larvndiary Forest Fire Set Sun
day Near Itoseburg
Uudcr Control
PORTLAftiP, Aug. -8- (AP) A
ubstantial reduction , in the fire
hazard in the northwest was seen
today by forest service officials.
Continued high humidity and a
failing of temperature accounted
lu; large degree to the lessening of
danger of further outbreaks and
contributed to success in fighting
existing fires.
jThe flra on Herman creek in
the Mount Hood national forest
was burning today but was under
control. It was started by sparks
from a fire in the Columbia na
tional forest across the Columbia
river.
tThe Columbia forest fires ap
peared to be under control, al
though they were still burning.
Fifteen men were sent to Lewis
rivr, near Hungry creek, in the
r orthwest part of the Columbia
forest where the fire was half
a in fie long.
The large blaze at Soda Springs
was fast brought under control
tonight but had spread in area.
The force fighting this fire was
increased from '4 to 60 men.
Sixty men were engaged In a
battle with : flames on Elk creek
near Medford, said to have been
caused by careless campers.' The
fire- covered about 80J acres of
virgin timber.
Between fifteen and twenty In
cendiary forest firest Bet yester
day on Stouts creek, a tributary
ofthe South Umpqua river, were
controlled today, Roseburg dee

the same area where last year
Incendiarism' caused one of , t-e
worst forest conflagrations . in
the history of the country.

Report Shows
Enrollment in the public schools
of Marion county reached a total
of 11,386 in the school year 1926
1927, according to the annual re
port now being compiled in the
otfice of County Superintendent
Mary L. Fulkerson.
Of the 8.611 pupils in the ele
mentary schools, 1289 were regis
tered in the first grade, and 1040
in the eighth. There were 911 'E'
pupils (those who had been pre
viously registered but removed to
another district during the school
year), of whom 171 were in the
first grade and 61 in the eighth.
A total of "2,775 students were
enrolled in the high schools, of
whom 898 were in the ninth grade
and 519 in the twelfth. In addi
tion there were 155 E students,
the report shows.
"" Four , hundred seventy-four
teachers were employed, of whom
313 women were in the grade
schools, and 90 women were in the
Lfgh schools. Thirty-seven men
teachers were employed in the ele
mentary schools, and 34 in the
high schools, showing a greater
percentage of men in the high
schools.
Teaching certificates were
granted 139 teachers upon gradu
ation, 103 of whom were given 1
year certificates, 11 for five years,
24 for life, and one for the pri
mary grades only.
Normal school graduates in
teaching positions were shown to
b: 174, of whom 44 had one-year
certificates, 59 for five years, and
71 for life.
Among the college or university
graduates, numbering 111, twenty
five had one year certificates, 50
had fire year certificates, and
36 were eligible to teach for life.
Of the remaining 60, 28 had taken
graduate teacher training courses,
and 22 were engaged as special in
structors. The majority of the college or
university graduates occupying
leaching positions in the county
were employed in the high schools.
Thus it is seen that with a to
tal of 11.386 pupils in the schools
each of thetotal of 11,386 pupils
each of the 4 74 teachers must
have an average of 24 pupils un
der his or her charge.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 8.
(AP) From the first of the na

the summer " White House since
President Coolidge issued his note
disclaiming another term, the im
pression was gleaned today that
the race for party's nomination is
at present a neck and neck affair
between a group which however,
does not include Mr. Coolidge.
Completing a. week end visit at
the game lodge during which he
had declined to comment, William
V. Hodges, treasurer of the repub
lican national committee, finally
spoke of the party's prospects, but
even then in such carefully guard
ed phrases that it was different to
determine just what he thought of
the president's terse statement of
his intentions in 1928.
Party Declared Strong
"As a party man," he said, "I
believe the party .has been made
stronger under the leadership of
President Coolidge and it will be
able to meet the task of selecting
a nominee and electing him next
year."
He declined very definitely to
be drawn into any discussion of
whether Mr. Coolidge's name
might be brought before the con
vention but when the conference
was over there was the feeling
that he was convinced the presi
dent intended to retire from the
White House March 4, 1929, no

Maurice Drouhin, the French fli

The signing of the contract
gave the Columbia a good chance

has the distinction of having
flown from Hew York to Ger

CURE SUCCESS
NO TRACE OF DISEASE FOUND
IX 3 COWS TESTED 'H's '
Prominent Scientists Characterize
v New Situation aa.
"Remarkable
PORTLAND, Aug. 8. (AP)
Five months ago ten cows which
had shown every sign of advanced
tuberculosis and which had been
condemned by United States, herd
inspectors, - were selected for a
test of the supposed tuberculosis
cure evolved by Dr. George Kirk-
patrick, Portland veterinarian.
Today .three of the ten .cows
were slaughtered and subjected to
a searching examination for traces
of the disease. At the end of the
examination the carcasses of all
three were passed on by Dr. A'.
J. Dinse, United States inspector,
as free from tuberculosis and fit
for human sustenance.
This was the outstanding de
velopment of the scientific clinic
held today as a climax to the
official test sponsored by the city
health bureau and other research
agencies.
Taken alone, it was said, the
development means nothing posi
tive from a scientific viewpoint.
This thought was emphasized by
Dr. T. D. Beckwith, professor of
bacteriology at the University of
California, and Dr. J. Traum, pro
fessor of veterinary science at the
same institute, the men who con
ducted the examination today in
the presence of other distngutish
ed authorities on animal tubercu
losis.
The same authorities, however.
characterized the absence of tu
berculosis in the carcasses as "re
markable."
Attention was called to the fact
that the glandular structure, of
one of the animals was found
free from" tuberculosis. This is
said to be an almost unheard
circumstance in animals which
have reacted previously to the
tuberculin tests. "Suspcious are
as" were found; in the glands of
the other cows and the . entire
viscera of both condemned.
Nothing definite will be anf-
nounced by Dr. Beckwith or Dr.
Traum until laboratory tests of
the suspected glandular structures
have been completed, they said to
day. This, they said, will take
three or four months and will in
volve not only microscopic tests
but the innocnlation of animals
with serum from the doubtful
spots. ,
The Calf ornia scientists were as
sisted in the examination today
by Dr. M. O. Anderson, head of
the United States animal hus
bandry bureau here, and Dr.
Dinse. Ordinarily the examina
tion consumes only a few minutes.
The experienced inspector, feeling
his way over the glands can .east
ly pronounce whether this or that
portion is possibly tubercular.
F.ut no such method was followed
today. Every inch of gland
throughout the entire alimentary
was sliced open, and subjected to
trained scrutiny.
As the cows had been condemn
ed five months ago it might have
been supposed, Dr. Dinse said,
that many suspected areas would
have been found. But scientific
observers standing near remarked
on the fact that the California
scientists appeared td find but few
specimens to take to their labora
tories. , : . .. . .
