Ore., Sept t (AP) H. M. White, assistant In charge of the district forest office here, announced today that only one large tire la the Pacific north- west, that raging- over 75.000 acres or virgin timber In the Col vllle national forest- of Washing ton, remains -ant of control. The statement 'followed a tea day check on fjree in national forests of the Pacific northwest, district. Oregon tires. White said, have been comparatively small, most of the damage having been done In forests of Washington. He added. however, that Oregon forests, par ticularly those la the eastern part of tie state, are like tinder. The Camas creek fire Jn the Chelan national forest, White de clared, la under f control, he said. it burnea pat more man t-v,vu v acres before being headed. 4- Bin niw STUDIES RADIO UW FIRES HILLED -' if I Plainville, Oonnectlcnt, he will in not spend more than one week's how John's reported salary of with the 978.OO rental. is Patronized the higher altitudes and this is what Is secured for his bows. The wood is only usable when cut in the winter and then It Is aged for long periods of time. He has on hand some wood that is 19 yean old. The best wood is to be found In old timbers such as barn sills. Mr. Hobson sells bows ranging in price from $16 to $100. His bows are made to order, to fit the one who is to use them. The Hobson arrows are made from Port Orford cedar and the hunting arrows are tipped with an especially made cedar. The bow strings are all made from Salem linen, treated by the Hobson special process. , The fishing tackle made by Mr. Hobson has gained almost as wide fame as the archery tackle. The Hobson rod sells tor $125 and all manner of rods and fishing tackle are made. No doubt-that much of Mr. Hob son's success is due. to the fact that he is an expert in the sports for which he makes supplies. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hobson and their son have won prises at archery tournaments and have held Pacif ic northwest and national cham pionships. The magnitude of Pacific north west fires this year as compared with last year was brought out by White in an estimate of acreage destroyed. He said about 164,- P00 acres have been burned this year while only 22,400 acres were destroyed in 1928. Lightning was said to have caused a majority of fires this year, ezs out of a total of uo having -originated in that way. Smokers and campers were blam ed by White tor 328 fires, among them the disastrous Colville blaze. MEET AT MID PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. I.

(AP) American engineering -skill, ingenuity and energy has been called Into play by Soviet Russia in the building of a great new model Industrial city Just north of here, between the Volga and the Oka rivers. In competition with engineers of six European countries, the Austin co; pany of Cleveland, Ohio, has been awarded a con tract by the Soviet government to construct a city on modern Amer ican lines. It may he named Austingrad as a compliment to its American builders. The principal-product of the center will be Ford automobiles and motor trucks, ultimately 600,- 000 automobiles annually will be produced. Involving the expenditure of $40,000,000 by the Russian gov ernment, this is the largest con tract of its kind given by the So viet authorities since they gained power 12 years ago and the new city will eontaln the largest auto mobile plant In Europe. Russian engineers had calcul ated it would require nearly four years to build the city but George E. Bryan, Jr., and Fred A. Col man, representing the Austin com pany, said "they could do It within fifteen months. They were prom ised a big bouns if it was done in less than fifteen months."

Bull Party Still' in Saddle Despite Difficulty in Making Advance NEW YORK, Sept. 8. (AP) With the ball party still in the saddle and riding still harder, the stock market entered the new month today, but progress be came increasingly difficult during the afternoon, and before the close of the session some of the ground gained earlier in the day was lost. More than half a hundred Is sues were hurled up two to nearly ten points to record high levels, including such leaders as Ameri can Telephone, U. S. Steel. Inter national Harvester, Chesapeake and Ohio and Southern Pacific. Recessions of 1 to 5 points from the best levels of the day were fairly general, however, when a wave of profit taking swept over the market in the afternoon. Outstanding points in the day's business news were announcement that Montgomery Ward's August sales reached a new high record 46 per cent above that month of 1928, and a report that one cop per producer, had raised the do mestic price 1-4 cent to 18 1-4 c a pound. Automobile production reports for August varied, Chev rolet showing a substantial reduc tion, while Buick and Packard showed gains over the like month of last year. U. 8. Steel was again brought forward as a leader during the upturn, when it was pushed up about 6 points to a record price at 261 3-4, but it lost about two thirds of its gain later. Youngs town Sheet and Tube rose S points to a new top, and the coppers generally responded to the red metal price Increase, American Smelting selling up about 5 points to a new peak above 129. Several of the' utilities were hurled upward, American Water Works, American Power and Light, International Telephone. Public Service of New Jersey and Standard Gas and Electric reach ing new high levels in wide gains. In the merchandising group, Best ft Co., and R. H. Macy mounted about 7 points each to new tops. but Montgomery Ward encoun tered, profit taking on the August sales announcement, and closed oft a couple of points. KING WOOD, Sept. 8. C. T.

A true, mother will do extraordinary" feats for the sake of her babies, even the dumb animals often proving their love for their little ones by doing what would seem to be the impossible, even going so far. as to break the law for them. That is what Duchsss, bob-O tailed black and yellow spotted mother cat, belonging to Mrs. Jas. A. French of Zena, did re cently when her kittens got hun gry for fresh meat. Duchess is accustomed to roam the fields and woods at will and frequently brings in squirrels and. small blrd3. One day when she was coming back from a hunt her pe culiar actions attracted the atten tion of her mistress. She would run a few steps and then stop as though torest. Upon investiga tion it was found that Duchess was dragging a full grown China pheasant home. Her kittens were soon growling and fighting over the toothsome meal. The bird was still warm, proving that Duchess had caught it herself. Duchess is just a medium sized cat and the mystery is, how did she catch the China pheasant which was as large as she is? She came from a bob tailed breed of cats and who knows but what she inherits her hunting abilities from some wild cat ancestor. Fun nier things than that - have hap pened. L LABISH. September, t.
