Epworth Leaguers From Many
Parts of OreRon to Gather

FALLS CITY. July ' 27. (Spe
cial.) The annual encampment
of the Epworth Leaguers in the
beautiful park joining Falls City
on the west has become the big
event of the summer to many
residents of this city, as well as
several hundred earnest young
people of the Methodist church in
Oregon.
Last year saw a larger attend
ance than on any former occasion,
and it is anticipated that this
year's registration of students will
pass the 504 mark.
In addition, the faculty mem
bers, families who come for the
recreation as well as study, and
those engaged in caring for the
delegates will bring the total above
a thousand. ,A large additional
attendance 1st expected for the
closing days. '
Many changes have been made
and improvements added to make
the .park more comfortable and
sanitary, among them a compli
ance with the regulations of the
state board of health regarding
toilets in public camps; an exten
sion of the water system through
out the camp, with six additional
hydrants.
About six hundred feet of new
pipe .has been laid. Two telephones
have been installed, one in the
office and one in the dormitory
for the commissary department.
The -electric lighting is prac
tically the same as last year, eight
park lights and street lights from
Mitchell street up Seventy street
up the sidewalk along the line of
the park grounds.
In the shower baths individual
dressing rooms and baths, mirrors,
and . a'sihk will add to the com
forts of the bathers. It has been
arranged to keep the showers open
from 5 mm. to-JO p5 m.
.' The city has mide some im
provement in the street leading to
the park, and i one thing which
will add to the comfort of motor
ists is a . coat of oil which .should
hold the dust even with 'heavy
traffic. ,

DANGER OF FIRE
WORST IN YEARS
HAZARD GREATEST IN NON
TIMBERED AREAS, SHOWN
Luxuriant Growth of Vegetation
and Recent Dry Weather
Responsible
The combination of- unusually
good growing weather in the
spring . and hot- weather with low
humidity more recently, has cre
ated one of the most serious fire
hazards in the non-timbered and
semi-agricultural and grazing dia
tricts of Oregon that the state has
faced in many years, according to
a statement issued here Thursday
by F.t A. Elliott, state forester.
"A favorable spring has result
ed in a growth of grass and weeds
several times more dense than in
previous ryears," said the state
forester. "The recent hot weather
with the corresponding low. hu
midity has dried., the vegetation to
a state , where ; it represents an
acute fire- hazard. The material
is so inflamable that a spark will
ignite it.
"While the damage to such
areas through fire might be a
nominal one, the real danger lies
in the destruction of farm jiropr
erty or by such fires spreading
into the timbered areas. Build
ings and other improvements on
untenanted farms where weeds
and grass haye been permitted to
grow, are almost certain to be de
stroyed if fire happens to break
out.
"All owners of lands on which
a hazard exists should take imme
diate steps to reduce such, hazard
insofar as possible. Weeds and
g.r,ass shpuld .be cut and removed
wherever adjacent to buildings or
other improvements and in case
the hazard is very great, furrows
should be plowed.

state realize the seriousness of the

THE 1928 ROUNDUP
EXPENSE ITEMS
CUT AS REBUKE
CIRCUIT JUDGE DISAPPROVES
PART OF REPORT,
Extra Compensation Claimed By
Koy Nelson Not Justified,
RnUng '
In rebuke to public officials
who might incline toward lavish
expenditure of public, funds en
trusted to their keeping. Circuit
Judge : L. H. McMaban yesterday
issued an order disapproving
various expenditures of .Roy Nel
son, deputy state superintendent
of banks, in connection with - the
liquidation of the defunct 'Oregon
State Bank at Jefferson.
Mr. Nelson was ordered to re
turn to the trust funds .of the
bank 1113.65 which he paid to
himself as compensation in ex
cess of the salary of JJ75 a month
approved by the court. He , also
was directed to return tavthe bank
$53.81 of a total Of $836 which
he drew from the institution as
traveling expenses. The court
held that the traveling, expenses
should have been charged at-the
rate of three cents per mile in
stead of eight cents, a mile as set
out in the report of the deputy
superintendent.
The "court further ..disallowed
$4.50 expended for binders. Guy
N. Hickock, also deputy state su
perintendent of banks, was . or
dred to return to the Jefferson in
stitution $1.85 of fupds expended
for meals. The meals were listed
at 96 cents each. The court held
that $1.50 a day was sufficient
for board of officials.
In the order the. court found
that When the order naming $175
as the monthly salary of Nelson
Was filed, the word maintenance
was changed to sustenance. In
the language of the order "The
court at the time of making the
order understood that the allow
ance of fifty dollars ($50.00)
maintenance was for paying the in
cidental expenses of the bank-and
by no process of reasoning could
the court assume that said fifty
dollars ($50.00) was intended-as
additional compensation beyond
the salary allowed to the said
' .

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO

Sections on Books Dealflig With
Liquor, Gold Dust to
Be Deleted
PORTLAND, July 27 (AP)
The headsman is sharpening his
blade in anticipation of the elimi
nation forthright of: aged, infirm
and worn out laws on Oregon's
statute books:, . -
: Today,, the .legislative, committee
on, repeal of laws, met here to go
into the matter, thoroughly. . The
committee consists of L. L. Swan
of Linn, county, chairman; J. O
Bailey, Multnomah; Loyal M. Gra
ham, Washington; Ralph S. Ham
ilton, Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson
Klamath and Lake, and John H
Carkin of Jackson, - . .
During the. last session of the
legislature the committee succeed
ed in eliminating reams and reams
of passe statntes. Old: laws which
had outlived, their usefulness,
laws affecting conditions which no
longer exist, were sorted out, de
bated and duly proscribed.
So eminently satisfactory was
the work of the committee on re
peal of laws that the house of
representatives authorized the
speaker to appoint a committee to
continue the work and submit its
bills for repeal at the session of
1929,
The committee, today held its
first meeting and a list of 87 laws
canle up for .discussion as to their
usefulness.
The committee voted to repeal
several sections having to do with
the sale of liquor. As these were
regulations necessary in the pre-
Volstead days, but not now apply
ing, they were marked., for
slaughter. . Another section to be
recommended for repeal affects
the sale of gold dust that is not
up to a certain fineness. Proof of
license to sell liquors is as dead
as a dodo, they argued, so that
regulation; : too, is - td be ' deleted
from the books.; ... ; .
