expected to find.
He stated that the country is so be
fogged by smoke that the fires seem
worse than , they really are. v
The Beldlng fire is 1 not serious at
present, Scott said, although the smoke
is bad there also. The extreme dens
tty of tie smoke pall over the country
made K difficult to discover Just what
damage was being done, he declared.
; Ini answer to an 3. O. 8. call re
ceived Saturday night from the Maples
tires, Soo sent out an additional 49
men Sunday morning to combat the
flames. On Thursday of last week the
association sent 25 men an on Satur
day sent SO more men.
i As there are no telephones within SO
miles or the nre, communication witn
the fighters is difficult. It was learned,
however, that the fires are mostly
eoefined to the underbrush. Reports
from Columbia and Clatsop counties
were encouraging, Scott said. A heavy
fog from the ocean brought some re
lief to the fighters.
